Chapter 29: Acceptable, but It Will Cost You Extra
"What is going on? Su Qianxue, you are the child's mother, not a poison master. It has only been a few days, and Huanhuan has had two allergic reactions. What are you playing at?"
"Chen Xing... are you blaming me!"
"Huanhuan is under my care now. How I raise the child is none of your concern..."
Nangong Yiwen was not disappointed; he understood Gu Wangqian's meaning. In the current situation, this was undoubtedly the best strategy.
Cui Ziyan was right—there was no contractual relationship between them. He could leave whenever he wanted.
After Wen Jingxian entered, Jing Yuanhua and Dong Anting went up to greet her. Jing Yuanhua was the first to call out, "Aunt!" Dong Anting followed with the same address, though her tone was somewhat detached, even haughty. However, Dong Anting had always held herself in high regard, so it did not sound much different from usual.
Leng Xuanbing also tightened his expression, shielding Mu Wuyou behind him. Although he knew their martial strength was no match for Dongfang Fengfei, he had no intention of surrendering without a fight.
Helian Xuanyu found Feng Linglong immediately—of course, it took no effort at all, as she had gone nowhere and was still kneeling at the gate of the Feng residence.
She felt that if it weren't for Feng Linglong’s appearance, she would not have lost everything she was so proud of. She would still be that nine-day fairy admired by all, and Helian Xuanyu would still be smiling gently at her.
Except for the jade pendant of Dongfang Fengfei, which had an omnipotent concealment function, the main talismans of Dongfang Muran and the others could only mask their cultivation levels, so their true ages could still be discerned.
Some people lack talent, and the reason they are unable to advance is simply that their comprehension is insufficient; they are unable to grasp the methods required for advancement.
"Mother, shouldn't Qingyang learn to feed himself?" Mu Xinwan looked at Mu Qingyang, who was already over two years old and still needed someone to feed him; it was truly too indulgent.
Aunt Fang was stunned. She turned her face to look at her, observing her somewhat arrogant expression, but said nothing, instead glancing at Nanny Liu nearby.
He wore a gentle smile that showed no hint of falsehood, as if he had truly admired Lin Xiao for a long time.
Afterward, under the guidance of the old monk, Kong Yue learned acupuncture. Different ailments required different acupoints and different techniques; these were things that had to be memorized by heart. Fortunately, Kong Yue was proficient in cotton-palm acupoint striking, so he naturally grasped the acupoints clearly, making his study of acupuncture twice as effective with half the effort.
Xie Fei, who had never taught a child before, used every skill in his repertoire. No matter how bad a child was, there was always a longing for justice deep in his heart, and step-by-step guidance was crucial.
Gu Xiangtian naturally understood what Kong Yue wanted to do. The wealthier the gang leader became, the happier he was, and he was particularly willing to run errands, happily setting out to inquire and search.
At this moment, the three people hiding behind the tree did not dare to even breathe loudly, and Zilan even channeled her inner energy to conceal their presence.
The words were a bit sharp, but still showed concern for Xiuzhu. However, Xiuzhu sensed something different; he was naturally fearful of his master and quickly excused himself.
"Who is the blind fool who dared to bump into me!" Lingjiao cursed while holding her waist, struggling to climb up. Only then did she notice that her purse was missing and her silver had spilled out; she hurriedly picked it up and hid it in her sleeve.
She had an impression of this Doctor Zhang. When she first opened her clinic, this person had come around sneakingly a few times. Later, when she became famous and many people came seeking her, it had invisibly stolen his business.
This was also the reason why, despite Zhou Yun's immense physical strength, he remained thin.
Children born into the household were different from servants bought from outside. These household-born servants usually relied on the master's family for generations and rarely caused trouble. The Si residence was considered strictly disciplined, and these people were even more sensible.
After a long while, his mind became increasingly clear. Looking at the bandage on his hand, he figured it must have been Aunt Xiao who helped him dress it. This reminded him of that time when he was also dead drunk and injured his foot; it was Qianqian who took him to the hospital. Actually, she was very kind, caring so much even for someone she hated. He hoped she would treat him as she did when they first met.
"Why did you take out this Qiankun bag?" The man in black recognized it as a Qiankun bag at a glance, but he was not particularly surprised. The old man smiled and said, "It naturally has its uses." Having said that, he opened the bag, and the Shadow Vanguard "swished" out from inside.
Li Shimin actually hoped to take Goguryeo without shedding blood; after all, there were millions of people there.
Just as she was at her most comfortable and about to reach the peak, the man suddenly "stalled."
Liu Mu explaining this to Xie Xing'er could be considered a rehearsal for his lecture to the fifteen county magistrates tomorrow.
After breakfast, Xue Meng first took Langbao to the room. Xiling Jing followed closely behind, both returning to their rooms to sleep.
His mother's illness became increasingly severe, and in the end, no medicine could save her; she died of depression. He was only 7 years old that year, losing a mother's love. Therefore, Xiaoluo meant almost everything to him—she was someone he was willing to risk his life to cherish. But this cherished bond was destroyed by her, and his world seemed to collapse all at once.
Glancing at her with cool indifference, Xiling Jing dodged her leaning body, walked to the side of the door, and ignored her, preparing to continue on his way.
After ripening the remaining fruit, Xue Meng let Zhao Caiying take one for her mother and told her to eat one herself.
He smiled at her in a very friendly way, and then they each closed their laptops, left the cafe, and sent her to the hotel entrance to catch a taxi.
However, shaking off the "door-faced" person behind him should still be more than enough. Although the absolute strength of the Heavenly Sword was not yet high, the speed advantage had already been initially established. While it might be inferior to those masters at the Mountain-Crushing Realm, it was sufficient against a novice who had just advanced to the Cloud-Surging Realm and whose divine sense had not yet fully condensed into a primordial spirit.
When Jiang Han walked closer, these animals remained motionless, squatting where they were. Just as Jiang Han was about to raise his hand to disperse them, blood flowed from the mouths of all the animals, and then their heads all rolled off simultaneously, landing to the side.
Although Zhao Jincheng had tried his best to suppress the Time-Space Moon Shadow Array as soon as he realized the problem, this immense power had far exceeded the limits of his control.
Seeing that his words had offended almost everyone present, Yu Hu instantly raised his hand and lightly slapped himself in the face.
