“Do you want to ruin the prayer ritual? Where’d you pick up that blasphemous nonsense? What did you just say? Demon! You said demon!” “I’m sorry, Silver! Truth is, atheism’s all the rage among kids our age in Atania… You have to act like you’re spitting on God to be seen as cool… These days, even kids cry and fuss about not wanting to go to the temple with their parents…" “I was just spouting nonsense like always. Hey, I said it in our Atania language, so maybe His Divinity the…- 119.9 K • Ongoing
- It took Wolf two days of climbing the cave walls to reach the hole. Red Eagle couldn't contain his amazement. “It's not difficult, Your Highness. You just have to avoid thinking things like, ‘If I fall from here, my skull will shatter like a watermelon.’” “It's hard even without thinking that. My whole body was already aching after less than five steps.” “That's because you only do breathing exercises, Your Highness.” Wolf dusted his palms and examined the hourglass. Its…

- The old woman's speech became faster. "Hmph, whether it's Stoll or Atania, men give up faster than women. And they always choose methods with zero survival chance. I'd wager nine out of ten male mutants killed themselves the moment they realized their true nature. That's why no bodies identified as ‘male mutants’ remain. I want to cut open a male mutant’s belly more than anyone else!" The old woman slammed her fist on the table and gestured toward the chair across from her. “Sit down.…

- Wolf looked up at the cave opening. Light scattered chaotically. It resembled white feathers spilling from a pillow with torn corners. “That fight that day was nothing but luck. I've never fought anyone in my life. I never trained in combat, and I barely put in the time for the combat training I started this year.” “That's too humble, Wolf. I've seen top knights sparring at court often enough to tell the real from the fake. Besides, you said you exercised daily?” “That's because I'm a…

Xie Zheng's tone still carried a bit of careless smiling intent, as if chatting about the most ordinary thing. Lu Lu slowly propped up his body, sitting straight. He asked, "Is it because, what, Uncle is hospitalized?" "Don't know. Suddenly fainted at home and broke his arm. The doctors are currently investigating the cause." According to Xie Zheng's original thoughts, he would go back to Chen'an at least a month later. His parents wouldn't be able to outlast him, and by then, no one would be able…- 189.4 K • Completed
- Xie Zheng also didn't know exactly how long this "marking" lasted. It seemed like it was completed within a few seconds, yet also seemed so long that it lasted for millions of years. After Lu Lu released his teeth, Xie Zheng still maintained the arched posture, fixed in place while motionless. After a long time, Xie Zheng finally recovered. The muscles all over his body twitched a few times and he let out a heavy breath. Lu Lu was still pressing him from behind, his breath falling on the back of…

- Lu Lu's room had a narrow little window. The next day, Xie Zheng was woken up by the sun. The pale golden morning light drilled in through that narrow window, and a little floating dust could be seen. Xie Zheng heard the sound of talking outside the door. "Lu Lu, take the money back." "I already said it's enough to use. Grandma, just treat it as helping me save money." "Is it really enough?" "Uh-huh! Rest assured, rest assured, rest assured!" "Have you been to Dr. Li's recently?" "I…

- "Last time?" Lu Lu opened his phone's memo app. Xie Zheng glanced over and saw that it was lines and lines of numbers, mixed together, making it impossible to know exactly which number represented what meaning. "Last time was four and a half months ago." Lu Lu accurately pointed to a date within that pile of numbers. "It’s usually once every half a year. It shouldn't be that fast... right?" "Hard to say." Xie Zheng grabbed his collar and smelled again. The pomelo smell was very strong, carrying…

- Xie Zheng brushed back his bangs and reached out a dripping wet hand. "Give it to me." Lu Lu looked at Xie Zheng’s expression and placed the phone in his palm. "Xie Zheng." Mrs. Meng’s calm voice came through the receiver after the call connected. "Do you think others haven't seen enough of our family's jokesThis is a common Chinese phrase meaning to give others a reason to laugh at your misfortune, gossip about your family drama, or generally be a laughingstock to outsiders. yet?" Xie Zheng…

"Young Master Yoo-ha." An elderly maidservant hurried out to greet him the moment he arrived. "How is Grandmother?" "She woke only a short while ago, sir." Yoo-ha nodded and entered the room. The elderly woman, who had been staring wistfully out the window, turned her head. Her benevolent face broke into a bright smile the moment she saw him. "My Yoo-ha is here." "The wind is cold, Grandmother. Why are you sitting so close to the draft?" "Cold? This much is…- 19.8 K • Ongoing
