"Bilian has become more capable, and can make our young lady..."

Before she could finish her words, the girl jumped over from the flower bed, grabbed her waist and covered her mouth with her hands.

Lu Linglong looked embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense, I was too hard when I was beating Bilian just now, and I accidentally rubbed my eyes, I was..."

Even though Zhi Jinhua's mouth was covered and her legs were hooked around her waist, her eyes still showed gossip: "Woo, I haven't said anything yet, Linglong, you reacted so strongly, really woo woo woo, I doubt it woo woo."

Lu Linglong held Zhi Jinhua in a koala posture, constantly trying to stop her from speaking further.

The two of them lost their balance and staggered on the grass in the courtyard. The noise they made made everyone around them turn their heads to look over.

"Hahaha, I'm playing with Hua'er."

Lu Linglong explained with an awkward smile on her rosy face. She then turned away, her big eyes anxiously looking at her as she continued to block Zhi Jinhua's mouth.

"Eh--"

"It's a bit strange——"

Xi sipped from a bottle of Erguotou with a straw, the hair on his head swaying like cockroach whiskers, and the fire of gossip in his eyes gradually burned.

That's when the mutation occurs.

"What? Pregnancy pulse?"

"I'm going to be a father?"

Zhang Lingyu's scream suddenly came from somewhere outside the Tianshi Mansion.

"To be a father?"

Xi's pupils trembled, and his hand lost its balance, causing the Red Star Erguotou to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Master Lingyu is going to be a father?"

Xu Si, who was playing cards, raised his head suddenly, causing several pieces of paper on his head to fall.

"Big Brother is going to be a father? Isn't that Sister Xia He who is pregnant with a baby?"

Lu Linglong, who was fighting fiercely with Zhi Jinhua, also stopped with her head buried in his majestic chest.

For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted by Zhang Lingyu's sudden scream.

The place suddenly became quiet, with only the slight crackling sound of the burning smokeless charcoal in the barbecue oven.

Then, the three big guys from Mount Longhu who were sitting at the stone table eating chicken, flew up into the sky in unison, turned into streams of light, and headed towards the direction of the pharmacy where the sound came from.

Only Lu Jin, who was still engaged in a fierce gunfight, stood up suddenly, controlled his phone to fight four people at once, jumped onto the roof, and quickly chased after them.

The group of youngsters in the venue, after realizing what was happening, all shouted and went to eat the melons with excitement on their faces.

·

In a pharmacy just half a bluestone alley away from the Tianshi Mansion.

Zhang Lingyu, with a flushed face, looked at Dong Ying, who was also the doctor at the mountain gate, and confirmed again: "Senior sister, are you really sure that Ah He, Ah He is really pregnant?"

Xia He, who was standing aside, was sitting on the yellow tree in a daze. Her face was even more flushed than Zhang Lingyu's, and she looked a little at a loss.

Dong Ying, who was sitting behind the front desk of the pharmacy, reached out and felt Xia He's snow-white, slender wrist carefully. His old face was full of smiles, and he nodded repeatedly, "You have confirmed with me several times. Little Xia He is indeed pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyu's body was trembling visibly, and his usual calmness was long gone.

Xia He wanted to get up at this time, but he gently restrained her.

"Senior Sister Dong Ying, is the baby in my wife's belly healthy? Will it affect her body? Will it..."

Zhang Lingyu asked Dong Ying questions incoherently. He knew nothing about pregnancy, so when he found out he was going to be a father, the first thing that came to his mind was worry.

I am worried about my child's condition, and even more worried about whether Xia He's health will be affected.

"Husband, I'm fine."

Xia He came back to her senses at this time, and reached out to gently stroke her belly, her eyes full of joy and love. After noticing Zhang Lingyu's worry, she wanted to stand up to comfort him.

Also at this time.

Outside the pharmacy, accompanied by a few soft bangs, several figures wrapped in Qi light appeared.

Zhang Taichu, who was walking in the front, turned around and whispered to Zhang Zhiwei, "Be quiet when you land. What if you scare our precious little disciple who has not yet been born?"

Zhang Zhiwei chuckled and touched the back of his head with his hand, revealing a rare expression, like a reprimanded old naughty boy.

"Yes, yes."

He spoke in a low voice, and together with Tian Jinzhong beside him, he followed Zhang Taichu into the pharmacy.

The first one to react was Dong Ying, who bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Dong Ying, I pay my respects to the Master and the two uncles."

