Volume 1, Chapter 60: Give Me Back My Child

The next day.

Yu Jin and Xiao Jing were assigned to a six-person ward at the end of the corridor.

The space was cramped, with the six hospital beds almost touching head-to-toe, leaving only a narrow aisle in the middle.

Although it differed from the massive jade mine in his daydreams, it was still not bad; after all, it was an abandoned jade mine, and being able to unearth so much jade was already sheer luck.

Tang Luo muttered to himself, unable to suppress the fluttering in his heart, and picked up the white lace-trimmed bra.

In other words, if Madam Zhou had given birth to a child back then, that child would have already been four or five years old upon entering the Gu family.

Ever since arriving at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, it was the first time she had felt the warmth of the human world—a man who offered her care and concern regardless of her appearance.

After all, Yun Xuan was currently at a crucial juncture in breaking through to the Grandmaster realm. If anyone were to disturb him, all previous efforts would be wasted in an instant.

Perhaps because she had not been held in Yun Xuan's arms for a long time, Tan Xiang's delicate body involuntarily leaned closer and closer toward Yun Xuan's chest. As her beautiful eyes closed, a gentle, watery tenderness quietly surfaced on her exquisite face.

The car stopped at the entrance of the City Central Hospital. Gu Dong immediately pushed open the door and got out, slipped the phone he had been reading into his pocket, and strode toward the inpatient building.

After descending the stone steps, Yun Xuan and the others had been moving continuously through this tunnel. At first, they felt nothing unusual, but the further inward they went, the more they could feel a chilling, damp aura.

Dragging my exhausted body, I walked into the house without looking back. When I entered the living room and saw the person inside, I was instantly stunned.

I opened the gift, and when I saw it was a photo album inside, a flash of inspiration hit me, and I felt a surge of excitement.

Amidst the eerie laughter, that iron-gray, massive hand casually discarded the bloody, shredded flesh it was holding. Immediately following that, a thick, long arm suddenly burst out from the ground. The hand, its range of motion vastly expanded, instantly pursued the leaping body of the "Blood-Fierce Barbaric Ape" and charged forward to slaughter it.

Of course, Xiao Hua also knew that the sensory perceptions of the demon race and the human race were fundamentally vastly different. Therefore, he did not expect that after stepping into the Ultimate Realm, he would also experience such an unimaginable phenomenon. Yet he also knew that, overall, the sensory changes in the Ultimate Realm powerhouses of the three races should be relatively similar.

"Someone is always going to get hurt." Baimu was momentarily startled, his expression shifting uncertainly. After a long silence, he let out a long sigh and lowered his head.

Lately, the political struggles had grown increasingly fierce. The momentum of the Donglin officials' impeachment of Wei Zhongxian was swelling larger and larger. However, apart from initially rebuking Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, the Emperor had remained silent over the past two months, bringing the entire situation to a standstill.

This time, without waiting for Huang Donglai to speak, Chen Qingniu—who had been covertly channeling and gathering vital Qi while making small talk—once again manipulated his flying sword. Wielding both hands with the "Thundering Blast" sword stance, incredibly skillful and of astonishing momentum, he bore straight down upon Zhou Ya's father.

However, anxious as she was, Yang Jinzhen could not let such thoughts show too overtly. If Bai Guoming were to discover their intentions, all their previous efforts would be completely wasted.

Lin Xun touched his nose, suddenly realizing that this feeling of judging their relationship without needing to give an explicit reply was actually not bad.

: It is said that recently someone has been impersonating Flame to borrow money from everyone. Please do not believe it. If anyone is targeted by the scammers, please let me know immediately. I will never borrow money from anyone. Scammers are everywhere; what a cliché script.

At this moment, Fang Chuanwu once again brought up the ancient customs and folkways of Heluo. Fang Xing caught the underlying meaning behind his words and immediately perked up, thinking to himself: "First it was enticement with profit, and now they are going to appeal to emotion, right?" Hearing this, he straightened his expression, put away the smile on his face, and turned solemn.
