Volume 1, Chapter 28: The Heir's Consort Takes Action

Luo Yan asked excitedly, "Sister-in-law, you really aren't angry that I got into a fight?"
If it had been his father coming to collect him today, regardless of the reason, he would have inevitably been severely punished upon returning home.
"Oh, so you think you can be disrespectful to your older brother just because you're favored by the Empress? Perfect, I'm heading to the palace to pay my respects to her as well!" Chang Shu shouted.
I jolted awake, eyes snapping open to see the curtains drawn and sunlight filtering through, casting countless tiny dancing specks of light across the floor. I climbed out of bed, rubbing my eyes as I walked out. Zhang Minglang was busy in the kitchen, fussing over something.
However, she kept it to herself that Xia Amei’s soul power had increased before and after her injury. Since she hadn't yet discovered the reason, she decided not to mention it to her.
After another round of eating and drinking, and a long, deep sleep, I emptied my remaining Gold Credits upon waking. I went all-in, filling my energy reserves until my Dantian was brimming with luck, ensuring my body was in its absolute peak state.
Even his own boss's father-in-law, Li Yan, and the boss's father, Jin Xuyao, had not escaped the tragic fate of being tricked into testing his medicines when they were younger—with Jin Xuyao suffering the worst of it.
That previous strike, while seemingly incredibly overbearing and capable of killing the old woman in an instant, had exhausted all his luck and left his meridians severely damaged.
I looked back at Zhao Bingyan in astonishment, only to see her calm and composed, her eyes untroubled, carrying an air of absolute tranquility.
She feared that if Francis discovered she had feigned abdominal cramps and a potential miscarriage just to manipulate his concern for the child and for her—luring him away from Fu Anna and to the hospital—he would come to hate her and never love her again.
"The Princess has not yet risen; please wait in the front hall, Gege," Bai Yansong said respectfully, though his expression remained blank.
Auntie An was certain that the family would not side with Shen Yueling. As long as she adamantly denied it, there was nothing Shen Yueling could do to her.
"Lock Gou Zhuang in the dungeon first; we shall interrogate him tomorrow," Yan Ling ordered. However, the crowd from the Mad War faction surrounded Gou Zhuang, making it impossible for the law enforcement team to get near him.
Though he might be stronger than the average person, after all, he had been hosted by the Mad Dragon System for so long.
Ziyue happened to be in his arms, and as Lin'er’s blood soaked through, she caught the scent.
At the eighth stage of Spirit Awakening, endurance is greatly enhanced, allowing a martial artist to potentially dodge bullets from a distance.
Standing up, Chen Qingshan looked at the person before him, his expression turning serious: this was a cultivator.
Even when the department director stepped in to mediate, Master Bai remained adamant that it was not his fault.
"A thousand-year-old Monkey Wine!" Yan Hongfu licked her lips like a greedy cat, her gaze burning as she stared at the jade gourd in the old man's hand.
"Mother! Why did you come here?" A voice like a booming bell rang out; it was Savage Bear.
Thinking about how his backside would surely be a bloody mess after receiving fifteen military lashes, A-Ling moved step by agonizing step, dragging his feet as he shuffled toward the door.
Zhou Mingxuan clenched his fists. What kind of joke was this? Asking him to find his own wife to serve someone else? Don't even dream of it.
Before she could catch her breath, the unscrupulous man let out a soft chuckle and casually tossed her onto the ground, as if... throwing away trash! She felt her body arc through the air, and amidst the whistling wind in her ears, she landed miserably with a loud thud, sending gravel flying.
"My precious wife, I’ve seen every inch of you, and I’ve even tasted it all with my own mouth. Isn't it a bit too late to be acting shy now?" he said with a wicked grin.
