Returning a library book has never been so hard.

"Perhaps I'm going at it the wrong way."

Ves tried to kill the image embedded into a copy of the DarkSpear's design in various ways. No matter what kind of weapon he materialized in his mind, the stubborn manifestation of the Last Spear always parried his attempts.

Each time he got rebuffed, his mental stability took another hit. His brain became so disarrayed that he had to halt his attempts to kill the image.

"Maybe that's the problem. I'm not treating it with respect."

Ves realized he fell into the trap he often accused others of falling for all the time. His design was not some commodity to be used and discarded at will. It possessed its own determination to live, at least in his conception of how the multiverse worked.

Despite his strong visualization, Ves could never really rule out that everything that happened earlier was just a figment of his imagination. The further he delved into the X-Factor, the more he relied on intuition instead of theory backed by solid science.

Still, the image was so strong that it couldn't be imaginary. His headaches felt very real.

After trying and failing to take the forceful approach, Ves tried to use a gentler means to coax the image.

"I need you to be able to wield a pair of daggers. Will you let me change your fighting style?"

The manifestation objected strongly to this change. He wielded the spear like it was his sacred duty. Even if he shifted his profession from a royal guard to a slinking assassin, he never got rid of his determination to slay his enemies with the weapon of his choice. Taking up a pair of daggers made the manifestation feel dirty.

Ves only had himself to blame for these personality traits. In his original vision, the DarkSpear focused completely on wielding its spear to its maximum effect. He threw no consideration to any alternatives due to a lack of carrying capacity. Even adding in a backup knife ruined its balance.

Against the intractable Last Spear, Ves made no headway in achieving any sort of compromise. The manifestation did not even leave the door open to negotiation. He didn't even blame the stubborn creation for refusing his overtures.

Even if Ves expressed his sincerity, his patience had a limit.
Perhaps he could make another attempt by starting over, but Ves did not wish to leave this problem unfulfilled. There might be a time in the future where he had to make some changes on the fly. If he still didn't possess a solution to this problem, he'd be facing constant setbacks and delays.

He took a step back and tried to parse the situation. The manifestation inhabiting the copy of the DarkSpear design never showed any signs of tiring. Where did it get its energy? Was it inexhaustible or could Ves slowly chip away at its reserves?

If he could figure out this puzzle, he may be able to come up with a means to wear down this stubborn image.

Then he thought about how the X-Factor centered around the unity of the mech designer, mech and mech pilot. Leaving the pilot out of consideration, what if Ves forcibly tried to change the design with an overriding image? Could he impose his own vision over the original design and therefore change the fundamental makeup of the X-Factor?

As much as Ves treated the images like living beings, they exhibited many traits that left them open to exploitation. "They exist in the imaginary realm and have to obey the rules that govern their existence. They aren't solid in a way that makes them unassailable. If I can chip away at their foundation, I can open a crack in their defenses."

Ves took a break in order to get his mind back in order. He played around with Lucky and cataloged the gems he excreted lately. The cat lately complained about an insufficiency of high quality minerals, so Ves had to order a new shipment of premium ores to stop Lucky's badgering.

"What's another million or so credits?" He ruefully told himself. "Compared to my cat's wellbeing, money is no objection."

His cat ate so much minerals and only produced a couple of gems in the end. The disparity between input and output was so huge that Ves wondered how his mechanical cat's digestion actually worked.

Did Lucky convert low-quality minerals to high quality alloys within its digestive system or did he turn it into pure energy?

Both possibilities seem outlandish considering Lucky's size. Only the most advanced labs could accomplish such a feat.

Other than cutting him open, Ves had no way to be sure. He left the problem aside and decided to catch up on the news.

He visited the galactic net and saw much of the same doom and gloom. Rising costs started to trickle down to the consumers and everyone felt the pinch. Their willingness to spend more on luxury goods declined, which caused several businesses catering to these markets to decline in turn.

The Republic's economy slowly transitioned into war footing Production of mechs, turrets, carriers and a vast amount of supplies ramped up in preparation of half a decade of war. Naturally, the bulk of these extra orders went to the big established companies. Small fry like his Living Mech Corporation barely benefited from this upsurge of demand. In fact, the rising cost of production negated most of his gains.

"How is House Kaine doing these days?"

With the expedition over, House Kaine and Ves went their separate ways. By now, the Ark Horizon should have made the journey back to the Grey Willow Star Sector.

Ves searched the news and found that Lord Kaine had made some waves upon his return. House Kaine had actually been in bad shape for a while and even stood to lose its most valuable planets. However, the successful expedition turned the tables on the vultures that preyed for their fall.

With a new champion in the form of Felicity Kaine, House Kaine successfully gained prominence through a number of duels against rival houses. The major reason why she won the duel was because her Cathrec received an overhaul that vastly increased its power generation.

Finally, House Kaine announced a number of partnerships with the CFA, which also contributed to their ascendancy. With the tacit backing of a behemoth in the form of the Common Fleet Alliance, House Kaine didn't have to worry about rivals trying to undermine them in secret for a couple of years.

"The CFA must have gotten a great haul out of the Groening System."

Much of the frontier remained untouched by human greed. The galaxy was simply too large to be explored in its entirety. Treasure and danger coexisted alongside each other in this vast sea of stars. House Kaine happened to have gambled and won in their last ditch effort to make a big score.

Still, Ves knew how fraught it had been at certain times. The news only celebrated the success stories. For every successful expedition, ten more crashed and burned. Out here in the frontier, people regarded treasure hunting as delayed form of suicide.

