2022-12-05 21:53:00Zhōngguó wasn't a normal weapon, that much the blank eyed man could tell. But as much as he was hell bent on taking Zhi Ruo's weapon. He did not realize his chains were starting to melt the moment they came into Zhi Ruo's vasinity.
It wasn't long before the wraith devourers manifested into their flame forms and swarmed around with the chains. Zhi Ruo was a bit surprised that the wraith devourers went out now. She wasn't restricting the wraith devourers in anyway, so she let them do as they pleased as long as they protect her well.
But upon closer inspection she knew that the wraith devourers only went out when they want something. And in this situation, the 'something' that the wraith devourers wanted was the book on the blank eyed man's hand. And by extension, the chains around them that kept whipping on the air menacingly.

The blank eyed man's eyes widened in disbelief, but he could not even register the fact that Zhi Ruo's aim wasn't him, but rather he was merely a catalyst because her true aim was truly with the book that was in his hands.Other than the fact he was in disbelief, he could not even show anger, because he was more preoccupied with the slowly expanding Zhōngguó on top of his head.Zhi Ruo met his shaking eyes with more glee than the man could have ever imagined, and thought, what could he ever deserve to incur Zhi Ruo's wrath and glee like this. It was a confusing feeling for the blank eyed man to have.But what was even more confusing is the fact that the blank eyed man could feel the strength on Zhi Ruo's fingers as she gripped him. It wasn't his imagination, but the more Zhōngguó grew above him slowly as if
Reborn in another world [Considered as avenging Wai Ling right?]
Flakes of dried blood fell off the mask as Zhi Ruo scratched a particular spot for no reason at all. The way back into the room was uneventful, but she did feel like a load of stuff was put away from her chest the moment she killed the blank eyed man.This could be considered as avenging Wai Ling right? Zhi Ruo thinks that she may have gone overboard. But she praised herself for making the decision to pump her Qi on Zhōngguó instead of using it (her MP) to heighten the sand skill that she had.She had learned her lesson that the wraith devourers could truly melt her sand even if they don't mean it. She's just glad that there's still clothes on her body because the wraith devourers weren't really those gentle type techniques that can differentiate between friend or foe, nope, they don't discriminate on their destruction.

The younger girl looked up with frown marring her face. Zhi Ruo looked at the general direction where the masked man was looking at and she knew that it was the guy's turn to go and fight.Her actions momentarily paused, as she and the rest of the people in the room watched as the masked man stood up and go out of the door. Curiously Yu Zhúlín glanced at the brackets, only a few people was left, he eyeballed how many there were. And concludes that it would be less than a hundred but more than fifty.The fights that was being shown on the screen weren't as boring as before. Now every fight caught everyone's attention because the contestants were finally doing their best and was pulling stunts like never before.Yu Zhúlín saw a familiar name in the bracket, and his suspicions about the masked ma

"Is this supposed to be like some sort of a comedic show?" Zhi Ruo squinted her eyes as she commented on the screen. "Am I tripping or is there a fucking bull in the arena made out of some green light typa shit?" Her head tilted to the sides as she tried to see if her vision was failing her or not."What in the world are you talking about?" Yu Zhúlín shook his head as if he himself wasn't also surprised that a huge bull appeared in the place of the masked man's opponent."Bitch you know what I'm talking about." Zhi Ruo harrumphed quietly, "Acting like you dont see the typa shit I see." She knocked on the table in a soft rythm.Their conversation was left unnoticed by the rest of the people in the room who also had the same reaction as Yu Zhúlín, but not as explosive as Zhi Ruo's.&nbs

Much to everyone's expectations, the masked man ended up winning spectacularly. There wasn't much to say to that, other than the fact that everyone who knew the masked man well enough knew that he would win sooner than later.Zhi Ruo dubbed this win as 'the masked man's clownery'. To her, this was a fitting name for the guy. However the crowd would not agree to those thoughts, because they 'thought' that the masked man earned his win righteously. This was a normal occurrence that was happening in the crowd.Because majority of the audience were mortals, and of course, they didn't know any better. The masked man won when his blade peirced dramatically into the bull's head. When the green light disappeared, the barbaric man was revealed, and the masked man's sword directly peirced into his head.It wasn't even a spectacula

