Volume One, Chapter 56: The Secret to Having a Baby Boy
Everyone was preoccupied with the baby's gender, yet no one noticed the child's peculiar state.
“This child doesn’t cry.”
When Lin Ranyan realized this, she was shocked.
Dog Egg’s mother broke down in even more desperate sobs!
To have given birth to a girl was already bad enough, but this one seemed witless—such misfortune, she thought, that the child might as well have died on the spot.
In this world, martial prowess was revered above all, and warriors' obsession with a divine weapon sometimes bordered on madness.
Yet, when he had the chance to sink the ball into the middle pocket, his hands fumbled awkwardly; the cue slipped, and the 3-ball shot off at a crooked angle.
Although some beings, after death, would become wandering souls for various reasons—and even without restored consciousness, their instinct to seek fortune and avoid danger remained. Previously, there had been some powerful souls deeper in the shadows, but upon sensing the aura Sword Nine exuded, they retreated into even greater depths.
No one here was a fool—especially not the top experts. By now, they clearly saw that someone was deliberately targeting Tangxi House. This contest was beyond their ability to interfere with; above all, it was the adversary’s strength that mattered.
“Roar.” When the Flame Dragon saw White Dragon Chant attacking, it snorted with disdain, spread its jaws, and unleashed a torrent of fire, surging toward White Dragon Chant.
“Why are you jealous? We’re only husband and wife in name; we have none of the substance—how can you count it as real?” Wu Yong teased her on purpose.
Huang Xuanling, deeply vexed, could only thrust his spear behind him, channeling his thunder energy into it, forming an electric web at his back.
“You’re not going to play tricks on me again, are you?” Old Lady Chen, still uneasy, pressed the question further.
Hearing Qin Wushuang’s words, Lin Yifeng couldn’t help but click his tongue in secret. By her account, acquiring a truly fine alchemy furnace was anything but easy.
Before Pei Qihu’s eyes, a shadow suddenly appeared, wielding a mechanical spear and clad in battle armor.
Then, someone watched as Nan Qianqian and Qiao Guoyong haggled at length, and, to their amazement, actually drove the price down.
He didn’t know whether this incident had been the final blow to her mother, sending her into madness and causing her to leap to her death.
“Tyrant, I may not be able to kill you today, but even in death I will never let you go!” Yuan Bi roared in fury.
“Your brother is a demon, don’t you remember?” Eros’s expression was as calm as a summer cloud, with a hint of opportunism.
Eros, meanwhile, fulfilled her duties as adjutant, having already arranged lodging for the Sakura Blade Society—after all, the Golden Cat Bathhouse was spacious enough to accommodate everyone without difficulty.
With open arms, Zhenzhen watched as Shengcheng Yu’s frown finally melted into a smile, his strong arms wrapping her into his chest.
The gods’ secret arts could never be shared; otherwise, some deities would long since have become invincible.
Just as dawn broke and the sky turned pale, You Baiyi suddenly opened his eyes, staring fixedly at the window.
Li Chongsheng, however, waved his hand for everyone to rise, saying that the demon was not an ordinary mortal. Failing to catch him was understandable.
Someone had just posted on the forum a candid photo they’d taken of Yu Yao during her visit—captioned “too beautiful.”
At the same time, the Clumsy Daoist led his squad in a flanking maneuver, naturally drawing away some of the enemy’s firepower.
Burning with rage and vowing to destroy Chen Mu, Chen Chichi had only run a short distance before realizing no one was holding him back. Like a punctured balloon, he looked back at Li Chen, who was hiding far away, his eyes filled with pitiful longing.
Even the six great powers, each protected by formidable beings, could do nothing about Jiang Yun, who hid away on Earth. The transcendent ones could only retreat.
