2022-02-22 13:19:46A dancing silhouette could be seen flying across the raining valleys. Wait, no not dancing, fighting should be the exact term. It seems to be fighting an invisible force, blow by blow resounded in the empty and wet valley, the wind and rain were blown of by the vigorous action of the silhouette.
An open palm strike struck out in the empty space, it seemed to have hit something. It was then followed by a loud resounding crash, in front of the palm on the ground laid a huge crater. And inside that huge crater has a huge hole.
"Open palm technique, basic 1.." the figure said, it's voice soothing, angelic and godlike, like an immortal speaking from the sky. Making one wanting to hear more.
"Zhi Ruo! You damn wench!...I'll...get you... next ti-" a laud screeching noise pierced through the air before it suddenly stopped, the owner of the voice finally made itself visible laying inside the giant crater.
A large figure made of flesh was visible, some chunkes of it's body were missing and some were melting. It's head glowed an golden ring. It was clear as day that it was an monster, the one that any human would fear.
But the slender figure in front of the monster just looked on as the last strand of life left the body of the monster. It's body started melting and the rain gradually stopped, what's left of the remains were and golden ring and plants.
The figure crouched down and you can see it's dripping wet hair, upon closer inspection you can see that it was an slender body of a woman. The monster identified her as Zhi Ruo.
"Their won't be a next time" softly saying those words, Zhi Ruo picked up the golden ring and the plants. She held it up in front of her face and stared at it. Sighing, her forehead glowed bright red, and in the middle between her brows appeared a golden lotus marking.
Her extremely beautiful appearance could make anything fall, be it some city, country or the world, even humankind. Coupled with lotus in her brows it only added to her luster. The items in her hand disappeared and it seems to be sucked into her forehead.
The marking on her forehead glowed, she swept her hand on it and then it disappeared. She turned around and started to leave.
"Pah! Having the lotus dimensions world sure is convenient" she looked the back of her hand, her back hand glowed with pearly white splendour againts the sun.
"But being the only mortal who practices immortal cultivation, is the best!" She exclaimed arrogantly without even turning back to see the chaos that she left behind.
She took out an cellphone from her pocket, the phone glowed golden due to its golden case. She was finally out of the valley and unto the road, she typed briefly in the phone and the phone started ringing.
The other person behind the line picked up, "President, would you like to be picked up? I'll send the car." The voice on the other said, it's tone cheery but also childish. Before they could advance into the conversation, Zhi Ruo ended the call neither affirming or declining.
But a few moments later, a black sleek car pulled up beside Zhi Ruo. A man in Black came out and opened the door, Zhi Ruo naturally stepped in. In a few seconds the car moved. Zhi Ruo watched as the scenery changed from behind the window.
The car is silent heading to the direction of the tallest building, it's magnificence brought out the advancements that the humankind had advanced to. The sun reflected at the blue tinted glass that covered the building.
The car stopped and the door opened for Zhi Ruo to get out, she stepped out her steps soundless despite the heels she was wearing against the concrete marble floor. What greeted her was her own company's building, and a bunch of people lined up bowing.
She waved her hand and the people she passed by bowed lower before straightening up. When she entered the building, a figure jumped on her "Zhie Zhie knew that Zhi Ruo would need a car!"
A small girl with large brown eyes wearing slacks and a blazer came to view, it was Zhi Ruo's assistant. Her bubbly personality contrasted againts her job. "Zhie get off me and get back to work,"
Zhie Zhie just smiled in delight when Zhi Ruo talked to her and proceed to do as told. Zhi Ruo went straight to the elevator and proceeded to the highest floor. When she got there, the view below was spectacular.
She didn't notice that by the time she arrived at her office the sun was already setting down. She laid down on her chair, facing the computers in front of her. She closed her eyes and her body started glowing red, and the golden lotus on her forehead appeared again.
Her body started wavering between space and time continuum. And finally her body disappeared and appeared inside her head. To be more precise her lotus dimensions.
The lotus dimensions creates different space, worlds and dimensions for the user to use. Each of the Dimensions has different abilities, for example. One can plant a plant in a dimensions, and that plant can grow with properties unimaginable.
Another example is an dimension can duplicate an item or anything. That's how powerful and outrageous this mark is. And Zhi Ruo is just using it in an barbaric way, the lotus doesn't deserve such owner.
"Hmm" Zhi Ruo hummed to herself as she inspected all her things. She smiled when she was satisfied. Brushing over the herbs and many precious artifacts one last time, she willed her body to get out of the lotus mark.
Outside what greeted her was the bustling city down below, the glowing city lights made light contrast againts Zhi Ruo's face. The window briefly reflected her reflection when she stared outside.
She calmly walked to her desk in the dark room, the only remaining light was the light outside. On her desk remained mountains of paper works, but she spared them no glance as she leaned back to her chair.
Her eyes closed, ignoring her sudden headache and the light that shot through her eyelids. When she noticed that no matter how hard she wills her body to ignore her headache, she opened her eyes.
Suddenly a bright light took her by surprise. It swallowed her body whole. Alarmed she tried to go to her dimension, but she had no time to do so. Her lips parted in a silent scream as she disappeared in that time line all together.
All was left was the dark office room and the noise down below her company.
Zhi Ruo disappeared from that world.

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

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,

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
[An impression]
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
[Whispers of obligations]
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'.
