      by MachineSamurai9124 "Oh~ Young Master, look!" On the jujube tree, Lin Hansu suddenly raised her arm and pointed. Following her finger, eight black-clad cavalrymen galloped along Prefectural Front Street to the gates of the Lanyang Prefecture Yamen.

From a distance, one could feel their imposing and…

Ding Suian had already left Ji Pavilion. Lin Hansu, on a whim, sat before her dressing table and, looking into the mirror, divided her long, flowing hair into two strands, attempting to style a 'Fenxiao bun,' which symbolized an unmarried woman. However, Lin Hansu's hair had been styled by Granny Xu since she was a child, and she had never done it herself. She fumbled with it, making a mess, and couldn't achieve the desired…

From the first ray of sunlight piercing through the window in the early morning to the vast expanse of white light pouring down, only a few short minutes had passed. All Ghosts dissipated in the light, settling down like dust and mist, adhering to the ground, leaving no trace, not even a limb. The blood and flesh all over the ground came from Yu…

      by AshPurgatory2025 "Huang Xiaofei, you went out once on the first night. What is the average strength of the Ghosts in this instance for you?" Turning a corner, Qi Si stared at the long, narrow, and dim corridor ahead, asking without looking back, "Can you beat them?" Huang Xiaofei took the cigarette from her mouth with two fingers and said calmly, "If they are the Pregnant Ghosts in the night corridor, I can handle ten at once. The night before last, there were too…

      Chapter 19: Never Fail This Life Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 There's no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days.

Clearly, there was internal intelligence. If Ding Suian hadn't made preparations in advance, Jintai Temple would have been their burial ground tonight. It hardly needed analysis; it was…

      by MachineSamurai9124 In the neighboring courtyard, after Ding Suian threw the Kunwu saber and killed Third Hu, Granny Zhang, who was by Lin Hansu's side, reacted extremely quickly.

      by AshPurgatory2025 Qi Si watched Huang Xiaofei finish the bowl of tadpole soup and silently asked Lin Chen in his mind whether the count of swallowed tadpoles had changed. Same as the first day, Lin Chen gave a negative answer, confirming once again that the tadpole soup was not tallied toward quest progress. “Cherish food, stop waste—breakfast must be finished!” Outside the door, the nurse yelled at the top of her lungs, her voice as hoarse as sandpaper. Qi…

      Chapter 17: Peace in Pieces Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 When Ding Suian instructed Gongye Ni to hide in the woods outside the courtyard as a scout, he had said: If attacked by bandits, choose the most dangerous target and shoot to kill. Gongye Ni did not choose the powerful-looking Chenggang Realm Orange-Peeled Face; instead, he selected the Scholar in Long Robes, who had been standing aside since entering the backyard and had never made a move, as his primary target.
