2022-07-19 11:16:00The general gave a long and heavy sigh when he heard Peng Mingxia.
"I need to use your identity for this transaction to happen." He motioned his arms towards his family and himself. "As you can see, my situation is not good."
"What do you mean by that?" Peng Mingxia was quick to question.
Peng Mingxia knew that something was up with the deal. But the temptations of solving one of the biggest headaches in medicine society was far too big for him to pass up.
But he did not expect that the general was seriously striking this deal with him. Forget about the audacity (that was only felt one-sidedly by Peng Mingxia), the general in the first place should not have the right to make this negotiation with him in the first place.

"When would the auction be starting?" Zhi Ruo asked. She was looking at the body of water in front of her.Her reflection was seen at the surface of the water. And behind her she could see Ravel looking down with her."Directly after the tournament ends." Was Ravel's answer. "Are you going to go in or not?" He asked."Of course I'm going in! You said I was stinky." Zhi Ruo laughed as she removed her mask. Her nails were covered in grime and dried blood. Her knuckles were also messed up, as it kept on bleeding."That was two days ago." Ravel said. "And you decide that it was today you are going take a bath." He point out.Zhi Ruo ran her mask through the water rendering it murky, before it turned to being clear again. Her knuckles

A day passed by rather uneventfully, it was anticlimactic on Zhi Ruo's part. As for Ravel he went back as soon as Zhi Ruo finished bathing, he left the clothes for Zhi Ruo to wear and gave back he broken mask.The arm bracers, the wraith devourers, on Zhi Ruo's arms were getting cooler and more subdued after Zhi Ruo had constantly fed it the corpses and some cores from the beats she had slaughtered.Zhōngguó on the other hand was much more harder to feed because it was a picky weapon. But nonetheless she made progress with the Bo staff. But for the last few days, Zhōngguó's phantom projection didn't come out because Ravel was now visiting her almost daily.Ravel of course knew that Zhi Ruo had a weapon now, and that weapon was a sentient beings. But despite that, he didn't pry about the weapon as Zhi Ruo would have expected.

"I'm back."Is what Zhi Ruo said as she finally made it through the gate. There was four figures waiting for her at the entrance. They stood, clearly waiting. Three men and one woman."Welcome back young miss." It was Ye Qing Qing that greeted her first. Her eyes distinctively looking at Zhi Ruo's messy appearance with a trace of satisfaction, Zhi Ruo saw this satisfaction manifest into Ye Qing Qing's smile.Ye Qing Qing looked at the broken mask on Zhi Ruo's face. She found it quite quite jarring, because she would normally see only Zhi Ruo's eyes and even then, because of the veil Zhi Ruo's eyes were always blurry. But now, she could see Zhi Ruo's tilting lips.The senior sister could feel Zhi Ruo's aura mystifying upon seeing the mischievous tilt in Zhi Ruo's lips.&

The seniors of the group were quick to inform Zhi Ruo that her grandfather was back. And was waiting for her in her pavilion.On this, Zhi Ruo could not help but look at the quiet Ravel that was standing at the sides."By the way..." Ye Qing Qing spoke up. She glanced at Ravel that was smiling amiably. "I heard the servants on firefly pavilion call you Ravel?"The servant perked up at this, moving his gaze away from the ground when he heard that he was addressed. Looking at Zhi Ruo from the corner of his eyes he slowly nodded at the question."Ah, yes. Previously, I was called Ravel. But master thinks that it was far too foreign, so she assigned me a new name. Which is Duàn Xiaodan. I go by that name now." He explained. "But people in the firefly pavilion calls me w

Apart from whipping the servants to shape, Ravel had considerably cleaned and decorated the whole Pavilion. Most of which Zhi Ruo could see was from the rewards she got of the tomb.Zhi Ruo watched as Ravel approached a wall and hanged her broken mask at the top most corner.Upon noticing Zhi Ruo's stare and the stare of all the people following them. Ravel addressed his actions with a smile."It would look good to hang the young miss's mask like this after she used it." Was his response.Zhi Ruo shrugged, not at all bothered by what Ravel said. Although the servant received odd stares from the people other than Zhi Ruo, he wasn't at all bothered and continued to lead the way to the room where the head of the Ye clan was waiting.

"You are listening right? Come out they wanna meet you." With arms crossed Zhi Ruo leaned back, as she said aloud.There was silence before a person appeared next to Zhi Ruo, the kelpie like hair was the first thing that the people in the room noticed. Next was the towering figure, and then the blank eyes.To say that the eyes of the room didn't go to Tiān Dì the moment Zhōngguó leaned in towards Zhi Ruo's wasn't noticable, was an understatement, even if someone wasn't trying to notice it they will have no choice but to notice it.There was an uncanny resemblance on how Zhōngguó dressed chose to dress himself, with the librarian that was starting to get annoyed by the gazes that he was receiving. It was apparent on Tiān Dì's twitching brows that he did not like the fact that he was being gazed at oddly.

