I Didn't Really Want to Do Farming! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
“It’s gotten all jingly-jangly in my stomach, just like yours.”
Kookus chuckled softly as he replied to the startled Stella. Then he pulled out the dagger Puca had entrusted to him before leaving and placed it on the table.
“Puca left it for you, Princess. And he said the fee for finding Ludina would be free.”
“Why?”
“He said he felt you’d repay him with something even better later.”
Even as he spoke, Kookus thought it made no sense. Yet, as time passed, his once-firm resolve kept wavering. Pushing aside his unnecessary thoughts, Kookus handed Stella the note Puca had left along with the dagger.
“He said it explains how to use this dagger.”
Stella, puzzled that a dagger would even need special instructions, unfolded the crumpled paper.
It was so worn along the folds from being carried around for so long that it looked nearly torn to shreds. That alone suggested how precious the item was, making Stella handle the paper with utmost care as she unfolded it.
As she silently read the words written on the paper, Stella’s eyes widened in astonishment.
She picked up the dagger from the table with newfound curiosity.
The hilt, tinged with a pale gray hue, looked as if it were carved from marble, though it was said to be made of ancient pearl stone.
The end of the hilt was smoothly rounded into a hemisphere, and six imitation pearls were neatly embedded along the grip like a border.
Beneath them sat an octagonal gray gemstone, so perfectly matching the hilt’s color that one might easily overlook it at first glance.
“Bloodsucker Stone?”

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.”
