The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 17
Advertisement
Mengmeng decided to keep the name to herself. She didn't tell her two companions about the name she remembered. She feared that 'Han Xukun' might be the name of the father of the child she was carrying.
That should be a great thing, right? But then… she couldn't help but think… what if she didn't have a good relationship with him? If she told them the name of that man, they might send her off to him at once.
What kind of man was Han Xukun?
The kid in her memory was cold… what if he grew up to be an abusive person? If that was the case, going back to her old life would only be a terrible idea! This life was better than being beaten up, right? But… What if he wasn't a bad person? She wouldn't know, not until her memories returned. She probably should stay low. Instead of that man, she should focus on looking for her family.
"Since we're going to work together from now on, I will give you an important piece of advice." Tian Ruyi couldn't hide the look of despair in her eyes. "We have one common enemy right now. We need to be careful once we arrive in Japan," she added confidentially.
"E-enemy?" Mengmeng stammered, blinking in surprise. If there was someone she would consider a threat at that moment, it was none other than Bai Jingye's mother and brother. "Are they Bai Jingye's parents and brother?" She asked carefully, curiously as well.
A scoff escaped Tian Ruyi's lips, "they're just his pawns. The mastermind behind them is the real threat."
The mastermind?
"Bai Keran," she said with a dark look on her face. "I advise you not to trust him so easily."
Mengmeng furrowed her brows in confusion. " Why? Grandpa Bai has helped me a lot."

"Did you really think that he will help someone like you without plotting something behind?"
"But I saved him… shouldn't that be enough reason?" No matter how much she tried to think about it, Bai Keran never treated her cruelly. He helped her. If there was someone she could trust the most, it was probably him.
"Even if that's the case, you shouldn't believe everything he said to you." She took her bag and pulled out a small amber bottle, showing it to her. "He gave Jingye this medicine for you to take once we reach Japan. Do you know what kind of medicine this is?"
"Since it's a medicine he gave, it should be good, right?"
"All kinds of medicine always have their own adverse effects. This bottle has powdered rosemary inside. It may help you with your memories if you take proper amounts but… will it be good for the child you are carrying?" She asked, sharply staring at her.
"Don't tell me that's…" she paused, she was rather hesitant about continuing. Deep inside, she was rather hoping that it was not that kind of medicine.
Tian Ruyi didn't wait for her as she continued, "rosemary is also usually used by women who wanted to abort their children."
Abortion… If that herbal medicine was given by grandpa Bai then did he know about her pregnancy?
"Do you still think that Bai Keran is a simple old man who only wants to repay you with kindness for saving his life?"
"That can't be. It might just be a coincidence. He doesn't know that I'm pregnant."
"Are you sure about that?" She placed the bottle on the table. "You were unconscious for two months after the accident, right? It was Bai Keran who paid for your hospital bills. If not you, then to whom will the doctor report your condition to?"

Mengmeng clenched her fists tightly as she lowered her head, her eyes locked on the small amber bottle. It was hard to believe the facts that were served in front of her. She thought that he was the only person on her side who was willing to protect her until her memories returned.
"Then why did he make me marry Bai Jingye? Why did he lie about me being his adoptive granddaughter and a fiancé of his grandson?"
Wasn't it all because she saved him?
"That's because Bai Jingye is the only person who wants to escape his reins. Everyone in the Bai family is his pawns. Jingye didn't want to be one."

Beatrice Santello
An adult imagining of Beatrice Santello's life prior to the events of Night in the Woods. There are no explicit depictions of sex here, though there are obviously adult themes and situations involving it. I wasn't going to post it to Royalroad as I didn't think Fanfiction was okay here - but now I see it is and I am quite convinced it is the best work I've ever done yet, I've got to see what any fans of NitW think about it! The first chapter was originally written as a short vignette and wasn't intended to be continued into a full blown story. It was just intended to be moody and evocative. Even though anyone that has played Night in the Woods has a good idea how this must end, I hope it will still be worth the read. Also, since I've finished writing it, I'm going to post it as one big chapter dump all at once. Cover drawing by GreasyMojo and colored by me (with permission!). I don't think it should be too risque on it's own but I suppose I'll soon find out.

What if your university had a secret group of students from other dimensions? Hidden between the planes of reality, hold countless interdimensional students from succubi to wolfmen who call the university home.

Memoirs of A Healer/Clinical Social Worker: Autobiography of Bruce Whealton
A loving spouse. A healer. How does this person cope with evil villains willing to destroy everything? They convicted the victim... now how does the victim goes on with life as a healer?As the book opens, I was in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt in December 2019. What starts as a simple conversation with another patient changed my life. Most of the rest of the book tells the reader how I got to this point. I experienced profound injustice between 2004 and 2006. By opening with a story about suicide, I want the reader to understand that the injustice was not just something that happened long ago.This book is an account of all the accomplishments and successes that I had in overcoming tremendous odds and challenges. Growing up, I was paralyzed by shyness and lacked social skills, and so the idea of becoming a psychotherapist never occurred to me when I went off to college. I learned that I could overcome those limitations. I wanted to bring that hope and healing to others. Activities like that make life meaningful and bring me joy. The reasons why I was suicidal in 2019 were set in motion in 2000 when a meteor would come crashing down upon the life that I had built leaving me powerless to do anything other than watching everything burn to ashes - the home that I had, the life I had known, the love I had, my career, everything would disappear almost as if it never existed. In that one the year 2000, I could not imagine things could get any worse. But the nightmare would continue for the next few years... culminating in a suicide attempt in 2019. Now, I am connecting with others, building relationships, and finding a reason to live again. I am writing my own story of my life. I will fight against the injustice of the past and offer my gifts to the world. I have so much to offer. I have quite a story to tell. I hope you will help me to move on with my life.