Zhang Lingyu and Xia He also faced the three masters who entered the arena, raised their hands and were about to bow down, but they were held back by a soft golden light.

Zhang Taichu waved his hand gently, causing the young couple to stand up straight. The smile on his face was harder to suppress than AK. He looked at Zhang Lingyu first and confirmed, "Are you going to be a father?"

Zhang Lingyu blushed and nodded: "Ah He is pregnant."

Xia He, who was standing by, also had a flushed face. She leaned against Zhang Lingyu with her head down and a shy look in her eyes.

Dong Ying reported with a smile on her face: "Xiao Xiahe's pulse is smooth, like beads rolling on a plate, very sharp, it is undoubtedly a happy pulse, I think it has happened in the past few days, so I didn't know it. You can take some time to go down the mountain to the hospital for another check-up. Great news, this is great news."

"Very good, very good!"

Zhang Taichu's eyes were bright and he said yes repeatedly.

Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong looked at each other and saw each other's joy.

Lu Jin and a group of younger people who arrived shortly afterwards happened to hear Dong Ying's words, and they excitedly rushed up to congratulate her, dancing with joy, looking even more excited than the person involved!

Time passed, and another three days went by.

The very next day after Dong Ying felt Xia He's pulse, Zhang Lingyu took her down the mountain to the nearest obstetrics and gynecology hospital in YT City, where they did a comprehensive examination to make sure both mother and child were safe.

After returning to Mount Longhu, Xia He immediately became the most closely protected person in the entire Taoist temple. She was repeatedly told by the elders to stay in her room and not go anywhere.

After Zhang Lingyu finally realized that he was going to be a father, he seemed like a different person. He became a little fussy and stayed around his wife every day. Even though her pregnancy was less than a month old, he had already started teaching himself about parenting and even took out the baby stroller that Wang Zhenqiu had given him.

As Zhang Taichu had instructed, Dong Ying selected the most suitable herbs and medicines for pregnant women from the treasure house of Longhu Mountain every day, and mixed them into a delicious tonic soup to nourish Xia He.

Although Xia He believed that with her physical condition, having a baby would not be a problem and she did not need to take any tonic food, she could not persuade her elders and her husband, so she had to drink it all obediently. She burped with satisfaction, touched her warm belly, and looked forward to the baby growing up quickly.

at the same time.

As the annual holidays come to an end in various places, the Chinese people also set out on the journey to their workplaces and returned to their work and life.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, after bidding farewell to his master and fellow apprentices, Ma Xianhong immediately went down the mountain to the base in Qinling Mountains and continued to devote himself to the armor project with Meng Linhu. According to what he said before leaving, perhaps this year, they can initially solve the quality problems of mass production of the devouring sac and the swift armor, and create a truly portable armor belt that can be used by soldiers of ordinary physique.

On the same day, Zhang Taichu received a special invitation from the imperial capital and had an in-depth and friendly negotiation with a number of top leaders of relevant Chinese departments. During the process, they just made tea and chatted like friends. After just one day, he was escorted all the way from the imperial capital to the foot of Longhu Mountain by a special plane and a special car.

As for what was discussed in the entire meeting, only less than a handful of people in the whole of China knew its content, and it is destined not to be known to more people.

And right now.

The ninth day of the first lunar month.

While a group of young people are still playing around and enjoying their lives.

Just as Zhang Taichu was sitting in his room, contemplating the runes he obtained from the extraordinary land.

Zhao Fangxu, who was on the phone from Nadutong, called Zhang Zhiwei and explained his purpose in a concise manner. The general summary was: [Nasen Island is open to the world's aliens, and China has been specially invited! ]

·

·

The moonlight in the sky was like water, passing through the gaps in the woods and covering the green grass and moss like frost and snow.

In the darkness of night, in a small pavilion in the woods.

"Junior brother, Director Zhao said today that Nasen Island has sent out their envoys to contact the alien worlds of various countries and announced that the island will be open."

"The reason is because of a tradition regarding the succession to the throne. The people of Nasen Island believe in the sacred tree, and the successor to the throne of King Nasen is chosen by the sacred tree, or determined by special duel rules."

"As long as someone breaks off a branch of the sacred tree, it means someone is challenging King Nathan's authority. As long as we can assassinate or kill the other person head-on, we can take his place."

"No one has plucked the golden bough for hundreds of years, so this year is a special case... This is also the reason why Nathan Island is open."

