With Li Shi Ying strong character, she felt more secure if she could protect herself. 

Fortunately she had learnt karate for 3 years and got a black belt. With this experience maybe she could at least escape when she met a strong cultivator. 

Hhh...it wasn't that bad to learn karate afterall....Li Shi Ying used to hate it though when her father forced her to learn karate.

Her mother... was an ambitious women. All her sister and brothers including herself was forced to learn many things since kindergarden! 

She learn mandarin, english, piano, drawing, singing, swimming, and so on. In her family, Li Shi Ying was ordinary. She was smart..it was indeed true but her sister was smarter than her.

Li Shi Hui, Li Shi Ying sister was perfect. She was soo smart that she always got the first place in school. She was very talented in drawing. She had her father's trust to manage the shop money. Basically she could do anything plus she was diligent unlike Li Shi Ying.

Because of it, Li Shi Ying was often neglected by her parents. Her first brother (same age as her) was a genius even if he was a computer addict. 

Her third brother (same age as her) was a bussiness genius. Even if he wasn't doing well in his study, he was good in term of bussiness.

So what could Li Shi Ying do for her family? Nothing. She was like an extra child in her family. 

Li Shi Ying was actually talented. She could play piano well...she could sing well...she was a good novel writer and a good storyteller...she was also very talented in english but aish...her father didn't think that her talent was useful.

By the way only for a small information. Li Shi Ying live in a small town in Indonesia when she was living in earth, her previous world. So she had to learn other languange beside her nation languange. 

She learn her hometown languange which was sundanese. She also learn mandarin and english. Li Shi Ying talent was more in english while Li Shi Hui, her sister was good both in english or mandarin.

 Until finally her father told her to study english education program in a normal university in her town. That's how Shi Ying ended up in english education department.

Okay. Li Shi Ying snapped out from her  reminiscence. 

"Believe in yourself shi ying! even if you're not that talented you still have a talent!" Li Shi Ying said in her heart to motivate herself.

Li Shi Ying knew that she should use anything she had to her advantage. Her strength including a useless one, she should use it to the fullest.

Li Shi Ying made a draft of the thing she could do and she couldn't do in her mind. For the sake of survival. 

She could write story...she could be a storyteller. She also could play piano but alas...here in this world maybe there wasn't any piano exist. 

Li Shi Ying was listing a possible job for her. After she gather enough force to protect herself, she also need to make money.

Hmm...she could spoke beast languange. Maybe she could swindle a few strong beasts to protect her? Yap Mao Mao was already included in the list of strong beasts to 'swindle'.

Nah she learnt karate. At least she could escape with her life if someday she met a mishap. 

Hm hm...what other skills she had...she couldn't be a maidservant anymore. She couldn't even wash her own clothes how could she wash other people clothes.

Li Shi Ying was indeed a spoiled one. She had a housemaid to do all the house chores back in her world. The housemaid do everything related to a girl skill. 

Soo as the result Li Shi Ying couldn't wash her clothes, couldn't do the ironing, couldn't cook, couldn't wrap a present, couldn't sweep the floor, couldn't clean the floor, couldn't change her bed sheet, couldn't sew etc.

When Li Shi Ying realized these fact, she really want to cry. Ahhhhh how useless she is!!! 

Ok enough for analyzing her strength and weakness. Now she should take advantage of her being a reader of light novel "XXX" which was basically would be her greatest cheat.

With this cheat, Li Shi Ying planned to avoid offending a big power existed in this world. 

One thing Li Shi Ying knew she should be aware of wasn't the power in lower realm. In lower realm as long as she could swindle one scared beast and a few divine beasts then she would have nothing to be scared of.

The frightening power which she should take a carefull note to is first, the upper realm. That realm which was filled with mythological beast was undoubtly dangerous. But since she was a human then maybe she won't go to the upper realm.

Li Shi Ying knew from the novel that the upper realm wouldn't be involved with power struggle in lower realm so she could be relieved.

The second one which was more dangerous for her is...the middle realm.

