Volume 1, Chapter 34: Shen Chi: The Sky Has Fallen

Shen Chi rolled his eyes, on the verge of fainting again.
Gao Shun shouted, "Hey! If you pass out again, that’s another three thousand!"
Wu Jiyun’s scalp tightened, and she hurriedly grabbed Shen Chi by the shoulders. "Stay with me, Xiao Chi! Don't pass out! I have something to ask you!"
Wu Jiyun didn't want to haggle over a mere three thousand Union Credits; it would make him look far too stingy.
Seeing her blush, Gu Linan lifted his eyes to glance at Xu Zheng up ahead, then used his phone to message Chi Wan.
Gu Chen was very curious: if the middle-aged man in white had retracted his thrust just now, he wouldn't have been injured. Even if he couldn't harm the man himself, given the sheer force of that strike, how could he have managed to wound him?
Mother Zhou did not understand. A six-year-old child is at their most mischievous age; it was hardly strange for the young lady to be a bit unruly.
"True, he did save me once," Huoshui added, but she did not elaborate. She only remarked that it was the right thing to do, though she did not commit to doing it herself.
It seems that the "blessings of the harem" are not so easily enjoyed. He hadn't even started enjoying them yet, and he was already overwhelmed. He truly wondered how those wealthy men of ancient times, with their three wives and four concubines—or even dozens—ever managed to survive.
The next day, as the sky brightened and the old matriarch had already risen, Wan Chaoyun finally woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, she caught the scent of food, and her stomach let out a hungry, protesting growl.
She no longer wanted the help of these so-called brothers; she only wanted what belonged to her branch of the family. Only with those assets could her son have a bright future. These so-called brothers were not to be relied upon.
Afterward, Master Liu ordered the drivers of the two jeeps to take the eight members of the action team toward the road to the airport.
"But! Do you think you are worthy?" The words that followed from the spiritual soul caused the smug expression on Fang Sheng’s face to stiffen.
The old man’s soul showed neither panic nor fear. He faced everything with calm, his eyes filled only with jealousy and envy toward the three of them.
Ye Zhenzhen saw the buzz on Weibo. Liu Rui had called to ask if she wanted to respond, but she felt it wasn't necessary. Jingjing’s post counted as a response on her behalf, and there was no need to be redundant.
Fujiwarachiba feared that if they left, Conan might secretly follow them or plant a listening device. To ensure his goals remained concealed, he had no choice but to have Vodka keep a close watch on them.
"Is—is this the entirety of your medical knowledge?" As Li Hua felt the new ability taking root in his mind, he continuously broke it down, absorbing the methods for treating complex and mysterious illnesses, which granted him a much deeper level of understanding.
After their initial clash, the two destructive energies continued to annihilate each other, before unexpectedly beginning to slowly merge.
The strongest psychic among humanity, the cold golden sun of the warp, a colossal, mummy-like entity sat upon the throne he had occupied for ten thousand years. The high-tech life-support systems meant to sustain his existence were gradually losing their effectiveness.
Just as Conan was about to feign cuteness to expose him, Fujiwarachiba decided he didn't want to waste any more time here. Wouldn't it be better to be home at this hour, holding his wife?
Seeing Sonoko about to spill the beans on his embarrassing school stories, Fujiwarachiba hurriedly let go of Ayako’s arm and clamped his hand over Sonoko’s mouth.
The moment he appeared, the arrogant and overbearing warrior’s pupils constricted, and a murderous intent flooded his face.
Passing by the pond, Dongmei saw a maid-of-all-work rushing past. She didn't pay it any mind, assuming the girl simply had some urgent business to attend to.
He thought of what Uesaka Sakura had said: that Matsueda Kiyoyuki had caught a cold in the rain all because she wanted to find that letter.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenchuan couldn't help but smile helplessly, for when put that way, his current frustration was entirely without reason.
