    • by Cristae Gu Ying gave a deep bow and handed over her resume. Si Zhiyan took it, looked it over carefully, and noticed that Gu Ying had won numerous awards in both undergraduate and graduate school—none of which he recognized. He felt somewhat embarrassed, so he cleared his throat, put the resume away, and said, “No issues. Let’s begin the interview.” “Ah…” Gu Ying looked a bit nervous, immediately straightening up and wiping her eyes vigorously, nodding firm and hard. “I just want to chat…
    • by Cristae In the darkness, the little cat purred contentedly, licking away, mouthful by mouthful. Ssshhh. Ssshhh. In the darkness, Gu Ying’s faint voice sounded: “In her room, there were piles and piles of boxes.” “She never knew what was inside them…” “The next day, she rushed downstairs, gently placed the small-bodied Milk Tea into her bike basket, rode her electric bike as fast as it could go, sped to the pet hospital. While riding, frantically making calls to ask, she finally found…
    • by Cristae Over there, Gu Ying was working hard, stacking boxes, shutting the door, and hanging a woven storage bag behind it. At last, she reclaimed a small space beneath the table and let out a long sigh of relief. She stumbled over, “Thank you, Mr. Si… let me handle the rest—ah.” Her gaze followed Si Zhiyan’s line of sight and paused for a moment. Si Zhiyan acted as if nothing had happened, looking away and focusing on the woven bag behind the door, smiling at Gu Ying. “It’s very nice.…
    • by Cristae Si Zhiyan and Bian Xu stepped into the corridor and saw the boss of the donkey meat sandwich shop next door standing squarely in the middle, brimming with righteous anger: “You have to turn sideways just to squeeze through here—are you blind? Can’t you see? Those boxes are stacked too high. And what if they fall and hit someone? Who’s responsible then?” The boss was big and tall, and standing there he blocked almost the entire hallway. The bustling traffic in the corridor halted to watch,…
    • by Cristae "Mixed-use residential and commercial?" The female agent was clearly experienced—she didn’t even look back, just gestured out the window, speaking flatly: "This is a residential building, business activities aren’t permitted, can't get a license." Si Zhiyan followed the direction of her finger and was dazzled by a sea of glaring signs. Every street-facing window was crammed—some with massive red lettering pasted on the glass, others with illuminated signs, and some even had cardboard…
    • by Cristae The sky began to flicker and, within minutes, the south gate teleportation coordinates of the farm arrived at . The silent street appeared before everyone once again. This time, the coordinates were chosen manually, positioned slightly farther out on a deserted road, so that no one would open their eyes to a scene of stark black-and-white horror. Dusk was near. Worried about Bian Xu’s state, Si Zhiyan announced the details of the teleportation, setting the portal to officially open at eight…
    • by Cristae What was he saying? Si Zhiyan struggled to focus, but he couldn’t make out a word. All he could see was a wash of crimson. Bian Xu’s voice grew fainter and fainter, until it disappeared entirely from his ears. "…I…" Hazy words drifted past his ear. Their connection still wasn’t enough. That vague, indistinct barrier continued to block Si Zhiyan’s consciousness. ……………… The vision ended. Si Zhiyan opened his eyes; the sky was on the cusp of dawn. After a full…
    • by Cristae The scene was silent for a few seconds. Then, an unprecedented and intense, boiling clamor erupted. Everyone was beside themselves with emotion. This time, not even Ye Xianqing could keep the crowd under control. The young doctor took off his gown and stood in a corner of the tent, watching the wounded grow wild with excitement, then glanced at the silhouette of Si Zhiyan, the farm owner. Just two days earlier, Si Zhiyan had stood at the very front lines, holding the farm’s flag aloft, its…
    • by Cristae Pa-da, pa-da! The sleek black hole crystal in Alice’s hand leapt down and merged with its companions, bouncing about in all directions. If you looked closely, you could tell them apart. The forged black hole crystals were smooth and lustrous, translucent all over, like hardened water gleaming with light. The unrefined black holes, by contrast, were still a bit rough around the edges, like raw crystal. The little black holes huddled together in a crowd, forming a pile with the polished,…
    • by Cristae When they returned to see Alice, Yu Yao was already waiting at the door, smiling as he greeted, “Please, come in. Miss Alice has been awaiting your arrival.” Miss Alice’s bedroom was spacious, with an inner and an outer room, the latter clearly used for receiving guests. The floor was covered in plush pink carpeting, adorned with elegant stone angel sculptures, and sparkling gems hung everywhere. Si Zhiyan nearly stumbled at the sheer extravagance of the décor as he entered.He rummaged for a…

