Chapter 21: Runaway Plan (3)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next morning, Zhao Youlin fiddled for almost half a day inside the bedroom. She made an effort to dress up herself before taking Joy downstairs.
The maids downstairs were stunned when they saw Zhao Youlin’s appearance. A flash of surprise darted in their eyes. But, soon after, they lowered their heads and no longer dared to take another look.
After breakfast, Zhao Youlin took out the signed divorce agreement and threw it on the table.
The gaze in the old butler’s eyes turned complicated. He was stepped forward to collect the agreement but was stopped when Zhao Youlin placed a hand over the agreement.
“Where’s Mu Tingfeng now?”
The old butler was startled. He did not understand what Zhao Youlin meant by this. So, he replied reservedly, “Madam, the young master’s whereabouts…”
“Can’t be revealed?” Zhao Youlin interrupted the old butler before he finished speaking. Then, she smirked. “What’s wrong? Is he afraid that I might pester him? Once the document is handed out today, I’m no longer tied to the Mu family. Both of us used to be a married couple. So, I don’t think it’s too much to ask to see him for one last time, right?”
“This…” The old butler hesitated for a while, “Let me ask the young master.”
“Go ahead.”
The old butler hurriedly ran to a corner and dialed the number. Meanwhile, Zhao Youlin ate the fruits after dinner with Joy lounging on the other side, not far away. She kept her eye on him in silence.
After noticing the old butler’s troubled expression while talking to the phone, her expression turned increasingly solemn. Finally, she frowned and rose up.
Just as the old butler was at a loss on how to persuade the young master to meet up with her, the sound of footsteps was heard beside him. Before he had even turned his head, the phone in his hand had been grabbed by someone.

“Madam…”
Zhao Youlin shushed him with a finger and spoke into the phone. “Mu Tingfeng?”
The person on the other end was startled for a moment, “You…”
“What’s wrong? Can’t you even recognize your wife’s voice after not seeing her for just a few days?”
No sound came from the phone. Zhao Youlin could imagine Mu Tingfeng’s troubled expression without even looking.
After a long time, he finally spoke in a low and enthralling voice from the phone, “I heard that you wanted to see me, right?”
Zhao Youlin smiled and said, “We used to be a married couple, after all. I don’t think it’s too much to ask to meet one last time before we divorce, right?”
“I don’t think there’s a need for us to meet up.”
Mu Tingfeng’s voice carried a tinge of pouting displeasure. Even Zhao Youlin could feel his coldness from the other end of the line. However, it did not affect Zhao Youlin’s pleasure in riling him up that much.
“Hehe! You’re not afraid of me, aren’t you, Young Master Mu? Don’t forget that your divorce agreement is still in my hand. Is your promise of granting any of my requests as long as I’m willing to divorce still in effect? Meeting up for one last time is nothing compared to my previous requests, right?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line again. Soon after, he spoke, “We’ll meet at Direct Sun Cafe in the afternoon. This is your final request. Don’t try my patience.”
Zhao Youlin completely overlooked Mu Tingfeng’s threat. She replied with a sneer, “Don’t try my patience too. We’ll meet at Direct Sun Cafe in half an hour. Decide for yourself if you want to come or not.”

After Zhao Youlin finished speaking, she ignored the man’s response on the other end and hung up.
When Mu Tingfeng heard the beeping sound of a disconnected call, his icy-cold face finally twitched for a moment. How dare that woman actually hang up his phone! She was digging her own grave!
Su Qing drank tonic soup beside him in silence. When she noticed her ever-cold cousin turning black after receiving the call, she sighed to herself. She wondered about the brave hero who actually dared mess with a tiger. How heroic!

8 81No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going. Cover drawn by yours truly in MS paint. (I have skill, I know)

8 83Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers. He doesn't care for the war with the rebel armies. He doesn't feel the need to vocalize complaints. He doesn't hunt for gossip and there is no object that he cares enough about to desire. He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.
