Lea roughly gone through her life but barely survive the news. She gone through parents divorced; she gone through her favorite person died; she gone through bullied; she even gone through came out as bisexual. But this isn’t her going through hardships, this is about life as a journey without a specific goal( not even close to a quest). Life isn’t just survival, it’s literally the everything. Lea never put effort into “everything” in life, just because of a good friend, will she risk her feelings to help her crush date her ex-crush? 
   Author’s note: Every chapter will be posted whenever the author got the nut to entertain her readers. Probably a week. Probably two weeks. Or three. Or four. Idk, it will be there when it is. Thank you for the enthusiasm and enjoyment from y’all.

"who are you?" she asks this charming stranger while looking into his eyes.
"I'll answer your questions later dear but right now you have to find a way out of here" he winks at her.
"lets get going" Takumi yelled while grabbing Iris' hand and running off with her away from the scene.
"we can't just leave him there" she said forcefully pulling her hand away from his  her hand away from his grip.
"Did you see that girl? She isn't normal, I'm not ready to go against her"
"You might not be, but he saved our life and i don't intend on letting him die for that" she said and ran back to the scene.
"Why do i have to meet a crazy girl at this point of my life? Hey wait up!" he called on her to wait up.
He runs back to the scene and is surprised to see the girl's head on the floor.
"Looks like he had it under control" Iris said while smiling at the stranger as though she knew him.
"Okay buddy better come clean or i'm calling the cops, who are you?" Takumi asked angrily
 "If you weren't a reasonable man i would have killed you already, but you do have a point so I'll answer your questions. My name is saint Micheal or you could just call me Micheal, I was sent here to save the young miss from dangers like this"
"You know who i am?" Iris asked
"I know who were made to be" 
"Made?" Takumi asked confused by his statement
"You heard me correctly, she isn't a normal like you, we both aren't as normal as you"
"What are you guys?" Takumi asked moving back in fear
"I am an A.I one very similar to humans, i can eat, feel, sleep and even make decision on my own, but she is different, she is special, she is a human and also A.I the most marvelous creation made by Dr. Kimono before he was arrested."
"What!" she exclaimed and collapsed.
"Iris!" Takumi yelled and caught her as she fell.

