Jiang Yan swept her gaze over everyone’s faces. After a moment, she turned back and took both children by the hand. “It really is time for bed.” “Come with me.” Xiao Jia obediently took Jiang Yan’s hand. Xiao Tian, embarrassed to take Jiang Yan’s, grabbed Xiao Jia’s instead, and the three left the garden quickly.… Continue reading Tricked 060: Blood Type
Cub 151: At This Moment, In This Place—There is Home, and There is You.
That night, the little black dragon was cornered by the little white fluff ball and finally changed back, face burning red, his jacket pulled open, and the pink gemstone belt chain revealed. The gemstone was clear and bright, a very soft pink, set on a slender silver chain, occasionally making a faint clinking sound—its curves… Continue reading Cub 151: At This Moment, In This Place—There is Home, and There is You.
Tricked 059: Seeking Help
Le Yi had bargaining power with the doctors. Whether it was her blood or her clairvoyant ability. As long as she kept silent, she could allow the doctor to secretly draw her blood more times, with no one the wiser, and he would earn several times more than his own salary. The results of hypnotizing… Continue reading Tricked 059: Seeking Help
Cub 150: Kid, What Did You Understand?
Is it really okay…? Amos thought with a blank expression. Actually, it didn’t feel all that okay. This was his just-raised youngster. Yes, still just a youngster. To immortals, who had such long lifespans, a decade or so of age was still so young, like a moment that could pass in a daze. Completely a… Continue reading Cub 150: Kid, What Did You Understand?
Tricked 058: Hypnosis
“To take Pingping drifting down the river—then you’ll become a message in a bottle!” Jiang Yan gazed at the out-of-place quip and thought it was exactly the kind of joke Le Yi would make. She set the drawing aside and emptied Pingping’s file. Aside from the picture, there were only two sheets of paper. They… Continue reading Tricked 058: Hypnosis
Cub 149: Not So Concerned…Really?
After the thing behind the pollution was destroyed, the pollution as a whole collapsed, beginning to recede from its spread across the interstellar regions back to the few places where it first appeared, neither too quickly nor too slowly. The front line as a whole advanced, and the already revived Crown Clan's habitat planet was… Continue reading Cub 149: Not So Concerned…Really?
Tricked 057: Pingping
Jiang Yan stared at the photograph for a long time. Her expression was hard to read as she recalled what Le Yi had just said to her in the hospital room. —“It’s not that we can’t be controlled, but that thing doesn’t want to control us.” “You need to be conscious enough to experience true… Continue reading Tricked 057: Pingping
Cub 148: Let’s Go, I’ll Take You… Home
Even now, even having recovered his past memories, Chao Huangmu had not changed much—outwardly passionate, but for matters not involving Chu Zao, he showed little interest. Thus, he awoke quickly from that momentary temptation and illusion; he and the black psionic dragon behind him both straining to smash through the ‘god’s’ outer shell, trying once… Continue reading Cub 148: Let’s Go, I’ll Take You… Home
Tricked 056: Circus
Because she'd stayed up all night, as soon as Le Yi finished her sentence, she hugged her pillow and fell into a deep sleep. Jiang Yan, beside her, clenched her teeth with a smile. [I bet Jiang Yan’s considering whether a forced confession might work.] [I think so too. She has the information but won’t… Continue reading Tricked 056: Circus
Cub 147: Who Breaks Down First?
Clansis had never heard of such a thing. The voice guiding Amos fell silent for a moment. It seemed to inspect Amos’s psionic longsword again with suspicion. ‘Are you telling me that was chewed by your little Crown Clan brat?’ Such an absurd note was rarely heard from the ever-unflappable Emperor Clansis. Through all these… Continue reading Cub 147: Who Breaks Down First?