After Ves finished his recovery, he summoned up the copy of the design and prepared for round two. This time, he opted to go for an indirect approach, seeing as he could never beat the vigilant manifestation in a head-on clash.

First, Ves adjusted his vision for the DarkSpear. He visualized his custom mech's performance if Ves adopted Jarle's suggestions. The frame took on a slightly different shape that enhanced its flexibility. Its prominent spear made way for a pair of blackened curved daggers. The mech's overall paint scheme took on a Mosville blue shade, with the team logo prominently replacing the royal emblem on its chest.

Now that he had his vision, Ves turned his attention to constructing the right accompanying image. He had to be careful with this step because he didn't wish to ruin his custom mech's X-Factor by destroying its original identity.

"I have to supplement the image somehow."

Ves had a good idea on how to go about it. First, he constructed a simple image centered around Jarle Brenthill. He summoned another projector and let it display some highlights of the mech athlete's career. A vague entity emerged in his mind that carried the essence of Jarle's piloting style.

"This should be close enough."

Then he slowly started tweaking the actual design. He already prepared his plans beforehand, so he worked swiftly in dismantling his design's original arrangements. Ves avoided bumping into the manifestation. Instead, he solely focused on his new vision and image and tried to embed it into his current work.

This time, he encountered no obstruction. The manifestation of his design's X-Factor started to take on different traits as Ves slowly changed the fundamental nature of his design. The schematic and its accompanying X-Factor turned from a pure spear wielder into a transitional form that made it better at wielding daggers.

It was as if a drop of black paint had fallen onto a bucket of water. The previously clear water became murkier as it took on a grey shade. The longer Ves worked, the more drops of paint fell down into the bucket.

In the meantime, the manifestation didn't even realize its own contradictory nature. The image flickered a lot as it couldn't decide whether to wield a spear or a pair of daggers.

The dichotomy became more pronounced as Ves continued to work on the design for the next couple of days. The design steadily reached a tipping point where its original identity of a spear wielder became lost.

"Now should be a good time."

Ves switched the swear for a pair or daggers he already prepared beforehand. The curved weapons fit the new design like a glove. For a moment, he expected explosions, but nothing drastic resulted from this action. The manifestation slowly warped and solidified into a dagger wielder. Its appearance even resembled Jarle.

"It worked!"

He learned something new with attempt. His images drew their strength from their source. Affecting the source allowed Ves to affect the original X-Factor in a form that fit his modifications better. He felt relieved that he didn't have to go back to the drawing board each time he wanted to update his design or derive a custom mech out of one of his models.

The ramifications of this experiment affected more than just his own models. Ves wondered if he could apply the same method to other designs or mechs. He could even use it as a subtle form of sabotage.

"If I ever happen to be working on a mech for someone I hate, I can subsume its X-Factor with a malevolent spirit. Even if every inspection checks out, the mech will still perform worse than normal."

He quickly discarded the idea. Something like that would never happen. Mech pilots wanted people he could trust to work on their mechs. Putting an enemy in charge of your own war materiel was just asking for trouble.

Now that he solved the biggest issue, Ves resumed his design work and finalized his modifications. Most of the changes required a decent amount of testing that ate up a lot of time, but Ves wanted to insure he delivered a flawless product. The fate of the sponsorship deal and Jarle's enthusiasm for his endorsement mattered a lot.

"This is going to be my first proper entry into the Bentheim market. Once the DarkSpear catches on, my other models will see a surge in popularity."

Once that happened, Ves gained a foothold in the notoriously crowded Bentheim mech scene. He expected to boost both is virtual and real business activities from that point.

According to the latest shipping update, his new equipment should arrive at his workshop in the coming week. Once he unpacked his goodies and installed them on the workshop floor, he'd be ready for the next phase in his business plan.

"I'm still short on money, though."

With only a couple of component licenses under his belt, Ves needed at least a dozen more to round out his collection. With his company's current war chest, he'd be hard pressed to license a set of decent components that could fit his minimum standards.

He intended to design a premium mech, after all. He should invest at least a billion credits in this area to avoid inconsistencies in his original design.

"Where can I find some money!"

Short of exchanging his valuable merits or finding an opportunity to make a quick buck, Ves considered whether he should take another loan.

Humanity has conquered half the galaxy and the Age of Mechs reigns supreme!

Ves Larkinson lacked the genetic aptitude to become a famed mech pilot. Fighting against his fate, he studied mech design in order to express his love for mechs as a builder instead of a soldier.

When Ves graduated from college, he returned to a new but empty boutique. Left with a small, newly founded mech workshop that his father painstakingly built with a mountain of debt, Ves somehow needs to make ends meet with the bank breathing down his neck.

In the midst of his despair, he found salvation from another legacy his father had left.

"Welcome to the Mech Designer System. Please design your new mech."

