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 announcer explained the

"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.

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

Zhi Ruo made herself comfortable on her chair, her eyes over looked at the whole arena below bypassing the hologram boards that was floating with the announcer's face plastered on it. She watched as the contestants take their places in the respective arena's awaiting their opponents from the opposite podium.The younger girl took this chance to look at the opposite podium where it was only visible if Zhi Ruo squinted her eyes narrow enough. If given the chance, she would have used this moment to trash talk the other party. Who knows maybe they will get annoyed enough and quit the tournament all together.Wishful thinking, wishful thinking, Zhi Ruo shook her head at this. But the fact that she wanted to trash talk the other party was still floating on the front of her head. After all, in tournaments, isn't it normal to trash talk the other party."Hey," Zhi Ruo suddenly muttered to the sides, catching Huo Feng and Yu Zhúlín's

The contestants that was with Zhi Ruo on the podium died a little when they saw that the young miss was picking a fight out of nowhere. This was especially so with Yu Zhúlín, after all this person was their newly appointed young miss. Their heart cracked a little upon seeing that Zhi Ruo was not stopping anytime soon."What are you doing?!" Huo Feng could not help but mutter, he stood up, wanting to urge Zhi Ruo back down from the railings that she was standing on. But the eyes that zeroed towards his direction from the audience made him broke out in a cold sweat."What's the matter?" Zhi Ruo asked innocently, her tone was leveled as if she did not just do something outrageous. "Why the pale face?" She asked some more, as if putting more gas to the fire to amuse herself. "Young miss, I can't breathe." Yu Zhúlín gasped from the sides. He revealed a tight and helpless smile. "Would you mind?" He motioned at the restraints that

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
