2022-12-19 23:10:00Zhi Ruo started to heal Yu Zhúlín as the people around them burst into chatter. The announcement on the hologram board unanimously announced that they made it to the semi finals. There was nothing that they could not be happy about. Majority of the contestants were relieved. But that was a given.
"Would you look at that, we made to the semi finals." The 5th placer wondered aloud, his voice seemed softer compared to the excited cahhter that was going on inside the room. He watches as Zhi Ruo focuses on Yu Zhúlín's injury.
Zhi Ruo removed her hands from Yu Zhúlín's body, and started tugging on the bandages on his arms that was coated with dried blood (because Yu Zhúlín wasn't a 'stay still' kind of person hence the blood). "Congrats to us I guess," Zhi Ruo shrugged her shoulders as she conversed with her group.

"I was tasked to inform that everyone from this room is to be escorted out and unto the main arena." The staff started, his gaze became firmer by the second.Seeing that everyone in the room was quietly listening to him, his actions became more relaxed and febrile the more he spoke. "Congratulations, you all will now be proceeding to the semi finals. The rules will be revealed once everyone has already gathered outside." He took a deep bow, and excused himself after that."Everyone please do follow me." The staff seemed to had forgotten that he was tasked to escort everyone in the designated place, he returned and sheepishly informed everyone before walking again. In his nervousness, he did not let anyone have anytime to prepare as the contestant

This woman had pointed ears and dilated pupils, her eyes were so eye catching because they were golden in color her pupils were black. It was very apparent that this woman was not human. Zhi Ruo glanced at the hologram board that displayed tye woman's image. And back at the miniscule figure of the woman down below.The contestants wasn't sure if the announcer's voice was much better than the loud cheers of the entire audience. But both were loud, and annoying as numerous bees buzzing around one's ears. Nonetheless, the contestants looked towards the rows opposite of theirs, and narrowed their eyes upon seeing their opponents."Everyone, the tournament will be starting. And as per usual the winner will receive the resources from the emperor! Do note that this resources extends to your family, organization, clan, faction, society, group and so on and so forth!"

"The battle is now commencing." The practitioner could not help but comment at the sides, specifically outside the barrier, seeing the two individuals that were just standing inside with not a single movement. But as expected, both contestants were silent at his reminder, the eyebrows of the practitioner could not help but twitch at the blatant actions of the two contestants.Suddenly, like the bottled up emotions of the muscular hunk of flesh that was Zhi Ruo's opponent exploded. He brandished his sword that was bigger than Zhi Ruo's whole body, and attacked with fervor. His actions set ablaze the crowd and the fight was finally starting with much anticipation from anyone watching.Zhi Ruo wasn't one to be left behind in terms of brute strength. Afterall, her weapon left her much choice but to 'BE' strong despite her meager size. Zhōngguó was brandished much like how the muscula

The younger girl didn't waste anytime, seeing the high density ball of Qi headed at her way, Zhi Ruo activated her newly aquired skill the 'skill capsule'. Slowly, a whistle broke through the air, silencing the crowd that was watching the fight, everyone fought to cover their ears, their cheers muted briefly. A large gacha like container appeared in the air, and Zhi Ruo's eyes watched in odd fascination as numerous runes ran across this gacha like container. Without any warning, this gacha like container that was covered in runes swallowed the attack that was heading her way. The ball of Qi disappeared under the eyes of many, and the gacha container closed with a click. Zhi Ruo realized that the container was slowly shrinking and much like the floating ball of fire beside Zhi Ruo, the container, now looking like a pill floated around her too. It glowed like the ball of Qi that it swallowed. 'So that's why it's called Skill capsule, it literally became a capsule.' Zhi Ruo silently mu

The man let out a silent scream as he was being crushed under the ancient weapon. Zhi Ruo did not waste anytime and flipped the heavy body underneath her while keeping Zhōngguó above the man. The wraith devourer floated closely in the man's face, litting up the man's silent and very much impactful (for the crowd) expression.The man looked up at Zhi Ruo, because of his higher realm, he could move only his head. But only his head.But what could that do, when he could not move his body. It's not like he could bute Zhi Ruo to death. Rather, the only thing Zhi Ruo's opponent could do was curse the younger girl that was looking down at him with amusement. Even he could feel the amusement rolling of Zhi Ruo, 'even' with the mask over her face.The capsule that was floating around Zhi Ruo, the one that was sized like a pill capsule neare

Ravel helped Zhi Ruo clean her hair also, the thick clump of blood fell off without much of a fight under Ravel's skillful ministration. Zhi Ruo's face was prestine underneath her mask, and for a while Ravel caught a glimpse. And he was reminded how much of a peerless beauty his master was.Ravel may have seen Zhi Ruo's face briefly, and even so, it made him choke on his breath. He inwardly laughed inside his mind. His master was a peerless beauty, he wonders if his master chose to put on her mask to avoid admirers and useless jealousy.But this thoughts remained unspoken as he tied Zhi Ruo's hair on a knot.Surprisingly, Zhi Ruo could see through the mask despite it not having any holes. She could even breath freely like there wasn't a mask over her face. She smiled silently and arranged the mask once again out of habit.

