“No. I believe you. The world’s crazy and so is the abyss. In comparison, your claim about having done magic for your whole life doesn’t seem that out of the realm of possibility” Aurora could feel the disbelief and hope in the girl’s voice. “Really-?” the girl didn’t get to finish before the pair heard urgent footsteps coming their way. Rita looked startled and a little guilty at the noise but Aurora knew what was happening. The guards had come to escort Rita back to her ‘room’ and…

“Eh, Miss. Aren’t you going to fill the form and wait for the matching?” the female who had handed Aurora the form asked with a confused face as she watched Aurora leave the venue. “Not interested. I don’t need blind people on my side.” Aurora’s words were met with a wave of protest. People did not like to be jabbed in their weak sports. And these tower lackeys were too stupid to see that they were being used. These people had no idea what they were doing here anyway, nor did they know…

“I don’t need you to protect me. I can wipe the floor with you any day.” Aurora’s voice echoed in the empty room. She could feel the people’s disbelief as they looked at her. No one believed her words, not even her dear Clove. And it hurt badly. But most of all, her words seemed to have pissed Quince off. Those narrowed eyes spoke of trouble and a promise of hardships that had yet to come. But Aurora was not afraid of those eyes. She had faced the worst. “MUHAHAHAHAHAHA And suddenly, the…

“Oi. Stop daydreaming and follow me. We’re already late” Aurora hurried to catch up with the guards, her mood instantly lifting at the thought of seeing her wife again. Whatever blood Aurora had with the Quince, she’ll settle it later and likely in private. She did not want to show the world what she could do. Her feet did not feel like they touched the ground when she walked. Aurora could feel the glances she was getting through the corridor. Being a goddess meant that she had a divine body. It…

She stepped forward and saw the two guards flinch at her approach. One of them even held the weapon ready should she decide to attack. But Aurora did not want them dead. If she killed them, her chances of meeting Clove would reduce to zero. These guards were the reason Aurora had met Clove the first time around. She needed them alive and to follow the plot. “I don’t think she killed them. Look, she’s in shock as well. What kind of sane human would walk out naked and covered in blood. Here, you…

Golden eyes opened, feeling the wetness of the water around them. It seeped into their fragile retina. It instantly caused the eternal being to close their eyes and reject the painful feeling. But she could not forget. Nor could she forgive. The voice faded from the blue-haired Goddess’s mind as she tried to hold on to that comfortable voice. The only way to soothe her anger was to keep on listening to that unknown voice. But whatever she did, she could not bring the voice back. It was gone from her…

190 Emergency Court Session - Final Verdict. "Her Majesty not only attempted to murder His Majesty but also betrayed the nation and disgraced everyone with her sinful actions," Yang Luoyang said. "Please give her a severe punishment. She is a traitor to the nation." Since he cannot protect Yang Lingxin from this mess, it is better to sacrifice her sooner before she reveals his name and wrongdoings. Yang Ning sneered in disdain as she looked at Yang Luoyang's shameless behavior. It was clear to her…

189 Emergency Court Session XII The courtroom erupted in commotion as no one had anticipated that Zheng Liang would produce the vendor of the toxic herbs as evidence. "If he discloses the identity of the person who unlawfully purchased the poisonous herbs from him, all doubt will be dispelled," remarked one of the ministers, eagerly awaiting the truth to be unveiled. Meanwhile, Yang Luoyang scowled at the unfolding events, deeply troubled by what was happening. His expressions became gloomy when…

Yang Lingxin let out a piercing scream as she fought against the female guards who had restrained her. "What are you doing? Let me go!" Her wrists ached from their tight grip, and her palms stung from slapping Bai Jiang across the face, but her fury was far from sated. She longed to inflict more harm on him, to teach him a lesson he'd never forget. But before she could act on her impulses, Zheng Liang ordered the guards to take her away and hold her in place. Yang Lingxin thrashed about, lashing out at the…
