《Marriage in Corrosive Love》C11. Was Human Life So Worthless?
Advertisement
His words were gentle but with a hint of threat.
Shen Qingkong was shivering on all her body, feeling freezing cold
What was the man she was keen on for these years!
How could he say like this!
“Get out of here!” Shen Qingkong tapped on the bed crazily. Pointing at the door, she screamed, “get out of here now! Mu Linxuan, I don’t want to see you again!”
Think what I said carefully. Mu Linxuan straightened his body, and lifted his hands to clear up his shirt with slight drapes, showing noble elegance and reservation. At the same time, he was so indifferent and high above, out of reach. “We’ve together for years, and you should understand me. Do not irritate me. Or you have to suffer from it.”
Then Mu Linxuan left.
Shen Qingkong rolled the contract into a mass by kneading it, and then jumped on it and trampled fiercely. She felt delighted when seeing it treaded into pieces.
Haha!
Shen Qingkong laughed crazily.
It was so funny!
His dearest dad died, replaced with several pieces of paper?
Was human life so worthless?
Or only her family’s life was so worthless?
Mu Linxuan stood next to the door, listening to the crying in the room. He waited until there was no noise in the room, and then went downstairs.
Yu Youyou bound up her wound and waited in the living room. Seeing that Mu Linxuan was walking downstairs, she came up urgently, “Xuan, is Qingkong ok?”
“She’s not good.”
Yu Youyou’s eye sockets turned red, and she blamed herself, “it’s all my fault. It will not happen if I said nothing to Uncle Shen.”
“Yes. It’s your fault.”
Yu Youyou was shocked. She intended to say something else. However, seeing the indifference and isolation in the expression of the man and the coldness in his eyes, she turned cautious.

“I’m sorry.” Yu Youyou lowered her head. “If Qingkong wants to kill me, I’d like to die. Anyway, I should have been dead……”
“Leave from this place!” Mu Linxuan interrupted her, “You’d better not come to the villa later. Qingkong is pregnant, and I will keep her away from any mental attack before she gives birth to her baby.”
Then, Mu Linxuan walked outside passing by her. Yu Youyou was mentally disturbed. Mu Linxuan was unusual today. Did he find something?
No.
Impossible.
……
Shen Qingkong’s dad was buried seven days later.
She went to Shen’s family early on the day her father was buried.
Lin Zhiqiu did not allow Shen Qingkong to enter into the room or worship in the mourning hall.
Although friends and relatives coming for worship said nothing, their scornful eye expressions and gesticulating with whispering made Shen Qingkong very upset.
Shen Qingkong complained nothing. In fact, she had no qualification to do so.
She thought she deserved such blames.
Friends and relatives attending the burial ceremony left one after another after the end of the ceremony.
Until this time, Shen Qingkong, who was seeing far away, walked to the graveyard. She had to say goodbye to her father.
Getting closer to the gravestone, she heard coarse and sorrowful cry, making people feel so sad.
Shen Qingkong saw a person who almost cried to death by holding the gravestone; that was Lin Zhiqiu.
As if she was given a slap, she did not dare to get closer. She got down on her knees, and kowtowed to the direction of the gravestone.
Her tears fell down on the ground, and she recalled many words.
“I’d prefer that Shen’s Company is destroyed and I confess to my husband after I die! I don’t need mercy from enemies!”

“According to my investigation, your dad died due to an accident. The court will sentence her some monetary compensation even though you insist on finding out her responsibility.”
“Qingkong, you will never understand the meaning of the baby to me.”
…
Shen Qingkong went to the hospital by taking a taxi.
She walked into the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department. With a face as pale as a piece of paper, she said firmly, “Please arrange an induced abortion operation for me now!”

Ebony Chitin - Eclipse
Richard Adams is something of a talented alchemist. One of the few magical professions that have anything to do with some kind of science. Everything was going swimmingly, until the 'cold night' incident happened. With it being determined as his fault, that such a thing happened. He was promptly exiled until he could return to Eclipse with a new 'discovery' for his field. What he didn't expect; was that he'd run into a strange humanoid monster that could seemingly heal any life threatening wound in a matter of seconds. Certainly this would be what he needs to become a master alchemist. The first step on a multi series journey. Please excuse the earliest chapters and their poor grammer. Ebony Chitin follows Richard Adams, and Mimi on their Journey to understand each other and the world around them. Due the the exploratory nature of such a claim, it will cover many different topics. This was my first attempt at actually writing a story, and because of that I will not edit it. I'd suggest reading the second part as it comes out as most of the things within this book will be recapped. Though if it becomes popular I hope it might inspire some of you readers to write your own stories. Cover Art by Rose Dragon

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
