Chapter 27: Bride Kidnapping "Your Majesty, King Charles, I am deeply honored to be granted an audience. The reason I have come before you today is to report that I have come of age, become independent, and have recently taken a bride."

Chapter 27: Drunkenness and Debauchery That persistent woman, seeing that Mu Chuang didn't resist Lin Xi's closeness, started scheming again, determined not to let tonight's efforts be in vain. However, Lin Xi didn't agree with her, feeling that leaving Mu Chuang alone here wasn't a wise move. "No need," he refused. "I believe Chuang-ge can walk on his own, right? Chuang-ge?"

Chapter 26: Mu Chuang Hits Someone Mu Chuang naturally brought Lin Xi along, offering a small gift. Then came Liang Ting's other fellow villagers—a married couple, and two middle-aged women who also arrived. A spacious table was sparsely occupied by eight people, yet the dishes were abundant, seemingly without regard to cost. "Good thing I didn't choose this woman.

## Chapter 25: Tunnel Construction This marks the end of Toma's childhood. The surveying revealed the tunnel's length to be 1200 meters. Even in modern Japan, this wouldn't be a simple task, although not an insurmountable one. What gave those working on the project here the confidence to complete it was the poles planted on the Lean Ridge. Before starting the tunnel's trial excavation, I hammered many poles into the ground. I showed them that if the poles were placed so that they appeared…

Chapter 25: Mu Chuang Distances Himself from Lin Xi Chapter 25: Mu Chuang Distances Himself from Lin Xi He lowered his head, sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to Mu Chuang, his heart so tense it felt like it was about to snap. His mind was buzzing. At this point, even if someone lost their temper at him, he probably wouldn't react. Mu Chuang was utterly confused by him. Although he had some guesses, he couldn't be sure. Lin Xi didn't speak, and he didn't press him further. The room fell…

Chapter 24: Killing and Humiliating Lin Xi thought that was the end of it, but he didn't expect Mu Chuang to act as if he was addicted to seeing him trying on clothes, and took him to the store next door to get two more sets. Not to mention Lin Xi, even Fu Xiaoling was dumbfounded— Being so generous, does he really not know what I'm thinking in my heart? But the truth is, Mu Chuang really doesn't know. He only knows that Lin Xi looks good in them, and he wants to buy them for him. As for the money,…

Chapter 23: Distressed Qi Qi "It's good that she's not going," Mu Chuang replied. "Having her along would be so slow. She takes forever to pick something and never ends up with anything good." Fu Xiaoling chuckled secretly behind them, and Lin Xi became even more convinced that Mu Chuang had chosen this woman. Because he could clearly see Fu Xiaoling's reaction in the rearview mirror. "Okay, let's go then." He became an observer, feeling heavy-hearted, only hoping not to be found out by the two of…
