An ill-timed storm on christmas eve buries the residents of Olivetown under multiple feet of snow and causes quite a bit of chaos. 

One brave soul ventures out into the storm from her stranded train and sets off a chain of events that will change quite a few lives. 


Over the next three days one girl takes a risky shortcut with an adorable stranger, three friends set out to win a race to the Waffle House (and the hash brown spoils), and the fate of a teacup pig falls into the hands of a lovesick barista.

His mum Huang Ting family is from a provincial capital, not a commoner house, but a rich and powerful one.

The Huang Family, some dabble in politics, others in businesses, their influence spread across the entire provincial capital, it could be said that their power are astonishing.

But no matter how well to do the Huangs are, they never help Huang Ting and Lin Xiu these unfortunate mother and son, when Lin Xiu was seriously ill, Huang Ting had no choice but to bring Lin Xiu back to her mother's house to borrow money, not only did she not get a loan, she was scorned and even being scolded.

Until now Lin Xiu couldn't forget those arrogant faces, the scene where her mother was being insulted and forced to smile while trying to borrow money to cure him.

The reason is because Lin Xiu's father have never appeared once before, even when Lin Xiu asked his mum a few times, she never told him anything, in the eyes of the Huang family, Lin Xiu is a bastard child, how can he be worthy of the prominent Huang family.

"Lin Xiu big brother, what happened to you? If, if you don't want to go, it's alright, I'll go by myself." seeing that Lin Xiu haven't said a word, Ni Xiao Tong thought that Lin Xiu was unwilling to go, so she said in disappointment.

Lin Xiu took a deep breath, suppressed his resentment against the Huang family, "No, I was just thinking about some other things, isn't it just going to university, I will accompany you."

"Oh yeah! I knew it Lin Xiu big brother is the best, Good night! I am going to sleep now. I will invite you to go play with me tomorrow." Ni Xiao Tong cried out excitedly on the phone.

Since the purpose of making this call tonight was achieved, there wasn't a reason not to be excited.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiu closed his eyes, in the surrounding green aura orbs began drifting around him, gathering onto Lin Xiu's body, as he begins his daily cultivation.

In the villa district, Zhang Fu Qiang was crossing his leg on the sofa while drinking tea, sitting across from him was a man in green robe.

This person is in his thirties, carry a sword on his back

"Taoist leader Wang, I am so sorry to bother you." Zhang Fu Qiang smiles as he said.

This person who's known as Taoist leader Wang name is Wang Yun, while facing Zhang Fu Qiang he didn't act arrogantly, he held his fist together and said, "Boss Zhang is Zhang's nephew who is doing the work for him, not an outsider, there is no need to be so polite." 

"Hehe, drink some tea!" Zhang Fu Qiang smiled and said."

It was at this moment, there were some movement outside the villa, Old ghost was holding his only hand left onto the place where his core was, as he walked painfully in.

"Old ghost what's the situation?" Zhang Fu Qiang looked at old ghost and asked.

Old ghost bit his teeth and said, "Boss Zhang, Liu Zhihui have a pro who is helping him, that person crippled my cultivation, broke my left hand, my future life have to depend on you."

"Crippled your cultivation? Even broke your hand, then you're useless." Zhang Fu Qiang shook his head, "such a pity."

Wang Yu who was sitting opposite of Zhang Fu Qiang pulled out he's sword as the teacup dropped to the ground.

"Evil Cultivator from where, how dare you enter this house!"

Old ghost had an inconceivable expression on his face, "You guys…."

Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Yun sword had stabbed his throat.

"The way of the demons, death is too good for you."said Wang Yun as he look at old ghost with disgust.

Zhang Fu Qiang happily face Wang Yun and said, "Thank you for the trouble Taoist leader Wang."

While saying, he took a thick sum of money and placed it on his hands.

Wang Yun deliberately decline for a second before accepting it.

"Since Boss Zhang is in a difficult situation, then I Wang Yun cannot be disrespectful."

"Taoist Leader Wang, I still need a small help from you." Zhang Fu Qiang said as he squints his eyes, " it's regarding Liu Zhihui's expert."

"Oh? What is that person's cultivator level?"Wang Yun considered for a moment before asking.

Zhang Fu Qiang said, "Taoist leader Wang, that person shouldn't have a high cultivation level, if it was a powerful person, how could he have helped Liu Zhihui do things."

Wang Yun nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhang Fu Qiang's logic, if it's a powerful practitioner, they would be less likely intervene with the worldly matters, if it wasn't for Zhang Fu Qiang's uncle, Wang Yun would never help Zhang Fu Qiang clear his troubles.

"If his cultivation is low, just get rid of him would be best, if his cultivation is a bit higher than you, all you need to do is to let him not interfere with the interactions between me and Liu Zhihui, since you are from the Taoist alliance, he would still give face to you." Zhang Fu Qiang continued to say.

Only then Taoist Leader Wang began to open his mouth, "If it's like that, I will obliged. Go find out who he is."

"Rest assure, I have my methods to find out about him, after this thing is done, I'll prepare another thank you." Zhang Fu Qiang said happily, at the same time in his heart: Liu Zhihui, I want to see what you can take out to fight against me.

Early next morning, in one of the suites of Haitian Pavilion hotel, a little demon sneaked in while Lin Xiu was still in dreamland.

"Lazy Pig, Wake up!" Ni Xiao Tong yelled as she yanked away Lin Xiu's Quilt.

After pulling the quilt away there was a silence of 3 seconds.

"AHH! Why do you sleep naked!"

A shout louder than before came out from Ni Xiao Tong as she ran out.

Only leaving a very confused Lin Xiu who had been lifted open.

How did this crazy girl came in.

Black Lines were all over Lin Xiu's forehead.

Two minutes later, Lin Xiu walked out of the bedroom clothed, Ni Xiao Tong was totally red as she sat on the sofa in the suite's living room.

"HAHA!" Lin Xiu laughed out loud as he saw Ni Xiao Tong's awkward expression.

"What's so funny, who ask you not to wear any clothes." Ni Xiao Tong replied with difficulty.

"You crazy girl, if you continue on like this, I confirm you won't get married." Lin Xiu smile as he scolded her.

"If I can't get married I'll rely on you forever!" Ni Xiao Tong had a serious look as she replied with a grin.  

Lin Xiu lightly flicked Ni Xiao Tong on the head, "Stop saying stupid things, how come you came so early today?"

"Didn't I said I will bring you out to play, of course I needed  to be early." Ni Xiao Tong rubbed her head as she said.

"Go where to play?" Lin Xiu stunt for a second before recalling Ni Xiao Tong did mentioned it during last night's call, but he was thinking of others stuff in his mind and wasn't paying attention.

"Just follow me."Ni Xiao Tong grab Liu Xiu's hand and ran out.

As they ran out, they just happened to encounter Liu Zhihui walking out next door, it seems like after yesterday's night incident Liu Zhihui didn't dare to bring Xiao Cong home, worrying something else would happen, thus he stayed in the room next to Liu Xiu.

"Hey, Brother Lin, where are you two going?" Liu Zhihui asked, "Want me to give you guys a lift?"

"No need!" Ni Xiao Tong wave her hands as they continued on.

"Dad, you are really dumb, Lin Xiu big brother and his girlfriend must be going on a date, why do you want to be the lamp post!" the 5-6 year old Xiao Cong said from behind him.

When Liu Zhihui heard his son explanation, he couldn't help but glance at him and pretended to be angry, "You are a child with plenty of mischievous ideas!"

Miracle doctor Lin Xiu has returned from Peerless island. With his immense medical knowledge to save people. Watch as Lin Xiu solve problems for the everyday life, and the supernatural.

