Chapter 55: Exploration III

by karlmaks — Watching his master's figure ahead, Lin Hui narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then followed. As he stepped into the white light, his eyes were briefly dazzled, but they quickly adapted. What entered his vision was an endless plain dominated by brown and white. He seemed to be standing on a shovel-shaped gray cliff. Looking forward from here, the colors of the plain below the cliff were formed by vast swathes of brown and white pavilions and buildings, densely packed together. The…

Chapter 2: The Decision

by karlmaks — “Recently there have been two incidents here in Xinyu, and even more in Raoshan, with five incidents, all suffering during the day,” Lin Hongzhen whispered, her expression solemn. “Is Elder Uncle and Elder Aunt preparing to move into the Inner City?” Lin Hui suddenly asked. He remembered that Lin Hongzhen's parents were business people in the town, and their family was better off than his. Furthermore, Lin Hongzhen herself was an apprentice at the Sha Yue Great Pharmacy, earning a good wage,…

Chapter 34: Change of Heart II

by karlmaks — Lin Hui nodded, glancing at his grandfather, Lin Chaoyi, and the two men behind him. Lin Chaoyi was putting on his act, while the other two—Lin Shunjiang (Lin Hongzhen’s father) and Lin Shunchong (from the second branch)—watched. One looked helpless, the other somber, both standing with arms crossed as they observed Lin Chaoyi’s performance. At this moment, Lin Chaoyi was shaking with rage at Lin Shunhe’s words, pointing a finger at him but unable to utter a single syllable. "Ah!"…

Chapter 13: Parting I

by karlmaks — The incidents at home and the conflict with Chen Chong fueled Lin Hui's craving for personal strength more than ever. Mingde's protection was only temporary. Although the trouble now involved Chen Zhishen, Lin Hui might encounter a similar situation in the future. If he didn't prepare soon... After the Chen Chong incident, Lin Hui became even more low-key, practicing the sword silently every day. His physical fitness slowly improved. Finally, the fifth stance completed its evolution. Each stance…

Chapter 45: Thoughts I

by karlmaks — Sorting the materials and packing them into a discreet cloth bag, Lin Hui dragged the bag along and took a day off early the next morning to head into town. Xinyu Town wasn't large; only a few intersecting streets formed the town center. The streets appeared lively with people coming and going, but most were surrounding farmers and vendors. Occasionally, a traveling caravan would pass through, attracting a crowd of children to chase and watch. That was likely the freshest thing around here. The…

Chapter 24: Disappearance II

by karlmaks — The sword tip was very steady, not harming the black ant in the slightest. But at the same moment, a trace of transparent airflow, identical to the one before, shot out from Lin Hui's finger. It traveled along the sword blade, instantly darted out, and finally surged precisely into the black ant's back from the sword tip. Click. The black ant was motionless again. After one second, it was terrified and quickly crawled away into the distance. ‘Huh? That works too??’ Lin Hui was surprised. He…

Chapter 56: Exploration IV

by karlmaks — "Go back for what? I can't find a solution to the troubles within my tribe, so going back is pointless." The black-furred Lionman released him and sighed. He was over two meters tall. Standing next to the one-meter-eight Mingde, the size difference was too great, giving the impression of an adult and a child. "I thought you went back long ago. I bumped into Donghao and the others at the Qingle Workshop last time, and they said they hadn't seen you for a while." Mingde and this black-furred Lionman…

Chapter 3: Moving House I

by karlmaks — Lin Hui sat upright on the dark bed inside the room. He held a bowl of corn and yam paste that his mother had left for him in the morning, spooning it into his mouth and swallowing it, spoonful by spoonful. Outside the window, children's playful noises continually drifted in from the alley, seeming to be playing with stones. Further away, a faint, weeping, and desolate sound of someone playing an instrument similar to an erhu could be heard on the wind. BANG. Suddenly, the wooden door of the…

Chapter 35: Change of Heart III

by karlmaks — The cluster of dark wooden huts resembled black stones scattered randomly on a beach. Faint groans could be heard coming from some of the huts, sounding like the dying struggles of those who had been tormented by illness for a long time. Lin Hui and Deng Mingchao cautiously walked into the gap between two black huts, one with his sword lowered, the other with his sword held horizontally. Black mud mixed with all sorts of filth piled up in the corners on the ground. A faint stench permeated the…

Chapter 14: Parting II

by karlmaks — “No need to talk like that. Even if we can't be in-laws, the two young people can still be good friends and keep in touch.” Lin Shunhe forced a strained smile. Lin Hui, walking closer, immediately understood what had just transpired. He realized the girl in the white skirt hadn't favored him, which was normal. His physique had recently firmed up, but his facial features were still the same—unremarkable. It was better before when his family background enhanced his status, but now the family…
