Chapter 50: Contraceptive Decoction

Two sounds, two distinct voices, suddenly rang out in the ears of every soldier. "Run!" The two hundred soldiers who had been rallied back could take it no longer and began their mass flight once more. The personal guards were also breaking down, and many wavering guards, swept up in the general panic, fled in all directions into the pitch-black night.

During the days when the engineering team was working in the Longkun fields, the men of Jiahe Village also worked with extraordinary vigor, their shouts echoing intermittently without stopping.

Finally, in the afternoon, Liren saw that the time was growing late, and remembering the county magistrate's mention of General Ruan, he immediately ordered his men to clear the way and head straight for the government office.

This delighted A Fa's peers—his older and younger brothers and sisters—who rushed over to set off firecrackers. While arranging them, A Fa secretly plucked a string of small firecrackers to put in his pocket, intending to light them one by one later with a lighter.

To the great frustration of both Jin Jie and Wang Jin, before the guns could even be brought over, the target had already rushed out of the Bat Bar.

In truth, while others considered Ye Bai's logic to be unreliable, Ye Bai himself did not see any problem with it at all. His logic was simply to follow his heart in everything.

Seeing Chen Xinghai acting like a madman, patting and kneading the old commander, he could only smile bitterly inside. He racked his brains, searching through everything he had seen, learned, and heard, yet could find not the slightest trace of any such medical treatment.

He tried to start the machine, but it had grown very cold due to the weather, and after trying for a long time, it refused to start. It seemed he would have to use boiling water to raise the temperature.

Gu Xunbai's lips curved into a quiet, hidden smile as he watched Yadong's unyielding spirit with deep appreciation. Stroking his white beard, he turned and silently departed. The sun slipped quietly down behind the western mountains, dyeing the western sky in a brilliant glow of colorful clouds. Yadong, Tulage, and Heige ran down the mountain and headed home.

After a momentary daze, Domoto Leyu looked at him with eyes that gradually grew infatuated—looking no different from a lovesourced maiden.

After circling the city twice, seeing that it was already midday, Li Hu noticed monks distributing porridge at the street corner and, struck by a sudden thought, walked over to inquire about Monk Hui.

Yang Du desperately wanted to say, "It doesn't matter, just charge it to someone else's head," but he had a vague feeling that this was also Eastern Xia's indirect way of verifying identities to ensure security. If he flatly refused, it might arouse suspicion.

In the next instant, he directly crossed the Second-Grade Origin King realm, reaching the peak of the Third-Grade Origin King realm.

Thus, unable to persuade the other party in the end and instead being persuaded himself, Daniel had no choice but to take Feng Yu along with him as they set off.

Just like Tianjing, the air traffic control in Dijing was extremely strict. To prevent reconnaissance ships sent by New Asia from entering the Dijing star system, all navigational routes within the comet cloud shell of this star system were densely packed with monitoring satellites.

Although Qinghuashang wielded a long spear, he was not a defensive class; his health and defense were not exceptionally high, and his offensive output was simply ferocious. He could not sustain a long battle against this Earth-God-tier boss—if I were there, it would be a completely different story.

"It's him?" Yu Yang, situated within the void, peered through a layer of dim light to see the old man outside, a spark of understanding dawning on his face.

"A cultivator who uses a fan is this powerful?" White-Browed also observed Yun Ye's performance, and at that moment, he seemed deep in thought.

At this moment, Du Ziping felt a stabbing, unbearable pain throughout his entire body and hurriedly circulated the Transforming Dragon Art to protect his heart vessels. A moment later, several cracking sounds were heard, and the five-clawed golden dragon into which Du Ziping had transformed split apart, turning to flying ash amidst the flames.

"The Empire's strength..." Hearing this, Chengyi finally understood. Indeed, if the Empire had not been involved in this, how could this so-called village ever have been built right above this canal?

Hua Lingling had once daydreamed as well, but dreams were ultimately just dreams. Because she had no sons, she bore no pressure to buy a house or a car, and she felt no special obsession with money. If she wasn't going to get super-rich, then so be it; if she ever contracted some illness requiring a fortune to cure, she would just take matters into her own hands.

"Thank you." Ning Zhen sat down and glanced at Gu Qing, who was sitting next to Shen Yanzhi. The other person did not look at her, but instead turned her head to say something to Chen Mann.

Gazing into those brown eyes, when he smiled at you, it was enough to make your heart skip a beat.

She looked at the room door, watching the light from the hallway seep in from beneath the crack, feeling somewhat absent-minded. Inopportunely, Chen Mann's words echoed in her mind: even without romantic feelings, simply sleeping with Shen Yanzhi purely for the physical experience didn't seem like a loss at all.

She thought she had completely broken free from the cage of her past, but as these matters were brought up once again at this very moment, she realized ripples were still stirring within her heart.

That evening, just as Gu Qing was preparing to cook herself a packet of instant noodles, she received a message from Shen Yanzhi.

The bamboo leaves, sticky rice, and peanuts had been soaking ahead of time. Once Chao Mingyue washed the bamboo leaves clean and rinsed the sticky rice a few extra times, Hua Lingling finally emerged lazily from the main hall, yawning and stretching. Having spent the entire morning sitting and watching television, her lower back felt sore and stiff.

As she scrolled through the feed, she felt a surge of jealousy. Not only was Ye Jiujiu terrifyingly popular, but the comments under every single trending search were uniformly positive.

Hearing about a rear-end collision over the phone, He Dan instantly grew tense. Ning Zhen was the biggest star under her management; had today not required someone to come over early to handle arrangements, she definitely would have been the one accompanying her. She never expected that just a momentary lapse in supervision would lead to such a massive incident.

As for the kind of lizard inside his mother's previous yellow stone, he actually disliked it quite a bit, feeling that it looked somewhat repulsive and unappealing.

In the morning light, the man's face was sullen, his eyes brimming with murderous intent, as if he had long since grown impatient from waiting.

At that moment, Bai Xia sat before her draft sketches. She still had several manuscripts due by the end of the month, but she currently had zero mood to rush her work. Resting her chin in her hand, she sat on the balcony, staring fixedly at the villa opposite, wishing she could immediately rush over to retrieve her cat.

This path had already begun—ever since the battle against the Golden-Armored Heavenly God within the tribulation clouds, it had already begun.
