      Chapter 224 Frog Hospital (16) – Pilgrims Blessing Cover
      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. 'Whoosh~' The arrow was over ten feet from…

      Chapter 16: Wind and Snow at Jintai Temple Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 The nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. After days of gloom, at the beginning of the sishi hour, scattered snowflakes began to fall. Prince Lanyangs Estate, in mourning, showed no festive atmosphere of the approaching New Year. Or rather, even if there was joy in their hearts, it had to be secretly hidden to avoid violating the rites. Outside the estate gate, however, it was a scene of bustling activity. Several thick-walled carriages were parked at the foot of the stone steps, and maids…

      Chapter 15: A Mother’s Heart Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 “Hmph~” Lin Hansu truly hadn't expected Ding Suian to say something so shameless, but she had only intended to tease him, so she said, “This Princess brought it here precisely to bestow upon you.” “Bestow upon me?” After his surprise, Ding Suian looked serious. “Speak! Who does the Princess Consort want me to kill?” “Pfft~ Look at your lack of ambition! Willing to risk your life for a mere saber~” Lin Hansu chuckled, then continued, “Look…

      by MachineSamurai9124 The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a quarter past noon. Lin Dafu arrived at the Prince's Mansion wearing the exact same armor as last time, but this time, he also carried an ancient-looking precious saber at his waist. Inside the dining hall of Huguai Garden, Lin Hansu was already waiting. "Greetings, Father~" Upon meeting, Lin Hansu clasped her hands in front of her chest, bent her knees slightly, and performed a standard solemn bow. This was the grand…

      by MachineSamurai9124 Midnight. It was time for the shift change. Ding Suian returned to the West Courtyard with Chest Hair and Hu Jiangjiu. Before heading to the backyard alone, Ding Suian pulled out a handful of sachets from his 懷裡 and tossed them to everyone, one by one. “Here, sachets for safety. I queued for an hour at Shouzheng Temple to get them. They’ve been blessed, one for each of you!” Hu Jiangjiu, having never owned such a thing…

      by MachineSamurai9124 Two quarters past midnight, the dew was heavy and the wind was cold. Ding Suian had just returned to the Prince Lanyangs Estate's West Courtyard when he heard that the Princess Consort had summoned him. Thinking something had gone wrong during his brief absence, he rushed to Chengxi Hall. But upon arriving, he saw Chest Hair and the others outside the hall were as usual. Inside the hall, Lin Hansu sat quietly on a prayer mat, burning paper…

      Chapter 223: Frog Hospital (XV) Original Sin Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 In the dream, Qi Si waited for Lin Chen to resolve the crisis. Relying on his memory, he replicated the English song he had heard at the beginning of the instance and finally obtained the translation. "Abortions, abortions..." (Abortions, abortions) "Frogs crowded the pond..." (Frogs crowded the pond) The language was incredibly straightforward; it practically told the players that the frogs in the pond were the vengeful spirits of dead infants. Frogs formed…

      Chapter 11: The Antelope’s Horns, A Move in Lanyang Cover
      by MachineSamurai9124 Ding Suian wasn't foolish; it was precisely because he saw the danger that he sought out Ruan Guofan. An honored noble who had been entrenched in Lanyang for nearly fifty years, even without military power, was still not to be underestimated. “That’s why this junior came to Uncle for help.” “First, tell me, why did you hide the Princess Consort of Lanyang?” Ruan Guofan slowly sipped his tea, as if deliberately waiting to see Ding Suian make a…
