Both Naomi and Lisa were sitting inside a restaurant nearby the inn they were staying. Due to the large population Ashin has, it took them a while to wait before they finally found themselves a table which was beside the glass wall. Through it, they can see the scene outside the restaurant.
The food they've ordered weren't too much and it was delivered to their table instantly. Seeing the appetizing appearance as well as smelling its aroma, Naomi hadn't hesitated to pick up her spoon and fork and dig in. She ate like a starved wolf on which resulted to the table manners she had learned in Florence since she was young to be nowhere to be found.It didn't took Naomi long to finish her food. Currently, she was leaning in her chair and was looking outside while her company, Lisa, was still eating. Compared to Naomi's table manners earlier, she ate in a calm and unhurried manner."Right, how long would it take you to help me go back in Florence?" Naomi leSoon after, the old man came back with a bunch of herbs that were of different varieties."Here are all the herbs that you requested." The old man said as he carefully put the herbs in the reception desk and looked at Lisa with an amiable smile. Since Naomi was a stranger to the medicinal field, the herbs looked like grass to her.As for Lisa, it was a good thing that she was fond of reading books which included medicinal books that helped her discern the herbs she had bought that totally looked like a bunch of grasses in Naomi's eyes. Although Naomi was similar to Lisa's fondness over reading books, most of the books she have read were novels of different genres and since she was from a different world, there were a lot of things that were different from each other in the place she was currently in and with the place she came from. Let's take the apple she have picked from the Labyrinth Forest during the first day that she transmigrated into th
"Seriously, that's the fifth book already!"In a certain library, Naomi's complaining voice was so loud that it was hard for the people around not to notice her, especially since she was just basically near the tables. The librarian, who was in the library's reception, glared at her sternly. Naomi noticed the librarian's stern gaze as well as the other people's gaze at her. She looked at the librarian and made a gesture of zipping her mouth. As for the other people present, she looked at them as she nodded and smiled awkwardly and quickly turned away.She turned to look at Lisa, who was checking out books ahead of her, and went near her. "Hey. Aren't I just going to learn cultivation? Why is there a need for you to pick so many books?" Naomi complained as she offered to show the books she was carrying that was stacked on one another.'If it were novels, I wouldn't complain but these books... argh!' Naomi grumbled inwardly.
The kingdom of Arkin was located in the north and opposite its direction was the forest no common people dared to enter—Labyrinth Forest. The kingdom of Arkin was founded 500 years ago by the first emperor, Emperor Yuan. It was said that the capital of Arkin was originally a village and the people who lived at that village were all normal people who can't cultivate but something unfortunate happened that a lot of people living in that village as well as a lot of constructions were wiped out and destroyed. In the end, only a few remained. Emperor Yuan was the son of the village's chief and seeing the village his father and his fellow villagers have formed get destroyed and remembering those lives that were lost in that unfortunate event, he was naturally not willing to let everything pass. Thus, together with the remaining villagers, they planned to re-establish their village and due to Emperor Yuan being the son of the villag
After a few hours, the person sitting on the bed slowly opened her eyes. She felt relaxed and at the same time, slightly uncomfortable.Naomi frowned as she went to check herself. When she was finished, she found out that there was no problem with her."What's up with you?" A voice sounded steps away from her.Naomi looked at the direction of the voice and found Lisa sitting in the same chair she had sat on earlier and was sipping tea."I think there's something wrong with my body." This time, it was Lisa's turn to frown.'Could it be a mild backlash from cultivating?' This thought passed by in Lisa's mind but she shrugged it off. 'Doesn't seem like it.' "How do you feel?" Lisa asked.Naomi looked at her in the eyes, "I feel relaxed but there is something within me that makes me feel uncomfortable." She sounded slightly worried which made Lisa fell into a trance.
"I'm going out for a while." Lisa spoke as she stood up from the chair. "Where are you going?" "In the library."It'd been a few days since Naomi started to cultivate. During the past few days, she fell in love with cultivating that aside from eating and sleeping, she devoted majority of her time into cultivating.In the past few days, Lisa have teached her some stuff about cultivating that she still doesn't know like the blue strange ball that was residing in her body. The strange ball was called dantian—a spiritual core—and it is where a person's spiritual energy would gather. Whenever a cultivator breakthrough and reach another tier of cultivation, that cultivator's dantian would expand as well. When Naomi heard that the strange ball was called dantian, she couldn't think about anything else except for 'what a nice coincidence.'As for why her dantian is colored blue, the colo
"How much is this?""It's 5 copper coins for three pieces.""Then I'll take it!""Please wait for a minute."Naomi stood in front of a stall while waiting with anticipation. The owner of the stall skewered three candied fruits that looked glossy in a stick and when he saw Naomi's gaze full of anticipation—who also looked like drooling—he can't help but chuckle as he added two more of those candied fruits."Here, take it. The extra two pieces are for free." The stall owner said as he handed the stick over to Naomi.Naomi received it happily."Thank you, uncle!" She thanked the stall owner politely before leaving.It was not a good idea for her to stay in front of the stall any longer since there were also several people who were lining behind her and staying there might only cause some inc
The pair had walked quite far from the park and the both of them were holding hands while there was food in their available hands. Suddenly, Naomi thought of something. "We have been together for a while now yet you haven't told me your name. What's your name?" Naomi asked as she took a bite from the food she was holding with her left hand which turned out to be a crepe. "Big sister can call me Sophia." The little girl who was holding her hand, Sophia, answered her. A crepe was also present at her right hand. "Sophia? That's a nice name." Sophia looked up at Naomi and showed a sweet smile on which Naomi reciprocated. "Big sister, where are we going next?" Sophia asked. Ever since the both of them got along from the food stall in the park, Sophia was continuously addressing her as Big Sister. Nao
"Hehe, why are you here?"His words were like a bomb that was suddenly dropped. Naomi, the young man in light blue robe, and the crowds were all stunned when they heard his questions.He knows the little girl?Their gaze landed on the young man in verdant robe, Austin, and noticed that he looked both slightly stunned and... fearful?This young man who has beaten up someone earlier confidently and was beaming happily after the beating knows how to feel fear? The most ridiculous thing of all is that he is fearful towards a little girl whose age is no more than ten-years-old?Their gazes switched from Austin to the little girl, Sophia.They can't find anything no sense anything abnormal from the little girl. Aside from looking somewhat similar to Austin and looking cute, there's nothing else.Wait...The little girl shar
