Volume 1, Chapter 63: Qualified

The study on the ground floor featured a massive floor-to-ceiling window. Through the glass, one could look out over a vast forest of cedars weighed down by thick, oppressive snow. Qiao Ruoxi led Fu Mingshen to an oak round table set right against the window.

Today was the exact due date of Shufang's pregnancy. Although she showed no signs of labor yet, she had been pressured into checking into the hospital by Qiao Sujuan, who had made a special trip to be there. Because Shufang felt no impending signs, the two brothers had left the hospital to stroll around a nearby shopping mall.

Yet, when he lifted his gaze to look at Kevrol, he discovered that the internal Qi of the seven chakras he had left within her body last time had been largely depleted. While the remaining Qi still possessed considerable force, four of the chakras were nearly exhausted; the only fortunate thing was that the internal Qi of the root chakra had scarcely been touched.

How could Li Song fail to grasp the intention behind the Ancestor of Demons Luoji wielding the Heaven-Splitting Chisel? He made the scene of Pangu creating the universe manifest in the world, employing a brilliant strategy to kill two birds with one stone. First, he created a top-tier thug like Chiyou. Second, he added fuel to the fire, intensifying the dispute over the Chaos Clock between the Taoist Three Pure Ones and Profound Wood Island.

Dressed in cyan, the disciple first bowed to Kuafu and then said, "This disciple holds a treasure known as the Rivers and Mountains社稷 Map, which is capable of containing the universe and can resolve Master's immediate peril." As she spoke, she indeed produced a scroll and slowly unrolled it. Upon it were depicted mountains, rivers, seas, and all things in the world, embracing almost everything imaginable.

Su Jinling told her that Ah Bai had rushed home because her parents were worried, but she would come back tomorrow.

Accused by the four great demon commanders, Lu Ya did not reply, only smiling without a word. Beside him, Kunpeng clapped his hands and laughed, "The Young Master possesses supreme talent, and this old man is filled with awe!" Kunpeng's words left Bai Ze and the other three utterly bewildered.

That day, when they returned home, the sky had already darkened, but their hearts carried a trace of anticipation and release regarding the future.

Only then did Zhao Zhengce smile faintly and raise his hand. Immediately following him was Qiao Guangming. Qiao Guangming had been watching Zhao Zhengce's movements out of the corner of his eye, and seeing Zhao Zhengce raise his hand, he raised his own instantly, then nudged Pan Jianxin, the somewhat dumbfounded Head of the Organization Department, with his shoulder, signaling him to hurry and raise his hand as well.

Now, no one knew how many years it would be before he was born, yet formidable enemies were already seeking him out. Those unwilling to accept defeat, such as the Sea Dragon King and the Fish Dragon King, naturally could not resist this temptation and were stirring with restless ambition.

As soon as Prophet Mao stepped through his front door, he hurriedly took a shower, then returned to his bedroom to pack a simple bag, intending to find a temple where he could seek refuge. Neither his wife nor his children dared to ask a single question; despite the gentle and amiable uncle persona he frequently projected in front of the camera, once home he was prone to verbal abuse and physical blows, and they feared him deeply.

"I heard from Tang Jing that King Xia is playing the second male lead. I'm really looking forward to King Xia's portrayal of the role," Dongfang Zixuan murmured softly, her lips parting slightly.

"Mother, this is the Xia Family Pharmacy. You were knocked unconscious by that egg, and I carried you here on my back," Lin Luo explained.

Shen Yanxi and Huo Xiang harbored completely different thoughts. One of them showed no concern whatsoever for Jiang Qingting and the child, focusing all attention entirely on Helian Zhanzhi and Tang Tang, while the other had eyes only for Jiang Qingting and the baby in her womb, paying virtually no heed to Jiang Yi's situation.

These medicinal herbs were of an extremely high grade, entirely useless to ordinary people. Even for someone of her status as an eighth-tier alchemist, she might not use even a few stalks in the span of a year.

At this moment, Sun Lin's strength was truly and brilliantly displayed. In this Western Continent, Sun Lin was like a sudden dark horse, instantly shattering the existing balance of power in the region—much like a solitary stone cast into the stillness of a deep pool, rippling the water and stirring up wave after wave.
