“Eat?”
Qing Wu You blinked, before turning to face his trusted servant Xiao Ku, as if trying to make sure he wasn’t mishearing things. When he saw his servant look back at him with a nod, Qing Wu You stared at his thin wrists and his skinny arms.
‘Is my first task to increase my appetite? Is it because I look smaller than my age? Does Boss want me to build up my body first? Should I ask my maids to make more rice…?’
Yin noticed the weird expression on the young boy’s pretty face that immediately returned to normal in a blink of an eye. Though both Xiao Ku and Qing Wu You were trained by the imperial household on how to maintain neutral appearance in front of people, Yin’

A hundred laps for an ordinary disciple in a field where someone of his age would normally pass out after running less than twenty laps? Were they supposed to run for at least two, no, three days nonstop? Would they even achieve their goals without crawling their way to the end? W-Was Yin evil incarnate from hell? Well, that’s a moral question for Ye Zhihao and Qing Wu You to later understand… that they hadn’t truly known what evil and hell truly was. Looking at the back of their boss as she walked away, the two boys could only swallow their despair and grit their teeth. Since each of them came to know Yin due t

112 - Doubts (2)Yin’s original body.Her true self was born a long, long time ago, back when the concept of Time was new, when the universe was still young and unexplored, and when the countless planes and worlds were barely developed. Civilizations were far and few in between, and the powerhouses of that time mostly moved either on their own or in small groups. The gates between worlds were yet to be formed, and travel between the countless planes, each filled with varying overlords, mythical creatures and heavenly treasures, was uncomplicated.It was a time of conflict and bloodshed. Chaos ruled each life, and disorder was the primary law of survival. Various ancient clans and creatures with powerful bloodlines existed and co-mingled together in fierce competition, and the strong trampled over the weak

113 - Wu Family (1)Inside the Tenth Elder’s temporary manor…A beautiful and elegant lady with a long sword strapped on her waist came half-running towards the pavilion where newly arrived guests were being served hot tea by the servants. Although it was still early in the morning, as it was the second day of the grand banquet and as one of the elites of the Battle Court, the elegant lady was busy with her patrol duties when one of the disciples came to inform her that the Wu Family had paid a visit to the Tenth Elder’s residence. Despite her heroic appearance, her expression was both gentle and joyful like that of a little girl’s as she immediately excused herself from her duties.“Brother!”“Xuan’er!”

114 - Wu Family (2)“That Ye Hua isn’t bullying you, is he?”Wu Xuan’er merely smiled at the provocative question. “Hua-gege treats me dearly. You know his sincerity the best. Brother need not worry.”Wu Xuan’er and Ye Hua were not childhood sweethearts. As two younger generation geniuses, the two of them grew up competing with each other and were in fact rivals in swordsmanship.Years ago, the one who was closest to Ye Hua was in fact Wu Anjian. As powerhouses of Leaf City, there had been many times where they needed to team up to clean the savage beasts lingering in the forest bordering Leaf City and nearby Sunroot City. Ye Hua was the strongest disciple under Ye Mo’s Battle Court, and thus, despite being only in the Founda

Wu Anjian had a stern expression on his face as he met the gaze of Wu Xuan’er not as her older brother, but as the Patriarch of the Wu Family.“The real reason why I’m here is because I wish for Xia’er to be allowed to learn beside Young Miss Yin.”Wu Xuan’er lifted a pretty brow in surprise upon hearing her older brother’s words, before turning to look at her niece who had been sitting in somewhat commendable behavior for a while now. Wu Pingxia was the youngest of Wu Anjian’s children, and despite being the only daughter, she was also the most unruly one among them all. It was purely because she was the apple of the eye of her father and older brothers.Truth be told, Wu Pingxia wasn’t particularly talented in cultivation, much less the sword. That was why the

