Chapter 70 – Yu-shi* (22.1)

[T/N: The title is 俞氏. Yu 俞 is a surname. Shi 氏 indicates a married woman.]

Lin Jia Bao was painting outdoors in Ping Le Courtyard. The weather was good today, so he asked Yuan Qing to help him bring the desk out into the courtyard.

Due to the incident with Xu Xue Ying, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng recently forbade Lin Jia Bao from going to the Royal Snack Kitchen. Even if he wanted to take a stroll through the Imperial Garden, he would need to have Xuan Yuan Han Cheng accompany him.

Last time, when Xuan Yuan Han Cheng learned that Lin Jia Bao had went missing he was extremely panicked. Even though it was only for a short while, he really could not bear the thought of losing his treasure once again. If possible, he really wanted to carry his darling around in his arms at all times.

Being stuck inside Ping Le Courtyard, Lin Jia Bao was so bored that he was getting agitated, but due to his docile disposition, he would not quarrel with Xuan Yuan Han Cheng about wanting to go out.

Lin Jia Bao knew that Xuan Yuan Han Cheng was doing this for his own good. It was because Xuan Yuan Han Cheng was worried for him that he would not let him go out, so it was best that he obediently practice his calligraphy and painting skills in Ping Le Courtyard.

There were several koi carps depicted vividly on the rice paper. Lin Jia Bao was very talented in painting. The pictures that he painted all carried a lively aura, which Master Qiu, his teacher, would praise effusively.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng had specially ordered some people to dig a small artificial pond in Ping Le Courtyard to raise a few koi fish for Jia Bao to paint and enjoy.

When Xuan Yuan Han Cheng entered the courtyard, he saw his baby painting earnestly under the shade of a tree, so he did not make any noises that might disrupt him, and only stood off to one side to watch him. In his eyes, his treasure was as beautiful as a painting.

When Lin Jia Bao painted, he was completely immersed in the activity, so he did not notice that Xuan Yuan Han Cheng had come to his side.

After Lin Jia Bao finished the painting, he put down the brush. When he turned around, he saw Xuan Yuan Han Cheng standing beside him, watching him tenderly. Lin Jia Bao bowed slightly to Xuan Yuan Han Cheng, “Your Royal Highness, you’re back.”

When Lin Jia Bao woke up from his afternoon nap and didn’t see Xuan Yuan Han Cheng, he knew that he must have gone off to deal with government affairs, so he did some painting to relieve his boredom.

“Is my baby feeling bored?” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng hugged Jia Bao and murmured in his ear. He knew that his baby must be bored to death these days.

“It’s okay, I like to paint…” Lin Jia Bao knew that His Royal Highness the crown prince was very busy and could not be by his side all the time.

“My baby draws really well…” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng said softly in Lin Jia Bao’s ear. “Today, Husband is going to take you out of the palace to stroll around. At night, we will have dinner outside…”

“Really?!” Lin Jia Bao was so happy that he bounced up and down.

“Of course. Have Shu Ya help you change your clothes and then we will leave.” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng kissed Lin Jia Bao’s smiling face.

Lin Jia Bao ran inside quickly and asked Shu Ya and Shu Qin to help him prepare. In a short while, he was changed into a set of plain-colored robes for going out of the palace. On his waist, he simply wore a single jade pendant for accessory.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng also changed into a set of low-key black-colored robes.

“Yuan Qing and Yuan Fu have been waiting by the carriage outside the courtyard. In the evening, we will eat at Hongyan Building, the best restaurant in the western side of the city. You will definitely like the food of that restaurant…”

Lin Jia Bao nodded happily. He had never eaten in a restaurant before, and moreover, he would get to dine with his husband…

[T/N: Pretty sure LJB ate at a restaurant when his dad and brother came to visit, but whatever…]

“Your Royal Highness… Your Royal Highness…”

When Lin Jia Bao arrived in front of the carriage, he heard a woman’s voice calling from behind. Looking back, he saw that it was a woman that he had never seen before. The woman was not tall. She was dressed in peachy pink robes and toting around a little girl that was dolled up really adorably. There were also two maids accompanying her.

Yu Qin had brought her daughter with her to wait outside of Ping Le Courtyard, and they’ve been waiting for quite some time already. Finally, her efforts paid off and she got to see His Royal Highness, but the crown prince was in a hurry. Before she could call out to him, His Royal Highness had already disappeared inside Ping Le Courtyard.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

Yu Qin was not willing to give up. She had not seen His Royal Highness in a long time. So she continued to dither outside Ping Le Courtyard for a while. But when she saw her daughter getting tired, she could only make preparations to return in frustration.

Just as Yu Qin and her maids started walking back, she heard the sounf og horse hooves coming from behind. Looking back, she saw Yuan Fu and another eunuch from the crown prince’s palace preparing something. Yu Qin thought that His Royal Highness would definitely come out in a while, so she quietly waited some more.

After a while, she saw His Royal Highness leading a small youth out. Yu Qin knew that the small youth was Lin-xiaoshi, whom His Royal Highness now favored. She hurriedly dragged their daughter forward.

“Your Royal Highness… Your Royal Highness…”

Yu Qin had a petite but well-endowed figure. The peachy pink robes wrapped around her curvaceous body. Adding on to that was a gorgeous application of makeup that created an overall very lovely appearance.

“Yu-shi, why did you people come over here? Do you know what this place is? Who allowed you to come to Ping Le Courtyard?” Xuan Yan Han Cheng asked sternly, ignoring Yu-shi’s subtle message.

“Your Royal Highness…”

Yu Qin pushed their daughter, An’er, forward.

“This concubine knows that Ping Le Courtyard and the inner study are forbidden areas. But An’er has always missed you, so I brought her to walk around outside of Ping Le Courtyard, hoping that we might glimpse Your Royal Highness.”

When An’er felt Xuan Yuan Han Cheng’s gaze on her, she shrunk back into Yu-shi’s arms, but Yu Qin insistently and relentlessly pushed her in front of the crown prince.

“This child, haven’t you always wanted to see your father, why don’t you pay your respects to your father…”

Chapter 127

The young man [Son of Hell] glanced at him [the thunder ability user], glanced past Yuan Zheng, and then turned to look at the people in the forest.

