“Can you hear the commotion? Murong Wuque is outside and there are footsteps on the roof. It seems as if the valley master wants to execute the guards on duty tonight because you broke in under their watch.”

Alvin, who was cracking a formation, froze.

“What? He wants to execute them because of something they can't control? No. I need to surrender. I can't let people die because of me.”

“Then you will die alongside Oliver.”

“I still can't…”

“Alvin, are you stupid? You're dressed in Qin Li's clothes and Murong Wuque is outside blocking them, forcefully trying to take the guards away. If you get found, it will only prove the accusation that Murong Wuque and his subordinates organized the robbery. Qin Li will lose his life for helping you. Not just that Murong Wuque, Su Ying, Su Mei and the rest whom you bonded with during the mission will all be executed. By then, you would have taken away every hope of revival from the valley's disciples. If this group that is trying to bring lig

  • EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT

    The disciples nodded and immediately ran out. But deep in their hearts, they knew it was futile. The one they were asked to chase was the disciple with the moniker shadow demon, one of the top three assasins raised by the previous sect master. He could blend in with the environment, and had the ability to make his footsteps disappear. He could track down anything or anyone with the tiniest of clues, while remaining invisible himself. Medicine sage valley had Qin Li, Tian Luo had him, Zhuge SuoWei. He had no family nor root, not a lover nor friend. He was a certified loner with no friends or known weaknesses. That was the reason he feared nothing and had no qualms challenging the toughest of devils. Finding him would be impossible, but they knew that Shi Tong wouldn't want to hear that in his current state of mind. So they ran off on the merry goose chase. But in any way, they were just grateful to leave his oppressive presence. Anything was better than remaining inside the sect n

  • Evil that men do

    TIAN LUO SECT [celestial realm] Shi Tong screamed loudly, smashing everything his hands could reach. He was very furious. The wound the demon prince gave him stung badly, reminding him that his life was seeping away each second the clock ticks. One of the younger disciples ran in. “The search party returned.” He turned to the disciple, his eyes red like that of a feral animal. “Did your find that bitch?” “I’m sorry, my Lord.” The disciple stuttered, shivering in fear. “The search party was unsuccessful. There's no trace of the young miss all around this county. More people are also searching the entire continent and even along the smaller villages and shorelines. However, those that has replied to us so far all said that they haven't found a trace.” Shi Tong roared in anger and hurled his dagger at the disciple. He screamed in shock and dived to the side. His eyes were wide with fear as he looked at Shi Tong, his heart beating erratically, his entire body shivering in horro

  • YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE

    Alvin shut his eyes, his heart constricting painfully. ‘This is the reason inexperienced women are the most troublesome to handle. They're so pure and easily influenced by fleeting emotions. Just a few intimate encounters, she developed solid feelings and is dreaming of a happily ever after without asking me if my feelings were also love or likeness. Damn it. I should have just died. What have I done? Does this mean I have to marry her now?’ The system chuckled, intruding into Alvin’s thoughts. “What do you expect? Women, especially the ones from sheltered, righteous backgrounds have been raised to only love and serve one man. Since you were her first lover, it makes sense that she would begin to lean towards you.” “We didn't even go all the way. Ah! What am I going to do?” “It doesn't matter. That day, she was willing to offer herself because she cared enough about you to abandon propriety and her ever important honor. Her pride didn't even matter to her and she humbly offere

  • TROUBLESOME FEELINGS

    Alvin met Shi Yue in the garden where she was standing, crying her eyes out. “A'Yue.” She quickly wiped her tears, and took deep breaths to steady her voice. “Why are you crying? Your actions of running away instead of defending yourself made us look really suspicious and guilty.” She turned to him angrily. “Is that the reason you denied me in there? So you don't look guilty?” Alvin was rendered speechless, not expecting the direction the discussion was spiralling into. ‘Why are women so complicated? Did she expect me to admit I had carnal knowledge of her right before her brother, who also have feelings for her?’ He licked his lips and looked at the ceiling, exhaling heavily as she continued her rambling. “You denied me, as if you're ashamed of me, or terrified of people discovering.” Alvin sighed, totally frustrated. “What do you expect me to do, then?” Shi Yue's lips trembled and she clenched her fists tightly. “Should we go inside and come clean? What the he

  • SO IT WAS YOU

    Alvin turned to look at Murong Wuque. “Why will you want to do that? Even if others are forced to share, you're the one person who will never be inconvenienced. She will probably give you the best room with the most beautiful view. You're the immortal prince of heaven after all.” Murong Wuque crossed his hand behind his head and leaned back into the sofa. “The others can have the rooms, I will stay in your quarters.” “Why the hell will you want to do that?” Alvin roared. “Aish! Really he's driving me crazy.” Qin Li looked up at them. “That's right, first brother, why will you want to do that? You hate people touching you the most. You detest body contact. How can you stomach sleeping in the same bed with someone else.” Alvin nodded vigorously, silently beseeching Murong Wuque to have a rethink. He scoffed and looked at Alvin's terrified, half hopeful face. “What else? To gross him out. I already told him I will make his life miserable for bringing me here against my wil

  • PUTTING THE AUDACIOUS HELP IN HER PLACE

    A few minutes later, everyone was done with the midnight snacks, and Oliver had drank his soup and eaten as much meat as Murong Wuque would allow. Some of the soups were also given to the Shi siblings to alleviate the effects of the poison from Shi Tong. “I'm going up to my room to sleep, I'm lacking a good night rest.” Alvin yawned and stood up. Elena turned to him hesitantly. “Boss, there's a little problem with the rooming.” “You should speak in a language we can understand too.” Shi Yue muttered, feeling resentful. “Why will you want to know everything? This place is not your house or a refugee camp—” Amanda found a backhand slap on her mouth even before she finished speaking. She gasped in shock and looked up at Alvin who was glaring at her. “Say that one more time and you will find yourself sacked.” “Boss!” Alvin scoffed and looked at her from head to toe, not hiding his judgemental gaze. “If this is not her house, is it yours?” His words was in Mandarin, ma
