Three peaceful days passed, and then Liang Feng accompanied me back to my family home for the traditional post-wedding visit. Father greeted us at the gate, but before long, he turned to Liang Feng and said, “Son-in-law, please wait in the back garden for a moment. I have some private words for my… daughter.” “Of course,” Liang Feng replied with his usual calm. As soon as he left, Father grabbed my ear and dragged me into his study. “Why is it you? Where’s your sister?” “She…-

It was early spring, and I, the proud heir of the Duke of Zhenhai, found myself dressed in a bridal gown, sitting in a flower-adorned sedan chair, being carried into the estate of Prince Liang. The one who was supposed to marry him was my older sister, but she had eloped with someone else. To cover for her, I reluctantly put on women's clothing and played the part. I waited from dusk till nightfall, but Prince Liang never came to my room. Hungry beyond belief, I sneaked out to the kitchen, where I…

Bai Mu continued to argue earnestly, but I shot a fierce glare at Lady Bai, which only earned her a sharp tug backward from Bai Mu’s father. "Enough. I’ll handle this," he said, stepping forward calmly. Turning his attention to me, his tone softened a bit. "Are these children truly yours and Bai Mu’s?" I instinctively took a step back, clutching the dragon eggs tighter, reluctant to trust him. "They are my children. They have nothing to do with you," I said coldly. "Nothing to do with us?" he…-

By now, he locked me inside the barrier, trapped but not neglected. He delivered three meals a day, always heavy with large fish and rich meats. I was eating quite well, but there was no way for me to leave. "When are you going to let me out?" I asked bluntly, wanting to hear what Bai Mu was really thinking. He sneered, pride shining in his eyes. "You still want to go out? From now on, you live here. When I feel like it, maybe I’ll consider letting you leave." "My precious Bai Mu, are you turning dark…

I found a picturesque spot in the human world, a tranquil mountain valley with crystal clear streams and lush greenery, and set up a protective barrier to claim it as my new dragon nest. Worried that Bai Mu, my little white dragon, might cause trouble or try to find me, I kept myself in human form and wandered subtly among the crowds of mortals. With so many people in the world, there was no way he could track me down in this lifetime. I cherished the five black eggs like priceless treasures, diligently…

By now, Bai Mu had grown so used to sleeping beside me every night that it seemed like the most natural thing in the world. When that day arrived his coming-of-age day I was confident he would fall completely under my spell. My precious Bai Mu, you are so handsome. I watched him with closed eyes, my heart swelling with satisfaction, not only with how he looked, but with how well my plan was unfolding. If my parents, now watching over us from the heavens, knew how clever I was, they would surely praise…

Efficient as ever, I decided to act immediately. After Bai Mu had his fill of fun, I brought him to a nearby tavern to eat and drink. Hidden in his cup were a few drops of a special knockout potion crafted only for dragons. When Bai Mu woke, his eyes widened with shock as he stared at me. "Qing Yao, what are you doing? What did you use to tie me up?" "The Mystic Binding Chains," I said with a smug smile, "How else do you expect to bind a dragon?" With a playful, proud tilt of my chin, I announced, "I…

THE TEAR OF GOD RA "I summoned you," she said softly. "I'm glad that you thought enough of me to come." He remained silent. It was the only thing that he could do. No one was supposed to have enough presence of mind, or of breath, even, when spoken to by the goddess, to reply unless expressly ordered to do so. "Enter. Don't be afraid." Then, reading his thought: "We'll forget all about what happened over in the pyramid." He suspected that she was lying, but he felt a certain sense of relief at…-

THE UNDERGROUND PALACE Menni, governor of the Royal Palace, still distraught, still more or less sick at heart, despite his well-known courage and resourcefulness, had accompanied the royal party back from the pyramid and, as usual when feeling like that, resolved to find comfort in work. There was plenty to do. Not since the days of the "great ones of Abydos," the founders of the empire, had the activities of "the one who lives at Memphis" achieved such a scale of magnificence.
