Chapter 40: The Old Lady's Discontent

People always say that elderly people become just like children, and Wei Guoxiong has finally learned this firsthand.

It was clearly impossible to have Lou Nanzhi come back to make porridge for her right now, yet his mother could not even bring herself to grudgingly drink something else.

Instead, she threw a little temper tantrum, resisting by refusing to eat. How could Wei Guoxiong possibly have so much leisure time to stay in the hospital with an old lady all day long!

Wei Guoxiong let out a deep sigh. Why couldn't his own mother try to understand him a bit!

"I'm going to the supermarket downstairs to buy a thermal lunch box and get some porridge while I'm at it. A hospital isn't like home; people stop selling food there once the mealtime passes!"

Without waiting for any response from Song Ying, Wei Guoxiong stood up and walked out of the ward...

At this moment, within Agni's perception, hazy light and shadow emerged. The Wish-Fulfilling Divine Tree flickered with a faint golden radiance, appearing sacred and beautiful.

Wang Lu ignored her, took out her phone, found a contact saved as "Uncle-in-law," and made the call.

Lin Chushuang was still busy in the kitchen, her movements practiced and deeply focused, as if all these external conflicts had nothing to do with her.

After acquiring a sufficient amount of "investments," the swindler fled with the funds to Mondstadt before anyone could react.

Yang Qianqian was so furious that she tore her resignation letter to shreds and smashed several objects before her emotions subsided.

Xing Daosi was not as agile; he took a slash to his arm and another to his thigh. The wound on his leg was just a superficial injury, but the hidden weapon on his arm caused him to groan in pain repeatedly.

Forget it. Lin Chushuang shook her head and hurriedly returned to the kitchen to prepare the single-serving Mind-Soothing and Spirit-Calming Soup.

Liu Yun was holding her bundle and wanted to ask how much this information cost, only to watch as Shi Tou's figure had already run far away.

Dvalin lowered his head, bit off a feather, and gently placed it in Venti's hand. The next moment, a pale cyan, transparent barrier with a radius of about five meters suddenly appeared, enveloping Venti within it.

"Really?" Everyone was pleasantly surprised, but as they looked at the towering peaks, the joy on their faces turned back into sorrow.

Throughout the entire night, she did not sleep a wink, consumed by overwhelming anxiety. Several times she tossed and turned, wanting to get out of bed and go to the hospital to check on the child, but each time her husband gently stopped her.

Videos of Yin Shixiu trafficking drugs were spreading wildly across the internet, which inevitably had an impact on the Yin family. Coupled with the fact that the cause of Yin Shixiu's death remained unknown to this day, the police had yet to provide a reasonable explanation.

Xu Wen felt a surge of anger. This Lu Honghu truly believed she could play him in the palm of her hand. If he didn't teach her a lesson, he would probably have to guard against her schemes and tricks all the way along this journey.

Even those who dazzled an entire era could not escape the erosion of time. To break free, one must ascend toward higher realms.

Only then did Wang Du's expression change drastically. From her expressions and words, he finally understood that Hua Xingcan was truly and sincerely rejecting him.

Eventually, Zhao Hong had no choice but to lead these soldiers to capture Wancheng. Yet this state of affairs did not last long before it was shattered by the government forces led by Zhao Yi.

The morning rush hour had not yet arrived in the city. The shadows of night gradually receded, and in the morning light, towering skyscrapers stood row upon row, revealing the city's silhouette.

At this moment, both of them were in tattered clothes and covered in blood, making it impossible to tell whose blood it really was.

Two vibrant bodies radiated the allure of temptation. Ning Shuiyue narrowed her eyes dangerously, well aware she was losing her composure, yet unable to bear letting go, wishing only to press deeper.

The official website of the Republic of Korea was hacked once again, with Chinese, English, and Korean appearing simultaneously at the top of the screen.

That was a pair of scarlet eyes, gazing at him peacefully. The instant he saw these eyes, the old man's consciousness completely succumbed.

Hearing Fang Ming say this, what else could Li Xiao do except nod in agreement? Besides, he had nothing else to do right now.

"How do you know? Could it be that you also possess the formula for the Mind-Clearing Pill?" Muchen asked with a gloomy expression.

"Let's hear it." Ye Liushang wore a concerned look. The clues were still somewhat chaotic; he needed a breakthrough to verify his various suspicions.

Beside him, Sato Miho felt the tangible, bone-chilling killing intent emanating from him, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Ma Dong directly took it and slipped the combat spy onto his arm, since the combat spy outwardly resembled a mere bracelet.

Dongmei nodded and said, "I recognize him; he is the cousin-young master of the Feng family." Having said that, she hesitated no longer, walked in to place the tray on the table, and curtsied gracefully to Xi Feng.

Behind him, a spatial black hole opened silently. Lin Chuan's figure quietly stepped out from it. There were no spiritual fluctuations around him as his pair of scarlet eyes calmly stared at the old man before him.

At night, when a faint aroma of roasted meat drifted in from outside the window, sweeping through with the spiritual perception of the Shattered Realm, he discovered that Ye Chuan had somehow caught a wild chicken and was roasting it outside the main hall, filling the air with a savory fragrance.

Tomorrow, they wanted to see how he would make the dignified Mo family kneel before him in filial obedience.

Yet Alkerna did not find him arrogant. From beginning to end, Andres's tone lacked the slightest trace of haughtiness; he spoke as if stating a matter of course, leaving no room in anyone's heart to raise a rebuttal.

Road conditions in this era were exceptionally poor, lacking any paved asphalt. To have a reasonably level yellow clay road was already considered a blessing, and this was merely a main official road; other paths could only be imagined.

To put it bluntly, she was trading her own life to save her father's. When she died within this timeline, she would likewise die within Chen Feng's timeline.

Ever since its founding, the Sons of Korhal had been defined by a continuous cycle of warfare. It had been so in the past, and naturally it was so now! If these incoming recruits could not understand this, they were not qualified to become members of the Sons of Korhal.

Only when one's physical constitution was sufficiently formidable, pushing external martial arts to the absolute limit and capable of lifting at least five hundred pounds with a single arm, could one begin to study internal martial arts and master internal strength.

Her dissatisfaction was entirely understandable. Think about it: diplomatic visits between nations were not like just strolling out for a casual walk, free to do whatever one pleased.

Although the materials of these three magical-guidance equipment pieces were quite good, they were not quite of the top tier, yet their grades were clearly higher than the three pieces Olei had crafted himself.

The twelve-grade lotus platform, a supreme treasure possessing immense power since primordial times—if it were to fall into his hands, wouldn't that be sheer bliss?

The opponent accidentally fell from their horse. Normally, with the Second Young Master's cultivation level, nothing should have gone wrong at all.

A calm and serene voice echoed, and the Void True Monarch, who had fallen into the tribulation of the Daoist heart, silently sank into the divine scroll.

White Fang's outstretched hand paused slightly, and instead, he picked up a piece of the dish placed before him. "Any clues?" He popped it into his mouth and bit down—it was crispy, crunchy, fresh, and juicy.
