2022-06-06 20:11:00The 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 c

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 rememb

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

When Zhōngguó is in his weapon form, his body can become as heavy as the user pleases. Which means he can adjust his size depending on how much Qi he has on him or how many souls he had taken.When Zhi Ruo asked what he meant by that, Zhōngguó explained with great detail. Fearing that Zhi Ruo would tease him again.He said that in his staff form, he can naturally get as big and as small as he pleased, or as his master pleased. "The biggest form I ever had was as large as an empire back in the days. But Zhēngqù Án never did like that form because it was a hassle for him to move around."Zhi Ruo then informed Zhōngguó that the empire has drastically changed and was now very large. Zhōngguó asked how large. Zhi Ruo replied "As far as the eyes could see." To which she could feel Zhōngguó

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
[The Auction House]
Zhi Ruo rolled her eyes. "Quit yapping you brat, and just follow me." The young miss went inside first, before Yuan Chuanli sighed behind her and followed her lead. Behind the boy genius, Ravel followed calmly carrying Zhi Ruo's luggage. Inside, Zhi Ruo adjusted the container of Zhōngguó, and faced Yuan Chuanli unflappable façade. Before scoffing after seeing that the boy genius wasn't as unflappable as he wanted to be seen in Zhi Ruo's eyes. The vehicle started moving as soon as everyone was seated, Ravel who had already been instructed as to what to do, took over as the driver of the vehicle. And slowly, they departed from the Sighted Valley safely. The journey would take about 6 hours under Zhi Ruo's estimation given the speed that they were going, it was enough to catch up with the auction, so Zhi Ruo let Ravel do his thing and instead focused on Yuan Chuanli.
[Where Are We Going Exactly?]
It has already been day since the talk with Yuan Chuanli. And unfortunately for the young genius, Zhi Ruo saw through her words efficiently and without any waste of time. Because not even an hour later, Yuan Chuanli who was enjoying his alone time in his 'own' pavilion, directly received a scroll from Ravel. And again without him noticing that damn butler's presence ;Or so he grumbles under his breath. He was torn in between considering Ravel's actions, rude, or considerate, because the moment he handed the scroll to him (without even a greeting) the butler had disappeared instantly without a word. The young genius was certainly glad he didn't have to spend time with idle chatter (as his etiquette calls him to do) and fake pleasantries, but he won't deny that Ravel's appearance 'who was without greetings' irked him a bit. Well, not really a bit. Yuan Chuanli just find it beneath him to get
[Loopholes]
Vaguely, Zhi Ruo could see Yuan Chuanli opening and closing his mouth like he was trying to formulate the right words that was on his mind. She could not help but compare him to a goldfish, it was already arguable enough that he also had the type of look that she would see 'in a goldfish '. Although she had motioned for the guy in front of her hurriedly, she didn't actually mind and was not in a hurry at all, she is already taking her time secretly. Her reason? Zhi Ruo thought that this type of actions was like a power trip. The young miss would never 'miss' such a chance, even if it's miniscule. Yuan Chuanli who digested every words Zhi Ruo said, was a bit speechless, but was starting to get used to Zhi Ruo's antics. He understood where Zhi Ruo was coming at. And he knows that 'she' was giving this type cooperation was for her own, and his, good. But having
[Eccentricity]
As if she didn't hear the uncertainty that coated each of Yuan Chuanli's words, Zhi Ruo tilted her head. "Didn't you hear me? I already said that grandfather's words are most likely to be excuses." Zhi Ruo waved her hands dismissively. Yuan Chuanli watched Zhi Ruo's careless actions and wanted to sigh. It was his luck to face such a indifferent and free willed heiress. He had finally decided to trust the rumors, that the true blooded Ye clan members are an eccentric bunch, more eccentric than the ancient cultivators that decided to live out of the current society. Yuan Chuanli thought that Ye Gu Shi was a weird one. He soon followed that thought with; that was because he hadn't met Zhi Ruo yet. "Even if the patriarch's words are excuses, I plan to follow his words exactly at face value." The guy said, causing Zhi Ruo to frown. Who knew that Yuan Chuanli was such a good law abider th
[Playmate deal]
Zhi Ruo abandoned the thought of pretending any longer, and instead, her expression morphed into a mischievous, teasing, scowl that indicated none of her true feelings with Yuan Chuanli's behavior. She expressed her fake disappointment by sneering and sarcastically commented, "Oh, come on, where's your sense of humor?" She then reached out and grabbed one of the cups that Ravel had set on the table for them. As Yuan Chuanli rolled his eyes at Zhi Ruo's comment, his doll-like face remained cool and collected, displaying an unflappable composure that seemed at odds with his present company. It was clear that the young genius was used to a life of refinement and elegance, and even the slight hint of vulgarity in Zhi Ruo's tone, even though it was fake, was enough to make him visibly roll his eyes. "Pretend I don't have one," he said, his voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm. It sounded like he was trying to copy Zhi Ruo's tone, however it sounded awkward on his tongue as he didn't us
[You know else starts with "T" other than Tea? Tension.]
Yuan Chuanli reclined in his chair, studying Zhi Ruo intently with his cool, calculating gaze. Uncertain of what her next move would be, he remained silent, allowing Zhi Ruo to take the lead in the conversation. Zhi Ruo sat in front of him, her mask covering her face and her hands folded neatly in her lap. Despite Yuan Chuanli's intense scrutiny, she remained composed and unperturbed. Her eyes, though hidden behind the mask, betrayed a sharp intelligence and a quiet confidence, as if she knew something that he didn't. Yuan Chuanli couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease as he studied her posture, which was relaxed but poised, as if she was ready for anything. He wondered what secrets she was hiding behind that mask, and what kind of person would be so calm in the face of his scrutiny. All of a sudden, a laugh escaped Zhi Ruo's mouth. It rang inside the well furnished room, as if it was fir
[The clash of pride and duty]
If one were to happen upon the scene, without any prior knowledge of the situation, they would undoubtedly assume that Yuan Chuanli was being kidnapped. The look of indignant and reluctance on his face, coupled with the fact that he looked like was being forced to follow Zhi Ruo from behind, would be enough to make anyone suspicious. The resident genius's expression was a mixture of hesitance, frustration, and a poor attempt of getting his poker face back on. His face contorted in discomfort as he trailed behind the heiress, if anything, the only thing missing would be his eyes darting around nervously in search of a way out. Zhi Ruo, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by her companion's distress, or if she even noticed it at all. She marched forward confidently, her head held high and her gaze fixed ahead, as if she were completely in control of the situation. Despite the obvious discomfort of her companion,
[A meeting of Minds and Masks]
After much bargaining, and Zhi Ruo's display of 'im going to go even if you disagree anyways' Ye Gu Shi relented at last. Though Zhi Ruo did not miss how there were looks exchanged between Ravel and her grandfather, with her in the middle. The girl wonders if her butler and grandfather truly hadn't thought that she could see their little exchange above her head. And maybe Zhi Ruo did regret a little on how she ignored Ravel's report on her grandfather. It wasn't her fault that she really, badly, wanted to sleep at that time. One shouldn't be deprived of sleep you know. Nonetheless, she figured that the looks that they exchange between them, was mainly for her own good. And so ,she didn't care. It probably was something related to her safety anyways. She got what she wanted in the end, it was a win win situation. Her grandfather asked to borrow her plaque and Zhi Ruo handed it without much thought. Ye Gu Shi sighed when he received the plaque and told Zhi Ruo that she would need he
