When I regained consciousness, it was because I was starving.

My stomach growled a whole symphony. I struggled to sit up. The entire room spun. I touched my chest; it didn’t hurt. My injuries should be healed. This dizziness is completely caused by hunger.

Sitting up, my feet brushed against a sapling. Jiang Xiaorong had been placed beside the bed. He didn’t react at all. I bet he’s sleeping? Is there such a thing as plants needing sleep? I really don’t know. However, Xiaorong can walk, shiver, and eat aberrants. Sleeping wouldn’t be abnormal at all.

Slowly, I got out of bed, wanting to call Shujun over to make something for her almost-starved-to-death èrgē. Just when I gripped the doorknob, I heard voices outside and stopped immediately.

“How’s your èrgē doing? Has, has he been…”

This was Dàgē’s voice, hurried and miserable. He didn’t even finish. Have I been what?

“I checked while I helped wipe Èrgē down.” Shujun said quietly, “There was no visible trace. But if it’s been too long, it can also be undetectable.”

Wait a minute, when you helped wipe me down, you did what to me? Why do I have a very bad feeling about this?!

“Is that so?” Dàgē said in a calm voice. It was only a few short words, but they carried deep grief and remorse. This manner of speaking was too much like the Ice Emperor. My chest suddenly felt tight. Not wanting to continue listening to them speaking in such a way anymore, I pulled open the door. The two of them even jumped in surprise. This kind of remorseful and unsettling appearance made me both angry and amused.

GOD V2C3: Alan the Elf, Part One

GOD —The Beginning of the End— Volume 2: Elf, Nanny, Thunderous Anger

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)

Chapter 3: Alan the Elf, Part One—translated by lucathia (proofread by Trespasserby)

The door slowly opened. A head of gold instantly brightened the entire private room, drawing everyone’s gaze. Then, their eyes focused on a face that was gentle and delicate to the point of appearing androgynous. Even with such an indifferent expression, the elf’s absolute magnificence could not be obscured.

Bai Saya was amazed. Alan was even more beautiful than that time in the prison. It was probably because the prison had been dark, and Alan had worn simple clothing then, so his brilliance had not been brought out.

Dan followed right behind the elf, and behind him was an entire row of bodyguards, but Water Lily’s beautiful and graceful figure could not be seen. After Dan commanded his subordinates to stay outside, he walked inside the room and closed the door on his way in.

Bai Saya was carefully observing Alan. The latter’s hands and feet were shackled, his demeanor as cold as always, his face completely expressionless, as if he were the only one inside the room and there was no one next to him.

“A-Alan,” he hesitantly called out.

He had finally gotten the elf’s attention. Long, slender blue eyes stared at Bai Saya. He slowly opened his mouth and said, “You…”

Bai Saya lowered his head awkwardly, not daring to meet the elf’s gaze.

“Who are you?”

Illusions, Lies, Truth Volume 3: In the Name of God, Part One

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)

Prologue—translated by lucathia (proofread by Trespasserby & EvlNabiki)

It went like this. On the way to school, just as I was walking in through the campus gate, I saw an angel drifting behind a certain classmate, following him the entire way without leaving. I thought he was up to no good, but in the next moment, the classmate’s face bumped into a ghost that was floating about, and that ghost got so angry that it rushed over and punched him several times. The classmate didn’t feel it, but the angel behind him actually rushed out and sent that ghost flying with one smack!

Yu Shu yawned widely and lazily said, “I thought that you’d seen angels way back?”

Jiang Ziya was chewing bread. As expected, homemade bread was on a whole different level. It was super delicious. Once again, he understood why Yu Shu had summoned House Keeper to life.

“That’s different! I’ve only seen them drifting about before. I thought those were hallucinations. Don’t even mention angels. I often saw UFOs racing in the sky! If I took all of that to be real, I’d have gone crazy a long time ago.”

They’re illusions, not hallucinations. Yu Shu followed his example and took out a cream bun to chew on.

Jiang Ziya immediately took back the bag that held the cream buns. He said protectively, “House Keeper gave these to me. If you want some, why don’t you just tell him to make more?” He was currently forbidden to enter Yu Shu’s apartment. It wasn’t easy for him to order food.

“You think he can produce flour? Huh?” Yu Shu retorted, “This is my flour, my eggs, my sugar, my… Anyway, it’s all mine!” All right, I don’t know what else is necessary to make bread.

Jiang Ziya asked hopefully, “How about I get the ingredients ready and send it over?”

“How about I just have House Keeper marry you? What do you think?”

No Hero Volume 6: Heaven or Hell

Original Novel written by: 御我 (Yu Wo)

Heaven or Hell, Eighth Level: Sewers, A Stifled Voice—translated by Trespasserby (proofread by elisa; C/E edited by lucathia)

“Solitary Butterfly, Dark Sun has been in a bad mood recently. Don’t start any fights with him.”

… You’re making it sound like I spend all day trying to pick fights with him. What’s he unhappy about this time?

“Aiya, you have a menstrual cycle, he also has a modification… going haywire cycle! Please don’t fight with him. Arguing with Dark Sun currently is completely pointless!”

I get it… How is there another robbery? What’s been going on lately? There’s been a ton of robberies! Dealing with robbers armed to the teeth is such a pain. Good thing this case is by both our boundaries. Do you want to go or should I?”

“What about Dragon Peace?”

He just went to deal with a robbery in the southern district! Don’t pick on him just because you know him!”

“Rock, paper…”

“Scissors.”

Scissors.

“Hmph… I’ll head over now.”