She updated this an hour ago, and there was a composite photo with Xia Yili underneath the text.
Lin Wanwan frowned slightly. Was Su Maner referring to "Close Range with a Star" starting in two hours?
She did not know why, but she felt that there was a double meaning to it.
However, it was also pointless to think so much. There was always a solution to a problem.
At the same time, there was a single villa not too far away from Imperial Capital High School. This was Su Maner's house.
She was wearing white lounge wear, and there was an aura of natural affinity being exuded. Sitting on the beige leather sofa, she dialed a number. "How long more until the reporters arrive?"
"Around half an hour."
"Got it." After hanging up the call, Su Maner went upstairs to her cloakroom.
Knock knock. She knocked on the door twice. "Teacher Shangguan, may I enter?"
"Enter."
Upon hearing this, Su Maner pushed the door open and entered.
In the big cloakroom, a woman in her thirties wearing a long ink-blue retro dress was seated in front of the long table. She was holding a drawing pen in her hand and sketching smooth lines on a piece of paper. 
Shangguan Xi lifted her head and glanced at her. "Ms. Su, what specific design would you like for this season's autumn wear?" 
"Whatever you think is good."
Su Maner smiled and walked over. She stood behind Shangguan Xi.
"You are one of the top fashion designers in the country. It is my honor to have invited you to help me design for this season's autumn wear. I believe in Teacher's standards and ability."
Shangguan Xi did not even bat an eyelid. She said plainly, "However perfect things may be, there may always appear better ones. I can't afford to be the top that you have spoken of."
Su Maner gritted her teeth. Regardless of how famous she was, she was just a tailor who made clothes. How dared she put on airs in front of the customer! 
If it wasn't that Shangguan Xi was of use to her, she would not have let Godfather help hire her!
Su Maner took a deep breath and smiled again. "Teacher Shangguan, I heard that you met Master Jennifer seven years ago and was lucky enough to participate in her designer works. Is this true?"
Once Jennifer was mentioned, Shangguan Xi's face could not hide the admiration she had for her and she nodded with pride.
"Yes, it was an international design competition where the person in the first place would become Master Jennifer's assistant and finish a designed work together with her. I was very lucky to win the champion."
Her biggest honor in this lifetime was not winning trophies from all kinds of top competitions but to be lucky enough to be Jennifer's assistant!
As a fashion designer, Jennifer was not only her idol but also a milestone in this era for this profession.
Su Maner's eyes shone and she clenched her fists with excitement. "Then you can definitely recognize Master Jennifer's designs?"
"Of course." Shangguan Xi looked at her strangely. "Why are you asking this?"
Su Maner held back her words for a while, sighed and said, "It's like this. I know an actress who said that she has an outfit Master Jennifer personally designed for her. I found it strange. Master had already retired for so many years. How could she design an outfit for a newbie? So I wanted to ask Teacher Shangguan if what she said was true."
"Nonsense!"
Shangguan Xi jerked and slapped the table once heavily. Her face was ghastly pale and her eyes were filled with anger.
"Who's the one who do not know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is and actually created such a lie? Before Master Jennifer announced her retirement in public, she mentioned that she would only design clothes for her close relatives and friends in the future. According to what I know, she has no friends in Xia country!"


Lin Wanwan is a pitiful mentally-disabled girl. Not only does she suffer abuse from her stepmother, her stepmother even attempts to use her as a sexual commodity to pleasure others. Eventually, the poor Wanwan dies from an overdose…

Perhaps a god or a devil had witnessed her tragic fate, but Wanwan gets a brand new chance at life—an external soul takes over her body and gains Wanwan's memories.

The resurrected Lin Xiao swears to seek revenge for Wanwan.

Having witnessed Wanwan's death and resurrection process, Tang Chen is intrigued by the changes she undergoes. When he tries to cheat Wanwan to gain possession of her, a knight descends from the sky and saves her. He allows her to seek his help thrice.

Just who is this mysterious knight?

The revived Wanwan demonstrates her astounding talent and intelligence. Not only does she leave her enemies helpless against her, but she also becomes a celebrity who sweeps through the entertainment industry. Who exactly is she?

When Wanwan interacts more with the knight, she realizes that he is actually a devil…

"From this moment forth, every inch of your body is mine. Resistance is futile."

He had descended like Satan, wantonly occupying her body and mind…

It's fine. Even if he's the devil, he would still be trampled beneath her feet.

Ding Dong

Ya Nuo clapped her hands together energetically and ran to open the door for the salesman. Earlier, Wei Na and Ya Nuo made calls to their favorite lingerie and pajama stores to deliver their newest one of a kind design to them. Since both of them were regular customers, the brand manager came to deliver the clothes personally, hoping to meet this month's quota in one day. 

"Hello, Mrs. Xu and Miss. Shen, I brought our latest seasonal outfits. Where would you like me to leave them?" The brand manager gave them her brightest smile.

"You can leave the outfits out in the living room, but please try to minimize your volume because my babies are asleep. I don't want to wake them up." Ya Nuo opened the door for the staff to push numerous rackets of clothes into the house. 

After everything was settled, the brand manager started introducing their newest designs, "Hello Miss. Huang, it's a pleasure seeing you here today. May I ask whom the lingerie and pajamas are for?"

Wei Na and Ya Nuo stepped aside and pointed at Nana, "Your customer is her today. We will be checking out the newest products that you brought here and make some suggestions for her." 

As if the brand manager could see her month's commission floating down from the sky, her smile broadened, "Then, allow me to introduce you our most popular products. Miss. Huang, you have a very nice figure and should choose more daring, designed lingerie that would highlight your flirtatious side. May I ask if this is for yourself or for someone else to see?"

"For.. my boyfriend." Nana felt a bit shy as her eyes wandered around the lace and strings around the room.

"Oh! Then what a lucky man he is. Here, sweetie. Now, for each piece, I want you to try visualizing yourself in it and what you'll be doing to get your man's attention. The moment you are able to see yourself in it and making your confident, initiative moves, the outfit is the right one for you." She walked over to the first outfit that she had in mind for Nana.

"Let's begin. Check out this piece. This lingerie comes in two pieces. The bra is one of my favorites as it could unhook from the front and if you look carefully, the lace design does not cover your chest entirely. If this is for heightening up the heat in the bedroom or simply a tease, this is the best. The second part is a thong styled laced garter. Though simple, most of my customers came back extremely satisfied with its effect." She winked making Nana blush deeply.

