Thump! Thump! Thump!

The soft sound of hammer hitting wood echoed into the whole courtyard, though it doesn't seem to look like a courtyard. More like a workplace by all the resources gathered neatly outside the hall, and the dozen or so people coming in and out like on a busy day at the firm.

Zhi Ruo marveled at the buff macho man that looked like gym rats that greeted them as they walked in. Immediately as they stepped into the building, the stench of saw dust, and some oddly weird ointment waft into their noses greeting them with utmost manlyness.

"This is?" Zhi Ruo ventured aloud. 

"The workplace for the craftmaster." Kohaku nodded his head to a direction. "Please follow me, I will be leading you to who is in charge of this place." He walked as he talked to Zhi Ruo whow as avidly p

    If someone heard what Zhi Ruo was muttering about in her heart then they would've vomited blood and cursed Zhi Ruo for her lofty words. They would pound their chest in frustration and in envy if they really found out that Zhi Ruo was actually speaking the truth.Considering the fact that Zhi Ruo continuously and swiftly broke through the ranks within just a few days. It would have been a socially shattering news to people if they ever found out.One must know that it wasn't very hard to enter the ranks of cultivation, but, it doesn't mean it's the same in breaking through each ranks. Zhi Ruo was already Gathering; Concentration rank 4 without much effort, and to people her around her age that has started cultivating the moment they learned how to talk.

    Zhi Ruo and Tiān Dì stared at each other, Tiān Dì was more or less starting to get annoyed at Zhi Ruo's veil. While Zhi Ruo was starting to get impatient at Tiān Dì's stupid assistant. She swears the assistant was dragging the retrieval of the artifact on purpose.Tiān Dì sighed, finally relenting at staring. Finding it bothersome and unfair that all he can glare at, is Zhi Ruo's veil."Look, overestimating yourself is never a good thing." He started crossing his arms and leaning back at the table, solemnly looking at Zhi Ruo's figure as he tried to explain where he was coming from. "It's alright to ask for help, being prideful won't help." He said, watching attentively for any signs of emotions on Zhi Ruo.Zhi Ruo resisted the urge to pinch her nose in an attempt on staying calm. "If I can prove to you,

    In the end Zhi Ruo did not go and pick out a cultivation scroll in the library, she opted to leave the place as soon as she could. For the rest of the day she took some books and ended up pretending to study in her room halting anyone who tried to approach her.Including the new servants that was assigned to her.She holed herself up in the room pretending to study, but she adeptly cultivated all day long at the end. Ravel had to pretend that he had delivered the meals to her, because Zhi Ruo forbid him on disturbing her when she was cultivating.Within just another night, Zhi Ruo broke through Gathering; Concentration rank 5. The servants were tactful enough to notice that there was something going on with their young miss. But they did not feel that was anything bad so decided to silently do their job.<

    Kohaku sighed in his seat and opened his mouth. "Like I said, though the young miss is already at Gathering; Concentration rank 5. It is barely passable to be able to enter the hunting grounds. Especially since some of the higher beasts wonder closely in the borders." He started as he motioned to the vast expense outside the window."If the young miss enters with just your realm alone as your backbone, it would be disastrous as you might encounter some higher level beasts." He smiled wryly as he added. "And judging from young miss's attitude, you seem to want to work alone so I won't be able to come with you."Zhi Ruo could not help but quirk her brows and laughed aloud when she heard the accurate description her senior brother laid upon her. "Then senior brother knows that even if you try to stop this young miss, you won't be able to succeed." Amused, she beheld as Kohaku sighed in res

    Ravel was smart enough to catch on from all the words that Zhi Ruo had spoken. And he stood tall from beside his master all the while occasionally updating Zhi Ruo with each of the servants achievements in the past times that he had observed.The servants were uneducated, but it doesn't mean that they aren't smart in their own way.Years of being in their position, one can only survive if they are shrewd enough. It was clear to them that Zhi Ruo had planted Ravel to spy on them to see of they were worthy enough. A pleasant misunderstanding, though it was not far from the truth.If Zhi Ruo knew of the things that they have made up, she would not care. Amused, she would be, but she won't spare a second glance at it. This was Ravel's job, he handles the servants.The offers that Zhi Ruo

    The first thing that Zhi Ruo encountered was a mangled piece of corpse. It crawled with it's legs and it's arms were dangling; evidently broken. She had just walked roughly around 5 minutes straight on the path, and the slowly the path was a path no more.The trees were closing in, and they loomed over Zhi Ruo. Their heights reached the clouds. And the deeper she walked, the trees also grew thicker and she could no longer see the crown of the trees.The corpse was the first thing that Zhi Ruo encountered, that could be counted as a monster. Briefly Zhi Ruo wonders if the corpse used to be a human. As she could see the clothes that was ragged in soot, and the clear distinction of the ruddy dried color of blood.She was about to steer away from such monster when she was stunned to see a window pop up on her vision. It was the system.

    Zhi Ruo heaved a sigh, seeing the Nogral coming at her with a furious snort. She was well aware that once a beast that was once alive and not born into an undead beforehand, turns into an undead creature loses its ability to have a complete thought. And only it's instincts remain.This would also mean that the undead creature cannot use it's inborn abilities or skills as it turns into an undead creature.That is what's happening with the Nogral right now, Zhi Ruo doesn't understand how that hair like tree could control the Nogral. But it was apparent that the Nogral's instincts was stronger than whatever that hair like tree had done.The Nogral was responding to Zhi Ruo this way, because it was threatened by her presence. And because it was threatened, it sought to fight back.Zhi Ruo jumpe

    The man better be glad that Zhi Ruo was meters apart from him or she would've have punched him out of allergic reaction. Zhi Ruo is allergic to people that has something stuck up to their asses you see.Zhi Ruo heaved a breath, "I don't like you, I hope you know that." She uttered staring directly at the man in front of her.And just like any man that reached for immortality, the pride and ego was carved deep into his soul and plastered into his bones, and so reflecting on his skin. The man scoffed dully when he heard Zhi Ruo.He could not underestimate Zhi Ruo as she came out from nowhere and nonchalantly massacred the horde, and saved them in the process. But it doesn't mean he wasn't confident in his abilities, in doing this though, he could not do anything but just show his. dissatisfaction

    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. The ordeal was done in a solemn man

    [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

    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'.

    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

    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
