2022-06-04 20:22:00Zhi Ruo felt the handle in her hand, the more she felt on it the more she realized that the candle holder was something special. Well, she should've known better. As it held the fire that could even burn her hand even just by being beside it.
"This special too?" She asked the air.
"Yes," came in the pillar's response. It suddenly felt nervous when it saw Zhi Ruo's nonchalant attitude. "Please focus challenger, for I am about to lift up the restriction."
Zhi Ruo sighed. The heat of two strange fire beside her scorched her clothes little by little. She found that if she doesn't do anything her decency would be at stake. So she gritted her teeth in frustration and coated her clothes with a thin layer of Qi.
She made a mental note to herself that she should invest in some good clothes, if she w

The fallen demon realized that it could never win in terms of verbal assault when it comes to Zhi Ruo. It felt swindled, why is that tye mortal in front of it felt more like a devil than itself. It made the fallen demon feel uncomfortable."What is yoga!?" The fallen demon screeched again, it's jaws unhinged and a large amount of water came out from it's mouth. Which Zhi Ruo learned to dodge pretty quickly as she saw the water freeze rapidly.She opted to remain silent seeing that the fallen demon was a terrible conversation partner. The silence that Zhi Ruo made, had the falling demon feel uncomfortable by a real shot. The poor demon bastard could not even fathom why it was feeling so uncomfortable, it had never met a human like Zhi Ruo before.The demon was running out of steam now, its attack's were useless against Zhi Ruo's fire.

It was portruilding and bulging and Zhi Ruo knew what it was. Iit was almost gentle, how Zhi Ruo gouged out the fallen demon's forehead with her fingers. That was the pillar's description towards Zhi Ruo's actions.But the truth was Zhi Ruo was just far too tired, and thus her actions were slow. She hummed in satisfaction when her fingers cracked the skull of the fallen demon, the expression on the corpse was almost sickening to watch as blood fell from it it's eyes. The pillar stayed silent.Zhi Ruo didn't stop digging her fingers on to the insignia, until her hands touched something hard among the brain matters that she touched. Her fingers curled and she dug out the core of the fallen demon.Perking up, Zhi Ruo remembered something. She didn't turn around, but she asked the pillar. "How do you extract a complete soul?"

She could feel something locking into her soul, a bit different yet a familiar feeling rose from underneath her eyes. Zhi Ruo could feel Ravel perking up. The shitty connection she has with Ravel finally let up as soon as she formed a contract with the pillar."And the wraith devourers?" Zhi Ruo asked, the pillar hummed in affirmation."I would have not recommended to master in getting the wraith devourers, since you, master, would have died if you ever went near to it." The pillar explained, "But it seems like master has some immunity with the wraith devourers, then it is fairly easy to get them. Master just need to beckon them.""Beckon them? How exactly?" Tilting her head she gazed at the candle holders where the fires were situated.After a good second, Zhi Ruo waved her hand to one of

Zhi Ruo's head whirled, finding how the man's way of dressing was similar with a certain someone that was running at the library. "Do you not recognize me master?" The familiar voice of the pillar left the guy's mouth, his black hair— like ink, was swept by the side. And Zhi Ruo saw his eyes, it was grey and blank as a blind man's eyes. But it only served and added to the serene picture the man created with his silent beauty. "You are the pillar," Zhi Ruo affirmed looking at the handsome man. She licked her dry lips when the man nodded. "Correction, I am the phantom of the pillar." The man went down in Zhi Ruo's level. But even then, he was still a head taller than her. "The pillar is my real body, and this is the projection of my spirit." The guys scratched his head almost sheepishly, his blank eyes looking at Zhi Ruo.

Zhi Ruo ignored how Zhōngguó tilted his head, his blank expression almost innocent. She casted a suspicious glance in his way before she resigned and looked at the ring in her hand.She peeked inside the ring, and found out it was slightly inferior to the ring that she had on her other hand. She didn't mind though, at least it looked pretty.She swept the sight that she saw inside, that was fairly easy to do since the space was smaller that she ewas used to. Inside were numerous male clothes thrown around, all of were in high quality. Some pieces of armor, and ornaments.She guessed that she can sell those clothes, or she'd give them to Ravel for him to deal with it. Giving it to the people sitting ducks at her mansion could be a good idea. At least she won't have to buy some daily necessities specifically for males.<

"Our business here is done," Zhi Ruo turned to look at Zhōngguó, she was being careful now. Trying not to worsen the state of her clothes. "Get me out Zhōngguó.""Yes." Zhōngguó nodded, he went around the room one last time. Before he stopped where he was situated as a pillar. His feet touched the place, and without warning, a large Qi circle emerged from the ground. The place lit up with a new blueish light.Zhi Ruo narrowed her eyes at circle, feeling the familiar type of array. Zhōngguó was waiting for her inside the circle, so she didn't waste enough time and went inside with him.The qi circle shrunk around Zhi Ruo and through Zhōngguó. With a flash both of them were transported out of the tomb at last.'Finally' Zhi Ruo breathed in. And opened her ey

Cool eyes surveyed Zhi Ruo's appearance quickly, and a laugh escaped from Ravel mouth thereafter. He covered his mouth late enough for Zhi Ruo to shoot him a dirty glare. Ravel shook his head, and approached Zhi Ruo in the process."It seems like master is indeed fine." Ravel remained in his dark haired glory and servant outfit. Rendering Zhi Ruo speechless when he still tried to contain his chuckles.Zhi Ruo rolled her eyes at the display. Before she waved her hand dismissively. "Bring me a change of clothes will you?" She sat down tiredly."Will a robe suffice?" Ravel held up a black robe and a sash in his hand. "I didn't bring anything other than this, I didn't know that master would look like a roasted chicken afterwards." Zhi Ruo nodded and took the robe and sash from Ravel's hand."Wa

"By escapade you mean?""I mean about the fact that you rescued your fellow clansman which resulted them coming in the Sighted Valley with their lives intact."Zhi Ruo must have made a face because Ravel's lips twitched almost a little too fast for Zhi Ruo to notice. He played with the edge of the white mask that Zhi Ruo discarded, as he thought, it seems like his master was just truly doing everything by a whim."I didn't save shit." Zhi Ruo spat out, but Ravel remained unbothered by Zhi Ruo's change of tone. In fact, he seemed almost far too amused for anyone in the vicinity's liking, and by anyone, I mean Zhi Ruo who was beside him."Ah, but the people you saved are not called shit." Ravel tutted with his hands in his sleeves. "Fear not master, since it seems like they are keeping

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

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'. Though, I don't think she has taken into account how much the man has kept his eyes on her even if he was not in sig

[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

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
