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

And when Zhi Ruo meant that it was very hard to get, she meant that she will need to either encounter it by luck. Or, she will have to attract said heavenly essence towards her.

Zhōngguó: [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅(´-﹏-`；))̲̅$̲̅] Zhōngguó stayed silent when Zhi Ruo started to pump Qi into his weapon form. Her eyes glinted in from behind her mask that even Zhōngguó flinched at her, because it was so apparent. Visibly fearful of what Zhi Ruo could do in this state, he found that staying silent was a good idea. Staying silent was safe, staying silent is what he does best. "Staying silent doesn't do anything you know." Zhi Ruo could not help but comment on Zhōngguó's gaze. Her hands still busy on clasping the weapon body of Zhōngguó. From the corner of her eyes she could see her STR stat rising at a very scary height. Zhōngguó : [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄)̲̅$̲̅] His phantom projection reddened and Zhōngguó averted his
Reborn in another world [Unsullied lands]
Zhi Ruo furrowed her brows at Zhōngguó's response. She had never heard about the unsullied lands before, it was rather a new term for her. She could also see Zhōngguó furrow his brows."Is this not the unsullied lands?" Zhōngguó opened his mouth to ask tentatively. He opened his eyes to reveal the blank orbs underneath. He stared at Zhi Ruo's unmoving form."This is the borders, people call the place around here as the uncharted territory. But the poeple in the Ye clan calls this the hunting grounds. " Zhi Ruo explained, she folded her hands neatly to her lap. "I have not heard of this unsullied lands, you speak off.""People live here?" Zhōngguó asked, his voice was laced with a tinge of ridiculousness. "Do the poeple not know that these are dangerous for human cohabitation?"

Zhōngguó gave his thanks before he took the gems only. And gave the Mana rocks to Zhi Ruo. "I can't use the Qi stones, since it won't be of use to me it's better if master takes them." Zhi Ruo took the stones without further hassle."Is that what they are called?""Has the name of this also changed?" Zhōngguó could not help but ask warily."Nah," Zhi Ruo shook her head and she absorbed the stones. Somewhat familiar with the mechanics, she moved her mask and directly digested the stones. "You are probably right, I've just been calling these with a different name in my head that's all." She said as she swallowed one of the stones."What the fu—" Zhōngguó watched as his master swallow the stone as if it was the normal thing to do. Zhi Ruo did the action so smoothly l

"Does that mean some other non-sentient artifacts could have been once a sentient being?" She asked. Voiced laced with curiosity. "Yes, one would never know. Of course, unless they have some way of knowing. Like a constitution or a technique. Ultimately it depends on the situation and the people regarding the artifact itself." Zhōngguó thought for a bit before he replied nodding to himself. "Is it possible to help a artifact return to it's former glory? Y'kno with their consciousness back and all." "I don't know, because I've never encountered one. Further more, I've never encountered a sentient being like me." Zhōngguó held up a finger, watching his form getting solid and more tangible by the second. Zhi Ruo nodded silently digesting the information Zhōngguó said. Her thoughts of finding random artifacts and finding a way to revive their consciousness was temporarily pit on hold. Who knows maybe she has a way to do that. But their was a problem with that though, because the un

There was a putrid smell penetrating the room as the door opened. The head mama and and the head steward and the entourage behind them wrinkled their nose at the smell. Wrinkling their nose seems to be an understatement, because some of the weaker servants looks like they are about to vomit in the tray that they are holding with shaking hands.The head mama dared to raise her eyes at the person that was hurrying— scurrying out from the room.It was the doctor physician that was invited yesterday she had summarized. She was the one who had personally welcomed the arrogant doctor physician afterall, of course she could instantly recognize the figure.But all she got a glimpse of is the dirtied pristine gown of the physician's clothes before the physician's silhouette disappeared in the corner.

Big fat tears rolled down her cheeks almost pitifully, at least it was pitiful to anyone that passed by. She burst into another round of tears when she saw that she had coughed up another round of blood again. Somehow her father's words stabbed her painfully in the chest."I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" Liu Ya Ren babbled, her voice laced with fear and anxiety. She tried to claw her arms but she could only clutch them— and even that she could barely do.Liu Wu Yin closed his eyes painfully, Liu Ya Ren's wailing rang through her ears. He waved his arms tiredly, and Liu Ya Ren's wailing suddenly ceased.A man dropped from the roof of the room and pinched the back of Liu Ya Ren's neck. Liu Ya Ren collapsed with a whimper.

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
