Chapter 49: Little Medical Immortal Awakens

“I am, I am.” Lu Qifeng took the list, glanced anxiously at Mili, and without a word, headed straight for the lobby.

It was like his own child; the parents lacked money to provide a good life, so the child had to resort to a dark path just to survive.

Lu Shaoyou narrowed his eyes, feeling uneasy. He hadn’t expected Bai Jinmu to stubbornly resist him to the very end, refusing to respond no matter what he discovered.

Hearing the old fox speak, Bai Jinmu inwardly scoffed. If it’s nothing serious, then why call me down in the middle of the night? She rolled her eyes silently but maintained a calm expression, smiling politely as she listened to Lu’s father’s follow-up words.

Though she had no proof, she just felt he harbored deep hostility toward her. Could it be solely because she had harmed his wife?

Shi Yuchu ultimately followed Qin Haonan to their dining spot but did not stay for the meal.

Upon reaching her side, amidst Mu Wan’an’s doubtful gaze, she gently draped an arm over her shoulder and whispered something in her ear.

As Yan Lei finished speaking, he saw Tang Qiansu rushing anxiously toward the west gate, moving even faster than himself.

Shi Yuchu lifted her eyes, peering through the car window into the distance, but the dazzling headlights made it impossible to see the vehicle clearly.

Mili scrambled up from the floor, slipped on her slippers, turned off the power, and only then remembered that the new duvet and sheets hadn’t been laid out.

I, Baili Tianchang, solemnly promise to all the members of your Beast Legion that I will never forcibly bind any contracts upon you.

Suppressing her embarrassment, Xia Yulin lifted her chin and linked arms with She Wei like a princess as they entered.

After careful sensing, Chen Guang felt that within this white mist seemed to exist a substance beneficial to him, a faint, wondrous energy flowing into his body.

Mu Wanfeng recalled the time she saw him passing by here yesterday afternoon and quickly realized he would pass again that afternoon, so she waited by the door early to meet him.

During the fierce fight between the two, Dao Wu Xiao dared not come closer at all, fearing being caught in the crossfire. If he were harmed even slightly, it would be a fate worse than death.

Mr. Chen shut the door again and made me spend ten minutes washing my hair and face with every bucket of water. I tried green water, black water, and ordinary water for each, washing my face and head repeatedly. The result was obvious—my handsome face turned pitch black, darker than Bao Qingtian’s, practically a ghostly mask.

“Sister-in-law, I told you it’s dangerous outside!” Mo Lingfeng’s sharp eyes caught someone sneaking out from behind, and he promptly lifted her up and threw her into the carriage again.

Before he finished speaking, a cold sneer spread across Feng Yexing’s face. As expected, after the emperor’s death, his true colors had emerged! Once seemingly devoted to the Northern Peak, the crown prince was nothing but a debauched man; yet to claim the throne, he had painstakingly played the part for years.

From the city gates to the town—a long stretch of over twenty li—countless nobles with guards waited outside, eager to enter or gather news from inside the city and palace. But the gates remained closed, leaving them helpless.

She thought after such events, returning to the Heavenly Kingdom, her imperial brother wouldn’t let her marry into that barbaric tribe. But unexpectedly, the tribal chief sent envoys to the Heavenly Kingdom. Though they didn’t explicitly say she must marry there, for the sake of good relations, her brother once again sent her off in marriage.

Still, she obediently carried her weapon and blended in with the howling disciples, becoming one of them.

Lu Lin said he wouldn’t return this year; he was helping a senior at school with a crucial project and couldn’t leave.

Once everything was arranged, Feng Jiuyue smoothed her sleeves, calm and composed, stepped out from the shadows, and strode toward the main gate of the Demon Palace.

This time, however, it was the devouring of the true spirits within the Investiture List that caused a leap in soul power and triggered her sudden awakening.

Beside her, Kong Jian’s body moved without wind, translucent lotus flowers faintly drifting in the air. His fingers floated lightly, as if ready to strike at any moment.

“Brother Wei’s swordsmanship is indeed formidable.” After a brief test, Li Yu had already grasped Wei Wuzhu’s current skill level. He guessed correctly; in terms of swordsmanship, they were nearly equal.

Though called a mountain, this place was really a vast sand dune, towering as high as several dozen stories, with sheer sand cliffs, thus earning the name.

Yet somehow, Jiang Yun was filled with joy, finally seeing a path forward. Otherwise, she might have to gamble on luck, hoping someday to cross back into the world of “Dating with Zombies.”

Wu Xiuli was stunned upon hearing this. She hadn’t expected her son to be unemployed. A few days ago when he asked, he said things were fine. Was he lying, or had something else happened?

“Looks like among the young generation of the Shanhé Tiānxià, there’s a new member reaching the Unwavering Profound Realm!” Chen San squinted with a smile.

“If you still refuse to confess, I will represent the Spirit Sect and erase you from this world!” Yang Tian’s voice was sinister as he glanced at Su Yue, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