With just a bit of effort, the S-grade ability user was completely eliminated. The opponent didn’t even have any time to put up any effective resistance.

The two sides that were locked in fierce battle just now were shocked silent. The ordinary figure in front of them looked almost like the incarnation of the God of Death, and even his dark eyes seemed to be flashing with cruel bloodlust.

The remaining ambushers didn’t have the guts to stay any longer. Seeing that he did not have the intention to kill them for the time being, they tremblingly threw down their things, turned tail, and fled in the blink of an eye.

The patrol team was not resigned. They refused to leave their captain. Even though they were terribly scared, they still gritted their teeth, ready to oppose that figure that seemed to have risen from the depth of hell itself.

The young man touched his glasses, and then turned his gaze to Yuan Zheng.

Although his eyes seemed to only carry cold indifference, Yuan Zheng ineffably did not feel any fear or dread. He merely met the other person’s gaze straight on, and his tone was even serene and gentle: “What do you want? Do you also want my blood?”

As if he was not accustomed to looking at people, that young man’s eyes only swept over Yuan Zheng’s body once, and then looked down again: “You are not strong enough.”

Yuan Zheng was stunned for a while. Finally, he let out a chuckle, took a deep breath, and then raised his head: “No matter what your intention is, you saved me and my team members. If I can get to S grade someday, you can come and get my blood at any time, all right?”

The young man seemed to be a little surprised and did not respond. He just raised his eyes to glance at him, and then he turned to leave without saying a word. But as if suddenly remembering something, he turned back and walked towards the supplies that had been carelessly abandoned.

Although they’ve been hunting the Son of Hell for more than half a year, this was the first time that they actually saw him in the flesh. No matter what the reason – maybe he had come to take his bloodthirsty vine out for a walk – the Son of Hell still saved their lives.

The members of the patrol team were all feeling a little awkward and no one knew what to say. They just stood there hesitantly and watched as the genuine Son of Hell stood in front of the scattered supplies for a while. Finally, he leaned over and picked up a box of instant noodles and the small stainless steel pot that had fallen on its side.

Black wings unfolded silently behind his back, and then his figure sank into the deep night.

……

Seeing him leave, the shadowy oppression suddenly dissipated. The team members rushed over, all scrambling to support Yuan Zheng’s body: “Captain!”

“I’m fine.”

Yuan Zheng briefly summarized his physical condition. Then his eyes swept across the crowd, and his expression suddenly changed slightly: “Where is Mu Shi?”

“He was still here just a while ago. I said it was dangerous outside and told him to hide well—”

The petardier turned around in a hurry. His expression also changed.

“Did none of you see him?!”

“I saw him looking through my medicine box, but when I asked him, he just said that he was okay…”

Remembering what had happened, the doctor spoke in a low voice, and his heart became uneasy: “There was something off about his tone. I wanted to ask him again, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye.”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Hearing what he said, everyone else felt uneasy too. The original joy of escaping danger disappeared instantly, and they immediately went back into the forest to look for the missing young man.

The night was still deep. Everyone looked around anxiously, but they couldn’t find him at all.

“Could it be that he was taken away by the Son of Hell? Xiao Shi’s ability and the Son of Hell’s ability are exactly the same. Maybe he will be targeted…”

The deputy team leader started to speak anxiously, but Yuan Zheng interrupted him in a low voice: “No, the Son of Hell is actually simpler and purer than we thought. I believe he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.”

These people had just witnessed the Son of Hell juice an S-grade thunder ability user alive, and now they were hearing their own captain say that the Son of Hell was simple and pure in such a calm and confident tone.

Everyone was still trembling in fear from the terrifying shadow cast by their experience with the Son of Hell. When they heard Yuan Zheng’s words, they looked at him in disbelief.

“You guys rest first. I’ll go look some more.”

Yuan Zheng didn’t explain much. He looked at his team members who had all sustained some injuries, more or less. He lightly spoke a sentence, turned, and walked towards the depths of the forest.

Chapter 71 – To Live With Another (Sangeng)

Lin Man Man said: “I’m sorry. It’s not that I doubt you. I just couldn’t believe it.”

Even with her family background and status, she has never seen such a miraculous medicine before. And for it to come from the hands of the dissolute young master of the Duan family was even more unbelievable.

Duan Shu Tong suddenly had a thought. “Are you asking me this for someone else? As a matter of fact, everyone’s situation is different. If you tailor the right medicine for the problem, the results will be even better.”

“So you’re saying… to specifically create a medicine [for the problem]?” Lin Man Man thought that she must be dreaming.

This was the disparity in pharmaceuticals between the two worlds.

From Duan Shu Tong’s point of view, Spring Flower No. 2 was simply child’s play, but to Lin Man Man, it was like a miracle.

“Yes, if the other party is willing.” Duan Shu Tong replied with a confident smile.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Someone who could become Lin Man Man’s friend must not be an ordinary person. If he could cure that person’s ailment then it would be good advertisement for the Spring and Autumn Hall. With this one move, he could obtain many gains in the future.

Lin Man Man hesitated for a few seconds: “Okay, I’ll ask him.”

Duan Shu Tong thought that he would be waiting for a while before he got an answer. He did not expect to receive a call from Lin Man Man the following day, saying that she and her friend were already on their way.

Such high efficiency.

In order to ensure confidentiality, Duan Shu Tong decided to meet them in his house.

When he got home after work, Duan Shu Tong saw two people sneakily waiting outside his home. For fear of being recognized, the two people were decked out in hats, sunglasses, and facemasks.

Upon seeing Duan Shu Tong, Lin Man Man waved her hand as a greeting but didn’t say anything.

Duan Shu Tong nodded and opened the door to let them in. He led them to the living room and then poured three cups of water for everyone.

Lin Man Man had already taken off her disguise, but the man beside her was still fully wrapped up.

It was not until Duan Shu Tong came over with the water that the man raised his head and said, “Thank you.”

The man had a nice voice. It was clear and sonorous.

The man got up in due course and extended his hand. His each and every movement spoke of training and education. “Nice to meet you, Young Master Duan. I am Lu Shi.”

