He pulled open his clothes and saw a cluster of bright yellow feathers growing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ji clearly recognized the item, and accepted the peach with grateful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peach’s effect was even more pronounced on him; even his shattered mouth was restored to human shape, though not fully healed, at least no longer impeding movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1329,"2026-06-20T14:31:06.102Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a9494849f0aef84322068ec7d15e351c7d4b2138878bf9a84ec8e3f3d1464b8b","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-25","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-23",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheavenly-official-bestows-evil-cover.jpg"]
