Outside the window, darkness had fallen.
Kinaine lay in bed dressed as a woman, pretending to be asleep. The blanket touching his back was soft and fluffy as if woven from baby bird feathers. On the bedside table, a beautifully crafted glass vase was filled with fresh flowers. Thanks to ...

After being stunned for a moment, Liang Feng immediately replied: "Alright, I'll take one for you now."
"Beep beep!" Old Black hung up directly.
About two minutes later, Xu Er gathered Liang Feng's family together and had him take a family photo to prove he was at home. 2024-11-08 12:24:35 +0000 UTC View Post

Two days passed without incident.
On New Year's Eve of the first lunar month, the entire Dragon City was immersed in a festive atmosphere. The sound of firecrackers had been echoing throughout the city since after 1 PM and continued into the deep night without stopping.

While the skull principal and his subordinate knights were seriously pondering.
The reason why the mages reacted so intensely was revealed.

Though some mages thought that way, they couldn't stop him.
It couldn't be helped.
Just as moths fly into flames knowing they'll burn to death, mages were beings who plunged into wisdom knowing they would perish.

The nobles present were even more shocked than before.
Haidan was one thing, but even Lady Kraha?
It was unbelievable. One noble gulped down hot tea trying to regain his senses (it didn't help much) before asking a question.

Fortunately, Mu-heon hadn't questioned his attitude so far, but could he be certain that it would continue to be so in the future?

Seeing Seung-jo's expression, which was even more rigid than when he had heard "You only think about Kang Mu-heon" earlier in the day, Young-ui smiled, showing his teeth as if he had expected this, and slightly raised his upper body.

Ignoring the youth who had frozen with a belated cry of surprise, Rigrow picked up the crossbow that had rolled from the man's hand. Then he looked at the arrow that had flown from that crossbow and stuck in the rock crevice. Finally, he turned his gaze to Tae-ui beside it.

Come to think of it, even if he was caught, he had no reason to cower. If anything, those trying to enjoy themselves secretly here would be the ones to cower in surprise. Why should he, when he wasn't deliberately trying to peep?

Tae-ui looked up at the sky. The thick leaves blocked most of the view. However, the sky visible through gaps in the leaves had a hazy reddish tint. Hong Kong's night lights were erasing the sky's color. Come to think of it, it felt strange that such quiet nature existed almost adjacen...

He couldn't understand why he felt bitter. Probably something Rigrow himself wouldn't care about at all, yet his mouth tasted needlessly bitter.

Though Tae-ui shouted as if about to jump up and down after a few more words, there was no response from others. Only after seeing their attitudes suggesting this was nothing surprising having experienced it several times already did Tae-ui acutely feel this was reality, not a joke. 2024-11-07 12:43:31 +0000 UTC View Post

Rigrow's head tilted slightly. His hand rose slightly. His hand seemed about to touch Tae-ui's wrist as he stood frozen staring silently at Rigrow, then slowly, as if caressing, crept upward. From elbow to shoulder to neck, the cold leather glove's touch was smooth and soft like a snak...