Jing Jiu grabbed the alarm through the space and squeezed it into pieces.
The ear-splitting sound of the alarm stopped abruptly.
He thought that this magic treasure must have been triggered when it sensed the sound of a stranger.
It seemed that the people in this world lived a rather anxious life.
Yet, judging from the large number of magic treasures in this regular residential house, the ware sects must have a high status here.
While thinking of all this, Jing Jiu walked into the bathroom, tossed the powder in his hand into the toilet, and then pressed the button to wash it down.
He had seen the girl use this object in the early morning and knew it was an automatic toilet. It was a curious item, but he didn't feel too sentimental about it because he was not to use it anyway.
Jing Jiu walked back into the living room. He adjusted the cushions on the chair and lay down more comfortably and began to watch TV while learning to speak the local language.
His pronunciation was a bit awkward in the beginning, but he grew more and more proficient as he practiced. In the meantime, he compared the pronunciation to the meaning he understood in his awareness and could pronounce the words more accurately.
The words were displayed on the TV screen. Though the words were similar to those in Chaotian, there was no way he could understand them.
Jing Jiu got up from the chair reluctantly and walked into another room.
The size of the room was small, three sides of which were lined with bookshelves extending all the way to the ceiling. The bookshelves were full of paperback books, making the room feel much smaller.
Standing in the middle of the room, one would have a strong sense of being squashed.
It was unclear why there were so many paperback books here.
Jing Jiu sat down on the floor with his legs crossed. He curled his finger slightly to make all the books on the shelves drift up in the air and move without the aid of the wind.
He and the Young Zen Master had used this method to read books at the Fruit Formation Temple; it was the most efficient way to read books.
Soon, he found he had made a mistake. It was because he couldn't understand the words in the books; it was useless no matter how fast he read them.
He chose two books that seemed to be simple to read. They might be the introductory books.
Later, he started reading other books.
The door and windows of the room were tightly closed to block the scenery on the street and the narrow corner of the universe.
The drifting books were automatically flipping pages in midair without the aid of the wind.
He was reading them thoroughly with his eyes closed and without the help of light.
Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of paper tearing.
These books were all very old; some of them looked yellowish and brittle, and were torn apart as they were turned over swiftly by the formless wind.
…
…
The twilight was a luxurious occasion for the street below.
The exchange between day and night were always so swift that the people were often ill prepared for it, especially when it was affected by the bright street lamps.
The girl with silvery hair walked into the apartment as the door was pushed open. She tossed the backpack onto the table casually while throwing herself into the long chair.
She had lain in the chair for a long time. As Jing Jiu thought she had fallen asleep, she got up and poured a cup of water for herself before she took the medicine and ate the supper. Then, she walked into that room and looked out at the small sky above the street after pulling the curtain aside, her eyes full of expectation.
After a long while, she pulled back her gaze and turned to leave when she suddenly saw a piece of paper underneath the bookshelf. She squatted down and picked it up, the expression on her face turning grave.
She ran her trembling fingers across the bookshelf. In the end, she found a book and opened it. A corner of one page in the book was torn off as expected.
It was tiring to study at the institute; it was also helpless and exhausting to live a lonely life. Seeing her most precious item damaged when she came back home, the girl with silvery hair could no longer stand it anymore. She started crying while holding her bent legs with both of her hands.
"Dad…Mom…Little Yellow One…I miss you guys so much. I'm a useless person…Why is this world so unfair?"
Standing behind her, Jing Jiu didn't let his shadow cast on her while listening to her relating her own sad story in a crying tone.
Her mother had died due to a problem with the gene modification when the girl with silvery hair was little. Her father was a professor at the New Era Institute who had been saving money for her future gene modification. After listening to the advice of someone who worked for an important figure, her father invested all of his savings in a mutual fund, even with some borrowed money. Unexpectedly, the commercial fleet guaranteed by the fund had encountered a horrible fight between a human swordsman and the Mother's Nest on their way back from their trading trip. More than thirty commercial ships and the goods turned into green smoke in the crossfire.
The fund broker had gone belly-up as a result. Her father owed the bank a large amount of debt and had no choice but to declare bankruptcy. They had moved to the street of lower class from the institute residence. Because of the insolvency, her father couldn't afford to pay for his beloved daughter's expensive gene modification of the third level. All he could do was watch her being gradually debilitated by the illness just like what had happened to her mother…The seemingly strong man was often very weak at that time; he opted to commit suicide. Perhaps, the professor thought that his daughter didn't need to take the responsibility for the debt after his death and that his daughter would live a relatively easier life. But he hadn't expected that what he did would have a terrible impact on her.
In addition to his death, the professor had left a roomful of paperback books and a cat for his daughter.
But the big yellow cat was dead also.
The girl with silvery hair kept on crying while holding her bent legs.
Looking at her, Jing Jiu uttered "sorry" in his mind.
…
…
Jing Jiu didn't even feel sorry when the Inherited Heaven Sword was destroyed, to say nothing of a piece of paper. The reason he felt this way toward the girl with silvery hair was because the big yellow cat in the photo reminded him of Ada, whom he would probably never see again.
Jing Jiu lived like a ghost in this apartment. He watched TV along with the girl with silvery hair, saw her work on the computer and listened to her mumbling. After she fell asleep, Jing Jiu used the computer in secret and employed the magic to lower the temperature of the computer before she woke up. He lay in the chair to watch TV after she went to school, and he would go to that room to read books when he felt extremely bored, but he was more careful while turning pages.