" Leon I thought you were a proud swordsman, If you want James to come and get him fair and square through a duel, not by sneaky methods. " exploded Trisha, if not for Ava holding her wrist she would have already swung a fist at Leon.
Hearing, Trisha question his integrity as a swordsman Leon clenched his fists hard, seeing this Mira lost it and shouted" I have had enough of you shorty, listen carefully Leon did not use any sneaky methods" she paused and mockingly said," James himself agreed to switch to our team. If you have any problems, speak with James. "
" what! No! you are clearly lying. " Trisha did not believe Mira for a second, James was her best friend; he would never do anything without telling her.
Mira Sneered and said " James is right there ask him yourself. "
Seeing the sneer on Mira's face, Trisha said " James tell me she is lying ". clearly Trisha's trust in James was very high and she thought that Mira was provoking her.
" She is right Trisha, I willingly switched teams. " answered James.
Hearing James agree with Mira, a bomb exploded in Trisha's mind. she looked at James with an unbelievable and dumbfounded look. James could not tell what was going on in her mind he just hoped that he did not break her. Ava seemed to be unaffected showing that she already knew it.
" Shorty get your facts straight before you point fingers at others " said Mira.
" That's enough Mira, do not cause more trouble. " interjected Leon. hearing Leon, Mira pouted but chose to keep quiet. then Leon continued, " James I thought we had a deal, what happened "
Before answering Leon, James glanced at Ava who was supporting devastated Trisha and lazily said " temporary glitch everything is fine and thanks for paying the medical bill by the way. "
" I will take your word for it, I hope there will be no further glitch's " said Leon.
" Don't worry, what about your end, did you find what I want. " asked James.
" We did but situations changed, it's worth more than what we discussed before, we will have to reconsider the agreement before. " said Leon.
" what are you guys talking about " interjected a weak voice. it was Trisha, she still did not believe that James willingly betrayed her.
Mira wanted to mock Trisha again but stopped seeing Leon's stern face. Before answering Trisha Leon turned to James, seeing James nod Leon said " Trisha even though my family is rich and powerful, even it can't mess with City school rules and directly transfer James to my Team. Recently, I heard that your father is looking for a '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' scenario Coordinates. then I immediately contacted James, to do a transaction of sorts. I get '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' scenario Coordinates for him and he would transfer to my team for the graduation exam. "
" Haha Ha ha ... I knew it, I knew James will never betray me. James I never once doubted you, I knew Mira was messing with me. " Trisha, who looked like a broken puppet who lost its string suddenly burst with extraordinary brilliance and enthusiasm. " wait, if my father wants '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' scenario Coordinates Leon you should go to my father for transaction, why did you find James is it not sneaky "
Mira was annoyed and mockingly said " Idiot that's not sneaky, that is just smart business "
" Whatever, I knew from the start it was you trying to mess with me Mira, James will never betray me. " said Trisha, like a happy puppy who had found the bone it buried. and suddenly asked " why do you and my father want the '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' Scenario Coordinate and why did you not tell me about this, James?. "
" we want to use Wood Release Bloodline to recover your body to normal, there are many other worlds which can help recover your body better than '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' world like philosopher's stone from Alchemist Nation, etc. but they all have very complex scenario and main task line compared to '5 Elemental Ninja Nation'. as for why we did not tell you. it's because you are to stubborn and definitely would not agree to this. " said James looking at yet to explode Trisha
" Like hell I would agree to this, Exchanging my comrade for my well being is not how I do things. you and the old man are really becoming courageous day by day to plan such things behind my back. " exploded Trisha. even Ava looked at James fiercely as if questioning is this all true.
" Cough.. Ahem..m " Leon clear his throat to get James attention but
" you!, if you have a disease, get yourself checked, do not interrupt while I am talking. " said Trisha, hearing this Leon embarrassedly look at James for help.
" Trisha let's talk about it later. okay " said James eyeing Trisha.
" youuu.. " Trisha pouted but chose to keep quiet.
" you were saying Mr Leon .." James signaled Leon to speak.
" Like I said before we will have to renegotiate the terms of our verbal contract. " said Leon.
" what are your demands " asked James
" nothing much, Mr James has to participate in 10 more scenarios with my team Including the the Graduation exam " said Leon
" wha..att! why don't just ask for his life! " exclaimed Trisha.
Hearing Trisha exclaim Leon said"I hope Mr James understands finding a specific scenario coordinate is not easy for even my family."
" Is that it " asked James, Leon felt something was wrong this is not the James he knows, the James he knows could never be this calm, its like he is talking to a totally different person.
" yes, this is it " replied Leon with a doubtful expression.
"Then, I am sorry to say this Mr Leon but the cooperation between us will end here. " said James
"what!" this time it was Leon, Mira and Luca who exclaimed. Even Ava, who was watching all this from the side with her fists clenched and swollen red eyes as if about to burst into tears anytime, looked at James with a questioning face, but James chose to ignore her again.
" Are you serious..." gasped Mira.
" Mr James please do not Joke, for this coordinates my family had to pay a huge price. " Leon was very pissed, he wanted to rip James Head off, his family especially his mother paid a lot to get this coordinate and now he doesn't want it.
When entering Terror Multiverse there are two options to enter a scenario,
1. enter randomly.
2. enter using predetermined Scenario coordinates.
Entering Randomly is the normal way, it is very dangerous but if you survive it, you will get high rewards, many do not opt for it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Some times when a returner survives a scenario, world terror provides them with the Scenarios coordinates as a reward. Entering using predetermined Scenario coordinates is relatively safe but rewards are very little, because these coordinates are like saved points in a game. so, when you use a predetermined coordinate then you will continue with the progress at which the predecessor left. meaning when you enter through these coordinates it will not be a new scenario with infinite possibilities, you will be continuing the same scenario with all the damage caused by the predecessor to the main story line. it's relatively safer because you get to prepare beforehand.
Leon Barnard's greatest goal as a swordsman is to learn from grand sword masters of GreatSword University after graduating from high school, Being a top tier University Great Sword has its own standards and that is, students applying to their college should complete the graduation exam without using Scenario Coordinates. This is why Leon values James that much.
" you are right Leon, it would be rude of me to reject without providing a counter offer or a reason " James paused, looked at Leon and said " before that you should know my passive skill has upgraded, now not only I am able to learn any language through physical contact but also teach any language through physical contact, though this ability is limited only to one use in every 24 hrs"
" what!! ", except Trisha, all 4 exclaimed in surprise.
" haha that's my best friend for you " Trisha was genuinely happy for James and laughed heartily.
" So, Mr Leon, my final offer is I will complete the graduation exam as part of your team in addition to that I will give you 5 Language Learning quota for free. What do you think? " asked James.
" has your ability really upgraded as you say Mr James " questioned Leon. Mira, Ava and Luca also looked at James for conformation. they still did not believe that such an ability could exist.
" I haven't registered my ability to upgrade in school yet but a demonstration is not a problem. " said James as he reached for Trisha right hand and Trisha happily came forward.
Holding Trisha's hand James said " We all know Trisha has not been able to learn to speak or write or read a single Chinese character after years of coaching but now .." James Paused and closed his eyes and focused on passing all his mandarin knowledge to Trisha's mind, feeling new information in her brain Trisha closed her eyes and began to concentrate and after 2 mins both opened their eyes.
" Dumb asses I can speak Mandarin now, oh! ho! ho! ho! " Trisha started to shout in Mandarin
" James, your ability is something else, even the Idiot shorty can learn Mandarin in 2 mins. " said Mari.
" you big titty fox who are you calling Idiot Shorty, do you wanna taste my fist " retorted Trisha.
" you shor.. " Mira was about to rebut but was interrupted by Leon " enough " hearing Leon, Mira gritted her teeth and pouted. Trisha smiled in victory.
" Mr James, your ability is really an eye opener, but it's regrettable that you can only use this once in 24 hrs " sighed Leon and continued " your offer is acceptable to me, I will send the coordinates with my lawyer to Mr O'Hara. "
" Happy cooperation. " said James similarly Leon replied " Happy cooperation "
Since they got what they wanted  the trio left soon, Leaving only Trisha, James and Ava in the ICU.
Outside the Hospital, Mira grumbled " Captain, how can you accept such a lousy deal ? "
" what do you know, we got the biggest slice. James has been more than generous. Even though the scenario coordinates were expensive I can earn the same just by selling one Language Learning quota , three days before graduation exam do you know how much each quota will be worth. it's really regrettable that his ability can be used only once every 24 hrs'' said Leon.
James also knew the value of these Language Learning quota three days before graduation exam, he decided to give 5 of them to Leon for the purpose of marketing and gain a customer base through Leon.
As for the limitation James lied to everyone, there is no such limitation he can use the ability as long as he has enough mental strength and can also do many other things with his new upgraded ability. he add this limitation for his own self protection, if the world knew he could teach without any limitation then he will become a cow in some dark room waiting to be milked for rest of his life.
Although 5 free Language Learning quota were more than enough to pay for the Scenario Coordinates on that James still offered to complete a random scenario, because James thought since he is reborn might as well live it to fullest and for that there is no better stage than a top tier university.
" James you really are a worthy member of my team " sighed Trisha and suddenly said " by any chances did your passive ability upgrade by attempting Suicide "
" No! "shouted both James and Ava. they were worried that this idiot self proclaimed Captain of theirs will really attempt suicide if they said yes.
" it was just a thought " said Trisha dejectedly, seeing her friends give such a huge reaction.
" You don't use your brain, you not only will be dangerous to yourself but those surrounding you " said James sarcastically.
" you! " Trisha glared at James. if it wasn't the hospital she would have already pounced on James to teach him a lesson.
Ava who was standing at the side quietly, moved close to James and said " I am sorry I shouldn't have doubted you " then suddenly started crying.
" do not cry Ava, even I almost doubted him " Trisha tried to console Ava and said " blame him for being a good actor. "
WTF!First you kill the predecessor and blame him for being too good of an actor. What kind of bullshit logic is this.
According to the Information that James received earlier, Ava killed the predecessor thinking that he was betraying their team and made it look like suicide with her Passive ability.

