I Became the Assassin Family's Foster Daughter (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Ah, right. This isn’t the time to be standing around.
Riche remembered she had to purify Duke Hibetsman’s aura before Deon arrived.
“I’ll be right back! You have to stay inside until my brother comes!”
“Yeah. Take your time. I’ll let Senior Dercedion know.”
“No! My brother’s scary, okay? I’ll be back soon.”
Riche hurried down the corridor and turned the corner, then changed direction and retraced her steps.
She passed by Ian again, but since she had activated cognitive manipulation, he didn’t recognize her.
[As expected, my ability is perfect. What kind of kid is Dercedion, anyway, to see through it?]
Pythons swallowed hard, thinking, “He shows promise as a warrior. Even if he’s just a remnant of those bastards, he might not be a bad choice as my disciple.”
Meanwhile, Riche entered Duke Hibetsman’s bedroom.
Blake lost in thought, Lovenhaf with a dark expression, along with a physician and a few other visitors who had come to pay their respects.
Riche walked past them and approached Duke Hibetsman, who lay on the bed.
The accumulated aura had spread throughout his entire body—so thick it obscured even his face.
‘I haven’t seen it this bad since that time.’
It reminded her of the ability users she’d seen just before Agnes died in her previous life.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.

After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
Didn’t it say in the previous chapter that there were two squirrels? 🤔 Doesn’t Python have a thought form looking like a human rn?
It was a little chaotic. At least now they know about her identity. I wasn’t feeling good about hiding it in this situation.
Is Hikenka going to leave them? I started liking him tbh
