Chapter 43: The Pampering from the Protectors (Cordially inviting book lovers from all walks of life to co-create a new world)

Not two days after Yi Ronghua and his wife returned from visiting relatives, more guests arrived at the house.

Just as eldest sister-in-law Mou Decong had anticipated, both maternal aunts had arrived, bringing along several of the younger children from their families.

Today happened to be the weekend, so Yi Rongkun had gone out to play with her nieces and nephews. To protect her, her third brother, Yi Rongqi, stayed close by their side.

By the time they returned to the courtyard around midday, the first thing that greeted them was the alluring aroma wafting from the kitchen, making the eyes of the younger children light up.

"We shall meet again." With a somewhat complex expression, He Xinyue gave this reply. Glancing at the disheveled Lie Gufeng, she said nothing more and returned alone to the airship.

Gradually, the sky grew gloomy. Night was descending once more, an irresistible force against which even the mighty sun was helpless.

"Aunt is resting in the Imperial Censor's estate. I truly wasn't tired, so I begged my older brother to bring me to see you, Sister. Father told me to return to the Imperial Censor's estate by evening," Shen Wan said, recalling Shen Zejing's instructions.

"Shh, this isn't military welfare. Ever since Youliu was rebuilt, due to the political background of our leadership up top, we've always been marginalized, and various material supplies have never been fully adequate."

Even though he knew the letter was merely a diversion fabricated by Ren Yaoxi to deceive the members of the Ren family, Xiao Jingxi still read it carefully, word by word.

Once the stone cover was removed, it revealed a spatial entrance just wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. Curious yet somewhat apprehensive, Zhu Xia stretched his head in to take a look. Seeing this, Ning Yu was about to speak out and stop him, but it was already too late; Zhu Xia had thrust his entire head inside.

The topic of the meeting was how to launch a major counter-offensive. Yet, while the various Federation bigwigs discussed it heatedly for half the day, Xu Cangqiong simply sat off to the side without saying a word, as if the matter had nothing to do with him at all.

If this blood-red radiance and Wu Zhengxie's second punch were to land solidly, Xiong Yuan would undoubtedly die on the spot; even as a god-tier powerhouse, he could not escape death.

Lin Xiaoxiao cast a disdainful glance at Wen Liangqing, said nothing more, and lowered her head to eat.

"Boss, this is a questionnaire that Yueli just sent over..." Han Luo handed a freshly compiled questionnaire to Ling Yichen.

"It's fine, it's fine! Being able to rest our feet here and eat two hot meals is already something to be deeply grateful for!" These words came straight from my heart. In this apocalyptic world, no one has any obligation to take you in, and if people are willing to host us for a few days, that's already more than kind enough.

True to Cui Ling's expectations, although Cui Jin insisted on dividing the family estate, he did not forcefully demand that the uncles of the other branches move out of the residence.

"Go on, get close to the zombie and observe its reaction. I'll watch from outside the door." Dr. Ali gave me a gentle nudge, and I marched spiritedly and proudly into the laboratory.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has always wanted to gain the recognition of the Martial Ancestor, but failed to achieve his wish. Furthermore, he grew dissatisfied that my father-in-law managed to obtain that recognition, and later simply turned to socializing with Taoists. The current Grand Preceptor was recommended by him."

Cui Ling was startled and hurriedly turned around, only to catch sight of a breathtakingly peerless face—it was none other than the reigning emperor.

Within the maze, the giant snake smashed the illusory rocks to pieces. Combined with the heavy rain, which was already unfavorable to the formation, the thick fog inside began to dissipate.

Now, the father whom she had once resented, despised, and treated with cold indifference was lying here just as quietly.

As I was keeping Shuishuai company at home in the afternoon reading picture books, someone rang the doorbell downstairs. Peering through the peephole, I saw it was actually a young mother living in Unit 2 of Building 6. Her child was named Maidou, so everyone simply called her Maidou's Mom.

Yet, upon second thought, wasn't Lin Feng's luck simply too incredible? He had scored a headshot on Chen Yue from miles away. Could it be that he was actually an unfathomably skilled master, quietly carrying them to victory?

Looking at this bank card number, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, unable to speak for quite a while.

When she had left the café earlier, she had driven Xiao Mengya's car to the rendezvous. However, she never expected that while she was driving here, this incident would occur.