"Is the gun that I gave you not enough? You want me to be your portable healer now?" Zhi Ruo bit back unwillingly, she rolled her eyes, her attention was still caught up at the fight that was happening in front of her. The masked man choked in disbelief, this made the 5th placer smile. "What do you mean portable healer??? I'm just saying that would you help me when I would get injured." The masked man harrumphed and pouted at Zhi Ruo.Zhi Ruo raised her hands and pinched her thumb and index finger, the universal sign for money. "And heal you for free? No thanks." The girl rubed her fingers together. If the masked man wanted to be healed, he has to atleast pay her with something. "Hey! You healed those two for free, why don't you heal me too and give the same treatment as them." Indignant, the masked man pointed at the two people fighting at the screen. "Yeah, just treat him as an extra baggage." The 5th p
Reborn in another world [I bet the patriarch doesn't even know that his granddaughter is a witch doctor now]
The crowd was murmuring near Zhi Ruo's podium, some were even blatantly pointing at her direction, seeming surprised to see that Zhi Ruo was even capable of doing what she was doing— healing. The word healing was used far to vaguely, that when the mortals saw a cultivator 'heal' someone, they could not help but be surprised.Those who were on the path to immortality weren't as surprised as the mortals, though they were still surprised, but it was the diluted surprise tht they felt. They had certainly heard about healing, much like what Zhi Ruo was doing, but it didn't mean that healing 'like that' didn't exist, it was just rare.However the mortals did not share the same sentiment, they only ever heard of healing through mouth to mouth. And through time, things that came from one mouth to another was bound to change eventually. And thus, these kinds of things were spoken as if it was a legend— hushed, unsure, and was there as a reassurance, or t

