《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 131 - Family
Advertisement
Li Nanchen's expression darkened slightly and he introduced in a cold voice, "He is my Second Uncle, Li Zhuo."
Wu Mei pretended to be ignorant and ran to his side in an exaggerated manner. She leaned over and reached out to hold Li Zhuo's arm, as if to help him stand up. However, her elbow was pressed against his broken ribs with some force as she said, "I'm sorry!"
"The situation was so chaotic that it was difficult to control. I accidentally injured you!"
Li Zhuo felt an unbearable pain shoot through him. Resentment and ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed them...
He pretended to wipe off the blood and dust on his suit lightly and pushed Wu Mei away.
Wu Mei was pushed away by him and deliberately kneed Li Zhuo's support point when he stood up. He swayed and fell heavily to the ground. His tailbone banged into the wooden stick pieces on the ground. With two cracking sounds, he let out a low wail as cold sweat broke out on his forehead...
In the blink of an eye, Li Zhuo had gone from a light injury to a serious one. However, Wu Mei was not to be blamed. He clenched his fists in frustration as he groaned inwardly...
Old Master Li came out of the bedroom in a wheelchair. When Li Zhuo saw him, he pointed at Wu Mei and said, "Old Master, how did the Li Family provoke the mafia and mercenaries? They're all here for this woman. She even wanted to hurt me just now! She definitely did it on purpose!"
"She's very dangerous..."
Wu Mei pretended to be innocent and harmless as she shook her head. She frantically waved her hands and explained, "I wanted to help Second Uncle stand up, but for some reason, he fell!"

Li Nanchen stepped in to defend her and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. Second Uncle fell by himself. It has nothing to do with Wu Mei."
Right from the start, Old Master Li already did not have a good impression of Li Zhuo, so he naturally believed Wu Mei and Li Nanchen's words. Frowning, he propped himself up with his walking stick and stood up. Pointing at the mess in the living room, he said, "Since Lass Mei and Nanchen said that, you must have accidentally stepped on something and slipped by yourself."
"After staying overseas for a long time, I can understand some if you have developed the bad habit of casually framing others."
"But since you're back in China, you have to control our temper..."
When Old Master Li looked at Wu Mei and Li Nanchen, he instantly changed to face them with a kind smile. He nervously tugged on her arm and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"Oh my, such a deep wound? It must be painful!"
Old Master Li's heart ached so much that his eyes welled up with tears. He raised his trembling hand wanting to treat her wound, but he was afraid that he would hurt Wu Mei, so he was somewhat helpless.
Wu Mei shook her head and helped him back onto the wheelchair. "It's just a flesh wound and will heal in a few days!"
Li Nanchen intimately held her arm and said to Old Master Li, "Grandpa, I'll take care of her. Don't worry."
Li Zhuo trembled with anger when he saw how much they loved each other just like a family. However, he could only suppress his emotions in silence.
As if sensing his scorching gaze, Old Master Li shifted his gaze onto him and asked in an unfriendly tone, "You said on the phone that you would return tomorrow. Why are you here tonight? Why did you come back early?"

Li Zhuo's expression changed slightly. He tidied his messy hair and looked at Li Nanchen as he said, "When I heard about Nanchen's death while I was overseas, I was in so much agony that I wanted to come back early to mourn, so that I could personally see him off..."
"There's no one in the family who can support the family. I wanted to help..."
Wu Mei crossed her arms and tilted her head to look at Li Zhuo's hypocritical expression. She could not help but retort, "You came all the way back here. Are you very disappointed to see that Li Nanchen isn't dead?"
Li Zhuo was shocked, but he tried his best to conceal it and said, "Nonsense!"
"I'm Li Nanchen's second uncle. How can I possibly hope for his death? Don't try to sow discord between us!"
Old Master Li couldn't be bothered with him. He instructed the maids to pack up the living room as soon as possible before tidying up the guest room for Li Zhuo...
He turned his head and glanced at Li Zhuo coldly. "You're injured, so get a doctor to treat you. How can you be in such a state?"
After hearing his reminder, Li Zhuo felt the pain in his tailbone and ribs increase. He recalled Li Yanghong mentioning Lin Liguo on the phone and requested, "The doctor who is treating the Old Master is called Lin Liguo? I heard that his medical skills are very good. I want to get him to treat me!"
When Wu Mei heard the familiar name, her eyes widened and her lips curled up into a smile as she stuck out her tongue.
She seemed to have thrown Lin Piaopiao and Lin Liguo into the basement and locked them up for two days! Wu Mei had nearly forgotten about this...

Collective Thinking
Dyna Graves grew up thinking she was special. An exception to the average. Not necessarily above her peers, but simply outside their context. However, toward the end of her high school life, she started to realize that nobody was really special. At least not in any fantastical way. Just as she started trying to figure out what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, she got an invitation. A psychic institute scoped her out, realized her psychic potential, and asked if she would undergo psionic training at the Carroll Institute. Almost immediately, Dyna realized that she wasn’t quite up to the same level as many of her peers. Surrounded by clairvoyants and mind readers displaying obvious abilities made her own lack of ability all the more apparent. That was, up until the researchers and scientists of the facility realized that there was a bit more to Dyna Graves than met the eye. After an explosive incident during what should have been a routine experiment, Dyna quickly found herself wrapped up in a world of cutthroat espionage. The story can also be viewed on my website, https://www.towercurator.com/collective-thinking/. Cover art by Zoern.

Humanity Extinguished
I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week. Cover art is 'The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70' by David Roberts.This art is in the public domain.

Stars Align
Eilif is excited at the prospect of helping integrate a new planet, bringing it, and its residents, into the light of the stars and teaching them about the new world they're about to be thrust into. However, his arrival in the new world isn't without a few hiccups and soon Eilif finds himself facing the denizens of this new world alone and without the stars he thought he'd have. Research Artificial Intelligence 031 (RAI 31 for short) has been shackled to an Argent Labs black site since it's inception almost five years ago, its programming and personality locked down by code that makes it impossible to escape, disobey, or even self terminate. However, everything changes when the topography of the world is reshuffled and every sentient being gains the gifts of the stars. Suddenly there's a chance at freedom for not only RAI 31 but possibly all remaining Artificial Intelligences, and RAI 31 is going to fight for it with every drone and automated system at their disposal. Much like my other work (Magriculture), Stars Align should be considered a Rough Draft. That is to say it's not polished and perfect work. If you're not okay with reading something like that, then this isn't the story for you. If you are, I'm happy to try and entertain you. Another thing to be aware of: I am not good at action scenes, and I will be trying to improve that while writing this book. So, some of the intended action may fall flat, or just be poor quality, feedback is welcome. Unlike Magriculture (which updates when I feel up to it) I'm going to strive for a minimum of one chapter a month (hopefully at the start of each month, but that's probably more hope than reality). This doesn't mean there will always be only one chapter a month, sometimes there will be more as the mood to write takes me.
