Volume 1, Chapter 38: Mom Is in Trouble

After entering the room, Xiaoqing threw herself onto the bed in a huff. Finding everything displeasing, she casually tossed her pillow onto the floor.
Could she really be outsmarted by her older sister? After all, she was a pregnant woman; she refused to believe she couldn’t dig up some dirt on her.
Xiaoqing was a dancer and lacked medical knowledge, so she pulled out her phone and searched the web for foods that pregnant women should avoid or things that might trigger a miscarriage.
As she read, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily. It was truly shocking to see how many foods could potentially cause a miscarriage.
If she were to casually add a few of these to the meals her sister cooked...
Clayton quietly lowered his crossed legs, his slightly rough hands rubbing incessantly against his jeans.
After Ximi spoke, Amuzhe couldn't breathe a sigh of relief; instead, he grew even more anxious.
Upon hearing Boss Chen's words, Chou Erdan found them acceptable. After all, the roads in their village had only been paved because the government saw their economic development. Other places were still stuck with dirt roads.
The cafeteria had already been exceptionally accommodating to him as a company commander from the military, providing better meals than those served to the guesthouse staff, and now they were offering extra portions.
But the disaster was far from over. After the earth was torn apart, something buried deep beneath the ground finally emerged.
"Uh, let's replenish our energy before we go!" Zimeng took the corn out of her bag, shoved an ear into his hand, and began gnawing on one herself. The two stared at each other as they ate, as if they were devouring each other instead of the corn.
Si Ji rolled his eyes. "By your logic, there's no need for me to go back. Someone from the class could just take it to Si Qi." He let out a cold snort. Come to think of it, these children had all grown up together.
With everything settled, he needed to relax after the recent tension. Combined with the stimulation of those passionate scenes, he couldn't wait any longer.
Before the man inside the door could react, Lin Haiqiong kicked him squarely in the shoulder.

Unfortunately, he was too naive. Zheng Xuan did not even dodge. Through the fusion of various bloodlines and treasures, his physical body had become incredibly formidable—hardly something the man could scratch.
Just as she was thinking this, her train of thought was interrupted by an excited hand. Yi Mo was patting her arm with the back of her hand, her eyes fixed on Mo Xinchen in astonishment.
"You hit so hard that I still can't stand straight. If something happens to me, what good does it do you?"
Even though the fat man was incredibly frustrated, he dared not act rashly with Black Panther watching over him, unless he no longer wanted to survive in Jiangcheng.
Waves of chill brought bouts of pain. An ordinary person would have screamed in agony, yet Liuguang only frowned slightly.
Wang Long popped the evening primrose into his mouth. It melted instantly, turning into a sweet liquid that flowed into his belly.
Lin Ruoxi covered her forehead and pursed her lips helplessly. She thought Han Yang had truly gone mad; in Jiangcheng, he almost never left the house except to go to the company.
Deep down, he felt a faint sense of unease. If they were discovered or if something went wrong, he would be the one responsible for the deaths of Tang Ji and Zhaoying.
"And here I was, thinking of you. I heard you and our junior sister were coming today, so I came back specifically to see you, but who knew you..." Yu Qiuyi looked at Li Yang with even more resentment. By the end, she sounded so aggrieved that she couldn't continue, lowering her head to cover her face.
When Li Yang asked Jiu Jiu for the reason, she insisted that she was his die-hard fan. She couldn't accept anyone inferior to her styling him, which was why she did it.
Since Lin Mengyue had come to the hotel with him, she must have made up her mind. However, he knew this was an impulsive decision, so he didn't do anything inappropriate, simply enjoying the warmth of their embrace.
A burly man was about to run toward the palace on the heights when a deep voice rang out.
Qin Ye observed from the shadows and realized that everyone coming to Lin Guqing's birthday party brought gifts, more or less.
Although these volunteer soldiers had spontaneously joined the ranks to kill bandits from surrounding villages and towns, the Youzhou Army soldiers received pay while the volunteers worked for nothing. Consequently, many drifted away, and the army of one hundred thousand dissolved by thirty percent in just a few days, fueling resentment among the volunteers.

A long time passed without the system speaking. Just as Li Yang thought it wouldn't respond, the system finally spoke. Its voice was slightly softer, making Li Yang wonder if he had imagined it.
"Friends will come to help me. Mother, drink some water first. I'll go cook some porridge so I can feed Father when he wakes up. He hasn't eaten in days," Hu Mei'er said, holding back her tears.
Her family was poor, and her university tuition was covered by student loans that had to be repaid after graduation. Her family provided half her living expenses, and she earned the rest through part-time work. It could be said that if she sold the pendant, it would truly improve her family's situation and change her destiny.
Historical records state that Princess Wannian never married. Some unofficial histories claim that after Dong Zhuo seized control of the government, he defiled her, though this is unreliable. However, the fact that she never married is recorded clearly.
The light of the silver shield flashed wildly a few times before finally fading away, returning to its original form.
The disciples shouted, "If you don't withdraw this magical power, we won't be able to survive! If this continues, we'll be scratched to death."
"If you go out now, you'll die! That old bastard is outside. Do you think he's any kinder than I am?" Nie Xia said incoherently through his bloodied, mangled mouth.
Along the way, he discovered something strange. After the energy burst in Guan Village, countless giant trees sprouted on the outskirts, but within the village, there were only ordinary plants, save for the old parasol tree.
"I believe you've already looked into this, but I should still introduce myself. My name is Ye Xiao. I am a handsome young man and a powerful warrior," Ye Xiao said.
After deploying the Heavenly Army, Zhao Ting rushed toward Leiguang City. Eager to engage the Demon Army, he marched at full speed without rest. Although they arrived at Leiguang City ahead of schedule, the majority of the army was utterly exhausted.
