Feng Shui Chapter 172: The Glowing School of Fish

The Chongxuan Spirit Tea that Xi Yunqing personally crafted was made entirely by hand, picked, processed, and roasted without any mechanical aid. So when he said he had a good grasp of controlling fire-elemental true energy, it wasn’t an empty boast. But applying that skill to cooking was a first for him. Without Chen Xiao, Xi Yunqing might never have thought to try such a special technique to fry bird eggs.

Though Xi Yunqing’s expression was calm, he was actually a bit nervous insi...

HP Chapter 20: Sending Off the Dragon

When Malfoy reported the dragon incident to Professor Snape, he was met with a cold rebuke. After that, he didn’t bring it up again, because he realized no one believed him. Following the scene in the dining hall, most students thought Malfoy had made up a story to smear the people he disliked, especially Anne.

Some braver students even began reenacting Malfoy's argument with Anne, tweaking the lines to make them even more ridiculous. Their antics had everyone around them laughing, an...

HP Chapter 19: Discussion

When Hermione, Ron, and Harry finally made it through Herbology class, hearts pounding the entire time, they rushed straight to Hagrid’s hut the moment class ended.

As they pushed open the wooden door, they froze.

Anne was curled up in a large, fur-covered armchair by Hagrid’s fireplace, knees tucked up, head lowered. A silver Sickle spun nimbly in her fingers, occasionally tossed in the air and caught again. Already petite, she looked even smaller wrapped in her black wizard ...

HP Chapter 18: The Dragon

After Ron finished interrogating her, Anne excused herself to Fanny and went straight to Professor Sprout’s greenhouse. She wanted to stay as far away from the Golden Trio as possible. 

Even though she was very curious about the dragon, who hadn’t heard stories about dragons as a child?, she forced herself to let it go. She had thought dragons wouldn't appear until the Triwizard Tournament in fourth year. But now, with an actual dragon lead dangling in front of her... how could...

HP Chapter 17: The East

The first headache Anne encountered upon returning to Hogwarts wasn’t the Golden Trio, it was waking up.

After spending the entire Christmas holiday sleeping in naturally every day, she found it nearly impossible to adjust back to early morning classes in the cold, damp castle. Still, she had no choice. Once again, she had to rely on Fanny to drag her out of bed. Fortunately, Fanny had grown used to Anne’s gift for oversleeping and didn’t complain as she helped her get ready.

HP Chapter 16: Christmas (Part 3)

On Christmas Eve, Anne woke up contentedly in her wide, 1.8-meter bed. No classes, no one calling her to get up at the crack of dawn, and the best part, she could roll around as much as she liked without worrying about falling off. It was a beautiful kind of day.

She wandered into the bathroom and washed up lazily. Afterward, she pulled on her usual clothes from the wardrobe, tousled her hair, and padded downstairs in her slippers.

As she passed the second floor, Aaron stepped out...

HP Chapter 15: Christmas (Part 2)

The next morning, Anne got out of bed at the orphanage and had already pushed yesterday's long chat with Hermione to the back of her mind. After all, the most important things today were meeting Jill and going home.

Once she was up, Anne packed all her belongings again. She kept the small blue box and her plot notebook on her at all times, those were her most important items. On the desk were some old elementary school notebooks, three years’ worth of memories. She packed them neatly ...

HP Chapter 14: Christmas (Part One)

Four days before Christmas, in the Slytherin common room, Fanny was enthusiastically telling Anne about her ski trip to the Swiss Alps during last year’s holiday break. Anne, sitting beside her, listened intently.

In her previous life, Anne had never been abroad. Even after arriving in Britain, she hadn’t had the chance to explore much. She had only been to London three times, twice to Diagon Alley and once to visit Jill’s secondary school. Now that she had the means, Anne was det...

HP Chapter 13: Quidditch

Another week passed, and by Friday, the entire school was buzzing about Saturday’s Quidditch match.

This would be Harry’s first official game since joining the Gryffindor Quidditch team. And this match was against Slytherin. If Gryffindor won, they’d rise to second place on the scoreboard and would be one step closer to winning the Quidditch Cup.

Saturday arrived right on schedule, and, surprisingly, it was a rare sunny day, one of the few clear days since winter began. The ...

HP Chapter 12: The Glass Orb

By mid-November, the weather had turned bitterly cold. The mountains surrounding the school were shrouded in a grey haze, dusted with snow, and a thick layer of ice had formed on the lake. Every morning, frost coated the ground. Anne hated getting up in such weather. She had even been skipping her trips to the greenhouse lately. More often than not, Fanny would bring her breakfast from the Great Hall and drag her out of bed just in time to rush to class at the sound of the bell.