"Yaoyao…" Li Meiling and Xu Junxi rushed forward and surrounded Ning Yao. Xu Junxi held Ning Yao's injured hand on his palm and asked softly, "Yaoyao, where… did it…"
Before he managed to ask "did it hurt", there was another splash of warm water along with some tea leaves doused on Ning Yao's face.
Everyone at the scene was shocked at the unexpected turn of event.
There was a servant that looked at Ning Yao. They heard Ning Yao scream as though she was afraid that it might ruin her face. The delicate makeup on her face smudged and the way she looked with tea leaves on her face was funny.
There was also a servant who covered her mouth and laughed in silence.
"Ning Qing, you!" No matter how strong one's will power was, she wouldn't be able to keep calm when her daughter was splashed with a cup of tea. Li Meiling stared at her as she spoke with her teeth clenched.
"Aunt Lee, what did I do? You're so fierce, I'm so scared." Ning Qing took one step forward and looked at Li Meiling with her squinted beautiful eyes innocently. She was sending her message straightforwardly, Li Meiling, there are so many outsiders here. Pick up your mask and take care of your image.
Li Meiling nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. She never thought she would lose against a young girl after being around this long.
However, experience counts. She quickly shed a few teardrops and cried, "Qingqing, why do you have to treat Yaoyao like that? Come to me if you are unhappy with us!"
Her voice successfully attracted Ning Zhenguo from the study room. Ning Zhenguo ran down the stairs and saw the scene, he immediately reprimanded, "Ning Qing, what kind of mess are you making? Who let you bully Aunt Li and Yaoyao?"
Ning Qing lost hope in her father long ago. The more cold and detached she was, the happier her smile seemed, "Dad, Aunt Li told Yaoyao to apologize to me and said that it's all Yaoyao's fault. I thought if Yaoyao is at fault, as a sister, I definitely have to teach her a lesson for her to turn over a new leaf."
Ning Zhenguo was at loss for words when he heard Ning Qing's explanation. His body stiffened and he looked at Li Meiling then Ning Yao. He could only let out a heavy sigh in the end.
Ning Qing turned around happily and looked at Li Meiling again. "Aunt Li, what era are you living in? Why are you still playing those tricks under the table? Speaking of acting, Aunt Li seemed to have forgotten that I'm from the Beijing Film Academy, I understand the industry too."
Then, Ning Qing passed the teacup before Li Meiling and smiled, "Alright, as I make everyone unhappy here, I shall leave. This teacup… Aunt Li please take it back."
Li Meiling was so pissed off that she wished she could just throw a few slaps at Ning Qing's face. However, she wouldn't do something so irrational. It was her mistake that she let her guard down with Ning Qing.
Whatever Ning Qing did that day, she guaranteed that she would take revenge within a week.
Li Meiling wiped her tears as she suppressed the anger in her heart. She extended her hand to take over the teacup Ning Qing raised in the air.
She lowered her head.
But "Pak!" Ning Qing let go of her hand and the teacup shattered into pieces on the ground.
"Ning Qing!" There were two low bellows. One was Ning Zhenguo while the other one was Xu Junxi. Ning Qing smirked as she walked out of the house without turning back.
The moment Ning Qing left, "Husband, woo…" Li Meiling cried in Ning Zhenguo's arms.
"Junxi, sister, she…" Ning Yao's face was pale and her body trembled.


Trying to drown her sorrow with alcohol after her boyfriend hooked up with her sister, Ning Qing ran into the rich and powerful Lu Shaoming in a bar. "I need a wife," Lu said, and the two got their marriage license. 

Soon, she who became a pop star won many pretty boys’ hearts. Singlehandedly, he got rid of all her potential flings and acted innocent. Ning Qing bristled, “Lu Shaoming, what happened to staying out of each other's private life which we talked about?” Turning the light out, he came over her and whispered, "Now our priority is to make a baby."


A few minutes later the maids come with three layers bamboo box, the steam ooze from the box creating white smokes, the maid put down the bamboo box carefully on the table while the other maids clean up the table from dirty plates than other maid brews white tea on the corner of the room elegantly, after she finishes she pours the tea and served it to the guest than she bows her head courteously and leave the room, not once the maids dare to glance at Zhao Li Xin, Lory than convince this place is another Hei Shen turf, only people who works with Zhao Li Xin who never take his temperament lightly.

"Its smelled so good, no wonder Xue An begging us to bought it for her" Ming Yue Yin inhaled the savory fragrant from the dumpling on the box than she eagerly takes one dumpling for Lory than take another one for herself just like a good niece should be. 

The dumpling does like a flower, it has colorful colors from pink, yellow to blue, the shape like flower buds is almost a pity for her to eat it but when she tasted it she doesn't feel pity anymore, they tasted even better then it looks.

"Oh my god, its so good" Lory open and closed her eyes in utter delight.

"We must buy this for Xue An" Ming Yue Yin have the same expression as Lory.

"Li Xin can you send the dumpling now to Xue An, I want her to enjoy this tonight, this is too delicious to wait for tomorrow" Lory pleaded while her mouth still munches her food, so unladylike but she can't help it, the dish is too good. The dumpling is sweet and salty its very soft and tender it melts in you're mouth.

Zhao Li Xin happy Lory enjoyed the food very much, he orders more dumpling for Lory because Ming Yue Yin already hogging the second layer for herself, Yuan Shao Chuckles watching Ming Yue Yin hogging one layer bamboo box without concern with other people her expression is on utter blissed whenever she chop on the dumpling, he never knew a ruler can be satisfied this easily. 

Ming Yue Yin face suddenly becomes sullen when she realizes her box empty, she wants to take another box in front of Lory but Zhao Li Xin glared at her, she retracted her hand than pursed her lips dejectedly.

Yuan Shao can't hold his laughter than he put the untouched dumpling from his plated to Ming Yue Ying plate, she was stunned, she looks at Yuan Shao in surprise.

"Just eat, I wait for another box to come," he said with soft laugh.

He's soft voice suddenly make her heart thump, she averts her gaze than look down while chomp her food, Yua Shao don't want to bother her so he missed the faint red cheeks on Ming Yue Yin cheeks but Lory saw it clearly she giggles than she continue eating without as if she saw nothing.

In a flash, Lory and Ming Yue Yin finish three bamboo boxes, Zhao Li Xin and yuan Shao only eat a few there more interested in watching the two ladies eating with joy. Lory feel too full, she leans on Zhao Li Xin's chest while rubbing her stomach. 

"I think I need the Pu'erh tea now…" she covers her mouth quickly before she blurp.

"Count me in…." Ming Yue Yin also in the same situation, her chest feel hot from too much eating.
Yuan Shao holds his laughter with his fist, Ming Yue Yin has no energy to fight with him, the truth is she can't move without blurp multiple times, she can't let anyone see that she still have a reputation to keep. Yuan Shao feel bad for her so she orders Pu Erh tea for the two greedy ladies, who told them to eat until there drop.

"Why are you eating so much?" Zhao Li Xin sighs while stroking her arms.

"When it comes to food, I just can't hold myself" she agrees she's a little bit overboard for today.

The room becomes quiet until the maids come with Pu'Erh tea for the two overeating ladies, they never seem women eating so much in front of the men before. Should they maintain there imaged in front these to handsome men? 

Lory and Ming Yue Yin hold the teacup and slowly drink the tea, Lory winced when he tasted the bitter tea. Ming Yue yin sigh when she feel better after drinking the tea. Ming Yue Tin lift the bamboo curtain to enjoy the scenery but than she saw a familiar person in the other room, the room is quite far and a little bit dark out their so she's not sure if she saw the right person.

