This is a short story inspired by Fruit's basket Momiji Sohma's "The most foolish traveler in the world" 

(Photo taken from Google; William Blake's painting of fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream)

The looked each other and saw the confusion in their expression they confirmed their thoughts.

In the beginning the boys thought that she's doing a prank on them but seeing how much confidence she had, and the smirk on her face they started to believe her.

'Did she buy it from somewhere'.

Seeing the shock and confusion on the two boys faces, the girl become more satisfied.

Then she moved her hands to her neck taking out a golden necklace that was hidden by her dress, at the end of it was golden frame in the shape of three leaf clover with green stones instead of the three leafs.

The two boys looked at the necklace with admiration, but soon the golden blonde hair boy said, "but that is not a real clover."

The girl looked at him, "you didn't notice right?"

He couldn't help not ask, "notice what?"

The girl said, "yesterday I notice that clovers wither away quickly and die, so how can it be a royal family legacy?!!"

The two boys were shocked, they planed to make the four-leaf clover their symbol from now on but, 'didn't that mean that every time the clover wither away they have to search again for another four-leaf clover?!!'.

The boys shivered from the idea that they have to repeat these three days they spent searching.

They didn't come to their sense until they heard the girl's laugh, she couldn't help but to laugh looking at their faces and open mouths. 

The two boys felt embarrassing at what they had done and more embarrassed from not noticing the short live of the clover.

After the girl finished her laugh she said, "so yesterday I went directly to my mother I asked her to make necklaces in the shape of clover."

Then she opened her rabbit purse and took out another two necklaces in her hand, the boys looked at them but they notice that these two were different, the first difference was that they were made of silver, the second was the number of the green stones that represents the leafs, one necklace have two stones but the other have only one stone.

Confused again the looked back at the necklace around the girl neck, it have three green stones represent the three leaf clover.

The boys didn't care about the colour difference between their necklaces and the girl, but the wavy black hair asked, "shouldn't you asked her to make it the four-leaf clover?, why are they one, two and three leaf clover?"

The girl raised the two leaf clover necklace in her right hand, and raised the one leaf necklace on her left, "because every one of us is special, so we need different symbol that are special by themselves but contacted together."

The boys didn't ask another question, but the directly shouted, " "I want the two leaf necklace" " 

They knew that they couldn't take the three leaf clover necklace around the girl neck so they wanted the second best thing.

The girl smiled happily and said, " I said every symbol have its special so it has its own meaning, that meaning is what will decide to who the necklace goes to."

The two boys looked at the girl suspiciously, finally the black hair boy asked, "so what is the meanings you are talking about?"

The girl gave a smug smile as if she was waiting for this question, "we all know that the four-leaf clover means luck, but do you know that the other leafs have meaning too?"

The two boys didn't move or give any expression because the didn't want the girl to laugh at them again, but deep down the regretted not research about the clover when they had the time. 

The girl continue while smiling, "the first leaf means "faith", the second leaf means "hope" and the three leafs like the one I'm wearing means "love" got it?!!"

In fact she didn't know anything about this before. yesterday she felt tired so she went home early, her mother happened to see her dirty dress so she asked her about what she was doing, it wasn't a secret so she told her about the search for the four-leaf clover, her mother though for a moment before she say that the clover will not last long, then she told her the meaning of the other three leafs and that she will make her and her friends necklaces so it will last for a long time. 

The two boys didn't care much about the meaning the just want the two leaf clover, because walking around with one green leaf seemed little lame for them.

The girl raised her right hand towards them again and said with a serious look, " now my loyal subjects kneel in front of your princess and close your eyes so I can bestow on you the royal family blessing."

the two boys kneeled like a knight, they did what she asked without complain, because they wanted it to end as fast as possible.


She first stood in front the golden blonde hair boy and announced, "sergeant Kazuki, for your loyalty and keen reflexes, I the second princes bestow on you the two leaf clover that represent "hope", from now on you shall carry with you our hope and be our light in the future."

Then she put the necklace around the sergeant Kazuki's neck.

The girl didn't stop and moved in front the boy with the wavy black hair, "general Hiroto, for your great insight and tactics, I bestow on you the one leaf clover that represent "faith", from now on you will be what motivate us to move forward and hold faith in us even if we lost the faith in our selves."

Then she put the one leaf clover necklace around the general Hiroto's neck.

After that she took two steps back and said with proud and loud voice, " now stand my loyal subject, stand and move forward knowing that I the second princes Aiki, the holder of the three leaf clover that represent "love" will always be with you, I shall never hurts, abandon or betray you."

After hearing her words Kazuki and Hiroto were very amazed, but soon Hiroto showed dissatisfied face, "why do I get the one leaf necklace?"

The girl looked at him and calmly pointed her index finger at her self and said, "I got the three leaf clover because my name Aiki ( 愛姫) have the word "love"(愛) in it. Of course It's also have the word "princes" (姫). she said the last part with big smug on her face.

Then she pointed at Kazuki, "he got the two leaf necklace because the name Kazuki (和希) have the word "harmony" (和) and "hope" (希) in it".

