Reborn in another world [Double elemental master]
"Well, let me see what you have." Zhi Ruo brandished her weapon. And the ancient weapon vibrated dully. Like it was being awakened. The air was hot, but it didn't effect Zhi Ruo one bit, she has faced much more painful heat from her wraith devourers than this pretty little trick Han Wanran was doing.'He's a double elemental master.' Zhi Ruo summed up. She doesn't have any proof now, but she has a gut feeling that it is. She looked as Han Wanran stayed fine even under the heat that he induced. After all, to be able to produce fire doesn't mean it grants you instant immunity from it.With keep eyes, Zhi Ruo watched as a steady stream of steam came out from her opponent's pores. 'Water?' Zhi Ruo thought, the element immediately came up in her mind. Her cautious nature proved to be useful, because she actually already guessed Han Wanran's second element.Water. Fire, and water was an unlikely combo, though Zhi Ruo guessed that Han Wanran probably didn't use his fire ability because of t

Han Wanran choked on his spit, as the air was knocked out of his system. The moment he was hit higher in to the air, the wraith devourers were quick to act, and was chasing the flying Han Wanran through the air. Their intend was shown bluntly, it was apparent that they wanted him to get burned.With blurry eyes, Han Wanran muttered something under his breath. And a ball of water instantly enveloped his entire body. As the wraith devourers got nearer, Han Wanran realized the the air was threatening to burn him alive if he did not do something. In the heat of the moment, he conjured up a ball of water to try and subdue the heat. However, he could not maintain the temperature of the water. In the end he let the water disapate in the air, if he was still stubborn on keeping the water as is, he would have been cooked alive.Which was something he wasn't planning on doing yet. Han Wanran's body slowed down his ascension to the sky. He wasn't propelled higher anymore. Rather, right now, he

"look at her go.""I bet my good money on her, she better win.""That weapon sure is amazing, to be able to withstand that throw. Even with the barrier on, I swore my eardrums is still ringing.""Forget about the weapon, did you see the damage the weapon made to that other guy? That must have hurt.""Hurt would be and understatement I tell you.""I'm surprised that the guy is still alive. If I was him, I would have already died on the spot.""Brother, you can't compare yourself to the people that are on the path of cultivation.""I'm just saying, you didn't have to take it far too literally."The fight continued, however, Han Wanran wasn't dreading the fact that he will crash down. He was now dreading the fact that he 'could not' come down. Even if he wanted to. He was now trying to find ways to make his body touch the ground, but he wasn't a wind elementalist. He could not weave his body through the air naturally.He had two to three broken ribs now, and because he was in the air, an
Reborn in another world [Fighting fire with fire]
Han Wanran let a curse slip past his lips, his knees buckled under pressure of Zhōngguó's doing. The water disk under him rippled, as it withstood the pressure. Han Wanran furrowed his brows, as his concentration was slipping slowly. His eyes flickered towards Zhi Ruo, who stood with her arms outstretched towards his direction."Alright." Zhi Ruo replied, she nodded slowly, but mostly to herself. "I'll do something about it since I don't like it." She continued. Her fingers curled into a fist. And slowly, Han Wanran felt the gravity increased. He felt like he was being suffocated by nothing, the panic in his eyes was palpable.With pale lips, and almost blank eyes. Han Wanran managed to raise his hand, though he was struggling, the water disk under him didn't break down like Zhi Ruo wanted to, merely rippled. With his arms outstretched like Zhi Ruo's, a word slipped past Han Wanran's lips."Fold." Was the word that he managed to utter. And without warning. Two walls rose from beside
Reborn in another world [A damn shame]
At some point, Han Wanran managed to catch Zhi Ruo. And it wasn't long before he was pointing the tips of his blades unto Zhi Ruo's neck as he struggled under the influence of Zhōngguó. Han Wanran proved to be a challenging opponent, as he could move even under all of Zhi Ruo's weapons and Zhi Ruo herself.However, Zhi Ruo wasn't the type of person to back down. She was quick to take advantage, of all the opportunities Han Wanran revealed to her. Seeing that her opponent came into her willingly, Zhi Ruo thought that it would have been a damn shame if she just let it pass by. Zhi Ruo made sure that the wraith devourers were satisfied, the twin flames were having fun devouring the clearly lacking skills of Han Wanran. But of course, Zhi Ruo took a page from Alberu's book and decided to act the part of the underdog, but she was never defeated. But it was odd, because she was portraying the role of the underdog perfectly. But she didn't stumble, nor did she flinch, she never gave the in

However, Zhi Ruo stuck to Han Wanran. Close. And it was visible that she was adamant on getting Han Wanran unto a state that was most advantageous for her. In this case, burning off Han Wanran's face would certainly be a good opportunity for her. The girl did not feel any remorse, even after she could see Han Wanran struggling.Unlike Zhi Ruo, who had the skill to resist fire and basically be immune to all heat or fire related stuff. Han Wanran did not have such skills at his disposal. He managed to claw off Zhi Ruo's fingers, breaking the digits as he did so. Making time for him to escape and move away.Zhi Ruo didn't even bother to let out a sound of pain, she watched as Han Wanran moved, running away from her. She didn't waste her energy trying to catch up with her opponent, their wasn't much space that he could take advantage, and hide on. The girl looked at her broken fingers, that was the first time she used the influence the wraith devourers had given her. Because the wraith d
Reborn in another world [Who says I'm fine?]