"Hei Yuan Shao!" she suddenly called.

This is the first time Ming Yue Yin called his name so he startled a little bit, suddenly his mood rises but another words coming from Ming Yue Yin ruined his mood again.

"Is that you're fiancée…" she innocently asked.

His face turn sour "I don't have fiancée" he said firmly.

"I'm kidding, why are you so angry" she rolled her eyes than she asked again, this time she asked with a serious tone "Is that Yang Wei Lan and Yang Qiong Yan?"

Ming Yue Yin words took everyone by surprised, Lory also become curious she lift the bamboo curtain from the other window, she follow where Ming Yue Ying finger pointing at than she sees three people on the same room, she recognize the Yang Wei Lan and yang Qiong Yan but she doesn't recognize the other woman "Who is that woman with them?"

Yuan Shao frown got deepen "My stepsister, Yuan Shan," he said with disdain. It easy to see he's not fond of his stepsister.

"You're step sister closed with Yang's family?" Ming Yue Yin asked.

"Not really but Yuan Shan and Yang Wei Lan are in the same circle, they do know each other" Yuan Shao does hear Yang Wei Lan try to get closed with Yuan Shao after she failed to get close to Yuan Xue An. 

"I think you're sister like that Yang young master, she keep staring at him like Yue Yin staring at the dumpling" Lory said again.

"I never consider her as my sister" he refused to accept that woman child as his family, his mother only gives birth to one sister and that's Yuan Xue An, other then her he never considers his other father children as his family.

"And yes, she does likes Marquis Yang, everybody knows that" Yuan Shao sneered.

Ming Yue Yin closes the curtain, It is better never to meet them again "You know that Yang Marquis has a lot of concubines and also the regular on drunken flower brothels" she raised her eyebrows with probing gaze.

"Is not my problem which man she wants to marry, and I don't think she minds," he said casually while pour himself some wine "Maybe he though is normal for a woman with his status have many women, as long he doesn't have an official wife she still have the chance" he mocked the stupid way of thinking most women.

"We have a name for man like that" lory also close the curtain, Yang Qiong Yan not even has a half the beauty of Zhao Li Xin "We call someone like him a 'pig' he eat anything, everything, no matter how dirty and disgusting it is"

"Can't agree more" Ming Yue Yin raised her teacup to cheers.

"I think I know what Yuan Shan get if she marry that pig" Lory sip her tea calmly.

"Really, what?" Ming Yue Yin than sip her tea too"

Lory smacked her lips than she nods firmly "Gonorrhea"

Ming Yue Yin almost spit the tea from her mouth 'D*mn!'

The Princess: WAIT… This princess is kidding, just kidding, wait...!


Zhang Zian was confused, but Old Time Tea spoke out, "Galaxy, did you stop it because you knew it would fight with Your Majesty Fina?" Galaxy nodded. "It doesn't know how to play hide-and-seek." 
"That explains it," said Old Time Tea. During these days of living with Fina, it had become quite familiar with Fina's temperament. That blabbering Apprehensive Bird could provoke Fina quite easily.  
Zhang Zian was still baffled, but since Old Time Tea made no objection, he took out his cell phone and activated the Pet Hunter game. 
[Navigation Elf]: Welcome home! A well-known explorer!
[Navigation Elf]: No pain, no gain. More exciting adventures are waiting for you!
The virtual elf bar was occupied by the grey and white Apprehensive Bird. 
[Game Tip]: Pet property
[Known As]: Apprehensive Bird
[Rarity]: Elite
[Characteristics]: Birds Have Their Own Languages
[History]: Locked
[Real Name]: Locked
He aimed at an empty spot and clicked, "Release".
"Quack!" The bird almost fell onto the floor. 
"What the hell just happened? Who got me here? What do you want? Money? Or me?"
After flapping and struggling a few times in the air, the bird found itself unable to escape, so it laid its black eyes on Zhang Zian, and then looked at Galaxy and Old Time Tea. 
"Quack! A fool and two stupid cats!"
The powerful and polite Old Time Tea just drank its tea, smiling and remaining silent. It did not bother to quarrel with the bird. Galaxy was right—if Fina was here, it would have beat this big-mouthed Apprehensive Bird until its blood dripped in no time. 
Galaxy did not feel offended either; it just tilted its head to one side and looked at the bird curiously. 
But Zhang Zian was furious. He pointed at the bird and yelled, "What did you just say? You think we are all morons?"
"Yep, everyone is a moron except me!"
Apprehensive Bird hovered around the roof, and found that not only could it not fly upwards, but there seemed to be invisible walls in all directions in the air, preventing it from leaving. 
Zhang Zian could not help but laugh, "Don't waste your energy. You are not getting away from this."
"Damn it! What kind of sorcery is this? You stupid moron, stop laughing!"
Apprehensive Bird flapped its wings and landed on the table. Old Time Tea used one of its paws to cover its teacup so that the dust stirred by the flapping and in the bird's feathers wouldn't fall into it. 
"We are not done, remember? I was humiliated in front of the class by you!" said Zhang Zian.  
Apprehensive Bird stuck out its thin and long tongue, liked it was mocking him. "That proves my point. You ARE stupid!" 
It tilted its head and saw the osmanthus in the vase. Richard pecked one flower and swallowed it into its stomach, "Quack! That tasted nice!" Then, it picked another flower. 
"Hey, those flowers are not for you to eat!" Zhang Zian was angry, but he also thought the scene was quite funny. 
"Gosh! So stingy! I forgive you for being stupid, since basically everyone is stupid. But stupid and stingy at the same time? You are hopeless!" Apprehensive Bird kept on devouring the osmanthus, and in no time, there were only branches and leaves on the osmanthus bouquet. 
"Hello! I'm Galaxy!" Galaxy raised one of its paws to greet the bird, "Want to play hide-and-seek with me?"
"Quack! What the hell is hide and seek? I never play games that are for kids!" Apprehensive Bird shouted snobbishly. 
"I'm just asking. You would lose anyway; you would get caught right away." Galaxy replied gently.  
"Quack?" Apprehensive Bird was shocked. 
Zhang Zian chimed in, "Hey! Aren't you going to introduce yourself? Galaxy's inviting you to play!"
"Introduce myself?" Apprehensive Bird looked at Zian and Old Time Tea and said, "Okay. You introduce yourselves first. I want to know your names."
Old Time Tea smiled. "I'm Old Time Tea."
"Pfft. What a lousy name!" Apprehensive Bird looked at Old Time Tea, who was not affected by its comment at all. Then, it turned to Zhang Zian, "Idiot, what's your name then?"
"My name is Zhang Zian." He tried to warn Apprehensive Bird, "You'd better watch your month. You will be beaten to death if you talk like this to someone who is ill-tempered."
"Quack! Quack! Your name is even lousier!" Apprehensive Bird kept blabbering, rolled its eyes and continued, "Well, you are lucky that I'm in a super good mood today! Let me give you a fashionable name!" 
"A fashionable name?"
"Yep, a Western, fashionable name."
Zhang Zian knew that it must be hatching some wicked idea, but agreed to carry on. "All right, go ahead."
"Well, how about I call you Jeff Richardson?" said Apprehensive Bird slowly. 
"Sh*t!" Zhang Zian yelled at her, "How stupid do you think I am? That's such an old-fashioned name!"
"Such a moron has heard this name before?" Apprehensive Bird was surprised. 
Zhang Zian pointed at Apprehensive Bird, and said, "Do you want to be called Richard Jefferson?"
Apprehensive Bird clearly did not prepare for this, "You are very interesting! Perhaps you are slightly smarter than other idiots? I haven't had witty conversations with anyone for quite a while! All right, as you wish, you can call me Richard Jefferson from now on. Hello, Jeff!"
"Well, I guess we did have a witty and funny conversation! Hello, Richard!"
Zhang Zian and Apprehensive Bird stared at each other, then both burst into laughter a moment later, leaving Galaxy and Old Time Tea bewildered. 
"Okay, I'm not leaving, for now..." Apprehensive Bird jumped a few times on the table, and seeing that there was water in Galaxy's teacup, it went to drink it without hesitation. 
Zhang Zian tried to remind Apprehensive Bird once again, "Richard, I actually have another cat named Fina. And you'd better behave yourself if you see her."
Apprehensive Bird shook off the beads on its beak and exclaimed arrogantly, "Another cat? Let me tell you something, Jeff. I am not afraid of any cat. Stupid cats have tried to catch me when they saw me, but not one has ever succeeded! So ridiculous!"
Old Time Tea finished drinking its tea quietly, and used its claw, sharp like steel, to flip a small piece of an osmanthus petal near its teacup. The petal shot out violently in the air, and hit the butt of Apprehensive Bird in an instant! 
Apprehensive Bird did not see the petal flying from its back, but it surely felt the pain in its ass!
"Quack! Quack!"
The bird's eyes were wide open and it almost fell off the table. 
"Do not underestimate heroes in this world." Old Time Tea said calmly. The cat waved its Mandarin jacket and jumped off the chair. "Zian, I'll leave first."
Apprehensive Bird was shocked, its mouth opening and closing. Zhang Zian said to it, "Told you to watch your mouth. You're lucky that today, only your butt is hurt. If you keep talking like this, your life will be in danger."
Apprehensive Bird replied sheepishly, "That was…really eye-opening…"
Zhang Zian didn't know what to say.