116 - Talks of War As Wu Xuan’er listened to her older brother’s explanation with wide eyes, a sense of lingering fear started to crawl deep inside her heart. Her normally smooth forehead was creased, giving an impression of vulnerability to this usually sweet-faced lady. There had been various attacks on the villages under the jurisdiction of the Leaf City, and many factions, along with the three giant powers, had dispatched their members and disciples in response to the growing worry among the populace. Just a few days ago, two teams headed by inner sect disciples of the middle-staged Foundational Spirit Realm had reported that a number of villages were pillaged by enemies of unknown origins. However, for the Ye Sect, the mobilization of disciples of this level were merely in the form of voluntary missions to ea

Although he was a mere servant with a humble unassuming appearance, the disciples of the Ye Sect all gave way to him. Ever since they arrived, the disciples were severely warned about showing respect in front of the guests from the imperial capital. However, in addition to awe, there was fear in their eyes at the imperial crest stitched on his robes. Xiao Ku did not pay them any mind as he was already used to such high treatment, not only due to his identity as someone trusted by the imperial family, but also due to his high cultivation base. Despite being a subordinate of the imperial f

118 - Should I Continue To Play Pretend…?After finishing a number of Dao Paintings, Yin admired them for a bit before keeping them in her spatial pouch, intending to give them to the boys after they’re done with their first physical task. With these, it could be said that they would formally start learning in her tutelage.Though the old servant Xiao Ku was surprised that a little girl possessed a precious treasure that contained spatial laws, something that was rare even within the venerable figures among the great clans in the imperial capital, he did not find it unexpected and was calmly cleaning up the mess on the writing table. As someone who had interacted with Yin for several days, he had already started getting immunity to all the absurd things about her.After all, this was a girl who could crea

Scholar Rai held the ancient scroll between two calloused fingers, studying the faded ink with narrowed eyes. The papyrus was brown with age, the content written in a verbose and grand manner, as was usually the case with writings from hundreds of years ago. Its importance could not be translated into words. In fact, it surprised him that his lord father managed to keep these imperial treasures away from the capital.It had taken him twice the usual time to understand the runes. He found himself impressively overwhelmed not only by the sheer historic importance of these documents, but also because the prophecies spoke of the expiration of the bloods of the Old.He feared that the first of the visions written have come into passing.The scrolls he found were written by the last of the true prophets, during a time of historic darkness, the Legaliath Cross, back when magic was free to be harnessed by every man and woman and child.

"You find this funny, Silver?" This was the first time that Lakas had directly addressed her in a conversation. She could not help but shudder at the slight amusement that colored his normally stern voice. "He could have killed you."Her smile widened.Lakas almost mirrored her expression, but then when he realized that he had spectators in the form of the other three girls inside her cage, he erased any trace of emotion from his face. "The four of you are currently part of the most prized collection of the emperor, but let me warn you. Not all warriors in this camp think the same as I do. You girls are precious, but you are replaceable. Think before you act."As soon as he left, the oldest of the girls, a beauty with curly flaxen hair and foliage green eyes scooted close to her. It was the first time anyone attempted to communicate with her. Most of the time, she was simply left alone in her corner of the cage.

The survivors were placed in metal cages where the heathens could openly leer at them, appreciating the goods before they were sold. The young warrior called Lakas looked incredibly silly with parchment and quill in his bloody hands, and his annoyed look did not escape her when he was tasked to make an inventory of the slaves."Name?"While the prisoners around her sobbed and wailed for their losses, Enna merely tried to make herself small in a corner. She never spoke. She never raised her head.Lakas snatched her chin. He was scowling. "Name?"When she refused to answer, the bald man behind Lakas growled before backhanding her. "Stupid girl! Tell us your name so that we can be done with this sham and leave!"Elbows shaking, she sat up, gazing at them with tired silvery eyes. Still, she did not open her mouth."You – "Lakas stopped the man with a wave. "Drop it. I will simply write Silver."The man smirked.