Then she point at Hiroto, "your name Hiroto (大翔) have the word "large" (大) and part of the word "soar"(翔る), so it didn't match with any of the meanings."

Hiroto sighed he didn't argue any more but he felt little frustrated, 'if my name didn't match then why didn't you get me the four leaf", but he didn't have to think about it, because he knows that she didn't get him the four-leaf clover because she didn't want any of the two to have more leafs than her, she even told her mother that she don't want the four-leaf clover any more and she wanted the other three.

Aiki turned her back to them and started to walk, "now let us search for another adventure under my lead."

the two boys kept their eyes on her but didn't move. the Kazuki asked.

"Beheading?"

"Beheading."

Hiroto answered immediately, the didn't forget that she let them search yesterday and today without telling them about the necklaces idea, it would have been worst if they know that she went home early because she was lazy and her mother was the one who came with the idea.

seeing them not moving Aiki start yelling, "what are you two wait for?, let's go."

" "we're coming" " the two boys answer her while running slowly, as the start to make a plan to overthrown her.

ps:- this is my first time writing, and I don't have writing style yet, if you have any ideas or you found any mistakes please write it in the comments,

Heyyy! So, I've decided to write a vocabulary here as some might not be able to understand the words and will also lessen your time if you want to search the meaning of words or honorifics I'm writing or adding on a character's name. ^^




●san- it's the most common honorific used in Japan and is equivalent to Ms., Mr., Miss, or Mrs.


●chan- honorific used for girls, close friends or lovers. It adds a sense of cuteness. Only used between people who have known each other for a long time.


●kun- used when referring to men in general and by superiors to address those of junior status. Don't use this to your boss!


●sama- most formal honorific, formal version of 'san'. Used for guests, costumers, or divine gods



●senpai- means an upperclassman, senior employee or other older person with whom you have dealings. Conversely, kohai (後輩) is the junior or lower person.


●dono- It roughly means "lord" or "master", though it does not necessarily mean "of noble status". Rather, it is similar to "milord" in meaning. It is more formal than -san or -sama.



●Hai- The basic word for "Yes"



●baka-  (馬鹿, ばか (hiragana), or バカ (katakana) means "fool; idiot", or (as an adjectival noun) "foolish" and is the most frequently used pejorative term in the Japanese language.

One very good and sunny morning, I went to school with high spirits.

 Waking up early in the morning, getting ready, bidding my parents a goodbye, going to school, chatting with friends and listening to some lectures.

 Yup, everything was very normal. I am enjoying my youthful life without a care in the world. But I never knew what awaits me at home that changed my life into something different back then.

Huh? Does meeting him a good thing, or a really really bad thing?

