Chapter 23: An Amusing Incident

Sheng Qingyun, however, had no desire to linger. "I won't stay. I have matters to attend to. My aunt has just fallen asleep after the acupuncture session, so I shouldn't disturb her further." With these words, he stepped aside and prepared to leave.

This move was incredibly powerful. Modified by the cough-blood clan, it was specifically designed to counter superpowered individuals. Kizaru had once taken this hit and was scattered instantly, though he didn't suffer much injury, of course.

The young man nodded, thanking the three of them for intervening to save him. Sheng Qingyun and his companions waved their hands with a smile, signaling that it was of no concern and that no thanks were necessary.

As Sheng Qingyun entered the ward, several familiar physicians greeted him. The doctors from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department were also present, smiling and saying they wanted to learn from him. Sheng Qingyun exchanged pleasantries before being led to the bedside by Gu Jiang.

Although it was uncertain whether Vegapunk could still extract the lineage factor of a Devil Fruit from the severed arm, it was better to destroy it just in case.

Leading the group was Qin Beiyang, followed by the old Arab assassin, then A-You, Dad, A-Hai, Tuohuan, Ghost Mask, as well as a Pole, a Yugoslav, a Turk, an Indian, an African, and a Korean—the last of whom Qin Beiyang had encountered on the heights of Montmartre.

"What is there to worry about? The defensive power of Brother Qingyun's portable immortal abode is extremely formidable. Could that thing really break through its defenses?" Zhong Ying said nonchalantly.

That afternoon, Chen Jiesheng's ten thousand cavalrymen arrived at Jiayu Pass. Under his orders, they began clearing the dilapidated pass and establishing sufficient defensive measures.

No sooner had Xie Jingxiu stepped out of the palace gate than he heard the streets buzzing with discussion. It seemed everyone knew that Xie Keyan was blessed with an exceptional destiny; it was said that even when she entered the palace, fish, birds, and beasts came to offer her gifts.

"The Sovereign also wishes to summon you," Ye Youyou said, setting aside some of the letters of invitation she had been holding.

In other words, unless the intelligence was of significant importance, Wang Jing and the others couldn't be bothered to understand these natives.

Lin Yunyi took a deep breath and exhaled, barely accepting the reality. Regret was useless anyway; he only had himself to blame for being foolish enough to take a peek. Not to mention that entering the ruins wasn't necessarily a bad thing; at the very least, it indicated his luck wasn't entirely poor.

"Your Majesty! This imperial physician! This imperial physician! He is simply!" Jing Qingran pointed at the doctor, but found herself unable to find the words to finish her sentence.

After experiencing the twists of fate, the hardships of life, and a series of incredible events, the protagonist, the Carefree Emperor, finally achieved true maturity and learned to cherish all life even more.

Some are born with the destiny of emperors, but the vast majority are destined to be mere ants—one more or one less makes no difference to the grand scheme.

Even the exquisite sensation of the recent kiss vanished into thin air like wisps of smoke.

However, he dared not openly refuse. Duan Na was his leader and his benefactor; by all accounts, he could not defy his orders.

Zhou Qingyun did not elaborate on his relationship with the Zhou family, and no one asked, but when the members of the Zhou family saw him, their eyes were filled with disdain and mockery.

With that, Ziyang produced ten maps of the Ziyuan Continent, handed them over, and used his magical power to transport them to the Western Wilderness.

Zheng Zha wiped the cold sweat from his forehead caused by the heavy depletion of his internal energy and panted softly.

On the city wall, Zhang Tong drew the longbow from his back and aimed at the lieutenant leading the Jiujiang army's assault. The arrow whistled through the air, piercing the officer's neck and leaving a bloody, gaping hole.

The senior sister seemed to lose her composure. She glanced at Yang Qingshan, turned abruptly, mounted her jade lion, and fled in a panic.

The army of the Bafi Empire was clearly well-prepared. The magic crystal cannons roared the very second the enemy entered their range. Brilliant, high-powered beams of light shot into the sky. Even though the Holy Cross Knights attacking the city were the elite of the elite, they were mowed down in droves under the devastating firepower of the cannons.

Huhai sat on the dragon throne, resting his chin on his hand, contemplating whether he should heed Zhao Gao's advice to execute Wang Ming and Chen Zongzheng. Outside the hall, four guards entered, seized the two men, and dragged them away.

The ancient castle was indeed filled with peril. Lin Feng felt that if they were even slightly careless, they would be immediately surrounded by powerful foes.

Beside him, Lin Yueyao seemed lost in thought. He called her name several times before she reacted, looking at him with a dazed expression.

"Tsinghua or Peking University? Really?" Uncle Gao was stunned. He never expected a boy from a mountain village to reach such a pinnacle—the ultimate path for countless students.

At this, everyone was shocked. Being asked to come up was no ordinary gesture; the seat on the stage was reserved for those with the rank of at least a Major General. What could it mean for him to be invited up?

Ever since that last punch, he could feel the aura of his opponent changing, like a lion awakening from slumber, suppressing its rage while its deep blue eyes remained fixed on him without a flicker.

What is the role of a support? The role of a support is to protect the ADC, reduce the damage they sustain, or create opportunities for their own ADC to kill the enemy heroes.

Therefore, Qin Zheng did not want a Snake-level operative who had only gotten in through connections to participate in his mission and add variables to the operation.

Under the deception of the invaders, these collaborators abandoned their Chinese nationality and became true puppets of the enemy.

The Fire Dragon Treasure Armor was not a complete magical artifact, but merely one stage of the Imperial Ancestral Dragon Armor. Much like the progression from a dragon egg to a hatchling and finally to an adult dragon, it required traversing several stages before eventually becoming a Celestial-grade Imperial Ancestral Dragon Armor.

"Thank you, President Su." Upon hearing Su Cheng's final words, Luo Jing was startled, then revealed a look of great joy and hurriedly bowed to Su Cheng.

The next second, the dog-headed monster flew off at an angle like a cannonball, smashing heavily into a mountain range in the distance.

"Why are you all still here? Why aren't you rushing to seize the fortune? A true immortal herb has appeared in this ancient mine, containing the laws of the Dao. If consumed, one might achieve immortality on the spot!" someone shouted, calling to their companions in the ensuing chaos.

"As long as it's a real person voting, it's fine. He's just giving back to his fans." Director Ma had naturally seen it, but he had no intention of stopping it.

Shen Shuxin's face darkened. It was already remarkable enough that Shen Shiyi had the ability to buy property in Tianhai Bay and get Yingying into AN.
