The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant - Chapter 167: Unwilling for Daughter to Marry into a Poor Family

Elia is a poor university student until the night she’s taken to the world of the Anima—ruled by humans whose ancient hearts pulse with the blood of animals. There she’s forced into a battle to the death. But when Elia survives, and refuses to kill her final opponent, the King must either kill Elia himself, or take her as his mate.

Reth, the brutal King of the Beasts with the blood of lions, shocks everyone when he chooses the weak, human Elia to become his Queen. He promises her every comfort of his wealth and position—but he is clear: She will not warm his bed. He chose her to defeat those that were trying to corner him into blending his Leonine line with the Wolves.

Elia needs the help of the Anima to become stronger and rule them well. But the vengeful Wolves see only a weak human that brought them shame. As Elia and Reth grow closer, the wolves are determined to destroy her. Will Reth and Elia admit their feelings for each in time to fight for the Kingdom—and their lives—against the villainous wolf-tribe? Or will the wolves kill Elia and steal the throne?

He stalked towards her, chin low so the shadow cast by his hard jaw cut across the thick fur collar of his vest. His hair had fallen over his eyes in the scuffle, so he peered at her through it like a lion in the grass. With each step, his graceful, rolling gait reminded her of a predator stalking its prey. Despite the forest floor littered in twigs and leaves, he didn’t make a sound.

“Wh-who are you?” Elia stammered, backing away, her hands up. He met her step for step until she came up hard against the tree behind her—and didn’t stop until he loomed over her, so broad his shoulders and chest made a wall in front of her. She could feel the heat rising off his skin in the cool, night air.

“I am the Leonine King.” His voice was a dark, husky gravel. Behind him a chorus of wheezes, howls, and chirps of agreement rose from the people watching. “And you are?”

“Elia,” she breathed.

“Elia,” he growled, leaning in closer, bringing with him the scent of pine and rain and the musk of something distinctly male. “I am Reth.” He said the name with a strange, guttural roll in his throat. “I am King of Beasts. I am Clan Leader, and I am Alpha of WildWood.” Several snarls rose from the crowds behind him then, but he ignored them.

Elia swallowed as he leaned in until the scruff on his jaw rasped her cheek. “I am the King,” he said, “And you will be my mate.”

The forest behind him erupted.

Sold by her own grandmother to become a shared wife to the poverty-stricken Ye brothers for twenty taels of silver, Liu Duo, unwilling to succumb to her fate, escaped in the night. She slipped and fell and died an inexplicable death.

Work hard, earn money, get richer, become wealthy, maybe even have some kids! Just as they are living their lives, an array of crazy characters just loves to disrupt their peace. Are they here to taunt her? Take advantage of her? Well, good luck with that! I’m not some sick cat who can’t fight back!

During the thirteen years of being friends with Nan Qiao, Yun Zhi confessed his love many times.
But every time, Nan Qiao would reject him with the words “We are friends”.
He said he was a friend, but he could express his possessiveness to her and help her drive away the peach blossoms around her.
They say they are friends, but they can be ambiguous with her, ask for something special, and exercise the rights of a lover.
When she bumped into her new relationship, Nan Qiao smiled and blessed her, hoping that she would find someone she likes soon.
On this day, Yun Zhi suddenly woke up.
She decided to give up Nan Qiao and start her own life.
–
On Qixi Festival, Nan Qiao asked Yun Zhi who hadn’t contacted her for a long time to come out for dinner.
She thought it was time for her to calm down after being angry for half a month, but she didn’t expect that at the dinner table, she brought another woman, Yu Mingxia.
The two behaved intimately, and Yu Mingxia looked at Yunzhi with even more ambiguous and lingering eyes.
For the first time, Nan Qiao felt panic like never before.
She thought that Yun Zhi was trying to anger her on purpose, and wanted to keep Yun Zhi away from Yu Mingxia as before, but she didn’t expect that it was Yu Mingxia’s voice that came through the phone.
Her voice was cold but clear——
“Zhizhi fell asleep.”
“In the future, you can contact me directly if you have anything to do. As a girlfriend, I will love you.”
But a few seconds later, she heard her laughing voice:
“But I advise you to be a good person and don’t think about meddling in other people’s feelings.”
It was then that Nan Qiao understood.
She seems to have lost Yun Zhi.
–
Nan Qiao always felt that the name Yu Mingxia was very familiar.
Later, she turned to the collection of outstanding students of her alma mater in high school, and she remembered it only when she saw the name of the 2012 science champion on it.
In her third year of high school, she threw a love letter to Yunzhi from someone else.
The signer was none other than Yu Mingxia.