CHAPTER 6







Jimin's POV

"What movie do you want to watch next?" I asked Jungkook as I sat on the floor going through movies.

"I don't know. What other movies do you have?" he asked.

"Hmm, well, I have 27 dresses, Casper, The Cheetah Girls-"

"Wait, did you just say The Cheetah Girls?" Jungkook asked shocked.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" I said with a little attutide putting my hands on my hips and rolling my neck.

"First off don't ever do that," he said very seriously making me giggle, "And second nothing is wrong with it I was just surprised."

"Mhmm, anyway like I was saying 27 dresses, Casper, The Cheetah Girls, Lion King, Project X, Sn-"

"Let's watch Project X," he said cutting me off.

"Okay," I said popping the movie in and sitting back on the counch.

"You want me to get some more snacks for us?" I asked Jungkook .

"No you rest and I will get the snacks." he said getting up with out letting me argue back.

He returned as the last preview went off.

He handed me a big plastic bowl that was filled with popcorn.

I took the popcorn gratefully and leaned back in to the sofa as the movie played. As the second scene of the movie was playing I watched from the corner of my eye as Jungkook did the corniness move in the book. First he yawned and then was pretending to stretch as he slowly slipped his arm around my shoulder. I looked as his arm and then him. He gave me a sly smile and pretended nothing happen. I couldn't control myself any longer. I busted out laughing falling to the ground clutching my stomach.

"It's not that funny," he said pouting and crossing his arms over his chest.

"Yes it was it was so funny and corny." I said in between laughs.

I heard him growl lowly in his throat. After a few mintues I controlled myself and sat back on the sofa next to him. He still was pouting and didn't put his arm around my shoulder which made me feel like I was empty. So I grabbed his arm and wrapped it around my shoulder pulling myself closer to his side. 

"Better?" I asked giggling softly. 

He looked down shocked at what I just did but soon replaced it with a full blown smile that could stop traffic I felt like I was melting. 

"Much better," he whisphered deeply in my ear turning back to the movie. I blushed and did the same thing. 

When the movie was over I couldn't stop laughing. Project X was a movie filled with boobs, booze, and stupidness. (Yes I actually did watch the movie so no need for me to lie about it) Jungkook and I walked to the kitchen and dumped all the dirty dishes in to the sink. 

"That was a funny movie." Jungkook said standing behind me watching as I rinised the dishes. 

"Yeah it was. What was your favorite part?" I asked. 

"The part when all the girls were swimming with no shirts on." he said smirking. I don't know why but I felt really jealous when he said that. 

"Pig!" I said looking over my shoulder to glare at him. He just smiled and shrugged his shoulder innocently.

"I'm not a pig I'm a man." he said. 

"Whatever," I mumbled. 

"So, what was your favorite part?" he asked breaking the silence. 

"The part when that crazy guy was running after the van." I said chuckling lightly.

"Yeah that was funny too." Jungkook said. 

We talked more about the movie then went back to the living room to find something else to do.

"So what do you want to do now?" I asked. 

"We could just talk and get to know each other more." Jungkook suggested. 

"Hmm, that sounds like a pretty good idea. Okay you first ask me something." I said turning my body towards him and sitting criss cross apple sauce. (haha)

"Okay, are you a virgin?" he asked. I rolled my eyes that would be the first question he asks.

"Yes I am. Okay my turn. When are you going to tell me what a mate is?" I asked.

"When I make you mine," he said nonchalantly. 

"I guess I'll never know then." I said huffing.

He laughed, "Oh you will," he said smirking. 

"Your turn!" I yelled trying to change the subject.

He laughed shaking his head, "Have you ever been in a relationship with anybody?"

"Yup, we still have time. I'll slice them up quickly."
	I picked up the green onions on the table and put them on the cutting board. I wanted to use scissors, but surprisingly enough, there weren't any. So I grabbed a knife. Knives were my specialty anyway. At the moment I may have been a pig, but I was originally a sword-wielding warrior. I never lost to anybody with a sword.

"Okay, let's get started."
	I held the knife in my hand, and it felt so strange. It wasn't my original body, after all. I started to chop the onions.
	Chop...chop...chop...chop…
	It was difficult. I almost sliced my own finger. Minji quietly came by my side. She seemed to have been avoiding me after the incident. If she didn't provoke me, I had no reason to provoke her. But why was she approaching me now? I needed to be careful this time. I had a knife in hand.

"Uh… Hey Sian…"
"I'm holding a knife. Watch what you say."
	I warned her in advance. I didn't know what this hand would do with the knife.

"Oh, no… Um… I wanted to say thanks…"
"What?"
	I stared at Minji, knife in hand. Was this bitch out of her mind? I couldn't ever get used to her. I was waiting for her to tell me she was kidding and call me a fat pig again. But she looked me in the eyes and thanked me so sincerely. Well, I did save her life. I guess she did have a conscience. 

"Thanks…"
"Act like your old self. I can't get used to this."
"Old self…?"
	She pretended that she couldn't remember. What a bitch.
"Yeah. Act like you always did and make me mad. So I don't have to feel guilty pulling out all your hair."
"I'm sorry, Sian… I'm really sorry for how I treated you. I apologize."
	She apologized. She was truly a mystery.

"This is really weird. I got it so just gather everyone in the living room we can all watch Fifteen together as we eat."
"Okay!"
	She immediately skipped over to the living room. What the hell? Could someone change so instantly? You never know what could happen. Humans are the most unpredictable species. To think that you really know someone is arrogance. Anyway, I dropped the chopped green onions into the stir-fry. The aroma filled the room.

"I'm hungry~"
"Yoo-young~"
"So hungry!"
	The baby birds sang their hungry melody from the living room. Yoo-young, Rinzhi, and I brought the food to them. They had already set the table, and all that was left now was to eat. 