It wasn't until Kohaku's glare could melt the back of Zhi Ruo's head did she sigh and pout, without even looking at his master Zhōngguó walked around the struggling pile, like a child moping around hoping to be fed candy.After a second or two the phantom projection of the very weapon that they had struggle moving, Zhōngguó reached out and plucked the Bo staff away from them.Upon doing that, Ye Qing Qing almost collapsed with relief. Kohaku stood up with wobbling legs, and Tiān Dì merely threw his head back to the ground. It seems like he was almost dead, because his lips was pale when Zhi Ruo peeked at him.Zhōngguó tossed his real body into the hands of Zhi Ruo who caught it with ease."Why is that thing so heavy?!" Tiān Dì's exclaimed, he t

Amidst the laughter of the grandfather and granddaughter duo, the rest of the people in the room went as far to ask Zhōngguó as to what 'growers' mean. The poor phantom projection had to explain to the confused lot, with blank eyes and a helpless smile on his lips.Patriarch Ye was far too busy gushing over Zhi Ruo's weapons, that he forgot to ask about how Zhi Ruo got the weapons.Though it seems like Kohaku did not forget."I get that these are very rare treasures and all, but how did young miss manage to aquire these?" By these, Kohaku meant Zhōngguó and the wraith devourers.Instead of answering, Zhi Ruo called back her wraith devourers and puckered her lips behind her mask."Ah, about that." Zhi Ruo nonchalantly shrug

[An impression]
A day later, and with sufficient rest. The lady took her time to look over her servants to find out what was missing or needed in her pavilion. Ravel mentioned in passing that the food in the pavilion was a bit lacking, the young lady noted this in the back of her head before she handed all her responsibilities to Ravel to handle. The butler, who was already used to this, didn't complain with Zhi Ruo's way of handling things and just calmly proceeded to make schedules. Through all that, Ravel had the time to dress Zhi Ruo up with the help of the other maid servants. Although the servants weren't used to the cosmetics products and skin care products that Zhi Ruo had around. They were quick to learn how to efficiently apply these products to Zhi Ruo's body. Ravel didn't let the maid servants stick around to help Zhi Ruo prep her face. The young lady prepped her own face by herself. In the afternoon, Zhi Ruo went out of her pavilion, and went straight to her grandfather's office where

When Zhi Ruo ascended to her pavilion, she was welcomed by her immaculately attired maids, who combined made for a lovely sight. The girl nodded with satisfaction, her thoughts already praising Ravel's managerial skills. She could tell that Ravel had been careful in his training of the staff. because she failed to see a single hair out of place.His training of the household staff was evident in every corner; not a speck of dust dared to linger, and not a single servant’s uniform bore the faintest wrinkle. After they landed, at the forefront of the welcoming assembly stood her venerable grandfather, Ye Gu Shi, a figure of unshakable dignity, clad in robes that seemed to flow like rivers of ink and silver. Flanking him were her senior brothers, their postures firm as ancient pines, and her sole senior sister, Ye Qing Qing, whose serene presence commanded both grace and authority.He congratulated the people that managed to get far in the tournament.

[Thirty minutes later— landing time...] In the vast expanse stretching near the Sighted Valley, the aircraft descended smoothly, landing without much of a hitch. As the doors opened, Zhi Ruo stepped out with an air of quiet confidence, her movements purposeful and composed. Behind her, Ravel followed closely, his demeanor attentive as ever.The other contestants had already gathered in the designated drop-off area, their murmurs filling the space as they watched the new arrivals. Zhi Ruo took a steady step, her gaze sweeping over the (still) ufamiliar faces. The last time she had been here, she had been left unnoticed, easily dismissed, and barely given a second glance by the crowd. But today was different. This time, all eyes were on her, a subtle shift in their expressions was apparent.This was not the same indifferent reception she had received during her first arrival; this time, she was far from overlooked. There's this hushed silence that blanketed the whole place, Zhi Ruo wa