Duan Shu Tong shook hands with him, “Mr. Lu, please take a seat.”

Seeing how calm Duan Shu Tong was, Lin Man Man was a little surprised. “You don’t recognize him?”

Now it was Duan Shu Tong’s turn to be surprised: “Mr. Lu… is he a celebrity?”

Lin Man Man opened her mouth, about to speak, but Lu Shi stretched out his hand to placate her. He smiled lightly. Then, in front of Duan Shu Tong, he took off his sunglasses and mask to reveal his face.

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

There were indeed traces of damage on his face, but his eyes were calm and clear, and he looked at Duan Shu Tong seriously. Seeing that the young man did not show any surprise or hesitation, his eyes gradually cheered up, “Can it be treated?”

Duan Shu Tong observed his face carefully.

There were obvious traces of a skin grafting operation, so his overall face did not look very harmonious, but it wasn’t too bad. Duan Shu Tong was confident that he could restore the other man’s face to look more natural.

With certainty, he said: “Yes.”

Lin Man Man was full of surprise, “Lu-shixiong*, that’s great!”

[*T/N: 师兄 shi xiong – refers to a senior male who is a fellow student under the same instructor. Senior in this case means that he was accepted as a student first, and is not necessarily indicative of age.]

Lu Shi was obviously very excited, but his upbringing meant that he had strong self-control. Yet his voice still trembled slightly as he asked: “How long would it take?”

“Your condition is not considered bad. A conservative estimation is two or three months.”

Duan Shu Tong’s so-called “conservative estimation” already sounded very hard-core to the other two people. Although there were still doubts in their hearts, at least they finally found a glimmer of hope.

“One more thing,” Duan Shu Tong took a sip of water, “I need three days to develop the ointment, and a week to observe Mr. Lu’s condition, so Mr. Lu needs to stay here for ten days.”

Lin Man Man said in an unrestraint manner: “I will have someone buy a house here.”

Lu Shi looked at Duan Shu Tong, waiting for his decision.

Duan Shu Tong replied: “For convenience, you can stay with me.”

When the man smiled, the skin on his face looked a little strange, “Okay.”

Only then did Duan Shu Tong reveal his fox tail*. “Now, let’s talk about the price.”

[*T/N: Foxes are often associated with tricksters or evil spirits in Chinese mythology, so to reveal one’s fox tail means to reveal one’s evil intentions. Of course, in this case it is meant playfully.]

“How much?” Lin Manman asked casually.

“8888 yuan.”

Lin Man Man: “…”

Spring Flower No. 2 was only 888 yuan. Custom-made medicine was indeed much more expensive, although 8888 yuan was a mere trifle for her.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

Lu Shi didn’t hesitate: “Done.”

Duan Shu Tong smiled: “Also, during your stay, household duties and food money will be shared equally.”

Lin Man Man: !!!

She has never seen anyone make Film Emperor Lu do housework before!

“Haha,” the handsome young man smiled slyly, “Just kidding.”

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

Just like that, the estrangement between strangers disappeared in an instant.

Chapter 130.2 – The New Mayor

The gears in An Zi Ran’s brain turned rapidly.

The Chang Province’s human population was highly mobile, especially before and after natural disasters. But it was close to several provinces with even greater population mobility; so locking down a labor force was not a problem.

The most important thing was that Chang Province was close to the capital, so if a problem arises it would not be beyond their sphere of influence.

“Let’s go with that. After going back, you send someone out to do a survey for me to see where is more suitable…”

When An Zi Ran was almost done talking, Fu Wu Tian opened his mouth and asked, “Wangfei, the matters in Ali Xiang are almost hone, when do you plan to go back?”

An Zi Ran thought for a while and replied: “When Xu Wei Ye died, the mayor position was vacated. I need to find someone who can take on this important task without being like Xu Wei Ye.”

Zhong Yue has been helping during this period, but she couldn’t stay here forever, and he didn’t plan to leaver her in Ali Xiang, otherwise Ge Qian An’s heart would be stuck in Ali Xiang, and he would no longer have the mood to help him do things.

“Doesn’t wangfei already have a candidate in mind?”

Fu Wu Tian’s gaze shifted to a person who just passed by outside the window. That person was only thirteen years old this year, but he was very tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall. No one would think that he was only thirteen years old.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

An Zi Ran noticed his gaze and followed it downwards. His eyes immediately landed on the self-confident Ta Li. Last time he heard the two women talking, so he had someone go and investigate Ta Li. The results were that Ta Li was indeed as his mother had said, he was a rare genius and he has a good reputation. He has been very warmhearted since he was a child. All the people around him liked him and had nothing but praises for him whenever his name was brought up.

Although Ta Li was mentally prepared, he was still surprised when he heard that people from the Imperial Fu Palace were looking for him. This was much faster than he had expected.

Xu Manor. Right now, it has already been changed into the Fu Manor.

Xu Wei Ye probably never expected that he would toil for ten years, but in the end, all of his things would fall into the hands of Fu-wangye, including the Xu Manor, which he had used a lot of money to build.

“Ta Li-gongzi, the wangfei invites you in.”

Zhong Yue was ordered to bring Ta Li inside.

Ta Li has seen her around before.

When he came back out it was an hour later. Although Ta Li had the mentality of an adult, he was still a thirteen-year-old boy after all, and the sudden good news made him overjoyed. His face showed unconcealed joy.

“Ta Li.”

Seeing him come back, the crowd gathered around him with strong curiosity. They all heard it when someone from the Imperial Fu Palace came to summon Ta Li.

“Ta Li, what did the people from the Imperial Fu Palace want from you? Seeing your happy appearance, it’s a good thing, isn’t it?” A woman couldn’t wait to ask. If it were a good thing, she would be happy too. She saw Ta Li grew up with her own eyes after all.

Ta Li nodded heartily, “It is indeed a good thing.”

Everyone would know sooner or later anyways, and he had nothing to hide.

“What kind of good thing, tell us so that we can be happy [for you] too. By the way, have you seen the wangye and wangfei? Word has it that they’re good looking.”

Ta Li smiled and said: “I saw them. They’re both good looking.”

