Volume 1, Chapter 43: Matters of the heart are never things I force.
Cheng Yan immediately asked with gentle concern, "Huaijing, how is Grandmother’s condition? While traditional Chinese medicine can be effective, one must be cautious not to use it indiscriminately; it is essential to consult a reliable physician."
Ghost infants, also known as spirit infants, refer to babies aborted before birth. Those filled with immense resentment are called ghost infants, while the others are spirit infants. The older the fetus at the time of abortion, the greater the resentment, and they will stop at nothing to kill their own mothers.
With just a tiny bit more spiritual energy transformed, he would finally be able to head to the headquarters of the Profound Sect to refine his power and truly ascend to the rank of a Profound Ancestor.
Iskandar stood alone in the wind, staring at the empty battlefield. A look of awkwardness crossed his rugged face, and he hesitated, unsure whether he should finish what he was saying.
Walking slowly across the grass were people dressed in uniform grey garments, each bearing a string of numbers printed on the chest.
Zhang Xing stopped talking and ate quietly, though he was a bit gluttonous, finishing two large bowls of rice and still finding time to snatch dishes away from Luo Jian.
In addition to finishing the chicken coop, Jianguo had also prepared dinner—the meal Zhang Xiaoxiao had requested: sorghum rice with pumpkin, accompanied by a stew of salted vegetables and cabbage. Because it was cooked with a bit of fat, the flavor was quite decent.
He wondered how, only two or three days after he had been at the medical clinic without any mention of a marriage proposal, such a thing could have come to pass.
At times, an inexplicable impulse would even arise in Su Muxin’s mind, wishing that Lin Yu could be her boyfriend.
She silently whispered Xiao Quan’s name in her heart, hoping he could hear her cries.
Once the stove was lit, she boiled a kettle of water for the children before starting to cook nearby. Meals in winter were not easy to prepare; due to the cold weather, she preferred warm, comforting food, like thick, fragrant sorghum porridge served with sweet potatoes.
Lin Qing lay on the blanket like a pile of mud, as if he had been deboned by a butcher, motionless as a corpse.

This was not about engaging in senseless brawls, especially not when it was obvious that one’s strength was inferior to the opponent's.
He swung the Hanyan Sword fiercely, the blade carrying a sharp, peerless light that tore through the air as it slashed down with manic intensity.
Yang Feng raised a hand, dousing everyone with a bucket of cold water—he actually forbade them from killing the intruders?
He hoped Ye Tiansheng would clearly recognize the reality before him and surrender, sparing everyone the trouble.
On the first day of the apocalypse, the magnificent ocean in the sky rained down spiritual sand, which was what they called antimatter energy.
My sister kept complaining, "You're dragging your feet, and now it's already dark. Next time, you can walk home yourself."
Seeing that An Shi had defeated the team of handsome vampires, Yu Xiao did not wait any longer and charged straight toward An Shi and An Bei.
Only yesterday, they had been bullied and tormented by Sun Heng; today, they had inexplicably taken his position, and they could not make sense of it.
The magnolia-shaped hidden weapons she had scattered across the floor earlier suddenly resonated, springing upward in unison.