[Yapperist]
Thirty minutes before their scheduled landing, a soft knock echoed through the quiet hallway as Ravel, the ever-dutiful butler, rapped his knuckles on Zhi Ruo’s door. He stood there, impeccably dressed as always, though his usual calm demeanor was tinged with something more urgent.The butler proceeded to inform that he got from the patriarch to Zhi Ruo. Ultimately, and very quickly, betraying the contract he had with his master's grandfather.Zhi Ruo who had just woken up after getting a 3 hour power nap, couldn't get a word in after she was bombarded with Ravel's information dump. She could only let her butler in wordlessly, and led him to the table where he continued to babble on.She, on the other hand, had other plans. After guiding Ravel to the table, Zhi Ruo didn’t bother sitting across from him. Instead, she walked right back to her bed, not even pretending to be interested in the deluge of information spilling from her butler. With a sigh, she plopped face-first onto the matt

Ye Gu Shi sat up straight his eyes gazing down at Ravel's form. He felt awfully overwhelming, that the butler who was just acting could not help but break into genuine cold sweat. "Ravel, I will now ask you to use that strength to aid me for a bit." The patriarch's voice reached Ravel's ears, Ye Gu Shi was solemn as he asked, it was obvious that he put great importance to this, that much Ravel could tell.Ravel furrowed his brows, his gaze still lowered on the floor. "May I ask what this is about?" He ventured out carefully, Ravel could almost feel the worried frown on Ye Gu Shi's face even though he did not dare to raise his eyes at this moment.There was a deep sigh that reverberated in the room, Ye Gu Shi almost seemed tired and worried all at once. This made the butler more curious than he would ever care to admit. "I know you have hidden your strength for quite some time, I hoped that you would be willing to use that strength to protect my granddaughter." His request came out lik

There was something deeply unsettling about the atmosphere in the room, an almost palpable tension that seemed to cloak the space and instill a sense of unease in anyone who crossed its threshold. However, it appears to be like the two men had not noticed each other's gazes as they were blatantly sizing each other up.There was a rather interesting look on Ravel's face as his face adorned a smile that even Zhi Ruo would find rather creepy. On the other hand, the Patriarch seemed entirely absorbed in his own thoughts, completely unaware of Ravel’s unnerving expression. His focus remained on the steaming cup of tea in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly as he took a slow, deliberate sip.There was nothing that Ravel could do but wait in silence with his impregnable smile.'Master has said that she has plans to deal with her grandfather when it comes 'with her secrets'.

[Luck]
Zhōngguó made a face in my direction, a clear attempt to provoke or elicit some sort of reaction. However, it didn't bother me in the slightest. If anything, it only made my amusement grow. I could feel a small smile tugging at the corner of my lips, but I chose not to indulge him. My attention gradually shifted away, and I soon ignored the weapon who was clearly trying to rile me up for his own entertainment. The soft hum that drifted from his direction served as a quiet backdrop, but I paid it no mind, busying myself with putting the petals away in their proper place."Why aren't you as excited as I thought you'd be?" His voice broke through the quiet, carrying a tone of curiosity. By now, he had already made himself comfortable, sprawled lazily across my bed like it was his own personal lounging spot. I could feel his eyes on me.With a quiet sigh, I swept my fringe away from my face, tucking the stray strands behind my ear. Slowly, I raised my head from the mask I had been inspect

[Zhōngguó awakened]
My back straightened instinctively, a subtle tremor running through my hands as I stood among the sea of petals. The air was thick with the fragrance of flowers, in its own way, it was almost eerie. Each delicate bloom seemed to pulse with life, amplifying the excitement I could barely contain. If Ravel was here to see my expression, he would have called me a lunatic despite his upbringing.Still, it would have been weird if I wasn't excited upon receiving such a huge landfall. The realization that I could wield a law without ever fully mastering it was nothing short of incredible. It wasn't just any law either—it was one that felt deeply familiar, intricately woven into my life through the teachings of my master. The humm in my consciousness made me realize the true potential of the petals around me.But the excitement soon faded, the initial rush of wonder slipping away as the petals around me vanished at my command. With just a single thought, they retreated, condensing into a su

[The first law]
Although Zhi Ruo isn't entirely sure how Ravel levels up or even how her butler continues to grow stronger, she is certain of one thing: Ravel has the ability to level up. It's a fact she doesn't fully understand but has come to accept nonetheless. Zhi Ruo's puckered up her lips unconsciously. Her thoughts shifted to the state her contracts were in.Zhi Ruo finally tore her gaze away from the sapling, reluctantly pulling back her heightened senses so that she was no longer acutely aware of the intricate state of her contracts. With her focus shifting, her eyes settled on a delicate flower resting quietly a short distance away, its presence unassuming yet somehow captivating. Her expression remained mostly unchanged, though a faint glimmer of curiosity surfaced in her eyes. Having finished evaluating the first prize, Zhi Ruo turned her attention to the second, the one she had chosen at random. Naturally, it was the flowerInside the glass box sat an unassuming flower, its petals perf
