Miss Black Dragon Doesn't Want to Be a Mount

Xiya hesitated for a moment before accepting the letter still warm from the girl's body. Then she could not help saying, "Are you sure your race isn't succubi? Some of your behavior is way too lewd."

"Huh? This counts as lewd? You're just too conservative."

"You were clearly doing that on purpose."

"You can do it too."

"..."

Solani wore a mischievous smile. Fine, Xiya was certain she was deliberately teasing her. She would never do something so shameless.

Wasn't this girl just trying to show off how big her chest was?

Ignoring Solani's smug expression, Xiya opened the envelope and began reading the letter inside. She discovered that it had been written by Vidian to Solani, but its contents concerned Likaro.

So Likaro really was saved by that girl...

"Vidian asked me to notify the little girl's parents mentioned in the letter. I happened to hear that you saved the little girl's mother, so I came looking for you."

"Wait, no one knows about that. How did you find out?"

Xiya had already told Doris and Wilfen, who had returned from the Imperial City, not to reveal anything related to her.

"At Edafalon Cathedral. When the duke and duchess came to pray, I happened to overhear their conversation."

"Tch, you're the kind of person who eavesdrops on other people's private matters."

"Come on, I'm a nun. Isn't it perfectly normal to accidentally overhear something in a church?"

"What exactly are you trying to do by sneaking into a church and becoming a nun? Secretly drink other people's blood?"

"What? I just wanted to coast through life." Solani looked a little aggrieved. Then she suddenly stepped forward, pressing her chest tightly against Xiya's body before leaning close to her ear. "If I wanted blood, wouldn't a witch's blood taste even better?"

Xiya shoved her away. If they were not friends, she would have burned this vampire to ashes long ago.

"How boring. You're not even as fun as Sulana."

Solani brushed back her hair, then crouched down to look at Guoguo, who was lying on the ground. "Little wolf, why don't you like me?"

Guoguo simply turned its head away and ignored her.

Solani was deeply hurt by this. She glanced at Xiya, seemingly casually, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm not flat-chested."

"Get lost!"

A silver longsword appeared in Xiya's hand.

"Hey, is this trendy among magic users now? Fine, I'm done playing."

Solani hurriedly turned serious. She was afraid that if the joke continued, Xiya really would cut her down.

"Look, my hair is white just like Sulana's. Once Sulana can transform into a human, she can call me big sister."

"I'll have Sulana treat you as an enemy and chase after you to bite you every day."

"Hahaha, once she becomes human, she shouldn't bite people anymore. It's too inelegant." As she spoke, she took out another letter and handed it to Xiya. "This is a letter from the little girl to her parents. Help pass it along too. Don't peek, okay?"

"You think I'm like you?"

"I didn't peek either, all right!" Solani snorted. Remembering that she still had things to do, she prepared to leave. "I'm heading back first. I still have today's prayers to do."

"It's bad enough that a vampire like you is pretending to be a nun, and now you're talking about praying? What exactly do you pray for?"

"Don't say that. I'm a church-certified nun, you know."

"..."

"Besides, I pray to the Dark God."

"...You pray to the Dark God in the Light God's church?"

Xiya had only known that Solani was a nun in Edafalon before. This was the first time she learned that this girl actually did something like this.

"Hehe, it's not like anyone will find out."

"..."

If she were ever discovered, Solani would probably die a miserable death.

"I'll go notify Likaro's parents and give them the letter. They're worried too."

"Mm, then goodbye. I'll come find you and Sulana to play sometime."

"Don't come. I don't want to see you."

"Aw, how heartless~"

Solani's body gradually dissolved into mist before vanishing from Xiya's sight.

Xiya rubbed Guoguo's head. "Go play by yourself first. I'm heading to Edafalon."

"Awoo~"

Xiya went to the small cabin she had hidden among the trees, took off her witch's robe, and changed into a more ordinary set of women's clothes.

When she was in the city, she did not like her clothing to look too conspicuous.

I'm Really Not the Evil God's Lackey

======Synopsis=====

A transmigrator named Lin Jie ran a bookstore.

He was kind and enthusiastic, always recommending books that healed the soul to guests who had fallen on hard times. Occasionally, he also promoted his own humble works.

Over time, these guests came to respect him deeply. Every day, they brought him simple local specialties in repayment, sought his advice on reading recommendations, and told people around them about the deeds of this ordinary bookstore owner.

They respectfully and affectionately called him—

"Evil God's Hound," "Herald of the Gospel of Flesh," "Author of the Corpse-Eating Rite," "Shepherd of the Stars."

"???"

Childhood Friend: Northern Frontier Situation

Edafalon City survived the monster attack, but the entire city had suffered extensive damage. Many people had fled, and the army responsible for defending the city had suffered grievous losses. Even its commander had died in battle.

But after paying such a heavy price, the monsters in the city were finally wiped out. Duke Wilfen, who had been attending a meeting in the Imperial City, also returned in time and began directing the city's reconstruction.

Doris, who had previously been attacked in a forest far from Edafalon, survived. Those scouts from enemy nations recognized that she was a noble, but they apparently had no intention of taking her prisoner. Just as Doris was about to be killed, a girl who suddenly appeared saved her with magic.

Although her life had been spared, Doris was most worried about her daughter. These past few days, she had blamed herself terribly. She had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.

Her daughter had run off somewhere. What if she got lost in the forest...

Bang!

The door suddenly flew open, and Wilfen staggered inside. It was the first time this man had ever lost his composure so completely, but it was clear how excited he was.

"The benefactor who saved you has come. She also brought news of Likaro."

"Where is she?!"

"Read this letter first."

Wilfen handed the letter their daughter had written for him and his wife to Doris. Although the handwriting was not their daughter's, it conveyed their daughter's intentions.

