Volume 1, Chapter 59: Surgery Notice

Yu Jin's mind buzzed. Ever since she brought little Jing back, one thing after another had piled up relentlessly.

For some reason, a stinging sensation rose in the bridge of her nose. She felt like she was about to collapse under the weight, but she had to hold on. She was little Jing's mother, the only person little Jing could depend on.

Subconsciously, she tightened her embrace around the child.

"I... I hear you clearly."

Yu Jin forced herself to calm down. Her voice remained unsteady, yet her words were clear and logical.

As the light grew stronger again, Ling Ran slowly lowered the hand covering her eyes. She opened them, only to be met with a figure that seemed to have stepped straight out of the depths of hell.

Having narrowly averted disaster, the supervising magistrate finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness all three heads had been successfully collected so he could return and fulfill his duty. With one hand, he ordered his men to properly pack away the heads; with the other, he bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Yuan Tai before hastily leading the Ministry of Justice guards back to the yamen.

This ranking list was controlled by the most authoritative editors. For a newcomer to make it onto this list was practically a guarantee of rising to divine status, yet the difficulty of ascending it was exceptionally high.

Originally, the entire progression bar was supposed to last nine months. However, because the host had transformed into a divine descendant, her physical body engaged in a profound suppression and resistance, causing the gestation period to stretch even longer. Consequently, it took Mei Mengxi over a year and a half after waking up to complete the physical incarnation, unlocking the heaven-defying skill of a corporeal clone.

Wen Lushuan slowly curved the corners of his lips into a smile. "The Grand Commandant wants you to make a trip to the Ge residence." With that, Wen Lushuan produced a letter and handed it to Zhang Zhongping.

Yangzi followed closely behind the master and hurriedly said, "Yes, right here is fine, right here." With that, Yangzi began pacing in circles around Master Xuanqing once more.

Li Ruolan, Liu Bingbing, Angela... Furthermore, each of them was remarkably exceptional, possessing both stunning beauty and substance, completely shattering some brainless and distorted misconceptions.

Students like Liu Nanfei at the academy had managed to escape disaster, but some children were left as orphans. As for where their futures lay, that was a separate matter and would not be elaborated upon here.

"What on earth are you crying for? Your parents aren't dead yet! If Madam Yuan doesn't want to see bloodshed, she should obediently come with us. We have no intention of making things difficult for you or your family," Black Fiend Wind said impatiently as he watched Madam Yuan weep endlessly.

He poured the entire large bowl of blood directly into the previously prepared bamboo-tube syringe, skimmed off the bloody foam, and picked up the thick needle, which was nearly two to three millimeters wide. He drove it straight through the veins on the fellow's arm and began pumping the blood inside.

Li Qingxun's expression shifted slightly, but matters had progressed to this point, leaving him with no retreat whatsoever.

Hearing this, Ding Zhen was startled. Rolling his eyes, he figured that Lan Yu was certainly not the petty or sneaky sort; he must have been hiding from some danger. Common sense dictated that he should immediately reply with a crisp "Yes, sir!"

"Where are your people?" Everyone was resting on the lawn. Ye Zhen realized that this was not a suitable time to rest. What if that massive 'rat' suddenly emerged? Wouldn't that ruin everything?

"I don't have a father! But that doesn't mean I lack upbringing. What right do you have to hurl insults? So what if I don't have a father?! Can a father be eaten as a meal? Give me another chance and I'd still hit him!" The boy gritted his teeth in anger, speaking with profound sorrow because he truly did not know what a "father" was. He was angry, and he hated.

Mentioning this plunged everyone into a heavy silence, as if the realization of imminent death and helplessness reduced everything to a profound stillness.

Watching them all depart, Adair turned his gaze back to Angela. Instantly, Angela felt the return of that bizarre atmosphere from earlier between the two of them, and she quickly spoke up to change the subject.

The interior of the cafe was exceptionally quiet at the moment. Most of the patrons were couples; while it was a wonderful spot for a date, it was naturally also an ideal venue for blind dates.

He was deliberately hazarding a guess, wanting to see if he had grasped the true crux of the matter. If he had, he might actually succeed in unearthing the Underworld organization this time.
