Volume 1, Chapter 40: Mother-in-Law Is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World

Qin Yuan and Li Chiling had been at each other's throats the entire journey, clashing like fire and water. Xie Zheng had tried to mediate countless times, but to no avail.

She had wondered if she could simply stay out of it.

"No!"

Father Qi had truly struck her with the rod. This metal rod was unlike any other; it was specifically designed for punishment, equipped with an electric current that surged through the body upon impact, inflicting both physical and psychological agony.

At this stage, every warship was constantly receiving orders from commanders, which the operators then carried out in a continuous cycle.

The first-class cabin offered a wide array of food, much of it freshly prepared—there was even ham and freshly grilled steak. As for the fruit and vegetable salads, they could be assembled on the spot according to a passenger's request.

The wounded were carried to a designated medical area on the threshing floor to await treatment. The town’s only local physician and Su Zhe were in charge of this work. With insufficient medicinal supplies and limited resources, they could only prioritize those with the most severe injuries.

If one were to gain a favor from the Shaolin Temple—one of the seven great sects—and the enemy’s strength was merely average, one could even have the Shaolin Temple wipe the enemy out entirely.

Sensing an ambush, Pi Jianyuan instinctively glanced at Li Xiangfeng. As he flipped through the air, he swung his long-handled battle axe toward Li Xiangfeng. Li Xiangfeng saw the rapidly enlarging blade and parried with all his might using his sword. With another metallic clang, Li Xiangfeng was sent flying backward.

Yet, one had to admit, even if it were a "zoo," it was far more comfortable than Earth’s environment—infinitely more so.

Facing Yao Ling’s blade pointed at him in anger, the general could not help but feel a twinge of timidity, his feet hesitating to move forward.

Perhaps this was just a sucker willing to pay a premium to buy the child; they would consider it a windfall.

However, according to the people of Guishan, condensing Qi was like eating. While one might easily enjoy a fresh dish the first time, eating the same thing over a long period would eventually lead to a loss of interest.

Now, to speak to him so pointedly… it was no longer just a matter of being perceptive.

Liu Ming nodded. When he arrived downstairs, a bodyguard led him to have some blood drawn, and then they departed.

Because Yan Anzhi had his back to her, she could not see his expression, and thus could not guess whether his words were directed at Yan Jin or Master Yan Si.

This brought a sense of peace to Han Hyo-joo, who had always envied Yin Xian’s incredible speed in completing his makeup.

What was originally Sandra’s teasing turned into a scene of laughter, as Hugo and Leonardo’s candid responses filled the room with mirth, leaving Sandra looking rather glum herself.

A sharp glint flashed in his obsidian eyes. At that moment, a sense of urgency took hold of Meng Nan—an intense crisis born from the realization that his current strength was insufficient to control his own fate.

In truth, he had sensed that Li Shengnan’s emotions were off, so he vented his pent-up frustration on the restless spirits within the cave.

Standing before Yun Fei at this moment was a peerless enchantress, a woman who embodied a thousand charms and ten thousand styles. Even with his immense self-control, Yun Fei’s soul was utterly ensnared, leaving him staring at her in a daze.

Wang Dongsheng nodded, appearing to understand. He had heard that the soul was the source of life; without it, a person was merely a lifeless husk—in simple, blunt terms, a dead body.

Thus, seeing Yun Fei, who had reached the realm of an immortal, was like finding a straw to grasp at. Like a drowning man discovering a plank of wood drifting by, they snatched at the opportunity without a moment's hesitation, refusing to let go.