It only took a few days for Jing Jiu to learn the name of this girl with silvery hair, which was Zong Lizi, not to mention her life from the day of her birth up to now and a great deal of knowledge regarding this world.
This was a human world.
It was true that they were humans similar to those in Chaotian.
Many aspects of the two worlds were similar, be it their bodily structure, their way of thinking, the method of communication, affection and language.
They should be considered the same if viewed at the scale of prolonged time in an endless universe.
Jing Jiu came up with this conclusion based on what he had learned on TV and on the computer and in the books, as well as his observation of the girl with silvery hair.
This human world occupied a patch of the universe, one of hundreds of permanent star systems. The government could make their own decisions regarding how the society should operate, but it was ruled by a unified and symbolic ruler, and it had to follow the general leadership of the federation in military and science.
This unity was called the "Human Federation of the Milky Way"; and he was currently on a planet called the "Stargate". The inside of this planet had been emptied many years ago, and it was an important base for the Federation.
There were more than ten human governments like the Stargate in the Human Federation of the Milky Way, with a female priest for each government. The main responsibility of the female priest was to inherit knowledge from ancient times.
It was rumored that the ancient knowledge stemmed from a distant ancient civilization a great many years ago. It was said that the distant ancient civilization was very advanced, which had created many magnificent structures in the universe. Unfortunately, it had encountered the most formidable foe in the universe, the Sea of Dark Matter, at the end of its era.
The distant ancient civilization and the Sea of Dark Matter had both vanished in a brutal war. The universe returned to its original tranquility.
The new flowers will grow out of the dust; as time passed, the humans and the foes had grown out of the emptiness and were again engaged in a war of "karma". It looked like the victor would be the one that had revived to the height of their former civilization sooner than the other.
During the ongoing war, the Federation of the Milky Way had always been on the defensive and was the weak one. Even though the gene modification had improved tremendously and the Cultivation of martial arts became popular, they were still not a match for the evil dark force. As they were on the verge of being defeated and swallowed a hundred years ago, a few swordsmen as powerful as gods and some exceedingly effective spiritual leaders had suddenly appeared one after the other on the side of the Federation and led the Federation until now.
…
…
Jing Jiu took a liking to terms "universe", permanent stars", and "planets"; he was also accustomed to the term "emperor". However, he was unfamiliar with the terms of government, genes and civilization. As for the term Sea of Dark Matter…it was given a bit too casually; what was the difference between this term and the Milky Way he had read in the books from those bookshelves?
The books he read and the TV news he watched had a vague description about the Sea of Dark Matter; it was evident that they tried to cover up something. He didn't believe that the monsters resembling the black dandelion without a stem were the only beings in the Sea of Dark Matter. He felt the monsters were rather familiar; the familiarity meant it was not so simple.
The fact that a few godly swordsmen and brilliant leaders had suddenly appeared one hundred years ago made him feel familiar with it.
It had nothing to do with his narcissistic tendency, but time.
If one day in the starry sky was equivalent to one year in Chaotian, one hundred years here was about thirty thousand years in Chaotian.
The founding grandmasters of Green Mountain had started ascending around that time.
The founding grandmasters of the Center Sect had done so at that time as well.
Where did those ascendants of Chaotian go afterwards?
Was there a connection between these two things?
It was not Jing Jiu's way to look up at the starry night and think about the fate of the humans even when he was in a sewage tunnel. His priority was always to solve his own problems.
The important issue for him at the moment was understanding the essence of this world.
Why did the fireball called the "permanent star" release the purest fairy energy?
Jing Jiu thought that he needed to study the relevant knowledge, including the knowledge of astronomy and physics, seriously and systematically, just like what he had done in that small village.
To log into the network of the institute on the computer of the girl with silvery hair required the validation of her pupils. There were many restrictions on how the populace could use the internet. The books in the room were not in-depth enough. The programs on TV talked nonsense most of time with fewer useful information. What should he do then? It was inconvenient to live like a ghost in this apartment because it was always cumbersome to use the computer and read books this way. It occurred to him that he must do something to change the situation.
…
…
One night, Zong Lizi came back to the street in the underground from the Institute of New Era and walked into her apartment with tired steps.
She untied the string binding her hair. The silvery hair scattered down like the beautiful starlight.
As she was about to throw herself onto the soft chair like a backpack after she had poured a cup of water and took the medicine, she suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment, as though something that had accompanied her for a long time went away.
It was tantamount to her father leaving the world undetected and Little Yellow One sneaking out before his death.
She shot another look at the apartment and made sure that nothing had changed. She couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that nobody had ever accompanied her and it was pointless to dwell in the matter.
It was then that the doorbell suddenly rang out.
She turned on the screen of the intercom, feeling surprised. "Who is it? what's the matter?" she asked.
A youth wearing tracksuits with a hoodie appeared on the light screen of the intercom.
"I've seen the post about sharing rent on the network of the institute."
The youth pulled the hoodie quite low to block his face, but it didn't obstruct his voice.
…
…


