Chapter Fifty-Four: The Doctor Is Astonished!

"Water," Yan Xuan uttered, his voice weak. Tang Xueying hurriedly poured a glass, anxiously checking the temperature and searching for his usual preferences, before carefully bringing it to his lips.

He drank more than half the glass in one breath, feeling as though he had been saved.

"Sis, Yingying, I made you both worry. I'm all right now," Yan Xuan said with a wide grin.

...

The falcon stood taller than a man, powerfully built and strikingly beautiful. It perched among the reeds, its massive talons gripping a cluster of feathery stalks, standing there as if weightless, swaying gently with the breeze.

The Suns launched another attack. Li Mojie had just taken his position when Bledsoe, after handing the ball to Middleton, set a pick with Markieff and pulled the defender toward the left corner. At that moment, Middleton bounced the ball to Frye, whose mid-range shot missed the basket.

Meng Nan pointed at the dense rows of gun barrels on either side of the ship. Compared with the main cannon, those guns seemed almost docile, yet their caliber was still over fifty centimeters in diameter.

Even as they headed back, their eyes kept straying toward the battleship, curiosity getting the better of them.

Thanatos sensed that his usually gentle younger brother had grown more assertive, perhaps a change prompted by his own departure. Such growth was something Thanatos was pleased to witness.

One phone call, and the shop owner came hustling over with the delivery. Payment was made instantly by mobile, and the owner assured them that in the future, anything they needed would be delivered at the first call.

Perona had thought her subordinates, the zombies, had fallen because their shadows had been taken by Moria. Now, it seemed that was not the case.

To kill the emperor's personal eunuch and the imperial guards dispatched by him was tantamount to treason. Once exposed, even if Xie Yu was a marquis of the first rank, he wouldn't escape a death sentence. That was why Xie Yu absolutely would not stand by and watch Yue Xiuzhe challenge Zhuo Dingfeng.

However, Ye Fei was actually looking forward to seeing if Blackflame would undergo some rare transformation. Having obtained the Dragon God's blood infused with fragments of soul, he wondered whether these fragments would have any effect on him.

But upon hearing that Yang Jichang had been kicked into the water by Jun Li, and seeing the drenched, humiliated Yang Jichang pulled from the river, the Yang family realized their earlier schemes were doomed to fail. Furious at Jun Li's cunning and Yang Jichang's incompetence, they were at a loss for what to do next.

The old man grew weary after just a little movement. Doctor Si wiped a bit of sweat from his brow and approached with a smile.

Because of what happened with Hua Xue, Hua Li already harbored resentment toward Zhu Yi. Now, with Zhu Yi openly leading people to attack Hua Sanlang, even though Hua Li disliked Hua Sanlang, she couldn't stand seeing Zhu Yi act so brazenly.

He Xuan glanced up and saw that Liao Yong's expression was calm and cold, completely lacking the warmth and kindness she was used to.

Lingxi had to admit that the man before her possessed not only exceptional looks but remarkable bearing as well. Unfortunately, she did not love him.

Only now did Jun Li realize how ridiculous her sense of superiority as a modern person seemed in the face of reality. She took comfort in the fact that she had become the former Jun Li; had she become Gu Xiangxiang instead, who could say what might have happened?

Yet today, just a few words from the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, as biting as the northern wind, brought Lingxi's soaring heart swiftly back to earth.

The "Comrade Fish," highly respected among the demonic sect, looked blankly from father and son to Leng Chenran and his apprentice.

The wicked smile vanished from Liu Feng's face as he straightened his posture, ready to charge through thousands of troops and dominate the battlefield. Yet the opponent had hung out a sign offering truce, leaving Liu Feng somewhat crestfallen.

But knowing full well this child lacked any sense of security and had come to see her as his mother, she realized that telling the truth now would be far too cruel.
