Chapter 39: King Yama Fang Jingyu’s house was enveloped in a heavy silence. Several days had passed since Fang Jingyu was taken away. Most of the Xian Mountain officials who had stormed the estate were withdrawn by the Mohe Guard, leaving only two stationed outside the gate to prevent Xiao Jiao from acting recklessly. After all, she was also an official of the Xian Mountain Guard and close to Fang Jingyu—no one knew how she might break down. Yet in these days, Xiao Jiao seemed like a…- 450.2 K • Completed
In the week that followed, Wen Zhongyi didn’t see Meng Chuan again. Yang Jiaran managed to get Wen Zhongyi a student ID, saying he bought it from a senior who was on leave from school. With the ID, Wen Zhongyi could now freely enter and exit the university and sit in on architecture lectures. Compared to the dry text in books, the professors’ explanations were far more vivid and engaging. Wen Zhongyi was always the most attentive person in class. Yang Jiaran admired this deeply. He had only…- 144.9 K • Completed
A few dozen minutes earlier. Early in the morning, Dojin met with the Esper Director and heard something he hadn’t expected—rumors about Jiho circulating within the Center. Whispers that his matching rate was fabricated, that he had once been the prized possession of an illegal facility’s boss, or that he’d betrayed the very person he had worked with in that place. Some were even more outrageous—claims that Dojin had been a client at the illegal facility, and that he had personally shut it…- 289.6 K • Completed
At that moment, countless thoughts raced through Mo Zimu’s mind, but none of them offered a perfect solution to deal with Ivan. He suddenly realized how little he truly knew about this potentially formidable enemy. Without enough understanding, he couldn’t devise an immediate countermeasure. When he looked up, he was startled to find Ivan standing alarmingly close. Instinctively, he recoiled, but Ivan seized his wrist, halting his retreat. "Don’t be afraid, Seven. I’ll keep your secret,"…- 117.3 K • Completed
When the only first mate of the Black Sea Wolf fleet obediently returned to the main ship with hundreds of contracts in his arms, hoping to find his captain under the warm sunlight, he was met with an empty Captain's Cabin. The red-haired first mate felt utterly exhausted, realizing that even after all these years, he was still too naive when it came to the captain's shamelessness— The Black Sea Wolf had disappeared without a trace, taking the dozens of newly recruited crew members with…- 221.3 K • Completed
- …Asshole. Miguel: "…I'm here to apply for the position of navigator." Caesar stopped his low conversation with Rick and raised his head impatiently, lifting one eyebrow. "And?" Miguel: "Why do I have to chop wood?" "Why? I'll tell you why, kid—because you're about to board a pirate ship," the man chuckled, shifting his neck to a more comfortable position as he lounged on his overly ornate chaise lounge stuffed with ostentatious velvet cushions. "And unfortunately, the captain of this…

- The next morning, the sunlight peeking through the gaps in the curtains signaled a bright and sunny morning on Djerba Island. After a long yawn, the black-haired young man struggled to lift his head from the soft blanket, his dark eyes slightly squinting. With a stretch of his long legs, he expressionlessly kicked the pillow that had been wedged between his thighs to the floor. What a joke, naive Big Dog—did you really think I wouldn't notice that it was your enticing waist I was clinging to last…

- Chapter 17 A brief silence followed in response to the captain's words. Suddenly reaching out to casually touch the black pearl earring on Miguel's earlobe, the unhealed wound made the latter hiss lightly. With a cold laugh, Caesar withdrew his hand and licked the remaining blood on his fingers, curling his lips as he slowly said, "Seems we've reached a consensus." When Miguel looked up at him, the captain noticed that the eyes of the dancer he'd bought for fifty gold coins tonight looked…

- "……" "Fifty gold coins, includes a suite on the second floor and breakfast service. Enjoy your stay, respected Captain Caesar." The tavern owner, Fugar, leaned against the bar with a smile, raising his glass in Caesar's direction. Fugar's words seemed to awaken all the stunned patrons in the tavern. Someone in the crowd started with a whistle, followed by a cacophony of teasing and lewd blessings. "Well done, Caesar!" "Show that little vixen what you're made of!" "Make her cry! Make her…

The captain of the guards, wearing a badge on his chest, looked us over. It seemed he noticed something the villagers’ testimonies hadn’t mentioned—that one person was missing. “I heard there should be a child among you. Where is he?” It’s frustrating to be suspected of something we didn’t do. No one knows the feeling of facing violence and hunger when you don’t even understand what you’re accused of. Still holding onto Banwes’s arm, I pressed my lips to his…- 183.7 K • Completed