I am the sword.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one dares take ten steps.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one can take ten steps.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, ten steps? Not possible!
I am the sword, the sword is me,
On the path towards heaven, each shall wield their own.

Support and Thanks!
Hi everyone! Whether you are a reader old who struggled through the original drip feed of chapters… or a new reader who has joined with the influx of re-uploads, welcome to the chaos :P 
I really must say that for me, personally, this has been such an amazing journey of highs and lows. I am not disillusioned with my own writing. I know I am not the worst – but I am also well aware that I am not the best by any means, even in the community of freelance online writers. So the fact that so many of you take the time to read A Hand-Woven Universe not only blows my mind but also makes me so happy. Although it might be a long endeavor – I will continue the story of Noone and Tapestry all the way to the end.
Promise.

Amazon Paperback/Kindle
After a multi-month haitus… I am proud to announce that Silence In Tapestry, Book 1 of A Hand-Woven Universe, is for sale on Amazon! 
If you enjoyed book 1 enough to consider purchasing a paperback copy, then I would like to give you my thanks now just for  the simple fact that you took the time to read all the way to that point. However, the paperback copy is not perfect. I had to do all of the writing, editing, and formatting myself. This means its quality will not be the MOST professional it could have been. For this I apologize, but for what it is – I am happy with it. Flaws and all.
If you would just like to support me but don't want to spend the money to purchase a paperback, please consider buying a kindle copy! It's far cheaper and I will receive about the same profit from either due to Amazon's royalty agreement.
Thank you all for being so patient with me getting this whole thing together. I know a lot of worries were going around about whether or not I would be back. Well, I am!

Patreo n: New and Old.
For those of you who have been supporting me on Patreo n (even through the hiatus…) Thank you. I honestly can not express my feelings on this properly through words alone – which really calls into question my efficacy as a writer. Nevertheless, I hope you all are prepared for book 2!
For anyone who might want to support me in a way other than Amazon – consider my patreo n! I will be changed the tiers a little bit to make it more enticing. Here's what you can expect:
•Even more advanced chapters per tier
• The ability to create major/minor characters for the story
• Patreo n-Specific discord tag!
• patreo n-Specific Q&A's
• Special mention in any books produced
----------
I hope you all are preparing yourselves for book 2! I have quite a bit of outlining just to keep it flowing well. But I am equally excited to bring the story in my mind, to the page.