However, Han Wanran's face was slowly becoming more worst as the time passed by. His joints creeked of exhaustion, visibly not used to this kind of fight. Largely relying on hand to hand combat with his opponent, not throwing spells in the air like this and not even hitting the intended target.Zhi Ruo too, was tired and exhausted. Even more so than Han Wanran, who was leaps higher in terms of realm. But because Han Wanran's foundation wasn't as strong as his realm, it allowed Zhi Ruo to fight on even terms with him. However, as the time passed by, Zhi Ruo could not keep up with her MP consumption that she had to pause and eat a whole pill in the middle of battle.A bold and risky move, nonetheless Zhi Ruo's body was used to this kind of burden on a daily basis that Zhi Ruo 'herself' did not notice it. As for why Zhi Ruo did not mind this was because of her skill 'regeneration' that was far too busy healing and helping her with her wounds. It could not keep up with her MP consumption,
Reborn in another world [Winner² chicken dinner]
The appearance of the rolling blue and red veins on Zhi Ruo's arms took Han Wanran by surprise. He could not stop the twitch that appeared on his eyes upon laying his gaze on it. He instantly recognized what Zhi Ruo was suffered from. He also instantly recognized the burns along Zhi Ruo's palms.Zhi Ruo was suffering from Qi overload, and Qi exhaustion at the same time. Han Wanran could not fanthom how Zhi Ruo was still alive, he could also not believe the fact that his opponent hid this type of pain so easily. If Zhi Ruo didn't reveal this, he would have never known that she went through this.However, seeing that his opponent wasn't as untouchable as he thought she was. This greatly reduced the pressure on Han Wanran shoulders. Turns out that Zhi Ruo who his attacks would never fully work on, wasn't as uninjured as he thought.Given though, the injury wasn't directly caused by him. But it still counted... somewhat.."How are you even standing?" In his awe, Han Wanran could not stop

[Surveillance] pt 2
The young women heard the middle aged woman's words, turned to look at the woman's hands who was dearly gripping the wine guard, and with a last huff she stayed silent. She looked resigned almost, as if she didn't want to argue anymore. Only the downturn of her lips were apparent in her features as she gaze blankly ahead.Seeing the silent treatment that the young women was putting on, the middle aged man's lips upturned into a smirk. The smugness was radiating off him as he straightened his back, the self assured confidence that radiated off him disgusted everyone in the room. Watching him put on a coat that was far too big for his status couldn't stop the looks of contempt that was shot on his way.As if he didn't notice the look that everyone was shooting at him. The middle aged man's eyes trailed away from the riches that the host was putting up to sell, and unto the pile of gold that was set at the corner of the room. Hi
[Surveillance]
Zhi Ruo's focus was on the host the moment the auction started, she placed her chin on the palm of her hand as she leaned on her knees looking ahead. Yuan Chuanli on the other hand, crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair, over looking the whole event with a 'ah, finally' written all over his face.Though his haughtiness was apparent on his face— well written on his facial expressions— the fact that his eyes kept in flickering on the other private rooms (much like the one that they were inside now) couldn't be kept hidden. At least, not from Zhi Ruo who was keenly aware of everything that was happening 10 meters around her."No matter how much you turn your head towards those rooms, you would never see what is inside them." Zhi Ruo spoke out, her eyes didn't leave the host who was explaining the rules of the auction per instructions. "Just keep your eyes peeled, the auction is just getting started." Her voice lightly adviced.
[Telltale]
[Qiao Liwei Auction house]Zhi Ruo gracefully accepted the outstretched hand offered by Ravel, who was dressed in his servant clothes. The only difference was, he had taken upon himself to don a white mask with no holes for the eyes nose and mouth. Stepping down from the carriage they had taken from the opulent mansion after their— quote on quote "satisfying lunch", she found Yuan Chuanli awaiting their arrival. As he had went out before her.His imposing figure stood tall, the clan's emblem prominently displayed on his back, drawing curious gazes from onlookers nearby. Both the participants of the auction and the bystanders that had nothing else to do but waut outside the auction house to try and take a good look of the rarely seem rich people.Zhi Ruo stepped beside Yuan Chuanli with a similar robe on her shoulders, adorning the Ye clan symbol of a similar fashion. She didn't mind the stares that was aimed at her, because in the first place, she didn't want to hide, nor cared to hid
[The Mansion]
With a brisk and determined pace, one that Yuan Chuanli grew to familiarize, Zhi Ruo arrived at the mansion she knew so well. Well, as much you can know from the daily reports of your butler that is. As she stepped inside, she couldn't help but notice the striking metamorphosis that had taken place. The familiar building and grounds remained, yet the ambiance and energy of the house had undergone a remarkable transformation. As Zhi Ruo led the way, Yuan Chuanli quietly followed, his initial grumbling fading away. Their path unveiled a street of lavish grandeur, unmistakably tailored for the privileged few who could afford such opulence. Yuan Chuanli couldn't help but entertain the thought that Zhi Ruo had led them astray. However, any words that formed on his lips died as his tongue was suddenly glued to the top of his mouth, he observed Zhi Ruo confidently and nonchalantly enter one of the most expansive estates.