*She woke up to a strangled sound akin to an injured animal.Crying.Someone was crying.As the sound grew louder, she stirred, slowly, groaning due to the escalating pain at the base of her skull. Opening her eyes, she saw bloody bodies around her. Bile rose, and she emptied the contents of her stomach into the scarlet snow. After a few fuzzy seconds, she realized with relief that most of the bodies around her appeared to be moving. Bloody, but alive. She profusely thanked the good Spirits that there were people who still lived, despite the nagging thought that most of them would have preferred to have died along with their dignity and families.Her arms and feet were bound. Bound with thick ropes. She tried to stretch her legs, grasping too late that she was merely a stride away from the big fire that her captors made.She flinched from the pain.It was the same kind of burning pain that paralyzed her before she blacked out.It was also her first memory.

The heathens burned the temples. They attacked the farms. They destroyed everything from tiny peasant homes to historical monuments more than hundreds of years old. People who resisted died. People who surrendered died. The snow-clad village of Cardia was stained red. Blood of men. Blood of women. Blood of children.The enemy's arrival was silent; their attack sudden. The sleepy spell brought by winter on the border village was broken by animalistic screams of pain. Cries of people burning were everywhere. There were shrieks of villagers dying. By midnight, half of Cardian population was slain mercilessly by the bronze-skinned men covered in wolf pelts.The invaders relished the sight of the pale people bleeding, enjoying every slash of sword and arrow released as the village burned. They meant to annihilate every Northerner. They were humans on bloodlust — hungry predators on the hunt.They proudly called themselves the sons of Summer.

Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (3)A fair-skinned human girl no taller than the height of his waist, wearing a satin robe that was neither stained by blood or mud. Big eyes on a small face, perfectly arranged black hair in a style of braided bun, delicately balanced features that indicated she would surely grow into a gorgeous young lady given a few years.Her adorable appearance made one have an urge to pinch her chubby cheeks, and if there were any females around, Ye Mo felt that they would fawn over how the little girl looked like a beautiful living, breathing doll.‘And it’s not a sight that should be seen in the middle of a battlefield.’Ye Mo tried to open his mouth to say something, but he remained unable to utter even a single word.‘Dangerous.’It didn’t make sense, but that was what his intuition was telling Ye Mo. His body wasn’t responding—there was no flight impulse, no, there wasn’t even an attempt to fight against the girl, even if it’s a last act of survi

She felt like staying would give her a huge headache, but she was tied up by all the connections she made in this city.The Qing Blessed Lands had officially entered the state of war.Though communication was crippled, Little Yin was able to overhear the intelligence gathered by the hidden experts brought by the Purple Plumed General.Immortal Wuwei’s timely arrival managed to save Ye Sect and the entire Leaf City, but that wasn’t the same with the other cities.

264 - The Girl Who Cannot be Remembered (1) “Uncle, are you all right?” It was Ye Hua who first noticed that Ye Mo was acting strange. The man’s eyes were looking at the people in the room as if they were people he had not seen for a long time. There was recognition in his gaze, as well as a kind of dissonance. “Huh? Yeah…yeah…” After staying unconscious for days and almost crossing the fine line of life and death, it was reasonable for Ye Mo to be in a daze, and everyone thought so as well. But Ye Hua’s intuition was telling him that his uncle was not just confused, but actually not in a normal state of mind. However, he decided to stay quiet. Because he felt that Little Yin had something to do with this. The young man’s eyes glanced in the direction of the little girl, who brought them all towards the room saying that Ye Mo should be waking up soon. Ye Hua remembered that incident several days ago, that eerie darkness that made his soul tremble. A power that could oppose n

Confusion was the only thing he could feel aside from the head-splitting pain, though he was trying to calm himself and follow the words of the little girl to embrace his memories.‘Since I died, shouldn’t I undergo samsara? Why am I seeing the memories of my former reincarnations?’What happened to him before he appeared and walked around that endless darkness?No, wait, what was he doing before the little girl appeared?He was swinging his sword against—The little girl frowned when she saw the images swimming inside his mind.“Outers.”Gaaaasp!She reached out her small chubby hands and touched the crown of his head, and she channeled her spiritual energy inside his body, focusing it on erasing those images that did not belong to him or to this era.“You are in so much pain because you took a peek at
