"Why should I stop when no one has yet to apologize?"
"This...this devil!"
"Yuder. Why bother being kind? Judging by your cheeky backtalk, you certainly don't act like a loser. Why don't you grovel a bit more? Or should we do it for you?"
One of the Cavalry members watching from a distance shouted loudly, causing the knight to flinch. Yuder tilted his head and looked down at him.

Chapter 256 The Xiao Mansion is Not My Home
Lin Wanrong looked toward the direction of the voice. The speaker had already sprinted toward him, and it turned out to be the Xiao family's servant, Si De: "Brother San, Brother San, you've finally returned—"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Si De, what are you doing out here this late instead of sleeping at home? Are you sightseeing?"
Si De quickly replied, "Brother San, it wasn't my choice to come here, it was th...

Lin Wanrong anxiously poked his head out of the carriage, still some ten li from Jinling. In the vast twilight, the city walls of Jinling loomed impressively high. The lanterns of the night patrol slowly roamed, bathing the city in an atmosphere of tranquility and peace. Although he had only been gone for half a month, it felt like he had been away for a much longer time. "Qiaoqiao, Eldest Miss, how have you been?"
Qin Xian'er was also r...

Chapter 254 The Return Journey
‘Is Master Sister going with us? Is this some kind of joke? Isn't that like carrying a time bomb?’ Lin Wanrong had always maintained a respectful distance from this sister. Her presence made him feel entirely insecure.
Xian'er grasped his arm, pleading, "Husband, can Master come with us to Jinling, please?"
Feigning a smile, Lin Wanrong replied, "Master Sister accompanying us to Jinling? Oh, that would be great. I am all ha...

Yuder leisurely watched those charging at him, not moving until they came close. A flurry of swords ruthlessly descended on him all at once.
"Yuder!"
Despite knowing his strength, his companions screamed in surprise from behind, but the horrendous scene they imagined did not materialize. The steel swords, failing to penetrate Yuder's body, paused in mid-air as if struck against the void. At his casual gesture, they exploded outwards.
"Ugh, ...

He seemed desperate to declare, "You're such a pest," but the oath prevented him from doing so. The fact that he didn't want to acknowledge their acquaintance was evident in his awkward phrasing. Yuder clenched his jaw inwardly at the strange dialogue.
'So be it... Well, Kiolle complied with my request during the second gender manifestation, so I can fulfill this small wish of his too.'
Even if Kiolle, the person he was dealing with, had hardly m...

Startled by Yuder's unexpected proposal, Steiber, who had thought that Yuder came to help calm the members, could not hide his surprise as he stuttered from a distance.
'What is he trying to do?'
Yuder looked back at the members after flashing a reassuring smile in Steiber's direction.

At dawn the following day, Lin Wanrong opened his eyes slowly, only to find himself lying in bed. A warm shaft of sunlight was entering through the window, its warmth spreading across his body, leaving him feeling thoroughly comfortable. After a night's rest, he felt much of his strength returning. Sitting up, he cast a look around the room and saw a beautiful figure leaning by the bedside, her captivating eyes were watchin...

Leading the charge were Gao Qiu, Hu Bugui, and the others. The armies had entered the city and everyone thought the battle was over. No one could have imagined that a surprise attack on General Lin would be launched from the rear. Seeing the figure of General Lin disapp...

"Master—" Qin Xian'er let out a joyous exclamation: "You're not dead?"
‘Damn it, she is alive, but I am on the brink of death,’ thought Lin Wanrong, a flicker of anxiety racing through his mind. He blinked and responded with a grin: "Xian'er, don't blurt out such nonsense. This lady here is so young and beautiful; she can't possibly be your master. She appears more like your elder sister."

'...Why?'
Why had it been left behind? Puzzled, he picked up the clothing, and the long, trailing hem was suddenly tugged tight. Only then did Yuder realize that a portion of the garment had been trapped beneath him, causing a moment of embarrassment.
'Surely, it wasn't removed because of this... Does this mean I should return it today, after I leave first?'
No matter how much he thought about it, the latter seemed more plausible. After com...

'Have the spots faded?'
He thought it might be an illusion, but it wasn't. His hand, which had been so deeply dyed it almost appeared black, had noticeably lightened to a faint purple hue.
Yuder flipped his hand back and forth, examining it, then once again pulled down the collar of his shirt to peer inside.

The spots that had spread from his shoulder to his chest hadn't significantly reduced in size. However...

The power of an Awakener, as radiant as the light that wrapped around Yuder's hand, gently rippled as if welcoming him.
'Maybe this side is a bit easier to handle.'
However, contrary to his thoughts, the power of an Awakener was not that easy to control. It didn’t react or inflict pain when he tried to manipulate it like he did with other powers. Yet, the power merely twined around Yuder's hand as if trying to cling to it, only to return to its...

He had aimed his cannons too accurately, satisfying as it was, it was immensely regrettable for Xian'er. He blamed the female master, her training seemed so fragile, having been taken down by just a couple of shots.

Having finally withdrawn from the task more arduous than cupping a cheek - attending to the stiff legs, Yuder slumped into the chair where Kishiar had been seated, massaging his weary shoulders. From his position, he had a clear view of the face of the man lying on the bed.
The sleeping Kishiar looked surprisingly peaceful, much more than Yuder had expected. His breath was so faint, it was barely audible. Looking down at Kish...

Yuder momentarily forgot everything at the sight of that smiling face. The fact that this was his untidy quarters, and the realization that the coming dawn would bring a day busier than most, all disappeared from his mind.
He stood dazed, merely staring ahead when Kishiar reached out slowly, their gazes locked. He guessed he wanted to touch his cheek, but he halted at a certain distance, trembling slightly, unable to move any closer.

The whisper was as cold and barren as the darkness trying to swallow the dim light of the lantern. Yuder read unfamiliar emotions within that voice, feelings he hadn't expected Kishiar to reveal. The inside of his throat felt numbing and he felt queasy, like riding a rough wave.
What could this possibly be?
This was different from the intense impulse of the moment their lips met, and from the burning attraction that had spread like wildfire.

He had turned the envelope over and over several times, but it was blank with no hint of who had written it. Hastily opening the letter, he was greeted by a faint, ethereal scent. His keen senses, akin to a dog's, caught a whiff of a rose-like perfume after a few sniffs.
There were only a few lines on the pristine paper, with neither salutation nor valediction. His eyes scanned over the beautifully written characters: "S...

Leading them was an elderly man, his beard streaked with white - none other than Xu Wei, the supreme commander leading the campaign against...

To be honest, he didn't want to answer. But he had to.
Kishiar seemed prepared to stay up all night, sitting right there until Yuder spoke. It was only when the sensation of being stabbed by a sharply whetted knife reached its peak due to Yuder's silence, that he finally moved his parched lips to speak.
