Volume 1, Chapter 38: The Miraculous Efficacy of the Medicine!
Dr. Hu waved at the men beside him, and they swarmed forward, pinning the man down. The nurse retrieved a bottle from the tray, inserted a syringe, and drew out the liquid inside.
She then walked over, step by step. Zhou Yu had never encountered such a situation; he kept shaking his head, crying out, "Don't come any closer!"
The young nurse plunged the needle firmly into his buttock. The experiences of the past few hours had caused her to question her own professional integrity. Why was she working this miserable job, enduring such disdain? And all of this was caused by this man, so naturally, she was settling old scores and new grievances. Zhou Yu only felt...
For a full hour, no news emerged from the main palace. Everyone only knew that the Imperial Noble Consort had been frightened and the Emperor was furious.
Free as a gust of wind, dazzling as the midday sun, he infected everyone around him with his passion and kindness at all times.
These two young men in white, having been rebuffed, used some sort of spell; without moving from their spots, their figures gradually merged with the surrounding light until they vanished as if they had never been there.
However, the more joyfully they frolicked outside, the more strictly Bai Yu would quarantine them upon their return. They had to be scrubbed, bathed, and sunned. Because some bacteria that entered their bodies had incubation periods.
But that was still a matter of uncertainty. If they truly could not suppress the Western Qiang, it was not impossible that we might become friends.
"However, I did not summon you here today to discuss these matters." Because, from the moment he learned the truth, he would be tormented by his own remorse for a lifetime, regardless of any punishment.
The man negotiated with the old man, claiming he ran a restaurant and needed many knives; if he tried the old man's blades and they were good, he would return to buy more. But no matter what he said, the old man refused to extend credit, and the man left helplessly.
"I have not neglected the children these past three years; whenever I have time, I naturally accompany and care for my husband and children. But my focus remains on my work. A-Yu, my energy and ability are limited; I cannot manage both like you can."
Clearly, the Chaos Tree knew something. This tree must have had restrictions placed upon it by a mysterious individual, creating a dual barrier on its exterior that shielded it from divine and soul senses—it was extremely powerful. Otherwise, Long Fei’s soul sense would not have been misled, leaving him unable to perceive the secrets within.
"Zhen Yinjian, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death!" He Chen roared at the sky, his voice like the howl of a beast, conveying deep-seated hatred.
Yet, no matter how he attacked, Su Qi dodged his advances with ease, without even moving much.
A second later, He Chenglin regained his mobility. After observing the situation, he decisively snatched the gun from the thug in front of him and leaped to kick the weapon away from the other thug.
Looking at it this way, Wu Fen had clearly shown a great deal of mercy to his elder imperial brother just moments ago.
At this moment, all the envoys, including Fan Ju, were thinking that this was truly a foolish ruler and that this State of Zhao was not to be feared.
Furthermore, she had just learned that Liu Xuan did not mind her identity at all; even if she were only a mermaid, Liu Xuan was still willing to be with her.
The panda also sensed its father's anxiety. It was filled with rage and kept trying to jump up, using its golden horns to butt Wu Zi’s backside, just as it did when dealing with the Black Demon.
Much like the Bull Demon King in the original trajectory, it took a large force from the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling, combined with the containment of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng, along with the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King’s Demon-Revealing Mirror and Nezha’s Demon-Slaying Sword—all treasures specifically crafted to counter the demon race—to finally subdue him.
Ning Que felt as if he were standing naked in front of Ye Zhichiu, with no privacy whatsoever.
However, just as he turned around, he saw Su Qi standing before him. This discovery nearly caused him to collapse completely.
Of the two, the Drunkard was in a realm beyond distance and measure, while the Butcher possessed the strongest physical body in the world. It was precisely because of their strength that they had survived the previous catastrophe of the Evernight.
Geno extended his sturdy arm, easily grabbed Princess Zhenbai by the collar, and lifted her up.
More than five thousand years ago, that great war between star clusters also ignited the flames of battle within the Earth and the Solar True Realm.
In recent years, because his father Peleus was aged, he no longer intervened in many affairs of the kingdom, leading the nobles to seize part of the power that belonged to the King.
He Wu narrowed his eyes: "I will be careful." Yet, in his heart, he sighed softly: It seems I must hurry to rescue the nineteenth sister and obtain the clan's bloodline. Only by using ferocity to overcome ferocity can this be managed; otherwise, it is truly possible.
Just as the army arrived near Hanzhong, scouts reported that Zhou Yu’s hundred-thousand-strong force was less than two hundred miles away.
The eighty-mile distance was covered by Cao Hong’s army by nightfall, thanks to his forced march. Upon arriving and ordering the camp to be set up, Cao Hong discovered an unusual phenomenon.
He guessed it was the work of that person and watched the chaos outside the window with a playful smile, possessing the sensation of a superior looking down upon the fleeting lives of others.
"Safe travels. I won't see you off." The remark from behind nearly caused Cao Ren, an expert in horsemanship, to fall from his horse. Seething with anger, Cao Ren returned to his ranks. He immediately ordered all soldiers to return to their posts, to eat, and to rest. Cao Ren himself removed his helmet and armor, preparing to take a rest.
If Idomeneus and that underworld demigod began their duel, even if Achilles were to save Idomeneus during the fight, Idomeneus would likely not appreciate it and might even be annoyed by Achilles' meddling.
Once the pontoon bridge was completed, the river-crossing operation officially began. Under the orders of the Fifth Group Army Commander, Lu Xueyi, the armored troops crossed the river first to head north, followed by the motorized infantry division, artillery division, and anti-aircraft brigade.
Ye Zhihua shook her head: "Donglin City is so vast, with all sorts of people from various walks of life. No matter how small the matter, it is never easy for anyone to manage."
As the leader of the Shashui Palace, Yu Dong'er could not avoid her responsibilities and had already left the mountain. She told Mi Dou to go find her senior sisters in the palace to play and not to run around wildly like yesterday, which had kept her in a state of panic for most of the day.
Ye Bai did not pursue; instead, he flicked his finger, and a ball of flame drifted out. Cang Yao’s figure slowed by a beat, and the fire emerged from his body, followed by the soul of a wolf.
The Liufang sisters did not know what to say, feeling only pity for Xiao Nu. They even felt that although Xiao Nu would fail in his challenge at the Divine Emperor Arena, at least he would be able to preserve his life and not fall into the hands of the Young Master of the Three Whites to become a demon puppet; to him, this could be considered the greatest stroke of fortune in a misfortune.
