2022-12-02 21:47:00Zhi Ruo languidly walked in the familiar arena, the crowd was still as enthusiastic as ever. And Zhi Ruo didn't find it within her to match their excitement. Not when she caught a glance at the person in front of her waiting, and was mirroring her actions of languidness.
Narrowing her eyes, Zhi Ruo sneered but her expression wasn't seen by anyone. The blank eyed on the other hand was seen with a soft smile on his face.
"Prepare," the practitioner motioned for Zhi Ruo and the blank eyed man. He stepped out of the arena and the barrier went up. Almost instantly Zhi Ruo pulled out Zhōngguó, as a circle flashed under the blank eyed man body.
The fight started without a hitch, and Zhi Ruo got the ride of her life when chains suddenly popped out from everywhere. She instantly saw that the blank eyed man was holding a book of

Zhōngguó wasn't a normal weapon, that much the blank eyed man could tell. But as much as he was hell bent on taking Zhi Ruo's weapon. He did not realize his chains were starting to melt the moment they came into Zhi Ruo's vasinity.It wasn't long before the wraith devourers manifested into their flame forms and swarmed around with the chains. Zhi Ruo was a bit surprised that the wraith devourers went out now. She wasn't restricting the wraith devourers in anyway, so she let them do as they pleased as long as they protect her well.But upon closer inspection she knew that the wraith devourers only went out when they want something. And in this situation, the 'something' that the wraith devourers wanted was the book on the blank eyed man's hand. And by extension, the chains around them that kept whipping on the air menacingly.

The blank eyed man's eyes widened in disbelief, but he could not even register the fact that Zhi Ruo's aim wasn't him, but rather he was merely a catalyst because her true aim was truly with the book that was in his hands.Other than the fact he was in disbelief, he could not even show anger, because he was more preoccupied with the slowly expanding Zhōngguó on top of his head.Zhi Ruo met his shaking eyes with more glee than the man could have ever imagined, and thought, what could he ever deserve to incur Zhi Ruo's wrath and glee like this. It was a confusing feeling for the blank eyed man to have.But what was even more confusing is the fact that the blank eyed man could feel the strength on Zhi Ruo's fingers as she gripped him. It wasn't his imagination, but the more Zhōngguó grew above him slowly as if
Reborn in another world [Considered as avenging Wai Ling right?]
Flakes of dried blood fell off the mask as Zhi Ruo scratched a particular spot for no reason at all. The way back into the room was uneventful, but she did feel like a load of stuff was put away from her chest the moment she killed the blank eyed man.This could be considered as avenging Wai Ling right? Zhi Ruo thinks that she may have gone overboard. But she praised herself for making the decision to pump her Qi on Zhōngguó instead of using it (her MP) to heighten the sand skill that she had.She had learned her lesson that the wraith devourers could truly melt her sand even if they don't mean it. She's just glad that there's still clothes on her body because the wraith devourers weren't really those gentle type techniques that can differentiate between friend or foe, nope, they don't discriminate on their destruction.
Reborn in another world [In which everything took a weird turn]
The younger girl looked up with frown marring her face. Zhi Ruo looked at the general direction where the masked man was looking at and she knew that it was the guy's turn to go and fight.Her actions momentarily paused, as she and the rest of the people in the room watched as the masked man stood up and go out of the door. Curiously Yu Zhúlín glanced at the brackets, only a few people was left, he eyeballed how many there were. And concludes that it would be less than a hundred but more than fifty.The fights that was being shown on the screen weren't as boring as before. Now every fight caught everyone's attention because the contestants were finally doing their best and was pulling stunts like never before.Yu Zhúlín saw a familiar name in the bracket, and his suspicions about the masked ma

"Is this supposed to be like some sort of a comedic show?" Zhi Ruo squinted her eyes as she commented on the screen. "Am I tripping or is there a fucking bull in the arena made out of some green light typa shit?" Her head tilted to the sides as she tried to see if her vision was failing her or not."What in the world are you talking about?" Yu Zhúlín shook his head as if he himself wasn't also surprised that a huge bull appeared in the place of the masked man's opponent."Bitch you know what I'm talking about." Zhi Ruo harrumphed quietly, "Acting like you dont see the typa shit I see." She knocked on the table in a soft rythm.Their conversation was left unnoticed by the rest of the people in the room who also had the same reaction as Yu Zhúlín, but not as explosive as Zhi Ruo's.&nbs
Reborn in another world [50 shades of whatthefuckery]
Much to everyone's expectations, the masked man ended up winning spectacularly. There wasn't much to say to that, other than the fact that everyone who knew the masked man well enough knew that he would win sooner than later.Zhi Ruo dubbed this win as 'the masked man's clownery'. To her, this was a fitting name for the guy. However the crowd would not agree to those thoughts, because they 'thought' that the masked man earned his win righteously. This was a normal occurrence that was happening in the crowd.Because majority of the audience were mortals, and of course, they didn't know any better. The masked man won when his blade peirced dramatically into the bull's head. When the green light disappeared, the barbaric man was revealed, and the masked man's sword directly peirced into his head.It wasn't even a spectacula
Reborn in another world [huh? Hutdog.]
The room sunk into an awkward silence the moment Zhi Ruo quipped in from the sides. Eyes darted from Zhi Ruo to the smiling girl who was straining her smile the more the silence dragged on. Zhi Ruo however, wasn't apologetic with what she bluntly stated.To everyone, it felt like Zhi Ruo was picking a fight. But at the same time, they also felt awkward because there wasn't anything wrong with what Zhi Ruo said. Nobody 'did' ask for the smiling girl's opinion. If anyone would say, it was the smiling girl first who was rude by butting into a conversation she wasn't apart off.Zhi Ruo merely stated, rather bluntly, what she was doing."Excuse me?" Taken aback, the smiling girl finally found her voice and could not help but comment back."You heard me." Zhi Ruo didn't take her eyes away f
Reborn in another world [Replace ur mom]
A few minutes passed and the room stayed silent. The usual rotation of replacing the room members continued, another new guy was put in the place of the girl that died. It wasn't new at this point. But it certainly did feel foreign everytime someone was replaced.This time, a well dressed youth walked in the room with a fan on his hand. His green robes attracted quite the attention amongst the people in the room who wore the mainly shades of grey, red and black. The man smiled upon entering the room.His gaze— Zhi Ruo noted, landed on the masked man for a second on her side for a second too long. But this actions of the well dressed youth escaped everyone's suspicions, all except Zhi Ruo's."Hello," The man nodded, pushing aside the familiar staff out of the way, and entering the room by himself. "I'm here to repla

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