Our training continues five days after we started.
My muscle is aching but I still pushing myself until I master a fighting move.
"Good! Keep it up May!"
Today, Lux made me train with a various basic fighting moves where anyone can be mastered in a short amount of time.
Lux's showed me one of his special attack. He calls it "Bend Blade", a sword fighting technique which makes opponent hallucinate that they have seen a bending sword causing the opponent to get confuse in a short moment before they figure the move out.
As my training goes under Lux's education, I easily learned his special attack within a day. The "Bend Blade" doesn't require magic, but, it requires fast movement.
For now, I used the "Swift" crimson stone enchantment to perfectly perform the attack easily. Lux told me that next time, I should do his special attack without using the enchantment.
Another thing, Lux has started to upgrade his Three Word Spell into Four Word Spell. He tried to sharpen the memory of how can a thing be so hot.
In a magical word "Heat" I have said before, Lux thought that he would able to do it because he saw a glimpse of its reaction when he added it on the spell.
From "Photonic-Flash-Strike" into "Photonic-Heat-Flash-Strike".
While Lux is trying to train by himself, Elm was just sleeping upon the tree branch. He told me that he was bored for some reason.
So for motivation, I said "Elm! Why don't you try upgrading you Three Word Spell into Four Word Spell?!" I exclaimed and suggested so he wouldn't be bored.
He responded "Huh? It would take me another three years to upgrade my Three Word Spell."
After he responded, Lux made Elm to go down the tree and said "You idiot, you're a fire mage, and you know how something can be hot. Your memory about it is so sharp since you always felt the hotness in your body every time you cast any fire related spells."
With Elm's magical powers, Lux is certain that Elm will be able to master a Four Word Spell in a short amount of time.
Since I am exhausted after training, I watched these two mages trying to achieve the Four Word Spell.
Right now, I was watching Elm performing an attack while Lux is giving him an instructions so Elm would be able to perform the Four Word Spell.
"Now, cast the first word." Lux is guiding Elm.
"Okay, here we go… FIRE-"
"Then, try to imagine or visualize something that is very hot, you can use your experience every time you cast a fire spell before."
Elm closes his eyes and try to remember and visualize about something very hot.
And when he did…
"HEAT-"
Elm successfully manage to visualize the heat. And because of that, the temperature of flame becomes hotter, and I can feel it in a distance.
"Whoa… Now! Do it!"
"PRESSURED-BLAST"
With the spell has been completed, casted, and released, the flame spread entirely in the surroundings before the attack hit an object.
When the attack was being casted, the flame was very bright, the temperature is very high, and Elm was their showing his face that he is amazed of what he's doing.
When the attack hit an object which is going to be hard rock, the rock shatters in a small pieces and some of the fragments were melting. I used the crimson stone enchantment "Barrier" so it would protect me from debris, while Lux jump very high above for a purpose of safety and see how big the explosion was.
The blast also creates a larger crater than the last one they made during their battle training with Lux.
After everything that happened…
"WHOA… WHOAAAA!!! I DID IT!!!" Elm has gone hyper after he casted a Four Word Spell.
"No way… It's so powerful." I was amazed after that.
"I knew you could do it Elm! You're amazing!"
"Hehe!" Elm was pleased being complimented.
Then all of the sudden, Elm had fainted.
Lux concluded that Four Word Spell requires  a lot of mana to be released.
Now if I imagine I told them some of these words like IGNITE, MAGMA, LAVA, BURN and other fire related words, how would they use it?
"Let's leave him there for now." Lux made Elm to rest with the motivation in his face.
"You look motivated Lux." I said.
"Huh? Really… Well, I'm kind of jealous to be honest." Lux becomes honest.
He was jealous that his friend Elm is now capable of casting a Four Word Spell. This made me decide and struggle if I tell him some Light related words.
"May? What's with that face?"
"Actually, there's something I can tell you. I am not sure if this will work." I was trying to tell him a Light related word while acting that I may not be certain.
"What is it?" Lux was curious.
"Can you try this -SOLAR-"
"Solar? Wait the second…" Lux was saying this while I am thinking that I am being suspicious.
"What?!" Lux was moving his face closer to my face.
"Meaning?!" He asked what's the meaning of "SOLAR".
"Eh?" Then this is what happened after I become presumptuous. But actually Lux was very excited to know the meaning.
"Uhh… ummm it's..." Lux's face remained near to my face and I was having a hard time telling him.
"A light from the Sun!" I exclaimed.
Well, I wish I could tell him more about it but, I am scared that I might get blind.
"A light from the -SUN-?" He was curious again about the word "SUN" not knowing that I did said another unknown word.
"Huh? No… I mean… *Sigh* Guess I have no choice, I mean that one above the sky, your source of light."
"But that's impossible, I can't gather anything from that light."
"Huh?"
So he wasn't able to perform it without gathering magic? All I can think of to make it possible is to tell him the …"------" or "-------".
"You know, just forget it… I don't really know." I lied to him.
"Huh? Well, okay…"
"Can you train me again?" I asked Lux to train me with the sword.
"Oh… I see, let's do it. Now I am going to teach you another fighting move."
Well for now, we're back at training. Lux told me that we will go to the Demon Forest after another five days or until I become much stronger.
"May, can you hand over that Crimson stone?" Lux wanted me to give the crimson stone in a moment.
"Well, sure… But why?" I asked why.
"Well, just a gift for you?" He said a misunderstanding
"Eh? What?!" I was surprised.
"No… I mean, I am just going to add another enchantment. It could be useful when you need it."
Five more days then off we go!
Meanwhile…
The King Phaulius Dives, Elite Mages, and other mages and guards has successfully reached their destination.
After fighting so much monsters, several of them has severely injured. Some other mages had died in such unfortunate occurences.
They may have been able to kill all monsters, however, they have to find where is the stone hidden.
They used the search magic, but, because the power of the stone is powerful, the detection becomes useless since the surroundings is filled with magic.
Therefore, they have to use a shovel, pickaxe and other digging materials.
The King ordered that when they found the stone, they shouldn't touch it and hide it.
"We can use our magic to dig." Julius Mirahelios is suggesting to use magic to make it more efficient.
"When you does that, your magic will get absorbed by the stone before you even completely casted the spell." Fulmen Diaz is saying that it is not possible.
"Oh… You're right." Harold Argen tested and realized.
"Huh? Maybe the stone is over there!" Clair Alian thought that the stone maybe down there in that hole.
The King headed over there after the Elite Mages reported.

May Gem used to be a professional computer programmer in her previous life, after she meet her tragic fate, she was reincarnated in another world where magic exists.

As May Gem and her parents doubted that her magical powers will arouse, she was exiled at the Kingdom in advance before the real day of expulsion.

As of that day, she'll face risks on her way and travels until she found what she's searching for.

