"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.

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.

He tried to console himself, to look on the brighter side of the situation.Having Peng Mingxia as a physician guest in the Liu may bring some eyes towards them, but it also meant that he, the general, and his family could be saved from the illness they have.

Peng Mingxia indifferently walked inside the building, his face under the veiled straw hat did not even change. Even after smelling the putrid odor coming from the room. The general was already being woken up by the head mama when the head steward and the physician arrived.The doctor physician silently took off his veiled straw hat with his other hand, and set his back on a nearby stool. His piercing grey steel eyes met the general's stare. His face was finally revealed.His hair was ash grey that stopped to his chin, unlike the social norms of men in this empire to have long hair as a sign of piety and virility. It matched his grey steel eyes, he looked somber and cool as he surveyed his surroundings. His lips quirked into a resting smile when he saw the general."This physician greets the general."

Her face was ghastly, if someone knew any better they would've thought that the head mama was the one who was on the verge of dying.The general glared at the head mama silently, he didn't want to repeatedly chastise his subordinates for he did not have the energy to do so. Upon noticing the glare, the head mama's neck retreated to her torso, she shut her mouth up dutifully after that."Rest assured General, I specialize in this area. One could say that poison is one of my specialties. The brothers and sisters in the alchemist association often praised me for it after all." The smile on Peng Mingxia face became faker to the onlookers inside the room, as he lightly reminded the general and his aids not to worry.

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.

[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.

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.

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

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