This Tu...

HP Chapter 11: Halloween

By the time Halloween arrived, Anne realized she had already been at Hogwarts for two months.

On the eve of the holiday, a strong scent of pumpkin filled every corner of the school.

But Hogwarts’ first Halloween wasn’t going to be a peaceful one. Professor Quirrell had likely already begun moving behind the scenes, and the main characters were about to experience a turning point in their friendship.

Anne had no intention of getting involved. She told herself firmly: Stay...

Female Consort Chapter 73: Marriage Alliance

On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Northern Xiongnu declared war on Great Xia.

It was no surprise to anyone that Qiu Che was released. What caught everyone off guard, however, was Yao Tai’s departure.

When Li Qingwu awoke again, Qiu Che was seated by the bed, speaking softly with Yu Ming, who stood nearby holding a book, taking notes as she listened. From time to time, she would glance at Li Qingwu, her gaze somewhat peculiar.

Now that Qiu Che had resume...

Feng Shui Chapter 171: Frying an Egg Barehanded

The sunlight was bright, and visibility was crystal clear. Not long after Brother Chen Xiao walked into the water, he came across a cluster of reef rocks. On the reefs grew patches of coral, vibrant in color and varied in shape, swaying gently with the ocean currents.

The clothes he wore were made of a special fabric custom-made for him by his eldest brother at Qianxiu Workshop. Apart from feeling the chill of the seawater, Chen Xiao remained completely dry. He held a breath pearl in hi...

Female Consort Chapter 72: Fall

Yang Qiu fell silent.

Even the Empress Dowager hadn’t expected her to be so bold, to speak her purpose out loud so frankly and directly.

She gave her a surprised glance, a flicker of admiration in her eyes.

But the sisters, Yu Ming and Yu Yan, exchanged a glance and didn’t seem all that shocked, 

Ever since they had seen Li Qingwu choose to stay and tear up the divorce papers, fully aware that Qiu Che’s identity as a woman had been exposed, they had felt tha...

Feng Shui Chapter 170: A Foodie’s Mindset

Although the Gengsheng Lesser Heavenly Realm also had a sizable sea area, Chen Xiao had never ventured into those waters. It wasn’t just because he hadn’t had the time over the years, but also because the shallow seas in Gengsheng were relatively narrow and its fishing industry was underdeveloped.

Tai Shen was the complete opposite. Not only did it have vast shallow sea regions, but due to the unique geography of Yingxian Island, nearby ferocious beasts had been driven away to other...

HP Chapter 10: The Midnight Duel

In the Slytherin common room, Malfoy was loudly boasting about how he’d challenged Harry Potter to a midnight duel.

Anne and Fanny had just returned from the library when Malfoy’s two cronies stepped in to block Anne’s way.

Anne was a bit confused, she hadn’t done anything to provoke this brat. She glanced at Malfoy, and Fanny, standing just behind her, also looked over in bewilderment.

“Well, look who’s back, the traitor of Slytherin,” Malfoy sneered, raising ...

HP Chapter 9: Flying Lessons

Saturday – Slytherin Common Room

Malfoy jabbed a finger at a notice pinned on the wall and announced with great enthusiasm, “Look! Flying lessons start next Thursday! And we’re with the Gryffindors! Finally time to show those losers what real flying looks like…”

He launched into a dramatic tale about how he’d been trained at home to fly with expert skill, how he soared freely through the sky, and even concluded his story with a harrowing dodge of a Mug...

HP Chapter 8: The First Lesson

“Fanny, what class do we have next?” Anne asked as she casually spun a Knut in her fingers while walking beside Fanny.

Fanny pulled a neatly folded sheet of parchment from the book she was holding. The handwriting on it was graceful and tidy.

“History of Magic. We'll be with Gryffindor,” Fanny replied.

“History of Magic? Hm, looks like we’re in for a bit of a show.”

“What show?” Fanny asked, puzzled.

“You’ll see soon enough,” Anne said mys...

HP Chapter 7: Hogwarts

The train began to slow down and eventually came to a complete stop. The students jostled their way to the doors, pouring out onto a small, dark platform. The night air was cold enough to make Anne shiver.

A lantern bobbed over the crowd of first-years, and Harry heard a familiar voice calling out:

“Firs’-years! Firs’-years over here! Harry! There you are, yeh alright?”

In the sea of people, Hagrid stood out clearly, not only because of his towering ...

HP Chapter 6: On the Train

September 1st, 10:30 a.m.

King's Cross Station.

