Chapter 61: Welcome to the Horror World (30)
The Empress indeed summoned several imperial physicians to the Kunyue Palace today, though not to treat her own illness, but rather to inquire about the recent, frequent miscarriages among consorts in the inner court.
Jiang Qizumi was quite delighted. If that fellow Tohsaka were to learn of this news, there is no telling how overjoyed he might be.
Shaking his head, his vision gradually cleared, and a dull ache throbbed at the back of his neck. Xiao Jingyi lay on the ground, his hands and feet bound, completely unable to move.
Gu Nuan shook her head, struggling to maintain her clarity. Damn it, why was this body so frail? She had merely sat in the snow for a brief moment, yet now she was growing weak and dizzy.
However, her microphone was also dead, and the venue was overwhelmingly noisy. No matter how much she strained her voice to shout, at most only the first few rows could hear her, while the stadium currently held nearly five thousand people.
Xia Qiaye, who was in the kitchen, immediately walked out. Lion dance troupes did exist in the town; many merchants would invite one to celebrate a grand opening, and Xia Qiaye and the others naturally would not miss this opportunity to attract everyone's attention.
Although Wen Jiaojiao was still very frightened, knowing that Fang Jing had regained consciousness brought a considerable sense of relief to her heart.
Neither of them spoke. One stared at the display screen, while the other gazed at the electronic monitor, as though the most brilliant film was playing upon them, when in truth, both were completely blank.
Qingyang said nothing further, merely gazing indifferently at the dense forest ahead, his eyes fixed on Chen Ping and his departing party. Ultimately, they would be left behind in this expanse of woods.
The shadow, not yet fully freed from control, completely enshrouded the corpse under Mode's mental command.
Curry Sauce looked at Dali with a look of utter terror, as if she had just learned some deeply guarded secret.
After examining the patient's condition on the scene, he immediately classified the case as a major and difficult medical problem, reporting it directly to Geng Bozhong.
Before Old Cui could even exert his strength, he felt his arm tighten and was yanked straight up into a tree by Wanyu.
"Lawyer Zhang, were you swapped by an alien?" Zhang Xiao looked at Zhang Wei, reaching out to pinch his cheek. No, it was still human skin, not an alien.
In the wasteland world, the skills of many people could turn corpse-embryo cells and corpse-embryo organs into potions and equipment.
Even when asleep, his formidable aura remained intact. With sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his face did not conform to current popular trends, but was instead stern and fierce.
In truth, if these items were sold to the Salvation Group or the Starry Sky Group, they could likely fetch a rather high price.
At a single glance, he saw the person who had been crushed by falling debris. Not only was there a bloody gash torn into their thigh by a steel pipe, but their abdomen had also been ripped open by a sharp lamp-stand bracket, exposing the raw flesh and blood vessels outward.
Her soft body and the fragrant scent of her hair stirred Salman's imagination, causing certain physical reactions.
Yet no one believed these words, for her complexion was simply too dreadful, completely devoid of color, as if she might collapse at any moment.
Just as the voice fell, Guan Xiaomei appeared in everyone's line of sight, though she looked sickly, her face even redder than Lin Baiyu's had been when she woke up this morning.
"You all saw it clearly, Yaoyin suddenly launched an attack on me," Le Xiang said.
Li Wangge sat on the sofa, supporting her forehead with waves of helplessness. What would happen if they knew that Qiao Ran had never intended to use the names they had chosen at all?
When Dong Mingsheng had originally been willing to cooperate with her and listen to her lengthy discourse, it was entirely because of Feng Zhongliang. Yet he had heard that Feng Nan and Feng Zhongliang were at bitter odds with each other, having even moved out of the Feng family estate, leaving the relationship between grandparent and grandchild exceptionally poor.
With those words, Lin Baiyu took two steps forward and was already a hundred meters away, vanishing from Yun Gu's sight with a few more strides.
Before Chen Mo's hand could touch the gown, however, another hand reached out and snatched it first.
Yan Ziyi's expression grew increasingly solemn. He wondered whether he should deploy the high-tech weaponry stored in the basement. Once those things were used, he would inevitably have to leave this place, and his whereabouts would be exposed.
Jiang Se had no time to explain the rumors circulating domestically. After completing her interviews abroad, she had already plunged into the commercial filming for Federer watches, far too busy to spare a moment.
Selena could only obediently follow them into the vehicle, not forgetting to flash a meaningful look at Al. It didn't matter if she was dragged back, as long as Al was still around to act on her behalf.
Upon leaving the sect leader's chambers, Su Chen received a piece of news: three days later, the new disciples would head to the Beast Forest for experiential training. Though it would only be in the outer perimeter, it was far more secluded than the outer area near the imperial capital.
One had to admit that Loki must not have checked the almanac before making this trip to Earth; not only did everything go against him, but he was also beaten soundly time and time again.
At that moment, Kurama and Karin had also dealt with the other rebels, and the situation was immediately brought under control.
Following that, certain individuals, such as celebrities, had previously stirred up incidents that amounted to scandals, or perhaps committed various wrongful deeds.
Doctor Banner paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so heartily that Tony felt somewhat embarrassed. Only upon hearing this final sentence did he understand why Tony had suddenly conceived the idea of retirement.
"Is this really the Naruto we usually know? How terrifying!" Ino stared at Naruto from the side, saying in disbelief, clearly frightened by him.
Hearing the old man of their household speak thus, Shangguan JingShi resignedly raised a hand to massage his aching temples.
His gaze remained laced with guarded caution and distrust. Qiao Chu felt a chill in her heart, the corners of her mouth twitching in a mocking sneer as she stubbornly looked away from him.
Even when navigating close to the coast, the risk of striking reefs remained high. Much like the Song dynasty shipwrecks salvaged in later eras, quite a few had sunk due to hitting reefs.
The one who made the move was Sasuke, but unfortunately, the gap between him and a Jounin was still too vast, merely weakening the ninjutsu to a degree.
The Undark Secret Master said in a low voice, "Offense taken!" With a flick of his right hand across his chest, he projected a red, lotus-like stream of light that enveloped Hua Xianying like an illusion turning real.
Fortunately, everyone trusted him and placed blind faith in him, knowing that he was a man capable of continuously working miracles. Only through this could they encourage one another and endure through these difficult days.
