《Legend of Concubine's Daughter Minglan 知否知否 應是綠肥紅瘦》C125. The Triumphant Return (2)

After he left, Minglan slowly walked out of the inner room with a calm look and went toward her grandmother. The smile on Old Madam Sheng's face gradually disappeared. She tiredly leaned against the pillow on the arhat bed and slowly said, "Hongwen is a conscientious person."
Minglan came up to Old Madam Sheng, picked up a small wooden mallet and gently pounded her grandmother's legs while saying in a strangely calm voice, "Everyone has a conscience."
"Hey!" Old Madam Sheng eyed Minglan's tranquil face with interest and asked curiously, "Don't you want to do something to win this marriage?"
Minglan paused for a second, shook her head helplessly and answered, "I have done all I could. Grandma, you are right. The marriage will be blessed only if both families are consensual. A forced marriage won't come to a good end. Please take full charge of my marriage and I will stay out of it. Sheng family brought me up. Even if I'm unable to bring glory to our ancestors, I will never bring shame on the family name."
Old Madam Sheng's heart ached when she saw the look of determination on Minglan's pale face. So she comforted in a soft voice, "Good girl, I'm glad that you know what to do for the best. You are still young and we have enough time to look for a good marriage. Anyway, we have showed extreme patience and magnanimity towards He family. If your persuasion takes effect and Hongwen succeeds in making Cao Jingxiu his sister, we can see that he's a dependable man and I will agree to this marriage. But if he fails..." Old Madam Sheng hesitated for a moment and said firmly, "The Spring Imperial Examination will be held soon. There are so many young talented men in the capital. And our family have no intention of fawning upon the influential people. So, you can rest assured that I will try my best to find an honest man of good character to be your future husband."

Minglan knew that Old Madam Sheng thought highly of Li Yu but this time she dared not let fall a hint of her intentions because she regretted having introduced Minglan to He Hongwen without making thorough inquiries about him.
The remaining sadness in Minglan's heart disappeared. She curled her rosy lips into a sweet smile, revealing two beautiful dimples on her cheeks. "Yeah. Grandma, you are right. .... Click the external link to read the whole chapter 125 on Flying Lines.

The Complete Alchemyst book 2
Continuation of the Alchemyst book 1 Sometimes to be the good guy, you gotta be the bad guy. This is a story about Louis, a guy that was just trying to get along before he got kidnapped and forced to play cook by a Cartel. He's no Heisenberg, however. Now that he's out of Prison and put a beat down on some of the folks that put him away, he's facing the real pressures of Life as a single-person superpower: Everyone wants to use him for their own purposes. Along the way he's met a few girls, some good, some bad. He's looking to save the world, establish an evil empire, secure a future for the people he considers his, and maybe finally kill that damned superhero that started it all. This is not 'the boys'. Not all superheroes or supervillains are evil, The 'super' world is expanding to include aliens, magic, and the children of ancient deities and legends. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate.

Rise of the Green
This is set three hundred years before my other fiction, Journal of an Adventurer. With the age of disbelief coming to a close, people shoved to the side and rejected from mainstream sociality came together to form an organisation. If they worked together, they would protect their way of life, which conflicts with their technological mindset. In Favinonia, a place of learning and advancement. Where the world’s new technologies are created and studied. University Engineers reworking various new designs of past do-dads and gismos to serve the need of the populous. In a world still filled with magic, the Favinonian people have turned away from magic to embrace this new reasoning. Deprived of faith, the populous was yes advance but lacked humanity and needed to move onto the next step, losing emotion and losing touch with the higher realm. These cause some to fall for other means, pursuing that need to fill with devil and demon cults. In the chaos and ignorance came a community of healers with ancient knowledge before the Massacre of Magic. These few will eventually found the church of the Trinity whose three aspects of Green, life and death with healing and agriculture, Orange, retribution and protection with the flame of passion and Blue, knowledge and law with the clarity of the mind.

This was not one of those times.A quick warning from me before you read! This story has broken characters. They all have flaws and none are perfect.
