"Achoo," Zhu Na Ran sneezed as she sat in bed. "Euh, this is so crazy," she muttered as she wiped her nose. "I'm nearly at Core Foundation; my body should be immune to these kinds of things." After the would lake incident, I brought Zhu Na Ran over to the imperial clinic to warm herself up, although she was somewhat reluctant. Insisting the whole way that she was fine and that all she needed was a change of clothes. Hmm, right. I wasn't about to take any chances of Zhu Na Ran getting sick. Now in fresh…-

"Woah! This place is huge!" Intricate gold designs and jade inlays in the walls, and a vibrant array of flowers and greenery amongst pale white snow, this place might be a garden from heaven! Hehe, as expected from one of the most significant nations of this land, every nook and cranny practically dripped with money and wealth! (✧∇✧) This place is incredible! "Don't run off; it's dangerous for you to wander through the palace aimlessly," Senior Sister warned as she walked up from behind. "Eh, I…

In a large grand hall, tensions between masters and elders grew as they argued about what to do with an impending danger that was to come. A mysterious evil that has finally begun to stir from its ancient slumber. "We should send out some outer sect disciples to investigate the problem," one elder advocated as a mummer of others mumbled their agreement. "By sending out small pods of outer sect disciples, we could efficiently control this growing problem and cover more ground. Besides, this could serve…

"Heh, so all this worry was because of a sword," how ridiculous. Stroking the ice blue sword that laid on the table of my room, I felt a cold icy breeze go through the room. How interesting. Picking up the sword, I pulled the sword out of its sheath. With a crisp ring, the silver sword glided out of its case, relieving a beautiful sharp sword. Fiddling with the blade, I found it had a good weight and was well balanced, a similar feeling to the qi blades I usually used. Junior Sister must've worked…

"Senior Sister, I know this may be a bit, uh, unexpected" nervously fidgeting, I hid the sword from 'Senior Sister's' view as I tried to think of words to say. "But, um… I got you this sword! So, um, happy birthday!" Taking out the sword, I held it out with both hands while looking at 'Senior Sister's' reaction. 'Senior Sister' looked back at me blankly as a porcelain vase would, only reflecting the image of nervousness at me. "Ugh," dropping my arms, I straightened my back to try again. I have to…

"Thank you, but I must go!" Instinctively reaching out her arm, Fei Fu Qu attempted to grab the fleeting silhouette of Zhu Na Ran, to no avail as she found that she couldn't move her feet forward. "Xiao Ran… please don't go…" Why is it that she can never seem to grab hold of the one she wants? A sense of helplessness and resentment welled up in her chest as she watched Zhu Na Ran leave. The streets quiet as a gentle evening breeze blew by, utterly oblivious to her sorrow. As Zhu Na Ran disappeared…

"Wah! Senior Sister's hometown is so big!" Looking around the various civilians and decorations, no doubt, I must look like some sort of country bumpkin. It doesn't help that I look like one for that matter. Ah, if only I could wear the clothes that I sto- ahem, borrowed from that young man before, however, I didn't want to attract any attention to myself, so I had no choice but to wear my old set of clothes that were being held together by mere threads. Even worse is that I have no money! Wu wu wu,…

'My son wants to make that bastard his heir.' Grandfather's words rang through my mind as I walked back to my courtyard, followed by Xia Jia, who skittered behind. Despite my resilience to the weather, I couldn't help but feel my hand grow cold as Grandfather's words echoed within my mind. Why does Father want to make Third Brother his heir? He's not even his blood-related son, nor is he even distantly related to the family. He's not Second Mother's blood son either, rather an orphan child she raised…

Stepping out of the carriage, I took a deep breath of the chilly air and waited for Eldest Brother to climb out. I stood before the large red lacquer gates of Ye Residence with a strange feeling in my gut. An odd mixture of dread and longing all bundled together with a twinge of happiness. "Whew, finally home," stretching his long limbs, Eldest brother did a few stretches before walking up beside me. "What are you standing around for? Let's go inside." After beckoning the guards to open the gates, the…

"The transportation array for the capital city is ready! Travelers, please come this way!" Looking over the line forming for the transpiration array, I got up from my seat and walked over to the front to give my ticket to the ticket master. "Right this way, young miss," after collecting my ticket, the ticket master pointed to the vast array platform where a line formed. One by one, each patron stood on the platform before they there teleported away to their next destination. "Next!" Stepping up onto…