At that moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded from outside the perimeter of the crowd.

The lively atmosphere suddenly became quieter. This voice was no stranger to the crowd. In fact, it was even very familiar.

They worked at the herbal hall. The herbal hall was a distinguishing feature of Ali Xiang, because Ali Xiang was abundant in wild medicinal plants.

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

Some time ago, the Imperial Fu Palace opened several herbal halls. Each herbal hall recruited nearly twenty workers, and Ta Li worked in one of those herbal halls. However, he was very good in all aspects of his work, so there were people who thought that he was fully capable of being the head of the herbal hall. Therefore, it inevitably aroused some people’s jealousy.

“Ta Li, ignore them. Quickly, tell us, what did the Imperial Fu Palace summon you for?”

The woman was worried that those jealous people would ruin his mood, so she quickly changed the subject.

Ta Li was not an impulsive kid, so of course he would not fuss with those people too much. If he were narrow-minded, he would’ve long started a fight with them.

“Actually, it’s not a particularly big thing. They just asked me if I have the confidence to be the mayor of Ali Xiang.”

When they heard the first sentence, everyone thought that it really wasn’t some big thing, but then in the next sentence he said the word “mayor.” Outside of the Imperial Fu Palace, the mayor was the highest official rank. If the people of the Imperial Fu Palace left in the future, then the mayor would be the biggest official in Ali Xiang. How could this not be a big deal?

Even the envious people in the herbal hall showed expressions of astonishment, as if they were pinched by their throats.

Chapter 79 – Another Marking

After saying this, Qiu Jin let go of Wen Mojia and stood in front fo the mirror to straighten out his clothes.

Tongguang?

Why would he mention Tongguang all of a sudden? Who was Tongguang?

After a long silence, Wen Mojia finally reacted.

Ji Tongguang was the male protagonist in the drama “The Rise and Fall of the World.” The lines just now came from a scene in the book where Ji He and the male protagonist were pitted against each other.

After realizing this, Wen Mojia froze in place. In his mind, he replayed Qiu Jin’s performance again.

When most people played the bad guy, they would either be sneering incessantly with a malicious face, or fuming with rage between gritted teeth while menacing someone. That was also how Wen Mojia had acted out the role during the audition, and he was even afraid that he wasn’t being ferocious enough.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

But Qiu Jin did it the other way around. That’s right, Ji He was sent to another country as a hostage prince since he was a child, and the brutal court life taught him to restrain his sharpness and temper. His evilness was not as exposed as ordinary people. Instead, he would just use his usual flat expression to say what he thought was right.

Interpreting horror with tender expressions, it was even more hair-raising than shouting and screaming.

Wen Mojia leaned against the wall in frustration. He had no choice but to accept reality. In terms of acting skills, perhaps, he was indeed inferior to Qiu Jin.

At this moment, there was a sudden “click” sound from within the bathroom. The door to one of the bathroom stalls opened. A long leg wrapped in suit pants stepped out.

The man’s suit was very upright. His appearance was genial. His deep black eyes zoomed in on his face.

Qiu Jin’s body froze instantly.

Why was Jiang Ming here?

Qiu Jin took a step back subconsciously, and he didn’t know if it was a misconception, but when he met the other man’s gaze, Qiu Jin felt his glands swell up.

As if he did not expect such a big reaction, the man showed a benevolent smile, and narrowed his peach blossom eyes: “Did I scare you?”

“N, no, I’m just a little surprised.” Qiu Jin braced himself and greeted the other man, “Greetings, Jiang-laoshi.”

[T/N: 老师 laoshi means “teacher,” but it doesn’t necessarily mean the person being addressed is a teacher. It’s often used as an honorific in different professions as a sign of respect.]

“Just call me Jiang Ming.” Jiang Ming had a good temper and gave him a gentle smile, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”

Qiu Jin was very embarrassed: “We didn’t choose a good place…”

“But it allowed me to see a good show.”

Qiu Jin: “…”

“I mean it literally,” Jiang Ming explained, “If I’m not mistaken, you said the lines in the TV series just now, right? It was wonderful. If I were the director, I would choose you, too.”

Apart from thanking him for the compliment, Qiu Jin didn’t know what to say.

They had already walked out into the garden while exchanging words. In June, Beijing has entered midsummer. There was a breeze blowing under the promenade, but it was not very comfortable to stay for too long.

Qiu Jin was about to leave when he heard Jiang Ming ask him, “Do you want to go participate in some activities?”

Jiang Feihong’s birthday is an all-day event. In addition to the banquet at noon, there are also some themed activities in the afternoon, such as movie viewing, various themed tea parties, and some indoor entertainment programs.

After all, it wasn’t easy to gather so many people together, so everyone regarded this event as a social platform.

Qiu Jin shook his head: “There are too many people, I don’t want to go.”

Moreover, he didn’t know if it was because the weather was too hot, but he felt that something was wrong with him. His glands were swollen. After thinking about it carefully, the last temporary mark was a week ago.

He should have Ji Shenxiao bite another mark on him tonight.

Qiu Jin was lost in thought and didn’t pay attention to what was in front of him for a while. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Jiang Ming’s face had already appeared in front of him.

Qiu Jin’s body froze, and he couldn’t help but take a step back: “What did you say?”

“I said, do you want to sit over there?” Jiang Ming showed a slightly lively smile, “After all, we have to act as husband and wife, so we need to cultivate our relationship in advance.”

Qiu Jin: “…”

If Qiu Jin had known that Jiang Ming was Xu Ziyu, he would never have auditioned for the show. If only Yi Congqing hadn’t told the media about it, then he could have found an excuse to quit.

But now, almost the entire entertainment industry knew…

Chapter 69 – Relatives and Friends

Over the next few days, Lin Da Li’s family often visited Lin Da Zhuang’s family. After a while of this, everyone in Lin Jia Village noticed that Lin Da Zhuang and Lin Da Li’s families have reconciled.

After that, Lin Chun Er also brought her husband over to visit. Lin Chun Er’s husband thought of himself as an exceptional literary talent, and often brought literary works for Lin Jia Wen to comment on. Lin Jia Wen got a headache from reading those unintelligible articles, so he kindly mentioned a few words, but unexpectedly, Lin Chun Er’s husband found his words galling, thinking that this tangge* was intentionally disparaging his talent.

