Chapter 135 Edelweiss' Wrath
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56With Edelweiss' ferocity, she could easily take down three people herself. More so, since the thief was merely a petty hoodlum who knew nothing other than to cheat and lie.
But the crowd of onlookers witnessed only how Edelweiss had pummeled the thief; they did not know that he had tried to steal her purse. With all of them being none the wiser, they wilfully made a report to the police and Edelweiss, together with the thief, were arrested and brought to Zheng Shuang's station.
As the clock slowly ticked in the interrogation room, the officer-in-charge's questioning was hardly helped by Edelweiss' restlessness as she was worried about my dinner instead of trying to cooperate. Reluctantly, she merely responded during the interrogation with angered snorts and disdainful chuckles.
What should have been a simple inquiry turned into a lengthy wrangle no thanks to Edelweiss' poor attitude and the accusation by the thief that she carried a knife. T

The farmer would have thought this would have been a trivial case of just keeping his chickens safe from predators and the encounter with the weasel might discourage the beast from having second thoughts about his chickens ever again. But in the second morning when he woke up, his fields were covered with litters of bricks and roof tiles! Still wearing his trademarked blank and dull expression as he listened intently, Chongxi merely responded with a blunt and short "oh" when the farmer's tale reached its end. He peered at his future mother-in-law and the farmer. "Which sort of fertilizers do you use at the farm?" he asked quietly. Puzzled by his question, the farmer blabbered, "Manure from horses and mules, of course!" Chongxi chuckled viciously. He whispered into the farmer's ears who nodded, taking in everything he said and gave the farmer a name card, telling him to place another call to us; we would accept the case. Chongxi then declined the offer of an upfront pay
Once Upon a Time Chapter 137 Wile for a Weasel
With great effort and time, we finally managed to recover Aunt Ulan's soul and saved her before returning from Inner Mongolia. It was in this journey that I had had the chance to know another of Father's former paramours, who later became my Godmother. My life was nearly lost during an avalanche when I was thrown off a cliff and Edelweiss leaped into certain death after me. Thanks to Godmother's magic, we were both alive although Godmother was initially perturbed when she found out I was the progeny of Murong Hai after saving us. Fortunately, all's well that ends well was true. Godmother eventually joined us in the rescue of Aunt Ulan. What was more, the avalanche had also broken the ice between Edelweiss and I that we were now lovers. In a conversation with Godmother, I later discovered the true reason Father had refused his ascension into the Heavens: it was the disappearance of the Dragon-slaying Blade which was once possessed by Bian Das

From the sound of it, Yuanyuan and her friend could hear that we were going to help with a client about some spooky cases, and they agreed to help us. Chongxi was already pestering us to get a move on even as we barely finished lunch. He was anxious to meet the farmer, this being the first time he had handled a case by himself. The farmer had already completed his work of flipping the fertilizers into the ground when we reached his fields. He immediately tossed his cigarette to the ground and grounded it with his boot when he saw us stopping the car and got up to his feet, walking towards us with brisk steps. He was in good spirits; offering each of us a cigarette while thanking us, "What a tall order you've accomplished indeed! You guys are the real deal!" Real, of course, I mused wryly, we are as real as it gets. Chongxi chuckled gleefully, extremely pleased at himself, "Don't mention it! It's just a simple task for us!" I breathed and exh
Once Upon a Time Chapter 139 Night's Errand
As our car crunched along the way out of Wu Zhong, Yuanyuan began a delivery about her hometown Linnancangzhen Town like a tour guide. It was in the 1970s when the township of Linnancangzhen Town started a mining company to quarry coal, an operation that would continue for decades until 2016. Everything was fine when the mining operations began. But years passed and residents in the vicinity began to observe cracks slowly appearing around their houses. No one realized that the tremors from the mining operations were the cause of the damages to the residents' houses, until the buildings around the quarry were toppling down with devastating alacrity. The cracks began to spread and grow like ivy and webs on a wall and the residents began to fear the worst. My mind slowly drifted away as Yuanyuan rambled on about the residents' ardent pursuit for their interests and compensation. Instead, my thoughts closed in on the area which the ground had sunk.

With my Spirit Sight, I could see the thick tendrils of foul aura curling around the demon. It must be at least centuries old like Godmother. But why did it surrendered itself as soon as it saw us, behaving so meek like a sheep? In anyhow, I would gladly choose to talk rather fight any day. Feigning arrogant magnanimity, I heaved a puff from my cigarette, and stared down at it. "Enough fretting," I said, with all the frostiness I could muster, "Speak up. What are you and what evil have you wrought? I'd have no lies from you!" My cold and steely voice sent a chill down the monster's spine. It looked even more fearful than before as if Death was lurking from behind every syllable I uttered. Its lips quivered as it struggled to summon the courage to speak, until he spoke at last, "Er... Er... P-please! H-have mercy on me!" The monster's courage was no better than its hideous looks, I mused. Then I smiled and said, "Very well, mercy it is, for now," I added quietly, trying

The howls of the Forest Sprite were unbearable. Anyone walking past the Center outside would surely be frightened by its ghastly voice. We waited for minutes as the Sprite continued weeping before it realized that we were staring at it. It choked back a sob. "I was alone after my sibling was killed. Somehow the floods of the river only occur once a year since then. I could only wait for 12 months before I was able to absorb any more energy. Then came three years which persisted without a flood. I was famished and became worried. The river could be drying up at any moment. With my survival at stake, I had to flee from the river. My chance came when a heavy storm battered the town of Yahong Bridge and I took off under cover of the night and returned to the lake. The lake was as miserable as when we left it, if not worst. But there was still plenty of water there in the reed-infested mere. I could no longer hope to be able to absorb any more vitality from humans, but I mi
Once Upon a Time Chapter 142 Zero Remorse
Lin Feng was already up, working on his combat skills training when I reached the Center. If he had noticed me coming in, he certainly made no sign of it. His passion for training was equaled only by Chongxi's compulsion for food. I went straight upstairs and delivered a kick into the bum of a Chongxi who was still salivating into his pillow in his sleep. "Come on, get up! It's time for your workout!" Chongxi spun in his bed, rubbing his behind painfully. "What are you talking about... Sleeping's... fine..." I looked down at Chongxi, exasperated beyond words. Oh, what a troublesome one this is, I mused, we had already agreed to take a look at the weasels today! Then a wicked idea came to me. I walked to the door. Just before walking out, I feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Yo, Xiao Yu? What brings you here so early in the morning?" Immediately a thud came from behind. I turned and saw Chongxi almost finishing dressing up, looking completely wide-awake!
Once Upon a Time Chapter 143 Plans for New Year's Eve
Now that Lin Feng had mentioned this, only then I remembered that I had spoken to Xiao Yu's mother two days ago! It was the time we make some plans with Chongxi about this. Lin Feng noticed my look and sniggered. The waiter came with our beer and we ordered three bowls of Laba congee. "How about a New Year's Eve dinner?" he suggested when the waiter spun and left, "We can get everyone together. Xiao Yu and her mother, Chongxi and his teacher, my parents with Yuanyuan's parents, and of course, your parents and Edelweiss! All three of us together, and we'll settle the matters in one go!" This was one of the few times that I could not help but admire Lin Feng. As the elder member of our trio, he has always exhibited a reassuring and comforting presence by helping us plan everything ahead for us and giving us his support and help. He had never ceased to be a person we could count on. "All right then, Brother! We'll do it your way! Let's us get on tonight!" An
