“If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have found our Hyungseo. How can we ever repay this kindness?” “It’s nothing. I just happened to visit the shrine and met Hyungseo by chance, so it was good luck.” Yoonso comforted the tearful Eunkang, pouring wine into her cup. Nearby, Kyungae let out a deep sigh and gave a hollow laugh. “I searched so hard, and he was at the shrine. They say it’s darkest under the lamp, and truly. Was I being punished for not stepping foot in a…- 173.1 K • Ongoing
- Standing by the window, Yoonso watched the Yongrin moving so swiftly it was hard to follow. There were at least three of them. Typically, a Hwasichung was staffed by two Yongrin and one Yeongchunhwa, so these must have come from another region for support. It was said Yongrin could move faster than horses, and it seemed true. If such people were after a single Yeongchunhwa, they’d surely succeed. “Yeohyung.” Lost in thought, Yoonso snapped back at Hwi’s voice. Leaning against the wall with…

- After the current emperor ascended the throne, the first reform he addressed was the system governing Yeongchunhwa’s entry into the palace. Originally, Yeongchunhwa were required to enter the palace immediately upon blossoming, forcing them to part with their families. Overturning this, the emperor revised the system so that unblossomed Yeongchunhwa could enter the palace upon reaching adulthood. Of course, those who wished could enter the palace right after blossoming, and since entering granted…

- Passing the hall where the dragon statue stood and entering further, they came upon a sizable pavilion. As they stepped into its courtyard, a priest dressed in pristine white robes approached and greeted them courteously. “What brings you here?” Though he appeared nonchalant, Yoonso sensed the priest observing Hwi. Hwi casually surveyed the surroundings before speaking. “I’m considering making a donation.” “Oh! Is that so?” At the mention of a donation, the priest’s face…

- “If it’s gambling, something must be wagered.” “…I don’t have anything to wager.” “Let’s do this. If you win, I’ll grant you one wish.” One wish—what a broad reward. Yoonso began imagining what he might wish for, then looked at Hwi with suspicion. “And if you win, sir?” “You’ll have to grant my wish.” Given the disparity in their ability to fulfill wishes, Yoonso wondered if this was a fair bet. But knowing Hwi wouldn’t overestimate him, he likely…

- Shen Zhou dragged the person back into the room but didn't interrogate him. He placed him and the paper sword aside and ignored them, then returned to the door, squatted down, and pressed his ears tightly against the door panel, his brow furrowed. Lu Buzhuo felt a little neglected. In truth, Shen Zhou hadn't done much. No matter how unhappy he was last night, he only gave a couple of shoves and was still willing to be lulled to sleep, not at all like an angry Dao companion. But it was precisely…

- Shen Zhou slammed the door shut with a "bang" and returned to the table to continue reading the medical book. The sentences in the book were convoluted and awkward, the small, fly-head characters jumbled and chaotic. After staring at it for a long time, he hadn't even finished a single page, when he heard a thud from behind. Shen Zhou turned his head and saw a quilt being stuffed through the half-open window. A moment later, a person fell in after it. Lu Buzhuo hadn't expected the window to be…

- Chu Xuan didn't say if he would touch it or not. Leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, he sized up the half-demon who had suddenly appeared at his door. He watched as one wolf ear, which was already folded down, was slowly joined by the other, both now drooping backwards. "I can't sleep here?" Shen Zhou confirmed again. If Chu Xuan didn't agree, he had nothing else to offer that was likable. "You broke my sword," Chu Xuan finally spoke, bringing up old scores the moment he opened…

- Chu Xuan spent the better half of the night trying to get his senior brother's soul back. The sword was already halfway into the furnace, but he managed to snatch it back. After banging it against a rock for a while with a "clang, clang, clang," a small ball of light fell out. The people from the Elder's Hall quickly took the sword and discovered that the originally small crack had grown larger. Their vision went dark, and they grabbed him, demanding an explanation. Chu Xuan ignored them, picked…

- Shen Zhou absolutely could not sleep anymore. He scrambled out of bed to find Xie Xianqing, only to discover he was gone. Only Chu Xuan was sitting outside alone, folding small paper figures. His fingers flew up and down, the thin calluses on his fingertips pressing and smoothing against the paper. He opened, folded, and with a few dazzling movements like a butterfly flitting through flowers, a figure was complete. Shen Zhou hesitated for a moment before approaching. When he was still ten steps…