Okay so the Illustration is complete I updated the book cover on royalroad.com scribblehub.com and webnovel.com, I've also updated the synopsis to what is going to be on A m a z o n.
The illustrator delivered the illustration to me around 3 or 4 hours ago., so it was completed fairly recently.
It took me mmmm 7 or 8 tries maybe 9 before I was finally able to get kdp amazon to accept the illustration. I tried 6 or 7 times of those to get it to accept the pdf. In the end, it did not accept the pdf book cover, but I was able to make a workaround and submit the image through the cover creator by uploading the image and delete all text projected over the illustration by the cover creator and wallah only took a 2nd try to get it done after that.
This was for the paperback version mind you, no problems with the ebook on that front. Keep in mind I was just about to go too sleep when the illustrator contacted me and I only recently reverse my schedule back to somewhat normal. It was then that this whole fiasco started.
Now then, the ebook has passed review and is currently publishing which means their setting it up on their sites and apps for amazon, kindle and their various national variations.
The paperback is in review. Both the ebook and paperback should be released around or within 72 hours from what I've been told. I will also get an email when the ebook is published and maybe when the paperback is published not sure.
Next, I noticed when I was reposting the amazon version of the synopsis that the paperback's synopsis was lacking any spaces between sentences which is indeed an issue.
Now I would go ahead and edit the ebook and paperback just so they're more professional, but I tried that, it won't let me edit it right now and the button to do so are greyed out.
That said I do want to edit the synopsis of the two books so they're not a mess but I will have to wait, if they even allow editing of them after they've been published anymore. I know they used too.
I may or may not release another update when they've been published and or edited but for now you seem to have all the information and anymore may just be overbearing.
Also the paperback minimum price was 42 something odd dollars with no royalties, so I raised the price of the paperback to 50 dollars USD so that I can even make a profit off royalties, even with that each purchase of the paperback only gives me 4.25 dollars. The cost of printing is 25 something odd dollars per book, I guess amazon gets the rest and or put it into shipping costs???? Crazy right?
Anyway that's it have a wonderful night or day and I hope you buy a copy.

P.S. The ebook is 2.99 USD.

I have this story on Webnovel.com Scribblehub.com and Royalroad.com I have deleted my series on Tapas.io I am on P A T R E O N, besides these websites I have not published this story anywhere else.

Thus I am not a god.

I used to think It was only me in the void, but I am not alone.


There were few customers in the pet shop in the morning. After cleaning up the shop, playing hide-and-seek with Galaxy, and training Zhan Tian on the green field, Zhang Zian had been reading posts on the forum. Time always passed very fast when he surfed the internet. Nearly an hour had passed after he had browsed the posts on the first and second page of the forum.
The Spring Festival was approaching. Now was the busiest period before the Spring Festival. Students were taking the final exams. The office workers were fighting for the annual bonus, secretly planning whether they should hop to another company after the Lunar New Year. There were few pedestrians on the road. Some elderly people were happily pushing carts to buy groceries for the Lunar New Year because when the Spring Festival arrived, many businesses would close their shops. After running their shops diligently for a year, the business owners also needed to take a rest during the festival. 
Zhang Zian did not need to visit friends and relatives during the Chinese New Year, so he would not need to go shopping for groceries. During the Spring Festival, his pet shop would operate as usual, and he would strive to sell more pets to children since they would receive lucky money from their parents and relatives. He looked at the time and was thinking of going upstairs to remind Pi to rest for a while. At that moment, a car stopped in front of the entrance to his shop.
This was a brand-new BMW sedan with a bright, shiny body. It seemed that it was a vehicle that was registered not long ago. Zhang Zian had never seen this car before. 
Through the window glass, he saw two stylishly dressed girls sitting in the car. Normally, Zhang Zian would look at these attractive girls for a little bit longer. But since he knew these two girls, he could not do that. Speaking of the devil. He was just talking about them. He whispered to himself. 
The two stylish girls were Zhao Qi and Shi Shi. Liu Sanlang was responsible for driving. In addition to the three of them, there was a medium-sized Labrador sitting in the back seat. It was the one that Liu Sanlang bought from Zhang Zian's pet shop. It's funny that this Labrador was wearing a red sweater, which made it look awkward.
Zhang Zian knew that the three of them worked for the same company, and that Liu Sanlang was courting Shi Shi on a regular basis. Why did they come to the pet shop together during this work day?
Liu Sanlang got out of the car and enthusiastically opened the car door for Shi Shi in the back seat. Shi Shi looked at her cell phone from time to time and did not get out of the car. Zhao Qi, who was sitting on the other side of the back seat, got out of the car with her own pet carrier.

Anyhow, they were Zhang Zian's acquaintances. Zhang Zian put his cell phone back into his pocket and walked out of the pet shop to greet them.
"Hey, Sanlang, is this your new car? Not bad."
Liu Sanlang carefully closed the door to the driver's seat. He smiled proudly and said, "Yes, the car was just delivered to me before New Year's Day. It only has a few hundred kilometers on it."
Zhang Zian approached and looked at the car. He was a complete amateur to the car industry and asked, "How much was this car?"
Liu Sanlang's face twitched momentarily. He quietly extended his three fingers, and said in pain, "It cost me nearly 300,000 Yuan in total. I borrowed some money and applied for a loan..."
Unlike houses, cars were not a rigid demand. Zhang Zian felt it was unworthy to borrow money to buy a car, so he asked, "Why not buy a car cheaper than this?"
"Well..." Liu Sanlang said with bitterness and whispered, "Actually, I did not intend to buy a car. After all, unlike such big cities as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, it was quite convenient to take a taxi or get a ride in Binhai City. Besides, when the air quality is poor, the city only allows vehicles on the streets with even-numbered license plates to alternate with odd-numbered vehicles. But currently, I am pursuing Shi Shi, hoping that she will become my girlfriend. It is more convenient to have a car of my own, so I can take her to many places. At first, I wanted to buy a domestic brand car, which was relatively affordable. Nowadays, the domestically produced cars are not as bad as they were before. But then I wondered if she would look down on me if I bought a domestically produced car. In the end, I firmly made up my mind and bought this imported car..."
Zhang Zian was rather speechless. He thought to himself. You have gone too far beyond your means to impress her. If your girlfriend despises you because you drive a domestically produced car, does she like you or does she like your money?
However, Zhang Zian was not that close to Liu Sanlang. Since Liu Sanlang had already bought the car, Zhang Zian was in no position to judge him. All Zhang Zian could say to Liu Sanlang was that, he should make good use of the car. Even if Liu Sanlang could not develop a romantic relationship with Shi Shi, at least he could impress another girl with this car…