Aaron lugged the trunk while Anne carried the owl cage. The two of them walked toward the space between Platforms 9 and 10. People bustled around the station, coming and going. They’d have to wait until the crowd thinned before slipping through the stone wall into Platform 9¾, just to avoid drawing any unnecessary attention from the Muggles.

Aaron reached out and ruffled Anne’s hair again....

HP Chapter 5: First Encounters

After purchasing a set of crystal potion vials, Anne’s shoulder bag was already packed full, and Aaron’s hands were filled with shopping bags. Yet, they still hadn’t crossed everything off the list, there were books to buy and a pet owl still missing.

“Uncle Aaron,” Anne tugged on his sleeve as they made their way toward Flourish and Blotts, “we really can’t carry any more. I think we need a trunk to put everything in…” She lifted her swollen bag, genuinely worried it ...

HP Chapter 4: The Wand

After reading Aaron’s note, Anne glanced suspiciously at the letter on her desk. Could that Ministry letter be a fake? She shook her head, dismissing the thought. Her eyes drifted back to the small box in her hands. It was pale blue, secured with a clasp. She unlatched it carefully, revealing a small crystal orb nestled quietly inside.

Tilting her head, Anne tried to recall what crystal balls were used for, divination was the only thing that came to mind. She reached out and ...

HP Chapter 3: The Inheritance of Her Parents

As soon as they stepped through the passageway, the view before them opened up in an instant. Anne turned around to look behind her, only to find that the passage had vanished and become a solid stone wall. Aaron led her forward a few steps onto a cobbled path. Though the path wasn’t wide, it bustled with foot traffic, and the lights from the surrounding shops made it bright as day.

Just outside the closest shop stood a tall, thin man holding something that looked like licorice root, ...

HP Chapter 2: Aaron Hall

The moment Anne blurted out those words, she instantly regretted it. If this letter really was authentic, then that meant this was the mysterious wizarding world, and who knew if there were wizards secretly monitoring this place?

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Anne calmed herself. Clutching the parchment letter, she scanned the desk with her eyes in search of the second yellowed envelope.

She pulled it out from under a stack of papers and books and tore it open. Inside was...

HP Chapter 1: Acceptance Letter

It was summer. The sun was veiled behind a thin layer of clouds, its light slightly dimmed. Under a large banyan tree, a petite girl with long black hair rested her chin in her palm, lounging on a long wicker chair. Not far from her, a group of children around eight or nine years old were playing boisterously.

Anne sat still, lost in a whirlwind of thoughts.

This all began two days ago.

She had awoken from a long period of darkness, her last memory before that being the mome...

She Walked into Hogwarts (GL)

What if one day… you walked into Hogwarts? 

Would you stay?

Anne Roland Reeve, isn’t supposed to be in the wizarding world. Pulled from the real world into a realm of spells, secrets, and sorcery, she’s not chasing magic… she's chasing meaning. And when she crosses paths with Hermione Granger in Diagon Alley, everything changes.

A spark. A mystery. A connection that defies worlds.

As Anne unravels the strange rules of this new rea...

Female Consort Chapter 71: Plan

The fury of the common people came too suddenly.

Not only was the Crown Prince caught off guard, even Yang Qiu was unprepared.

But who’s to say it wasn’t a blessing in disguise?

The crowd grew louder and louder. Just as the panicked Crown Prince shouted at Yang Qiu to quickly end the trial, the latter finally feigned a look of realization, slammed the gavel heavily, and barked, “Silence!”

By all reason, he should have either sentenced Qiu Chudong right then or ...

Feng Shui Chapter 169: The Yumen Water Realm

Although it didn’t have the dual attributes like the Lanwei Jade Hairpin that Xi Yunqing had gifted him, the single attribute it did possess was perfected to the utmost.

After looking over a few more items, Chen Xiao still felt nothing matched the fire-stone chest clasp he had chosen. Most importantly, the fire stone resembled obsidian so closely, and was just as beautiful as Xi Yunqing’s eyes, that Chen Xiao immediately took a liking to it.

“This one, then." Chen Xiao said,...

Feng Shui Chapter 168: Firestone Pendant

Li Yuzhou immediately exclaimed with delight, “What? You actually used all the potions I gave you? Tell me quickly, how well did they work?”

Chen Xiao briefly explained how he’d used the potent itching agent to deal with a horde of Black Tailed Bat Monkeys in the White Spirit Fruit Forest, and how he’d later used the strong stench-inducing potion to counter a venomous viper.

Hearing that his creations had proven so useful, Li Yuzhou was thrilled. At the same time, he could...