"Did you turn on Fifteen?"
	Asked Yoo-young.
"Yes, Yoo-young. It'll start after the ads."
	Hainan answered her. In moments, Fifteen's first episode began.

"Whoo…"
	I was nervous. How fat would I look on TV…


***


"Chrp."
	I clicked my tongue at my piggy self on TV. 

"Sian, you need to lose more."
	Rinzhi said as she snuggled into my arms."
"Sian, don't. I like you just as you are."
	Hainan snuggled up against me from the other side. It's so fucking hot, these bitches.

"But still, you've lost a lot, haven't you?"
	Asked Yoo-young.
"She lost 10 kg."
	Rinzhi responded in my stead. Everyone gasped.

"Really, Sian?"
	Yoojin was the most shocked. She was my roommate, for Pete's sake, and she didn't even know. Well, she really wasn't much herself without her breasts. Her head was as hollow as a pumpkin. One conversation with her, and you'd know that right away. Unless she was deliberately playing dumb, she really was an airhead. Was I being harsh?

"Yeah, it's true."
	I answered proudly. And of course, Yoojin answered back like the bitch she was.
"But why doesn't it show at all?"
"Do you want me to show you my fist?"
"Pft."
	Everyone laughed, except Yoojin. She whipped her head back towards the screen, and I smiled in triumph. Everyone knew that I saved Minji, and somehow that gave me the title of the strongest girl in this house. Rinzhi and Hainan especially liked me. They kept pestering me to be their bodyguard.
	Anyway, we ate and laughed through the episode and it finally ended. It was fun, and there were thankfully no controversial scenes. But of course, there was a lot of talk about me. It was time to sift through the comments on the internet. 

[Sian Lee? That pig is an idol???]
[Everyone and their mom could be an idol nowadays.]
[Loool~~]
[Who's that pig?]
[She was a member of the ballad group Lovely Girl~~ She's good at singing at least~~ But you need more than that to succeed in this industry~~ Take care of yourself Sian~~ You're bringing down Yoo-young Lee and Jumi Yeom~~ There's no way you're making it into the group this time~~ If so I'll assume the show is rigged~~ Or you're dating Jinwoo Park~~]
	[re: enough of the flying tortillas you dumbass~~]
	[re: dating Jinwoo Park? Is that for sure? Or else you're getting sued dude.]
	[re: she is a pig but she's a good singer. but who wants to look at such a pig?]
	[re: Yoo-young is pretty. Jumi is cute too. Sian Lee... Barf!]
	[re: These comments are soharsh. Have you ever thought of how she might feel?]
	[re: you think all you want.]

"The majority is hate comments."
	Whether listed by most recent or by most likes, it was all hate. Well deserved, I'd say. For 2 years fans begged this body to lose weight for the sake of the team but it never happened, and in the end Lovely Girl ended up on this audition show. It was well-deserved hate. There weren't many fans in the first place, but even the few seemed to all have left.

"Don't mind them, Sian. Just keep doing your thing."
	Yoo-young patted my back. Did she really not resent me? I found in my memories that Yoo-young and Jumi never resented me. They never blamed anyone else, and actually comforted me, saying that we can just try harder. They were such good people.

"But people are so cruel."
	Hainan said as she looked through the comments. Her eyes were brimming with tears. Was she crying for me? What a shock. I mean, I too would cry for my colleagues when they died in battle. Yes, I would shed a tear or two when my colleagues were killed. But Hainan was crying for me because of some comments on the internet. Were all women like this? If there were cameras rolling I'd put the blame on that, but there were none at the moment. 
"Hainan, why are you crying?"
"Sian...Wahhh…"
	Hainan embraced me and sobbed even harder. What a funny girl.

"Don't cry, Hainan."
"Don't read the comments, Sian. Wahhh…"
"Okay, okay. Stop crying, Hainan. I'm totally fine."
	I patted Hainan's back. I was the one receiving the comments, but I was consoling her… It was a funny situation, but… It was nice to know that she genuinely cared for me.

"That's it, Sian. You're going to work harder. You're going to lose all that weight and prove them all wrong!"
	Rinzhi cheered me on, along with Yoo-young. Even the shy Sena joined in.
	That night, I worked out with all the strength I had. I did the same that weekend, and Monday finally came along. Monday was filming day. My weight had gone down to 81.2 kg, for a total of 14 kg lost.



<Chapter 11: Top Sexy Girl Group> The End

Lee Sian, the strongest person under the heavens in old china, was reborn as a very overweight woman.

Now, behold as you watch the change that is about to occur!