Ace picked up the phone, it was his grandmother calling, surprising, not because it was on a Sunday morning, but because it was her calling him, not the other way around.
"Hello Samantha, good morning"
"Good morning to you too, how are things going around there?",  'Ah, she wants to know how the meetings went', Ace thought, thinking of the best way to respond
"Well, for the most part, I made a deal with Lucrum, and as you know, they asked for a meeting. However, as you are probably aware, things with Epsilon did not go as well, she thought I was just a vulnerable kid and tried to blackmail me."
"How did it go?", there was myrrh in her voice, she obviously knew how it went, but she wanted him to tell her, to judge him on what emotions he would display during his response.
"Well, I destroyed her life, and Epsilon knows it, they will now have to try harder, and of course, I will drive an even harder bargain, they will not be happy."
"Good. I am proud of you.", and she hung up
Ace let out a sigh of relief, he knew he had passed her test, he would not even be surprised if she was the one that leaked the info, just as a way to see whether he would comply to her demands, and buckle under pressure.
What Ace did not know, however, was that on the other side of the line, Samantha and Veronica were smiling, happy with how fast and well he had grown.
Ace had a pretty busy day ahead of him, he would have to sort through all his notifications, but luckily, he had a plan to deal with it. There was a reason other than hacking as to why he had wanted to learn how to write programs and code in general. He had another project, this one of great importance, that he had wanted to begin working on since forever. He was going to build his own A.I.
He did not want a stupid one, though, he was going to build a self-learning A.I. A monster that only he would be able to control. He would feed it all the information he could find, on anything, and then have it create a schedule for his life, one that would help him optimise his time to the maximum, without becoming boring or repetitive.
He had built it himself, truthfully, the premise of it was simple, the problem was that it required expensive technology for it to truly shine, it would have to be hooked to a high-speed connection that would allow it to download vast quantities of data in a short time. He had, of course, asked for help from a few of his grandmother's employees. He had promised them that he would share the source code with them. Of course, only before asking his grandmother. 
She was fine with it, they would remain loyal to her no matter what, and having one for the whole group would increase their capabilities by a large margin. Of course, she also knew they would not share the source code themselves since it would create security threats if they did so.
And it was in this way that Ace built Alfred. Ace had not actually chosen the name, the A.I. had, it had for some reason developed an admiration for the resourceful butler, and it seemed that it inspired to be the same. He had fed it all types of information, he had begun with defence protocols it could put in place to protect itself, Ace had put some of his own, but the A.I. would be able to build its own, and update them as it was needed. He had then made it learn all about video games, streaming and social media. It had, for some reason, also learnt about pop-culture, and in one night, had learnt all the internet culture had to offer.
The A.I. that was now hooked all over the house, connected by speakers that lined all over the room to the supercomputer Ace had built in a room adjacent to his. He asked it to sort through all messages on his accounts, and once it had done so, give the correct and appropriate responses. It knew that if anything interesting came up, it - well he, would have to inform Ace.
In this way, his work for the day was sorted, and he could go relax and do his own thing. He caught up on a few novels, his enhanced brain could now read at extreme speeds, and looked through some advanced etiquette guides Samantha had sent him. He memorised all the information, as he always did, and sent a message to his grandmother that he had finished. She seemed to find it important that he learnt all about various topics, so she sent him guides, books and videos on all sorts of things. Ace, wanting to oblige, ensured he committed them to memory. 
It was in this way that he had learnt all sorts of interesting things, he had no idea whether they would ever be of any use to his grandmother, they probably would. To his surprise, his grandmother answered fast, however, it was only a one-word reply: [Languages]. Ace laughed, his grandmother had realised that his brain seemed to have no limit, so she decided to challenge Ace as much as she could. There was a link to a file in another message. As Ace clicked on it, he groaned, his free time would be cut in half. His grandmother wanted him to dominate all the languages she considered 'important', meaning, the ones that would open the most doors for him. This included German, Spanish, French, Arabic, Mandarin, Korean and Japanese. She told him that if needed, she would send a tutor to teach him, to which he replied: [No.]. If anyone else found out about his learning speed, there would be a problem.
In true Goldsign fashion, she wanted him to learn them all. Ace was of course already on it, he had always thought it would be wonderful to travel to various places and enjoy them to their fullest, so in his downtime (downtime = lesson time), he had begun learning various languages. He could speak, French, Italian and Spanish, and was finishing up with German. Finishing up meant that he now had the level of a Native, and all he had to do was learn the slang that was more commonly used. However, he would have no problem conducting a deal. 
As with all languages, he had minimized the accent by listening to genuine natives speak the language and simply working to learn how to mimic their accent. This allowed him to have a seamless accent, which would not separate him from any native. After he finished up with German, he would move on to Mandarin, then to Japanese and Korean. He would finish with Arabic. Once he did that, he wanted to keep learning languages, but whatever else caught his fancy would take precedence.
This way, he could maximise his ability to learn, while also motivating himself with something that would be truly fun. Especially considering his trip to Vienna, his German would be useful there, and meeting people from around the world would mean he could 'practise' speaking the languages he had learnt.


*************************

After getting dressed, Ace got in the car that took him to Sophie's house, she had said to meet him at 10, which had left him a lot of time to do his own thing, considering he had woken up at 5 in the morning, and she lived only 10 minutes away. When he got there, it was 9:55, and he was led through the main house to a 'small' one in the garden, it was an expanse where it seemed that the family met their guests, it was a massive open space, with decor tastefully placed around the room. It did not give out a sense of opulence, but you knew the people that owned it were rich nevertheless. How rich, depended on how much you looked, one could spot the luxurious billiards table or the massive 8k televisions displayed around the room. Ace, however, noticed the book stand, It was not as big or noticeable as the other pieces, but was sure as hell worth a lot more. Every book there, seemed to be expensive, Ace assumed that none of them had actually been read, but the rare collection caught his eye nevertheless.
"Like them?", Sophie came up from behind him, giving him a hug which he turned around and reciprocated. She was dressed in a yellow flowery dress that suited her quite well.
"Yeah. These are amazing, some of these are worth more than what people make in a lifetime.", Ace heard the tinge of admiration in his own voice, but did not mind it. If anything, it would only give Sophie the false impression that she could use these books as a bargaining chip. She could of course, but if Ace wanted, he could get his Grandmother to gift him an even greater collection than this. Money was not a problem, and as of right now, connections were not either.
"Hmmm, well, the others are not here yet, but I can give you a tour if you want", 'fashionably' late, of course, Ace detested such a construct, but he understood that it was merely a way for someone to feel wanted.
"Sure let's go."

The story of a boy overcome with pain, that suddenly isn't.

                                      **********

The story is about a boy, Ace, who is suddenly healed from his pain. He decides to make the best out of his god (?) given gift.

You can expect politics, show business, videogames, sports, and much more.

I hope you enjoy the novel, Happy Reading!

