MTL - Sword Among Us - Chapter 117 The oriole is behind (recommended)

Shao Xuan joins a friend in his expedition to a recently discovered archaeological cave. After he picks up an ordinary looking stone he is teleported to a different world and wakes up in the body of a small orphan child. The world he is in now is still in its stone age with primitive tools made of stone and the ways of the people are savage. Savage isn’t the only thing special about the people though, because they have superhuman strength, jump higher than trees and punch stones. In short, they are able to cultivate their bodies. Despite all this, it is a real struggle to survive because of the scarcity of food. Together with Caesar, his pet wolf, he tries to survive in this cruel world.

A world where God will grant abilities called Skills to those who come of age. The protagonist, bestowed with two skills, uses them and rises to an existence called a hero.

Charlie Jiang doesn’t really care about the marriage with Mandy Song. During the three years of their marriage, he doesn’t even try to understand her. He has always only listened to Vivi Qiao’s one-sided words and condemns Mandy Song of crimes she never committed. Has it never occurred to him that when there is a crisis in Jiang family, Mandy Song agrees to their marriage without slightest hesitation, for what? Charlie Jiang never cares for Mandy Song, so he never knows that for such a long time he used to be her world, her whole world.

But even if he knows, what difference would that make?

I, Mandy Song, is simply not the one he cherishes in heart.

For Charlie, only Vivi matters the whole world to him.

How pathetic!