[*T/N: 堂哥 tangge – older male patrilineal cousin]

After visiting a couple of times, Lin Chun Er’s husband refused to come with her to visit anymore. In his opinion, this Lin Jia Wen’s literary knowledge was not very good, and that it was probably just due to luck that he managed to pass the county level imperial exam.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Just look at that Lin Jia Wen’s reckless appearance. He didn’t look like a scholar at all. How could that country bumpkin compare to someone of his level of scholarly bearing, ah… Thinking like this, Lin Chun Er’s husband was full of confidence for the preliminary round of imperial examinations in the coming year.

The fact that he hasn’t even become a tongsheng* yet must be due to bad luck. Maybe he needed to go to the temple to pray and burn some incense…

[*T/N: 童生 tongsheng – candidate who has not yet passed the county level imperial exam]

On the other hand, Zhou Hai’s mother was feeling apprehensive, and she said to Zhou Mu: “Say… the marriage between our Da Hai and Li Er… there won’t be any changes, right…?”

“How could there be any, ah… Do you not trust Da Zhuang and his family’s moral quality…?” Zhou Mu was not worried at all.

“That’s right…” Zhou Hai’s mother, Han Xiao Yi, felt relieved after thinking about it. “Zhang Hui Niang really is lucky, ah. All of her children are so outstanding.”

“Our family’s Da Hai is not bad either. Recently, Da Hai has been working hard. The bear that he hunted and brought back two days ago got a lot of money for its hide… This year, the harvest in the field is also good. After the New Year, let’s tidy up the house. When they get marry next year, we should live in a new house.” Zhou Mu said, making plans for the coming year. Since his son was working so hard, then as his parents, they should naturally offer a hand.

Zhou Hai’s heart has not been calm these days. He just got engaged with Lin Li’er, and he was very happy. Lin Li Er was a very energetic and assertive girl. Although some people in the village thought of her as shrewish, too bold and vigorous, Da Hai did not agree. Lin Li Er was the girl that had liked since he was a child. It was precisely her straightforwardness and handsome grace that he liked.

After Lin Jia Bao entered the palace, Lin Li Er cried in front of him for a long time. Lin Li Er told him that Lin Jia Bao took the initiative to enter the palace because of her. Lin Jia Bao was obviously younger than her, but he asked to enter the palace because he was afraid of affecting her marriage with Zhou Hai.

Zhou Hai has always been full of gratitude towards Lin Jia Bao, and this time he was surprised to hear that Lin Jia Bao became His Royal Highness’s xiaoshi. In his heart, he prayed for the heavens to ensure that Lin Jia Bao could live well in the palace. Zhou Hai knew that in this way, the Lin family’s life would definitely get better and better. Zhou Hai thought that he would also work hard, and when Lin Li Er married him, he would also work hard to make her life even happier.

Lin Jia Bao was very excited when he got the letter from home. His brother wrote about all the things that happened at home. His second older sister and Da Hai gege were going to get married in the coming year. He was very happy for them. Lin Jia Bao read the letter over and over again, and then carefully placed the letter in a box for safekeeping.

[*T/N: 哥哥 gege – older brother, can be used as a term of endearment or respect for any older male, doesn’t have to be blood related. In modern day, it can also have the connotation of “boyfriend.” Not too sure about ancient times though.]

“Second Sister is going to marry Da Hai gege next year.” Lin Jia Bao said with a smile.

“Da Hai gege…” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng raised his eyebrows.

“Yeah, Da Hai gege is a very good person. When I was young, Da Hai gege brought my second sister and me up the mountains to pick wild fruits. It was so fun.” Lin Jia Bao reminisced about his childhood. He, his second sister, and Da Hai gege were similar in age, so they grew up playing together.

“In the future, don’t call him Da Hai gege anymore. It should be Second Brother-in-law…” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng corrected Jia Bao. He didn’t like hearing Jia Bao calling Da Hai by such an affectionate appellation. It made him feel unhappy.

“I know. Da Hai gege has been saying he wanted to be my Second Brother-in-law ever since he was a child. Sometimes, my second sister would be very fierce towards him, but Da Hai gege would not get angry.” Lin Jia Bao said with a grin.

“My darling can be fierce to his husband, and this husband also would not get angry.” Hearing Jia Bao praise that Da Hai gege, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng felt jealousy well up in his heart.

“I don’t know how to be fierce to other people, ah…” Lin Jia Bao curled his hands into paws, pretending to be a little tiger. “Rawr…”

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng suddenly pressed Jia Bao down onto the bed. He caressed and kissed Jia Bao all over. “Darling… my darling…” His precious treasure was so adorable and loveable…

Chapter 78 – Another Marking (26.1)

By the end of the luncheon, all the actors at the scene have heard the news that Qiu Jin got the part of Ji He.

Those unfamiliar with him just spared him a glance. But there were some people who took the initiative to come up and greet him. What’s more, people who didn’t even look at him before were suddenly greeting him now.

Qiu Jin was already very familiar with this kind of change in behavior in people. He was too lazy to deal with these people and was about to go to the bathroom to hide for a bit.

When Qiu Jin came out of the bathroom, he saw Wen Mojia standing at the door with a dark face, staring at him with a bad expression.

Qiu Jin tried to go around the other man after washing his hands, but someone grabbed his arm.

Qiu Jin glanced at him, “Is something wrong?”

Seeing how leisurely he was, Wen Mojia’s expression sank a little bit, and he gritted his teeth to say: “Don’t think that I don’t know what you are relying on to climb the ladder.”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

“You know?” Qiu Jin suddenly burst out with laughter, “Then why don’t you tell me what I am relying on?”

“You…” Wen Mojia just wanted to threaten Qiu Jin, but he didn’t expect the other person to be so shameless, so his anger came out, “Shameless, I saw everything at the company that day!”

“What did you see?” Qiu Jin suppressed the smile on his face, stepped closer, and asked again, “Say it, what did you see?”

