Reborn in another world [break]
"You can go if you want to," Zhi Ruo drawled, her mask was illuminated with whatever light that was at the arena." No one is really stopping you here." She said, the people that was cleaning the blood and grime off the arena was slowly retreating now. It seems like they were done.Huang Yanyuan pursed his lips upon hearing Zhi Ruo's reply. He found that she was right, and no one was really truly keeping him back. The only reason that he was staying back was because he found it weird that he would go out by himself when everyone around him seemed like they were fine sitting down. Seeing that Huang Yanyuan was staying silent, Ravel took this chance to pull out some lamp and lit it up quietly. The light from the lamp engulfed the entire podium, and everyone casted a glance towards Ravel's direction. They were unperturbed by the light, they merely took this chance to relax for a while."No, I'd just stay here with you guys after all." The man assented, he glanced at his torn up robes and
Reborn in another world [Immense pressure]
Everyone got out of their room slumping, they knew that the tournament was about to start again after the walls started shaking and the cheers only became louder. To their expectations, they know that there is probably more drunk man now than the last one. It was a normal scene now, all of them summarized.They didn't wait for the staff to get them, they all went earlier than expected. Ravel was no where to be seen, and Zhi Ruo didn't care, she knew that he was probably with her grandfather now. She met up with the others after seeing that she wasn't the only one that decided to go out early."Yo," the girl greeted raising her arms. The rest of the men turned to look at her direction and nodded, they took in Zhi Ruo's lax appearance and they could not help but tense up. They can't be too friendly now, after all, who knows which one of them fights the other.Like he didn't notice the tensed up atmosphere around him, Alberu greeted Zhi Ruo with an up tone. "Good morning." He said, raisi
Reborn in another world [The bracket]
"Alberu Luminaf vs. Huang Yanyuan""Huo Feng vs. Yu Zhúlín""Ye Zhi Ruo vs. Han Wanran"The names that was being displayed on the board flashed, and it dazzled everyone, everyone but the people on the podium that was looking at their names with blank gazes. Zhi Ruo puckered her lips upon seeing who she was partnered up with."Oh, atleast you got your wish fulfilled." Zhi Ruo said jokingly towards Huang Yanyuan, though the tone of her voice bordered between blandness. Her voice caught everyone's attention, before they all went to look at the board again. They all sighed to themselves."Oh," near her, Zhi Ruo could hear her future opponent mutter to himself. Han Wanran looked like he wanted to be somewhere else the moment he saw his name next to Zhi Ruo. He didn't have any other choice though. It wasn't like the others were any better. Zhi Ruo made her eyebrows twitch, she could not care less as to who her opponent was. She knew she would end up facing them sooner or later. "Ah, well, g
Reborn in another world [Over 500]
Zhi Ruo's eyes narrowed dangerously under her mask and her lips puckered up like she was pondering over something. Her eyes scanned her status one more time, and she half pondered if she should just lock her cultivation realm up, or level up. But the second one she can't do because she needed mission for those.But the girl noticed something. Well, it was hard not to notice because of the hard fact that it was basically the only sore thing that was sticking out from her status window. And that was her STR stat that was well over 500+ now. But she still have not received a single notification from the system.[How come that I could still pump up MP on my weapon, which in turn ramps up my STR stat, but then, I am being told that I can not pump up on the other status points I have?] She could not help but ask the system. The girl was currently blind and deaf to the world as she asked her problem. [That is because the ancient sentient weapon named as "Zhōngguó" is used to serve as a medi
Reborn in another world [HER HIGHNESS PETTINESS]
Zhi Ruo eyed the bloody mess Alberu has made for himself, in judgement and scrutiny. Like she was saying 'oh, do they not really see that act that they call as a mess right there?' However, since everyone said their opinions, Zhi Ruo wasn't the kind of person to go and ruin it for them.So the girl stayed silent and kept to herself. But when Alberu took a punch through this gut, because he dodged it from his face, it made her crack a small smug smile. Though the snort that came from her lips accidentally got out, did, earn her a glance from both of her senior brothers."I know you just laughed," Huo Feng told Zhi Ruo who was snickering to herself. "Why even bother hiding it when you are basically wheezing everytime the guy receives a punch." From the corner of Zhi Ruo's eyes, she could see Han Wanran sighing and sagging on his seat in vague amusement."Whatcha even going to do about it, you twat." The girl muttered under her breath, which was not heard by any other ears but hers alone
Reborn in another world [All for a good show]
However, the more Huang Yanyuan's eyes blurred as his consciousness started to waver. The more he panicked, without relying on his sight, he decided to close his eyes and let his body move as the wind directed him too. This made him catch his breath in the long run, as he steadied himself on his feet.The smoke cleared up, and only a few residue was left around the entire arena. However, when the smoke cleared up because of the two's (Huang Yanyuan and Alberu) movements; that helped disapated the smoke faster— everyone saw that Huang Yanyuan was still closing his eyes without even trying to open them.Alberu breathed, his body maneuvered into a more comfortable position before he stopped entirely. His hand reached out to adjust his mask, his eyes gazing at his opponent in front of him that was struggling to stay unto his feet. Briefly Alberu wanted to know if his fight had amused the audience yet.This, by far, was the only fight that he willingly put himself at risk because he wanted
Reborn in another world [The masked guy they shouted, they know of him as Alberu Luminof]
"Stop." The practitioner'a voice echoed as he went into between Huang Yanyuan and Alberu. His hand was outstretched, clasping Alberu's hand that was holding a ball. Much like the one that he used beforehand, the one where it would explode and turn into a smoke screen. And his other hand was holding Huang Yanyuan securely.Huang Yanyuan was convulsing under the practioner's hand, his body was aching. But his gaze was set upon Alberu, it seemed like he did not even notice the practitioner holding him. It wasn't until he felt the pain on his arm did he finally notice. His eyes snapped towards the practioner, as Alberu snatched his injured hand that the practioner was holding with a sharp hiss under his breath. "What?" Huang Yanyuan managed to croak out, his eyes watched as the practioner put his hand down gently. Huang Yanyuan dropped his hand weakly after being released.The practitioner glanced at Huang Yanyuan with pity crossing his eyes. And Huang Yanyuan could clearly see the emoti
Reborn in another world [busted]
Zhi Ruo gazed at the silent man in front of her, taking note of the fact that most of his wounds are already slowly healing. Meaning that he still got a huge vitality in him tht could help the process of healing, which would also lead Zhi Ruo to believe that he wasn't as tired as he seemed."I was right," Zhi Ruo said thoughtfully to herself. "You are still putting up an act aren't you." She stated. But her words didn't catch Alberu off guard. Rather, he wasn't reacting at all. Then, out of nowhere, the guy laughed boisterously. Like Zhi Ruo just hit the on button somewhere in him."Out of all people to notice, it just had to be you." He stated, his tone matching Zhi Ruo's. And the girl didn't like that. Not one bit liking how he was matching her characteristics, now people are going to think that they are really in cahoots if he keeps that up."Don't sound too disappointed now." Zhi Ruo muttered, Alberu went past her with a stride aiming to go to the podium with or without her. The g

[Information]
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