Liu Sanlang whispered as if defending himself, "Shi Shi did not tell me her preference explicitly, but I noticed that she had been reading those online novels such as The Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me…so..."
Well, that's how it happened. Zhang Zian could somewhat understand Liu Sanlang's concern. Love was unreasonable. Liu Sanlang liked Shi Shi, who liked those types of guys that were rich and bossy. What could Liu Sanlang do? Although Liu Sanlang could not become a CEO in the foreseeable future, buying an imported car to please the girl he liked had proven his economic capabilities.
"What Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me?" Shi Shi, although in the car, seemed to have heard the last sentence they were talking about. She looked at her mobile phone and said, "Who would read that old-fashioned book? I was clearly reading the book called You are Better than the Billionaire CEO's!"
Zhang Zian would normally dismiss the topic with a smile. But today, he glanced at the phone of Shi Shi and found that she was also using the app of Qidian to read web novels.  
"You are reading books on Qidian?" he asked curiously.
"Of course! I am a senior VIP on Qidian and I have been a bookworm of the web novels for a decade!" Shi Shi got out of the car very proudly and the Labrador followed her and got out of the car too. 
"Wow!" Zhang Zian looked at her with admiration.
He learned from the Wang Haige Forum that the readers on Qidian were classified hierarchically. Those who read few books and spent little money on the website were ordinary members. As the users read more books and spent more money, they would become the senior members, and then the primary VIPs, and the top ranking title would be the senior VIPs. On the Zhihu Forum, the most pretentious forum in China, there was a discussion thread called "How did I feel when I became a senior VIP at Qidian", and as the comments in that discussion thread described, the status of the senior VIP at Qidian was as fancy as the King of Diamonds at QQ. 
"Humph!" Shi Shi felt so proud that her chin was almost lifted to the sky. 
"She really is a senior VIP at Qidian, but I have to remind you, that she gained that status by reading all kinds of romantic novels involving the overbearing CEOs..." Zhao Qi came to them with the air box in her hand. Her cat, Lan Lan was gazing at Zhang Zian in the air box.


"Qi Qi! You betrayed me again!" Shi Shi was so angry that she blushed, "Are you still my good friend or not?"
"Was I not talking about the fact?" Zhao Qi continued. "Let me figure it out. Suppose that your claim of being a bookworm for a decade is true. You are 25 years old this year, which means that you have been reading those romantic novels involving the overbearing CEO's from the age of 15! I do hope that a bossy CEO would appear from nowhere and make you his girlfriend so that you would not waste your time daydreaming anymore. Of course, it would be the best if that CEO would love you at the beginning and abandon you in the end. Otherwise, I would not be able to remain calm..."
"My…my birthday has not arrived this year. I am currently 24 years old, all right?!" Shi Shi was very unruly in front of Liu Sanlang, but in the face of her bestie Zhao Qi, she would never truly lose her temper. 
"Besides, I only read those romantic novels about the overbearing CEO's occasionally. I read ordinary novels most of the time, and I also read the foreign novels in paperback…" Lacking confidence, Shi Shi justified herself to Zhang Zian. 
"Come on, stop the pretense!" Zhao Qi scorned. "The so-called foreign novels in paperback that you read are Fifty Shades of Grey, aren't they? They are nothing more than the darker versions of those novels about the overbearing CEO's written in English!"
"Hey! Qi Qi, you said too much!" Shi Shi was upset. 
Zhang Zian did not care about the genres that Shi Shi liked. What he cared about was the preference of the readers on Qidian. And as a bookworm for a decade on Qidian, Shi Shi should have some understanding of the preferences of the readers of web novels. So, he tentatively asked, "Shi Shi, as a reader, are you interested in reading a web novel about a pet shop?"
"What? Pet shop?" Shi Shi stared at Zhang Zian incredulously like she was looking at a fool. "Are you crazy? Who will read a web novel about a pet shop? What's to write about a pet shop? Cleaning the feces of pets all day long? If people want to raise cats or dogs, they need to cleanse the feces of their pets. Why would they read about the situations in a pet shop? Am I right, Xiao La?"
Xiao La barked a few times, as if responding to her.
Although what you said makes sense, why am I so unhappy? Zhang Zian said to himself. 

