My Insolent Shadow (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 20
The next day, Yuriciel woke up and, at her mother’s insistence, set off to thank Hael.
She carried a bunch of fish dangling from her hands.
Though it was just ordinary fish at Hael’s place, it was quite a rare delicacy at Yuriciel’s home.
Remembering how Hael always emptied every fish dish whenever he visited, her mother had wanted to give him at least this.
In truth, if Hael’s household saw this, they might even find it laughable.
That lady might toss it straight into the trash.
Yet, understanding her mother’s sincerity, Yuriciel didn’t bother stopping her further.
Walking down the usual desolate alley and passing the harbor,
Uncle Brown called out to her.
“Where are you off to at this hour?”
Brown was one of the few adults who often gave Yuriciel extra coins.
More precisely, even before that, he had been the only adult in the village who ever looked after her.
Though he wore the same clothes every day—earning him the nickname “miser”—the payment he handed her always carried a rough but genuine warmth.
Partly because he felt a kinship with Yuriciel, and partly because he pitied the sight of such a small child running errands all alone.
If his daughter were still alive, she’d be just like her.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