"The apostle from China specifically stated that their current king... is interested in us and particularly hopes that China can send someone to the country. In addition, he specifically mentioned your name."

As Zhang Zhiwei spoke, he picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea.

Zhang Taichu was a little confused: "Are you interested in us? Are you interested in Longhu Mountain? Do you particularly hope that our country can send an extraordinary person there? And you even mentioned my name specifically? That's really weird."

"Don't they have their own world and don't care about worldly affairs?"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "According to what Director Zhao said, the apostle did say so, and that was also the will of King Nathan. The specific situation is still unclear."

Zhang Taichu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since they want us to go, let's go and take a look."

"Speaking of which, what really interests me is the sacred tree with mysterious legends. It is amazing that it can have the power to protect an entire island in this era... Maybe it hides more secrets."

Zhang Zhiwei took another sip of tea and said, "Then I won't go this time and will stay in the Tianshi Mansion. After all, the whereabouts of Qu Tong and his ilk are still unknown."

"Also, I encountered a bottleneck when I was visualizing the 5,000th rune recorded in the Extraordinary Land at the same time. I can use this free time to make a breakthrough. What about you, Junior Brother? How far have you come?"

Zhang Taichu's smile became even more intense, and he patted Zhang Zhiwei on the shoulder: "Not many, not many, just over 100,000. Brother, don't feel any pressure, after all, our situations are different."

Zhang Zhiwei: "..."

He looked at Zhang Taichu's face, which didn't seem to be lying, and felt mixed emotions. After a moment of silence, he shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, our situations are different."

"Although I also think I have good talent, after all, I was invincible among the young generation back then, but when it comes to you, Junior Brother, hey..."

His face was filled with emotion as he recalled the time when he was in his thirties and was easily crushed by his junior fellow apprentice who was only in his teens.

It was precisely because of that setback that he gradually corrected his mentality and became the Zhang Zhiwei of today.

in the following time.

The two of them talked a lot about the strange runes, and it was not until late at night that they got up and left.

at the same time.

Far away on the other side of the blue planet, in the city of Walton, the capital of the United States.

It was just when the sun was rising, but the city seemed to lack vitality. Even the sunlight shining on it looked so pale and weak.

Not long ago, in a press conference held simultaneously in the two countries, the Yanxia Yuankai that emerged from nowhere in China easily crushed their Satan armed forces.

The shadow turned into a thick dark cloud, which still hangs over the hearts of countless American citizens.

The United States, which has always led the world in the military industry, has suffered an unprecedented severe blow. Looking back, the press conference in the Pentagon can be called a clown show. The more arrogant the group of senior officials said at the beginning, the more painful it was when they were slapped in the face by China.

And the saddest thing is that the release time of the Satan Armed Forces was extended by Admiral Smith himself. It was originally intended to snipe at China, but he didn't expect that he would put his face under the opponent's fist and suffered a heavy blow!

And it has been since that incident happened.

The United States government has not made any response to this. Even though the citizens of free countries have been scolding the leaders on Twitter, there has still been no news.

The reason is very simple - faced with China's technology that seems to have leapfrogged the times, the relevant departments of the United States feel unprecedented powerlessness.

It's like an African chief holding what he thinks is an advanced slingshot, looking at astronauts flying into space on a rocket. He has no idea how to fight back and can only helplessly endure the backlash of failure.

-

Walton Senior Hospital.

In the VIP ward on the upper floor.

On a clean and tidy big bed, there was a pale old man wearing a hospital gown lying on the bed, with an IV dripping on his palm. His chest was rising and falling weakly, his eyelids were drooping, and his dim eyes made him look like he was about to die, like a fish dying of thirst on the beach.

Next to the big bed stood a tall middle-aged man.

The man was wearing a smart suit and had a neatly slicked-back blond hair, and his angular features revealed no further emotions.

He stood beside the bed, lowered his head and looked at the elderly man who looked terminally ill, and said slowly: "Michael, it's just a failure, how could it make you become like this? Where is the high-spirited you back then? Why can't you try to stand up again?"

"Behemoth needs you, and the scientific research of the United States needs you. Stand up like a true warrior."

Michael, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, trembled his drooping eyelids slightly when he heard this, and his eyeballs moved to the man in the middle.

"Uh……"

His throat rolled, and he coughed forcefully. His dry lips moved up and down as he said in agony, "I have failed the company's high hopes, failed the people's high hopes, and even more failed myself."
