After Yan Lin left Haicheng, Xu Manzhi devoted herself to studying the composition of the black spots. In order to analyze them accurately, she even ordered a batch of machines from Ling Junye.
Ling Junye couldn't help but complain, "Sis, you're really daring. Not just anyone can work on these machines. There are strict requirements now. You could easily get yourself into trouble."
Especially after the last outbreak of human weapons at the Jingzu Research Institute, relevant departments have begun to pay attention, and every word and action of theirs is subject to special control.
Xu Manzhi didn't care.
She said to Ling Junye, "I can give you the supplies. As long as you can make it, I will bear all the consequences myself."
It's just one tenth away from the last ingredient.
She cannot afford to fail at the last minute.
The black spots on Yan Lin's cheeks were extremely strange, and they faintly contained a toxin he had never encountered before...
They didn't even include Zhang Dayong's "Poison Classic".
She must get to the root of the problem and find a solution.
Ling Junye reluctantly agreed.
But to be on the safe side, he decided to make the trip himself to avoid any unforeseen complications.
This trip lasted for more than half a month.
Xu Manzhi was extremely busy. At first, she was full of confidence, but as her research direction became more and more off track, she found herself feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
That day, after preparing a prescription, she reached out to grab it, only to find that she had grasped nothing. In the sunlight, she discovered that her fingers were covered in bruises...
What happened?
She reached out and rubbed her skin, discovering fine lines of blood beneath it.
While she was wondering, she heard footsteps outside. She was about to turn around when she found that her steps were unsteady. She tried to lift her head several times, but she couldn't move an inch.
Xu Manzhi felt a little flustered.
"Xu Manzhi, you're home!"
A mocking voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Pengyue, heavily pregnant, entered the courtyard.
Xu Manzhi frowned.
Uninvited?
She said coldly, "What do you want? I didn't invite you here. If you have nothing to say, get lost. My family doesn't welcome people like you."
Jiang Pengyue looked at him with a mocking expression.
She patted her pregnant belly and laughed, "Oh, we were family once, after all. Even if you're willing to admit it, you're still a member of the Jiang family. We're sisters, and I'm just here to visit you out of kindness."
After saying that, her gaze turned venomous as she looked menacingly at Xu Manzhi's stomach.
"You've been married for several months now, and there's still no sign of pregnancy? Could it be that you can't have children? If so, you should ask for a divorce as soon as possible and give her her freedom," Jiang Pengyue mocked.
She was carrying the Zhou family's precious child, their only offspring.
Although the Zhou family claimed to be severing ties, they actually treated her incredibly well.
Zhou Xiangqun also kept his temper in check and dared not lay a hand on her again.
She finally turned her life around thanks to her son.
She couldn't resist showing off to Xu Manzhi at the slightest sound of her voice.
Xu Manzhi's eyes darkened.
With a bang, she threw down the hoe in her hand and said coldly, "Are you going to get out of here or not? Don't think that just because you're pregnant you can act like a lawless person. You're just pregnant, not the Emperor himself. If you're sick, go get treatment. Don't embarrass yourself here. I can't stand the sight of you."
Swish.
She conjured a dagger from her spatial storage, held it in her hand and played with it, saying, "I still need to refine medicine. There are dangerous items everywhere. If I accidentally slip and hurt your manhood, don't blame me."
"Xu Manzhi!"
Jiang Pengyue was so angry that her face turned ashen.
She gasped for breath, her anger flaring, and said, "Fine, fine, you're so great, so powerful. I'd like to see how long a hen that can't have children can keep up this arrogance."
After saying that, she quickly left with small, quick steps.
"Pooh--"
Xu Manzhi was just about to sweep the yard with a broom to disinfect it and avoid bad luck, but when she bent over, she felt dizzy and her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
She managed to keep herself upright and avoid falling.
What's wrong?
She felt extremely weak, with an indescribable sense of emptiness.
This has never happened before.
There was a sense of tearing apart in my soul.
Sensing something was wrong, Xu Manzhi quickly went back to her room to rest. She fell asleep as soon as she lay down, but woke up in the middle of the night with her neck covered in sweat.
"Owner……"
A barely audible voice came to my mind.
Xu Manzhi felt something was strange and then flashed into the space.
Rumble.
What the heck?
Five suns were hanging in the sky.
The earth was illuminated with holy light.
A small black sphere, emitting radio waves, floated above the herb garden.
Gurgle.
A pair of round, black eyes gleamed on the small black ball.
Feeling puzzled, she asked, "Who are you? Why are you in my space?"
With a smack, a tiny mouth popped out from under the little black ball's two black eyes.
Its voice was hoarse and thin, like that of a newborn kitten: "Master, I am the original form of Thunder Cloud Pearl, Hei Hei. You made a contract with me, but I am ultimately meant for the female lead, Ye Qiqi, so I have not awakened until you became pregnant and gave birth to five babies, which caused a distortion of the rules. I barely managed to activate your luck and awaken."
What?
Is this even possible?
Xu Manzhi asked, seemingly understanding but not quite, "Then if you use my luck, I'll lose all my power. How am I supposed to work then?"
It flew in with a whoosh.
It swayed its body and said in a childish voice, "No, although this was written by AI, it is a small world of its own. In order to keep the world in the book from collapsing, there are world rules. Side characters are not that important and can change fate, but the main storyline cannot be changed."
The male lead is the male lead, and the female lead is the female lead.
Even if the female lead is a good-for-nothing.
