Volume 1, Chapter 31: A Honey Trap

He suspected that something sinister was afoot, but he found it difficult to speak out directly, as he did not know the Mu family well.

Madam Xu the Elder had already been devastated by the incident concerning Xu You, and now, hearing that Princess Jing'an had met with misfortune, she was completely unable to bear the blow.

At this point, Mu Shangqing could not help but frown slightly. Recently, the Dark Empire seemed to be acting a bit too brazenly; it appeared she would truly have to deal with them.

Watching the person answer the questions with such earnestness, Mu Shangqing’s rapidly processing mind finally settled on a plan.

"Expired medicine is not only ineffective, but it also easily causes infections. How does your friend work? This is completely irresponsible. If this were used on a patient, she would be fired in a heartbeat," the nurse remarked.

Jiang Yeru watched as Jiang Ru spent money recklessly while her own mother did nothing, and neither did her stepfather; she loathed them to the core.

If she hadn't deliberately acted and failed to take precautions, she could have simply told her that if she ever became pregnant, she should go to the hospital to have it terminated.

"I have already contacted the school’s academic affairs office regarding this. They indicated that they would immediately issue laboratory management regulations so that dangerous test materials will no longer be left unsupervised," Meili interjected to report on what she had done.

In the blink of an eye, Li Ang found a middle-aged man with slightly greying temples standing before him. The man had his back to Li Ang and simply asked a question.

So, they had thrown her into this gathering of noble young ladies from marquis and count households the moment she arrived. Clearly, the Wei sisters had no intention of acting as hospitable hosts; they simply wanted to make her retreat in the face of difficulty, didn't they?

Everyone observed the camp where the Five-Poison demons were stationed. Mineral jade lamps erupted with bright beams of light; it was evident that these demons were drinking and making merry, indulging in non-stop revelry day and night.

"Very well, the prey is in the net. You take this family and go search their lair; the rest of you, follow me," the master commanded calmly.

Heart failure occurs because the body cannot withstand such high-load exertion during excessive running. Consciousness is lost the moment the heart fails, and the expression does not change in the slightest, remaining exactly as it was seconds before death.

Consequently, Daba kept attacking the cheetah without dealing a heavy blow. Often, just when he was about to succeed, he would withdraw his attack or avoid the vital points, simply toying with the cheetah.

Following the doctor's advice, You Jian accompanied Chen Jing to the hospital for a morning of anti-inflammatory intravenous drips. After returning home in the afternoon, You Jian followed the doctor’s instructions to apply the prescribed ointment to Chen Jing’s wounds.

Qi Yu shouted in a deep voice, fully displaying his speed. He vanished completely from Yuan Tian's sight. The wooden staff struck the ground, causing the stone floor to crack in layers for tens of meters around, as if a meteorite had landed. The flying debris shot outward with power no less than that of bullets.

The audience Liu Yi spoke of was not mere polite talk, for Shangguan Feng was a high-ranking disciple of the Dragon Martial Emperor Society. To a first-rate aristocratic family, this was a monumental task. Given his noble status, the Liu family’s meager strength was far from sufficient to be mentioned in the same breath as the Shangguan family.

A long time later, just as I finished grilling the fifth fish, Sata Feng finally drifted down from the horizon. He was clutching a tightly bound person, whom he tossed in front of me before staring with glowing eyes at the golden, glistening grilled fish nearby.

"But if you are defeated, you two will bear the greatest blame for the failure to suppress the bandits. Regardless of the casualties, the fault will be recorded against you. Furthermore, we will leave you with only a hollow reputation, having everyone spread rumors of how formidable your martial arts are, so that the entire martial world knows your names."

He had visited during the Qingming Festival a while ago, at which time Chen Jing also happened to be on holiday and had come with You Jian. That day had not been as gloomy as today. Of course, it was normal not to have this feeling when there were many people sweeping the graves during the holidays. It was mainly because You Jian had never come at an ordinary time, so it was understandable that he felt something was eerie.

However, he could still be considered a genius. One must know that Qin Yi's father, Qin Hong, could be called a genius, yet he only broke through to the Martial Master realm with Qin Yi's help; otherwise, he would have been trapped there for a lifetime.

On the way down the mountain, Wang Xiang'er looked as if she had lost her soul, her expression dazed. Clearly, her grandfather's death had hit her very hard.

She held up her hands, somewhat at a loss, the corners of her mouth twitching in an attempt to smile, but tears fell drop by drop, as if she had lost all control.

In the early morning, the sky slowly cleared, and several testers walked out of the great hall to stroll about outside.

"Cut the crap! I'm the one in charge now. I tell you to stop work, you stop. Do you not want this job anymore?" Tian Huaxiong cursed in a rage.

This scene made Lin Yu heave a sigh of relief. The profession of a teacher is sacred; every teacher is great.

Mocked as a chicken, the eagle demon was blinded by anger. It leaped into the air, intending to reveal its true demon form.

I climbed up from the ground and straightened my clothes, preparing to leave with him. Whether it was my curiosity getting the better of me or something else, I ended up voicing some of the questions in my heart.

Regarding the old man's illness, Lin Yu had already used a trace of spiritual energy cultivated last night to investigate. With the current level of medical care, it would likely be difficult even to identify the cause, let alone cure it, but he was confident he could heal the old man.

As he spoke, the man with the dark complexion reached out his devilish claws toward the veil on Wang Xiang'er's face, wishing to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

Ever since Lia came to find Chen Yi, Bai Wuchen had become sullen, his heart constantly dwelling on what Lia had said.

"How... how could you be so cruel?" Qin Cuifen was heartbroken. "Julian, I loved you so much, like a moth to a flame." Having mixed in the world of vice for so long, Qin Cuifen knew best when to submit and when to throw a tantrum.

"Wait! There are dwarves living in your territory? Doesn't the Orc nation kill every dwarf they capture?" Epstein asked again.

Lin Jiayu giggled, "I really couldn't tell you had such great influence. Well, since you've hitched your wagon to a star, I must toast you." With that, Lin Jiayu raised her glass to clink with Du Feng's, and they both downed their drinks in one gulp.