When Nana saw the lingerie in the manager's hand, her heart raced rapidly as if she could already imagine herself in some sort of action. She was imagining herself in this outfit, sitting on top of her desk as Zhen Qi touches her body. 'I could see the look on his face already...'

The brand manager knew that expression on her face, "Now, let's put this baby aside. The next piece that I want to recommend for you is another two parts one. This design is like an apron, also made of lace. If you are thinking about some naughty action, whether in the kitchen or bedroom or anywhere else, this would make your man go crazy for you."

"This design hugs your body shape and shows hints of your privates. The back of this piece is nothing but strings, so be careful how well you tie the knot. You can make it loose, so either it unties by itself accidentally or he does it for you. It's a very fun piece if you enjoy having a thin layer between you two as you guys hug." The brand manager had a great eye for products that ideally fits the customers that she recommends products for.

From the looks of this piece, Nana could see herself wearing it and looking as innocent as an angel. She could feel Zhen Qi's breath to her ears, telling her that she is beautiful. With another vivid image, she covered her face with both hands to hide her embarrassment. 

"Look how hooked she got. Heh, now we have another one dragged by us into these lingerie stuffs." Ya Nuo whispered to Wei Na secretly. Wei Na nodded and whispered, "Yep. By the way, have you tried that black piece yet? The one you were very excited to try."

"Ah! That one! Yep. I loved it and so did Hei. It didn't even take me a minute to grab his attention that night. He brought his work home and cut off our alone time, so I accepted the challenge. Hehehe. By the way, that light pink piece right there suits you fairly well too. Maybe you could consider it for your next intimate time~" 

They elbowed each other back and forth as their minds already forgot why these outfits were in the house to begin with. When Nana was done, she took at least half of what was brought to the house. Meanwhile, Ya Nuo and Wei Na also bought around thirty outfits each. During checkout, the trio sighed, 'Oh wells, the guys owe us big time.'

Soon after the brand manager left with the unwanted outfits, the guys came over to pick up their girlfriends. When Wei Na and Nana left, they had a huge grin on their faces. Nana was eager to try on the outfits that she bought, especially the first black laced one. For some reason, she imagined herself playing the role of a naughty student who wanted a lesson from her teacher. Of course, that teacher is Zhen Qi. 

Seeing her rare smile, Zhen Qi attempted to peek on what she had bought, but she took the bags from his reach and stuffed it in the trunk. Before Nana left, Ya Nuo and Wei Na gave her the victory sign and she raised three fingers in response. "I got this," Nana mouthed to her two lovely sisters who taught her some personal moves that she was looking forward to trying tonight.

'Heh, let's see how well you can resist me tonight.'

The warmth of the sunlight that was shining through the window landed on the girl's flawless face. Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly as her hands clenched onto her blanket tightly. She chanted, "No! No! Don't.. please.. I beg you stop! Ahh!!" She gasped for breath as she wiped the layer of cold sweat off her forehead. She looked at her phone and laid in bed after realizing that she was in her apartment. 'I'm safe.. it's alright.. safe..' After calming down, she took a quick shower and looked into the mirror. "Yang Ya Nuo! you got this! New day, new beginning!" She got dressed in a male school uniform and applied her makeup and wig. Within the next 15 minutes, her beautiful jade like face transformed into a handsome young man's face. "Aha! That should do it! Handsome like always. Breakfast time~" 
Since young, Ya Nuo learned how to change her voice to sound like a male's voice in case she needed it one day. Unlike girls at her age who liked to hang out with friends and go shopping, she only loves one thing, food! She works three part time jobs and is attending a famous school on a scholarship that covers full tuition. 
She cheerfully walked to the kitchen to see what's there to make for breakfast. When she opened the fridge, she saw nothing, but a piece of sausage inside. Sigh.. "I paid for rent and ran out of money to restock for grocery."
Ding Dong
"Who is it?" she said in a grumpy tone.
"Yo!" Xu Huan Hei greeted her with a hand wave.
"Is it time already? There's still half an hour before the usual time you come to get me for school." 
"Nope! But I do have something I want to discuss with you." he smiled dazzlingly. He was the school's second most popular guy that every female wished to date. The number one ranked male student was Ya Nuo. These two met each other at a young age, but due to some reason Huan Hei never found out about her female gender. 
"I'm hungry. Let's talk food first."
"Here~ i already prepared a bag of groceries and two bacon, egg, and sausage for you" he winked.
Ya Nuo smirked, "Oh? Seems like it's something important hmm? Alright, let me enjoy my breakfast as we discuss your 'favor.'"
In the middle of enjoying her bacon, egg, and sausage, she suddenly spit out the mouthful of food onto Huan Hei. 
"will you be my girlfriend?" he asked confidently.
"Are you crazy?? I'm a guy! 100% male!"
"But you are so pretty, even girls say you have feminine features. I'm sure with a little makeup you'll look very cute!"
"... what's your reason?"
"A girl keeps pestering me and chasing after me to get into a relationship with her. I told her for the past two years that I'm not interested in any relationships, but she refused to listen. I accidentally slipped out and said I actually have a girlfriend... so she asked to meet her.. and I didn't have anyone that is trustworthy enough for this job."
"No."
"Pretty please"
"No!"
"Come on~ I'll buy you lunch~"
"I'm not that cheap."
"Fine, 3 months worth of lunch and groceries!"
"Deal."
In the meantime, at a luxurious restaurant, a man with gray hair sipped his wine, "Did you guys find her yet?"
"No.. sir"
"Then why are you here? Go! Find her and bring her here! Don't come back and report bullshit to me!"
"Yes!"