Ling Tian just wanted to burst out into tears! He had really suffered from his own actions! Since Yu BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians hadn't been cured yet, how could he touch her? This was something that concerned her life! He definitely couldn't lose himself to a moment of folly. Ling Tian was immediately reduced to a pathetic state with cold sweat flowing down his face. The live beauty in his hands had turned into a piping hot sweet potato that he couldn't touch. To Ling Tian who had already abstained from his lust for a few days, this was no different from torture!
Just when he was feeling helpless, Ling Chen's figure appeared with a white flash and she began to circulate her Divine Ice Formula. Placing her palm on Yu BingYan's forehead softly, a wave of ice cold qi permeated her whole body and woke her up. As she opened her eyes, she immediately realized what had just happened and she felt her whole body turn hot from embarrassment! In front of Chen'er and in broad daylight, I actually… in this little courtyard… I almost…
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she got. With a soft shriek, she covered her face with her hands and escaped quickly. With just a flash of a white figure, she had already disappeared completely. The profoundness of her movement technique was indeed something rare!
Ling Tian shut his eyes and took in a deep breath. After opening his eyes, he saw Ling Chen looking at him with her face pinkish and with a smile which didn't seem like a smile. Her eyes were filled with a tinge of laughter as though she was giggling about Ling Tian's pitiful appearance.
Ling Tian immediately felt energized as he said with a lecherous smile, "Chen'er, how bold! You actually dared to ruin the affairs of this young noble! How are you going to make it up to me?" With the both of them so near each other, Ling Chen's fragrance had already made its way to Ling Tian's nose and he was already completely ignited.
Ling Chen was taken aback for a moment as she looked at Ling Tian's burning eyes. She immediately knew what Ling Tian was thinking of… But, it is still in the day… Ling Chen immediately turned tail and ran away.
How would Ling Tian let her escape? He quickly caught up to her and hugged her in his embrace. "Little lass, now that you have chased away my beauty, you shall have to replace her. This young noble has really missed you greatly!" Hugging her dainty body, he dashed into the room like a s*x fiend.
Ling Chen felt her body turn hot from shyness as she struggled to no avail. After a while, she gave up her struggles but her face remained buried in Ling Tian's embrace, refusing to lift her head up! She could still feel Ling Tian's hands roaming around her body and just when she said, "No…" her mouth was immediately stoppered by Ling Tian's lips and she couldn't say a second word. The room was then filled with odd noises…
A very long while later…
Ling Tian crawled up from the bed in satisfaction as he leaned back with his hands behind his head, "No wonder people say that after being in the army for three years, even a female pig will become a beauty. This is too true indeed, even though it has only been a few days… how satisfying…"
Behind him, Ling Chen was panting underneath the sheets with her face drenched in sweat and unable to even lift up a finger. Hearing what Ling Tian had said, she began to whine, "You… who are you calling a female pig?"
Ling Tian chuckled and dived into Ling Chen's chest as he explored around and said in a barely inaudible tone, "You, you are the female pig… I am the male pig… we are a pair of pigs. Wu… how fragrant, how smooth..."
...
"Young noble, there is a strange man outside who requests an audience." Just when Ling Tian had brewed himself a cup of tea, a servant reported to him.
"Strange man? How is he strange?" Ling Tian asked.
After thinking for a moment, the servant gave a serious response. "He is covered in black cloth all over and we can't see his real appearance. Furthermore, he speaks in an unclear fashion as well as though not wanting us to hear his true voice. While he seems tall, with the black cloth making his figure look huge, we can easily see his skinny figure when the wind blows. This subordinate also saw that his hair is extremely short and black. As such, I am certain that he isn't too old for sure. Furthermore, this person also has calluses on his hands and is probably a martial arts practitioner as well."
"Oh?" Ling Tian could not help but be interested. However, he wasn't interested in that black-robed man but in this servant in front of him. This fellow had such astute observational skills, and it was obvious that he had prepared these responses beforehand. No matter what he asked, this servant was still able to give him a satisfactory answer.
"What is your name? Are you new here? What was your original occupation?" Ling Tian lifted up his teacup and blew the rising steam off it. At the same time, his gaze was locked firmly on this servant.
"This subordinate is Zhang DaKou[1], and I am twenty years old this year. I always had a large appetite since young and so I got this name." As though he was a little terrified, Zhang DaKou trembled slightly. "This subordinate entered the Ling residence seven days ago and Sir Ling Two was the one who arranged for me to be a messenger. This subordinate was originally a blacksmith." Despite it being a casual question by Ling Tian, Zhang DaKou was actually able to recite out his reply without any mistake.
A chilly glare flashed past Ling Tian's eyes and he said emotionlessly, "Oh, you may leave now. Invite the guest in."
"Yes, young noble." Zhang DaKou gave a respectful bow and walked out slowly. When he turned around, Ling Tian noticed the ears of Zhang DaKou twitching slightly as though he was smiling! He was obviously elated by the fact that he had put on a wonderful performance! Ling Tian could even imagine the perverse smile on his face.
Ling Tian began to frown as he thought, This Zhang DaKou doesn't seem like a simple individual! A mere blacksmith actually knowing the rites of an aristocratic family? Furthermore, his observational skills are so acute with his thoughts extremely meticulous. He was actually able to make use of every single opportunity to fully display his talents. While he had a face full of fear in the face of my questioning, his fingers were completely steady without even the single trace of trembling…
A twenty-year-old blacksmith? If a blacksmith was able to have such a temperament and shrewdness, all the blacksmiths in the world could become strategists instead!
How interesting! Ling Tian shut his eyes as he thought, You think that you can become a spy with such meager skills? Regardless of who is behind you, you are looking down on me too much!
"Young noble Ling, it has been long!" A black-robed figure slowly walked into the courtyard.
"Has it been long?" Ling Tian felt a sense of familiarity. "Who are you? Have I seen you before?"
"Young noble Ling is forgetful indeed!" An unconcealed voice of hatred sounded, "We had a brief meeting from afar and I believe that young noble Ling wouldn't forget this old friend so quickly right?" As he said that, the black-robed man removed the cloth covering his face and revealed a suave and young appearance.
"Oh, so it is you." Ling Tian replied indifferently. "You actually dare to come here alone? Shui QianHuan, is everyone from your Shui Family so bold?"
This person was actually the individual who conspired with Northern Wei, coerced Sky Bearing and allied with Western Han to lead 400,000 soldiers to surround Ling Xiao. He was the one who almost killed Ling Xiao, and was the successor of Water of Heavenly Wind, Shui QianHuan! He actually had the guts to show up in front of Ling Tian!
"Young noble Ling, are you not even going to offer this old friend a glass of water?" As though he was in his own house, Shui QianHuan walked over to the seat opposite Ling Tian and sat down. "Is this how your Ling Family treats its guests?"
"Shui QianHuan, can you even be considered a guest?" Ling Tian said with a steady expression. Despite saying that, he still clapped his hands lightly and a maid walked in with a tray of tea. Ever since Ling Tian acknowledged Ling Chen's status, he ignored the disagreement of Ling Chen and transferred another maid to serve their daily needs. At the same time, he thought to himself, Just what is Shui QianHuan relying on to be so calm?
"Good tea! Young noble Ling is indeed surrounded by good quality goods!" After taking a sip of the tea, Shui QianHuan felt a refreshing feeling filling his entire body. In his life, he had never tasted such good tea and could not help but praise.
Ling Tian only stared at him coldly, as though wanting to look into the depths of Shui QianHuan's soul! Without saying a single word, the whole room was filled with a tense atmosphere as though a volcano was about to erupt! However, Shui QianHuan continued to savor the tea as though he could not feel a thing and his expression was unchanged with his sleeves not even trembling.
"You are afraid of me?" Ling Tian suddenly asked as his sharp gaze was unblinkingly locked onto Shui QianHuan's eyes.
"Afraid of you? Hahaha…" Shui QianHuan chuckled, "does young noble Ling think that I have to be afraid of anyone?"
Ling Tian leaned his body slightly forward as he looked at Shui QianHuan with a pitying gaze, "I didn't want to give you a setback but your acting is just too fake! Your act is far too unnatural and forced. Shui QianHuan, no matter how good your acting is, it doesn't mean that you will be able to fool others! 'Too far is as bad as not enough', I believe that you have heard this phrase before right?"
Ling Tian then looked at Shui QianHuan with unconcealed disdain, "You are purposefully acting as though you are extremely calm and indifferent towards everything in the world, purposefully putting on an act to make yourself look extremely natural! However, you acting extremely natural makes it seem as though you care too much! Your natural bearing and demeanor are all an act that you are putting on! So, you must definitely be afraid in your heart. However, I don't think that you are afraid that I will kill you. So, what are you afraid of?" Ling Tian said with a trace of ridicule.
Shui QianHuan's suave appearance first turned red before he started laughing with mockery, "Ling Tian, I have to admit that you have a keen eyesight. However, didn't you admit it yourself? You don't dare to kill me! Hahaha, aren't you also afraid? Afraid of the prestige of my Shui Family? What are you acting so arrogant about?! Haha…"
Ling Tian stared at Shui QianHuan silently for a moment before letting out a snicker, "I was wrong indeed, you actually think so highly of yourself! Shui QianHuan, while the strength of your Shui Family is powerful, there must have been many of your subordinates that died under my hands, right? I am already mortal enemies with your Shui Family! If I kill you, your Shui Family will definitely not let the matter rest. But if I don't kill you, will you guys let the matter rest and not deal with me? Shui QianHuan, don't try to suppress me with the Shui Family which has been decaying for a thousand years! You won't be able to suppress me! Not to mention you, even if the Shui Family head were to make a personal appearance, I wouldn't be concerned!"
Ling Tian smiled as he spoke in a confident tone. Looking at Shui QianHuan who was trembling with anger, he continued, "Why not tell me what you are relying on? Why not tell me why you dare to come here alone and be certain that I wouldn't kill you? These are the things that I am interested in. As for your courage, steadiness and natural demeanor, they are not worth a fart to me! The only reason why I am not going to kill you is that I do not feel that it is time yet. But if you were to truly anger me, do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you on the spot?! Don't even think of putting up an act in front of me. Shui QianHuan, in terms of acting, you are far too inadequate, especially when you are trying to put up an act in front of someone far stronger than you!"
Shui QianHuan took in a large breath as he suppressed the anger in his heart and the urge to fly into a rage. "Ling Tian, where is my younger sister? I want to see her now!"
Ling Tian leaned back into the chair and raised his teacup. Without even looking at Shui QianHuan, he replied, "Shui QianHuan, be careful with your words. Why are you asking me about your missing sister? Am I your brother-in-law?"
"You!" Shui QianHuan's breathing became ragged as his eyes gleamed with a sinister light. With a mellow tone, he said, "Ling Tian, she is my only younger sister and is the precious princess of the whole family. If anything untoward were to happen to her, Water of Heavenly Wind would definitely not let the matter rest! We would definitely wipe out the party that harmed her! You have to consider your words carefully before giving me a reply."
Ling Tian lifted his head up slowly as a frosty light shot out from his eyes. "Originally, I would have been happy to tell you who harmed her, but I have changed my mind. Shui QianHuan, you should know that I only have a single father! My birth father! If anyone dares to harm my dad, I, Ling Tian, will be enemies with him as well! I will not rest until they are destroyed! I will definitely repay my enemies two-fold!"
Both of their fierce gazes collided with each other as though sparks were about to be ignited. As Ling Tian glared at Shui QianHuan, he took a step forward, "Also, do not bring out your young noble airs in front of me! This is no more than a joke to me and will only make me look down on you! Do you understand? Do you think your Shui Family will have a reaction if I kill you now?!"
Shui QianHuan's face turned completely red and he suddenly turned around, "Ling Tian, no matter what, my sister went missing in Sky Bearing. As the local snake of the area, it is impossible for you to be uninvolved in the matter! If I were to find out that you were the mastermind, not a single fowl or dog will be left alive in your Ling Family! My words will end here, and I will be taking my leave!"
Ling Tian then snorted and said coldly, "You really know how to joke. Do you think my Ling Residence is a place where you can come and go as you wish?! Did I allow you to leave? Since you are here already, are you even thinking of leaving? My Ling Family has always been extremely hospitable, and we would invite young noble Shui to stay for a few days so we can play host properly!"
Shui QianHuan then chuckled, "Ling Tian, before I came to your courtyard, another two elders of mine were already on their way to visit Old Madam Ling and Duke Ling. Haha, before being certain of my little sister's whereabouts, I am not interested in becoming enemies with the Ling Family yet. But if I do not leave this place after the designated time, it would be difficult for me to ensure that the two elders do not make a rash move. At that time, it wouldn't be good for either of us. Ling Tian, if you still want to play host to this young noble, you may carry on doing so."

