They had sex in Xu Fei’s living room. His couch wasn’t as nice as Liang Xuan’s. A few broken springs underneath poked into Xu Fei’s ass, making it sore. He frowned and said, “Wait, wait.” Liang Xuan froze, thinking something was wrong, his cock only halfway in and not moving. That pause made Xu Fei itch and burn. His insides clenched tight from the discomfort, which pulled a low groan out of Liang Xuan.“Forget it. Just shove it in,” Xu Fei muttered, kicking at Liang Xuan’s lower back.…- 79.3 K • Completed
- For Xu Fei, life before 27 felt like a ball of yarn clawed to shit by a cat. Sometimes, when he got too high on weed, he’d even forget who he was. Just lay there on the floor, all skin and bones, thinking he was floating on clouds writing poetry. When he sobered up, the self-loathing hit hard. He wished he could reach through the mirror and tear off that pale, scruffy face of his. But right after the high came the crash, and in that weak-ass state, he didn’t have the strength or balls to do anything…

Two days later, Yudit stopped by the barn first thing in the morning. Inside, people suffering from hangovers were sprawled about like laundry left out to dry. “Ugh…” Yudit looked at the groaning figures with pity as he handed out bowls of thin stew with tomatoes to each one of them. “No more drinking… I swear…” “I can’t put anything in my stomach…” Despite their protests, perhaps due to the pleasant tang that whetted the appetite, they took one bite, then another—and…- 396.9 K • Completed
- Even Yasin, who had been cooped up indoors, came out today to eat and drink. His injuries were nearly healed. Yudit had deliberately placed Yasin with a group skilled in sewing and knitting. Yasin, nursing a drink, kept sneaking glances at their knitwear as if curious about the stitching techniques. Wadiram, as usual, was glued to the shopkeeper. Anyone would believe they were lovers in a past life. They were proudly showing off a whip made from a Bloodwhip stem. The villagers stared at it with…

- Khalid made a lighthearted comment as he turned the doorknob. Yudit reached out toward him, but Shane gently stopped him. “It’s dangerous. Please wait in the carriage.” When Yudit shook his head, Shane sighed and lifted him up. Yudit looked at him in disbelief, clearly not expecting to be picked up so easily. “…Put me down.” “I am Your Highness’s guard. Your safety is my highest priority.” “Fine. I’ll walk on my own.” Even after that promise, Shane didn’t seem…

- The people did not seem particularly pleased with Yudit’s group suddenly showing up to lend a hand. With a duke, a prince, knights of a ducal house, and even an envoy from Herut among them—all of high standing—they were clearly concerned that if any of them were injured, the consequences might fall on their heads. Even those in charge looked troubled, assigning only the simplest of tasks. Yudit said nothing and silently helped where he could. The tasks may have been simple, but they were far from…

- “You’re finally awake.” “How long have I been like this?” “Well… about an hour and a half?” Yudit was shocked. He thought he was joking, so he looked at the moon. It had been low in the sky when he entered, but now it was high above. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” “You weren’t asleep, were you? You were just thinking. I, too, lost track of time enjoying the view.” When Yudit looked upset, Khalid faintly smiled. “So, did you think well?” “…Thanks to…

- “The author of that book also struggled a lot because of monsters,” Yudit explained. “But he managed to deal with it by cultivating herbs that monsters hate. And apparently, the herbs grow well even in barren soil…” He trailed off as he noticed Brown’s face flush red, tears streaming down his cheeks again. Wondering if he’d said something wrong, Yudit glanced over at Huyan and Wadiram—but they only smiled gently. “When I lost my arm and was stuck at home, nothing but a burden, I…

- “Surprising. I thought you’d say something like ‘isn’t there a way we can get along with them?’ all soft and sentimental.” At Khalid’s teasing, Yudit shot him a sharp glare and replied dryly. “My responsibility is to protect the people in this district.” Hearing that, Khalid gave him a satisfied smile. “So you’ve grown up a little.” “Getting bitten by a goblin really clears your head.” “Next time, try growing without getting bitten.” Yudit’s gaze…

- Even just glancing at the other guests’ tables made it clear they were receiving only the bare minimum of hospitality. Their breakfast consisted of rough slices of rye bread, goat’s milk, and soup served in dull wooden bowls. In contrast, Khalid’s table bore dishes that clearly did not belong to the inn—glassware so old the patterns had almost faded, likely brought from the owner’s own home. Upon them sat scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and rye bread—an array of preserved foods. There was also…
