Steampunk: Sixth Era Epic - Chapter 88 "Whispering Verses

Traveling back to 1983, Lu Jiaxin faced the beginning: her original owner failed the college entrance examination and was abducted, her stepmother was a sweetheart and her father was a pure egoist.

Designer Lu from Hell’s Beginning decided: The stepmother will be in the first grade of junior high school, and she will be in the fifteenth grade! My father is not a good man, so she taught him how to be a good man!

She still had to go to university. I heard that the University of Hong Kong in the 1980s was very valuable, so she waved her sleeves and ventured into Hong Kong’s financial circle.

Big Brother, Beep Machine, Lingling Paint on the dance floor!

Victoria Peak, Repulse Bay, Victoria’s wealthy ladies!

Ye Sang’s five daddies were all villains wicked beyond redemption who were doing bad things in the world. Eventually, they were all killed by the male lead!

And so, she had to hug onto their thighs tightly to prevent them from courting disasters and instead rise to the peak of their lives.

……

Number one, the biggest influence in the business industry: “The weather’s getting cold, it is time for the Duan family to be bankrupt.”

Number two, the smartest villain: “Imma teach that Duan guy a lesson today.”

Number three, a genius in the medical field: “I’ve reincarnated and I will make him pay.”

Number four, the god of Esports, and number five, the god of acting: “Today, only one shall fall and one shall stand.”

Their little ball silently hugged one of their thighs. Daddy, Sangsang hungry~

All the villains who were on their way to take revenge immediately thought, ... screw that, I’m busy spending time with my daughter!

And then, the entire City A found out that these five vicious and merciless villains weren’t scared of anything but their daughter crying.

Everyone who saw this thought, ...wait, why does this scene look so strange?

Why are all these great villains busy raising their daughter?

……

All these villains who could cover the sky with their hands never thought that the cute daughter they raised could be stolen by the Duan family’s little wolf!!!

Duan Jinyan hugged the girl tightly in his arms, “Why are you running? Sangsang, call me brother and my everything will belong to you.”

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?