Chen Changsheng had said 'order what you want'. In Tang Thirty-Six's view, the words 'order what you want' could equally mean ordering whatever dish he wanted or interacting with him whenever he wanted. Filled with sympathy for Chen Changsheng, Tang Thirty-Six did not pay much attention to price when he ordered dishes. Taking up the menu, he casually ordered a few of the inn's signature dishes. The first two dishes were flying sparrow soup and a steamed two-headed fish…as he was ordering, he glimpsed that Chen Changsheng's brow was creased. Thinking that he didn't have enough money, Tang Thirty-Six felt a little regretful. He said to the waiter, "I don't need the double-headed fish anymore, switch it out for a perch. And also…switch the flying sparrow soup for water shield soup."

Just as expected, Chen Changsheng's brows relaxed.

Tang Thirty-Six smiled, thinking to himself, I really can observe everything down to the smallest detail and have a good understanding of others. He casually said, "Also add on a bowl of plum blossom dumplings with deer meat filling."

Chen Changsheng wrinkled his brow.

Tang Thirty-Six glanced at him, then said, "Change that to…bring a bowl of braised pork."

Chen Changsheng's brow was still wrinkled.

Tang Thirty-Six was rather displeased. He thought to himself, it's a bowl of fatty pork; on a normal day at home, I would even be too lazy to eat it, and you still aren't willing to pay for it?

He said to the waiter, "Bring over a plate of cold fishwort in sauce! And add on a plate of pig ears in chili oil!"

Chen Changsheng still had that same appearance, his face brimming with disapproval.

Tang Thirty-Six was really quite annoyed now. He said, "It seems like this is your first time treating someone else to a meal and you don't quite understand the ways of the world, so I won't say anything about it."

Chen Changsheng was a little surprised. He asked, "Where was I wrong?"

Tang Thirty-Six scolded, "Just because you don't have enough money doesn't mean you should show such an expression in front of your guest! It really makes people irritated! Since you're a man, your head can be cut, your blood can flow, but you must never lose face! Even if in a little while you have to sell off your big furskin coat, so what?"

He had believed this reasoning of his to be very proper and thought the feeling of teaching a friend to be rather nice. Chen Changsheng, on the other hand, felt it to be somewhat weird. He asked, "Is this what it means to slap your face to make it look more imposing?"

Tang Thirty-Six was a little incensed at these words and asked, "Where did these words come from?"

"This is a common saying in Xining," Chen Changsheng sincerely explained.

Tang Thirty-Six was stunned as he thought to himself, is this what I was asking about? Just as he was about to fly into rage, he heard Chen Changsheng say something else.

"…Also, I don't have a big furskin coat."

The room became somewhat quiet.

Tang Thirty-Six forgot about getting angry. He thought that this matter was truly far too distressing and this kid was really too pitiable.

He had only seen elders and senior brothers of his clan and school who were down on their luck frequently taking up their furskins and exchanging them for wine and food, but no one had ever told him how people who were so poor to not even have this would treat someone to a meal without losing face. As for him…in the first place, he had never lacked for money. Secondly, he had never treated anyone to a meal before.

He looked at Chen Changsheng and firmly said, "I will treat you for this meal."

Chen Changsheng found this a little odd and asked, "Why?"

Tang Thirty-Six gazed at him with a gentle expression. "You don't have a big fur coat, so you definitely don't have any other valuable things. How could I let you treat me?"

Somewhat innocently, Chen Changsheng said, "But…I do have the money."

...

...

The scene once again became awkward.

Tang Thirty-Six had a rather ugly look on his face. He asked, "Then previously when I was ordering food, why was your expression so nasty?"

Chen Changsheng recalled the previous scene and comprehended what was going on. Rather embarrassed, he explained, "Because…you ordered flying sparrow soup, famous for being very warm and known for its excessive dry properties. In the autumn and winter, it's very helpful, but now it's spring. Drinking this sort of soup can easily cause an excess of heat and isn't good for the body."

For this kid to be considering these sorts of questions was completely out of Tang Thirty-Six's expectations. He asked, "Could it be that all the other dishes are no good too? Those are all signature dishes though."

"The double-headed fish is a fish from the deep ocean, living off a diet of fish, shrimp, and sea snakes, so its body has accumulated a lot of poison. It would be fine if it were boiled in water, and it would be perfectly fine as soup, but to steam it in broth is not healthy. In addition, we are just two people, and too many meat dishes is also unhealthy. Especially the braised pork, which uses the pork belly. It's far too fatty, so it's best not to eat it."

Finally, Chen Changsheng added, "The pig ears in chili oil really are rather good, but chili oil really isn't. As for the fishwort, eating too much will upset the stomach and disorder the heart. For the body, it's also…"

"Stop!"

Tang Thirty-Six couldn't hear anymore—Chen Changsheng's words were like a fly, buzzing round and round his ear, making him feel very uncomfortable. Anyone would become unhappy if they were happily ordering food and heard the phrase 'it's not healthy' repeated so many times—it was naturally impossible for every type of food to be healthy, but who would pay attention to these things when eating? And to focus on it with such severity? If Chen Changsheng were some old man who valued his health, that would be fine, but he was clearly just a fourteen-year-old youth…

"So what if it's not good for your body? Don't tell me I'll die if I eat it?"

