Chapter 48: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
Director Lan was quite taken aback by these words. Though it sounded simple enough, how many people could truly follow through? After all, regular massages could only alleviate muscle atrophy—they could ease the symptoms, not eradicate them. As long as Xie Lin could wake up, muscle atrophy would eventually be resolved, though it would require considerable effort. Yet from Gu Zhuo’s tone, she seemed intent on carrying out this task with utmost rigor. Not to mention, just getting up at night would be exhausting enough.
Since Bai Muxue was willing to cook, Lin Feng didn’t insist on taking over. He simply helped her wash and chop the ingredients before returning to the living room to rest. However, because he had awakened a superpower, his physical abilities had improved to some extent. Hospitals around the world found their business declining as a result.
People like Jin Ge and Zhang Wei were both shocked by Chen Qi’s life-or-death decision and deeply concerned for him.
On the way, Bai Muxue remained silent, ignoring Lin Feng’s attempts at conversation.
At times, Chifengyu stood as immovable as a mountain, utterly unshaken, yet he could deftly evade the attacks of Cui Zeyuan and his four companions.
She did not cry, but her pearly teeth bit gently into her rosy lips, her misty eyes gazing at him with such grievance that it was more pitiable than tears. This sight made Lu Shiyu’s heart melt completely.
Long Fei joked with a laugh, noting that Mo Yu and Mo Shuang looked so identical that, were it not for their vastly different personalities, even he might have mistaken one for the other.
The Thunder Bird seemed aware of the Nine-Tailed Azure Fox’s fearsome power and dared not confront it directly. Using its superior speed, it danced through the skies, attempting to dodge the fox’s attacks and buy time.
The phrase “fools have their own kind of strength” had proven true in Wen Shang’s case at the start of the month. Seeing Wen Shang persist, she let things be, deciding that if she truly couldn’t carry the load later, she would simply put less in the other basket.
With Lin Xiaoxiao’s cunning, she immediately guessed much—perhaps something unforeseeable had happened on Earth.
Once they sensed what the Void Swallowing Flame was doing, they all froze, quickly drawing the same conclusions.
Gu Ning immediately nodded in agreement. “Exactly. The fact that he was waiting for us at the Yuelai Inn shows he had planned this in advance.”
Thus, the question had weighed on Xiu Xiyu’s mind for a long time, and at this moment, she finally could not help but voice it.
The five henchmen straightened, as if receiving a sacred mission. In perfect unison, they took a formal step forward and saluted with military precision.
Freed from burdens, Li Shaofan unleashed fearsome combat prowess. The two mid-stage Golden Immortals were forced into retreat, their combined techniques disrupted. In Li Shaofan’s eyes, they were lambs to the slaughter—there would be no mercy.
Lin Huan’s heart sank, and in the next instant, she felt a powerful force surge through her, threatening to pull her out of the teleportation state.
Since the court ministers all shared a similar view, their worries about His Majesty’s safety were put to rest.
Li Shaofan couldn’t help muttering to himself. If the Jade Emperor’s power differed from what he knew, there could be trouble. After all, this was Hongjun Daozu’s gatekeeper; who knew what treasures the Dao Ancestor might bestow upon the Jade Emperor?
More intriguing was how the Republic of America, having amassed great wealth during the two World Wars, had built its status as the world’s leading power—how much of it, truly, was “just”?
His Highness drew a red line—he would not annihilate the noble families, but neither would he continue to tolerate their dominance in government or their idleness.
It was unclear why the other party had come here. It was likely that Ma Bi and the others had left contact information with Spirit Pool Island.
After cleaning herself up, Gu Bao’er gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Her body was covered in bruises of blue and purple. She took a deep breath. The blows had been harsh, but at least by the time she had to perform, the marks would fade.
