Reborn in another world [Not there for the glory, just the free stuffs]
"As the champion of the tournament, you will receive the following rewards." Ma Meilin started, her hands moved to open the scroll. "You will receive 50,000 merit points, a cultivation sight of your choosing. Of course, it had to be under the imperial family's name. Numerous cultivation resources of your choosing, along with the resources that are meant for the group you are affiliated with. A peerless treasure of your choosing, a title as a noble in the great Guan Wei empire. A peerless treasure of your choosing as well as a compartment that has 20 kilometers in space inside." Joining the tournament has many perks, and Zhi Ruo thought that the rewards were the best part of it. Nothing beats free cultivation resources, she thought. The young miss itched to grab the scroll from Ma Meilin's hands and stop her from talking about what rewards she, Zhi Ruo, got. She doesn't need anyone peeking on what kind of treasure that she had. But alas, the young miss could not move under the light
Reborn in another world [Additional rewards]
The others that remainded at the venue could not help but glance at Ye Gu Shi who was laughing with Zhi Ruo in his arms. The younger girl was helplessly covered by her grandfather who was around 7f tall. Ye Gu Shi was tall, but he was considered average in terms of height to other cultivators who towered over 8-9feet tall. "Can you let go," came in Zhi Ruo's muffled plea. But it seemed like the patriarch heard what his granddaughter was saying because he let go with a last laugh. "It's seems like I have to thank you for earning our clan some resources." The patriarch said teasingly said, while guiding the younger girl towards the waiting group. Ravel was quick to summon a robe from nowhere as he approached Zhi Ruo. The girl willingly let her butler put on the embroidered robe on her, while her grandfather was busy laughing smugly. Zhi Ruo could feel the stare of the new guy on the back of her head, so she inclined her head towards the new guy's direction. Only to see such a stone
Reborn in another world [An introduction]
Yu Zhúlín listened, and he listened well. He seemed to have some few things in mind already when Zhi Ruo turned her head to look at his expression. The deep creases of contemplation on his face was a deep contrast to what kind of expression he usually wore. It caught Zhi Ruo's eyes, but she did not find it displeasing at all. She almost found it relieving that even like Yu Zhúlín could have such expression on his face. That's right, this is what a senior brother's face should look like, Zhi Ruo could not help but thought. It wasn't until she saw that her grandfather's attention went back at her did she raise her head to look at her grandfather in question. "That goes the same for you, you can also look for your grandfather if you want anything." The patriarch said with a soft smile. Zhi Ruo might have not noticed it, however Ravel certainly did. And he found it amusing that the two people in the room pretended to not see the doting look on the otherwise strict patriarch's face.
Reborn in another world [Merits]
Yuan Chuanli's jaw loosened up, his fingers pressed against the wood on the table as the expression of slow disbelief was clearly shown on his face. The quick flash of frown on his face was apparent and was clear as day, however, no one was paying attention to his reactions, because nobody even bothered to point it out. On the other hand, Yu Zhúlín had a rather tame reaction because he already expected Zhi Ruo's question. He was just waiting for Zhi Ruo's questions to stop. Until then, his attention was on the food Ravel had given and put on the table. However, Yu Zhúlín felt that it was kinda hard to swallow the food when Ravel's gaze was piercing the back of his neck. Yu Zhúlín thinks it was because he was eating the food Ravel had prepared for Zhi Ruo, but that was just probably his imagination. "How can the merit points be seen again? And how could it be used?" Zhi Ruo's voice drawled out, she adjusted her posture on her seat. Her back was now 'comfortably' ramrod straight.
Reborn in another world [Crazy pair]
Yuan Chuanli quietly scoffed, but even after Zhi Ruo heard his clear, but otherwise silent contempt, she did not care, nor did she have any spare energy to care. Rather, she focused her attention to her grandfather who caughed and gave Yuan Chuanli a disapproving but amused look. The young miss has an inkling that her grandfather was already half expecting this kind of treatment. The more Zhi Ruo payed attention to the general feeling that Yuan Chuanli was giving off, the more she realized that he held the same contempt that Tiān Dì held for her when she entered the Sighted Valley. She may not like nor care about that sleazy looking senior brother of hers, however, she will not deny the fact that she will move upon further provoked. Zhi Ruo steadied her demeanor, and met her grandfather's amused look with a even expression hidden underneath that mask of hers. Seeing Zhi Ruo's calm demeanor, the Patriarch could not help but reveal a amused smile. And Yuan Chuanli who was waiting fo
Reborn in another world [Going back]
Everyone in the room desolved into chatter, with the expense that Yuan Chuanli had to suffer the stiff and uncomfortable scrutiny of Zhi Ruo. The guy knew that he was a hard person to deal with, he was now starting to realize that Zhi Ruo was the kind of person that would be 'even harder' to deal with. The girl may not show it, but there was an underlying and subtle thing that washed over Yuan Chuanli, that made him know that he was being watched. And it certainly made him uncomfortable. It wasn't great to be the end person to receive the type of treatment that he would usually do on others. There were no words of complaints that can leave his mouth. After all, it wasn't like he could say 'can you stop making me uncomfortable?' won't he be just blatantly saying that Zhi Ruo had an effect on him without even raising a finger. Where would his face go? His face would probably fly off to the distance by the face slap that he was giving himself. As the chatter continued, the door open
Reborn in another world [Alone]
The girl slipped inside her room, its size a stark contrast to her last visit. Perhaps it was because she wasn't treated the same as the other contestants this time. Back then, they were all contestants borrowing an aircraft, and the common rooms provided were identical, spartan affairs befitting their temporary status. However, since the tournament was over, she obviously wasn't treated as a contestant anymore. Instead, she was now an owner of this very aircraft, and the best accommodations were naturally reserved for her. The spacious room, adorned with fine silks and gleaming jade accents, spoke volumes of her status. A subtle scent of sandalwood and jasmine lingered in the air, that told Zhi Ruo that the whole thing was meticulously prepared just for her.Zhi Ruo however, with her meager realm (as of now) felt that the room was suffocating from the moment that she stepped inside the room. It was oppressive and suffocating. Like it was like hot water painfully and forcefully
Reborn in another world [Sapling]
As Zhi Ruo's level and realm expanded, she discovered that her lotus mark's absorption of Qi no longer affected her. Freed from this constraint, Zhi Ruo leisurely examined the two items now in her possession. Zhi Ruo found herself holding a tree sapling and a delicate flower encased in a glass box.The girl's initial observation revealed that the tree sapling, emerging from the time-frozen confines of her lotus mark, visibly absorbed substantial quantities of Qi as soon as it was exposed to the visible spectrum.The Qi in the room, depleted almost instantly. With it being sucked dry from a singular unassuming sapling in the middle of Zhi Ruo's left palm. The array within the room struggled to match the connate tree sapling's voracious absorption rate, leaving Zhi Ruo grappling with the overwhelming influx of Qi that suppressed her entire being, making it difficult for her to breathe and adapt. Instantly, an iridescent shimmer flashed in Zhi Ruo's eyes, she looked like a kid who just

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