Wen Mojia raised his head, and fell into Qiu Jin’s pitch-black eyes. Qiu Jin’s imposing aura was astonishing. It was at this time that Wen Mojia realized that he was actually a bit shorter than Qiu Jin.

But it was Qiu Jin who did the wrong thing, so what did Wen Mojia have to be afraid of? Thinking of this, Wen Mojia suddenly felt confident. He raised his chin and said, “I saw you get in Ji Shenxiao’s car!”

Once he said this kind of provoking sentence, Wen Mojia no longer restrained himself. His eyes swept over Qiu Jin obscenely, and he said directly: “Just what does Ji Shenxiao see in you? Or does he think it’s more fun to top an alpha?”

Qiu Jin’s breathing paused for a second. In the next moment, he grabbed Wen Mojia’s arm and slammed him against the wall.

“What are you doing!” Wen Mojia panicked immediately after being caught off guard by this attack. But he couldn’t move at all, because Qiu Jin was currently holding him by the head, and the left side of his face was tightly pressed against the cold tiles of the wall.

“This is just a small warning,” Qiu Jin suppressed both of Wen Mojia’s hands with his right hand, while his left hand pressed down on Wen Mojia’s head. He spoke each word clearly, “Food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can’t be said indiscriminately*.”

[*T/N: “Food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can’t be said indiscriminately” is a Chinese saying. Eating indiscriminately is at most harmful to one’s own body, but talking indiscriminately may hurt others, cause disputes, and cause scourge. It has the same meaning as calamity comes from the mouth, so be careful what you say.]

Wen Mojia got angry, and he said irresponsibly, “How am I talking nonsense? If Ji Shenxiao wasn’t protecting you, would you be able to win that role?”

Wen Mojia has been feeling so aggrieved lately. Although his acting skills were not superb, he was by no means a vase man. He had good looks, popularity, and investment, but he was still suppressed by Qiu Jin, who was inferior to him in every way. If this wasn’t a case of the casting couch then what was it?

Particularly those in the banquet hall just now, they were looking at him as if they wanted to directly write the word ‘loser’ on this face.

Qiu Jin paused for a while, and then said, “That’s how you see me?”

Wen Mojia sneered: “How else? Do you really think your acting is superb?”

Qiu Jin was silent for a while. Suddenly, he started to smile. It was completely inappropriate for the occasion. It was clearly the gentle type of smile, but it made Wen Mojia tremble despite not being cold.

Wen Mojia was stunned. He opened his mouth, not even realizing how much his voice was trembling: “What, what are you smiling about?”

“I’m smiling at your naivety,” while smiling faintly, Qiu Jin said the most shocking words in the gentlest tone, “You’re talking to me like this. Do you really think that I don’t dare to kill you?”

Wen Mojia’s eyes widened suddenly.

At that moment, he seemed to feel that there was a pair of hands grabbing his heart, and the fear invaded his skin from every pore, making him feel like he has falled into an ice cave.

Wen Mojia fell into a frantic battle inside his mind.

It’s impossible. They were all people with status and prestige. How could Qiu Jin kill him off so easily?

But Qiu Jin was originally a lunatic, what if he was speaking for real? Even if Qiu Jin ended up in prison at the end, Wen Mojia would not be able to return from the dead! Moreover, Qiu Jin was intimately related to Ji Shenxiao, and with that person’s means, it was not impossible to get rid of someone…

The more Wen Mojia thought about it, the more frightened he became. Just when he was about to beg for mercy, he suddenly heard Qiu Jin say, “Am I right, Tongguang?”

Chapter 8 – Dare to Be Distracted?

An Ji’s gaze flittered back and forth until it finally landed on Li Rong’s neck.

Li Rong was dressed in black today. His neck was fair and slender, while his Adam’s apple protruded out. When An Ji’s eyes landed on Li Rong’s Adam’s apple, Li Rong swallowed.

“What are you looking at?” Li Rong asked suddenly.

Unexpectedly, he was caught peeking, An Ji looked away and blurted out, “Can you let me go?”

Li Rong: “…”

An Ji: “…”

An Ji wanted to say something else to remedy the situation, but to his surprise he stumbled as soon as his feet touched the ground. He was unable to control his body as his knees folded beneath him.

Damn.

His knees were like jelly…

He was kissed until he went weak at the knees…

An Ji left he alley with a sour expression on his face. Rather than being shy or embarrassed, he felt gloomy. They were both kissing, but why was he the one with weak knees and a covetous heart?

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Was there really such a big difference between an alpha’s and an omega’s physical strength?

No, no, that’s not right. It must be because he drank the inducer and was on the verge of heat, and that’s why he’s so weak. Yes, that made sense. If Li Rong were nearing his rut, then Li Rong would be the one with weakened knees from kissing!

But the covetous and jealous look in Li Rong’s eyes…

An Ji recalled Li Rong’s expression while they were kissing. The man was cold yet passionate. He was like an unfeeling glacier, but also like a flaming fire.

Thinking of this, Anji suddenly felt a familiar throbbing. An Ji’s footsteps stagnated, and he gritted his teeth sharply, suppressing the moan that almost slipped out.

What foul luck. The throbbing that had been soothed just now was boiling up again.

An Ji lowered his eyelashes and his eyes fell on Li Rong’s slender hands. These were the hands that cradled the back of his head and wrapped around his lower back. His eyes trailed up Li Rong’s arms to his fair neck and thin yet elegant lips.

Not enough…

He wanted to…

He wanted to kiss him and to exchange pheromones with him…

Li Rong came to a stop: “What’s wrong?”

“Not…” An Ji quickly lowered his head, “Nothing!”

On the contrary, such a hasty denial only showed that he had something to hide.

Li Rong didn’t ask any further. He just took An Ji by the hand and said, “The car is parked under the Vermilion Bird Bridge. We will be there soon.”

The moment Li Rong touched his skin, An Ji’s tense body finally relaxed, and he couldn’t help letting out a sigh.

It was really scary. Just by holding hands, he got a sense of being appeased, and he couldn’t stop himself from wanting to get even closer to the other person.

The thirst for an alpha was written into the genes of every omega. For an omega that was in heat, every cell in his body was screaming for an alpha.

He wanted to let the other person pamper him. He wanted the other person to ferociously take possession of him.