Chen Changsheng earnestly said, "You won't die on the spot, but you'll definitely die a little earlier."

Tang Thirty-Six felt like he had nothing to reply to this. Very curious, he asked, "Then what do you eat normally?"

Chen Changsheng replied, "Two taels of meat, beef or lamb being best; two catties of vegetables, wild herbs being best; sweet potatoes and grains can be eaten at will; every two days, I eat one freshwater fish, with scales is best; lastly, I don't drink soup."

Tang Thirty-Six asked, "How long have you eaten this way?"

Chen Changsheng replied, "From the moment I could remember, I've always eaten this way."

This time it was Tang Thirty-Six's turn to wrinkle his brow.

He felt that these foods even sounded bad. If he really ate these for fourteen years, just how miserable of a life would that be?

He felt himself sympathizing more and more with this kid.

...

...

As they ate, the two were very quiet. Tang Thirty-Six felt that the dishes were too ordinary while Chen Changsheng felt that the dishes were too unhealthy. In brief, they were each dissatisfied in their own way. Of course, it was impossible to reconcile these two matters. The flavor of food and the pursuit of health was always the area of the three outlooks of humans with the fiercest clashes.
(TN: The three outlooks are the outlook of the world, the outlook of life, and the outlook of value.)

Just like this, Chen Changsheng's first time treating someone to a meal hastily concluded. With two full cups of tea in front of them, the two casually chatted about the contents of the Heavenly Dao Academy's entrance exam. Tang Thirty-Six also asked about the particulars of Chen Changsheng's experiences at the Star Seizer Academy and the other two schools. He displayed his incomprehension and doubt about how the Great Zhou military could also be influenced by the Divine General's estate. Afterwards, they ran out of things to talk about.

Newly acquainted friends in their first few conversations would always give stories from their childhood and their experiences growing up, seeking some common hobby. However, the stories that could be told by these two from their childhoods were so dull and monotonous they could make someone rise up in anger, so it was impossible for them to do this. In order to avoid the excessive embarrassment of looking each other in the eyes without anything to say, Tang Thirty-Six stood up and began walking around the room with his cup of tea. As he paced from the living room to the balcony and back, he thought, for this kid to be able afford such a large room with such high rent so close to the Mausoleum of Books, it's obvious that he's not lacking in money. My previous misunderstanding was truly rather ridiculous.

When he wandered up to the display stand in the living room, Tang Thirty-Six's gaze inadvertently fell on the stand and found it impossible to pull away—there was a sword there.

That sword was very delicate, not much longer than an ordinary dagger. Moreover, it was very slender and gave off a very graceful air. The sheath was an ordinary leather sheath and the hilt of the sword was very ordinary. It gave off a thoroughly ordinary air without any place that could attract a gaze, and it lacked any dust or bloodstains. In brief, this sword was ordinary to the extreme, and yet it made him want to get close to it.

Tang Thirty-Six stretched out his hand to grip the dagger.

Chen Changsheng's hand obstructed him, gripping the handle of the dagger before he could.

Tang Thirty-Six glanced at him.

Chen Changsheng looked back at him and said, "This is mine."

Tang Thirty-Six was still holding the teacup. As the steam wafted up from the teacup, his handsome face amidst the steam seemed all the colder. "So I can't touch it?"

Chen Changsheng noticed that he was rather unhappy and somewhat uneasy, but he continued to persist, "You should first ask me. After I agree, you can hold it."

Tang Thirty-Six drew back his right hand, flicked his sleeve and returned to his seat, placing the teacup in front of him on the table.

Chen Changsheng was somewhat embarrassed, feeling that he had done something wrong—actually, he didn't really think he had done something wrong, but this was his first friend after all. When he saw his friend being unhappy, he felt rather confused. Walking up to the table, he offered the dagger in his hand.

Tang Thirty-Six raised his head and glanced at him, then continued to ignore him.

Chen Changsheng moved the dagger even closer.

Tang Thirty-Six refused to take the dagger and said, "You do things without the slightest grace."

Chen Changsheng was helpless. He thought to himself, just who is lacking in grace here? Just who is acting all ill-tempered like a small child? He couldn't do anything except return to the stand and put the dagger back. Turning his head, he asked, "Did you come find me for something?"

"In the capital, since I've gotten to know a person like you, after hearing about this matter of yours, I would naturally come to see. There's no need to thank me, I'm just that sort of passionate and generous person." With an indifferent expression, Tang Thirty-Six continued, "Of course, on the basis that I relatively admire you, you must know that I admire very few of my peers. You should feel honored."

Chen Changsheng was stunned and said, "Then…thank you?"

"Is saying thank you enough?"

"Didn't I just treat you to a meal?"

Tang Thirty-Six stood and said to him, "I've decided to accept you as my younger brother."

Chen Changsheng asked, "What does it mean to be your younger brother?"

Tang Thirty-Six very sincerely explained, "It means that from now on, you'll follow me as I mess around."

Chen Changsheng very sincerely explained, "That's not okay, I still have a lot of things to do. I don't have any time to give you."

Tang Thirty-Six was a very proud youth and took pity on Chen Changsheng as an unrecognized talent, this being the reason he would visit him at this inn. Since Chen Changsheng would not accept, he naturally had nothing more to say. He was just somewhat puzzled. "What things? Continuing to take entrance exams? Just why do you need to get into these schools? What's the reason for your persistence?"

Chen Changsheng asked, "And you? What's your goal in the capital?"

"I want to take part in the Grand Examination, to take first place," Tang Thirty-Six declared proudly.

Suddenly, he remembered that young Phoenix in the south at Holy Maiden Peak. If she were to come back ahead of time…

"I want to take second place in the Grand Examination."

He corrected himself, but then he abruptly remembered Qiushan Jun. If that person participated in this year's Grand Examination…

"Fine, my goal is third place in the Grand Examination."

Tang Thirty-Six finally confirmed, "But in the end, what I want to do is inscribe my name on the monolith in front of the Mausoleum of Books."

"Really far-reaching and ambitious. Admirable, admirable."

Chen Changsheng sighed in admiration, then suddenly thought of a certain matter. "Then won't you have to change your name to Tang Three?"

Tang Thirty-Six couldn't find a response, so he changed the subject. "And you? Just what is your goal in coming to the capital?"

Chen Changsheng honestly said, "I also want to take part in the Grand Examination."

Tang Thirty-Six hadn't really imagined this, but he wasn't too shocked.

Chen Changsheng replied, "I've never thought about second or third place."

Tang Thirty-Six advised, "People truly have to know themselves, but you can't lose your self-confidence. Don't forget, you just need to enter the three banners of the Grand Examination to be able to enter the Mausoleum of Books…"

Speaking up to this point, his voice abruptly came to a halt, because Chen Changsheng once again spoke.

"I want to take first place."

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "I can't take second or third. I can only take first."

Silence.

Tang Thirty-Six was suddenly taken with the impulse to turn and leave.

He realized that today, he had often strayed into circumstances that made him speechless.

Because the things this kid did, the words that he said, often made him speechless and want to spit blood.



To pick is to choose. This is a story about choices. Three thousand worlds full of gods and demons, with a daoist scroll in your hand, you are able to control the entire universe…

At the beginning of time, a mystical meteor came crashing down from outer space and scattered all over the world. A piece of it landed in the Eastern Continent, with mysterious totems carved upon it. Through the observation of these totems, humankind comprehended the Dao and established the Orthodoxy.

Several thousand years later, the fourteen years old orphan Chen Changsheng left his master to cure his illness and change his fate. He brought a piece of marriage vow with him to the capital, thus began the journey of a rising hero.
