Chapter 29: She Has a Fever

During their meal, Ning Lu began sneezing more frequently, and her runny nose became difficult to control. Lu Hongyu looked at the pile of used tissues covering the table and worried that if they stayed any longer, she would fall ill. He sped up the conclusion of their dinner, settled the bill, and took Ning Lu back to the hotel. As soon as they were seated and the driver pulled away, Lu Hongyu pulled out two tissues and handed them to her.

...

Zhang Ruyun suddenly realized he had spoken too harshly and intended to offer some words of comfort, but noticing a mist rising from the skeleton on the ground, he feared a demonic transformation and turned his attention to carefully examine the changes in the bones.

The following day, the funeral was held at the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace. The late emperor was posthumously honored as the Emperor Zhide Dasheng Da'an Xiao, interred at Fengling Mausoleum, and given the temple name Shun Zong. The Empress Dowager Wang was elevated to the status of Grand Empress Dowager, and all the consorts of the former emperors in Xingqing Palace were redesignated as Grand Consorts.

With the soul power dissipated, she appeared quite delicate and refined, yet that innate fox-like allure was something that not even a dip in the Endless Sea could wash away.

Qiulongzi had been a close friend of his for many years. Though they were now as bitter as deep-sea enemies, when the moment finally came to strike him down, he hesitated for a long time. In the end, he closed his eyes, and the white light that had been suspended in the air for so long plummeted toward Yin Tianchou’s head.

Just then, a cannon roared. The incoming shell exploded outside the tent, nearly flipping the brigade headquarters. The telephone in Mogi’s hand and the headset in Umei’s hand both fell to the floor.

At the same time, he extended his right hand and caught the bullet Qin Yibai had fired. However, his face turned deathly pale as he spun around in a panic, staring at Young Master Qi behind him with eyes filled with absolute terror.

Director Han exchanged a look with Deputy Battalion Commander Wang. "It certainly isn't the Japanese," Director Han said. "The Japanese don't dress like that; they are much more disciplined."

Sun Yaoyang, in particular, felt that after he had delivered such a long speech, the lines he had prepared for the follow-up were left stuck in his throat because no one had picked up the conversation.

Yinniang calculated the time and observed Zhang Ruyun’s complexion. Knowing the moment was perfect, she decided not to delay; any further hesitation, allowing those poisonous insects to remain in his abdomen, would be detrimental to his health. Without further ado, she went to the outer room to retrieve a chamber pot for him, then stepped out of the room.

In a sealed land like Fan'an, such a thing should have been impossible, yet it was happening right before its eyes.

But I do not know if he would be as deranged as him, killing to save others. I am not sure, nor do I dare to imagine it.

When the onlookers at the manor gate heard that the young man in white before them was Mr. Yang, their legs went weak, and they nearly collapsed to their knees.

"Yes, Young Master Wu, this gentleman would like two pieces." The salesperson placed the two pre-packaged pieces of jewelry on the counter.

However, Granny Skeleton and Shi Xuan remained indifferent; after all, there was no one left who had any connection to them, so even if there were repercussions, they would not be affected.

Furthermore, her pale complexion gradually regained its color, and her weak heartbeat began to thrum with vigor.

However, humans possess greater plasticity than the gods, demons, or beasts. Although one must reach the Immortal Emperor realm to comprehend supernatural powers, humans are capable of mastering far more of them.

If it is merely cosmic information, then how am I to change the rules and defeat Yalina?

Once the true body is revealed, it means the trump cards are being played. Old Dog once said that if the two of them continued to fight like that, it would take a very long time to determine a victor.

Everyone knows the terror of a mage who can cast a magical barrier. In the Western Continent, when the ancestors of the various races first carved out their habitats, mages capable of generating such barriers were extremely rare.

The people around were shocked by Ao Shennong’s humble attitude, but what they failed to understand was the heaven-defying significance of such a Shennong Ruler to the Medicine Clan, who had spent generations dealing with spiritual herbs and divine elixirs.

Lin Yang finally understood why there had been so few Supreme Holy Swords in the Heavenly Domain for such a long time, and he understood why that Zhang Tianfang was so arrogant.