"Mater, you've been on TV over and over again recently. I bet you'll get famous!"
"Nonsense! Master is already famous!" Wang Qian and Li Kun said, full of envy.　　
In the early morning, the local news was on the television. The background was the residential area where Carpenter Wang lived. Zhang Zian was interviewed seriously in front of the camera as an expert. He described the toxicity of Palytoxin, asking all aquarium owners to be very cautious when buying marine creatures. The best practice was to buy them from official stores in order to prevent similar incidents.　　
Next, Sheng Ke was interviewed.　　
The news took a long time to recap the incident, then showed a close-up picture of Palythoa corals. They warned all aquarium owners in the city that if anyone found similar corals at home, they should call the police immediately and not handle them on their own.　　
Wang Qian and Li Kun were right: Zhang Zian had been on the local news a lot lately, sometimes even in the provincial news. He was almost a local celebrity.　　
"Don't just watch the stories!" Zhang Zian stared at them. "The live rocks we bought from the aquarium market may have these corals attached to them, too. Be careful, the two of you. If a similar incident happens to us, we'll have to close the shop for good!"　
He was not exaggerating, nor was he threatening them. In fact, the aquarium that Carpenter Wang often visited was suspended indefinitely. Nobody knew if they could ever reopen. After such an unexpected event, that aquarium owner might have to head to his hometown and get married there. 　　
They heard that Carpenter Wang's family was out of danger and gradually recovering. Carpenter Wang's condition was the most serious. His hands had been inside the water, so his arms were covered in rashes. He still needed to stay in hospital for observation.
As soon as Welder Zhao got better, he could not wait to be checked out of the hospital. The doctors wanted him to stay for a few more days for observation, but he insisted on being released, claiming that he was too unlucky. He didn't want to spend so much money on being hospitalized because of a few fish. It was definitely not worth it…　　
Electrician Wu thought that Welder Zhao deserved what happened to him, so he didn't bother to visit him. Moreover, he asked other retired employees not to visit him. Even if they did visit, they should not bring gifts. He would only learn after paying a price…　　
As the rumors were busted in time by solid proof, the incident didn't cause any aftermath on the internet. It died out soon. Only the retired people in that residential area had something new to talk about at tea time.　　
Wang Qian and Li Kun made faces, but didn't dare to talk back.　　
Jiang Feifei was drawn to the story. She felt that ever since she had started working part-time in Zhang Zian's aquarium, she had learned a lot of new knowledge that she didn't know in the past. The work shifts were not boring at all. 　　
They chatted while they did their routine cleaning, preparing for the new business day.
Zhang Zian returned to the second floor. He headed to his parents' room first to check out if the marine creatures were growing well.　　
The corals seemed normal, especially the "Ugly Duckling Coral" that he named by himself. As it grew bigger, it turned brighter and brighter under the blue light. The blue rings on the red bottom was a rare combination, making it as pretty as the most beautiful corals. 　　
He estimated that, in a few days, he could try to cut them, dividing them into twos, fours, eighths, and so forth… Soon, he would have a flock of Ugly Duckling Corals.　　
Corals might sprout or divide even if they were left alone, forming a coral bed from one single coral. Artificial cutting, however, could help them propagate faster. 　　
Before making the real cut, it was wise to practice on cheap corals.　　
The sea angels, Antarctic sea anemone, and sea butterflies were all growing very well. The sea angel's abdomen was already visibly enlarged. He was sure that it was pregnant. A school of little sea angels would be born soon. 　　
He checked the instruments once again. The high-end instruments had automatic alerts that detected abnormalities, but being careful was always good.　　
After finishing his tasks, he took the saltwater samples and headed back to the living room for the daily water quality test.　　
Pi was still typing and wearing its glasses. It paused from time to time to refer to the Nameless Book.　　
"Hey! A-jeoan! Are you outside? If you are, squeak!" Sihwa shouted from the bathroom.
"Squeak, " Zhang Zian answered her lazily, lifting his head from the microscope.　　
"Hey! You actually squeaked. Aren't you afraid all cats downstairs will come up to catch the mice? Ahahaha!" Sihwa laughed hard, feeling good about herself.　　
"Most cats in this shop don't catch mice. Some don't bother, and some just can't," Zhang Zian answered from a distance. "They might know how to catch fish, though."　
Sihwa said, "…Come in here. I have a question."　　
Zhang Zian put down his work temporarily and walked into the bathroom.　　
She lifted the phone so that he could see the words on the screen. "How do you pronounce this?"　　
Zhang Zian saw that the all of the syllables had confused her. She could not figure out why syllables like yuan, yue, and ying must be read directly, instead of pronouncing them as y-u-an, y-ue, and y-ing.　　
"Because this is a rule. There is no why." He gave a crude and simple answer. "Don't mind these minute details––just remember them."　　
Sihwa learned very quickly, as she was not a baby and had been immersed in a Mandarin-speaking environment. She encountered difficulties only once in a while.　　
"Then why is there an apostrophe in Xi'an?" she asked again.　　
"Without the apostrophe, you'd pronounce it as Xian." Zhang Zian pointed at himself and said, "And my name is actually Zi an. It's okay to omit the space in between, but in English, it may be mispronounced."　　
"Pfff. Chinese is so hard!" Sihwa was a bit discouraged.　　
"Quack! How about changing your change into Billy Zhang? I guarantee it will not be misunderstood!" Richard showed up at the right time and started quacking.　　
"No! This one will be misunderstood!" Zhang Zian complained. "Why did you fly up here again? You can't hold your bird droppings?"　　
"Quack! You look down upon me! I'm telling you. When you are away, I'm the one teaching her Pinyin!" Richard shouted.　　
Zhang Zian was quite surprised to hear that He looked at Sihwa and asked, "Is this true?"　　
Sihwa nodded. "Yes! It's true! Richard's pronunciation is very good. Much more accurate than yours!"　　
Zhang Zian spoke Mandarin, but he still carried a slight local accent, especially when he spoke with customers.　　
Despite that, he was even less reassured. He was concerned that Richard might teach her dirty and gay things, which were inappropriate.　　
"Quack! Oh, right. I'm up here for something. Someone's looking for you downstairs. You'd better go down," Richard said.　
"Fine." Zhang Zian looked back at Sihwa and said, "You can learn by yourself and write down anything you don't understand. We'll discuss it after I come back up. For the stuff the parrot teaches you, don't' believe a single word of it!"