In his previous life, An Ji fought against his omega instincts all his life.

He called on omegas to be independent and self-reliant; to reproduce with whomever they chose, and even advocated relying on inhibitors to get through their estrus period. In a world ran by alphas, he wanted omegas to toss aside their subservient position and take control of their own fate.

He set out with high spirits, great energy, and lofty determination, but he failed.

He failed utterly and completely.

So in this life…

Looking at the tall and straight young man with his eyes facing forward, An Ji felt the center of his palms getting hot. An Ji clenched Li Rong’s left hand tightly. Then he suddenly shoved Li Rong onto the car hood.

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

In this life, he decided to follow his instincts and indulge this once.

Who said that omegas could only let themselves be possessed by alphas? His body belonged to him. He had the right to take the initiative too!

As soon as Li Rong unlocked the car, An Ji pushed him onto the hood of the car. Immediately afterwards, the youth impetuous fragrant, and sweet lips pressed upon his lips.

Li Rong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly wrapped around An Ji’s body and deepened the kiss.

The Vermilion Bird Bridge was a landmark construction in the black market. The bridge spanned a wide underground river and connected to the Chinese-style pavilions and high-rise buildings on the other side. The contrast of different styles made this place a popular spot to visit, and it was quite famous on the star network.

This place was no more remote than the alley just now, and An Ji was also carried away by the pheromones, so that’s why he rushed into the second kiss so recklessly.

It was a pity that just when he pushed Li Rong down he saw a group of girls looking over in excitement. An Ji wanted to back off, but Li Rong grabbed him, flipped him around, and pressed An Ji under him.

Their positions were suddenly reversed.

An Ji could hear the girls near by letting out excited gasps.

“Hot damn, what am I seeing???”

“…Oh damn, isn’t this too lewd? That omega is being kissed until his legs are soft.”

“I’m blushing, ahhh, I’m blushing. Such an extraordinary and exceptionally fierce alpha! So awesome!”

……

At first, An Ji still had enough presence of mind to pay attention to the girls’ chatter, but soon his mind became muddled and his limbs turned weak. All of his attention was stolen away by Li Rong.

An Ji dazedly urged Li Rong to get into the car.

The onlookers sighed regretfully: “Waaah, I also want to be held by an alpha like that!”

“Chicken coop warning!”

[T/N: “Chicken coop warning” is a Chinese Internet buzzword. Someone who speaks very arrogantly or strangely is called a “saucy chicken.” So the phrase “chicken coop warning” is used to warn that person that they will be locked in the chicken coop if they don’t stop talking nonsense right away.]

Let Me Shoulder this Blame! 126

Chapter 126

The thunder ability user felt like he was receiving an amnesty. His body was already half weak with fright, and he spoke hurriedly: “The Dr. Dark from central base who used you guys to perform human experiments, and the one who experimented with all kinds of drugs on you guys is still alive! Don’t you want to take revenge? I know where he is. I will take you to go find him. Just let me go…”

Hearing what he said, Yuan Zheng’s suspicion was finally fully confirmed, and his gaze sank.

No wonder that Dr. He was secretly collecting blood serum, and he had even put a serial number on Mu Shi’s sample—if all of this was explained by human experimentation, then it would make sense.

After the central base was destroyed, everyone had heard of the notoriety of that Dr. Dark, and they all knew that he had done too many maddening things. If these two people were indeed the same, sooner or later, this crazy careerist would destroy the entire base, and even cause all humans to pay a tragic price.

Since the blood serum matter now had a plausible explanation, it was not difficult to guess the cause and reason behind the ambush this time.

Yuan Zheng’s eyes were slightly cold, and his tone fell sharply. “He’s at base B, isn’t he?”

Between the two of them, it was obvious that the stronger thunder element was more favored by the bloodthirsty vine, and Yuan Zheng got a rare opportunity to repair [himself] instead.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Although he didn’t dare to release his abilities, he had secretly absorbed a few crystal nuclei, and most of his internal injuries were recovered. Right now, he still had the strength to fight.

The thunder ability user had originally planned to use this as a negotiation chip, but he didn’t expect that the other party had guessed the secret, and even said it so straightforwardly.

The thunder ability user turned to him sharply, and was speechless, but there was already anger brimming in his eyes, and he could only deny it with all his heart: “Nonsense! How could you know-”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly choked and groaned. The bloodthirsty vine had already been sent into his body, and his blood was being sucked into the vine.

“You know where he is, so you’re on the same side as him.”

Even when he mentioned his nemesis, the young man’s tone was still rigid and bland, as if he was just stating an ordinary fact.

The person with the thunder ability widened his eyes in astonishment, fixedly looking at him, and suddenly some regret appeared in his eyes.

No wonder Dr. Dark was so afraid of the Son of Hell. Since he was a person that could survive alone in the wilderness in this post-apocalyptic world, then he would not only have just a powerful and terrifying ability.

He was annoyed at himself for thinking himself so clever. He was almost ready to die, only to find that the bloodthirsty vine’s eating rate was gradually slowing down and finally stopped.

Suddenly there was a vague hope. The thunder ability user raised his head with a pale complexion, hoping that he had satisfied the appetite of the bloodthirsty vine. But the young man raised his head and looked over. All of a sudden, he lifted his hand and clenched.

There was a sudden, intense pain in his head.

Before he could react, his crystal nucleus had crumbled instantly. The huge amount of power within his body lost its restraint, spewed out of his body, and was swallowed by the mutant tropical pitcher plant in the blink of an eye.

“De- Devil…”

His crystal nucleus was shattered, so his abilities would disappear completely and his body would be irreversibly damaged. Although he would survive, he would become inferior to even ordinary people.

Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels (dot) com

The thunder ability user was shocked and regretful. His chest rose and fell fiercely. Suddenly he staggered and knelt on the ground. He vomited blood, and instantly painted a piece of the ground bloody red.

He was only momentarily enticed by the conditions offered by Dr. Dark, and so he accepted the commission to ambush the patrol team, but did not expect to provoke such a terrifying opponent.

He was deeply regretful, but he had no chance to speak out. The light in his eyes quickly dimmed. His body stiffly fell to the ground and after shaking twice he stopped moving.

