Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

Beauty and the Beasts: A Mother's Unearthly Gift

In the dark, under a strange-looking tree, a lady around twenty-something could be seen clenching her stomach and looking pitiful. She seemed to be in pain and was breathing heavily. Above her in the sky, the color was very black and blurry. Rain started falling, and the thunder was clapping loudly and violently. The wind was very thick, slapping everything harshly. The lady stood with the support of the tree, using one hand to prop herself against the tree and the other hand to hold her stomach tightly. She breathed out and continued moving weakly. "Seems like I'm not going to escape this. What type of poison is this?" she wondered. She unbuckled her belt to relieve some pain, then sat down somewhere and groaned while her hand wandered around on the wet ground until it made contact with something. She picked it up and saw the object with the help of the lightning. The thing was round like a bead, and something joined them together. She did not care about what it was and just swallowed it. She was going to die anyway, at least she ate something. She could not figure out the taste of the thing, but it was surely not normal because as soon as it made contact with her throat, it felt very hot, as if she had drunk hot water that had not cooled. "Sh*t! Even in death, my luck is still very bad," she muttered. She was still lamenting when her aching stomach suddenly stopped aching. She did not have the chance to rejoice when her stomach started swelling up, getting bigger and bigger. It was as if it wanted to burst but, alas, it didn't. She could feel herself in labor. She groaned until something escaped her body - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. She was relieved from both the poison pain and her swollen stomach pain. When she looked at what she had given birth to, she was shocked. Eggs. She had given birth to eggs. And there were six. What happened to the eggs? How did their journey begin? read the full novel. update time:6:00pm *by love gold*

The Ultimate Biological Evolution

--- **Superpower: The Ultimate Biological Evolution Live** Yang Shung stood silently at the edge of the dense forest, the breeze rustling through the ancient trees. His sharp eyes scanned the mysterious landscape ahead. Strange beasts roared faintly in the distance, and the faint glow of a hidden realm shimmered under the morning light. "This world... full of secrets," Yang Shung muttered. His tone was calm, but his clenched fist revealed his inner determination. Beside him, Yang Ming, his younger brother, adjusted his sword belt and smirked. "Big brother, are we really heading into that so-called *Ancestral Prophecy Zone*? Rumor says no one ever returns." Yang Shung glanced at him coldly. "Fear won't uncover the truth. Only strength will." Yang Ling, their cousin, held a scroll in her delicate hands. Her demeanor was composed as she spoke, "The legends say this realm hides truths forgotten by time. If we find it, we gain the edge. If not, we die trying." The group moved forward, their footsteps blending with the rhythm of the forest. A low growl broke the silence. A massive shadow emerged—a four-eyed spirit tiger, its silver fur shimmering like steel. "Defense formation!" Yang Shung barked, his voice commanding. Yang Ming charged with his twin blades, his movements swift and precise. "I’ve been itching for a fight!" The tiger leaped, claws aiming to strike. Yang Shung raised his palm, channeling his fighting qi. A golden arc shot out, slicing the beast’s attack mid-air. Yang Ling unleashed a flurry of talismans that exploded in dazzling light, momentarily blinding the creature. "Yang Ming, finish it!" Yang Shung ordered. With a loud roar, Yang Ming’s blades glowed crimson as he slashed down, severing the tiger’s head. Blood splattered the ground, and the forest fell silent again. [You have defeated a Silver-level Spirit Beast. You gain one year of fighting qi cultivation.] Yang Shung wiped his blade clean, his expression stoic. "This is only the beginning." --- [Reflections and clean revisions complete. All names, actions, and setting adapted for flow and clarity.]

Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Pampered Wife

Shen Yuan, the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion, is known for her beauty, with a face like a hibiscus and skin like smooth jade—reputed as the most beautiful woman in Yangzhou. She is betrothed to Lu Shen, the Earl of Kangping, yet soon after their engagement, she has a dream. In the dream, her husband coldly neglects her. Lu Shen’s reason for marrying her turns out to be her resemblance to her half-sister, who mysteriously disappeared. When the sister eventually returns, Shen Yuan suffers a tragic and lonely death. The one who mourns her loss the most, however, is Lu Shen’s uncle, Lu Zhiyun—a powerful and ruthless Grand Chancellor and Duke of the Nation, feared across the court. Every month, he visits her grave alone, keeping silent company, even as Shen Yuan lies long-departed. Unmarried to the end, Lu Zhiyun ultimately visits the Hou Mansion to take her spirit tablet as his bride. After being reborn, Shen Yuan vows not to repeat her misfortunes and instead sets her sights on the cold, stoic power-holder. At the Garden of Joy banquet, Lu Zhiyun appears: a man past thirty, handsome and mature, clad in a red court robe with a leather belt and a jade crown, exuding an aura of restrained dignity. As he passes by her, Shen Yuan intentionally lets her handkerchief fall, hoping to draw closer and test his response. Lu Zhiyun, known to avoid women and despise the scent of powder, surprises everyone who expects to see Shen Yuan make a fool of herself. The usually aloof Chancellor picks up her handkerchief instead, his expression indifferent, and only says in a low voice, “Take it.” No one knows he has carried a yearning for this beauty across two lifetimes.
