Volume One, Chapter 34: You’re Probably Going to Be a Father!

Before Jiang Qin could react, Huo Sili snatched up her phone.

His movements were so swift they left afterimages, startling her badly and instantly filling her with especially complicated emotions.

“Ying’er! I can’t live without you!” Jiang Zicheng suddenly turned around and pulled her tightly into his arms. Li Suyu’s face flushed crimson as she stood there in a daze, though a trace of relieved joy still lingered at the corners of her mouth.

Lin Yu was speechless. He had just summoned her, only to fall asleep afterward. Still, she did not dare disturb him and quietly waited nearby. The stench, however, was growing increasingly unbearable.

Fury surged within her. Ye Susu glared resentfully at the man in the driver’s seat, gritted her teeth, turned around, and walked toward Li Jing.

During the Hejian Campaign, Kesi had never imagined that Anso was the one who would suddenly abduct her. If Walter ordering Greave to forcibly take her away could still be considered understandable, then Anso’s personally carrying out the abduction had been completely unexpected.

The man who had once been her boyfriend for three years was now, in her eyes, nothing more than someone she used to know. Nothing more.

According to the two guards, there should be rooms like this farther along the passage. But Ayana had indeed gone in this direction, which meant there had to be another way through here.

Yet this Mingxin was also an illusion. As Xu Tangran shattered it, he swung the Blood Soul Blade in his hand, and a blood-red ripple descended from the sky, cleaving a mark into the ground half a meter wide, ten feet deep, and more than thirty feet long.

Qin Luofan stood before them, his bottomless dark eyes fixed tightly on Chen Mohan, whose face had gone pale with terror.

“Ha… ha… They say that every successive monk king of Tibet is an incarnation of Guanyin, but no matter how I look at you, you don’t resemble her at all. Ha… ha…” Wu Di slowly climbed onto the Dalai Lama’s back.

“Very well! Su Liangpin, what kind of weapon suits you best?” Ashina Xuanli was a warrior to the core, as could be seen from his previous life-and-death battle with Ji Wuling at Fengling Ferry.

Even a moving target merely shifted from side to side. Its trajectory could still be predicted, so it could not be counted as a true test.

“By the way, you haven’t been to the True Heart Restaurant in ages. Don’t you want to go and take a look?” I very much wanted to persuade Duan Ruochen. I did not want to spend the New Year apart from Father and Mother Chen, but even less did I want to abandon Duan Ruochen like this. If everyone could gather together, it seemed we might have the best of both worlds.

“Auntie, even without that Situ, Chen Chen and I would never have been possible.” My heart ached as I explained myself once more to Mother Chen.

The more perfectly a person controls their own power, the more qualified they are to be regarded as a world-class expert.

“I think so too. They definitely aren’t up to anything good.” Kong Shaoyang agreed with Qin Feiyang. There had to be some scheme behind all this; they simply had no idea yet what it was.

Actually, I had only been bluffing just now, deliberately frightening the assassins into retreating. When we entered the Fire Phoenix Empire, we were allowed to keep our swords, armor, and other weapons, but the guards at the pass confiscated our bows and arrows. We had no bows or arrows at all.

Many people did not recognize him. But when they saw that Li Xiye was nowhere to be found, they automatically assumed that this man must have been sent by Li Xiye to protect Mo Yueyou.

Xiao Li had video-called him several times, and Fu Luo had been changing his bandages each time. Whether intentionally or not, the sight of his physique remained unforgettable in Xiao Li’s mind.

“How is it not simple?” Ji Wuling knew me far too well; as my straight man in the exchange, he performed flawlessly.

“It’s a good thing you pulled me back in time. Thank you.” Fortunately, the two of them had their backs turned and could not see each other’s expressions. Dong Yu’s tone also sounded fairly natural.
