Chapter 79: Ulala Grass and Teaching Children

As soon as Gu Tingzhou left, Sister-in-law Gu arrived carrying a large bundle filled with the children’s cotton-padded jackets and trousers. They were supposed to bring them back yesterday evening after dining at the old house, but had forgotten because of the incident with the younger sister-in-law. Today, Sister-in-law Gu had come especially to deliver them.

Li Qingyun took out the garments and tried them on Dabao. They were a little loose, with sleeves that could be rolled up, so he could wear them again next year. The waist was roomy, just right for wearing sweaters and inner layers, and the trousers were long, with an elastic design so they could be tightened in winter to keep out the cold. Because Li Qingyun had given four pounds of cotton, the clothes for Erbao, being smaller, required less material.

Her brother was afraid she would worry, so he lied, saying he was doing well, that he had enough to eat and drink, and got along with everyone. At this thought, Xia Zhi quickly shook her head, trying to stop such dreadful ideas from taking root in her mind.

Rong Qing could not, for the life of him, understand why his son seemed bewitched, utterly fixated on Qiao Anqing and no one else.

To his astonishment, he discovered that an unknown and sinister power had taken root within him.

Nearby, Cracker, covered in bruises and blood, sat slumped at the base of a massive boulder, his head hanging low—clearly unconscious. The wound on the right side of his face was especially horrific, and it seemed certain to leave a scar even when healed. The rest of the Bigo Pirate crew was gathered around him, all wearing dejected expressions.

Merlin called out once more, but this time his voice sounded much farther away. He had climbed a few steps along the mechanical arm, trying to put as much distance as possible between himself and Lorenzo.

“All right, everyone quiet down! This is a live broadcast. Don’t shake the television apart!” Signaling the audience to settle, Nie Yu turned to look at Qingxue.

Meanwhile, the noble alliance’s garrison on the ridge had retaken and restored the first artillery position. Still basking in their victory over the enemy, many had left their posts to the center of the road to reestablish barricades and traps.

Gu Jinsheng clearly hadn’t expected her actions and was visibly startled, his towering frame momentarily stiffening.

One could not deny how ruthless Qiao Anqing was with herself just to get close to Gu Jincheng. Yet, it was at least a relief that her pain was self-inflicted and not turned against society.

They were to compensate the three Japanese delegates with three hundred million Federal credits for injury and emotional damages, and at the same time demand the English royal family issue a public apology to Japan at a press conference.

As our group proceeded with our backs to Gu Feitong, a sudden, furious gleam flashed in his eyes.

The three beasts showed looks of terror and roared repeatedly, but their cries were drowned out by the raging flames. In an instant, the entire forest was transformed into a living hell.

This put the coordination of the formation to the test. All six of Yang Jun’s team took their places. Fortunately, their previous battle on Beiming Mountain had built some rapport among them, and the formation came together smoothly enough.

At the start of class, Mr. Lan noticed that Lu Mingxuan didn’t look well. Now, seeing her struggling, he assumed she was unwell. Since Lu Mingli’s dress was also soiled and needed changing, he dismissed everyone early, saying, “We’ll make up the missed half-hour tomorrow if there’s time, and that’s the end of it.”

A strange light flickered in Yaju’s eyes. With her eyes closed, she seemed to bid farewell to this world completely.

“Yu Haochen, stop pinching the flesh on my waist! It really hurts!” Xia Yongning protested, turning to glare at him, and gave his hand a playful slap—though not very hard.

Su Yanchi looked haggard, his eyes bloodshot from lack of rest. Unlike the others, he didn’t surge forward but watched the two cars at the rear anxiously. As soon as he saw Wang Zhangzhu alight from Azheng’s car, he hurried over to greet her.

Suddenly, a wave of spiritual energy surged through her body, bringing relief to Yin Ningxuan’s weakness.

Luo Xue’er glanced at the Ice Fairy but said nothing. After all, the Ice Fairy’s words weren’t far from what she herself was thinking—she just hadn’t expected her to be so blunt.