Arthur headed down the direction of the neighing, and the ground became easier to traverse as the rockier ground flattened out as he headed inland. Arthur didn't really know where he was headed, he was merely following the sound of the horse. However, with something handy known as the GPS on his phone, he was not worried about getting lost. Locating K was of a greater importance.
Arthur waded through some thick weeds before he finally found his destination. 
The lagoon was like a piece of paradise, it was the most beautiful place Arthur had ever seen in his life. The lagoon was only the size of a normal swimming pool but it was gorgeous. The area by the shore was cool and breezy with the shades provided by the line of coconut trees. Arthur realized the lagoon was ringed in by a line of rocks that he would have reached if he continued his earlier trek through the boulders. 
The sand on the shore looked positively golden, burnished by the sun. The water of the lagoon was so clear that Arthur could see into the bed without any problem. As Diana said, the lagoon was very well-hidden so Arthur was the only person there. 
Arthur would have been captivated by this glorious sight if not for something even more amazing capturing his attention. Standing in the middle of the lagoon was a powerful-looking mare. Its coat was light brown, shining as brightly as the golden sand. Its mane was long and it was braided with seaweed and sea grass as it trailed into the water. Arthur swore he could spot some shells and corals intertwined within the mane as well. 
Arthur thought about wading into the lagoon with his open arms to grab K and bolt back to the Midnight Emporium to complete the petition but before he stepped out from behind the coconut tree, Diana's warning rang in his head, "be careful."
Diana did not seem like a malicious spirit and she did help Arthur locate K which was indeed at the hidden lagoon. She seemed like someone trustworthy so Arthur gave himself some pause to consider the warning that she gave him. 'Why would she tell me something like that? Was she hinting at the possible dangers that K might cause? But the animal looks so friendly and innocent...' 
To be safe, Arthur continued to observe K. Then, he realized he had misjudged something. When K pranced through the water, Arthur noticed K's hooves were floating above water. Earlier, he assumed K was standing within the lagoon but now he realized, the horse was actually standing above the water!
'So the horse is a mythical creature as well.' Arthur thought to himself, 'I suppose that makes sense, why would Miss S. hire me to find a normal horse.'
If K was a mythical creature then Diana's warning might not be unfounded. Arthur knew even the most unassuming magical beings could deal serious damage to him. In horror flicks, those cute porcelain dolls were often the most cruel killers so one could never judge these beings by their appearances. 
Arthur understood the virtue of caution. He hid behind the tree and took the phone out from his pocket. He needed more information. If he knew what kind of mythical beast K was, perhaps then he would know how to deal with him. 
The lagoon might be hidden but at least it had cell phone and internet coverage. 
He put in the keywords, mythical horse into the search. Arthur should have known most of the result would be on Pegasus. There were plenty of iteration of Pegasus especially since it was a favoured theme among modern media. However, the consensus was that Pegasus had a white, shining coat and its defining feature, the pair of wings. 
Arthur turned away from the online images of Pegasus and looked at K that was happily playing in the water. 'Definitely not a Pegasus.' Arthur confirmed. There were pages of results to go through before he could find a match for K. Pegasus was too famous for its own good. 
Arthur needed a second keyword other than mythical horse to narrow down the search. The young man combed his mind and he was suddenly reminded of the word that accidentally slipped Diana's lips when Arthur asked her about K, it was the word, "kelp". 
Just to try it out, Arthur added the keyword, kelp to his search. To his surprise, he seemed to have landed on the answer. 
Kelpie, a shape-shifting aquatic spirit in Scottish legend. Its name is most likely taken from the Gaelic word, 'colpach' or 'cailpeach', meaning colt of heifer. It usually takes on the form of a horse and it haunts places near water like rivers and streams. 
As tame as one might act, Kelpies are malevolent creatures. According to legends, once you ride on its back, it will not allow you dismount. It will then proceed to drag you into a watery grave. The victims are submerged in water and later eaten as food. 
Arthur shivered reading the description of Kelpie online. The appearance of K, its favoured habitat and the name itself fitted the property of a Kelpie perfectly. So Miss S. had sent him on a petition to find a man-eating horse. 
Arthur was thankful for his own caution and Diana's word of warning. He would have died if not for that. The article was still not yet done so Arthur continued reading, hoping that it would provide him with the solution on how to deal with K. 
He was in luck that day because the article really did. It said, Kelpie has an unexpected weak spot, its bridle. Those who can get hold of a Kelpie's bridle will be able to tame it and have command over it. 
Putting the phone down, Arthur peeked his head out to examine K in the lagoon. He did spot a line of seaweed hanging underneath the horse's neck. Arthur supposed that was K's bridle. 
Now how was he going to grab hold of that without putting his life at risk?

Officially stopping the book to rewrite it into "the Disciple of Aoide", a similarly-themed book that is more WN style.

