Chapter 124: Bad Habits

This time, Xie Lin really did remain conscious throughout the medicinal bath, just as he had promised.

When it was time to return to his room, he insisted on walking on his own, brushing off Gu Zhuo’s attempts to support him.

"I can walk by holding onto the wall just fine now," Xie Lin said unhurriedly. "The acupuncture and the medicinal baths are both quite effective. And the prescription you wrote—I’ve only been taking it for a few days, but I already feel less frail than before."

Speaking of which...

Gu Zhuo began, "There is one more thing to—"

Just as Long Yu and Yan Lang thought they had escaped the attention of the "monster," the situation changed abruptly. Two giant pincers erupted from the water and, before either beast could react, each pincer snatched up one of them.

After chatting for a while, the waiter brought over eight cold dishes. Because they were in the Sichuan-West style, the plates were filled with bright red chili peppers at first glance.

With such an incident occurring on their own turf, the faces of the top brass in the Security Brigade turned ghastly pale.

If Mi Tu had known that he would later be severely "disciplined" by Long Yu, one wonders what his thoughts would have been at that moment.

Regardless of how the battle progressed, a reserve force had to be kept in hand—this was something Chief of Staff Jacob had specifically instructed before their departure. It wasn’t a matter of seeking to expand their gains, but rather to ensure that someone could guard the brothers' retreat should an accident occur on the battlefield.

Liu Jia was highly efficient; she spent two days reshuffling all the courses and teachers, and even kept all the instructors for a trial lecture on the night before classes began, not even sparing Li Jingzong or Yang Yu.

It was her first blind date ever, so she was inevitably nervous. He Fan was quite talkative and a natural at leading the conversation, moving from the delicious food on the table to her personal preferences. Bit by bit, her tense nerves finally began to relax.

The troops lacked for nothing in terms of food and clothing, and they received three and a half silver coins as pocket money every month, making every day feel as lively as the New Year. While others spent their money on snacks, Hei Shan saved all of his, waiting for a chance to bring it home to his family.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to eavesdrop. It’s just that there are some things regarding Zi Ye that I want to discuss with you—with her consent, of course." A Qiu felt very awkward, as the matter she had to discuss was by no means pleasant, but Mo Lan had to face it eventually.

Although he had said he would return to the hospital, Ye Shucheng never actually appeared there in the following days. Rita stayed with Su Nian the whole time, but Su Nian still began to grow anxious.

Jiang Yu asked Gu Cheng to organize his economic strategy, as he prepared to test its implementation on Uranus and Neptune as well.

"We come from the County of Edessa. It is the territory of the Baldwin family, located on the upper reaches of the Euphrates River. I went there last summer and lived there for a year."

After all, now that he was a billionaire, it really didn't look right to keep wearing the watch Luo Manhua had given him.

After only three or four needles, Madam Sun finally showed signs of life; she opened her eyes languidly and struggled to pull herself up from the floor.

"All right, one serving of 'Beef Taunt' coming right up!" Ling Qingqing brandished her spatula, sweating profusely over the stove.

After the plane took off, Jiang Yu caught sight of the darkness receding from the horizon, along with two shooting stars hidden within the veil of the night.

Four days later, they were set to face the challenge of the Serie A team Chievo. He knew that for their team to defeat the opponent would be extremely difficult; a Serie B team facing a Serie A team was already at a massive disadvantage in terms of innate momentum. Yet, even so, Allegri wanted to see if a miracle might occur.

As for Zhang Sanbao and Gu Zhengrong, who had always stood by Qin Feng, they ultimately said nothing. At this moment, words were pale and powerless.

At this time, they were sitting in the back of the classroom with the others, maintaining distance from the freshmen participating in the selection to prevent cheating.

"I am Beidou Shaoyan. On behalf of the many cultivators of the Qili Realm, I pay my respects to Elder Fang Tongtian." Hearing this, Shaoyan realized the extraordinary nature of Fang Tongtian—he was actually a Venerable, and had stayed in the Qili Realm for many years, all for the sake of the second opening of the ancient cave.
