Way of the Knights - Chapter 140 - Mort’s Despair

Ning Yue was a military doctor and a special forces soldier. During a mission to rescue hostages, she died from a bomb explosion. Ning Yue thought she was dead, but when she opened her eyes, she had become a woman in ancient times with the same name but a different surname.

This woman’s father was a general, but she lived in the Ning Family Village and was raised by her adoptive parents for more than ten years. A year ago, the people from the general’s residence found her and brought her back. However, they sent her back again a few months later. When the original owner of the body returned to the village, she was pregnant and gave birth to twin sons within a few months.

Another year passed, and the year of the great drought was ushered in. The entire village had to flee. The original owner of the body left with the rest of the villagers with her two sons and slow-witted father. In other words, the current special forces soldier, Ning Yue, was an older single young woman who had not experienced the sweetness of love. She had skipped all those steps, and directly became a mother to two children. She also gained the original owner’s dim-witted father and a body that didn’t work and had hunger pangs after starving for two days. But was that all? Don’t be naive!

“Don’t eat my daughter! Don’t eat my daughter!” The original owner’s father pleaded. “The older one’s meat is too hard, so it needs to be cooked longer. These two small ones have tender meat, so they only need to be roasted for a while. We’ll eat the big one tomorrow!” Ning Yue, who was now being viewed as food, looked up at the sky and said to herself, “Gee, thanks SO much!”

Four years ago, Anna Thornton was deceived by a rotten man and vowed to make him 'pay with blood'!“President Sterling, the paternity test results indicate that the baby Miss Thornton brought back is indeed your biological child.”Conrad Sterling flips the table and sets a flag: “Destroy the test results, no matter what tricks that woman plays, I will never marry her.”However, after marriage, a certain cold-faced president's face was continuously slapped.“President Sterling, something's wrong! Madam intends to snatch the resources of your ex-girlfriend, the film queen Marilyn Ford.”Conrad Sterling: “Give her!”“President Sterling, something's wrong! Madam has formed an alliance with your archenemy and intends to steal the company's confidential files.”Conrad Sterling: “Give her!”“President Sterling, something's wrong! Madam wants to sell all your company's stocks at a low price!”“Give her! Anyway, she can never divorce in this life. Ask her if she'd prefer to use the money from selling the company to support me or let me earn money to support her?”Due to the overly pampered married life, Anna simply couldn't take it anymore!“Conrad Sterling, I'm here for revenge, please respect that!”

After his death, Aoi Hiroto is reincarnated as a beast-like race, similar to Ghislaine's race, but with the memories of his past life intact. Now, torn between his animal instincts and human rationality, he tries to find his place in this new world. While Rudeus continues his journey, the protagonist forms new connections and learns more about this new world.Warnings:- The MC is like Rudeus, he doesn't know the world of Mushoku Tensei, for him, this is a new world with magic and swords, but he has seen other known animes.- Rudeus will still exist in this timeline, but the chapters that will show his point of view will be very rare, unless he is interacting with the MC.-The confirmed members of the harem so far is only Ghislaine.I do not own the cover image or any characters or references taken from the work Mushoku Tensei.English is not my first language, but I will try my best not to make mistakes.

If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.”His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.”Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.”“On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—”“Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.
