This can't be! Where are the people? Where is everyone!?
Qing Yue looked at the black body of water and dazedly drifted towards it, her blank mind unable to process anything further. Then her nostrils flared as the scent of blood and sweat overwhelmed her senses.
"Blood...? Is it mine?"
She looked at her hands, but no...
The scent was coming from the body of black water...
"Why would a nice, clean sea of water smell like blood?"
She moved closer and stared into the black water, her mind jolting at what her eyes perceived. she blinked and saw...
It was nothing more than a sea of black water...then what had she seen awhile ago?
Qing Yue could've sworn she saw an eye!
It was a giant eye smeared with various vein-like throbbing bloodlines.
But the disturbing part wasn't the veins.
It was how the intersecting veins resembled the waterlines of the New World Formation?

"No, Tian Tian! I'll meet you within the hour! Kay? Love you!" Blowing the man a kiss, Lu Jin disconnected the call. As she looked at the black bracket on her wrist, a lost look appeared in the woman's eyes. "Was that Long Tian?" A deep, gruff, male voice sounded from the other side of the room, causing her to startle out of her thoughts. Forcing a stiff smile on her face, Lu Jin turned and looked at the naked man lying on her bed. "Hmm. It was Long Tian. He wants me to meet him at the Disco Club." Walking into the walk-in closet, she opened her wardrobe and withdrew a change of clothes. "What does he want? It can't be...?" "Can't be what?" "It can't be he wants to take you home, right?" When Lu Jin heard these words, her heart thumped in her chest. Long Tian was going to take her to the Long Mansion? He was going to introduce her to his parents? Her eyes brightened and a sweet smile spread across her lips that
Thrilling Storm Long Tian 2
A man like Long Tian was one in a million. And in the New World Formation where the cost of living was sky-high, having a relationship with the son of the Great Commander was tantamount to securing a cash cow. There were many instances where Lu Jin felt tempted to dump Gu Yan and cling onto the money-bags Long Tian. But she stomped on the impulse before it could take control of her mind. If she ditched Gu Yan to chase after Long Tian, then Gu Yan wouldn't spare her. He would ruin her career and ruin her image in Long Tian's eyes. Not only would he expose how she'd only approached him for his money. He would also embellish their love affair while she dated him. By then, let alone Long Tian, even the luxurious life and status she enjoyed as Long Tian's girlfriend would be gone. No...I can't lose this status...but I also want the man, Long Tian. Gu Yan, you can only blame yourself for sending me to Long Tian's side... A malicious

"I'll try. But Lu Jin, don't have too much hope. My father is a Commander in and out. His words and his decisions never change. If he promised his friend to accept his daughter as a daughter-in-law, then there's no way he'd change his mind." "It's fine, Tian Tian. I want to at least try convincing him to accept us. It's better than the family falling apart." She nodded tearfully. "Okay. I'll try to convince him. If he doesn't accept, we'll get married in court, okay? Now, stop crying." "Hmm! Tian Tian, I trust you. It's a little late and I'm a bit tired. If that's all you wanted to say, then can we leave now?" "If you're tired, then we'll leave. Come, I'll drop you home." Pushing out of his seat, Long Tian pulled Lu Jin to her feet and handed her her purse. "Thank you, Tian Tian." "Hmm! Let's go." Walking side by side, the two exited the Disco Club and entered the Open-Air Parking Lot. Riiiiiiinng! Right at this

"Long Tian, I...I was forced! He forced me!" Lu Jin never expected one careless action on her part would reveal her truth to Long Tian. Not only that, but he also heard how she and Gu Yan were playing him! Was she going to lose Long Tian and the status of Madam Long? No! She wouldn't allow herself to fall from grace so easily! Her eyes gleamed with a fierce light and she shot a glance at Gu Yan. Then steeling herself, she covered her eyes and began bawling like it was the end of the world. "Waaahhh! Tian Tian, Tian Tian! Listen to me! Please, just listen to me! He forced me! He really forced me!" She could only throw the dirty water on Gu Yan and hope the man understood her intention. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any way to salvage the situation... Unfortunately, Gu Yan wasn't on the same wavelength as her. He turned to the bubbling woman with an astonished expression on his face and when he heard her words, he broke into a tow

