The Devilish Assassin meets the Angelic Detective

"Fateful encounter of a cold-blooded assassin and a gentle detective: She wants to avenge her parents’ death, no matter the cost. He wants to redeem her and teach her forgiveness. One of them must give in. Merciless, fierce, vicious, and ruthless were the words that people would associate with her. That's how they would describe her, a living devil. Elle is known as the mysterious and meticulous assassin feared by both the underground syndicates and the government. But she finds herself helpless and at the end of her rope when she meets with despair on one of her missions. Erick, a chief detective, comes just in time to rescue the devil turned damsel. His kindhearted nature had led him to take the cold and aloof girl under his wing. With his protection on the line, Elle couldn't possibly get close to him in fear of being revealed. Can she let him into her walls or will she push him away, like all the others? Can he close his eyes to her crimes or will he punish her?" «»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» *Excerpts* "What if I had killed someone? What if I am a criminal, what will you do?" Erick kept silent for a few seconds, thinking. Elle could almost hear her pounding heart amidst the silence of their surrounding. Erick looked into her eyes and met her nervous gaze as he gave her his response. "If that is the case, then I will have to put you in prison," he said in a serious tone. Elle's heart sank when she heard it. She felt like her world fell into pieces. "So... if I ask you to surrender yourself to me, will you do it?" Erick asked her softly as he cupped her troubled face in his two hands. "Will you?... will you marry me Elle?" he added. Elle:"..." Erick took advantage of that chance when Elle was still in a trance as he brought his face closer to her and sealed her lips with a gentle kiss. -------------------------------------------------- COMPLETED [ 530 Chapters ] { Warning: This Book Features Mature Content [R-18] } Award: Writing Prompt Contest #93 First Placer- Villainess Female Lead Author's Other Book: 1.

This author hopes you see this book for what it is. A lesson.

Excerpt: The corners of Lu Chenjun’s lips slightly curled up into an unreadable smile. ‘I let you go once because I was foolish and I thought that was what you wanted.

What is the origin of the 'let not the pot call the kettle black story'?
The origin of this phrase can be traced back to the days when both pots and kettles were made of metal and used over an open fire. They would both get blackened from the soot and fire. So it was absurd for one (the pot) to criticize the other (the kettle) for being black. Over time, it became a common saying in the English language to refer to the situation where someone blames another for a fault they also possess.

Reaction Kettle, Enamel Kettle, Stainless Steel Kettle, Storage Tank
The reaction kettle was a type of pressure vessel used to complete the processes of sulfidification, nitration, dehydration, dehydration, condensation, and so on. Commonly seen were porcelain reaction kettles and stainless steel reaction kettles. The porcelain reactor was made of carbon steel. A layer of porcelain was burned on the surface of the contact material. The anti-corrosion ability of the porcelain layer was used to isolate the contact between the material and the carbon steel to protect the reactor body from corrosion. The temperature of the material could not exceed 200 degrees Celsius. If the temperature was too high, it would cause the glaze layer to melt. It was an open structure. The upper head and the kettle body were connected by a flange-like connection and filled with an anti-corrosion sealing mat. The pressure that could be maintained in the kettle did not exceed 4 kg. It is suitable for corrosive materials. The stainless steel reactor was made of stainless steel. According to the requirements of the material, it could be equipped with heating, cooling, high pressure, vacuum and other functions. The material temperature could reach 400 degrees Celsius, and the kettle could maintain a pressure of tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms, but its corrosion resistance was worse than that of the porcelain reactor. However, the information provided by the storage tank did not include detailed information about the comparison of the reactor functions with the porcelain kettle and the stainless steel kettle. It was impossible to give detailed information under the same logic as the former two. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Ancient Relic Kettle
The following are a few ancient cultural relics: 1. This is a pair of well-preserved bronze heavy ware from the late Western Zhou Dynasty. It is 48 cm high, 30 cm in diameter, and has a rounded square cross-section. The pot body has a flat mouth and a bulging belly, with a Tian-shaped edge and a smooth belly. On both sides of the neck, there are dragon-shaped beast head rings, and the neck is cast with a phoenix pattern. The lid of the pot was closed at the waist of the cover of the hand-catching device. There were S-shaped double dragon patterns on the top, and the periphery was surrounded by the pattern of no eyes stealing. There were eight lines and thirty-three words (including two heavy words) cast on the lid of the pot, which recorded that Jia Bo had cast a pair of copper pots for the eldest daughter who married into the world to worship the ancestors and pray for longevity. It was now stored in the China Character Museum. 2. ** Reverse flow pot (blue-glazed reverse flow pot with carved patterns)**: Yaozhou carved porcelain of the Song Dynasty. It had no lid and looked like it had no water injection port, but the actual water injection port was a small plum blossom shaped hole at the bottom of the pot. There were two tubes in the pot. Using the principle of "the liquid level of the connecting vessel is equal", the liquid could be injected from the bottom of the pot and poured out normally from the spout. It was created in the Tang Dynasty and was popular in the Song and Liao Dynasties. It was also popular in the Qing Dynasty. Because there was no lid that could be opened, the seal was tighter. The liquid was not easy to evaporate, and dust and insects could not fall in. 3. ** Silver Gilded Dancing Girl Lotus Petal Pattern Holding Pot **: Made with a silver body, the whole body is gilded. Extravagant mouth, neck bundle, oblique arc abdomen, trumpet type circle foot and circle plantar edge outward fold. On the shoulder, there is a stream and a handle. The stream is hexagonal, and the edge of the mouth is carved with a stream chisel. There was a cover, shaped like a tower, with a lotus flower in bud, and the cover was decorated with flower patterns. The neck was also decorated with flower patterns, and the gaps were filled with pearl patterns. The shoulder, body, and feet were all decorated with exquisite patterns. They were collected in the Wangcang County Cultural Relics Protection Management Office and were currently on display in the Guangyuan City Museum. 4. ** Ming Dynasty single glazed pear-style teapot **: The year is the middle of tomorrow morning, the origin is Jingdezhen, and it is currently circulating in the world. 5. The pottery pot of the Neoliths era had hidden air holes. When pouring water, the air in the pot was compressed at the bottom. When the water level rose to the height of the air holes, the compressed air pushed the water out of the pot mouth. The body of the pot was slightly inclined, the shape of the spout had been carefully calculated, and the material was made of a special clay formula, which not only ensured the strength of the pot body but also had good heat preservation performance. It was unearthed from the Neoliths ruins. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
