Has Senior Sister Regained Her Cultivation Today?

Carefully hiding the fact that she has lost all her cultivation, the senior sister x an innocent junior brother who knows nothing of the ways of the world

Three hundred years after transmigrating, Ming Yun had not become the strongest under heaven. Instead, she had somehow lost her cultivation.

For her own safety, she carefully kept it a secret.

When the sect held another recruitment drive, she found a junior brother in a dog hole.

He knew nothing of the ways of the world and was extraordinarily naive. For some inexplicable sense of familiarity, he often followed her around.

With her junior brother around, it became a little easier for Ming Yun to hide her secret.

He was naturally gifted and had decent cultivation. Whenever anything happened, he always stepped in front of her.

Ming Yun was deeply moved. Besides looking after him as usual, she also patiently taught him how to deal with people and handle things.

When she learned that he was troubled because he needed to find someone he didn't know, Ming Yun comforted him.

"Wangqing Sect is your home. Focus on your cultivation, and your senior sister will help you look for them."

Her junior brother was so touched that, when someone questioned whether Ming Yun was still the champion of the tournament after not descending the mountain for years, he didn't hesitate to hand over his life-bound sword.

Ming Yun held the sword as whispers from the crowd below drifted up to her.

"Apart from its owner, only their partner can wield a life-bound sword. No matter how much stronger someone else is, they could never simply draw another person's sword..."

The next moment, Ming Yun effortlessly drew her junior brother's sword. Its fierce sword energy showed no sign of her cultivation having regressed.

The person who had just spoken so confidently asked in disbelief,

"Ming Yun drew Xie Xun's life-bound sword. What is their relationship?"

My next novel, "After Lifting the Lid of My Dead Husband's Coffin," is coming soon. Add it to your collection if you're interested. The full manuscript is already 150,000 characters long, and it launches on September 23~

A bride who cries at the drop of a hat but is incredibly strong x a young general who faked his death and bears a disgraced name

Lin Ting is a widow. To fake her death and search for the memories of her first sixteen years as soon as possible, she adopted an heir for her deceased husband to carry on the family line.

On the way back to her hometown to offer sacrifices to her mother-in-law's ancestors, her adopted son was kidnapped. She tracked him to a dungeon and, with no other choice, lifted the lid of the innermost coffin.

Good news: the man inside was still alive.

Bad news: he was her husband, who had been dead for three years.

After her husband came back to life, Lin Ting found it harder and harder to feel at ease.

Putting aside whether her original plan to fake her death could still work, her husband kept saying he owed her and stayed by her side every day, dealing with all sorts of "trouble" that seemed to come from nowhere.

To be fair, her husband was capable, treated her well, and was handsome. But as they spent more time together, not only was her plan thrown into disarray, their initial agreement to treat each other with mutual respect was turning into a deeply loving marriage.

She felt uneasy.

One day, her husband got into a fight with her friend's older brother. After Lin Ting went to apologize, she asked her friend in frustration what she should do. Her friend replied,

"If you really like him, tell him what you're planning to do. If you only kind of like him, fake your death. If you don't like him, put him back in his coffin."

Lin Ting understood. So she chose the second option.

At last, she found a good opportunity to fake her death. To make it easier to uncover clues about her origins, she continued to present herself as a widow.

Until one stormy night, some enemies came looking for her. Lin Ting waited behind the door with a knife in hand, but outside she heard the faint clash of blades, followed by a few terrified, halting words.

"But... but... weren't we told a widow lived here?"

A familiar male voice replied softly as he pushed open the door.

"Her dead husband came back to life."

The next moment, Lin Ting, knife in hand, met the gaze of a man with damp hair at his temples.

Li Chaoque, who had faked his death and returned, was rather troubled after his nominal wife lifted the lid of his coffin.

First, he had faked his death for three years and felt guilty toward his wife. He wanted to make it up to her, but she didn't seem to like him following her around.

Second, there were always idiots who shamelessly fawned over his wife, then told him they wanted to compete fairly.

So he began living a life where he didn't dare close his eyes for even a moment.

At night, he searched for evidence to expose the corrupt officials and clear his name. By day, he sabotaged his romantic rivals.

What a joke. Why should his wife have to compete fairly with anyone else?

On the twentieth day of his sabotage, his wife disappeared.

He exhausted himself helping his wife, who had faked her death, deal with her enemies. Sitting in her room, he quietly asked whether he had done anything wrong. She stared at him for a long while, clearly conflicted, before finally saying,

"You haven't done anything wrong. I just only kind of like you."

Li Chaoque: ? What does it mean to only kind of like me?

-- Bonus scene --

One day, the two of them met at Nanfeng House while searching for evidence. Seeing all the men trying to win Lin Ting over so she would buy out their contracts, Li Chaoque turned and went into a room.

When Lin Ting came in, she looked utterly astonished.

"What are you doing here?"

"Warming the bed for my wife."

After a night of passion, Li Chaoque contentedly brushed away the fine sheen of sweat at his wife's temple. But when he barely touched her, she reached out to push him away.

"Don't..."

Li Chaoque took her hand and guided it downward, placing it over Lin Ting's heart. He pressed his lips to her ear and asked in a whisper,

"Tingniang, how much do you like me now?"
