Chapter 29: The Results of the Paternity Test
Mu Deyan returned from out of town. Upon learning that both his son and daughter-in-law had been hospitalized, his expression turned terrifyingly grim.
"Speak. Tell me everything that happened while I was away."
He sat in the head seat of the living room. Although his tone sounded calm, it carried the ominous weight of an impending storm.
"What could have happened, Deyan? It was just a small accident. After all, who can control those inhumane beasts?" Xu Ya replied.
The Black Jade Mystic Snake, thoroughly enraged, lashed out and snapped at her, its tail whipping through the air toward the mesh enclosure.
"Damn it all..." Pan Qihua could no longer command his men. Only now did he fully grasp why, in the days of ancient cold weaponry, battles were often won by the few against the many.
So, it turned out Xia Yang wasn't confident in himself, but rather in the hand he held. Zhao Chao continued to reveal the cards. When the fifth card was turned over, Zhao Chao saw a Queen. Could it be?
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the chaos, Xia Yang followed the members of the Judo Club and snuck inside their quarters.
Qiao Ruofei understood Old Master Qiao's intentions, and she knew what Yi Jingfeng was after, but she did not want any part of it.
Yin Yuxin’s words—"That is not your child"—made Yin Yumo’s heart ache. Precisely because it was not her child, she was even less willing to let the little one suffer the slightest pain.
Qin Bu’er leaned back comfortably against the soft passenger seat, watching Qin Wanrou, who looked exhausted but was forcing herself to stay alert while driving.
She had already said this phrase three times that day; she was as ready to leave as one could be, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by the other party.
Not only did he easily complete the daily task of "Hunting Wild Beasts," but he also hunted many extra ones, including several rare species. This left Wang Yuan with pockets full of rewards.
To be honest, for a homebody whose specialty was playing video games, having a strength stat of 8 was already quite impressive.
"Sigh... I'm sorry, Wushuang. I don't know what the future holds, or if we will end up together, but I promise I will never let you suffer any grievances, and I will never make you cry again!" After muttering this to himself, Zhang Tianyi fell asleep right at the doorway.
In short, there were all sorts of opinions. Most believed the guy was acting; nobody had actually grabbed him there, yet he insisted on putting on a performance as if his vital parts had been seized. His expression was so convincing, without a trace of acting, that he was truly a talented performer.
"Purple Shadow, Blue Shadow, go help bring the villagers over. The porridge we boiled is just about cool enough," Red Shadow shouted. Mr. Li had the foresight to prepare food and water well in advance.
The aroma of chicken soup wafted from the house, accompanied by the educated youth showering Qin Hongfen with compliments and gratitude.
The Ye family remained far too traditional; despite their disciplined methods producing many ancient martial arts experts, true geniuses were few and far between.
In the countryside, the ultimate insult was to call someone a "son of a bitch," yet Qin Jianguo acknowledged the title with such nonchalance, even letting out a chuckle.
"Grandma Wang, I know how to gather herbs. Once I sell them, I will pay you back," Yunxi promised again. Before the old woman of the Wang family could respond, she picked up the rice sack and headed out.
"It was you who made the old man sick, so it's only right that you go back and serve him," Wang Guihua glared at her.
As the local powerhouse of Huaiyang Prefecture, Zhao Tuo would eventually have to leave. Xu Shiji reasoned that he could not possibly hold the vital stronghold of Liyang forever, especially since he was not a core subordinate of Li Mi. If he were to move to Huaiyang Prefecture, he believed Li Mi would not object.
"I've been waiting for you for ages. You've finally arrived. Can we fight now? I have to head back after this," the figure in the black robe said.
