"Ah?"
Naomi was dumbfounded by his words. When she realized what was recently said to her, she became agitated."What do you mean by "I am blocking the way"?! It was you who bumped into me and as you can see, this isn't the only way since the road is wide enough for you or for another person to pass!!!" Naomi exclaimed while looking at the person opposite her with an angry expression and her chest, which was originally calm and steady, was now rising up and down fastly as she was panting and gasping for air.Still not satisfied with what she have just said, she went on to complain."I admit that you're handsome indeed, that you're like a perfect man. However, no matter how perfect you look, it still can't change the fact that you're dumb and and blind!!!"With all of that said, Naomi felt much better and a faint smile appeared on her face as she continued to look at the other party while feeling glorious. However, as she was basking underFantasies are often pictured as the 'epitome of a perfect world' by both young and old alike as a lot of things and happenings that are deemed impossible could be possible in the realm of fantasy.Existence of magic? Possible.The existence of angels and demons? Possible.Even the existence of flying pigs which is considered to be one of the most ridiculous ideas could also be possible.Although there are certain records in human history about the existences of these kinds of stuff, nobody could still prove their existences as these records had been passed down from generation to generation and the credibility of these records couldn't be proven as people tend to create various versions of what they've known which is also the case for the records involving unbelievable existences of what we deemed impossible.This is the reason why the existence of those mentioned above could be considered as the product of human imagination: fantasy.Maybe
The Flower Festival is one of the biggest events to happen in Florence.The people of Florence were very fond of flowers, especially women, that the vast majority of the land owned by those people living in Florence has been used to plant different kinds of flowers wherein some of those flowers nearing extinction were planted and cultivated but there are only a handful of them and some of these near extinction flowers are difficult to raise and would take a long time to mature.Since it's held in the season of spring where most flowers would bloom, the people of Florence decided to held a festival for the flower harvest which is what we call the "Flower Festival".Except for the locals, many people from neighbouring kingdoms would also come to visit Florence. Aside from those blooming flowers, there are also different kinds of stuff being sold at the streets like armors, clothes, and artifacts. There are many merchants who would come to Florence during this even
Both Naomi and Lillian was shocked to see the person who entered the room."SECOND UNCLE!"Naomi's voice reverberated in the whole room as she happily ran towards the person.That person chuckled and patted Naomi on her head like a kid.The person who entered was none other than Duchess Carmen's third son, Alistair. In all of Duchess Carmen's children, Alistair was the one who would often go out to travel and his whereabouts would be unknown. He would come home occasionally that it was hard for everyone to see him stay in Florence for too long.Although his whereabouts would be unknown, he would send some letters to his mother, reminding her that he was doing well and talk about other stuff.His arrival today haven't surprised Duchess Carmen but only the two ladies in the room."You still look short than ever, little lass.""What do you mean I still look short?! I grew 2 cm taller!" Naomi complained."I
Lillian give a quick chase to Naomi whose silhouette was slowly disappearing.Naomi stopped when she saw a hanging sign and stared at the place owning that sign which was the library. The sparkle in her eyes was still present and she stared at the library with those sparkles.She pushed the door which opened and the vintage interior of the library greeted her. The undisguised smell of both new and old books wafted together in the air.She went to look at the side and spotted something that made her smile."Lisa, something new today?" She walked in front of the library counter.The librarian, Lisa, have a huge spectacle on her eyes and freckles on her face. Her skin was tan and her hair was brown in colour which is currently tied in a fishtail braid.She was sitting down while reading a book and when she heard someone speaking to her, she immediately shut the book, stood up, and faced Naomi with a smile on her face."Well, yeah.