    • by Cristae “Uh…!” To be honest, this wasn’t exactly a hard time to endure. Perhaps it was because they both came from the farm, or maybe it was because Bian Xu had infused more of the vine’s sap… The process of feeding wasn’t painful at all, only a faint tingling, so slight that it felt more like an intimate act than being preyed upon. Sharp teeth pierced the soft skin. Si Zhiyan arched his neck upward, his slender throat gripped in Bian Xu’s jaw, trembling ever so slightly. Warm liquid…
    • by Cristae What followed was… a whirlwind of voracious feasting. “Aaah… it’s so delicious…” The girl cupped her cheeks, her voice floating into the clouds. “This egg tart is just divine… mmm!” Crunch. The egg tart had been freshly baked; the texture was second to none—the skill of the pastry chef beyond reproach. With every crisp, buttery bite, the flaky crust shattered between her lips and teeth, enfolding the steaming custard filling that sent sweetness straight to the core. It was so hot…
    • by Cristae The castle’s enormous front gates cracked open, and a Lolita-clad girl in frilly pink stormed out, slamming the doors behind her with a force that made the ground shake. Bang!! Well… considering the gates were over ten meters tall, such a slam really did make the earth tremble… The girl had a doll-like face, with large and beautiful eyes, and barely topped Bian Xu’s shoulder. She wore an elaborately tiered tea-party Lolita dress, lace and gauze heaped layer on layer, jeweled to the…
    • by Cristae The shards of glass flying through the air seemed to cause time itself to slow to a crawl. A faint shiver ran down the back of Bian Xu’s neck. No matter how hard he tried—no matter how determined he was to act like a normal person—an irreversible transformation had nonetheless left its mark upon him. Si Zhiyan had heard stories of how Bian Xu fought, back in the day. His power was like that of the blazing sun, a great hero from legend: clad in crisp tactical gear, bold and striking, always…
    • by Cristae This was a long, dark-sweet dream. Si Zhiyan drifted muddled in endless void, his thoughts floating aimlessly as countless fractured images flickered dimly before his eyes. In the dream there was a pale laboratory, rain-swept nights… a stream of nameless faces passing by. Si Zhiyan saw the pale-coated women doctors, saw Nidhogg, but the one who appeared most often—again and again—was Bian Xu. Bian Xu in hospital garb, Bian Xu drenched in blood, Bian Xu fighting… What was this? Memories he…
    • by Cristae He could not die. But he had to die. How could such a question exist in this world? Si Zhiyan’s mind throbbed with a dull ache. Think of something! There must be another way, isn’t there?! Boom! The thunder kept crashing down. A bolt struck near them. The black shadow clutching Si Zhiyan reached out, conjured a pitch-black broomstick, and they suddenly lifted into the air, skimming low over the ground. The wind howled. Si Zhiyan was held tightly by the distorted black shadow in its…
    • by Cristae Boom!! The Supreme God answered with thunder. Si Zhiyan’s face was ashen as paper. He lowered his head and coughed twice, his vision already blurring, yet he still managed a laugh: “Pardon me… I forgot, you can’t see anymore.” The Supreme God’s attack was about to begin; even the oppressive atmosphere alone was already inflicting damage on his body. Boom!! A myriad of orbs of light unleashed their lightning upon the earth. The ground shook, the air twisted, bolts of lightning…
    • by Cristae Now, on the farm, the bloody mist of spider lilies had faded away, leaving only a diffuse, lingering haze. The phantom double could barely hold on any longer. Si Zhiyan dispersed it, then walked out of the basement onto the meadow, picking up the tiramisu jar. He looked up. The night sky was clear, the vault overhead boundless, vast and open, cool and refreshing. For seven years, the Eye of the Supreme God had gazed down upon humanity. At last, it had vanished completely. The cold sweat on his…
    • by Cristae Si Zhiyan smiled and nodded. 【Eye】 stared intently at the overlapping figures of Kazuko and Si Zhiyan, letting out a shrill cry, while the air around them trembled once more. She was weeping.She was full of regret, jealousy, on the verge of collapse, yet she would do everything in her power to let her sister live. The deadly blood mist still filled the air, but suddenly, a bloody rain began to fall. A torrential downpour crashed from the sky, each raindrop a dense, razor-sharp needle, carrying…
