Chapter 37: Saving a Life
With the Primordial Spirit Pill in hand, Hua Changxi devoted most of her energy to elevating her cultivation level. To her dormitory roommates, she appeared to be doing nothing but sleeping, save for the hour or so she spent each morning cleaning medicinal herbs.
Time slipped by, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Hua Changxi submitted her cleaned herbs to the Second Bureau as usual and prepared to return to her room for cultivation. While passing by the irrigation ditch, she noticed that the handymen of the Sixth Bureau had all set down their tools.
The dust from the bricks and mortar of the collapsed building still hung heavy in the air, swirling in the sky. People were huddled together, whispering and debating the event.
Regarding this issue, Chu Zhen intended to keep a low profile; after all, even his master, a Grandmaster of Gang Qi, could not discern his true cultivation level.
Chu Mu frowned as he looked at Tiger Soul, stunned to see, for the first time, Mo Xie losing the upper hand in a battle between peers.
Relatively speaking, aside from a few cities like the Magic Capital and Guangzhou, only the foreign concessions in Tianjin offered such rare items for sale.
Entrusted with this important task, Yan Mei'er felt her eyes grow moist. Overcome with emotion and choking on her words, she could not speak. She and Old Man Hu had seen wealth before, but no one had ever shown them such respect or entrusted them with such responsibility. Hearing these instructions from Qingqing, she felt she would gladly sacrifice her life to repay the favor. Words caught in her throat, and as she began to speak, tears welled up, leaving her with no choice but to nod repeatedly.
Then, Tar had a sudden whim. "Andre, why don't you test your clansmen? See if she has truly awakened, or if she has simply become infatuated because she covets your appearance." He could not help but burst into loud laughter.
Back then, Gao Jianwu had pulled out all the stops, revealing nearly all his assets to conquer Colonel Smith with sheer strength. The results of that effort were now becoming apparent.
Li Guohua felt a bit awkward. In the eyes of the vain, this was indeed very beautiful, and it would not be a surprise if people whispered behind his back that he was a man of style.
Nurse Li cast a glance at her. Because she had acquaintances here, she had been assigned to the B-zone service area. The patients there were all self-sufficient, requiring no extra care; she only needed to maintain her own defenses to avoid infection. Not only was the work easy, but the pay was also generous.
"Wait! No! I don't care how you cheated to win, but you must let me pose another question, right? Don't you agree, Chu Tian?"
To facilitate the recording, the hotel where Lin Huanle and Lei Lei stayed was located near the Giant Wave Music Company.
Wang Qingyue and the others followed immediately, but Hu Weixin and Liu Yiyi could not keep up. With no other choice, they decided that Du Lu would go ahead first to mark the path, while the others followed slowly behind.
The victor did not leave the stage. With a fierce expression, he paced back and forth, waiting for the next challenger to arrive.
Because there were shrubs and dwarf trees, Changsun Hong could not see them, yet they could clearly see him.
They had long suspected that Kan Dahai had come prepared, and now, hearing his words, it was further proof that Xia Haoxuan had also come with a plan.
Upon hearing this, Murong Qin’s eyes shone with a radiant light. She sat carelessly before Ye Lin and wrapped her arms around his, her two large, soft mounds pressing against him, stirring his wandering thoughts.
She had wanted to wait for her eldest sister to return, but the child’s body was naturally prone to sleep. Now that she was in a period of growth, she was even more inclined to doze off.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw Lin Leshuang wipe away her tears with a handkerchief and exchange a subtle glance, causing Xia Ji to stop in her tracks, acting with quick intuition.
Mu Qingqing tilted her head slightly; being naturally beautiful, her smile was enough to leave one spellbound, and Zhao Ziyu was left completely dazed by the sight.
"For these past three years, I have been searching for you, yet she knew everything and never uttered a single word." His expression suddenly turned grave, solemn, and sharp. Her flight had always been a scar on his heart that struggled to heal.
"I am not making a scene. Chenchen is my son; why should he call Rong Zhenye 'Daddy'?" Rong Zhentuo let out a low snort.
Today, Yun Niang was cooking, and she had prepared a table full of delicious dishes! Everyone in the room ate with great delight, especially Gou Dan, who couldn't stop praising the food. The compliments spilled from his lips as if they cost nothing, leaving no doubt that he wanted to come over for a free meal every single day.
