This is just what I need. Another jealous idiot.
It had been a while since he had to deal with someone who didn’t know their place. The last time he really needed to beat some arrogant young master who coveted one of his women was… when was it? He paused, tilted his head, and t...
2022-12-28 14:44:07 +0000 UTC View PostWu Jian, Hou Jingshu, Zhou Lihua, and the others were up bright and early the next morning. No one seemed to know about the conversation that took place between the three of them last night. However, Zhou Wen had eyed them suspiciously. Wu Jian did his best to pretend he hadn’t seen her looking...
2022-12-26 19:20:27 +0000 UTC View Post“This is beautiful,” Wu Jian breathed.
Hua Xue almost seemed to thrust out her chest with pride. “That sword is called Pale Moon. I found it a long time ago in a legacy tomb. I doubt you will ever find a better sword on this world than the one you now hold.”
Wu Jian believed h...

2022-12-25 12:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone awoke early the next morning, ate breakfast, and headed out under the watchful eyes of Yu Chenguang and his two wives.
Because Long Pass was so narrow, they were unable to take their carriage and had to walk. Hou Jingshu and Zhou Lihua were at least afforded horses. Yu Mao was allo...
2022-12-23 16:56:35 +0000 UTC View PostHou Jingshu stiffened up like a wood plank. While Zhou Lihua studied her friend in worry, Wu Jian turned around to find Hou Kun naught but several jin away. He wore the same arrogant smirk Wu Jian remembered from last time. Mixed in that expression, however, was anger.
Hou Kun wore differen...
2022-12-23 14:53:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe little girl was like a lightning bolt as she raced toward Hou Jingshu, who knelt and spread out her arms to catch the child. The young girl couldn’t have been older than nine or ten. She had the same hair color as the woman on Yu Changuang’s left, a somewhat lighter shade of brown. Her ey...
2022-12-21 16:38:13 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m sorry, Jingshu,” Wu Jian said after thoroughly studying the emperor’s body.
Hou Jingshu closed her eyes, took a deep, slow breath, then released it. She slowly relaxed the hands that had been clenched into fists.
“It’s okay.” She opened her eyes and smiled at him. ...

Michiroon sent this over to me just this morning and I added in the text and font.
2022-12-20 15:20:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe carriage ride was quiet. Hou Jingshu didn’t speak the entire time. She just leaned into Wu Jian’s side as though seeking comfort, and he returned her embrace. He was glad she didn’t feel like talking. There was a lot on his mind as well.
No words were spoken even after reaching th...
2022-12-19 16:37:12 +0000 UTC View PostZhou Lihua stared into her cauldron. She took several deep breaths, holding it, then breathing out slowly. Her hand hovered over a set of ingredients placed in little boxes to her left as she inspected each one with her chi. She could tell what kind of condition they were in simply from letting h...

I meant to deliver these much sooner, but I've been busy with the Early Release announcement on Tapas. Better late than never, I guess.

Now here's a question for you. Who is this?
2022-12-16 20:52:31 +0000 UTC View PostWu Jian found himself sandwiched between Zhou Lihua and Hou Jingshu. It had only been a few minutes since he had returned. The vivacious heiress of the Zhou Clan had only just released his lips. He was certain she was acting this lasciviously because he and Hou Jingshu were intimate. This was mos...
2022-12-16 16:10:47 +0000 UTC View Post“Messing with you? What makes you say that?” asked Wu Jian.
“Don’t play dumb.” Hou Kun’s glare grew even more fierce. “You’ve been going easy on me this entire time. You think I can’t tell? I wasn’t born yesterday. I know when someone isn’t taking a fight seriously.”...
2022-12-16 14:40:22 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day was when the match between Wu Jian and Hou Kun was set to take place. Mun Han had made the announcement not even an hour after Wu Jian left. He woke up early that morning to find that everyone and their mother seemed to already know about the match. People stared at him when he came ...
2022-12-14 16:01:35 +0000 UTC View PostWu Jian was too shocked to speak for a moment. His hand went up to his mask, fingers caressing the cool surface. It was an instinctive reaction to the words this man spoke--and he was definitely a man. Of that Wu Jian had no doubts anymore. His voice was too deep to be a woman’s.

Walls surrounded them all on sides. This was unusual given that the architecture of this palace was designed to be open so its residents co...

I've got Michiroon hard at work on some artwork for Severing Time & Space. This is some of the work she is doing right now.
2022-12-11 14:57:17 +0000 UTC View PostIt took two full days of work to harvest everything from the Hell Ape. Every part of the corpse was valuable in some way. The organs could be either cooked or used in medicine, the hide and bones made extremely durable armor and clothing, and of course, the spirit core was the most valuable item ...
2022-12-09 17:28:38 +0000 UTC View PostWu Jian looked back at the corpse. He hadn’t realized it was such a powerful magical beast, but it had definitely been strong. If he hadn’t been a practitioner in the Dao of Space, there was no way he would have been able to defeat it. He would have died ingloriously and all his ambitions wou...

The much older man was in the lead, jumping from branch to branch so quickly his feet barely seemed to touch bark. This man was light on his feet.

Xia Lin was unable to keep up with ...
2022-12-05 16:54:22 +0000 UTC View PostWu Jian glanced at a tree that towered over him like a goliath. Its giant trunk was so massive that it would take fifteen of him holding hands to encircle it. Leaves so large they looked like blankets hung from branches that were twisted in a myriad of ways.