72 Seedmonth 1013 AF 

My father has been summoned by the High Lords. They already began moving. Chess pieces of Palais.
The decree has order us to exile ourselves from the dukedom under the charge of treason towards the Dukedom, and harboring intention to become King.
The high lords had come for Aries Vermont and his family and summon Aries. The Chess pieces of Henry Palais has made their move
They had been ordered to exile themselves from the Dukedom under the charges of treason and harboring intentions to become king.
Henry Palais had braced himself for retaliation but to his surprise the Vermont's put up no fight. The Vermont's did not hire sellsword or incited riots.
Instead Aries Vermont captivated the commonfolk on the day he was exiled from his domain.
It's not the sight of Henry army marching to Aries land that held the commonfolk in awe it was Count Aries humility that makes them in awe.
He did not fight the punishment and the accusation, he did not go out of his resident with yelling and screaming and he did not curse the family that came to supplant his reign
The people of Danoba watched the lords descend on the city, and saw their friend leave with dignity and humility. As he went he spoke to them and to the lords.
"Everything I do, I do for love of this Dukedom. If I am unworthy and my intentions seem dishonorable then I will leave."
The people of the new county of Acro and the city of Danoba love their ruler for Aries is kind and just, a jolly person and an unselfish person. 
His wife, the Countess is gentle, warm hearted and care about the people and always thinking about the people of the County.
His son Arial is also famous in the Dukedom, solving many quests that helps many cities and villages with his Order of Knight.
To those who met Aries son he is described as active, charming and brave, talented in leading his Knights to battle, and clever.
The Vermont's were loved in Danoba, and when news spread of their exile, the people were quick to protest. 
Henry vassal took the Vermont banner from the wall when they arrived and occupied the city
The banner was stripped from the castle and burn in the field by Palais troops
It was a blatant disrespect
Aries had urged the people to follow his calm, dignified example, but when the family's banner was stripped from the city walls, the lords were lucky that there were no riots in the streets.
With dozens of caravans full of their possessions and their gold, Aries and his family left the Dukedom and headed to Seren, to seek help and asylum from his old friend Will Eren, from the House of Eren. 
Arial knew his daughter Lila from the Academy, a Purple Faery who had once joined him on a quest.
Their family ride and rest in the city and rest for a while in Castle Villion belonging to the House of Villion where they are treated courteously and then continue our journey 
When they arrived in Seren Arial looked around in awe; on his previous visits he hadn't had time to see the beautiful sights of the city. 
They passed the Fire God Temple, with a flame that was said would never be extinguished. Every day, the faithful would guard the fire and make sure it is not extinguished.
They crossed the Many Hills and then they passed through Liana River and stopped in the town of Lelia to see Sharp Mountain, it was said to be man-made with golden bricks and as tall as a mountain. 
It is different design from the design in the Dukedom. That is one thing he recognize when he sees their architecture.
Finally, they arrived at Fierce Stone, the castle of the House of Eren. As servants hurried to store their belongings, Aries greeted Will Eren.
The man was clearly disheartened at the fate of the Vermont's family.
"What bad luck you have, my friend," said Will, shaking Aries's hand and patting his shoulder.
"I'm afraid that's life," Aries sighed.
"Honor to meet you Duke of Athere" my mother said bowing slightly
"No, no the pleasure is mine" he said.
They were shown to their rooms by servants, and Arial sit down and he quickly pulled paper and a pen from his bag and began to write. His plan was in motion.

Next morning Belle Mere, Nojiko and Nami, come to their field to harvest all the ripe fruit to deliver it to Xin.

Even though they did not see if Xin had already finished his stall, they can store the fruit they harvest in their storage room for fruit.

Meanwhile, Xin and the girls pick a suitable place to build their own stall, not only the stall Xin plan is to make a stall on the first floor and living space in the second.

Early in the morning Xin, Koala and Chaos fo to the storage room of Belle Mere to take all the lumber that is available there.

When he was about to greet them, he noticed that they were not there. He thought maybe that they were all in the field harvesting the fruits.

After getting the lumber, Xin stores it in his inventory and walks to their designated place that they choose.

The place that Xin chooses is the intersection of the Village but still part of Bella Mere land.

Xin and the girls start to make the stall and their living place, while Xin is the one who makes the whole house.

The girls are busy designing what needs to add and what should not,

Xin first makes the first floor, he makes space for four to six tables for that customer that wants to dine in. An open bar where the customer can choose what they want to but and the counter where they pay what they want.

Xin design the first floor as an open type for any customer who wants to enter, the kitchen is made like the modern one, a big table for baking and cooking their product if needed and a separate office for them.

After that Xin made a simple design for the second floor, he just made rooms for each of the girls.

He designed the room as standard size but it is still spacious and bright, every room has a window. He made a comfort room at the end of the corridor while a small dining and living room near the open veranda.

After that, he uses colorful glass on each window and plain glass at the shelf area where the customer will pick what they want.

Seeing that the store and their living space is done, Xin started buying daily amenities and home appliances.

He buys a large refrigerator, stove, baking oven and all the things that need in baking. After all, Xin already decides what kind of shop he is going to open.

Then he makes chairs and tables for the guest area. A large bench outside and two large colorful umbrellas.

Xin makes beds, pillows and all necessary items for each room, while he asks the girls what they want to add in their room.

He almost wastes too much time from the little girls request only, while Stella, Melan, and Harpie are busy in the kitchen checking what needs to be added and the ingredients need to be stored.

