Chapter 130: Wanting A Daughter
She and Lu Xiaotong had always wanted a daughter after they had Lu Aotian. When their second child came out as a boy, they didn't give up. After all, third times the charm. But boy, were they wrong about that saying.
When they found out the baby was a boy, they were happy and regretful at the same time. The baby came out really cute and healthy. They love Lu Chen down to the core. But it was frustrating that they couldn't have a daughter. They even had everything prepared for a daughter. The whole room was dressed up in pink and especially Zhang Wenling. She went crazy as he brought so many dresses and skirts for the girl. When she found out it was a boy, Zhang Wenling starts to cry tears of blood.
However, before she could wallow to no return, Lu Xiaotong realizes hope wasn't lost. Lu Xiaotong thought up a good idea, “ Even if we don’t have a daughter, our sons will have to get married someday. Then we can get ourselves a daughter.” Zhang Wenling nods in agreement as she realizes they could get a daughter in another way.
Since we have three sons, then we would have at least three daughters-in-law.
However, it was as if life was giving a backhand slap to the couple’s idea. Two of their children have no such thoughts of marriage. Lu Aotian is too focus on his studies, while Lu Hao has no interest in girls and would act like a ten-year-old child. Just like that, they already lost two daughters. The only person they can count on now is Lu Chen.
And sure enough, Lu Chen is the only person that could count on. As of right now, he has two beautiful future daughters-in-law in each hand. Yet he also has another one waiting on the side. They lost two but got back three!

While Zhang Wenling has happy thoughts about having many daughters, Lu Chen couldn’t think of a way to escape from this situation. He notices Zhang Wenling, who is in front of him, and an idea sparks inside his mind.
He drags his body towards Zhang Wenling and hugs his Lao Ma, “ Lao Ma, could you bring me to the front porch?” His option leaves the two girls stunned, speechless at his choice. They didn’t expect Lu Chen would go forward to his Lao Ma instead of choosing them. They glare at each other, and they both had the same thought,
This is all your fault! The two blame each other.
While the two of them do that, Zhang Wenling looks at her son in shame. How could my son be such a b*itch?!
She whispers into her son’s ears, “ Xiao Chen, you should have been a man and put your hands on both of them! Both of them are such good picks!” It would have been regretful to let these two girls go to anyone else.
But Lu Chen glares at her, “Lao Ma, I am not a playboy. If I’m getting married, then I will marry only one person.” Seriously, why do people keep thinking that I would become a playboy?
Zhang Wenling could only shake her head at how much of a pansy her son was. She clenches tightly onto her son's arm to make him suffer a bit. Lu Chen’s room connects to a large porch. The porch is pretty large as there are many lawn chairs and a table with a fireplace installed, giving a comfy vibe to it.
Lu Chen took a seat, and Kang Shuchun and Ye Meixiu followed. They took both sides, and the battle was going to start again. Or so, Lu Chen thought.

The two of them sat quietly on each of his sides. The scene is so silent to the point where they could hear a pin drop. Even though the situation looks calm, Lu Chen knows something will explode once one of them makes a move.
Ye Meixiu starts tugging onto Lu Chen’s arm as she said sweetly, “ Brother Chen, ahh.” As she brings the fork up to Lu Chen’s face.
“Meixiu, you don’t have to feed me. I can eat by myself.” Lu Chen picks a piece using his own fork. Ye Meixiu became sad at first, but Lu Chen didn’t let her dwell in sadness. He asks her curiously, “ Meixiu, why did you come here?”

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
8 71The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