Qing Yue woke at first light and entered the washroom. "Light." The lights came on at the sound of her voice. She undressed and walked towards the automatic showers. On sensing her figure, the shower immediately came on and the temperature of the water adjusted to her body heat. "Brush." A toothbrush floated towards her and Qing Yue opened her mouth, allowing the machine to clean her teeth as she showered. Her long hair was difficult to wash, the thick, sleek strands sticking to her body as the showerhead squirted shampoo and conditioner. But Qing Yue had enough practice. She gathered them together and rubbed thoroughly before she wrung them out and rinsed. The automatic brush cleaned every corner of her teeth, bending and stretching as it scrubbed the back teeth and the top ones. Once it was done, a flush replaced it and dispersed lavender mouthwash. Qing Yue closed her mouth and gurgled before spitting the mouthwash and setting out o
Thrilling Storm Family Gathering 2
"Hello, Aunt Hong." Qing Yue embarrassedly greeted, baffled at the unexpected warmth of the other. She hadn't even seen the woman once in the past five years, so where did the deep love and affection come from? Was she going through a phase? "Little Qing Qing, you met your Aunt Hong. Aren't you going to meet your Aunt Si?" "Why just Aunt Si? Aunt Mei is here as well." "Your Aunt Gu..." "Let Aunt Rui see..." What's going on? Why are these Aunts more enthusiastic today than my previous birthdays? Is the 18th birthday really that special? Suddenly surrounded by a flock of fawning and over-affectionate aunts, Qing Yue felt her head spin from the mixture of perfumes and noisy chatter. "Alright, alright. Stop crowding the kid, will you? Qing Qing, come to Uncle Wei. Otherwise, your Aunts will suffocate you to death." At this time, the gruff voice of a laughing middle-aged man resounded from the far end of the hall.

Li Chen froze on hearing his daughter's faint call. His heart thumped in excitement and his frosty expression melted a smudge. Looking at Qing Yue, he gently nodded. "You've already met your Aunts and Uncles. Why don't you meet your cousins now?" He stepped to the side and went to sit with his brothers. Qing Yue looked at her Dad's side profile and smiled. It felt familiar, good to call him Dad. "Qing Qing, what took you so long? Come, let's go to the Sitting Room and chat." Yan Su grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the sitting room. The other ignored cousins exchanged glances and followed. "Hold on, we're coming!" "Brother Heng, Brother Mu, I'll come along as well." Yei Yi saw her targets and stood. Bowing to Uncle Wang and the others, she elegantly walked out of the Main Hall before chasing after the two men. Qing Yue, Li Wei, and Yan Su sat on the same couch as Yan Bi and the Li cousins sat on a separate

"Xiao Yi, don't mind Li Mu's attitude. He is usually like this." Li Heng said. "Brother Heng, don't worry. I don't mind Brother Wu's behavior." Yei Yi smiled brightly, but her eyes still swirled with tears of grievance that made Li Heng feel guilty. He had failed to remember her too... "Look, just look at her! We all know Brother Mu isn't the extrovert type, and yet, she still tried to rope him into her melodrama. She's using him as a bridge to rope in Brother Heng!" "Yan Su, can we not talk about Yei Yi's affairs? What did you get me for my birthday?" "Qing Qing, I know you're trying to change the topic, but please be careful around her." Yan Su dejectedly leaned back on the couch, helpless and clueless on how to alert her cousin to the danger roaming around her. No matter what she said or how she said it, Qing Yue failed to see what she saw... "Mistress, Master sent me to inform you breakfast is served. Your presence is requi

Apology 4
At this moment, Long Tian wasn't feeling well. He believed in his wife's abilities and sensed she probably created a new record from the eager expressions of the group in the office. But this made him keenly aware of their impending separation. The fact that the woman responsible for his current state of mind was unaware of his misery only made the matter worse. 'Yue'er doesn't understand my fears and apprehensions. There's nothing I can do to convince her to return to the Long Mansion with me...' Brimming with frustration and helplessness, Long Tian pushed his wife to the only desk in the room and faced the group of eight. "Young...Young Master Long, we..." "You must be from the Board of Education and the Department of Education. We don't have all day. So make this quick." The expressions of the eight individuals turned ugly. They didn't expect Young Master Long to be so overbearing and dismissive of them. Even though it was said they came to apologize for the two education de

Apology 3
Early the next morning, after completing her regular treatment, Qing Yue began packing. Swishh! "Young Madam, these are your seasonal clothes and your uniform. I already packed and transferred your undergarments and bathroom necessities." The RoboCare spun to a stop before her. "Thank you..." Qing Yue named all the RoboCares and daily helping bots at Li Mansion. However, the ones at Long Mansion didn't seem to have a name. She didn't want to take it upon herself to name the care bots that helped her and Long Tian alone. But bringing up the topic to the man was a little...embarrassing. Stuck in an impasse, she had no choice but to postpone the matter. 'I'll bring it up to Long Tian after I return.' "Yue'er, the University called. Your results are out and we need to leave now." Long Tian's deep, magnetic voice resounded from the room and caused her to tense. Qing Yue looked around the walk-in closet and hesitated. 'He...he won't like this.' She sighed, steeled her heart, and wh

'What was that?' Qing Yue's eyes clouded as she recalled what she saw. The fact that she was having a nightmare even during the daytime now didn't bother her as much as the scene that followed the descent of the acid rain. "Li Feng, what's going on?" She asked through their mind link. "Saintess, there's not much time. You need to leave this Long Mansion to become strong enough to face the future. At the moment, that's all I can tell you. The rest depends on you and your decision." Li Feng sighed. What's to come will come. The only difference will be how you will face it. Saintess, everything is in your hands now. Qing Yue absentmindedly gazed at her clenched hands, her mind repeating the words of the spirit. 'Not much time? So that horrid image...' She shivered when the image resurfaced in her mind again. She didn't have much time, that much she understood. She raised her head and held her husband's gaze. "Yue'er, what's wrong?" Long Tian felt unsettled. He had never seen such

