Volume 1, Chapter 26: Your Child Calls Me Daddy

Ji Zhixu clapped his little hands while sitting in his safety seat. "That's great! I want to tell Dad this good news."

Shu Xingruo replied, "He already knows."

Ji Zhixu whispered, "Then has Mom forgiven Dad? Can we move back home now?"

Shu Xingruo said, "Xuxu, Mom and Dad are destined to be apart. We won't be going back there again."

Ji Zhixu felt his nose sting and his voice choked with sobs. "Mom, I understand."

Seeing her son like this, Shu Xingruo felt a pang in her heart and comforted him, "If you miss your dad, we'll go to the Science Museum together tomorrow."

Ji Zhixu nodded sensibly. "Okay!"

After dropping Ji Zhixu off, Shu Xingruo went to work at the company.

Dongsheng...

"Wait..." The doctor’s hand slowly traced down Hu Ba’s chest. After measuring a few inches back and forth, he pressed his thumb onto a specific spot and deftly pulled a scalpel from his robes with his right hand, placing it against Hu Ba’s body.

"Classmate, I am truly worried about them. Could you please check for me?" As Li Mu spoke, he secretly slipped several hundred-dollar Federation bills over. This guy was a member of the student council, and at a glance, Li Mu could tell he wasn't the type to be above such things; it should work.

After the initial excitement, Sun Zhuo began to examine his new body. It was indeed much stronger than his previous one, and he stared at the muscles on his arms in disbelief.

There was another man, tall and broad-chested, wielding a large saber and hacking away at the rebel soldiers frantically. He showed no fear of blades or gunfire, fighting like a man possessed.

Wang Luo remained silent for a while—at least five or six minutes. By the time Yang Wentian grew impatient, he finally spoke again.

Even the way they looked at Loren shifted from suspicion and worry to increasing favor and reverence.

This guy didn't care if you were going from north to south or south to north; as long as he set his sights on a business deal, Wu Yaofa would make sure it happened.

He was muttering to himself when a sturdy, fierce-looking man walked up to him.

It should be known that in the underworld, Lord Yama strictly prohibited communication between Grim Reapers and had established very severe penalties. Wang Ge, as an ordinary human, was not originally bound by these rules, but for his own safety, he avoided communicating with any Reaper other than Xu Zi.

The Jiao Mu Jiao stood on its hind legs and let out a loud roar at Dou Buchu, its eyes filled with fierce glares. However, when the remnant light sword flew back into Dou Buchu's hand, it seemed to recognize the weapon. The ferocity was instantly replaced by terror; recalling how its front limb had been severed, it began to back away repeatedly, desperate to escape.

Neither the Master of the Mirage Palace nor Palace Elder Gong had expected that the Barefoot Immortal Master had already heard of Jiang Yi’s name, which was quite surprising.

"Mei'er knows!" With her head bowed, Mu Ximei’s tears kept falling. Who could tell her if all of this was real? Was this truly the sweetness that follows bitterness?

But saving a life was like fighting a fire; sometimes, a single missing herb could mean the difference between life and death. If it weren't for Li Tong’s generosity this time, it would have been wishful thinking for Li Ning to acquire the Tooth-Joint Grass and White Blue Grass. Wu Xin would have certainly died. Ironically, the very herbs that were missing were the ones Li Ning had originally possessed.

In an instant, everyone could no longer sense the aura of Prince Longyang. He was truly dead and extinguished, leaving not a single chance for survival.

Li Hao’s heart went cold upon hearing this. A few hundred million wasn't nearly enough, so he said casually, "I need ten billion. Some things are hard to explain right now, let's talk about it later."

Before long, Zhou Chu appeared with Lin Junxian and a group of high-level executives. To everyone's shock, Zhou Chu was holding a sledgehammer today, walking over with a grave expression, while the people behind him all wore grim faces.

Hu Dan raised his glistening blade and stabbed it into the bed covers. He felt something was wrong the moment it pierced through, but it was too late. Yang Le-fan was behind him, throwing punches with both hands, leaving Hu Dan completely disoriented.

Li Hao, of course, wouldn't just take a beating. He had already given the order to take these people down; whether they lived or died depended on their own luck.

The moment Jiang Yi received the letter, his expression changed. The spiritual pattern seal on the letter was something that, under the heavens, only Mirage City would use.

Most outer sect disciples didn't have flying swords, so they had to settle for sharp, precious swords to carry at their sides. Firstly, to accentuate their chivalrous temperament, and secondly, to preserve their own dignity. Over time, most outer sect disciples hung a precious sword by their side to signify their status.

When he arrived last night, Lu Hongjun had bundled the chopped firewood and placed it in the tractor, using straw as kindling.

With this, he had effectively verified his assets, allowing him to trade stocks even over the phone.

Seeing Liu Peisheng standing stiffly on the spot, already dead, and Sun Zhongjun severely injured, Mei Jianhe leaped into the air, landed beside Sun Zhongjun, and carried her away as he fled down the mountain.

Walking into the office of the General Manager of Hang Seng Bank, He Tian stood up to welcome Chen Yaotai. The two sat down on the sofa, and his assistant served them tea.

He was filled with excitement and anticipation, eager to worship the statue of the Earth Goddess and inherit the power of the Flame Emperor.

He was not someone to be trifled with. He moved quickly, his right hand gripping the wrist of the gangster who had missed his swing, then locked it firmly and pinned his other arm behind his back.

Listening to these discussions, Xu Yinyin laughed inwardly, though her face remained a mask of grievance.

As long as it wasn't illegal, if you told them not to do something, they would insist on doing it just to spite you.

Yuzhenzi was intimidated by the power of his palm and dared not take another direct hit. Without bending his legs, he suddenly leaped into the air, performed a backward somersault, and clung to the top of a pine tree.

"At all costs, you must capture them!" Yamamoto Kawa managed to muster a bit of energy, but the veins on his forehead bulged, and he was filled with extreme rage.

Lin Yuemei only had cultivation at the early Mysterious Stage; how could she be a match for that man? Not only did he not dodge, but he stepped forward, reached out, and grabbed the foot Lin Yuemei had kicked at him.

It was Lin Yuemei’s misfortune to have such a father. Fortunately, with her help this time, he had turned over a new leaf and likely wouldn't commit such wrongs again.

Just as Ding Dang was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard a mobile phone ringing behind him.

Bai Ranran realized that ever since she met Lan Yanfeng, she had been subjected to his threats one after another. Her tears flowed like water from a tap that couldn't be turned off.

Because of this, Old Man Xiao had argued with Xiao Yiran, feeling that such work was too taxing for Bai Ranran. Even if Xiao Yiran didn't feel sorry for her, they felt the pain just watching.

Liu Ba sneered at these words. "Of course I want my brothers! But I want your life even more!" With that, a cold look appeared in Liu Ba’s eyes, and he pulled out a long blade and charged at Heipi.