...….

Meanwhile Belle Mere and the two girls come home tired, they almost harvest half of the ripe tangerine from their field.

Stack of the box is already waiting outside to be delivered in Xin's place but the thing is they don't know where Xin built his stall.

Bella Mere asks," hey Nojiko, Nami is any one of you know where that kid built his stall?"

Nojiko and Nami shook their heads indicating that they don't even know it.

Nami suddenly said," Let me check where he built his stall after all the said that it's within our land and near the roadside right?"

Nojiko nod," Let me come with Nami too"

Bella Mere said," Okey, check it where that kid build his stall and see what kind of business eh want to make"

Nami and Nojiko nod and hurry ran outside. Leaving Belle Mere in their house resting.

The two girls walk in the road hoping to find Xin's stall. If he is really telling the truth they can find Xin's stall not far away from their field.

Just like what they hoped for, they see a house not far away from their house, but the thing is it was not a small stall, it was actually a large house.

The two girls look at each other and run to check who made that house. They remember that there's no house in that place when they last pass there.

When they come in front of the house, they notice it was actually an open bar type restaurant.

The items inside are new and neatly arrange while the whole store is clear and clean. They did not even see any mark of people who made the store.

Not only that, the whole store looks elegant and cozy.

Nojiko and Nami come inside to see the owner and notice two girls in the counter wiping glasses.

One is a little girl with long black hair wearing a floral dress and the other is a girl not much older than the other girl with short brown hair.

The two of them are busy chatting with each other while wiping the glasses on the counter.

Nami walks at them and asks," Umm .. can I ask something?"

The black-haired girl nodded," Sure, what is it, sister?"

Nami asked," when did this store build here?"

"Brother build it this morning" The black-haired girl answered.

Nami and Nojiko were shocked, who could build an elegant looking store with just a couple of hours.

Nojiko walk closer to ask," Umm-"

The black-haired girl suddenly said." You can call me Chaos and this is Koala" she points to the short-haired girl beside her.

Nojiko nodded and said," I'm Nojiko and this is my sister Nami, we are here to find the owner of this store?"

Chaos nod and said," Okey wait here  and I will call brother"

Chaos ran to the second floor to call Xin, while Nam and Nojiko sat in a vacant chair to wait for Xin.

Few minutes later Nami and Nojiko heard a teasing voice coming from the counter.

"Oh ~ Orange cat it's early and you already here ~"

When Nojiko and Nami turn around they see Xin's happy go lucky face smiling at them.

