Volume 1 Chapter 38 Take Another Kick From Me

Wu Xingxue: "Good dogs don't block the path."
Wu Jiyun: ...
Wu Jiyun’s gaze swept over the cloth bag tied around Wu Xingxue’s waist, stuffed full of source cores, and he swallowed the reprimand that had been on the tip of his tongue.
It was also on this day, when Huang Zhenhu finished his seclusion, that Blacksmith Wang didn't even forge iron; he extinguished his furnace and sat at home, looking utterly miserable.
"What does the General mean by that?" Chu Fan was stunned by these words and immediately began to ponder. Liao Hua’s words could not be wrong. A moment later, his eyes lit up as he looked back at the General.
At this moment, Zhu Yizhi was dressed in short clothes and shorts, his flabby, pale, and bloated flesh exposed. With messy hair and a listless spirit, he looked nothing like a master at the Martial Saint stage.
"Brother Qin! It really is you! I thought it was Madam Lin again! How are you? I heard you woke up! And then..." A rapid-fire burst of words came crashing over the phone the moment the person on the other end confirmed it was Qin Shi, followed by what sounded like a sigh of relief.
"What? You’re saying that the Miasma-Repelling Pill is poisonous? But why didn't I feel anything?" The man’s face changed drastically.
Clearly, the consciences of these seven cultivators were not entirely lost. Had they been other cold-blooded, ruthless cultivators, they would have been desperate to shove Huang Xuanling behind them to serve as a shield against this terrifying demonic beast.
"Is the point whether or not they were carrying weapons?" Qin Shi was furious, his voice rising in pitch.
Later, Huang Xuanling gouged out the vertical eye from the head of the two-headed wolf monster and, combining it with several other precious materials, refined it into a top-grade spiritual artifact staff.
Chen Jiaojiao spoke with indifference, but the board members were caught off guard, and their anger began to rise.
"Old Madam, Madam, the Young Master has asked Xiao Ling to kowtow on his behalf!" At this moment, the Old Madam's chamber was quite lively. Madam Xiao, Xiao Yi's sixth sister Xiao Yingti, and a crowd of maidservants were all present. Xiao Ling stepped forward and knelt before the Old Madam, kowtowing six times to each of them as he spoke.
Perhaps it was Pei Junhao’s handsome smile that eased Mu Zhihan’s mood. Although she was still very shy, the tension in her heart had vanished. As she helped him wipe the water droplets from his body and put on his clothes, she began to speak more freely.
"Gege! Are you alright?" Rong'er, who was keeping watch outside the door, heard the argument inside suddenly stop and anxiously tapped on the door panel.
The atmosphere throughout the dinner was extremely tense. Since Lin Hanxi had returned to the mansion, the Prime Minister’s residence had been in total chaos, with lives even lost. Everyone was filled with speculation and fear regarding her, and the Prime Minister’s wife had even excused herself, claiming she was unwell, so she did not join the others for the meal.
"Xi'er, you're awake. Has the wine worn off?" Feiyu felt Xi'er stir slightly in his arms and asked softly. He lowered his head to see Xi'er with her eyes wide open, lost in thought.
"Indeed! The disparity in ability between Li Yuan’s two sons is truly vast. Li Shimin is a brilliant general absolutely comparable to your grandfather Yu Shu, while Li Yuanji is not even as good as an ordinary martial officer!" Hongxiu then recounted the battle situation in Hedong, which left Yu Ming suddenly startled as he listened.
The man’s remaining four hands each grasped a blade, an axe, a halberd, and a nameless banner.
A few days ago, the eldest son, Li Jiancheng, was brought back tied up by his second brother, Li Shimin, who claimed that Li Jiancheng had suffered heavy losses and been captured before defecting to Yu Ming. He was now held in custody, awaiting the Emperor's judgment.
His face was deathly pale, his breath momentarily ceased, and tears swirled in his eyes; he gritted his teeth, struggling to keep them from falling.
Lillard’s mouth opened and closed, but I could not hear what he was saying. I only suddenly saw the panicked expression on his face, and for no reason, my heart ached.
