No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
Meiana swiftly wrapped Ariante in a towel, cocooning her like a little burrow. Ariante, who had been struggling to wriggle her limbs free with only her head poking out, spoke.
“Something terrible has happened!”
“What on earth could be so urgent that you came running out in just your undergarments? Oh, heavens! Look at the water on the carpet!”
It seemed she’d kicked all the water pooled on the bathroom floor out with her as she dashed out—already, a stain had soaked into the expensive carpet. Carefully avoiding the spot so it wouldn’t spread further, Meiana stepped back into the bathroom and set Ariante down.
“What terrible thing has happened, my lady?”
“Look at this.”
Ariante lifted the paper balloon from the table above her head. It was utterly filthy from being clutched and fiddled with all day long.
When Meiana gave her a puzzled look, Ariante stamped her foot in frustration.
“Look here! Right here—it’s all crumpled! It’s shriveled up!”
“Huh? Let me see… Ah, you’re right. It must’ve lost its air.”
Fear instantly flashed in Ariante’s large eyes. Then, with a gesture so pitiful it tugged at the heart, she began stomping her feet anxiously.
“If it loses air, it crumples! How do we put the air back in?”
“That might be difficult… It’s a paper balloon, my lady. It would’ve shriveled up anyway after a night or so.”
At Meiana’s words, Ariante’s face crumpled miserably. The balloon had already begun to wrinkle, and bringing it into the humid bathroom had only sealed its fate—but Meiana hadn’t been able to stop her from insisting on carrying it in…
“If we go back to the village tomorrow, can I get another one?”

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.
