Chapter 194 Not Married

"You still dare to speak?"

Xue Qiang looked at Lu Fei with utter disdain, as if gazing at a dead man. Showing disrespect to the Xu family was something he could never tolerate; Lu Fei had to die.

Lu Fei walked past him and helped Su Xingruo's parents to their feet.

"Benefactor, it's all my fault. I've implicated you. Let them drain all my blood instead."

......

Overwhelmed by the pain, I rolled over onto my side, after which total darkness consumed me. I could only feel the warm blood from my lower body gushing out endlessly, while the child seemed to slip away piece by piece.

Xia Anling flashed a sweet smile. "Ruoyu asked me to do a routine checkup every year, so here I am." Her slender fingers placed her pure white smartphone onto the dark brown desk. The screen was lit up, and a photograph of Gu Ruoyu and Xia Anling pierced deeply into Jing Yunxin's eyes. The happy, sweet pair looked exceptionally well-matched.

Pity that by the time the call went through, it was already too late—Gu Zhiyi had long since preempted him and snatched the person away. Even lawyers had their dark sides; some exploited their rich legal knowledge and silver tongues to loop through legal loopholes, helping criminal suspects evade punishment.

He had originally assumed that Lin Chen was fighting an immortal-martial powerhouse like Wang Long without any external assistance—otherwise, how could Lin Chen have struggled so much against Wang Long? Moreover, according to the information obtained from Long Tian, Lin Chen indeed had not brought any helpers along.

Lu Liangjing thought I was joking and mocked me over the phone for having a three-minute attention span. She said I refused to enjoy a comfortable life and instead insisted on wading into the murky waters of society.

Dongfang Ruxue took out her phone to check the time, only to find that it had water damage and wouldn't turn on at all.

Jing Yunxin lowered her head, forcibly swallowing the heartache within her, and swept a cold expression past his disappointed face. After a long silence, she prepared to slip away quietly.

Some things will never truly be understood until they happen to oneself. Yet, I could still perceive the genuine affection he held for Qingcheng in his eyes.

Guo Erneng wept and said, "Master Hu is no ordinary person; I simply couldn't plant the bugs." I had no intention of holding him accountable for failing to plant the bugs, seeing as both of them were merely hired hands.

During these past few days, Qin Menglan had been unable to find a single reflective object—even the scissors and knives had vanished. Coupled with the fear shown by the surrounding maidservants, growing unease gnawed at her heart.

Mental communication, however, had nothing to do with the strength of one's spiritual power; it was merely a technique. It depended entirely on whether one could discover and skillfully control their spiritual power, commanding it as naturally as moving an arm.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't see anything." Under Lucy's glare, Ouyang Qing showed no fear whatsoever, instead chuckling as he spoke.

The flames surged violently, and the Wind Witch felt a burning sensation on her ear. She instinctively reached out to touch it, only to find that a stray spark had scorched away half of her ear.

He understood their master; the master loved his wife with all his heart, and unless every other path of survival had been cut off, he would never have resorted to this last resort. To end the life of the one he loved most with his own cold sword—the agony of such an act would crush everyone involved.

"Hello, Professor Sycamore." Inside the research institute, Green met Sycamore, who, despite his youth, was already a regional professor.

However, the Sigilyph struck by the Ice Beam slowly descended, feathers fluttering around its wings—Roost, which temporarily dispelled its Flying type and restored its stamina. Coupled with the Special Defense previously boosted by Cosmic Power, the Sigilyph managed to avoid being knocked out by the legendary Pokémon's blow.

Putting that aside for a moment, physicians who achieved notable results at the Medical Gathering and were bestowed with official titles would receive a stipend from the imperial dynasty every year, entering the revered ranks of the imperial realm's renowned doctors. With fame and fortune both within reach, very few people were immune to such an allure.

Feeling the piercing chill, she surprisingly did not experience the dizziness usually brought on by the intense magnetic field. Perhaps the magnetic field in this region had dropped to a safe threshold by now.
