Escaping from Death

Liu Yi rummaged through the warehouse and brought out a large quantity of medicinal herbs grown in black soil. Although they were quick-yield crops, their medicinal efficacy far surpassed that of wild ones.

She boiled them with spiritual spring water and served them to her newly acquired biological father.

She had never experienced being cared for so deeply by close family, and she did not want him to kick the bucket prematurely.

Liao Wanxun was moved to tears.

Sob, sob! He was now a man cherished by his daughter; he was no longer a lonely wanderer!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed, yet the pink egg had still not hatched.

"It's just because you're a fool, stubbornly holding on even in a state like this," Chen Fei said without raising his head, as his rejuvenating vital energy slowly permeated inward.

Her birth was merely a bargaining chip for her mother to control her father, and following her father's death, she held even less value in her mother's eyes.

The feeble suspect felt her body being embraced by a pair of gentle hands, while the long-dreamed-of fragrance lingered persistently around the tip of her nose.

"Damn it, I've worked myself to the bone, and Tianyi City is still only ranked third? What kind of crappy ranking is this!" Seeing that Tianyi City was only placed third, Yi Chuan rolled his eyes, waved his hand to dismiss the information page, and paid it no further heed.

The food at the construction site was hardly fit for human consumption; apart from a little plain white rice, there was only a large pot of plain cabbage soup. As for the sleeping conditions, needless to say, there wasn't even a wooden plank—they simply laid their bedding directly on the dust-covered ground.

Only then did Yuan Shikai offer a cold smile and say, "This fellow turns out to be a fierce bandit!" Yuan Shikai was clever enough not to label Gongren a revolutionary party member; had he done so, Gongren would have had no chance of survival whatsoever.

This kick landed squarely, bursting it open just like an egg, with the yolk spilling right out. "Ouch—Oh, my mother—my precious root!" Wu Yi passed out instantly from the excruciating pain.

"My Lord, this humble commoner is Huangfu Xuan, and the person beside me is my brother. We harbor a grievance as vast as the heavens, and we beseech Your Lordship to uphold justice for my brother!" Huangfu Xuan said with an expression of intense agitation.

Several strapping fellows were about to carry out the execution of Li Xian and the Red-Cloaked Maiden. The onlookers stared with wide eyes, gloating as they watched the pair, anticipating a fine spectacle about to unfold.

Wei Jingming, the only one who remained somewhat composed, had no time to ponder the exact method Wu Ming had used to evade their detection before he let out a fierce, explosive roar.

Chi Ran felt a pang of emotion. She climbed out of bed, hesitating over whether she should open the door and invite Shen Boxi inside. In this weather, with neither air conditioning nor a quilt outside, she wondered if he would catch a cold sleeping like that.

Turning back to look at Chen Feng, he had only been injured by Jiang Kehao, but turning misfortune into a blessing, Chen Feng had actually broken through into the Tendon and Bone Realm.

Although the sound of firecrackers exploding could not be heard, judging by the situation, Lao Fei and I understood completely! They were setting off firecrackers to celebrate the beginning of the ceremony.

The chill in Gu Qiyan's eyes unexpectedly shifted into a smile, making him appear as though he had reverted in an instant to that modest and courteous gentleman. He had underestimated these elders, having previously assumed they would refuse under any circumstances to voice their opinions. Since their arguments were equally reasonable, he would naturally have to give them serious consideration.

Clearly, his previously pleasant demeanor had all been an act, and now, in a single moment, he had exposed his true character.

Jiang Kehao felt right at that moment as if he were nothing more than a joke, a person who had fallen into such a treacherous pit.

"Qiyan deeply appreciates the words spoken by all the seniors. Should there be any insightful advice in the future, Qiyan will certainly listen with utmost respect." Seeing the figures seated above suddenly stand up and cup their fists toward them, they instinctively rose as well. This Lord Gu... turned out to be an interesting person indeed.

"That's right, Jin'er needs to get a good night's sleep tonight so she'll look gorgeous when she puts on her makeup tomorrow morning." Lin Lu activated her sisterly caring mode once again.

Never had she expected that upon stepping outside, she would spot the Duke of Zheng's paternal uncle's wife sneaking down the street holding an infant in her arms.

The crowd raised no objections after hearing her words. It was already no secret at T University that Jiang Keke lived off-campus and was cohabiting with her boyfriend.
