Chapter 51: That Guy is Not Just About Simple Healing Abilities
Di Qiu groggily opened her eyes to find herself lying in a hospital room, an IV drip in her hand. She noticed three or four unfamiliar faces standing nearby.
"What the hell? Where am I? Is this even still in the country? Why are all these strangers here?" she thought frantically, quickly closing her eyes to suppress her panic. Just then, a voice broke through her thoughts.
"Hey, she’s awake."
Di Qiu remained speechless.
Meanwhile, the three companions sat drinking and eating, sharing stories from their journeys. When Huifeng recounted his encounters with the notorious Black and White Duo in Jiangzhou and the tale of the Longjiao Gang in Wuxue, Zhou Yuanzhi listened wide-eyed and utterly captivated.
“Maybe,” Zhang Cheng said casually, “but I’m more interested in what I’ll win if I win. Surely a bet can’t involve only my own stakes?” Though he spoke lightly, he was pleased to have gained some advantage, even if only verbally, in his contest with his second sister.
“It’s Liu Ruxi, the CEO of Tianyu Group. I’ve returned to take on a mission—to protect Liu Ruxi,” Lin Feng said, glancing toward Liu Ruxi, who was busy in the kitchen.
When the elder lama referred to the younger one as “Master,” Lu Fei was momentarily stunned.
Liao Yin and Liao Chen exchanged glances. Since Liao Yin was slightly older, Liao Chen gestured for him to speak first. Liao Yin hesitated, his expression troubled, and he looked to Liao Chen with a pleading gaze, silently hoping he would bail him out.
Xu Zhi sighed deeply and turned his head toward the center of Yaochi Lake. A grand official boat floated upon the shimmering waves, its railings carved from jade and wood, adorned with crimson lanterns atop its masts. The luxurious vessel was filled with the sounds of traditional music and continuous singing and dancing.
The snow giant’s hammer strikes were the most damaging attacks, and the so-called beheading effect was a powerful move that could instantly kill an opponent if triggered. Without the protection of the Atmospheric Shield, even the old cat, clad now in the Iron Star Five Heavy Armor, could be slain with a single blow.
At this moment, the Wanxiang Sect—a faction neither wholly righteous nor evil, steadfastly neutral—was especially significant. Unaffected by the recent dark upheaval, the sect boasted many masters. Though maintaining neutrality, it remained a force greatly feared by the demonic clans.
Danbao controlled the tattoos, wandering with interest through the stalls along the road, glancing here and there, thoroughly enjoying the shopping atmosphere.
Heixiaozi snorted with laughter behind him. Wu Yu glanced back at Heixiaozi, about to speak.
Approaching graduation, Chi Miaomiao secretly bought a plane ticket to attend Lu Mingrui’s graduation ceremony at his school.
After repeatedly threatening to ensure Fu Simin wouldn’t cause trouble, Chi Miaomiao opened the door with a nervous heart.
So, if he openly claimed to be the Ming Emperor, the most likely outcome would be a brutal whipping.
The subsequent cleanup was manageable, as these dormant zombies and giant rats lacked significant destructive power.
Jiang Ying chatted briefly with Qiao Nan, greeted a few crisis management colleagues working overtime, then entered her office.
After leaving the Ji family’s residence, Ji Min started the engine and sped off, spotting Nie Zhao’s car tailing at a corner intersection.
“Your point is that Kaiping County collected these two million shi of grain uniformly, then sold it through Mao’s ‘China Grain Industry,’ distributing all the proceeds to the farmers of Kaiping County?” Zhu Yuanzhang summarized.
Wu Xie didn’t give them a chance to reply, grabbing a kettle and pouring water over the bugs in the basin.
Chi Miaomiao repeatedly declined, coughing softly out of discomfort—old houses lacked soundproofing, so she dared not speak loudly.
At two in the morning, Xiao Fan quietly departed the General’s Mansion with Lin Caixuan and three thousand soldiers. He divided the troops into two groups of fifteen hundred each: one led by Lin Caixuan and Qin Han, the other by himself and Wang Chao, heading separately to the Grand Tutor’s residence and the Chancellor’s residence.