The room sunk into an awkward silence the moment Zhi Ruo quipped in from the sides. Eyes darted from Zhi Ruo to the smiling girl who was straining her smile the more the silence dragged on. Zhi Ruo however, wasn't apologetic with what she bluntly stated.To everyone, it felt like Zhi Ruo was picking a fight. But at the same time, they also felt awkward because there wasn't anything wrong with what Zhi Ruo said. Nobody 'did' ask for the smiling girl's opinion. If anyone would say, it was the smiling girl first who was rude by butting into a conversation she wasn't apart off.Zhi Ruo merely stated, rather bluntly, what she was doing."Excuse me?" Taken aback, the smiling girl finally found her voice and could not help but comment back."You heard me." Zhi Ruo didn't take her eyes away f

A few minutes passed and the room stayed silent. The usual rotation of replacing the room members continued, another new guy was put in the place of the girl that died. It wasn't new at this point. But it certainly did feel foreign everytime someone was replaced.This time, a well dressed youth walked in the room with a fan on his hand. His green robes attracted quite the attention amongst the people in the room who wore the mainly shades of grey, red and black. The man smiled upon entering the room.His gaze— Zhi Ruo noted, landed on the masked man for a second on her side for a second too long. But this actions of the well dressed youth escaped everyone's suspicions, all except Zhi Ruo's."Hello," The man nodded, pushing aside the familiar staff out of the way, and entering the room by himself. "I'm here to repla

The room quieted down as Yu Zhúlín got out of the room, Zhi Ruo resumed her role as the person that flipped through the channels to find the match. It didn't take about three skips, when Yu Zhúlín was shown walking towards the arena with a soft smile on his face.The brackets were getting shorter, it meant the top twenty was good to be chosen soon. The contestants summarized that if Yu Zhúlín wins this round, he would have a 'safety net' over his head. Meaning he would at least be part of the top twenty to say the least.When Yu Zhúlín got inot his arena, there wasn't a opponent on sight, Yu Zhúlín had to wait for his opponent because he got there early.The masked man glanced at Zhi Ruo's hands in amusement, seeing the girl already on her 3rd pill.

[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

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.

[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

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'.

[Luck]
Zhōngguó made a face in my direction, a clear attempt to provoke or elicit some sort of reaction. However, it didn't bother me in the slightest. If anything, it only made my amusement grow. I could feel a small smile tugging at the corner of my lips, but I chose not to indulge him. My attention gradually shifted away, and I soon ignored the weapon who was clearly trying to rile me up for his own entertainment. The soft hum that drifted from his direction served as a quiet backdrop, but I paid it no mind, busying myself with putting the petals away in their proper place."Why aren't you as excited as I thought you'd be?" His voice broke through the quiet, carrying a tone of curiosity. By now, he had already made himself comfortable, sprawled lazily across my bed like it was his own personal lounging spot. I could feel his eyes on me.With a quiet sigh, I swept my fringe away from my face, tucking the stray strands behind my ear. Slowly, I raised my head from the mask I had been inspect

[Zhōngguó awakened]
My back straightened instinctively, a subtle tremor running through my hands as I stood among the sea of petals. The air was thick with the fragrance of flowers, in its own way, it was almost eerie. Each delicate bloom seemed to pulse with life, amplifying the excitement I could barely contain. If Ravel was here to see my expression, he would have called me a lunatic despite his upbringing.Still, it would have been weird if I wasn't excited upon receiving such a huge landfall. The realization that I could wield a law without ever fully mastering it was nothing short of incredible. It wasn't just any law either—it was one that felt deeply familiar, intricately woven into my life through the teachings of my master. The humm in my consciousness made me realize the true potential of the petals around me.But the excitement soon faded, the initial rush of wonder slipping away as the petals around me vanished at my command. With just a single thought, they retreated, condensing into a su

[The first law]
Although Zhi Ruo isn't entirely sure how Ravel levels up or even how her butler continues to grow stronger, she is certain of one thing: Ravel has the ability to level up. It's a fact she doesn't fully understand but has come to accept nonetheless. Zhi Ruo's puckered up her lips unconsciously. Her thoughts shifted to the state her contracts were in.Zhi Ruo finally tore her gaze away from the sapling, reluctantly pulling back her heightened senses so that she was no longer acutely aware of the intricate state of her contracts. With her focus shifting, her eyes settled on a delicate flower resting quietly a short distance away, its presence unassuming yet somehow captivating. Her expression remained mostly unchanged, though a faint glimmer of curiosity surfaced in her eyes. Having finished evaluating the first prize, Zhi Ruo turned her attention to the second, the one she had chosen at random. Naturally, it was the flowerInside the glass box sat an unassuming flower, its petals perf
