Reborn in another world [If taking food was a bribe, then Yu Zhúlín considered himself bribed]
Yu Zhúlín looked away from Ravel's expression. His own brows were furrowing and he revealed a small discontented frown on his face. He moved his shoulders, and shrugged."Were you the one that saved me?" He asked, already knowing the full incompetency of the team of medics that was attending on the tournament. It made Yu Zhúlín wonder if they truly had saved someone's life with the level of expertise that they are showing. Surely not. It was hard for him to see these group of medics helped save anyone in a life threatening situation. The best these people could do was nurse up some scratches and prop up some dislocated joints here and there. So when Yu Zhúlín asked if Ravel saved him, he already knew the answer even before hearing it.And truly to his expectations. Ravel nodded, however, the butler shook his head afterwards. "You know, I follow a master right?" The Butler said knowingly. "Would I really act to my own accord to save you, sir Yu Zhúlín?" He added, there was a mischie
Reborn in another world [Extra time]
However, before Yu Zhúlín could reply a set of footsteps appeared behind Ravel. The door swung open, and Ravel turned around to see his master —and Yu Zhúlín's young miss and junior sister— standing at the doorway with a trace of frown on her masked face. From the distance between them, Ravel and Yu Zhúlín, they could feel the ire that was coming off Zhi Ruo. The smile on Ravel's face faltered, and as if it was his instincts, he went near Zhi Ruo to stand at her side. "Master," Ravel greeted, he bowed to Zhi Ruo who only proceeded to nod at his direction. There was a trace of apprehension on Yu Zhúlín's face that wasn't hidden, even after he lowered his head and bowed towards Zhi Ruo's direction. Zhi Ruo's eyes surveyed and scanned the room, and noticed the bloody mess Yu Zhúlín's blood made with a critical eye. She ignored the vague restlessness in Ravel's stance and faced the two men in the room. "Why were you guys taking so long?" She asked, she crossed her arms over her chest a
Reborn in another world ["He didn't know that he would get that far" neither did I—]
Zhi Ruo's words fell like a heavy weight, plunging the room into an uncomfortable silence. Yu Zhúlín and Ravel exchanged glances, their eyes meeting in a momentary connection that spoke volumes. Zhi Ruo, keenly observant, caught the unspoken exchange, but chose to remain silent, tilting her head slightly as if to acknowledge the hidden meaning she had perceived. Confused as to what the two talked about beforehand for them to have an interaction like this. "I am healed, but I'm grateful to have some extra time to gather myself back up." Yu Zhúlín nodded, not a hint of mischievousness and ignorance was seen on his face. "I am not exactly in the right state of clothing, as you can see." Yu Zhúlín motioned to his half naked body. Zhi Ruo's understanding nod carried a hint of empathy as she resonated with Yu Zhúlín's predicament. She, too, yearned for the luxury of time, a precious respite from the impending task that loomed over her. However, her loyal butler's presence and her own inna

"I'd tell them now if possible," Yu Zhúlín started a frown marred his face, "But the temptation of staying here and getting as much rest that I could is very much still on the table. And it definitely outweighs my want on going and informing the staff." He shrugged helplessly, like he could not do anything about it.Zhi Ruo scoffed at his direction taking in his shameless frown— no wait, he is smiling now. That idiot. "If you don't want to inform them, then I will have my servant inform them." Zhi Ruo didn't like wasting time, unless she was wasting time so that 'she' could waste time. And not the other way around.The expression on Yu Zhúlín's face broke, because he forgot Zhi Ruo could do those things. He may have given up on fighting to the next round, but it didn't mean that it hurt his pride. Zhi Ruo going and sending out Ravel in his place to announce that he was giving up hurt his ego more than he expects it to be.As Yu Zhúlín's face registered a mix of surprise, disappointmen

It was to the point that even Zhi Ruo was impressed by the things that he said, not even once did a curse word repeat. The younger girl had half the mind to pull out a notepad and start jolting down notes for further reference."What the fuck do mean when you said that he won't be fighting on the next round? He's forfeiting?" Alberu asked for clarifications, like he could not believe that Yu Zhúlín even have a thought of giving up when he had a another chance. Like it was simply unheard of."You heard my servant, are you deaf or something? Why must you ask for a clarification." Exasperated, Zhi Ruo rolled her eyes at Alberu's antics. She still doesn't get the theatrics that the masked man was pushing through. Her first impression of the masked man wasn't like THIS, what changed? Apparently many things did.Alberu ignored Zhi Ruo's words, "Did I beat him that hard? He is
Reborn in another world [Drapetomania]
Alberu shot Zhi Ruo a spur of a look seeing the food that was laid out in front of her. Everytime he tries to reach out for a bite, Ravel was there to swat his hands away with a smile— Alberu internally grumbles that although Ravel's smile was consider angelic, when it was directed to him like that, he can't help but be annoyed. And it was becoming apparent that Zhi Ruo was enjoying his struggle of stealing some food, and without him outwardly just asking her for some."Bastard," Alberu sorely muttered, his eyes darting on the food with jealousy that Zhi Ruo was visible rubbing his face with. However even after his words reached Zhi Ruo's ears, the girl only heard a bitter man that could not procure his own delicious food."Deal with it," Zhi Ruo chucked a bone an Alberu's direction, watching the object fly and was dodge with the masked man with ease. The girl however, caught a lag in the masked man's actions that made her ponder silently."What?" Alberu snapped at Zhi Ruo's directio

"What is up with the delay?" His voice, laced with annoyance, pierced the quiet of the room, echoing off the walls like a dissonant melody. As he strode purposefully inside, the familiar face of the seasoned practitioner of the flights emerged from the shadows, drawing the attention of all present. A collective gaze turned towards him, a silent acknowledgment of his arrival, yet the air remained thick with unspoken tension, pregnant with anticipation for what would unfold next. In that suspended moment, every breath held its own story, every heartbeat a whispered tale, weaving together a narrative of expectation and uncertainty that hung palpably in the stillness of the room."Contestant Yu Zhúlín relinquished the fight against contestants Ye Zhi Ruo," announced one of the practitioners in the room, his hands flipping over a stack of official tournament papers adorned with the authoritative seal. "The decision has received approval from the overseers. Contestant Ye Zhi Ruo is now sla
Reborn in another world [Masked encounter]
Zhi Ruo entered the arena, her steps imbued with a delicate grace that seemed incongruous for someone about to engage in combat. The softness in her footfalls contrasted sharply with the anticipation that hung in the air, as if she carried a secret that defied the expectations of those watching. A gentle, almost malleable smile graced Zhi Ruo's face, its softness belying the intensity of the situation. However, her eyes held an unsettling quality, devoid of any discernible light. Staring into them felt as though one was peering into the pit of the abyss, an abyss that held secrets and depths that remained concealed from prying eyes.In stark contrast to Zhi Ruo's serene presence, the masked man bounded into the arena, seemingly intoxicated by the pulsating energy of the crowd. With arms outstretched, he embraced the cheers that reverberated around him, reveling in the cacophony of sound. His gaze danced from one corner of the venue to another, absorbing the kaleidoscope of colorful l

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

[Grace In The Fireflies]
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

[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

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