[The Maid's Incompetence]
Yuan Chuanli stretched his hands upwards his shoulders popping in the motion, his face sported a refreshed look of satisfaction as he went out of the building with light steps. Obviously in a good mood. In the far distance, he could see Zhi Ruo's figure as she talked with her butler. He could not see Zhi Ruo's expression, but he certainly can see Ravel's.Without wasting anytime, he made his way towards the two with a look of inquiry. "The auction will start around one in the afternoon, it's still daytime and we haven't even gotten our lunch yet. What does the young miss intend to do?" Yuan Chuanli folded his hands underneath his clothes as he walked towards the duo.Upon hearing Yuan Chuanli, Ravel nodded his head. "Deciple Yuan Chuanli is right young miss, it would be advisable to eat before we attend the auction." Like a responsible servant, Ravel suggested to follow Yuan Chuanli's words. The two looked at Zhi Ruo's mask,
[Tassle]
The servant with the tassle smiled upon hearing Zhi Ruo's words, it was a tight lipped smile, as if she was saying that she knew something Zhi Ruo didn't. "It was the head that gave the order to give this to the young miss. I am to inform you that the resources that you chose and won from the tournament, along with the deed of the training ground, the plaque of the noble title, and the merit points, are inside the plaque in your hands."The servant's hands motioned for the rest of the servants in the room to line up at the sides, earning Yuan Chuanli's silent gaze. Zhi Ruo raised her brows upon hearing the servant's words, she then tied the plaque in the insides of her robe after shooting a nod towards the servant with a tassle."The head has had the heiress plaque be customize so that it can store storage now. The patriarch advices the young miss to not lose the plaque because it has now become more valuable than a mansion in the capital." The
[She's the heir]
Yuan Chuanli raised his hands and clenched on thin air as if he was clawing the clear sky above him, his face was red with unconcealed rage, and he looked close to launching himself towards Zhi Ruo. Who, even without showing the expression on her face because of her mask, still manage to annoy him to no end.Yuan Chuanli quickly realized that pretenses were useless in front of the person who is like Zhi Ruo. Because regardless of how you act in front of her her, in the end, if she is in the mood, you would be left coughing up blood in rage. Yuan Chuanli wasn't called 'boy genius ' for nothing, as he learned fast. And Yuan Chuanli learned to stop trying to control his emotions in front of Zhi Ruo, because Zhi Ruo wouldn't care if he broke his 'boy genius' façade anyways. The boy genius cannot help but feel rather offended of this somehow.But before he could do anything drastic, a woman greeted Yuan Chuanli
[Curious]
"Interesting people you say..." The owner echoed Alberu's words. The side of her lips pulled up in a quirk. A flash of uncertainty crossed her eyes looking at the representative of the Liu clan being led by her staff. 'Those guys are pretty bold to come inside without any disguises, are they not afraid of others spreading rumours? It's already bad enough that General Liu is already rumoured to have taken a bad turn in terms of his health. Now his people are coming in so brazenly. How careless, to think they even displayed their logo so proudly on their chests.' Yang Meixiang closed her fan, and tapped it gently on her palm, her thoughts were full of dissatisfaction towards the representatives of the Liu clan. Full of judgement she may have, but she could not voice these thoughts aloud.'Its also very unusual for his two concubine borne daughters to not appear in the socialite circles. In most cases, in big auctions like these, they are usually the first in line to book a private roo
[Information]
As if he doesn't know what was running through Yang Meixiang's head, Alberu turned his head and was heading straight towards the seat that was meant for the owner of the room. Which mind you, wasn't him.The owner could not help but break her expression upon seeing Alberu's audacity. It was clear to her that the masked man never put her in his eyes. But she could only open and close her mouth, knowing that she cannot afford to step on the toes of this young man. The fan on her hand fluttered quickly for a split second before Yang Meixiang chose to quietly regain her bearings. "Indeed I am busy these days..." The masked man crossed his legs as he made himself comfortable in Yang Meixiang's seat. "I hear you sell information?" He promptly changed the topic, his head tilting towards Yang Meixiang's direction. Even without seeing his eyes, Yang Meixiang knew that the young master wasn't in the mood for joking or beating around