'Could it be a treasure?'With this possibility in her mind, she felt fearful towards the crystal ball.The thought of playing with it for a long time vanished in her mind. God knows how much a treasure is worth, be it a common, uncommon, or rare treasure and it is not something an ordinary person like me could afford.'Even if I save my lifetime salary, I can't fork out even half of a treasure's price...'Thinking back to her actions, Lillian's heart bled.'Good thing that I didn't damaged it even for a bit.' She cried inwardly.Lisa, who already snapped out of her deep thoughts, saw her staring fearfully at the crystal ball. A confused expression appeared on her face.She left the library counter and went near to Lillian while she stared at Lillian and the crystal ball repeatedly with a confused expression."What happened?" She asked.Lillian stared at her with the same fearful expression and glanced at the
The moon had already risen into the dark evening sky with the sun nowhere to be found.The once bustling streets of Florence became quiet, with the streetlights illuminating the darkness.The lights in every residences were already turned off which was the same in Naomi's residence.The door and windows of Naomi's room were closed and the heavy curtains were dropped to cover the windows. The atmosphere was warm.The room was quiet that the sound of Naomi's steady breathing could be heard.Her dream was nothing out of sort. What was happening in her dream was something she always wanted to experience in real life.Suddenly, the air enveloping the whole room became chilly which caused Naomi to frown due to the sudden coldness and grabbed the duvet tightly and draw it closer to her.At the same time, something bizarre is in her dreams. Compared to the usual vibrant dreams she would have, her dream this time was the complete opposit
Naomi crouched while hugging her knees, staring into the crystal clear glass shards with an emotionless face.Some crystal shards were scattered in the floor. Naomi picked a few and then threw it into the wall while still crouching.'What should I do?'Thinking of the circumstances she was in, Naomi wanted nothing more than to weep.'I never wanted to be transmigrated in an unknown world! If I did, atleast give me something that can help me!'Naomi was sullen and continued to pick and throw crystal shards as she remained silent and went deep into thoughts. Only the sound of crystal shards being thrown could be heard.This scenario continued for a while.Heaving a sigh, Naomi stopped and stood up, shaking the dirt off her snowy white clothes."I can't keep staying here and do nothing." She muttered to herself.'Okay. I need to get out of here.'She stared at the surroundings once again until her e
The dead branches and leaves that had fallen into the ground created a crisp sound as someone walked and happened to step on them.As Naomi walked forward, she kept looking around the area she passed by. Whether she walked into the right path that can lead her out of the forest, she wasn't sure about it herself.When she went out of the place she came from, on which she knew that it was a huge cave when she glanced at it from the outside, she just started to walk in the opposite direction of the cave and continued to walk forward.There was once a time where she thought that she had gone far away from the cave but when she looked back, she could still see the opening of the cave.Naomi continued to walk forward, venturing deeper into the forest. Looking around, she noticed that aside from the lush greenery and herself, the only beings that accompanied her were birds chirping as they fly away into the sky or stop by in some trees and there was still
"Ah?"Naomi was dumbfounded by his words. When she realized what was recently said to her, she became agitated."What do you mean by "I am blocking the way"?!

Receiving the three skewered shiny tanghulus, just like what the stall owner did, she received them kindly. She took a look at them with the eyes of a glutton for a while before looking back at the stall owner."Oh, right. Uncle, can I ask you for a question?" Naomi said as she held two of the three skewered tanghulus in her left hand while she held the remaining one in her right hand."Sure, what is it?""It's like this. Isn't it there a night market here in Arkin Kingdom that is held every Friday evening in the plaza? Me and my companions are looking for something and since a lot of merchants from inside and outside the kingdom are going to sell their stuff during the night market, we're planning to go and take a look in the said night market yet we don't know the way towards the plaza. Do you know where it is?" Naomi said their purpose of coming into the marketplace on the evening and asked what she and the siblings were planning to ask."Oh, t
After that night's conversation, there wasn't a lot of occurence in the next few days. Time quietly passed by and soon enough, it was already Friday.A group of three appeared in the stairs of Central Inn. As they stepped down the lively first floor of the said inn, some eyes went their way though majority of them only stared for a while before continuing in what they were doing."Do you know where the night market is?" Naomi asked Lisa who was standing beside her."It should be in the plaza." Lisa answered as she observed the people around them."Then do you know where the plaza is?" As soon as she heard Lisa's answer, Naomi continued to ask.Instead of answering Naomi's question with "yes" or "no", she just looked at her and flashed a sweet smile which confused Naomi. She saw Lisa walk towards the reception which confused her even more.When Lisa opened her mouth to speak, she was speechless."Do you know where the pla
''So... what did you get today?''Back at the inn, the group of three people were staying inside the same room. Lucas, the only guy of the three of them, was sitting by the window while the other two, Naomi and Lisa, were sitting face to face in the only two chairs of the room.Hearing the question, Lisa, who had just gotten back at the inn from the library, waved her hand and miracurously, a book appeared from thin air. Grabbing the book, she placed it in the table in front the both of them.When Naomi saw how a book appeared from thin air when Lisa waved her hand, she was shocked and surprised. She looked at Lisa with curious gaze on which the latter noticed.''The book didn't just appear from thin air, it's more like I summoned it or took it out.'' Lisa explained.Hearing her words, Naomi looked at her with doubt.''Took it out? Aside from waving your hand
"Hey, beauty. What's your name? Do you mind going out with me?"Instead of receiving a response from Austin regarding their topic, the response Naomi had received was different.Naomi was stunned and upon coming into a realizatin about what Austin have said, her face reddened out of embarrasment.It can't be helped. The people, who was of the same status as her, back in her hometown, Florence, wouldn't say things like these and were restrained. As for the common people living in her hometown, she doesn't have any ideas about how they act as she rarely engage with them.Flustered, she threw her hands as if she was trying to shoo the other party away and several spiritual energy rushed out unconsciously. If it was a normal person faced with this kind of action, they wouldn't notice anything from it. Unfortunately, Austin was a cultivator so he noticed the spiritual energy that have rushed out from her
"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
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
"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
"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