"Since you have made up your mind, let's get into the studio." The tattoo artist said. "Girl, don't be scared. Your tattoo will be on your earlobe, and the tattoo is small. So, it will not hurt, don't worry."
Mu Qiqi held Sheng Xiao's hand, her hand was sweating.
Sheng Xiao patted her head with another hand. He said softly, "I am here, what are you afraid of?"
"I am just nervous…" Mu Qiqi answered. "I am very nervous." But, at the same time, she was very excited because once the tattoos were done, there would be an unbreakable bond between her and Sheng Xiao. She felt a strong sense of belonging in her heart.
She belonged to Sheng Xiao, and Sheng Xiao belonged to her alone. A personal belonging that was tagged with her name.
When they entered the studio, the tattoo artist told them, "Please be seated. When you have your names tattooed on your lovers' body, it is just like exchanging rings. You will own each other. Doesn't that feel very sweet?"
Under the dim light, Mu Qiqi glanced at Sheng Xiao secretly. Would Xiaoxiao have this kind of feeling? Was he happy?
The tattoo artist finished drawing the design in a short period based on the design given by Sheng Xiao. Then, she drew the design on Mu Qiqi's earlobe. Since they were just beautiful cursive letters, other people would not be able to guess the meaning of the tattoo. Also, it was very conveniently designed for Mu Qiqi as she could cover the tattoo with a big earring if she did not want people to see it.
However, Mu Qiqi had not thought of covering the tattoo once it was tattooed on her.
Because other people would not know it was Sheng Xiao's name. But she knew it clearly!
The tattoo artist sterilized the needles in front of them. To a tattoo artist, a small tattoo like this was just a small matter that would not take more than ten minutes to finish.
Mu Qiqi was scared to put her attention on her earlobe. So, she looked at Sheng Xiao during the whole process. In a short while, beautiful letters were already imprinted on her earlobe.
The small letters arranged neatly along the side of her earlobe were very beautiful…
"Now, you have another obvious mark that Mu Tangxue would never be able to imitate!"
She needed not to worry about people being unable to tell them apart again.
It seemed that Sheng Xiao took her words about her dream to heart.
Of course, he would have never mistaken Mu Qiqi for someone else. Mu Qiqi knew the reasons perfectly well. A person's scent and the way he breathed could not be imitated. Besides, Mu Qiqi and Mu Tangxue were very different in many ways. People could not distinguish between them just because they always thought that twins should be the same. Sheng Xiao wanted Mu Qiqi to feel at ease. That was why he brought her to get a tattoo.
After that, Sheng Xiao unbuttoned his shirt and lay lazily on the chair.　　
The tattoo artist was awed by this man. A man like Sheng Xiao should be able to get any kind of woman he wanted with the least effort.
But, his taste seemed a bit inclined towards…
Young people.
"Mister, your tattoo just under the collarbone would look nicer if I make it bigger."
"It does not hurt at all." Mu Qiqi told Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao looked at her earlobe. He was over satisfied with it until he had the urge to kiss it. But he knew it was inappropriate to do it here. So, he closed his eyes and let the tattoo artist get his tattoo of Mu Qiqi's name done.
"Men are generally afraid of dominance, especially someone with high standards like your boyfriend. I can see that he really cares about you." The tattoo artist whispered in Mu Qiqi's ear. "Treasure him, I wish you happiness."
Mu Qiqi was red-faced, but she was holding Sheng Xiao's warm hand during the whole time.
Although they were very careful in keeping their relationship a secret, it did not feel like a deadly crime when it was known by other people by coincidence.
Ten minutes later, a name was imprinted on Sheng Xiao's body. To Mu Qiqi, maybe it was just her name that was tattooed on his body. But to Sheng Xiao, Mu Qiqi's name was already engraved in his heart, and his bones.
After the tattoos were done, Sheng Xiao reminded the tattoo artist to keep their information confidential. Only then, he left the serene courtyard with Mu Qiqi, ready to get back to their villa.
But, when they were in an area with no people, Sheng Xiao stopped the car.
"What's wrong? Xiaoxiao?"
Sheng Xiao embraced Mu Qiqi, and licked her earlobe.
Mu Qiqi was electrified. Her whole body felt numb.
"You are so sensitive." Sheng Xiao smiled playfully. He let go of Mu Qiqi and continued driving.
Mu Qiqi was flushed. She could not help but scold him, "You are so naughty. You always make fun of me."
"You don't like it?" Sheng Xiao asked.
"Of course I like it. This is the unique way you act only when you are with me."
After leaving the Mu family, Mu Qiqi had been very unfortunate to have almost no one by her side, except her aunt. But she felt very lucky for leaving the Mu family because she would not have saved Sheng Xiao and become his lover if it had never happened.
If Mu Qiqi were given another chance to start over her life again, she would still be willing to endure all the pain to meet Sheng Xiao.
Wasn't she very lucky to have the person she loved to love her back?
When they reached the villa, Sheng Xiao said, "The tattoo…"
"I know how to explain this to my aunt." Mu Qiqi replied.
"Good!"
A whole new Mu Qiqi bravely walked into the house. When she saw Su Zipei with a surprised look, she smiled confidently. "Aunt, I'm home."
Su Zipei looked at Mu Qiqi in awe. She was surprised to see her becoming so pretty. "Qiqi has really grown into a beautiful lady!"
"Do I look good?"
"Of course! But what's on your earlobe…"
"It is a tattoo, aunt. I had a dream not long ago. I dreamt that Mu Tangxue used my identity to break the law. Then the police came and caught me instead. I was really sad but no one could tell us apart. So, when I told Sheng Xiao about this, he got this done for me. He said that we will look different when I have this."
"You are exaggerating things. You may look similar to Mu Tangxue, but your figures and personalities are totally different."
"And what is the meaning of the letters?" Su Zipei was guessing the meaning of the letters.
"It means nothing. The tattoo artist let me choose the design so I randomly picked this design because it looked nice. I don't know the meaning of it either." Mu Qiqi answered.
Su Zipei nodded in agreement. "This is fine. But will it bring trouble to you at school?"
"I will let my hair down in school then nobody will see it. By the way, I am graduating soon, it wouldn't be a bother." Mu Qiqi explained.
"Alright then." Su Zipei did not say anything more. She was satisfied with Mu Qiqi's look.
"You are better than Mu Tangxue in all ways, Qiqi. Be brave to unleash your real self. We are not afraid of anything."


Born as twins, but Mu Qiqi was left suffering every torment and became the greatest scapegoat in history only because she was not a better actress than her sister!
That was when she had a nasty thought on how she would escape her family: she would marry the archnemesis of her own parents. She just never imagined that it would come true! 
However, she soon grew addicted to being the enemy’s wife: after the hardship of being  the daughter of her parents, for her naughty husband was giving her strength and aided her revenge.
Life does not get any better!
***
“Doesn’t payback feel awesome?”
“It does!”
“Well, I can make you feel even better!"


Gu Xijiu rolled out from his arms like a cat. He did not react but just looked at her.
It was apparent that Di Fuyi took excellent care of her. All her wounds had been carefully bandaged. At first glance, she knew that Di Fuyi did it.
Gu Xijiu felt very guilty! Unusually guilty, in fact! She looked up at Di Fuyi's unmasked face and rubbed her eyebrows thoroughly. What should she do now? She clearly promised him that she would never use the Control Spell on him, but she had done it again!
Before she was in a coma, she actually took control of him and gave him a command, "Take care of me until I wake up."
She sensed her body and realized that her spiritual power was almost completely exhausted. She wanted to stand up, but her legs and feet did not have the slightest strength. She was already sweating profusely, just trying to get up. At this rate, she would never be able to make it out of the glacier. 
She did not expect to be so weakened by the thunderbolts. Fortunately, Di Fuyi was here, or else she would have been turned into an ice sculpture right at the glacier. Perhaps, he was her lucky star, after all. 
Gu Xijiu felt very grateful to Di Fuyi. She could not help but look at him gratefully. He sized her up to check on her condition but did not say anything. 
Meanwhile, Gu Xijiu rubbed her eyebrows again. Just before she passed out, she used the most potent spell that she knew to control Di Fuyi.
By right, the man should be able to think clearly, but he acted as though he was merely following a fixed set of instructions. He must have hated her now and probably wanted to shoot her straight in the heart! The man was her lucky star, but she treated him so poorly. 
Gu Xijiu felt sorry for him. However, she could not do anything to free him from the spell because it would require a certain amount of spiritual power that she did not currently possess. Moreover, she was afraid that once she removed the spell, he would take revenge on her or simply leave her here to die. No matter which one she took, the outcome was the same.
"Di... Di Fuyi, I am sorry, I am... This was the last resort. After I recover, I will compensate you. I have a lot of precious treasures. As long as I have something you want, I will give it to you. Whatever you want."
Di Fuyi still did not say anything, but his lips were slightly curved upward. The look on his face simultaneously portrayed ridicule and irony, but Gu Xijiu pretended as though she did not see it. This time, she had to be thick-faced to survive.
Her stomach was rumbling a little as she was hungry. She stroked her stomach gently and sighed.
Once her spiritual power was lost, her body was no different from an ordinary human's, so she would naturally feel hungry. She knew that there were several kinds of snow beasts in this glacier, but they were very fierce and challenging to catch.
In the past, hunting for beasts was not a challenge for her. But now… She sighed softly and murmured to him, "Fuyi, are you hungry? Can you hunt a hare for me?"
Di Fuyi did not say anything and left the premises abruptly. 
Gu Xijiu looked around the house and found that Di Fuyi maintained it well. Although it was only a temporary residence, the things inside were not simple at all. The ice walls were as clean as a mirror, and there were still paintings hung on the walls. There were paintings of mountains, rivers, as well as clouds. When the different images were placed together, it gave the illusion of being surrounded by green mountains and blue rivers.
The floor in the ice house was covered with a white rug which she was sitting on at the moment. Although Gu Xijiu was the creator of the universe, she was not obsessed with interior design or the maintenance of any sort of property. As long as the house was clean and neat, she had no other preference.