Mu Xiaoxiao disentangled herself from his embrace and glared at him. "Isn't it all your fault? You were always fighting with me, and provoking me. It was Ah Ze who comforted me afterwards every time.
Yin Shaojie's lips twitched but he didn't say a word.
As Mu Xiaoxiao recalled her childhood, she snorted at him and said, "There were a few times when you made me really sad. I ran here to cry and it was Ah Ze who found me and gave me a lollipop to coax me."
"Alright, can we not talk about this anymore? It's my fault. I was wrong in the past. Happy?" 
They had fought when they were children and he had made her cry, but had she not thought about who had caused her to cry?
Never mind, it was all in the past anyway. Ah Ze was no longer here and there was no meaning in talking about the past.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and leaned over. Poking his chest with her finger, she said, "It was your fault!"
Yin Shaojie caught her finger and pulled her close with a swing of his arm.
"Let's not fight because of him anymore, okay?" His thin yet sexy lips said softly beside her ear.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her little head. "Okay."
Yin Shaojie turned his head and kissed her cheek.
"Didn't you say you were hungry? Shall we go for food?"
The sun gradually sunk over the horizon. Night fell and the sky darkened.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head.
Yin Shaojie released her. Holding her little hand, they left this place.
The grass by the grave swayed gently in the night breeze.
...
After showering.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat behind the computer desk, staring at the computer screen. There was a faraway look in her eyes and it was evident that she was daydreaming.
She shook her head and came back to her senses.
She thought of something suddenly. Holding the mouse, she opened a web browser.
She searched Jun Zeye's name on Baidu.
However, the search results only mentioned novels. There was no other content.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin with a hand and sighed.
"How are you supposed to search up information on someone…" She mumbled to herself, looking like she had a headache.
She thought for a while before going into Weibo again and searching Jun Zeye's name. If she was lucky, she would be able to find some information.
She didn't know why she was so mindful of this Jun Zeye guy. Was it because his name shared a word with Ah Ze's?
Could he have some relation to Ah Ze?
The memories of her childhood were too distant. She had already forgotten if she had asked Ah Ze about his family.
 After Ah Ze passed away, she got to know Qiqing and the rest. Making new friends helped her moved on from Ah Ze's death.
Thinking about Ah Ze made her tear up uncontrollably.
She used the back of her hand to wipe the tears that threatened to fall.
Suddenly, she felt someone lean against her back.
"You think that this Jun Zeye guy is related to Ah Ze?" Yin Shaojie's low voice rang out beside her ear.
He knew her best.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't conceal anything. She nodded. "I do suspect it a little…"
Today, Jun Zeye had ignored her in the morning, but in the afternoon his behavior became weird and he appeared beside her all the time.
It seemed like he had received news that KO was looking for her at noon, and afraid that KO would harm her, he had stayed by her side to protect her.


As childhood sweethearts, they were made to engage under the manipulations of their families. It involved having to to live in the same room and sleep together.

One night, she is accidentally made drunk, and in his delirium, he kisses her only to realize he enjoys it. From time to time, he would sneak a kiss on her, but his “crime” is eventually discovered in an accident. After being accused by her, he says with a smile, “You are my wife, why can’t I kiss you?”

The two people’s daily routine is full of bickering and mutual discrediting of each other.

Although he claims to disparage, he actually cares intensely about her. He feels crazily jealous when she is close to other men, to the point of tying her to his side, so that she becomes exclusively his.