For someone like Qiu Chenxi, who came from a respected family, she was used to such big occasions. Since a young age, she had developed the skills to conduct herself in such situations. On the contrary, for people like Qiao Nan, the biggest occasion she had seen might be the flag-raising ceremony every Monday in school.
For the sake of the Zhai family, the woman that Zhai Sheng married in the future must have this ability. 
Zhai Yaohui knew that Zhai Sheng was very much in love with Qiao Nan, and she was the first girl that his son liked. Zhai Yaohui was in a dilemma.
As a father, he was happy that his son found a girl that he liked, but as the head of the family, he had to look at the big picture.
It was because of this that Zhai Yaohui had been unclear in his attitude toward Qiao Nan. It seemed as if he had agreed to their relationship, but it also seemed as if he was against it. From time to time, he would warn Zhai Sheng to know his limits. Once Zhai Sheng went beyond the limits, as a father, he would not be lenient to Zhai Sheng. 
But after what happened today, Zhai Yaohui felt that his son had grown up. There were certain things that he could allow his son to choose and make his own decision.
"Did you see that? Nan Nan is so excellent. She is so amazing. It turns out that she learned English from Elder Lin. She has learned well from him. Great!" Miao Jing was totally unaware of the thoughts that went through her husband's mind even though he sat right beside her. 
"Great," Zhai Yaohui said faintly. If Qiao Nan did not have the ability, Zhai Sheng would not fall for her and keep it from his mother. 
"I know long ago that Nan Nan is very smart. It's just that I did not know she is so outstanding." Miao Jing stared at Qiao Nan as if she was her idol. There was a look of adoration in her sparkling eyes.
It was not without reason that the principal of the same school almost got engaged to Miao Jing.
Miao Jing was a very simple person. To her, there were three types of people in this world who she adored and respected: the teacher, the doctor, and the police.
As for the soldiers, they were at a higher level than the police.
Right now, Qiao Nan was the teacher in the army. Hence, Miao Jing looked at Qiao Nan in a different light.
Miao Jing had excellent etiquettes, but she was not good in English. 
After witnessing Qiao Nan's ability, Miao Jing had the thought of ​​learning English from Qiao Nan. Back then, she had learned English from a teacher, but she was getting on in years and was not as fast in picking up new skills. Her pronunciation was awkward and she could not remember the correct way to pronounce the English words. She was embarrassed to keep asking the teacher to repeat them. She felt like a fool in front of the teacher. 
Hence, Miao Jing gave up after a few tries.
Today was different. She only learned a few words, but she felt that it was not as difficult as what she used to believe. Like what Qiao Nan said, she was quite smart. She had managed to remember all the words that Qiao Nan taught today. 
Zhai Yaohui was about to answer Miao Jing's question when she walked off to look for Qiao Nan. 
Qiao Nan packed up her lesson plans, took a sip of water, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Nan might seem to be very relaxed during the lesson, but nobody knew that, in fact, she was very tensed up. 
Apart from adorable male and female soldiers and the people from the Zhai family, the political commissar and the other cadres in the army were there to listen to her class. The most terrifying thing was that these important people sat in the first row. Qiao Nan could see them clearly. She never had the chance to be in contact with such officials and important figures in the country.
In her previous life, she had never thought that she could have such a day.
Not only did Miao Jing go to look for Qiao Nan, but the political commissar came up to look for her as well. 
He looked at Qiao Nan awkwardly before turning to speak to Lin Yuankang. "Elder Lin, Teacher Xiao Qiao taught us well. Her teaching style was very good, and the soldiers in the army also liked her lesson. But according to what I heard in the past, can one learn English in this way? Isn't it necessary to teach pronunciation, the alphabet, the basics, etc.? Is it alright to learn all these without any foundation? Is it good?"
The political commissar only knew how to train the soldiers. He did not know how to teach English. 
However, he knew how other people conducted their English classes, so he had doubts about today's lessons. 
Qiao Nan was a young lady. The political commissar was worried that if he asked her directly, she might be too thin-skinned that she broke into tears. 
Lin Yuankang took a sip of water and looked at Qiao Nan. "Nan Nan, what do you say?" After all, he also had the same question.
Zhai Yaohui, who stood behind Miao Jing, was without any expression. However, he knitted his eyebrows, clearly waiting for Qiao Nan's reply as well. Of course, he was not interested in what Qiao Nan would say to the political commissar. He just wanted to know how Qiao Nan would behave and conduct herself in front of the political commissar. 
Qiu Chenxi, who waited to see the good show, noticed that none of the Zhai family had left, particularly Zhai Sheng, who moved to stand silently next to Qiao Nan, seemingly as if he was giving Qiao Nan his support. She gritted her teeth and walked forward to the podium.
Zhai Sheng ignored everyone else and stood quietly by Qiao Nan's side, showing that he supported and trusted her. 
Initially, when faced with such an important figure like the political commissar, Qiao Nan felt slightly weak. But she could feel Zhai Sheng standing right by her side. They stood so close to each other that she could feel his body temperature. Qiao Nan felt reassured. "Political commissar, do you want my master to teach English at the army so as to send them to take the English proficiency test, becoming professional English speakers, being able to write essays in English, as well as being able to read advanced and professional English content? Or do you want them to become experts who have perfect English pronunciation, and are competent enough to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
"No, this is not the intention," the political commissar paused momentarily and replied quickly.
"That's right. These people do not need to sit for the test. As long as they can converse in basic English, can hold their heads high in front of foreigners and uphold the dignity of the soldiers through simple greetings, isn't that good enough? Political commissar, the requirements you mentioned are not high, so I feel that it is good enough if the soldiers can converse in simple English. Not having perfect pronunciation is not a problem. We should not think too highly of the foreigners and ask too much of our own people. After all, people in different positions have different requirements. China has a large population. Every place has its own dialect, and their Mandarin comes with a local accent. Will we not understand Mandarin that has a local accent because of that? It's the same for foreigners. Even if the pronunciation is not very accurate, it will be fine as long as the meaning could be communicated across."
In ten more years, if one was to say 'milk' to the foreigners, they did not need to specifically say 'milk' in English. The foreigners would understand if one said 'niunai' in Chinese without any pinyin to it. 


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"

