Volume 1, Chapter 25: Journey to the Capital to Find Her Husband

Hancheng First People’s Hospital.

Today was the day for Shangguan Xiyue’s follow-up examination. Early in the morning, accompanied by her husband and daughter, Shangguan Xiyue headed to the Hancheng First People’s Hospital.

"Ms. Shangguan, I presume? You are here for your follow-up today, correct? Please head up to the top floor to see Dean Xie."

The family of three was quite puzzled. Why would such a minor matter as a routine check-up require an audience with the dean? With lingering questions, the three took the elevator to the dean’s office on the top floor.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Come in!" came the resonant, vigorous voice of Xie Guanglin from within.

Yan Mingjun pushed open the partially ajar door to find Xie Guanglin sitting in his chair, reading a newspaper.

"Dean Xie, I’ve brought my wife for her check-up."

"Oh, it’s..."

This was a grave issue. Perhaps the Chaos Green Lotus had not chosen reincarnation for the sake of higher achievement, but now that she had that hope, as the lotus’s past incarnation—who could also be considered the lotus herself—could Qin Chuan really harden his heart and force her revival?

"The three demons haven't shown any movement either. Could they have already been dealt with by that ghost tree?" Jiang Xuehan asked in a low voice.

The three boxes on the table all required keys to open. Ye Zihan could not possibly have the keys, and the High Priest, the only one who might have possessed them, was already dead. It was impossible for Ye Zihan to dig up someone’s grave just to check if they had been buried with the keys.

"Wait, something is wrong. He is injured, severely. I heard about that great battle two months ago; he fought until he was exhausted and his foundation was damaged. He certainly cannot have recovered yet!" someone whispered.

"For instance, when he needs to pass gas in a public place, doesn't he have to hold it in?" Mu Ai continued to state his views without restraint, noticing the other person's expression but remaining completely indifferent.

The other party, however, ignored his response, shoving him down and shackling him to a steel bed with white foam padding.

"You two are so close. If you ask me, Sister Zhuo Qing, why don't you and Brother Wu Fan just become a real couple?" Qin Qin had come to see them off, but she said something she shouldn't have.

Kansima-De caught a glimpse of her mother. Knowing from her memories that there was bad blood between Solang and her mother, she whispered a few words to Solang before awkwardly drifting away.

"You didn't buy that pregnancy test from the supermarket downstairs just for convenience, did you? I only needed to buy a bunch, tamper with them, and wait for you to take the bait!" Huo Lingfeng said, feeling smug.

He almost never engaged Zhou An in close-quarters combat because, with his god-like mastery of light-body techniques and his coordination with flying swords, he could fight Zhou An entirely from a distance, ensuring he never let him get close.

Afterward, once the base odds were announced, the crowd began placing their bets at the long tables on either side of the arena.

Li Yuan was a thorn in his side. Ever since the prophecy "The plum tree bears fruit, and shall gain the world" began circulating through the streets of Luoyang, Yang Guang had despised everyone with the surname Li, his cousin Li Yuan included.

Qi Yu was startled, but upon reflection, she felt that Fuyi’s skills were extraordinary and her spiritual aura was of a depth she had never encountered before. It was not particularly surprising that her techniques and swordsmanship were inherited from a powerful clan, and that she came from the Wuxiang Sect.

Long Yaoyao sat cross-legged, continuously pulling out the ornaments she had brought and stacking them until she was completely surrounded.

After they became familiar, Ren Yixiao did not hesitate to tell Fuyi the contents of the jade slip, even detailing the entire process of how he had obtained it.

There was no other way. To avoid the monster's Ring of Resisting Fire, I had no choice but to take a wide detour. Finally, after an exhausting effort, I saw the monster's true face.

Chu Yan’s forehead beaded with cold sweat. He didn't know if it was because of his own guilty conscience, but every word the master of the Zen temple spoke felt like it had a hidden meaning.

Meanwhile, Bai Minglan remained dazed. He could not believe that the Judgment of Fate, which was rumored to be impossible to break with ordinary power, had been shattered just like that. In that moment, his peerless faith suffered a crack.

The hollow eyes seemed capable of capturing souls, and the wide-open mouth seemed ready to devour everything at any moment.

Discovering that Jiang Han had given it yet another nickname, "The Rental Cauldron," the Chaos Treasure Cauldron, feeling deeply insulted, hurriedly retorted.

Ji Tong’s face turned pale. Even if it was the truth, and even if it was a thing of the past, speaking of it was still incredibly embarrassing.

Tang Jinchao: Why would I need samples? Keep them yourself. Send your previous due diligence report and market research report to my email.

Its body was covered in crystal-clear blue-green dragon scales that shimmered brilliantly; its horns were imposing, its claws and teeth were sharp, and its eyes flickered with the colors of yin and yang.

Su Manhua gave it a try. She was a bit clumsy at first, and the resulting sound lacked any melody, but by the second and third time, it already carried a hint of spirit.

Old Man Hua saw himself. Not far ahead, he was busy working in the fields, his posture identical to his own, wearing the same clothes, and even sporting the same lump of mud on his head.

From the initial five jin to the current ten, Gong Qianlin finally understood what it meant to be swindled.

Stuck on the tower crane with no way down, facing the urging of the people below, he was helpless and dared not act recklessly. The people below, seeing that Shaoqiu did not know how to operate the crane, couldn't stop cursing. They couldn't understand why the boss was so clueless as to hire someone who didn't know how to work, and many were hurling insults.

Sang Ning decided that once the training was over, she would definitely give Li Juezhou a good lesson.

After all, they were only guests on the show; hosting investors was not a task that should fall on their shoulders.

Raising a hand to wipe the blood from his face, Zhang Xiao stepped directly past the squinting man and walked out of the sprinkler's reach.

"Ruiying says that Ruicao wants to see the Emperor, and that Ruicao’s condition is not good—she might not make it." Jingyi looked at me uneasily as she said this, her eyes seemingly searching for a reaction.

If the Lady fell to the ground and broke her neck, at most he would be blamed for poor protection. But if he had caught her to prevent her from breaking her neck, he would have been doomed, with nowhere left to hide.

Yesterday, Baoyuan told me that Xinning was coming into the palace to see me today. We sisters had not seen each other for a long time, and I had been sitting in the Changchun Hall in a state of restless anxiety since early morning.

Moreover, in the long run, Jiuling probably wouldn't keep it with her now. I’ve gone to look for it, and she must have found a remote place to settle down.
