Chapter 46: Marrying Qi Rui

Hearing the knock on the door, Wen Li wanted to cry out for help, but Qi Rui clamped a hand over her mouth, pinning her arms behind her and forcing her hard against the nearby shelf.

The village head let out a faint sigh, never expecting things to come to such a pass. Yet, as long as there remained a glimmer of hope for redemption, he still wished the newlywed couple would not resort to a formal separation.

"Yes, exactly, arsenic was added. Therefore, I suspect the old herbalist added arsenic as well, and in a very large dose. While it is quite effective against scalp ringworm, its toxicity is severe, leading to peripheral nerve damage throughout the patient's entire body," Chen Hao stated, sharing his hypothesis.

It was impossible not to feel heartbroken. The agony that washed over him in that single instant was so intense it nearly made his vision go black, leaving him unable even to stand steadily, relying entirely on sheer willpower to keep himself upright.

"What about now, then?" Chu Nuannian asked with a hint of anxiety. Surely she couldn't just stay hidden under the covers forever.

After sensing the situation and confirming that what the Desire Gu claimed was indeed true, both masters remained deeply hesitant about whether or not to drink this Brew of Seven Emotions.

Chen Hao told Zhao Danping to go wash up first while he set to work adding coal briquettes to the stove to keep the fire from going out and having to be restarted.

Such an arrogant and tyrannical attitude naturally provoked public outrage among the Kindred. In the end, countless external sects and factions united to collectively denounce that clan leader.

If it were Wang Longyuan initiating a challenge to the death, the veteran masters wouldn't mind signing a life-and-death pact to step into the ring and fight. But if it were against Wang Jinglong, even an overwhelming victory would leave them somewhat lacking in face.

A simple logic like this could not possibly escape a mechanoid executive capable of processing hundreds of thousands of data streams per second.

As the man finished speaking, the others finally noticed a pink-and-white snake suddenly appear wrapped around his raised arm, its head fiercely sinking its fangs into the web of his hand.

Wang Wei sneered. Convinced that someone else was pulling the strings behind the scenes, he didn't believe a single word Liu Dakui said.

"Cruel? I have never felt this world was cruel. Have you not noticed that in this era dominated by you humans, all other races have chosen to give way? Do you know why?" When the primordial fierce beast uttered these words, everyone else fell silent.

The youth nodded and stole a glance at the man's expression, only to receive a shock. At that moment, the man's face was filled with an apathy as cold as the flying snow of December.

"You are allowed to impose such arbitrary and exorbitant fees, yet I am not allowed to expose you?" Wang Wei was well aware that this matter essentially had nothing to do with him, but since Baili claimed he did it, he didn't bother to deny it anyway. Even if he really had done it, Baili Weibo couldn't possibly do anything to him.

He opened his mouth, but not a single sound came out. Moments later, his body slumped powerlessly to the side.

"Hmph, the abilities of the God Race are nothing much after all." The One-Eyed Wolf had already figured out Xu Chen's bottom line. With a flash of his figure—before Xu Chen could even register his movement—he was already lunging straight toward Xu Chen with his hooks in hand.

A vice-governor in charge of transportation construction asked: Regarding the construction of the island-encircling road, all fourteen project sites across the island were launched simultaneously. The subgrade construction is now basically complete, and many places have begun paving the road surface while others are preparing stone materials. I would like to ask, are there any specific restructuring plans for the roads in the counties and cities of the interior center?

Delingha had transformed into a massive distribution center for supplies. On the northern slopes, multiple lines of barbed wire fenced off defensive perimeters, where a wide, makeshift gravel road connected at one end to the Qinghai-Tibet Highway and plunged straight into the northern mountains at the other.

"What are you talking about?!" A young martial artist standing nearby, hearing them slander the sacred ground in his heart, angrily questioned them.
