"Whew! It's finally time to go back home!" Hopping out of the carriage, I couldn't help but stretch my stiff limbs. ヾ(＠^∇^＠)ノ Around me, civilians bustled by as people filtered in and out of the teleportation station. The air is filled with liveliness as sellers hawked their wares, and children played in the snow. Taking in the fresh winter morning air, I greedily inhaled the cold air. Finally, no longer within my confinement! No longer being held down in bed by Senior Sister and made to…-

I stood in a vast green plain, dotted with morning frost patches as the buds of spring started to break through the soil. The air was fresh and quiet as the world began to wake up from its night slumber. Have I been here before? This place seems nostalgic, yet I couldn't pinpoint precisely when I had come here. Hmm, I wonder if I just saw this place in the passing. I did travel a lot for some time, so it wouldn't be surprising if I walked through here before. "Naran!" Whipping my head around, I…

So it's time to go back. It had been a little more than a week since Zhu Na Ran and I left Yun Cai Peak for the capital of the Chu Nation, however, much had happened in the cultivation world in our absence. Unfolding Master's letter, it read: 'To my disciples, Although you had only left our humble sect a few days ago, unfortunately, it's time for you to come back and fulfill your duties as Yun Cai Peak's martial aunts. According to some sect scouts and the alarm of other smaller sects, there has been…

"Haha, hi, Senior Sister." How the heck did I get myself into a situation like this? ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ Trying my best not to appear intimidating, I plastered a broad smile on to cover up my nervousness within. (ﾟωﾟ;) Senior Sister, please drop the sword away from me! I don't want its first blood to be that of its creator! (';ω;`) "Junior Sister," dropping her sword, she placed it back into its sheath. "What are you doing here?" "Haha, um, you know, I'm just," I tried to think of a reasonable…

Heh, well… This is awkward. ( ד○ ד;) In the large dining hall, the sound of chopsticks clinked against porcelain bowls as Senior Sister's family and I sat around a large circular table, no one had said a word since the meal started. It's been a few days since the imperial banquet, and to my surprise, the head of the household invited me over for dinner for the first time since I arrived. Well, I suppose I can't complain as I did arrive uninvited. Senior Sister seemed hesitant to let me dine with…

"You know Senior Sister, it's a bit strange," holding onto Senior Sister's arm, I could tell we weren't too far from the banquet we slowly approached closer to the warm lantern lights. "What's strange?" "Em, well, I know you said that I shouldn't approach that big sister, but I can't help but have a strange feeling when I'm around her." "Oh?" "Yeah, I don't know. For some reason, even though that big sister may appear dangerous to you, but she doesn't seem to want to harm me." "Is that so?" "Em,"…

"Why do you not want me to associate with that big sister," rubbing the area where she grabbed, a faint pink mark remained on Zhu Na Ran's wrist, "Do you not like her or something?" Turning around, she grabbed Zhu Na Ran's shoulders. "Just listen to me for once, and stay away from her!" "Woah," Zhu Na Ran's eyes widened in surprise before she grasped onto her hands. The warmth of Zhu Na Ran's hands slowly warmed her cold ones, as an uncharacteristic look of worry appeared on Zhu Na Ran's face. "Senior…

Once back in the imperial clinic, Zhu Na Ran changed back into some proper attire. Although her clothes were still a bit damp, they should dry by the time she would leave. 'Whew! It would be nice if I could've taken a hot bath, but I suppose I must work with what I have.' "So, A-Tong," coming over to the little girl seated on a bench, she asked. "How is your ankle? Do you feel any discomfort?" "Em, no," A-Tong shook her head as she held a hand warmer in her hands. "It doesn't hurt that much." "Hmm,…

"Hey! Come back here, you beast!" Huffing and puffing through the snow, Zhu Na Ran attempted to chase after a slick little snow fox. Its mischievous black eyes twinkled against its snowy coat and, in its mouth, was a yulan hairpin. It looked back at Zhu Na Ran's heaving form, mockingly. 'Hah, I can't believe this little beast dares to steal Senior Sister's hairpin!' (ʘ言ʘ╬) As she continued to curse the fox mentally, it continued to hop away. Although her poor attire of thin inner clothes and…

In the grand banquet hall for the ladies, young girls and married women of the nobility mingled amongst each other. Some spoke of perspective marriage matches, while others bragged about their latest accessories and attire. However, in the corner of the warm and vibrant hall, a chilly presence permeated the air. "My, my," covering her mouth with her sleeve, a young woman dressed in frillies stood before Ye Lian Hua's table and her entourage of maidens. "Second, Young Miss Ye, I never expected that you…
