Lv.99 Princess of Dark Flames (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 198
The roof, haphazardly assembled atop stone pillars and patched together with dried straw, barely blocked the sun—but it was enough to shield them from the scorching heat.
“Are you thirsty? Here, have some of this.”
Someone approached Eun Ha. She was a tall, slender woman—the mother of the cute little girl who had followed Min Ju closely.
With a gentle smile, she handed a cup each to Lee Jun and Eun Ha. The cups held lukewarm water with floating leaves.
“Thank you.”
Eun Ha bowed her head slightly as she accepted the cup, but she didn’t bring it to her lips. Glancing up briefly, she saw Lee Jun across from her pretending to drink, then subtly pouring the water onto the ground.
Still holding her cup, Eun Ha slowly scanned her surroundings.
The building was barely more than a crude imitation of a house, cobbled together from readily available materials like stone and straw. Its simple exterior was adorned with dense patterns scratched into the earthen floor and walls, seemingly carved with stones. Upon closer inspection, these markings resembled the ambiguous symbols—or perhaps script—engraved on the massive door at the tower’s entrance.
Once the woman had moved away, Eun Ha whispered softly, just loud enough for Lee Jun to hear.
“…What do you think?”
Though vague, the question was sufficient. Like Eun Ha, Lee Jun had been surveying their surroundings; he gave a small twitch of his lips.
“Suspicious.”
“…I thought so too.”
“Did you notice? These people here—their eyes lack focus.”
Eun Ha had realized that herself long ago. But in her case, there was one more oddity she’d observed among them.

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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
