Chapter 538: 538
Sister-In-Law (3)
At this moment, even Sir Tie Jing himself felt like if he was trapped like this without weapons and douqi, he would not be able to get out .
If he felt that way, it was the same for everyone else .
However, Zhao Yarou disagreed . She felt like Ye Lang would still be able to escape . Even if it seemed impossible, he would still be able to hide .
Just as she guessed, Ye Lang started to move . He dodged everything so quickly that none of their nets touched him . Everyone was so shocked, even Sir Tie Jing widened his eyes .
He wasn’t only quick, he was also graceful like a dancing butterfly . He didn’t look like pathetic or desperate .
However, it was not easy for him . When Zhao Yarou’s special nets landed, the people behind him threw more . They had a lot in stock . He could dodge once, twice, thrice but how long could he last?
Even if he did not make a mistake, he would still exhaust himself . Plus, as he was dodging the nets, his enemies were inching closer, surrounding him .
He had to think of something to break their ranks .
He seemed to know what to do .
“Haargh!”
Ye Lang stomped the ground hard, the thick slab of stone exploded into pieces . These stone pieces flew at them, he was trying to make them back away .
However, this method was not effective . Zhao Yarou’s Tian formation not just wrapped around him, it blocked the dust and stones from getting out .
Ye Lang looked helpless inside . The people who cared about Ye Lang were worried, especially Ye Zhu’er .
As for Li Yue, she was worried too . Although she hated Ye Lang for lying, she did not want him to fall into Zhao Yarou’s hands .

A smile crept up the corners of Zhao Yarou’s lips . A smile of victory . Ye Lang was powerless in her chessboard, he was a sitting duck .
At this moment, there was more commotion . After stepping on one stone tile, he stepped on another one, then a few more .
Everyone thought he looked like a frustrated, helpless animal .
In the end, when he stomped on the last tile, he seemed to spring up into the sky . The guards around him were prepared to fight but not in the air like that .
Zhu Ye’er was secretly beaming . If Ye Lang could fly, as long as he flew out of the anti-magic formation’s area of influence, then he could utilise his alchemy skills to escape .
Up in the sky, it would be difficult to catch him . As long as he could fly out of here, he would be like a bird flying out of a cage– fly straight and never look back!
Flying up, huh? That’s suicide .
Zhao Yarou was secretly grinning . She knew Ye Lang could fly very far but it would be hard to fly out of the boundaries of her antimagic formation .
She had designed the game, how would she have forgotten the vertical space? She’d made her men expand the vertical axis of the antimagic boundary . No matter how high Ye Lang could leap, he would not be able to leap out of the formation .
At the time, she had made calculation according to his Qinggong martial arts abilities- she did not know what kind of ability it was called but she knew it was a special skill he had . To avoid accidentally underestimating him, she multiplied the height she’d seen him leap by three times to obtain the final boundary height .
Underneath Ye Lang, something that looked like a net was quickly expanding, as if telling him: if you fall in here, you’ll never get out .

At the same time, the same special nets were hurled at him from all directions . Ye Lang was a good target in the air, it was easier to catch him like that .
However, when he saw the nets flying at him, he did not look worried at all . Instead, he looked pleasantly surprised . Very soon, everyone would know why he was so happy .
If Zhao Yarou knew what was going to happy, she would’ve never told her men to throw stuff at him .
“Rise . ”
Ye Lang stepped on the items lightly, then shot higher up like an arrow .
“How is that possible? How could he use that as support? That’s very light, how could that provide any support?” Zhao Yarou and the rest stared in shock .
Usually, they would’ve said it was magic . But he was in an anti-magic zone, using magic was impossible .
No one could figure it out, they would never know because Ye Lang never told them how he did it .
It would be useless even if he did . How would anyone in this universe understand what Qinggong was?
Using these items as support, he could spring out of the anti-magic zone’s boundaries . Then he’d be able to do whatever he wanted .
If they hadn’t thrown stuff at him?
Simple, he was ready to take off his clothes, using them as stepping boards . They were great springboards, functioning like stepping stones as he flew upwards .
However, there was a disadvantage- he might be naked and that did not look cool at all .
But once he flew out of the boundary, he was sure he had many methods to increase his airtime, till he flew out of the palace .
Even if he could not fly out, he had many ways to hide, then slip out on his own .
But did he get what he wanted?
Ye Lang’s path to freedom was filled with obstacles . He noticed people also charging at him- these people were assigned by Zhao Yarou just in case this happened . They were stationed mid-air to guard against this move .
In the beginning, she thought this was unnecessary, they might not have to move at all . However, once she saw Ye Lang escape, she knew it was the smart thing to do . Being prepared was better than nothing .
When he saw them, Ye Lang couldn’t help but curse Zhao Yarou . What was her brain made of? To guard against even this, she was too meticulous!
That was perhaps how Zhao Yarou took the throne for herself too . And if it weren’t for Ye Lang, she would’ve been able to capture the entire Ye family .
Then her usurping of the throne would’ve been perfect .
“Fuck, an aerial battle? Well, I’m not afraid of you!”
Although there were guards here, he was not afraid . Ye Lang was confident in his aerial battle skills . He had Qinggong in his belt, of course he was!
These people immediately tried to force Ye Lang down, back into the anti-magic zone .
A huge net fell from the sky, about to swallow Ye Lang .
No matter how good his Qinggong was, it didn’t look like he had anywhere to run . There was nowhere to hide .

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.

Red Street Daybreak
August Samuel Hatch was born under an inauspicious pattern of stars. It's granted him what is widely considered the most unlucky of inconveniences: becoming host to a powerful but pernicious spirit that will act as his guide and protector--and one day end his life. Sairne is sworn to stand by August's side and, when the fancy strikes her, advise him, all in the service of atoning for a past life she can’t remember having committed a grave enough offense to earn her soul indentureship in the mortal realm. Bound by a celestial contract neither one can negotiate, their fates are all they've ever known. But in a city ruled by religious right and where magic runs deep as bedrock, their search for a missing friend leads them to a dark conspiracy that could transmute the very magic that binds them to their fates, and that might grant them the ultimate choice: do they save the city or save themselves? Cross-posted on Wattpad and Ao3. For fans of fantasy YA story beats if they starred adults instead, 1920s inspired setting, lots of banter, larger cast of characters, somewhat soft magic system. Completed, but being actively edited prior to posting! I'm the only captain on this ship, so mind any errors.