Chen Jin Chan was unclear of what Shen Lian had said, on the contrary, he became more confused and asked: 'what is determination?'
Shen Lian laughed: 'To know what you want and what you do not want, is determination. Any creature satisfying this condition can be regarded as a human.'
Never would Chen Jin Chan thought that the answer could be so simple, upon contemplating, he understood. To know what one wants, perhaps an easy task for most; but to know what one does not want, few would be able to do this.
To know a lot would be the prerequisite, and one needs to be able to abandon all external falsehoods that override human nature, only then one can clearly know what one wants and does not want.
Master spoke of determination, but in actuality, he is still passing on the Dharma of immortality.
To live a long time does not equal to immortality. Real immortality is to know what you want and what you do not want and to live forever knowing it.
You will gradually grow numb and lose yourself if you do not grasp the concept, no matter how long you live. You would not be able to tell the difference between yourself from the mountains, rocks, and trees.
The more he pondered, the more his admiration grew. He understood why Master was loved by the people of the school of cultivation because someone like him would be revered no matter what.
It snowed outside, the land was covered in a thick blanket of white. Shen Lian left the bamboo residence, the starlight on his body flowed to the snow, glittering and moving. Chen Jin Chan saw the words written by his Master - 'Ling Tai Fang Cun Shan, Xie Yue San Xing Dong'
This is a word puzzle, the upper part of the character 'Ling', when combined with the word 'Chun' from the word 'Fang Chun', will form the word 'Xun', which meant search; and Xie Yue San Xing, after opening one's heart, would form the word 'Xin', which mean heart.
Together, it would form the word 'Xun Xin' - meaning to find one's heart.
Master is a human, he would already have a heart, that means 'in search of a heart' was meant to be written for him. But there was no other person here but his master and him, could it be that it was meant for him? But that could not be right, because the master had already spoken to him about determination.
Then who is the person 'in search of a heart'? and where is the 'heart'?
Not only is their snow on Taiyi Peak, Jiemo Peak was also snowing, similar to goose feathers, it was a heavy snowfall. And it was particularly appealing during the cold night.
Similarly appealing would be Zhao Xiao Yu. In the snow, the Jimo peak was empty. Ever since the appearance of the demonic order, Luoism had no power to resist. Therefore, Zhao Xiao Yu reluctantly gave up all the territories and allowed the backbone of the team to take refuge in the north and the south, choosing to remain at Jimo alone.
She has seen countless snowfalls in her life, but never once had she found the peace of mind to watch and admire the snow-filled night
Now that there was nothing else plaguing the heart, she could let go of all that is, with only the snow filling her mind.
To pour your heart and into something no matter how important it is can be the most satisfying and pleasurable thing. This was something she had never experience before, something she hopes to experience more often from now on.
Time was lost, snow continued falling between heaven and earth. She could hear no sound, without realizing, the noise between heaven and earth had ceased.
She understood deeply that it was not the sound that had disappeared, but her sense of hearing had been covered.
It was unbelievable, it was as if a person who was fully conscious who had her ears cupped by another person, which took a while for her to realize.
Zhao Xiao Yu did not panic, or it could be said that she expected this to come.
"You are going to die."
Her gaze seemed to be coated with a layer of mercury. She could see through all the truth and falseness. So she saw the person who spoke. It was an indescribable man who seemed inseparable from the dark, quietly walking through the mountainous paths towards her seemingly as a worthy opponent. He followed her gaze and viciously penetrated into her soul.
In the event sprawled endless oceans, violent volcanic lands and various worldly scenes that can be felt.
Zhao Xiao Yu flashed a smile alluringly, and said softly: "Don't the demon lord knows, the divine cannot die."
This man was Yan Xu, the leader of the demonic clan. He was fortune's favored child for three thousand years before Shen Lian is in Qing Xuan. He even had removed Shen Lian's name from the letter of a challenge after the Bier Discourse of Dao on the third of March.
In today's world, everyone cowered before Yan Xu's demonic magic. After all, it was Guagqing that started it. It was said that Yan Xu with had almost uprooted Guangqing, which is comparable to the top celestial schools of the Four Main Daoist sects with his own strength.
To this day Guangqing has only the bare support of the remaining, half-dead Dengfeng Taoist priest and the Taoist priestess of divine aura, with no competent disciples.
This was remembered vividly for a period, but Zhao Xiao Yu did not fill her with the worries and fears.
Yan Xu's Qi dynamic did not impact Zhao Xiao Yu's soul, as if a light breeze had blown against the peak of Mount Jimo, the peak remained unfazed.
"Those who consume Qi lives as a deity, those who do not consume attains immortality as Gods, you have to abandon all religions and faith in the mortal realm in order to attain immortality, but can you do it?" Yan Xu retracted his terrible Qi dynamic as he spoke with a smile.
Zhao Xiao Yu did not spoke but stared at Yan Xu intensely and replied: So you do not have confidence in defeating Shen Lian."
Such insulting words struck into Yan Xu's soul like a sword from heaven.
Yan Xu clapped in response: "Your intelligence is far beyond what I have expected. Indeed, if I had the confidence to defeat Shen Lian, I will not make such a move before the start of the discourse. But you have erred slightly.
Zhao Xiao Yu hesitated and spoke slowly: "You would say that you are a human in every sense of the word and not a demon, then it can be inferred you are saying that you are a person who does not play by the rules. Killing me tonight has nothing to do with Shen Lian, maybe you just feel like killing.
She meted out her analysis calmly as if it had no impact on her. The endless snowfall behind her emphasizing the desolation of her heart.
The pervasive magic could not find any opportunity to invade and taint her divine heart.
Yan Xu, in his indifferent composure, mildly said: 'if Shen Lian is still 'human', he shouldn't have missed you. I am here thinking, if he is close by tonight, perhaps it is the best opportunity to annihilate me, and not die also want to hope to destroy me at a place like Ling Tai Fang Chun Shan.'
Zhao Xiao Yu let out a sigh and replied, "You are wrong, demon lord. Shen Lian is the only opponent that matters in your eyes, but you have forgotten the existence of Zhao Xiao Yu and the Book of Nine Lotus Scriptures, compared to the Dream Heart Sutra, Free from Incarnation and Shen Lian's Art of Spiritual Enhancement, the difference would be unnoticeable.
And he too holds an important place in my heart, could I not do something for such a person such as making you pay the price this night?"
Yan Xu smiled slightly and said: "You really do have a heart."


What is a Daoist Master? One that is imageless in ten directions and vanishes in the six paths; unrestrained by the three realms and the five elements.                                                                                                                                           
After a day at the clinic, Dr. Li Feng met with an accident on his way home. When he regained consciousness, Li Feng found himself in the body of a weak teenage boy who was born out of wedlock, Shen Lian. Who was the father? The mother would not tell. A scripture he found among his mother’s remnants was the only thing he knew about his father.                                                                                                    
The mother came from a wealthy and well known family. When Shen Lian was recalled back to the Shen family, he was entitled for part of the grandfather’s inheritance and businesses. Despite the grand value, Shen Lian did not take a cent with him when he decided to leave the family. Why would he leave this comfortable life behind?                                      
His journey with this new identity brought him into this new world as he travelled between realms in search of knowledge to improve his Daoist skills. As he conquered trial after trial, would he become the chosen one? Will he succeed in becoming the Daoist Master? Only time will tell.

