Going to school, cultivating alone deep in the mountains
So that was it.
Meng Yun had not expected that simply trying to win over the villagers would bring such an unexpected pleasant surprise. It seemed she could continue doing good deeds in the future; although the merit points given by individual villagers were small, they added up quickly given the large number of people!
Jin Yanchuan practiced under Meng Yun's guidance for another three days, and his internal energy improved rapidly. Afterward, he administered the Marrow Cleansing Pills to his two younger brothers, and the potential of the two boys rapidly approached that of their eldest brother.
A few days later, the Jin family decided to return to Wanqing Town, leaving only Meng Yun behind. Jin Yanchuan felt an immense sense of reluctance, especially since the divorce date agreed upon by Yu Chuchu and Shen Muqian was drawing closer. If she did not do something, how could she catalyze the process of their divorce?
In Lin Weiran's eyes, Lin Weiwei saw a deep sense of worry, which made her feel very warm. Weiran's own life was already in complete chaos, and on top of that, there were matters concerning the company and her father. Yet, amidst all this, she was still expending energy worrying about her affairs, making Weiwei feel that she was truly too inconsiderate.
Once the intravenous infusion was finished, Shen Mohe took out the ointment that Dr. Li had given him moments before. Xibai took it, stepped down from the bed, walked over to the only mirror in the room, and earnestly applied the ointment to her face.
Just as Chen Biao's voice trailed off, Zhang Jin, Zhang Pu, and the others successively began to argue about the matter. Although everyone lowered their voices and refrained from making a huge commotion, the scene nevertheless lapsed into a state of considerable disorder for a moment.
To be honest, even without going to his house, I could already imagine what kind of cold reception awaited me shortly. However, since I was already together with him, I would have to face these things sooner or later, and I had no choice but to brace myself and go through with it. Therefore, I did not tell him that I was feeling a bit flustered and scared, and simply followed him.
"She looks exactly like her; if it isn't her, then whose child could it be?" You Biqing threw a set of photographs showing Yu Jiale's kindergarten life in front of Yu Tiantian for her to see.
It was not that she was being narcissistic, but this dress really complimented her skin tone. Actually, it was mostly because she was fair-skinned to begin with, so she looked good wearing clothes of any color.
The sole remaining advantage Lu Yanxin had possessed from start to finish—the advantage concerning the rules—was also utterly obliterated because Zhao Renfan had comprehended the ultimate, peerless rules of destruction.
Consequently, our group descended the mountain. Kong Li escorted us back home and announced that he would come to pick us up the next day so we could head into the cave together.
Only then did I notice that although Qi Tai's complexion remained extremely poor—you could even say it was even paler than before—his skin now carried a faint gloss, lacking its previous dark, yellowish hue. More importantly, his protruding belly had vanished completely.
Raising my head to survey the surrounding scenery, I found the terrain here to be quite peculiar. As we walked along, cliff faces that were normally a rarity suddenly appeared in several spots, and the landscape resembled the crenellations of a city wall.
The grand scarlet-lacquered gates were imposing and extraordinary. An imposing Nine-Dragon Wall completely isolated everything inside the gates from the outside world. At a single glance, one could tell that the residents of this old mansion were by no means ordinary people. In the capital, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, a residence like this was something money alone could not buy.
Ever since she learned that Song Zong's death was shrouded in mystery, and subsequently discovered his employment relationship with Xiang Yinhao, her feelings for Song Zong had inexplicably diminished by a large margin.
As soon as those words fell, the chaotic void directly exploded. Four massive, pitch-black chasms tore open out of thin air, and one towering figure after another stepped out from within the portals.
Standing nearby, Mojia Yuan also instinctively took half a step backward. This subtle shift, seemingly insignificant on the surface, actually demonstrated that with Mo Pei's arrival, Mojia Longxi and Su Chen were now completely safe.
Jian Yiyun tugged at Fu Jinjin's sleeve, stepped out from behind him, and met Mu Zhijun's gaze head-on.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Baitian's expression remained unchanged, though the corners of his eyes seemed to twitch fiercely. Even so, he nodded, because this was not an issue.
I watched quietly while racking my brain for a solution. Yet what kind of method could I possibly employ right now? That grey malevolent Qi was afraid of fire, but could I afford to use a talisman at this moment? Or should I just report the matter directly to the underworld emissaries? If I did that, my identity would be exposed before I even reached the Underworld.
