I Became the Assassin Family's Foster Daughter (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Pythons and Riche walked into the library.
After passing a few bookshelves, they came upon an empty space about the size of one pyeong.
The familiar spot was exactly as it had been two months ago—even the broken mirror lying on the floor.
“…….”
Riche quickly leaped toward the wall, putting as much distance as possible between herself and the mirror.
“Contractor, over here.”
Pythons, who had already dashed ahead, pressed his paw against the marble floor—a spot where the aura of a star fragment could be felt.
Thanks to their training, Riche drilled a hole precisely to the depth Pythons had indicated.
Pythons crawled inside, his body wobbling, yet somehow managed to find the star fragment.
It was a pure white stone. Pythons grinned with satisfaction.
“We’re lucky, huh?”
“Why?”
Pythons explained to the curious Riche.
The color of a star fragment is determined by its properties, and white usually signifies healing or restoration.
“If this turns out to be a healing star with restorative powers too? Then we’d be the strongest, that’s what I’m saying.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.

Will she become friends with all the ability users’ children?
It’s a pity two years got skipped just like that. I hope she was able to at least develop the restorative/healing skill from the shard.
I wonder why she needed to enrol in the Academy. What is the start plotting? And why instead of winning her over it threatened her instead?
