Quills: the Rise of the Northern Matriarch - Chapter 79: Nora (Continued)

A conversation with a handsome stranger leaves Ariane chained in a cellar with a strange affliction. She soon discovers that the darkness of the nineteenth century’s Deep South hides many dangers. Mages, wolf shifters and the humans who hunt them play a risky game where to stumble is to die, all under the amused gaze of the apex predators of the supernatural world: vampires.

It is never healthy to attract the gaze of the aristocracy of the night. It takes much to survive in this merciless world, but Ariane will not let that deter her. The southern belle has a bite, and she is willing to learn and to grow in this hostile new world. She will use whatever means necessary to reclaim her freedom, be it guile, charm, or those intriguing new instincts that make blood so delectable.

This is a story of vampires as I believe they should be, with their strengths and weaknesses, with their remnants of humanity and the beast inside. Updates every Friday. Mind the tags.

In the Shen family in Ningcheng, there are good girls in pairs. The eldest lady, Shen Ru, is shrewd and capable, and the second lady, Shen Yan, is delicate and charming. One day, there was an extra third lady——Shen Wei.

Taciturn and unremarkable in appearance, like a small white pear in the wind, weak and helpless.

Father Shen: “Let’s keep it.”

Mother Shen: “The daughter of a bitch is still a bitch.”

Shen Ru: “A petty air.”

Shen Yan: “Brother Qi hates dodder flowers the most.”

Shen Yu sneered: Don’t worry, take your time, no one can escape!

…

In the previous life, Shen Yu’s blood flowed out, her internal organs were emptied, and she died on the cold operating table. Thirty years old, no children and no daughters.

In this life, she came here for revenge. She took every step of the way and turned Ning Cheng upside down, but unintentionally provoked the Great Demon King.

Quan Hanting, respected by everyone as “Six Lord”, is cold-hearted and ruthless, and his identity is a mystery.

【Small cute bag】

It is said that on the day the baby was born, Quan’s father was in so much pain that he died.

Well, bitten by Mommy Quan.

Dark net is a subset of the Deep Web that is not only not indexed by traditional search engines, but that also requires special tools like specific proxy or authentication to gain access. Dark net is not restricted by any law or morals, so the dark net market has everything that is prohibited by the law. Drugs, slaves, firearms, uranium, bioweapons, rare animals, human testing, assassination, and the list goes on. During the year of 2075 on Earth, Han Lang logged into the largest hyperspace dark net market, and our story begins.