In a modern world, a professional assassin was murdered by her beloved and found herself revived in an ancient world as a general's daughter with a weak physique. She was engaged to a prince, but because she did not have a nice appearance, her fiancé and sister attempted to kill her. Although she had to struggle to survive, there were also those who unconditionally loves her that supported her in her time of need. 

How does she intend to adapt and survive in such a foreign and hostile world? Follow Gu Xijiu on her journey to discover her one true love!

One day later...  (After The Dark Sword)

"N-no thanks, Mrs. Beaver. We're fine sitting in this place. When is Rocket coming?"

"Approximately in thirty seconds I guess. He's kind of lazy eating his breakfast."

Bella the Beaver then goes to the kitchen and clean some dishes. 

"Wow, Rocket's mom is very cute and hot at the same time." Ash as he also blushes seeing her face

Glitch then slaps Ash's head because of his own stupidity. They all are trying to wait for Rocket by looking at the second floor window because something is shaking there. Rocket goes outside and he sees the three of them. 

"Oh, hi, guys. I assume all of you guys are waiting for me. Right, I'm going to get my shirts. Be right back, guys."

"Wow, he didn't wear shirts when he's asleep. Boys really are sometimes weird." Glitch being disgusted on Rocket

"This is the first time you saw that, Glitch? Well, you can get used to it after hundreds of times." 

Rocket finishes off putting his clothes and they all ready to go. In the middle of their conversation, they tried to think what fun place they should go to. May then tries to think and she got a great idea. 

"Hey, guys, how about we go to the beach again?" May getting excited 

"Well, that's lame. We already did that two days ago. Now we gotta think of something really fun."

"If you think about it on day one, we all about to have fun in the beach. But it ended up with Rocket and Slick on a race challenge. We didn't even get to swim."

"May has a point, Rocket. Maybe we should try to REALLY experience the beach now. Since I don't really like to go there alone."

"Alrighty, beach it is again."

After arriving at the beach, they finally have fun there. They're swimming, playing beach balls, and basically buying ice creams. Thirty minutes later, they all went home. Glitch is going home, May is staying outside to buy some Pancakes, Rocket and Ash are going to have fun again at his house (Ash). 

"Okay then, see you soon, Glitch, see you soon, May." Rocket waving at Glitch and May

"Rocket, how about we watch some cool movies like that new movie that just came out this year, Sonic the Hedgehog. Last year, Sonic's design is disgusting. This year, his character design have been fixed and it's awesome."

"Whatever you say, Ash. I'm just going to read some of your manga along the way. I bet it's got lots of cool stuff there."

Rocket and Ash are now going towards Ash's house. There are no more enemies watching over them and they are going to have one peaceful day. 

Meanwhile...

May has been waiting for Pancakes a lot of time and she tried to walk around the island. She then saw a house with a Pancake Van in front of the house. May then approaches the Van and she smells something weird. 

"W-what is that smell?" The smell keeps appearing on May's nose

She gets closer to the van and saw a dead man inside the van. May then fell to the ground and she tries to get away from the Van. She stand up and runs away from the Van.

"A-a dead b-body?! I've never seen people die in real life. This is the first time I saw people die! Or is that just an imagination?! I better go and call the cops."

May tries to run as fast as she could but Blood teleports in front of her. She then crashes Blood because she didn't realize that he teleported in front of her.. 

"I can sense that you are afraid, little girl. But don't worry, you will feel no more when I took your soul."

"HEEEELLPPP!!!" May calling anyone to help her as she starts to drop a tear

"There are no people that will save you from now on. Now, die!"

Blood stabs May's body with his own hands. Rocket and Ash have entered his house but at the Window, Ash sees May and someone. Ash then sees closely and he knew what happened there. 

"Rocket, I think May is in trouble! We gotta go now!!"

Rocket then just follows Ash. After that, Blood  takes May's heart and she is now dying. 

"You will approximately die in ten seconds because of the golden heart of yours. This is very rare. I'm lucky that I found you, Golden Heart girl."
