Volume 1, Chapter 124: The Birth of the Child

The man's hand brushed over her flat abdomen, his voice calm. "Yingli, whatever decision you make regarding this child, I will support you."

The scorching heat of his palm burned her right through her clothes. Jiang Yingli's movements slowed for a fraction of a second before she lifted her eyelids to look at his profile.

He sized Yun Xiao up from head to toe, and just as he had felt moments ago, the man seemed utterly worthless.

Yet, though every step Lou Yi took seemed simple, he was constantly gambling with his life. He didn't believe for a second that the other man was a fool who could be easily led by the nose. On the contrary, the Bone Skull was terrifying and exceedingly insidious.

"Because the three of them are extremely important. Two are radio operators, and the other is a confidential clerk. They hold a vast amount of the Japs' secrets."

However, social status did not dictate what one could do. Those of high standing might not necessarily deign to do such things. Aside from the basic necessities of eating, drinking, and sleeping, they probably disdained doing anything else themselves. When faced with such matters, they would rather pay out of pocket than shed a single drop of blood.

With a quick incantation, Yao Yanque teleported to Haike's office. There were very few people there today, the most familiar face being the male teacher who had mocked her the other day.

Suiyu Huimie suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Qingfeng's arm. Because of this violent movement, her cloak slipped down, and the despair in the depths of her eyes grew even deeper.

"Owing money is one thing, but I just feel that those people went too far! I want to do something about it! Even if it's none of my business, I still want to ask! Maybe I don't represent fairness and justice, maybe I don't have positive energy, but what about everyone else? Where is their positive energy hidden?" Hu Dafa looked up at the two brothers.

"...Suiyu Qingling... can you really bring yourself to do it?" Pan Shi clearly thought Gui Die was joking.

Upon seeing Zheng Qiqi's signature blue hair, the Feng Shui master's pupils instantly contracted, and cold sweat began to break out on his back.

However, when Tang Yan reached the door of the secret chamber, her outstretched hand hovered in mid-air. After a long while, she pulled it back. Today was already the third day, and they still hadn't come out. If she rushed in now, would she only make matters worse?

"What, do you still have something to say?" After Li Shimin left, Qin Hu spoke in a deep voice to the Imperial Guard captains standing nearby with their heads hanging low.

Wang Dahai excitedly gave a thumbs-up and kept nodding his head, showering Liang Chen with endless praise in an instant.

Even he, along with the fishermen under his command, had gone out to sea and cast their nets dozens of times. Let alone catching so many valuable things, they had barely even seen them before. How on earth did Lin Jie manage to find them?

But now that he had witnessed Yue Qianyu's astonished expression with his own eyes, he couldn't help but suspect him. After all, the drawings on the wall were things he had expressed in a roundabout way to track down his father's killer.

"I disagree! Combat power cannot be the sole criterion for the Federal President! If the president chosen this way is merely a simple-minded warrior, how can he lead the Earth Federation?" Yasen immediately stood up and strode to the front of the stage.

Qin Ling looked at the broken arrow shaft, then at the iron arrow next to his saddle, a chill gripping his heart. Just now, his lieutenant had blocked an arrow for him, but if that feathered arrow had been this black iron arrow instead, they probably would have both been pierced through.

A deep tunnel appeared before Liu Da. Without looking back, he walked inside, making his way with practiced ease to a secret chamber. Inside, a glowing crystal ball actually outshone the torchlight. Liu Da extinguished the flame, cast a beam of white light at the crystal ball, and then waited there in silence.