To strong ability users, even if their crystal nucleus collapsed, their spiritual power wouldn’t dissipate so quickly. As long as they used their spiritual power promptly to mend themselves, they could still continue to live on.

But his will was already swallowed up by fear and despair. He had even given up on saving himself. In just a short span of time, he thoroughly ceased all signs of activity.

Chapter 68 – Relatives and Friends

Ke Mei Li acted as she did not perceive Zhang Hui Niang’s anger, and she cried even harder. “Dasao*, I’m kneeling for you. I’m begging you and Older Brother, please don’t be angry with me and Da Li.” As she said this, Ke Mei Li knelt in front of the gate to the courtyard and refused to get up no matter how Zhang Hui Niang tried to pull her up. “Dasao, if you don’t forgive me, I won’t get up.”

[*T/N: 大嫂 dasao can mean “older brother’s wife,” “sister-in-law,” or “elder sister” as a respectful appellation for an older married woman]

Lin Da Li also knelt down. More and more villagers came over to watch the show.

Lin Da Zhuang came out and looked at the spectacle right outside of his front door. “All of you come in, ba…”

Ke Mei Li and Lin Da Li knelt down again after entering the house, and Ke Mei Li started to howl again. “Dage, Dasao! Please forgive us. Back then, we were blinded by money…”

“Dage, I know that I am wrong. I know that I was exempted from the family rules and discipline. You guys must be angry in your hearts. Dage, how about you hit me? If beating me will disperse your anger, then beat me fiercely, ba…”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Lin Da Li took out the wooden stick that he had brought with him. He hit himself hard on the head twice and then handed the wooden stick over to Lin Da Zhuang.

Lin Da Zhuang sighed as he watched the blood dripping from his brother’s forehead. “Why are you doing this…?”

Off to one side, Ke Mei Li also cried, “Our family’s Chun Er is having a hard time. Although things look glamorous on the outside, she is still a chongxi* bride. Her days are… And our family doesn’t have much money, and Chun Er doesn’t have any maternal brothers to rely on…”

[*T/N: chongxi bride – a bride taken into the family in hopes of bringing in good luck, because a wedding is considered an auspicious event. In this case, the Wang family had Chun Er marry into the family in hopes of curing their son who was sick in bed.]

“Dage, lately I have been thinking a lot about the bitter days we used to have. At that time, our parents passed away, and I was still young. It was dage who raised me, ah… For my sake, dage has suffered a lot. I was really seduced by the devil, I really shouldn’t have…” Lin Da Li cried as he spoke.

Lin Da Zhuang listened to his younger brother’s, Lin Da Li’s, words and he could not help feeling somewhat emotional as he reminisced about the past.

“Dage, in the end we are brothers born from the same parents. Even if our parents are buried underground, they certainly wouldn’t want to see us brothers at odds with each other, ah…” Lin Da Li saw Lin Da Zhuang softening somewhat and knelt down again. “Dage, for the sake of our parents, forgive me this one time, ba.”

Lin Da Zhuang didn’t know what to do. He glanced at Zhang Hui Niang and saw that she was maintaining her silence. He sighed, “The two of you, get up first.”

Zhang Hui Niang knew in her heart that even though Lin Da Zhuang said that he would cut off relations with Lin Da Li, he still cared about familial affection, and he still cared for the younger brother that he had raised.

“Get up quickly, Dage has forgiven us…” In response to Lin Da Zhuang’s words, Ke Mei Li immediately put away her crying face and showed a smiling expression. “Dage, Dasao, about the matter before, we were really wrong. Fortunately, your family’s Jia Bao, ah, has a good home in the palace. In the future when you have glory, splendor, wealth, and rank, you must not forget about us, ah…”

Lin Da Li saw Zhang Hui Niang’s expression darken again and quickly nudged Ke Mei Li, “This woman… what are you talking about!”

Lin Da Li winked at Ke Mei Li, “Haha, Dage, Dasao, don’t mind, ah! Your sister-in-law is this type of virtuous person.”

Ke Mei Li also knew how to read the atmosphere, and immediately changed the subject. “Where’s Jia Wen? Why don’t we see…?”

“Jia Wen is studying in his room…” Lin Da Zhuang replied.

“He’s studying, ah… then it’s better not to disturb him. Jia Wen is really hardworking. Our Chun Er’s husband is also someone who likes literature. In the future they can meet and discuss essays or something, haha…” Ke Mei Li said while chuckling.

“Then what about the little grandson? Can we see him? This is the first child of our family’s youngest generation…” Lin Da Li said.

“That’s right, that’s right! Dasao, take a look. I specially went to the county’s best silverware store for this. It’s solid gold.” Ke Mei Li smiled and handed Zhang Hui Niang the longevity lock that she had brought with her.

One does not hit a smiling person in the face. Zhang Hui Niang could only accept it. She had Xiu Er go and ask Wu-shi to carry the baby out. Originally, she was afraid of disturbing the child, so she had Wu-shi and the others stay in the room without coming out.

In a short while, Wu-shi came out carrying her baby. He was bundled in red and looked like a candlestick. Ke Mei Li started praising as soon as Bo Ge Er showed up.

“What a handsome child, ah… Dasao, you guys raised him really well, ah. Look at how robust and sturdy this child is, ah…”

Bo Ge Ee gurgled happily as if he could tell that someone was praising him.

“Dage, Dasao, ah, your family is different from before, why don’t you buy a few servants to serve you? Then you can save on some labor and live comfortably, ah… Our family has two maids that serve us pretty well. How about I send them over tomorrow…”

“No need, no need, there isn’t much to do in the house. We don’t need any servants.” Zhang Hui Niang did not feel that their family was any different from before.

In the evening, Lin Da Zhuang and them finally saw off Lin Da Li and Ke Mei Li who had been kissing up to them all day.

[T/N: Ugh, I’m hoping that Xuan Yuan Han Cheng will do something about Lin Da Li’s family in the future, so that they don’t keep leeching off of Jia Bao’s family. Or maybe Lin Da Li’s family will actually turn over a new leaf, but my hopes are not high on that front. >_<]
