Chapter 82: The Feng Family Alliance

Facing Director Guo’s stubbornness, Qin Yu found himself at a loss. Deep down, Qin Yu could understand Director Guo’s perspective; after all, these Western doctors lacked the ability to examine patients independently and had to rely on instruments. Yet, while machines could scan the entire body, they might still miss potential illnesses or less significant conditions. Ultimately, the only thing capable of revealing the whole truth of a person’s health was the patient themselves.

...

If ordinary energy crystals were considered civilian-grade, then second-level energy crystals belonged to the military, with many firearms and weapons powered by these higher-grade crystals.

All sorts of wild, domineering, and bombastic rumors swirled about, but in truth, who would ever believe that the so-called demonic puppet master everyone feared was none other than this slightly eccentric, youthful boy standing before them now?

Soon after, it so happened that my royal mother became pregnant. Fearing another misfortune, from the very day she conceived, all matters were handled exclusively by his most trusted confidants.

“I don’t want to kill you either... but tell me—why must you be like this? Why, having Mu Junyi, did you still come after me?”

Tang Yao had no trouble detecting that he’d been drinking tonight, the faint scent lingering in the air, which also explained why he’d slept downstairs.

“It would be wonderful if it were twins, a boy and a girl.” At the mention of the baby, Shen Yunshu’s eyes grew gentle.

Jun Liangbo let out a sigh and said nothing more, but it was clear from his expression that he still wouldn’t give his consent.

For a moment, curses and blessings mingled in the air, but Yuan Qian and Lu Shaoyuan couldn’t be bothered to intervene, simply leaving the remainder of the matter in Xingchen’s hands.

Jiao Qiang slumped into his chair, every ounce of strength seeming to drain from his body, his mind a tangled mess.

Qin Ming’s heart was filled with suspicion. Three elders from the Star Palace, plus the leader of the Zhou Tian Star Palace—by the sound of it, only Lu Taihao, the chief disciple, was missing. This arrangement, resembling a three-court tribunal, hardly looked like a welcoming committee for his arrival at the Gouchen Star Palace.

At this time, since the examinees had yet to finish entering, Qin Fei had no choice but to sit on his bed, close his eyes, and rest.

The thought that this body was still a virgin left Qin Fei a bit frustrated. He had no intention of losing his virginity to some common woman at a brothel, so although he had come here, he’d never actually visited one.

England was not only after Portugal’s golden markets, but also sought to avoid a repeat of history—left helplessly on the defensive when attacked by an invincible armada, fighting alone with no allies.

“Everyone, charge together—!” Sir John mounted his horse, following a few tribal warriors, and roared the command to the militiamen behind him.

If there was anything that set him apart from other priests, it was his piercing gaze and flat stomach; if one looked closely, a shrewd air radiated from him, inside and out.

The refugee woman slowly approached us, her long hair veiling her face so we couldn’t make out her features. When she was still about twenty meters from our seaside villa, she suddenly collapsed.

“I...” Kuang felt stifled. In truth, Xu Huinan had been right about one thing—this trouble was of his own making.

Everyone observing Lin Shao was frozen in shock. Their instruments had just registered an energy level at its absolute maximum, only to witness all that powerful energy vanish in an instant. Now, the readings showed nothing more than a normal human with third-level release.

“Oh, you’re back... um, are you alright?” Uncle Qi pointed at Yun Yun’s forehead. Seeing Yun Yun shake her head, he coughed awkwardly, seeming a bit hesitant.

She lacked Lu Fan’s memory and perception, and thus had no idea that these three Boots were just a passerby Lu Fan had met on the road, and that their name had been learned by overhearing a conversation.

“The monster didn’t want to lose face, that’s why it said such things.” Wang Mian looked at the creature. Its very existence was already far beyond what most people could have imagined.
