Chapter 18: The Last Clue

Reading Time: 9 minutes A long time passed before either of them spoke. Tang Zhou was the one who ended up breaking the silence, “Let’s check out the house again. Maybe Master Shen’s body might be there.” YanDan replied tiredly, “Tang Zhou, ever since I met you, I’ve had terrible luck.”  Right after she said that, there was a sound of footsteps behind them and someone called out, “Everyone be careful, the person who lit the fire might still…

Chapter 17: Seven Luminate Divine Jade

Reading Time: 9 minutes YanDan looked at the restraining bracelet on her wrist and looked at Tang Zhou, who was standing in front of her calmly. She didn’t want to say “you weren’t even affected by the drug, so why did you pretend to be poisoned in front of Shen Yijun. Was it because you knew that I would show up?” so she said instead, “You’re unaffected by all poisons?” Tang Zhou replied simply, “My blood is able to…

Chapter 15: Real or Fake

Reading Time: 9 minutes Tang Zhou leaned against the side of the wall of the well and with the few rays of moonlight that shone through the well, he realized that the person turned out to be Ling Xuzi. It was as if all the skin on his body was shriveled, his blood drained. But it turned out to only be because he had been soaking in the water for a while, so his skin turned wrinkled and white. …

Chapter 14: A Dead End

Reading Time: 10 minutes In the afternoon, Master Shen came to the courtyard, asking cautiously, “Childe Tang, were there any findings?” Tang Zhou looked at him and pondered, “There is progress, but…” Master Shen immediately asked seriously, “But what?” Tang Zhou felt like he already found a small clue, but was being pulled away. He couldn’t always observe in the dark, and no matter how detailed a guess is, it’s still a guess. “I felt like there was the…

Chapter 13: The Two Shen Sisters

Reading Time: 9 minutes You guys will be gifted 2 chapters this week because I’m feeling generous! (and because its my birthday week but anyways…) The next chapter will be updated on Sunday! Master Shen coughed and the paleness of his face faded away quickly, “This is my eldest daughter, Yijun. This childe is Tang Zhou and that lady is YanDan.” Shen Yijun walked to the table and glared at Tang Zhou, “So it was you? What were you…

Chapter 12: Doubtful

Reading Time: 9 minutes That night, Tang Zhou slept restlessly. When the sky outside started getting brighter, he was suddenly woken up by the sound of a flute. The sound was sorrowful and the flute player sounded like they had endless misery to tell. Tang Zhou put on his robes and silently crept outside. No one had visited the courtyard last night, yet there’s a big pit in the ground. He held his sword scabbard and crept closer. There…

Chapter 11: The Wealthy Shen Shopkeeper

Reading Time: 8 minutes A young girl in snow-white clothes stood outside, tilting her head slightly and wearing a playful expression. A brightly colored parrot stood on her shoulder, pecking lovingly at her earrings. YanDan couldn’t help asking, “How did you get here?” The girl raised her hand to pet the parrot, “It told me, this bird is the smartest in the entire world, and it knows everything.” Tang Zhou’s kept on thinking and thinking, but couldn’t tell if…

Chapter 10: In Danger… Again

Reading Time: 7 minutes YanDan knelt on the ground, trying to hide and use her demonic magic to heal her small wounds. Tang Zhou didn’t pity her at all, but instead thought that she grabbed the skull just to scare the poor girl, and repeated his threat of putting her into the artifact again. It’s so unfair how the universe treats YanDan like this. Tang Zhou stood next to her, saying in a flat tone, “Are you done resting?”…
