"You and y'all's dry ass humor you got going on." Zhi Ruo instantly responded after seeing Yu Zhúlín crack a smile. There's a few things that can make Zhi Ruo laugh, and two of them are 'stupid people' doing stupid shit. And dark humor. There's barely anything that Zhi Ruo could get to laugh at.

And one of those aren't certainly Alberu's weird ass jokes that Yu Zhúlín seemed to enjoy. Then again, the two were practically friends now after spending the duration of the entire tournament near eachother. Well, it was mostly Alberu sticking close to Yu Zhúlín like a sticky glue.

And one could guess that Alberu's hard work finally paid off, because it seemed like the green haired man was finally easing at the masked man's presence. Anything closer though Zhi Ruo might as well call it gay, not that she'd judge of course, but she'd certainly enjoy teasing whoever makes an reaction though.

'But what if these dolts are Bi??' Zhi Ruo's thoughts suddenly made an abrupt turn. 'Aint people back th

    Zhi Ruo watched interested at the intense display of defenses the 5th placer showed, dispite the fact that he was close combatant in the first place. It was like he had prior experience with dealing with opponent's like the one that he got. That, or he adapted his fighting style while he was fighting that particular opponent.The young miss thinks that it's both as she adjusted her mask, silently contemplating on what she would be doing next after the 5th placer's fight was done. Zhi Ruo knew that the fight was coming to an end, 5th placer's opponent may have superior stamina and had a large Qi capacity.But Zhi Ruo saw the 5th placer slip a pill through his lips as he applied basic enchantment on his body parts. It turns out the 5th placer took a page from Zhi Ruo's books. Of you can't defeat an opponent because there stats are higher than you, then using external help was needed.It wasn't like the tournament banned the use of such things when fighting, rather than that, Zhi even ha

    She didn't realize that it was 'that' expensive, she could get that type of pill any day she wanted if she just had enough materials and resources for it. Which was always available, because of her mark. Zhi Ruo almost forgotten when she had problems in getting such pills, she realized that not everyone was as privileged as her.Her face wrinkled as she watched as the medics finally left the 5th placer and the practitioner alone so that he could be finally announced as the winner. The medics turned their attention at the corpse not far from where they were standing, and found that the others were already starting to scrape the blood off the pavement floor."Han Wanran proceeds to the next round as the winner of this battle!" The practitioner's voice overlapped the announcer's voice as he declared the 5th placer as the winner. Though, the 5th placer should now be considered, and formally known as Han Wanran now.Zhi Ruo tapped her finger at her arms chain in a repeatedly chain of rythm

    A few minutes later, Han Wanran was eating the food that Ravel had on hand after giving Zhi Ruo a grateful smile when he was informed that Ravel was Zhi Ruo's butler. Among these few minutes, Han Wanran was then filled in with what happened when he and Alberu was away. To say the least that Han Wanran could not stop giggling was an understatement. The guy was was soon full blown up laughing by the time Zhi Ruo finished her soda that was disguised as tea. By then, the girl was just tuning ot whatever nonetheless the rest were speaking. She was far to tired to deal with their constant teasing.Soon, another one joined the ones on the podium. And unsurprisingly (because everyone was watching the fight in the first place) the green robed youth walked up the podium with large patches of injuries, bloodied and dirty wounds, that littered across his body.The wounds were poorly wrapped with some gauze, and Zhi Ruo could tell no one bothered to clean the wounds before wrapping them up like i

    "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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