With her exam out of the way, Qing Yue felt more relaxed.She left the white room in a good mood and found her husband."Done?""Um! I'm done. Long Tian, I...I want to live on campus." Qing Yue didn't have the confidence to bring up this topic before. But now that she knew there would not be any problem with her admission, she decided to break this news to her husband.It was time for her to experience life outside of her father and her husband's shelter."Live on Campus!? Yue'er...you!" Long Tian was caught off guard.He wasn't expecting to hear something like this from his wife. They had only become close recently. He was looking forward to spending more time with her to deepen their bond.But she wanted to live on campus? Did she not like his advances?At this thought, Long Tian became nervous.He didn't want his wife to live outside of Long Mansion because of his actions."Yue'er, is it...is it because o

Re-Examination 2
Early the next morning, Qing Yue stood before the bathroom mirror with a shocked expression on her face. "Li Feng, am I dreaming? How is this possible?" Aside from the first day, she hadn't looked at herself in the mirror after her accident. But this was beyond astonishing, alright? It hasn't even been a full month before her discharge! "Congratulations, Saintess. You've recovered your original appearance." Li Feng's voice was filled with amusement, causing Qing Yue to return to her senses. "Haha! A week! It only took me a week to recover my original appearance!" The entire situation felt surreal. Even after looking at herself in the mirror for two whole hours, Qing Yue was not able to believe her eyes. "Li Feng, how is this possible? My face was horrendous! So hideous that even ten plastic surgeries wouldn't have helped me. So how...?" If the doctors who had told her she'd be disfigured for life saw her at this moment, she was certain they'd faint from a heart attack. Qing Yue he

Re-Examination 1
Long Tian's dark gaze alarmed Qing Yue. She stiffly smiled and tried to ignore the heat from her lips. But the close proximity to her husband made the task difficult. What's more, with their foreheads pressed together and their noses rubbing against each other, the two of them were practically sharing breath! "Brother...Tian...I'm done. I...I'm sleepy." Not really. But at this point, Qing Yue would say anything to escape Long Tian's predatory gaze. "You're sleepy?" Long Tian skeptically asked. "Yes. I...I'm really sleepy. The nap earlier wasn't enough." "Hmm...I'll help you to bed, then." Though he was disappointed, Long Tian tried not to show it. He understood his wife was alarmed by his sudden advances. But thinking of the fact that they were husband and wife, his heart relaxed and he relented with a gentle smile. They had all their life to know each other and develop their relationship. Long Tian was confident that with time

First Kiss 2
"Brother Tian..." "Shhh...Yue'er, didn't you say I'll have to carry you in my arms or sat you on my lap before? Today, Brother Tian will sit you on his lap." "Huh?" What the he**! What was going on!? Qing Yue felt her head spin. Everything became too confusing and overwhelming. "Why? You don't want to?" Long Tian paused and peered down at her. Though his face remained cold and neutral, since she was pressed against his chest, Qing Yue felt his body tense. This made her feel at a loss on what to say. The idea of sitting...on his lap was too abrupt and sudden. But Qing Yue didn't want to hurt her husband. She knew he wouldn't hurt or harm her. And after what happened earlier, was there a need for her to feel embarrassed? "Brother Tian, it's not that. I'm just a little shy." She admitted it. "Yue'er, don't be shy. We're husband and wife." The tense muscles in Long Tian's body relaxed and a smile stretched across hi

First Kiss 1
Long Tian felt hot and overwhelmed. The sudden surge of intense emotions sent silent tremors coursing through his body. He inadvertently groaned against his wife's delicate lips, the deep throaty sound causing Qing Yue to shiver. Sensing her reaction, his tongue slithered out and traced her lush lips, before insistently pushing on them. Qing Yue hesitated for a second. Her mind was muddled with the pleasure of his kiss, but she could perceive his intention through his action. He wanted her to open her lips. But she could also sense he was giving her the choice to refuse by not putting much force on his relentless tongue. This silent display of respect touched her. As a husband, Long Tian took care of her without complaint. He protected her and treated her with kindness and respect. He even took action to fulfill the dream she thought would forever be buried in her heart. Besides, she still had bandages covering her face, and ye

"This...Tian Tian, I understand how you must feel, but...you can't allow your feelings to control you. Why don..." "Uncle Yi Ming, set up the re-examination. I believe in Yue'er." Long Tian's cold voice and frosty eyes immediately silenced Yi Ming. "Call me when the re-examination date is fixed." Yi Ming nodded, still too stunned to speak. He watched in a daze as his nephew got up and pushed his wife out of the office. Bang! "Da**! Long Tian, you're truly out of your mind!" Returning to his senses, Yi Ming roared and pushed to his feet. However, his agitated cry only resounded in the silent room. The two individuals had left long ago. "Da**! This rotten nephew! He's bent on shaming me before the entire board of education directors. Let his wife retake the exam in front of them? Have them apologize to her? Is he blinded by the girl's charms?" Yi Ming was certain his nephew had lost his mind. There was no other reas