Under the warm hospitality of Zhou Yi and the villagers, Zhang Xiaohua and his party had lunch at the Sparrow Company. Although there was no big fish and no expensive wine, the meal was very enjoyable. They laughed together, occasionally teasing at each other. Unconsciously, they seemed to have become like a family.
After the meal, Zhou Yi and his villagers sent Zhang Xiaohua and co to the company's doorstep.
When Zhang Xiaohua arrived in front of the car, Zhou Yi shook hands with him again. There was the sense that the relationship between the two had undergone a subtle change from this strange cooperation, as if they became good brothers.
"I wish Brother Zhang a safe journey home, wait to hear the good news about the sales from me. I'll inform brother as soon as we get the first sales figures." Zhou Yi always had a smile on his face, fully complementing his image as a good man.
Looking around and seeing those children who had lost their beautiful childhood in order to help their families out, Zhang Xiaohua took a bank card and stuffed it into Zhou Yi's hands. "This still has some money on it, the pin is five-eight-nine-two. Go back and buy them some shoes, toys, and some books. Try not to let them learn those basic crafts like carpentering; instead, they should learn academic subjects like maths!"
"Brother Zhang, how can I accept this money?" Zhou Yi understood Zhang Xiaohua's motives, but even if he wanted to accept the other person's money, he couldn't do it as those parents would feel ashamed.
"You shouldn't misunderstand, this money is not given to you in vain, I'm only lending it to you guys for the time being. In the future, I'll come directly collect it back. In addition, children are not easy to care for. You don't want to watch them lose even their last bit of innocence and lose out on creating some childhood memories. Right?" Zhang Xiaohua said seriously.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability now. Otherwise, this card wouldn't only have a few thousand yuan. Even if it was tens of millions, as long as those children were able to learn, he wouldn't be half-hearted.
Since Zhang Xiaohua said those words to him, Zhou Yi had no choice but to give in and accept the money. He gratefully accepted the bank card.
"Remember to buy more sweets for the children!" In the car, Emma reminded with a grin.
Zhou Yi smiled, but when he remembered the children, he felt ashamed.
Those villagers raised them and cared for them when they were younger. They also collectively paid for their university fees. However, when they finished, they couldn't even find jobs and had no choice but to return. Even after all that, they still didn't have the ability to take care of the children in the village. They could only allow the children to learn some skills at the factory and trade skills from the carpenters and such. Zhou Yi's heart had always been embarrassed thinking about it!
But now, it was okay. After the records were sold, the lives of the villagers and the children would be somewhat improved. For this reason, Zhou Yi felt very gratified but still even more grateful to Zhang Xiaohua for his generosity.
"Well, folks, take care. We will see you again next time." After that, Zhang Xiaohua got in the car, waved farewell and drove away.
"Boss Zhang, remember to visit often!" The villagers waved enthusiastically.
......
Returning to the company, it was already 5pm, Yuan Datong and co had no intention of leaving work. However, with all the current jobs in the company already completed, they wanted something to do but didn't know where to start.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?" Emma asked.
"Create a netizen army." Zhang Xiaohua spoke freely of this cyber term.
Emma was shocked, and so were the others. They all had sharp brains, but just couldn't understand his strange terms.
Seeing everyone puzzled, Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and smiled. It seemed that there was no such thing as a "netizen army" in this world. He explained, "You job is to keep posting on the Internet. It's best to visit Wang Jingwen Weibo and post on it, try to stir up her fan base. In short, let all those who support her know that her album is already on sale, and then attach a file of all the sale outlets."
After Zhang Xiaohua's explanation, everyone was suddenly enlightened. Emma said as she grinned, "It's just to help Wang Jingwen's record gain attention, it's simple."
"While we are doing that, what will you do?" asked Datong, who looked curiously at Zhang Xiaohua.
"Continue to write songs and get prepared to open a concert for our big star," answered Zhang Xiaohua.
At present, including the Mandarin version of "Broken Hearted Woman", Wang Jingwen only had a total of seven songs. Opening a fan club was okay, but if they wanted to hold a concert, there were too few tracks.
"Concert!!!" Everyone exclaimed together.
Of course, they were not surprised to hear about Wang Jingwen getting a concert after all, that was to be expected. But to open a concert, one needs at least twenty songs as the minimum requirement, currently they had only 7 songs in total and although every single one of them was a classic, they simply wouldn't be enough.
"Boss, I think it's time to create a fan club for Wang Jingwen. But for a concert, I think there aren't enough songs," Emma said quietly. The others also madly nodded, it was far too soon to plan a concert, but making a fan club now would be fair enough.
"I'm going to write a few songs for her. Let's give her twenty songs first." Zhang Xiaohua justified himself. There was no pressure in the words, and it didn't sound like he was joking.
"Boss, do you mean to say that you can still write 13 songs for Wang Jingwen?" Emma stared at Zhang Xiaohua with a pair of watery eyes. If Zhang Xiaohua said yes, then Emma would likely burst into tears. Who would believe that he could continuously create 13 songs? Unless he was God!
"Yeah!" Zhang Xiaohua responded without thinking.
"..."
They collectively replied with silence.
After a moment, they couldn't help laughing.
This time, Zhang Xiaohua actually reached the same level as "God" in their eyes.
Yuan Datong was too lazy to bother questioning Zhang Xiaohua. He sat in front of a computer and started crazily posting to help Wang Jingwen's album gain popularity online.
The others also started to work, taking up their mobile phones, registering multiple IDs and mixed in with Wang Jingwen's major fans. They spared no effort to help Wang Jingwen with advertising, completely ignoring the existence of an individual.
Zhang Xiaohua just laughed out loud and started to work, intending to create several catchy songs, so they could hold a concert.
Of course, the main purpose of Zhang Xiaohua was to make use of Wang Jingwen's popularity to make as much money as possible in the shortest possible time because Zhang Xiaohua felt that Wang Jingwen would eventually betray them. He still remembered her gaze towards him when he turned down those large record labels, it was a look of bitter hatred as if he had murdered her family. He shuddered just thinking of it.
Simply put, he felt that though she acted like an innocent flower; however, she was just biding her time for revenge.
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua was forced to use her. Even if he knew that Wang Jingwen was disloyal, he couldn't help but hold on to her. After all, she was the only person who could sing the songs while having the image needed. At this moment, he was just hoping to gain as much money as possible from her, then replace her as soon as possible.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua had no choice. As long as Wang Jingwen was still in the company, he must continue to write songs for her!
......
Later, Zhang Xiaohua returned home.
As the recent period was just too busy, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't spare the time to see his mother.
His father had just passed away. So, besides Liu Yan, she had no one to spend time with.
As an only child and the only man in the family, Zhang Xiaohua felt his behaviour was a bit too much.
He decided to accompany his mother first, work and other things could wait.
At this thought, Zhang Xiaohua called out for his mother several times, but he didn't receive a response.
Zhang Xiaohua felt it was strange, was his mother not at home?
But his mother didn't have many close friends, plus she doesn't like to go out, especially at this time.
Was she in her room?
Walking up to his mother's room, Zhang Xiaohua went to knock on the door, and simultaneously Liu Yan came out from the room, smoothly closing the door behind her and blocked his path.
"Liu Yan, is my mother in the room? I haven't seen her for so long. I want to chat with her today." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile. Only in front of Liu Yan and his mother would he reveal this innocent smile, he felt as if he were a child again in front of them.
"My lady is still a bit uncomfortable and just fell asleep. Young master mustn't bother her." Liu Yan mouth put on a slight smile. Just looking at it, it could be found out that her smile was somewhat unnatural.
"She is still ill?" Zhang Xiaohua frowned and wondered. However, after Liu Yan said this, he also thought about it faintly. His mother's complexion had recently looked a bit poor.
"It's nothing major, the madame just has a bit of a fever, I'll take good care of her, so young master shouldn't worry about it." Liu Yan smiled and then abruptly changed the subject: "Dinner is not yet ready, young master. I must go and cook, can I please ask the young master to go to the living room to watch TV? When I'm done, I call young master to eat."
"No, I'm not hungry."
Since Liu Yan said that his mother was alright, Zhang Xiaohua didn't think too much about it. He smiled and raised his eyebrows as he sincerely asked, "I've been a bit busy lately, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my mother. Well, I shall go ahead first, good night, Liu Yan!" he said as he walked to his room.
Watching Zhang Xiaohua walking further and further away, Liu Yan smile gradually turned into a frown. She felt ashamed and guilty as she sighed with grief and helplessness. It seemed that whatever the issue was, it was an insurmountable one!


Zhang Xiaohua was a washed-up artist who tragically passed away in a car accident after heroically saving a child’s life. After his death, Zhang Xiaohua’s soul was transmigrated into a parallel universe where the entertainment industry has become sluggish.

