I'll Protect the Tyrant Daddy! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Just as Cien suspected, agents hired by Delphia’s close aides had secretly infiltrated the Rochehrn Forest.
They were a trio of human traffickers whose main activities included infant abduction, murder, and intimidation.
Though their magical power wasn’t exceptionally strong, they were quite skilled at concealing their presence and pinpointing coordinates for kidnappings.
“If we sell her off, it’ll be pretty profitable.”
“No.”
“Didn’t they promise more than the bounty if we bring her straight away?”
“What on earth do they even want with that kid?”
Just as the one-eyed man and the archer were exchanging dull banter, the mage on the far left, who had been drawing a magic circle with his eyes closed, muttered,
“This won’t work—the target abduction is failing.”
“Why?”
The archer—one of the one-eyed twins, with a bow slung across his back—asked roughly. Kidnapping a child usually took ten minutes, but today things weren’t going smoothly at all, and he was already irritated.
“Something keeps continuously blocking my magic.”

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.
