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.

[Telltale]
[Qiao Liwei Auction house]Zhi Ruo gracefully accepted the outstretched hand offered by Ravel, who was dressed in his servant clothes. The only difference was, he had taken upon himself to don a white mask with no holes for the eyes nose and mouth. Stepping down from the carriage they had taken from the opulent mansion after their— quote on quote "satisfying lunch", she found Yuan Chuanli awaiting their arrival. As he had went out before her.His imposing figure stood tall, the clan's emblem prominently displayed on his back, drawing curious gazes from onlookers nearby. Both the participants of the auction and the bystanders that had nothing else to do but waut outside the auction house to try and take a good look of the rarely seem rich people.Zhi Ruo stepped beside Yuan Chuanli with a similar robe on her shoulders, adorning the Ye clan symbol of a similar fashion. She didn't mind the stares that was aimed at her, because in the first place, she didn't want to hide, nor cared to hid
[The Mansion]
With a brisk and determined pace, one that Yuan Chuanli grew to familiarize, Zhi Ruo arrived at the mansion she knew so well. Well, as much you can know from the daily reports of your butler that is. As she stepped inside, she couldn't help but notice the striking metamorphosis that had taken place. The familiar building and grounds remained, yet the ambiance and energy of the house had undergone a remarkable transformation. As Zhi Ruo led the way, Yuan Chuanli quietly followed, his initial grumbling fading away. Their path unveiled a street of lavish grandeur, unmistakably tailored for the privileged few who could afford such opulence. Yuan Chuanli couldn't help but entertain the thought that Zhi Ruo had led them astray. However, any words that formed on his lips died as his tongue was suddenly glued to the top of his mouth, he observed Zhi Ruo confidently and nonchalantly enter one of the most expansive estates.
[The Maid's Incompetence]
Yuan Chuanli stretched his hands upwards his shoulders popping in the motion, his face sported a refreshed look of satisfaction as he went out of the building with light steps. Obviously in a good mood. In the far distance, he could see Zhi Ruo's figure as she talked with her butler. He could not see Zhi Ruo's expression, but he certainly can see Ravel's.Without wasting anytime, he made his way towards the two with a look of inquiry. "The auction will start around one in the afternoon, it's still daytime and we haven't even gotten our lunch yet. What does the young miss intend to do?" Yuan Chuanli folded his hands underneath his clothes as he walked towards the duo.Upon hearing Yuan Chuanli, Ravel nodded his head. "Deciple Yuan Chuanli is right young miss, it would be advisable to eat before we attend the auction." Like a responsible servant, Ravel suggested to follow Yuan Chuanli's words. The two looked at Zhi Ruo's mask,
[Tassle]
The servant with the tassle smiled upon hearing Zhi Ruo's words, it was a tight lipped smile, as if she was saying that she knew something Zhi Ruo didn't. "It was the head that gave the order to give this to the young miss. I am to inform you that the resources that you chose and won from the tournament, along with the deed of the training ground, the plaque of the noble title, and the merit points, are inside the plaque in your hands."The servant's hands motioned for the rest of the servants in the room to line up at the sides, earning Yuan Chuanli's silent gaze. Zhi Ruo raised her brows upon hearing the servant's words, she then tied the plaque in the insides of her robe after shooting a nod towards the servant with a tassle."The head has had the heiress plaque be customize so that it can store storage now. The patriarch advices the young miss to not lose the plaque because it has now become more valuable than a mansion in the capital." The

Yuan Chuanli raised his hands and clenched on thin air as if he was clawing the clear sky above him, his face was red with unconcealed rage, and he looked close to launching himself towards Zhi Ruo. Who, even without showing the expression on her face because of her mask, still manage to annoy him to no end.Yuan Chuanli quickly realized that pretenses were useless in front of the person who is like Zhi Ruo. Because regardless of how you act in front of her her, in the end, if she is in the mood, you would be left coughing up blood in rage. Yuan Chuanli wasn't called 'boy genius ' for nothing, as he learned fast. And Yuan Chuanli learned to stop trying to control his emotions in front of Zhi Ruo, because Zhi Ruo wouldn't care if he broke his 'boy genius' façade anyways. The boy genius cannot help but feel rather offended of this somehow.But before he could do anything drastic, a woman greeted Yuan Chuanli
[Curious]
"Interesting people you say..." The owner echoed Alberu's words. The side of her lips pulled up in a quirk. A flash of uncertainty crossed her eyes looking at the representative of the Liu clan being led by her staff. 'Those guys are pretty bold to come inside without any disguises, are they not afraid of others spreading rumours? It's already bad enough that General Liu is already rumoured to have taken a bad turn in terms of his health. Now his people are coming in so brazenly. How careless, to think they even displayed their logo so proudly on their chests.' Yang Meixiang closed her fan, and tapped it gently on her palm, her thoughts were full of dissatisfaction towards the representatives of the Liu clan. Full of judgement she may have, but she could not voice these thoughts aloud.'Its also very unusual for his two concubine borne daughters to not appear in the socialite circles. In most cases, in big auctions like these, they are usually the first in line to book a private roo

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
