Volume One, Chapter 26: Li Peach Blossom

“Damn! Widow Li!” Lin Hu couldn’t help but shudder, finally seeing and recognizing who the person was.

“Sister Peach Blossom, don’t misunderstand. I genuinely didn’t know you were bathing here, I was just passing by.”

There’s one drawback to rural life.

In Bai Ran’s heart, her confidence that the person her father knows could restore Zhan Lan’s eyesight was not as strong as she outwardly appeared.

At that moment, the flow of true energy within Zhan Changfeng’s body grew ever stronger, and during the tempering of her dantian, it forged itself into a giant sword. In that instant, her essence, spirit, and energy reached a peak of concentration, and she wielded the sword, slashing it toward her dantian.

Yet Mu Nan was slightly surprised to find a snow spirit fox cub here.

Although his medical fees were often high—sometimes requiring other forms of payment or favors in exchange—when it came to matters of life and death, money hardly mattered.

“He suffers, and he knows my suffering too.” Tears streamed down Yuzhang’s face, staring dazedly at the swaying kite, unable to speak through her sobs.

Feng Yulou blinked, gently rubbing the warm hand against her face, feeling its warmth. Suddenly, she realized something was off—how could there be warmth in a dream?

Their group looked grim; the shadow of the previous battle was deeply etched into their hearts.

That once arrogant man was still just a useless fool, confirming her decision had been right all along.

Qian Ji, standing nearby, showed no surprise; this matter wasn’t enough to stir his heart.

“It’s simple.” Bai Yi smiled, then abruptly tossed Zhang Xiaoqi into the sea well.

But the squad leader felt he couldn’t accept Xia Li’s things; this child had endured much hardship for the squad.

That day at the restaurant, they met briefly. Xu Mei mentioned it, but meeting her was nothing worth discussing.

Greyn guessed it. Perhaps this was the news Queen Eleanoir had told him—the prince of the Black Forest was engaged to the princess of Apodoli. Everyone else pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

If anyone tried to retaliate against her in secret or trip her up, she was ready to deal with them all at once.

Every soldier was grateful to Greyn and to Trinville. Thanks to them, First Squad received unprecedented praise and reverence.

She married Yu Guanyue without a wedding, hardly interacted with the Yu family, and didn’t know any of their relatives.

Thus, everyone knew they had a secret recipe, but what it contained remained a mystery—no one had ever figured it out.

Sang Xu, like a cat playing with a mouse, intensified his mental pressure. Watching Shen An’s face grow paler and sweat bead on his forehead, he smiled wickedly.

Looking at Shen An sitting in the back of the hovercar, chin propped up, turning to gaze at him, Su He’s mood improved again.

After lying on her desk for a while, Xue Cen lazily got up and glanced at the empty classroom.

Who could have predicted the media would discover the matter, twisting the story completely away from the truth, leading to Shen Wei’s current beliefs.

Once the recitation ended, everyone in the venue stared blankly; all the complicated expressions vanished, and they now looked at Yu Liang as if he were a sage.

Driving along the bustling streets, Shen Wei wasn’t bothered; she sat in the back seat, head turned, gazing out the window in a daze. She didn’t know why she suddenly felt compelled to invite Si Xian to dinner, and the whole way, neither spoke a word.

“No buts. Just go. I’ll be fine after a rest.” Si Xian still refused to let Liu Wen take him to the hospital—he hated that place most, it was the hardest for him to endure.