"Because restricted by some objective conditions, some people who want to raise dogs or cats can't raise pets in real life. If I remember correctly, this Labrador is not yours, it was bought by Sanlang." Zhang Zian pointed out this fact.
Yes, he remembered that Liu Sanlang bought this Labrador to attract Shi Shi's attention, and Liu Sanlang really succeeded because Shi Shi quite liked the puppy. But the apartment Shi Shi rented did not allow her to raise pets. 
Due to the limitations of certain conditions and the doubts that they could take care of the pets till death set them apart, a lot of people had chosen to watch cats or dogs on the internet by appreciating the photos and videos of cats and dogs uploaded by others on forums and Weibo every day. Zhang Zian was in favor of the cautious attitude of these people. Watching cats or dogs on the internet was far better than those people who bought pets recklessly and sent away or deserted the pets when they realized that they were unfit to raise pets. Could those people who appreciated pets on the internet turn into pet novel readers? Even if only one of ten thousandths of those people became readers, that would be enough. 
"Well..." Shi Shi stuttered suddenly, but then she said stubbornly, "What you said may be true, but how can you let these people who raise pets on the internet know about this novel?"
Zhang Zian admitted that she was right. This was the most crucial issue.
"Yes, which novel is this? Tell me the title. As a bookworm for a decade, I can identify whether there is a future for this novel." Shi Shi boasted boldly. 
Zhao Qi also asked curiously, "Zhang Zian, are you writing a novel about a pet shop?"
"No, I'm not." Zhang Zian replied. That's not a lie. It was Pi who was writing a novel. 
"Actually, I think you can write a novel. Anyway, you have nothing to do in your pet shop, right?!" said Zhao Qi, "What if it becomes a popular novel?"
Zhang Zian quickly waved his hands to change the topic, "Forget it, I know myself, I don't have what it takes to become a writer… By the way, why are you here?"


1. Download a suspicious game
2. Catch a few magical pets as partners
3. Go through interesting daily routines and lead the pet shop to a whole new level

Carol, Mr Wilde's personal assistant and a proud member of the LGBTQ community, knocked on the door.
"Your guest, Debbie Connor, has arrived. Would you like to receive her in your office or would you like to receive her in the meeting room?"
Wilmer looked up from his computer and glanced at his watch. It was already four in the afternoon? Time flew by way too quickly. The last thing he remembered eating was breakfast. Where had all that time gone?
"No need, please let her in. I'm thinking of heading out to grab a late lunch myself. You can end early for today if there isn't anything else."
Carol smiled and ushered Debbie in. The ex-lawyer was a lady in her thirties with ginger hair. Although she wasn't very tall, she carried herself confidently, making her appear taller in person.
Wilmer remembered the portfolio Debbie submitted. The lady didn't really have much experience dealing with children so it was a tough choice to leave his children in her hands. Luckily, Wilmer decided to interview the lady and put off making any hasty decisions. Seeing Debbie Connor in person made him rethink his initial opinion of her.
"Good day, Mr Wilde. I heard that you haven't had lunch yet. May I recommend a quaint cafe in the area I'm a personal fan of?"
Wilmer checked his watch. According to Carol, his schedule was free for the rest of the day.
"Sure," he smiled and dismissed Carol.
Carol nodded and watched as her boss left with Ms Connor. The secretary wasn't nosy in her boss' private life. Besides, Debbie was a married lady. Surely she wouldn't have to report it to Mrs Wilde... right?
The cafe Debbie suggested wasn't too far from the office. In fact, it was so secluded that Wilmer wouldn't have found it himself. There was hardly anything about it on the maps. 
The cafe was run by an elderly couple who took pride in their home-brewed drinks and pastries. Wilmer ordered for both of them and took some time to enjoy the ambience. The peacefulness was like a spot of Shangri-La in the busy city.
"I think I will be a regular here," he told the ex-lawyer.
Debbie smiled. "It sure is peaceful, isn't it? I used to come here all the time whenever I was working on a stressful case just before I fought it out in the courtroom."
The CEO nodded. He could understand why. "Why are you interested in becoming a governess? Surely you would have other passions even after leaving your career behind."
Debbie wasn't fazed by how direct Wilmer was. Her smile never wavered.
"I will be honest. If it wasn't for Benjamin bragging about the talented girl called Scarlet, I would probably have never signed up for the job. Benjamin might not have told you, but I was a writer myself. I just lost touch with the pen after publishing my fifth paperback because I found more enjoyment in editing and mentoring aspiring writers. I'm not a very creative person even though I love the beauty of a good book. I just find helping the creation of books more magical than actually writing it."
Wilmer blinked. While it was true that he wanted to engage a governess for Scarlet, he wondered if it would be possible to have Debbie groom the two other children.
"Will you have problems handling two other children as a governess? They don't need much attention because their areas of interest are very different and it takes a more self-directed learning approach."
Debbie tilted her head to the side. Two other children? Benjamin didn't mention anything about it and the world knew that the Wilde's only had one daughter. Could they be illegitimate children? Does Orita Wilde know?
The ex-lawyer hesitated for a long time and Wilmer took the hint.
"It's alright, you don't need to give me an answer now. The school term has only started for them, I will contact you again next week. If you have any questions, feel free to let my secretary know. Carol will assist you as much as she can and I do find you to be a rather suitable candidate."
They charged a little more leisurely after that and enjoyed the home-brewed coffee. Wilmer was impressed with Debbie's enthusiasm about writing and thought that Scarlet might be happy if Debbie accepted his proposal. Still, he didn't want to be too pretentious and make decisions on the girl's behalf.
"It might sound sudden, but I think you will get along really well with Scarlet. She is a naturally curious and creative individual. However, she had gone through some terrible things recently. It would be nice if you could take some time out of your busy schedule to visit Scarlet after school and just talk to her to know her better. As a father, I am a failure. I don't know how else I can help my daughter, who is suffering alone."
Debbie raised her brows. From the rumours, the Wilde's were a very loving family and she was slightly surprised to find that it was true. Still, what did Mr Wilde mean by a failure as a father?
"Pardon my impertinence, but I would like to ask what happened. Why would you consider yourself a failure as a father?"
Wilmer sighed heavily and started telling his long tale. Throughout the tale, Debbie remained silent. Her opinion about the Wilde's changed a little when Wilmer disclosed that Scarlet was adopted. She wasn't given the details about Scarlet's circumstances, but she didn't want to pry. Apparently, it was a decision made by the Ice Queen without consulting the CEO beforehand.
"You don't have any objections to what your wife did? We're not talking about a dog or a cat, we are talking about a child..."
Wilmer chuckled. "No. In fact, I am very happy to have Scarlet in our family. She brings colour into our lives and I can see the positive influence she brings to Alex and my wife. It only troubles me that she wouldn't completely open up to us. I might have made a bad move back then, but it was the only way I thought could pull her out from her depression."
Debbie paused. "Depression?"
Wilmer looked around and shook his head. "Let's take this conversation to a different location, shall we?"