"Mother wants me to teach you how to write."

"I already know how to write."

"(Sigh), well it's not feminine at all."

What the hell! I'm sorry if I can't write the way you want me to. 

"We'll start tomorrow."

"Wha-?"

You didn't even give me a chance to give my opinion at all you dumbass! How can you leave right when I was going to protest?

"Mistress Xiu, the Madame has summoned you."

What is it? Why are they calling on me so much? Can't they just leave me be like the other concubines?

I followed the Madame's runner to her hall. Once I was there, I bowed so respectfully, so much that you could not see my face.

What is that girl doing? Haha! Am I that scary?

"Get up... Concubine Xiu, I've been thinking that you are my perfect candidate! I wonder if you can do something for me?"

(Inwardly sigh) She has such a happy face, I would hate myself if I didn't do as she said. "What does Madame want this lowly concubine do?"

"Lately, I have been thinking about training one the concubines to be a perfect wife for my son. You guys don't know how behave and so, he doesn't care a bit for you concubines, but! Concubine Xiu, you are already halfway perfect, you just need some training and you will be off."

"What does this concubine have that makes Madame say so?" Seriously, what is going on. You have 2 other ladies you could train. Why me?

"Since you already accepted my training. Come in!"

"Mistress Xiu, this servant will be in charge of training you to be a good house wife. You may call me Qi."

"Concubine Xiu, although this servant of mine has been divorced 2 times, I can promise you that her husband has treated her beyond well!"

Why would I not think of that already? She is a servant of yours, of course she is talented. If I reject her offer, she would think I am being and ungrateful wench. And I already accepted her offer when she asked me.

If I knew that was what she wanted me to do, I would have rejected! I actually got trapped. Damn, her smile. It was definitely her smile. The Madame never smiled much. I should have knew it already when she was beaming full of sunshine.

With a forced smile, I accepted her "training", "Then, this concubine thanks Madame for her generosity."

Going back to the Winter Court, the Aunt Qi, was more than deep into training me. The whole way back she talked about how I should dress more for the prince, how I should care for my body for the prince, how I need to learn how to embroider for the prince, and so many more things I was about to go crazy.

When we got back, Aunt Qi, showed me how to embroider, but I think I scared her off. She was so shocked when she saw my embroidery of two mandarin birds. It was normal, but my skills has already reached top notch that whatever I embroider is so beautiful, people die for it.

"Mistress Xiu, let's make this into a fragrance bag."

"Alright." She definitely is going to tell me to send this to the prince. Well, not a bad idea. I can definitely use this chance to get Prince Wu to not give me a writing class. I'm not being fearless, but honest. (Sigh) It's scary though.

I've successfully angered him 2 times since coming here already. If my honesty, kills me, what should I do?

After finishing my fragrance bag, I felt like it was too ordinary, so I told Aunt Qi that I want to make a bookmark for the prince.

"Why would you do that? We women usually give nutritional soups and bags for our husbands."

"But he's the prince and he already has 2 other concubines doing that for him already, so in order to stand out, shouldn't I do this instead?"

"Oh child, I'm surely dumb. Haha... You're right. When it comes to competing, you need to stand out. His Higness loves talents, I'm sure you'll get him to notice you."

Haha... I don't want him to notice me, I'm just doing this so that you can get me a good review for the Madame. For her only.

Then, I started on the bookmark. It was made with jade and on there was a dragon carving. Normally it would be hard to make it in just one night, but who am I? I'm a skilled a woman, not the ones that just beg. There was also a poem on it.

I then made another another bag for the bookmark. The bag had a matching embroidery to the bookmark.

On the next day, I set to the prince's courtyard. I've never gone to his courtyard before (And I wished for it to stay like that) , but I can say that, I have to say, we need to treasure the scenery. 

"Shao, may I see His Highness?"

"Please wait, this servant needs to ask."

"Thank you."

He left, so I waited at the prince's courtyard's entrance door.

"In 1 hour, let her come in."

"Understood." Your Highness, didn't you want to see her too? I don't understand your romance techniques, Your Highness.

"What are you doing? Didn't you say you like her? Your way to capture a heart is really strange."

"Punishment."

"What did she wrong that your punishing her? I really want to know."

"No need."

"Whatever you say my friend." This dude... How is he going to get her like that?

Why is Shao taking so long? It's already been an hour.

When I was about to think about going back and say that I'm never visiting him again, Shu Xienghao came out.

With a smile, I greeted him, "Greeting to Scholar Shu."

"Haha, you look good in a smile. You should always smile."

*Blush* How can I blush just with that one sentence? I'm already owned. Wait wait wait... (Sigh) This is going nowhere with my stupid mentality right now.

"Thank you for your compliment..."

"A woman such as you, should be treasured."

"Huh?"

What is he saying? Don't tell me he's trying to court me? I mean he's nice and all, but I'm not ready to get involved in a relationship, yet. Not until I find how to remove this stupid curse of a scar.

Inside the room, Prince Wu was angry that his best friend had just flirted with his woman, but after thinking for a while, he came to regret, instead. Regret that he told his runner to let her wait outside in the cold for a whole entire hour.

"Mistress Xiu, the prince has allowed you to come in."

That man! I'm never coming back here and even if I do, it won't be me, but Aunt Qi!

--------------------------------------------------
Preview on the story...

On a fine day, Xia Lin's ex-boyfriend comes to greet her. Xia Lin had been with Xiao Qiang for the day showing him the modern world. 

"Hey! Ling Ling nice to see you again. Want to-ahh my eyes!"

Xiao Qiang pulled her into a deep kiss in front of her ex with a triumphant smirk that seems to say, "Hmph! I win."
--------------------------------------------------
At a party, in the restroom, Xiao Qian pulled her into a kiss.

"Xiao Qian, we are at a party."

He pulls out his sad and cute puppy eyes, "But all the men were staring at you."

"Sigh... What am I going to do with you. Your too unfair Xiao Qian."
--------------------------------------------------
After Xia Lin came back from work, she found that Little Tan was missing.

"Honey, where is Little Tan?"

"I sent him to spend time with Father Liu."

"Wh-mph!"

Xiao Qian pushed her down to the bed and started to kiss her. "I need time with you too."