"Good! It's great that Mr. Chen Xiaobei agrees to cooperate!" Zheng Xiongfeng said. "The items that were stolen were 30 combat space jets. A plunder this size could only be hidden inside Storage Spiritual Instruments and nothing else! So, Mr. Chen, if you would, please hand over your Infinite Space Ring so that I could do a search!"
"Alright. Here!" Chen Xiaobei took off the ring and handed it over.
A smile stretched across Lu Mingjun's face when he saw this.
Before he put the ring on Chen Xiaobei's finger, Lu Mingjun had made sure to check that all 20 combat space jets were inside!
That was less than 10 seconds ago, but Chen Xiaobei did not even think twice before he surrendered his ring to Zheng Xiongfeng.
Chen Xiaobei had fallen into his trap. He could never get himself out of this!
Zheng Xiongfeng noticed the expression on Lu Mingjun's face and suspected that something was amiss. So he asked Chen Xiaobei, "Mr. Chen, before I search your ring, I'd like to confirm two things with you!"
"What are they?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"First, did anyone harass you while you were in your room? Second, has anyone touched your Infinite Space Ring?" Zheng Xiongfeng said. "These two questions are crucial. Think very carefully before you answer!"
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "I've been sleeping very comfortably in my room. No one came to disturb me, and no one touched my Infinite Space Ring! I wore it on my finger and if anyone touched it, I would have surely woken up immediately."
Zheng Xiongfeng's brows were furrowed when he asked, "So, you're saying that no one touched your ring, and if the stolen goods are inside, it was not planted by someone else, am I right?"
"Yup!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged again. "I had the ring on my finger the whole time. No one would have the chance to plant anything."
"If that's the case, I'll begin my search! Once the search results are out, there's no changing it!"
 Lu Xiongfeng focused his attention and began to search the Infinite Space Ring.
Lu Mingjun's smile widened at this. He had actually prepared some rhetoric to justify the search but Chen Xiaobei was so cooperative, he did not have to say anything. Chen Xiaobei had thrown himself into the fire without his prodding.
"So, the stolen goods are inside, right?" Lu Mingjun asked impatiently.
He had planted the stolen goods inside himself, and he had even made sure to check that the space jets were inside before he 'returned' it!
Zheng Xiongfeng said nothing, his brows still knitted together as he passed the Infinite Space Ring to the other masters of Thousand Lake's first class nobles.
The ring was passed around, and each person looked inside it. Finally, the ring was returned to Zheng Xiongfeng.
"You have all searched it, right?" Lu Mingjun could not wait any longer and made the executive decision when he shouted, "Guys! Come in and…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Zheng Xiongfeng called out in an even louder voice, "Guards! Come in and arrest Lu Mingjun and the rest of the Lu Family!"
"What?!" Lu Mingjun's eyes widened in disbelief. "Gov… Governor Zheng! What is the meaning of this?"
"There's not a single combat space jet inside Mr. Chen's Infinite Space Ring! There was none at all!" Zheng Xiongfeng said sternly. "That is to say that Mr. Chen has nothing to do with the missing combat space jets! As the people in charge of this mothership, your family will have to bear the responsibility of the missing items!"
"What?! They're not in there? How is that possible? You must be mistaken!"
Lu Mingjun's mouth opened so wide you could stuff a fist into it.
He had put the space jets inside himself! He even double checked! How could they not be inside?
"We've all searched though it thoroughly. There's no way we're mistaken. If you don't believe us, then I will allow you to check it once for yourself!"
Zheng Xiongfeng offered the Infinite Space Ring.
Lu Mingjun took it, and rummaged through it. When he was done, he looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! No way!"
Clearly, Lu Mingjun could not find the space jets inside either.
Other than the few knick knacks that Chen Xiaobei had inside earlier on, there was not a shadow of the combat space jets inside!
"Give it back!" Zheng Xiongfeng grabbed the ring from him. "Now that the matter has been made clear, we can confirm that Mr. Chen is not involved int the case of the missing combat space jets!"
"No way! This is absolutely impossible, governor Zheng! Listen to me, this is a misunderstanding!" Lu Mingjun began to doubt himself as he spoke.
He would never know where the 20 combat space jets went.
"I don't think so!" Zheng Xiongfeng said grimly. "From now on, you, Lu Mingjun has the right to remain silent. Anything you say will used against you and shall be reported, word for word, to the Overlord!"
"I…"
Lu Mingjun looked like he was going to be sick. His palms were cold and sweaty.
He had racked his brain and exhausted his wiles to come up with this ruthless scheme, thinking that he could destroy Chen Xiaobei and everyone who supported him.
Luckily, Chen Xiaobei and his supporters were safe and unharmed. Instead, it was Lu Mingjun and his core family members who would suffer!
What was funnier was that the Zheng Xiongfeng and the Thousand Lakes nobles that Lu Mingjun invited to witness Chen Xiaonbei's crime actually witnessed his instead!
He really shot himself in the foot this time.
Based on Zheng Xiongfeng's character, he would not be lenient with Lu Mingjun and the Lu Family. He would make sure that the case was presented before the Northern Wilderness Overlord. Even if the Lu Family was not destroyed, they would at least suffer a great deal of losses!
"Blaaargh…" Lu Mingjun was so upset thinking about it that he suddenly vomited blood. 
"Heh, Master Lu, isn't it a little too early to be vomiting blood? You'll be doing more of that later on!" Zheng Xiongfeng barked. "Guards! Lock the Lu Family in the dungeon, and wait for the Overlord's orders!"
Because this matter involved the Northern Wilderness Overlord, Lu Mingjun dared not resist his arrest but allowed himself to be taken away obediently.
"Mr. Chen! I'm sorry to startle you!" The anger in Zheng Xiongfeng's had disappeared. He handed the ring back to Chen Xiaobei with both hands.
"You're too polite, governor Zheng. I don't deserve it."
 Chen Xiaobei took the ring back and slipped it back on.
"Why not?! You saved my son Zheng Haotian! You have done us such a great favour, I don't know I can ever repay you!"
Zheng Xiongfeng straightened his clothes, and raised both hands, and gave Chen Xiaobei a bow.
"I…"
Chen Xiaobei did not expect this governor whose ranking was equal to that of the Silver Plume Dong Zhao to be so courteous towards him.
"Mr. Chen saved our family's future! We will always remember what you've done!"
The rest of the first-rate nobles did the same, and gave Chen Xiaobei a deep bow!