At age 10, Scarlet Liu Xiu Wen was tested with a Mensa IQ of 156.

By age 12, she was publishing books with the pen name Permanent Frost. By age 14, she was a successful vocalist-composer in the band called Britannia. By age 16 Scarlet had a successful career as a model and actress going by the stage name of Liu Xiu Wen.

However, there was a secret that the world didn't know. Away from the limelight, Scarlet took on yet another persona online as Pirate S - the eccentric half-genius. Everyone who lurked in the forums knew her name. Known for her unusual takes on life and mostly popularly for her "Human Observation Diary" blog, Scarlet enjoys the nerd life in secret.

Human Observation Diary has always kept to a very standard format but one day, a reader pointed out that the blog has recently been differing from its usual format. Intrigued by the trigger, Scarlet investigates her latest human observation - an online NEET by the name of Jedd77.

From further interactions, Scarlet finds herself helplessly drawn to him. As their friendship develops into something more, Scarlet has to make a choice.

To give up her secrecy and allow Jedd77 to be a part of her life? Or continue the game of cat and mouse even after the face reveal.

Among martial artists, the Dao of Calligraphy was viewed as a mundane Dao, only a Minor Dao; something that scholars in the mundane world practiced.
Many martial artists practiced the Dao of Calligraphy but failed to have any accomplishments. Many times, years would pass, but the gains would be extremely trivial.
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer martial artists who practiced the Dao of Calligraphy.
But in reality, if one had achievements in the Dao of Calligraphy, their strength would be much greater than ordinary martial artists!
Among the ten supreme Divine Kings in the Divine Realm, there was a Heavenly Book Divine King. As a matter of fact, his strength was actually not weaker than the Spirit Bristle Divine King!
It could be seen just how formidable the power of this Dao of Calligraphy was when comprehended to its limits!
Except, wanting to step into the gates of the Dao of Calligraphy was too hard, way too hard! Furthermore, there were exceedingly few powerhouses of this Dao. The inspirations left behind from cultivation methods would naturally be scarce as well.
The perception and lucky chances required to comprehend a supreme true intent based on one's own inspiration was way too harsh.
From Long Tang's description, it looked like Luo Chengfeng most likely already grasped the basics of the Dao of Calligraphy. It was merely unknown to exactly what extent.
Now that each of Ye Yuan's battle was everyone's focal point, his match with Luo Chengfeng became the main attraction this round!
This match determined who could enter the top four. If Ye Yuan continued to upset the status quo, then Luo Chengfeng who initially could have firmly entered the top three would be stopped outside the gates of elite disciples!
In the previous grand competition, Luo Chengfeng emerged out of nowhere, overcoming all challenges along the way, and charging into the top three. He even defeated a half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert!
But sadly, he lost to the last place of the elite disciples and remained among the core disciples.
Now that several months had passed, Luo Chengfeng's strength had made great strides forward again. If not for Ye Yuan this dark horse appearing, Luo Chengfeng was extremely likely to make it into the elite disciples.
Whether or not Ye Yuan's strength could shake the top three was also everyone's focal point.
If Ye Yuan could shake the top three Luo Chengfeng with Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength, then the degree of his monstrousness was too terrifying!
. . . . . .
This was Ye Yuan's first time seeing Luo Chengfeng. He was different from his domineering fame. His real person appeared very learned and refined.
Luo Chengfeng had a silk headdress resembling a ridged roof on his head and azure colored long robes. He looked like a Confucian scholar rushing to take the exams and not a peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.
Thinking about it, this kind of disposition was inseparable from him bitterly training calligraphy around the clock. But if anyone were to underestimate him because of this, they would come to regret it.
Luo Chengfeng slowly drew his judge pen when he saw Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly, saying, "I heard that Senior Apprentice Brother Luo doesn't draw your weapon easily. What's with this?"
Luo Chengfeng said nonchalantly, "I saw Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's battle. You're very strong!"
The meaning of his words was that Ye Yuan's might had already reached the extent where he had no choice but to draw his weapon!
"So that's the case. Then junior will seek guidance from Senior Apprentice Brother Luo's Dao of Calligraphy. Please!"
Luo Chengfeng nodded and did not say anything redundant. He lifted his hand and pointed with his judge pen.
A formless force tore through the air, heading straight for Ye Yuan!
This move had had a powerful aura and force. It was like the formless force wanted to tear apart space!
"Senior Apprentice Brother Luo's Force Penetrating Paperback! It's a killing move right after coming up!"
"With the heaven and earth as the paper, strength breaking 30 thousand catties! This move from Senior Apprentice Brother Luo is much stronger than the previous grand competition!"
"Yeah! Senior Apprentice Brother Luo cultivated the Dao of Calligraphy. I wonder how Ye Yuan will deal with it?"
Ye Yuan looked at this Force Penetrating Paperback and smiled. Only to see him wield his sword, pointing in midair too!
Similarly, a streak of force shot out and collided with Luo Chengfeng's force!
Evidently, Luo Chengfeng's force was a level stronger. It broke apart Ye Yuan's force, attacking Ye Yuan again.
It was just that after being blocked by Ye Yuan's force, the remaining force was of no concern anymore.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stupefied, including the Luo Chengfeng who used the Force Penetrating Paperback.
"This . . . What happened just now? Ye Yuan, he . . . actually know the Dao of Calligraphy too? Was his move earlier Force Penetrating Paperback?"
"Why do I have a sort of misconception that Ye Yuan's understanding towards this move is actually above Senior Apprentice Brother Luo's!"
"That's not a misconception! Ye Yuan's Force Penetrating Paperback is really stronger than Senior Apprentice Brother Luo's! It's just that Senior Apprentice Brother Luo's realm is much higher than his, that's why Ye Yuan move cannot beat Luo Chengfeng's."
". . . Doesn't that mean that Ye Yuan is similarly immune to Senior Apprentice Brother Luo's move? Isn't this fellow too heaven-defying? It's fine if his Sword Dao realm was high, but his comprehension towards Calligraphy Dao is also so perverse!"
That move earlier, Ye Yuan clearly used the sword as a pen to display Force Penetrating Paperback.
Furthermore, in terms of power, it was actually above Luo Chengfeng! It was just that due to his realm being too low, he lost to Luo Chengfeng.
Luo Chengfeng maintained that calm and composed appearance, but the seriousness and confusion in his eyes could not be wiped away.
"This Imperial Law True Book is something I only managed to have some small gains in after bitterly cultivating for 10 years! I heard that you came from the State of Qin, so you should not have had the chance to see this cultivation method. Why is your move stronger than mine?"
Ye Yuan did not get to open his mouth when Luo Chengfeng suddenly muttered to himself. "Wrong! That wasn't Force Penetrating Paperback just now! Although it's extremely alike, it's missing a trace of Calligraphy Dao rhyme! But . . . but why is the power so strong?"
The more he pondered, the more incomprehensible Luo Chengfeng felt.
The comprehension of the Dao of Calligraphy was not built in a day. Luo Chengfeng immersed in this Dao for 10 years before he had some minor gains. That was why his strength in this past two years suddenly soared.
But just how did Ye Yuan execute that move just now?
Could it be that he could execute other people's moves with just a glance? And the power would be greater than them?
Luo Chengfeng's gaze condensed and said, "Take another move from me! Iron Picture Silver Hook!"
Luo Chengfeng's judge pen drew a stroke in front of his chest. A sharp and fierce force was released once more.
If the Force Penetrating Paperback earlier was a heavy atmosphere, then this Iron Picture Silver Hook would be abnormally sharp.
It could attack when advancing and defend when retreating. This Imperial Law True Book was really a powerful cultivation method.
Ye Yuan chuckled calmly and mimicked Luo Chengfeng's actions, using the sword as a pen once again. An Iron Picture Silver Hook was unleashed again!
The same thing happened once more. Luo Chengfeng's attack was weakened after Ye Yuan's move, becoming feeble and powerless, and was easily resolved by Ye Yuan.
Luo Chengfeng's gaze revealed solemnness.
Previously, everyone wanted to see how the Sword Dao freak, Ye Yuan, would react when encountering fellow disciples with other concepts.
But nobody could have imagined that the result would actually be like this!
Whatever move Luo Chengfeng released, Ye Yuan would actually counterattack with the same move!
Such a fighting style was too abnormal.
The audience below the stage looked at each other, their eyes revealing deep astonishment.
They had participated in many grand competitions before but had never encountered such a strange battle.
Regardless of what move you use, the other person would give you a dose of your own medicine. How to fight like this?
The main point was that it was fine if Ye Yuan's paying back in one's own coin only looked like the real deal, but his retaliation just had to be incomparably sharp.

With his clansmen being brutally slaughtered when he was very young, he was forced to enter the ruthless world alone. Betrayed at every step and finding himself against the world at every angle, his heart turned to stone, not allowing anything to affect him ever again. 

Right when he thinks that the world is firmly in his grasp, he learns about the existence of the beings that partook in the Great Demon Massacre of time immemorial.
