20. You’re the Idiot! That ghost really was just like the rumors said—floating and eerie, with no visible feet. Bai Yuanxiu was so terrified he nearly lost his soul, but he didn’t dare move recklessly. He kept his nerves taut and stared at the figure, hoping he could at least memorize the ghost’s path this time. He’d heard that vengeful spirits lingered in the places they were most attached to. Some ghosts would even repeatedly reenact the tragic moment of their deaths. Bai Yuanxiu…- 80.2 K • Completed
At any other time, Aeryl would have avoided him, or the Grand Duke would have ignored him, but this time was different. Aeryl raised his left arm and tapped his wristwatch with the index finger of his right hand. ‘Don’t overdo it and come back soon.’ Only the knights were going today, so Aeryl couldn’t go with them. He was worried and wanted him to return earlier than usual. The Grand Duke silently watched him for a moment, then turned his head. ‘Looks like he’s not going to…- 279.4 K • Completed
Chapter 31: Ghostly Shadows Stir Passing through the gate, Fang Jingyu and Xiao Jiao arrived at the inner hall of the Penglai Prefecture. A camphorwood plaque hung in the hall, inscribed with the characters: “Solemn Reverence.” The space was quiet and still, filled with the fresh scent of gourdwood. Sunlight spilled through the lattice windows in narrow slats, falling on the floor like rows of neatly stacked blocks of tofu. Before a zitan screen stood a square table and a few round-backed chairs.…- 450.2 K • Completed
When Zhou Langxing walked closer to Qin Yan, he caught a whiff of that fresh floral-fruity scent that comes after a shower—wrapped in damp heat, it rushed toward him, reckless and heady. Qin Yan had only just finished bathing. Droplets of water still clung to his warm skin, not yet fully dried. Zhou Langxing’s gaze flicked up—he caught sight of a droplet sliding slowly from Qin Yan’s ear, tracing the curve of his neck and down to his collarbone. His ears flushed red, and he quickly forced his…- 132.6 K • Completed
“I heard the competition has started. It’s a banquet for the embassy delegates, right?” “That’s correct. We are holding a banquet for the delegation from Herut.” Anyone who regularly read the newspapers would know about the competition. The Emperor had been heavily promoting it. While others were aware, they didn’t seem eager to discuss it. “How are you approaching the competition, Your Highness?” “I’m doing my best, in my own way.” Even if he won, the chances of him…- 396.9 K • Completed
After an autumn rain, the air turned noticeably chillier. Wen Zhongyi had just recovered from a cold. Wrapped in a cheap overcoat from the wholesale market, half his face was hidden by the high collar of his sweater. The rough fabric had rubbed his skin red. The university campus here was much larger than he’d imagined. Back in Sanka, he had attended a military academy. There were no ornamental rocks or lakes there—only dust-choked training grounds. He hadn’t walked far when the…- 144.9 K • Completed
This class of students didn't have a grand graduation ceremony; no big shots from the Spiritbond World awarded them certificates; they didn't receive the blessings of the headmaster and Bai Ze. There was only Teacher Ji Xuan arranging for people to carry the unconscious students and their spirit beasts back to the dormitory, and casually tossing a C-grade Spiritbond Master certificate onto their bodies.Of the few who were awake enough to receive their certificates from Ji Xuan, only Wu Ailang and Yun…- 205.2 K • Completed
- In the Hall of Chengde, Gao Yun had just finished pouring a fresh cup of tea for He Zhi. As the teacup touched the table, He Zhi asked, "How has he been lately?" Gao Yun straightened up. "Ever since reading that letter, Your Highness has been restless. It's been several days now, and you look noticeably more haggard." He Zhi set down his book and quietly sipped his tea. Long before Zhou Song had even seen the letter, the Dark Guard had detected suspicious activity and learned its contents. He Zhi…
- Si Ye, currently the number one god-tier author in the male fiction category, was known for his unusual storylines and a writing style that felt grand and untouched by vulgarity. His prose often gave readers the same rush as a great river crashing down from a high place, fluid and powerful with a natural sense of exhilaration. His attention to detail was precise, and his control of pacing seamless. The only downside was his romance scenes, which came off either stiff or hollow. The disconnect was so…

- “Can you try using some logic, please? I’m begging you. Take your pixelated brain out of the gutter, let it dry off a little, and think this through…” The voice on the phone was a woman’s. Cute-sounding, with a slightly loli-like softness, the kind that normally melts people, but right now she was teetering on the edge of a meltdown. There was something oddly amusing about how furious she sounded. “Sub-zero temperatures. Freezing cold. Two men going at it outdoors. Are you serious? Where…
