Volume 1, Chapter 36: I Am Indisposed

He suddenly found himself enjoying his current life.

In his previous existence, he had known only the clash of swords and half a lifetime of smoke and fire. Even when he turned to the world of commerce, he was incessantly busy, never once finding the time to start a family.

Never before had he experienced the warmth and happiness of having family, responsibilities, and the knowledge that someone was concerned for his well-being.

Waking as if from a dream, he realized only in this second life that the world, when one pauses to rest, is truly beautiful.

His young servant-wife, busy spinning thread, turned to see Li Chen. She quickly set down the thread, stood up, and offered a sweet smile. "My lord."

"Continue with your work."

Li Chen smiled, walked over, and sat beside her. He glanced at the spinning wheel and froze.

It was, in fact, an ancient single-spindle hand-cranked spinning wheel. This type of spinning...

Meanwhile, on the island of Australia, the numerous immortals who had been slowly retreating toward the coast were finally intercepted.

This happiness, however, did not come from nothing. When there was no one else to rely on, Zhang Bao had also been forced to handle everything himself. It was just that now he had weathered the worst of it, whereas Zhao Chen might not survive the ordeal.

"I did it on purpose. I ordered our hidden trebuchets to wait until the Tian Hu army's trebuchets had fired before launching a counterattack," Zhang Bao replied.

Wanyan Xieye was also deeply annoyed. "You were the ones clamoring for war, and now you are the ones who don't want to fight. What exactly do you want?" Facing Wanyan Xieye's roar, the others were speechless. After he finished venting, rumors began to spread among the Jin nobility that Wanyan Xieye intended to seek peace with the Song Dynasty.

Once the wine had been poured three times and the officers of the Jizhou camp had each paid their respects to Lin Shisheng, Captain Yuan dismissed the others, leaving only Lin Shisheng, Yuan Yan, and himself in the tent.

Her words immediately grabbed Su Ha's attention. The descendants of the Borjigin family of the Northern Lands had always been called the inheritors of the Wolf Lord's will, a title unchanged for hundreds of years.

The violent roar made the gaunt general’s eardrums ache. Seeing the Beast Clan chieftain swing his blade down, he had no time to think and immediately raised his long sword to block.

Shen Tingchuan thought this to himself, his brow furrowed. Given the situation with Ye Zeqi, it was truly difficult for him to say anything at this moment.

After some deliberation, Feng Yi decided that regardless of the circumstances, he should tell Old Du about this. He scanned his surroundings, and after confirming no one was near, he hurried away.

Until the dazzling white light vanished, Mu Zhen did not feel the lingering fear. If that light had been harmful, they would have had nowhere to escape.

"Don't move, let me see." After circling Bai Yu repeatedly, the old man finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"For her sake, I must obtain it. So that she can rest and nurture her pregnancy more securely, I must become the master of the Yin-Yang Star Realm. If I control the realm, then no one who enters it can harm a single hair on her head; no one will ever be able to bring her a moment of distress."

Bai Yu looked at the tree branches under Tie Jian’s hands. The sight almost made him laugh out loud—at the rate Tie Jian was rubbing the wood, he would never start a fire in this lifetime.

Instead, she squeezed the red envelope in her hand, weighing it while asking the man about the house.

It was not narcissism, but the bond of brotherhood shared over so many years, combined with Chen Mei's nature, that made it impossible for her to leave me behind and go off to play on her own.

The current era was the twilight of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, a time of warring factions and popular uprisings that filled the land with smoke and fire.

Suddenly hearing that sound, the black-clad men still locked in combat all trembled.

At the pinnacle of the Demon Temple, the Purple Forest Goddess immediately sensed something amiss, for around the temple, powers of teleportation and devouring suddenly manifested, accompanied by an intense murderous intent.

Along the way, Lin Zihan felt uneasy, fearing some change of fortune, but the journey was surprisingly safe. He encountered neither armies nor any ferocious beasts.

The moment the strange man vanished, Huijue felt his body recover.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was covered in various attacks. Almost all seven demons were wounded, but at this cost, Xie Changning’s offensive was also halted.

Ling Xian sighed, suddenly thinking that the power of time would not emerge without cause; there must be a secret treasure here, or perhaps it was a rule of the realm.

At this moment, his face was pale as paper, devoid of any color, and he looked utterly exhausted.

In fact, at this point, Han Dong and the others did not need his identification to confirm the old man’s identity.

Asha landed in a tree, her parachute snagging a few times before she fell to the ground. She quickly scrambled up and hopped about, discovering nothing was broken, only that her arms had been scratched by branches.

Her only hope was that this magical beast, transformed into a middle-aged man, could defeat it, but judging by the demon tiger's tone, that seemed unlikely.

"What a powerful soul, far exceeding the highest-grade Seven-Colored Nascent Soul." The mushroom vibrated, but upon reflection, it felt relieved.

That piece of Green Nether Dragon Flower, which he had obtained with such great effort, had only restored fifty percent of his divine soul.

In the blink of an eye, a star-light suddenly flashed from within the prairie fire into which Lin Rushi had infused his will, followed by a surge of power that left all the Great Cultivators of the Divided Spirit stage stunned.

He had refined the origin power of the stars many times; which time had not been agonizing, leaving him nearly dead from his injuries?

A gaming handheld was in her grip, and as she manipulated it, certain dazzling elements continued to leap across the screen.

Bai Rong was relieved that he and his sworn brother were tied together by this immortal; at the very least, he had not been separated from him.

With the owner's consent, the production crew installed cameras in some public areas, which did not affect their daily lives.

She scanned the scenery of the courtyard; it was early spring, yet the yard was still piled with thick snow.

He struggled, attempting to steady himself, but the force was too great, and he was eventually thrown into the distance.

"Yes, and the peace buckle Xie Qingzhou gave you—perhaps she took that, too," An Ning guessed.

Moreover, he was skilled at reading expressions, and the captain's love for the tractor was written all over his face.

Anyone who could refine a high-grade medicinal pill was a master among masters, a treasure of the alchemy world.

Since she had decided to spend her life with Yu Luyuan, An Nian naturally began to think about what she should do.

Children under three were highly susceptible to early death; fate was fickle, and their sense of chaos made them impossible to divine.

By the way, the Princess Consort of Li and Concubine Lian had always been at odds. If she came to vent her anger, it would be for the best; if only she could show mercy, it might save their lives.
