      Chapter 44: Carnivore (16) Wax Sacrifice Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 “Thus, the bright spirits descend. Among men, they are called shamans; among women, they are called witches.” “The people are thus able to possess loyalty and sincerity, and the spirits are thus able to possess bright virtue.” “Humans and spirits do not disturb each other; each obtains its proper order.” “—‘Discourses of the States’” Human belief in gods first arose from fear of the unknown. Unable to explain a series of events like famine, disaster, and death, they…

      Chapter 229: Fire in the Backyard Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 "Who is she?" The Old Man's counter-question was natural and casual; neither his tone nor his gaze betrayed anything unusual. Ding Suian added, "She is the Princess Consort of Lanyang, the daughter of Lord Lin." "Oh~" The Old Man drew out his tone, looking as if he had finally remembered. "I've heard of her." Ding Suian looked at the Old Man, slowing his speech, "The year before last, I served at the Prince Lanyangs Estate, and through that, I…

      Chapter 120 Shuangxi Town (14): The Ghost of the Xu House Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 Behind the gauze curtain crouched a hunchbacked old man, dressed entirely in black—black clothes, black cloth shoes, a black hat—his white hair the only splash of color. He paid the players no mind. With swollen fingers he lifted sheets of yellow paper and fed them into the brazier before him. Qi Si asked, “Old sir, who are you burning paper for?” Without turning, the old man rasped, “Sending word to the Joyous Goddess.” “Sending word?” “I burn scripture paper and…

      by AshPurgatory2025 After throwing herself into the dry well with A-Xi in her arms, Granny Su saw the deity for the third time. The deity in red remained soul-stirringly beautiful, their attire neat and free from even a speck of dust, untouched by the erosion of time. Granny Su kowtowed before the deity, begging them to save A-Xi just as they had saved her. The deity sighed deeply. "I myself am trapped here, with only a single breath of obsession remaining. How could I possibly save…

      Chapter 198: Kamehameha Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 It was the Hour of the Rat, the dead of night. Xingning Ward was completely silent. Dozens of figures, shielded by the heavy darkness, crept silently toward the outer wall of the Jiang family residence. *Thud, thud.* With a few faint sounds, several grappling hooks caught onto the top of the wall. One by one, the men nimbly climbed over, landing with almost no noise. Clearly, they were well-practiced in the business of scaling walls and breaking into courtyards. The leader stood…

      Chapter 58: Yang Excess! Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Chapter 58: Yang Excess! There were six Zhao Army Soldiers in total. Ding Suian's confidence stemmed from the changes in his body after experiencing Yang Excess two nights prior. His vision was far superior to before when walking at night, and his body felt much lighter. The three minor stages within each realm of a Martial Artist—Minor Achievement, Proficiency, and Perfection—were not clearly demarcated. But Ding Suian could sense that he seemed to have already…

      Chapter 48 Jigsaw Puzzle Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Sirian raised his jet revolver. The booming gunshots echoed through the dimness, and a gust of wind swept through. Sirian wasn't sure if the soul marrow bullet hit its target, but he saw a scorching fireball ignite at the end of the dim passage. Within a few seconds, the fireball rapidly expanded, causing a thunderous roar. Explosions and burning continued in this narrow area, evaporating the moisture, and the temperature skyrocketed. There was no longer any need to…

      Chapter 240: Deep as the Sea Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Jiang Yuan slowly opened her eyes. A carved wooden bed, red gauze curtains, and a sweet, intoxicating fragrance permeated the air. She sat up abruptly, her chest heaving violently as she gasped for air, fine beads of cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. Looking around in lingering fear, the candlelight was dim and yellow. Through the hazy gauze curtains, she could vaguely see a dressing table placed not far away, with a few exquisite cosmetics and…