The letter roughly said that Likaro told her father and mother not to worry. She had been saved by a kind older sister and would be sent home after resting for a few days, though it was inconvenient to reveal her location.

Since Xiya had delivered the letter, it could be trusted.

"Don't worry. The one who saved Likaro is my friend. She's very reliable."

Xiya had appeared by the doorway at some point.

"Thank you for bringing this letter, Miss Witch. Is there anything you want?"

"I don't want anything. That's all."

After saying that, Xiya turned and left. She did not particularly like staying in a place like this.

"This..."

Wilfen and Doris exchanged a glance. Neither of them knew how they could express their gratitude.

No matter what, Wilfen now owed Xiya a tremendous favor. She had saved his wife, and her friend had saved his daughter. If Xiya had asked him to hand over all his wealth at that moment, he would have agreed without hesitation.

But Xiya wanted neither wealth nor fame, leaving Wilfen at a loss.

Wilfen escorted Xiya outside the estate, where she told him that this was far enough.

Only after the witch's figure disappeared from sight did Wilfen return and embrace his wife.

"Darling, it's truly wonderful that our daughter is safe..."

Doris clung tightly to Wilfen. The heart she had kept hanging in suspense for the past few days could finally settle. She began to sob softly, but these were tears of joy.

"Mm, as long as she's safe..."

Wilfen did not cry like his wife. His emotions rarely showed on his face, but those who understood him could grasp what he felt inside.

Now, he could finally direct the city's reconstruction with peace of mind and wait for his daughter's return.

Imperial City of the Empire. Emperor Pete personally visited the Imperial Magic Academy and found the academy's dean.

The magic scholars were working at full force to study the Teleportation Arrays that had appeared in cities across the Empire. What had happened previously was completely beyond their understanding, and they had to determine exactly how the Teleportation Arrays operated.

Pete arrived just as their research produced results. Investigations conducted across the regions revealed that these Teleportation Arrays had been preconfigured, with the materials supplying their power buried around them. Once the Teleportation Array in the Southern Wilderness activated, someone had controlled the activation of the portals in every city of the Empire.

This meant there was a traitor within the Empire. But who possessed the ability to secretly arrange Teleportation Arrays in every Imperial city?

Pete felt it was time to thoroughly investigate the Empire's internal affairs. If there was a traitor, they had to be rooted out. He also believed that an operation as large as setting up the Teleportation Arrays would definitely have left behind some clues.

But this was not the only problem they faced. There was also the war in the Northern Frontier.

That very morning, Pete had received news that gave him a headache. The Northern Frontier Legion's legend of invincibility had been shattered, though the weather had played a major role in it...

It was already deep winter, the harshest time of the year in the Northern Frontier. Unlike the other regions of the Empire, the Northern Frontier had its own unique climate disasters.

Just as sandstorms swept through deserts, the constant freezing winds in the Northern Frontier drove the ice elements in the air into a frenzied state, causing them to gather. Once enough had accumulated, they formed terrifying blizzards.

Anyone swept into such a storm found it difficult to survive. Every fortress of the Northern Frontier Legion had mana-powered storm diversion devices installed, capable of changing a blizzard's path before it arrived.

But perhaps this year's blizzard had been too powerful, rendering the storm diversion devices ineffective. As a result, the elite Imperial soldiers in one fortress suffered devastating casualties. Although some took shelter inside sturdy buildings, the blizzard came too quickly and too fiercely, sweeping away many soldiers who had no time to react.

By sheer coincidence, the blizzard's path did not pass through the Five-Nation Alliance's military camp. Instead, after ravaging the fortress, it headed elsewhere.

The moment the blizzard passed, the Five-Nation Alliance immediately began their siege.

The attacking forces did not use heavy siege equipment. Instead, they used ladders to climb the walls, apparently unwilling to damage the walls' defensive functions.

The fortress garrison had been severely damaged by the blizzard and could not resist the enemy at all. Before reinforcements from the Empire's other fortresses arrived, the fortress had already fallen.

This created a gap in the Northern Frontier's defensive line. Since the Imperial army had rushed to provide aid with light equipment and had brought no siege weapons, they could not attack the enemy troops that had already occupied the fortress. They could only send part of their forces to establish a camp behind the fortress, preventing further threats to the Empire's heartland.

The good news was that the Empire had already assembled forces in other provinces. However, because those provinces had suffered severe losses in the earlier monster attacks, they could not field many troops in the short term.

At the same time, supplies in the Northern Frontier were beginning to run short, so the Northern Frontier Legion adopted a defensive stance as much as possible while waiting for logistical supplies to arrive.

Once supplies were replenished and reinforcements arrived, the Imperial army would launch an offensive and drive the invading enemy back.

Then would come the full-scale war between the Empire and the Five-Nation Alliance. The Empire's war machine would begin to turn, gathering troops from across the nation to attack the Five-Nation Alliance, invade their capitals, and establish a new order.

At the same time, they would settle accounts for the damage the Five-Nation Alliance had inflicted upon the Empire.

So, Starting Today, I'll Become the Creation God

Ge Yuan transmigrated to another world.

This other world was barren, silent, and empty. Ge Yuan gained divine power sufficient to alter and create everything. If he exhausted his divine power, he would die and be reborn from the earth.

He died three times, and the cycle repeated.

At first, after discovering that he could not die, Ge Yuan merely wanted to create someone who could accompany him. But as time passed, countless trees rose from the ground, civilization flourished and developed, and Ge Yuan changed his mind—

The vile Creation God toyed with mortals. Great Light was the Creation God's most devout believer, while Mother of Beasts' flesh cursed all things. This was the most vile Creation God. To a deity, the world was nothing more than an interesting toy.