It was natural for the metamorphosing red reiki to have a higher quality than white reiki during the Foundation Establishment Stage. From training the body to expanding the sea of reiki to drawing talismans, the red reiki was infinitely more powerful than the white reiki. Its strength was simply on another level.
However, after Akie Hanzawa had fulfilled his obsessiveness, the remaining amount of reiki was too massive. It would be impossible to assimilate it with the white reiki in his body. Kazuki was worried that the white reiki in his body would instead consume the red reiki.
Then, the red reiki traveled towards the sea of reiki. With the sea of reiki as its center, it flowed to every part of Kazuki's body. Suddenly, the red reiki coursed through his every vein and expanded his sea of reiki.
When the red reiki had washed over his whole body, it gradually disappeared. Kazuki was not disappointed with the results. He could not possibly stop cultivating to preserve the red reiki. After he had calmed down, he proceeded to cultivate with the help of the Sun and Moon Sword… A few minutes later, faint red reiki appeared in the sea of reiki, thus surprising Kazuki.
Did the red reiki assimilate with the white reiki in the body? With this in mind, Kazuki sped up the absorption of the reiki… For nearly an hour, he absorbed the reiki with the assistance of the Sun and Moon Sword.
The reiki absorbed from the world was naturally white and transparent before reaching the Metamorphosis Stage. However, when this white reiki was absorbed into the sea of reiki, an unprecedented phenomenon occurred as it accumulated.
These white reiki accumulated, merged, and shrank in the sea of reiki. Then, faint red reiki reappeared in the sea of reiki. No matter how much reiki he absorbed from heaven and earth, he could not expand the red reiki anymore.
Kazuki let out a sigh and exhaled a wisp of thin air. It flew for a short distance before dissipating.
"I am in the second level of the Foundation Establishment Stage now," Kazuki uttered. He was not overjoyed because the result was expected. The reiki from Akie Hanzawa was enough for him to enter the second level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. From the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Core Formation Stage, the cultivation would progress at the speed of light if there was sufficient reiki.
In the past, there was a cultivation genius in the Spiritual Academy's combat class. The Metamorphosis Stage took him three days, and only 10 days were required for him to enter the Core Formation Stage. Within a month, he had reached the peak of the Core Formation Stage. He remained there for five years before finally entering the Golden Core Stage.
Kazuki looked inside at the sea of reiki and discovered red reiki hovering around. Its size was similar to the red reiki left behind by Akie Hanzawa, and it had not grown even though his limits were expanded.
"It seems like… the amount of red reiki formed by the apparition, and then created in the sea of reiki remains unchanged, no matter how much it is absorbed." Kazuki was not disappointed, because this was an unexpected reward. Instead, he was baffled to know that reiki formed from a dissipated apparition was red in color. It was quite a surprise.
He had minimal experience, he did not know if all spirits were similar. The quality of the reiki from each dissipated apparition might differ, so he would need to observe further.
However, the ancient Cultivators had never recorded this phenomenon. Had they not seen it before? Or maybe… They might have encountered it, but they kept it a secret. They would only reveal the secrets to their successors.
Kazuki was more inclined to believe in the latter.
The Cultivators never mentioned it even after the recuperation of the reiki era. The library had no records too. They didn't need to fulfil an apparition's obsessiveness or absorb the reiki formed after they dissipated. It was simply not necessary for them.
Kazuki pondered for a moment and picked up his phone to look at the time. He found that Chiba Shiori had sent him a message.
"What is your Line ID? I'll invite you to the group ヾ(*?▽'*)?."
"Hello, hello? Why are you not answering me? ((?(//?Д/?/)?))"
The two messages were sent half an hour apart, and the latest one was sent two minutes ago.
Line was the 'Japanese WeChat,' and this application was already installed in Kazuki's phone. He had not logged into Line for a year, but he still remembered his account's password.
After logging into his account, he sent his ID to Chiba Shiori.
"I'll add you (??ω`?)." Chiba Shiori wrote back within seconds.
The group messaging function of Line was different from Huaxia's QQ group or WeChat group. You could apply for them if you had the ID number of the group. Line's group was more similar to the QQ discussion group, whereby only the people you knew could invite you.
Kazuki's used his username 'Magician' as he was immediately invited into a group called 'Light Novel Space.'
"Oh! Oh! New fellow, welcome!"
"Are you a big brother or a big sister?"
"A new member actually joined this old group?"
"It was an invitation from Word Temple-kun…what a surprise."
'Light Fiction Space' had been created for a few years, it was not as lively as the other new groups. After some time, only about 30 people were left, and most of them were older. It was not uncommon to find thousands of new messages every day, as almost everyone was a light novel author. They might be introverts outside the online world, but each of them was a keyboard warrior on the internet.
They were very welcoming to the new member, as this group had not received any newcomers for half a year. Thus, Kazuki received a warm welcome when he joined the group. Some of them proceeded to ask him what works had he written.
"I'm just an amateur. I have been studying how to write novels recently. I hope that I can learn from my seniors if I joined this group," Kazuki kept a low profile, as he was not really a light novelist. He had joined the group to investigate Chiyoko. Presumably, she was a teacher of the fourth class of the second grade in Akichi High School. Thus, it was vital to remain inconspicuous.
"You must be very talented if Word Temple-Kun invited you. Word Temple-Kun published the first novel that 'he' wrote, and even rejected the idea of holding a fan-sign event for 'him.' @YanSiJun, show yourself! You should introduce the person you invited."
As he looked at 'him,' Kazuki realized that the people in the group did not know that Chiba Shiori was a lady.
"Oh, that novel of mine was mediocre. Why should I hold a fansign event? I would be so embarrassed if no one came (｀д′)." Chiba Shiori was relieved no one rejected Kazuki. She rolled in her bed in her pyjamas and laid on her stomach, with both her feet in the air. "Don't worry. The new person I brought in is very talented, but he is still learning. Everyone, please take good care of him (?????)."
Chiba Shiori was quite popular as she was one of the oldest members of the group. The usual lurkers in the group started typing as well when they saw her reply.
"Don't worry. Feel free to ask me any questions you have in the future."
"Troubled Woman-Kun, you should first take care of yourself. Didn't you say that your editor returned your manuscript several times?"
"I knew it was you from how you write. It is indeed Troubled Woman-Kun bragging when I look."
"How dare the oldest newcomer reappear, have you forgotten your gambling agreement with Chiyoko? XDDDD"
"@Magician. Hi newcomer. I'll give you a suggestion since you are still learning to write novels. If you understand Chinese, you can read the online novels written by Huaxia… Someone in the industry read a Huaxia's online novel called 'Rebirth of the Magic Age' and borrowed its ideas for his novel. Now, the novel is published and even animated."
"I've read the novel before, it had no meaningful content… I have no idea why it became so famous."
"It was indeed hollow, but it raked in a lot of money. I am extremely envious! If I understood Chinese, I would also read Huaxia's web novels for reference."
"Ugh… I heard that 'Rebirth of the Magic Era' was written by Huaxia about six to seven years ago…"
"Looks like it is time to learn Mandarin!"
Kazuki observed silently as the group members chattered away. He did not type anything because he did not know what to say. He was a newcomer, after all. Would it be a good idea to ask everyone questions about Chiyoko right away? They would probably kick me out of the group…
Chiyoko did not speak even though he waited for half a day, but he decided against privately messaging her. He was in no rush. After all, he had all the time in the world.


Time travelling from the majestic era after the Recuperation of Reiki, he became Kimura Kazuki, a 16-year-old high school student in Japan, one year before the Reiki Recuperation.

Tentatively, he set out to hone himself to the bone, burning candles at both ends to stockpile resources in preparation for the imminent Recuperation of Reiki. His goal was to be many steps ahead of all humanity when the time comes.

However, it seemed like fate had decided to play a cruel trick on him.

One year later, the Recuperation of Reiki... did not happen as expected.