The young women heard the middle aged woman's words, turned to look at the woman's hands who was dearly gripping the wine guard, and with a last huff she stayed silent. She looked resigned almost, as if she didn't want to argue anymore. Only the downturn of her lips were apparent in her features as she gaze blankly ahead.Seeing the silent treatment that the young women was putting on, the middle aged man's lips upturned into a smirk. The smugness was radiating off him as he straightened his back, the self assured confidence that radiated off him disgusted everyone in the room. Watching him put on a coat that was far too big for his status couldn't stop the looks of contempt that was shot on his way.As if he didn't notice the look that everyone was shooting at him. The middle aged man's eyes trailed away from the riches that the host was putting up to sell, and unto the pile of gold that was set at the corner of the room. Hi
[Surveillance]
Zhi Ruo's focus was on the host the moment the auction started, she placed her chin on the palm of her hand as she leaned on her knees looking ahead. Yuan Chuanli on the other hand, crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair, over looking the whole event with a 'ah, finally' written all over his face.Though his haughtiness was apparent on his face— well written on his facial expressions— the fact that his eyes kept in flickering on the other private rooms (much like the one that they were inside now) couldn't be kept hidden. At least, not from Zhi Ruo who was keenly aware of everything that was happening 10 meters around her."No matter how much you turn your head towards those rooms, you would never see what is inside them." Zhi Ruo spoke out, her eyes didn't leave the host who was explaining the rules of the auction per instructions. "Just keep your eyes peeled, the auction is just getting started." Her voice lightly adviced.
[Telltale]
[Qiao Liwei Auction house]Zhi Ruo gracefully accepted the outstretched hand offered by Ravel, who was dressed in his servant clothes. The only difference was, he had taken upon himself to don a white mask with no holes for the eyes nose and mouth. Stepping down from the carriage they had taken from the opulent mansion after their— quote on quote "satisfying lunch", she found Yuan Chuanli awaiting their arrival. As he had went out before her.His imposing figure stood tall, the clan's emblem prominently displayed on his back, drawing curious gazes from onlookers nearby. Both the participants of the auction and the bystanders that had nothing else to do but waut outside the auction house to try and take a good look of the rarely seem rich people.Zhi Ruo stepped beside Yuan Chuanli with a similar robe on her shoulders, adorning the Ye clan symbol of a similar fashion. She didn't mind the stares that was aimed at her, because in the first place, she didn't want to hide, nor cared to hid
[The Mansion]
With a brisk and determined pace, one that Yuan Chuanli grew to familiarize, Zhi Ruo arrived at the mansion she knew so well. Well, as much you can know from the daily reports of your butler that is. As she stepped inside, she couldn't help but notice the striking metamorphosis that had taken place. The familiar building and grounds remained, yet the ambiance and energy of the house had undergone a remarkable transformation. As Zhi Ruo led the way, Yuan Chuanli quietly followed, his initial grumbling fading away. Their path unveiled a street of lavish grandeur, unmistakably tailored for the privileged few who could afford such opulence. Yuan Chuanli couldn't help but entertain the thought that Zhi Ruo had led them astray. However, any words that formed on his lips died as his tongue was suddenly glued to the top of his mouth, he observed Zhi Ruo confidently and nonchalantly enter one of the most expansive estates.
[The Maid's Incompetence]
Yuan Chuanli stretched his hands upwards his shoulders popping in the motion, his face sported a refreshed look of satisfaction as he went out of the building with light steps. Obviously in a good mood. In the far distance, he could see Zhi Ruo's figure as she talked with her butler. He could not see Zhi Ruo's expression, but he certainly can see Ravel's.Without wasting anytime, he made his way towards the two with a look of inquiry. "The auction will start around one in the afternoon, it's still daytime and we haven't even gotten our lunch yet. What does the young miss intend to do?" Yuan Chuanli folded his hands underneath his clothes as he walked towards the duo.Upon hearing Yuan Chuanli, Ravel nodded his head. "Deciple Yuan Chuanli is right young miss, it would be advisable to eat before we attend the auction." Like a responsible servant, Ravel suggested to follow Yuan Chuanli's words. The two looked at Zhi Ruo's mask,
[Tassle]
The servant with the tassle smiled upon hearing Zhi Ruo's words, it was a tight lipped smile, as if she was saying that she knew something Zhi Ruo didn't. "It was the head that gave the order to give this to the young miss. I am to inform you that the resources that you chose and won from the tournament, along with the deed of the training ground, the plaque of the noble title, and the merit points, are inside the plaque in your hands."The servant's hands motioned for the rest of the servants in the room to line up at the sides, earning Yuan Chuanli's silent gaze. Zhi Ruo raised her brows upon hearing the servant's words, she then tied the plaque in the insides of her robe after shooting a nod towards the servant with a tassle."The head has had the heiress plaque be customize so that it can store storage now. The patriarch advices the young miss to not lose the plaque because it has now become more valuable than a mansion in the capital." The
[She's the heir]
Yuan Chuanli raised his hands and clenched on thin air as if he was clawing the clear sky above him, his face was red with unconcealed rage, and he looked close to launching himself towards Zhi Ruo. Who, even without showing the expression on her face because of her mask, still manage to annoy him to no end.Yuan Chuanli quickly realized that pretenses were useless in front of the person who is like Zhi Ruo. Because regardless of how you act in front of her her, in the end, if she is in the mood, you would be left coughing up blood in rage. Yuan Chuanli wasn't called 'boy genius ' for nothing, as he learned fast. And Yuan Chuanli learned to stop trying to control his emotions in front of Zhi Ruo, because Zhi Ruo wouldn't care if he broke his 'boy genius' façade anyways. The boy genius cannot help but feel rather offended of this somehow.But before he could do anything drastic, a woman greeted Yuan Chuanli
[Curious]
"Interesting people you say..." The owner echoed Alberu's words. The side of her lips pulled up in a quirk. A flash of uncertainty crossed her eyes looking at the representative of the Liu clan being led by her staff. 'Those guys are pretty bold to come inside without any disguises, are they not afraid of others spreading rumours? It's already bad enough that General Liu is already rumoured to have taken a bad turn in terms of his health. Now his people are coming in so brazenly. How careless, to think they even displayed their logo so proudly on their chests.' Yang Meixiang closed her fan, and tapped it gently on her palm, her thoughts were full of dissatisfaction towards the representatives of the Liu clan. Full of judgement she may have, but she could not voice these thoughts aloud.'Its also very unusual for his two concubine borne daughters to not appear in the socialite circles. In most cases, in big auctions like these, they are usually the first in line to book a private roo
[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
