Volume One, Chapter 62: The Efficacy of the Pregnancy Remedy

Trembling slightly, Yao Lili gently took Zhang Jialiang's hand and placed it upon her own magnificent bosom.

Qiu Lizhen felt deeply uncomfortable. It was not even her son, so why was she so eager to interject? Yet she found it difficult to say anything further, knowing that speaking too much would only betray a guilty conscience.

Calling them domestic servants was a severe understatement. No sooner had five ox-carts traveled a few dozen miles than they rendezvoused with seven hundred soldiers. Every single one of these private troops wore chainmail beneath their tunics and was equipped with bows, arrows, and steel sabers. They marched murderously toward Qiao County, and along the way, roving bandits did not dare to cross their path.

No sooner had the words fallen than the first streak of bright gold pierced the edge of the black sun, transforming the world from pitch black to a mixture of ash-black and dazzling gold.

"Help me show some presence today and make a trip to the provincial capital. It is merely a simple social engagement, but the other party specifically asked to see you!" Gao said, his face full of anticipation as he spoke.

He smiled and shook his head, carrying a package of alkaline-laced bread to the Censorate. Since Song had boiled the alkaline water himself, he decided not to let him give it all away. He took a basket of it to the Hanlin Academy as a local specialty, distributing it from the senior academician down to his colleagues and his carving-student bachelors.

Qu Yu struggled to get down from Qu Xiangdong's body, and before he had even steadied himself, Gu Jinxi rushed directly into his arms.

"When you were reviewing the surveillance footage earlier, did you really not see anyone else enter?" Gu Xiaojun could not help asking.

Exhibition platforms for such war crimes and atrocities exist in multiple locations across the country. Consequently, the methods for constructing them and maintaining the current state of these remains are backed by ready-made experience. In this way, Liaoning Province has gained yet another base dedicated to patriotic education.

Most of these generals had joined the Flying Dragon Division back in Chenliu, and they had never before witnessed Zhang Guang display such a malevolent intent to kill.

Taishi Ci’s proud triple-arrow simultaneous shot, along with his curved consecutive arrows, were all casually and effortlessly batted down by Zhang Guang.

Identical swordsmanship, identical movement techniques, and identical combat skills—it was like watching a sparring match of disassembling moves, or someone dancing with a sword before a mirror.

A large crowd of bronze fighters had already gathered on the ground, witnessing the heavenly phenomenon with their own eyes. For reasons unknown, a heavy, ominous premonition swept rapidly across their hearts.

"Mr. Qin, this is your rainbow diamond card. Please consider this meal my treat. My name is Liu Xiaoxiao," Liu Xiaoxiao said respectfully.

With a deafening crash, a flash of cyan light swept across, and Yuan Hong no longer retained his previous slender and frail appearance.

"Good. Then let's head to the county government office!" Xiao Han agreed with Liang Yuan's suggestion. Having Mayor Pan Yang presiding over the matters here was entirely appropriate.

Xiao Han remained silent, watching the process very carefully instead. Although Bao Dagang had been arbitrary and autocratic back at the steel mill, Xiao Han acknowledged that Bao Dagang genuinely wanted to make the mill succeed. Furthermore, the reason he looked down upon or even dismissed his own work stemmed primarily from historical circumstances.

"What future is there to speak of? I have no idea whether I can even survive the immediate crisis before me!" Yuan Hong's expression remained calm, well aware that the words of the Queen Mother of the West were true.

Even so, she accidentally cut her finger while chopping vegetables. When the blood began to flow, Yan Yan was terrified. With a dark expression, he immediately put her bleeding finger into his mouth.

Originally, his physique was far taller and stronger than that of ordinary men. Now, with the full power of the Sixfold Martial God erupting throughout his body, he began to unleash his primal tiger nature, displaying his utmost prowess.

The Auspicious Jade Gourd failed to shield Shen Hao from Lei Huayu’s murderous intent, indicating that a half-step Heavenly Venerate realm was still insufficient to activate the supreme treasure left behind by Ji Jiu.

In the hearts of both men, as long as they remained alive, their conflict with Luo Chen would never truly end.

Furthermore, she knew all too well that if things reached the end and Gu Jingxing did not love her, she would only be hurt all the more deeply.

Long Tingchen was different; he was a golden bachelor. Although he had a son at home, if she were to marry into the Long family and bear another son, her status would undoubtedly be extremely high.

Aided by the power of the Eight-Fiend tier, the two of them successfully completed the ritual this time. However, Song Yunwu’s energy was completely drained, leaving her prone to drowsiness over the past two days.

Yan Yunchen could clearly feel that this mysterious force was clinging stubbornly to his body like bone-eating maggots, making it extremely difficult to neutralize in the short term.

The front mountain was not large, but it contained numerous ancient sites, the most famous being the Forest of Steles. Hundreds of massive stone tablets, each a hundred feet tall, stood erect, with characters carved into every single one of them.

Su Xi's gaze trembled slightly as she looked at her father's towering, mountain-like back. Her nose stung, and tears welled up in her eyes.

After arriving here, Wang Zhaohui parked his car in a parking lot, stepped out, and hailed a taxi. In any city, the people who grasped the most chaotic and varied kinds of information were undoubtedly taxi drivers. And the places where this information circulated most widely were inevitably the gambling dens where all sorts of unsavory characters gathered.

"Did the victim offer any resistance after falling to the ground?" the middle-aged man asked after finishing his notes, returning to his usual composure.

"Funny you should mention it, this scholar is precisely the one who ate your prison meals, and that is how I finally figured out why the Heir Apparent acted in such a manner!" Gu Gu burst into laughter.

The moment she stepped out of the cafe, Jiang Li still felt as though she were floating in the clouds. She had actually secured the partnership, and with such a massive platform, no less.

Seeing President Sun's face flushed red with obvious intoxication, yet still relentlessly pouring toasts, even Li Xiang found it a bit overwhelming.

The Lady Left knew that Xin Yan presenting these physicians could not be for any other reason than Linghu Le's sudden illness that night. Having a few more renowned doctors in the palace meant that should a similar incident ever recur, there would be several more methods of treatment available. Ultimately, it would surely prove useful.

He was the first to announce the formation of a brigade-sized unit for the protection of the country. His ambition to vie for dominance in the Central Plains was now unmistakably revealed.

The organizers invited Li Sichen to the stage to speak. Jiang Li tidied up her bag, pushed Li Sichen forward, arranged his speech notes, and retreated to the side to wait for him quietly.

At that moment, Fang Xian realized that his knowledge system was extremely disorganized. These operational techniques seemed familiar yet distorted; some were operations he knew well, while others far exceeded his current comprehension and understanding of knowledge.