In a world of shallow-minded, materialistic mortals, what would one from humble beginnings - whose face had been stomped on, spat on, oppressed for the longest while by the arrogant, pampered upper echelons of society - do, when a mysterious application pops up in a brand new phone that was meant to be the birthday gift of an ungrateful girlfriend? What if the application takes the form of a chatroom where its occupants, bearing the names of mythical, fictional beings, start giving out 'Red Packets'; while spouting nonsense the entire time?

Kuang Kuang Kuang! 

The sounds of a bell rapidly broke through the quiet in the Martial Arts Academy. The alarm sounded especially creepy in the middle of the night.

“Thieves. We have thieves.” 

“Go catch the thief. A thief has jumped over from the girls’ dorm.” 

Everything seemed well-rehearsed. Soon after, dozens of martial arts students rushed out from their dorms. Each of them held a torch and knocked on others’ doors. 

"Get up, we need to catch the thieves!"

A moment after, the shrieking sound came over from girls’ dormitory. 

“Where is my bra?” 

“Ah? My underwear is gone!” 

“Darn it, where did I put my undergarment?” 

The entire academy immediately went into chaos when both dormitories discovered the situation. Martial art boys who were lying on their bed, unwilling to get up instantly jumped out with a surge of masculine adrenaline when they heard about the thief that stole from girls’ dormitory. 

Are you joking? The boys rarely had the opportunity to hang out with the girls. If they did not help them right now, when would the next opportunities come? 

These young boys immediately became hot-blooded and transformed into excited monsters when they heard the thief had stolen girls' undergarments. Moreover, they started to rub their fists and loudly swore in the corridor.

“Darn it, which pervert did this?” 

“Oh my, this is too embarrassing, isn’t it? I am sure that you won’t need to use those things if you want women?” 

“You don’t understand. It’s a fetish.” 

At once, the boys had gathered in the little square that was beside their dormitory and engaged in lively conversation. Meanwhile, Xu Ting stood among the crowd with a solemn face. 

He turned to one of the martial art students that stood beside him and asked: "Li Fei, were you the one that saw the thief first?” 

Li Fei quickly answered: "Yes, Young Master Xu! I was half-asleep and had to use the washroom. I did not want to go to the restroom and did my business at a corner of the wall. When I was half-way through, a shadowy figure suddenly jumped from the other side of the wall. He scared me."  

“Were you able to see the appearance of that thief?” Xu Ting asked again. 

“I did not see him properly because I was half-asleep. But, that thief also saw me. He panicked and ran to this side of the corridor. It was too dark to see where he went.” 

Xu Ting nodded, then spoke in a loud voice: "Everyone, quiet down! Let's all analyze the geographical region. If he ran to this side of the corridor, which is our boys' dormitory. It means this thief is most likely one of us!"

“A thief among us? It makes sense.” 

“A thief within the family is the hardest to guard. Besides, outsiders would not be familiar with our place. I think it is highly likely that the thief is one of us!"

At once, people were discussing among themselves. 

On the side, Zhang Xian, who was Xu Ting's best buddy also added his encouragement: "If the thief is one of us, then it's easy to find him. We will call out all the boys and search each dorm. Since he was in a panic, that thief should not have gone far. Where would he hide the stolen goods?"

"Yes." Xu Ting agreed, "Young Master Zhang is right. Ok, let's divide into three groups. Two of the groups will watch on both sides of the corridor and monitor everyone's movements. The rest of the people will go search the dorm!"

Zhang Xian added on: "I suggest, for those dorms where people have not come out, we need to explore them first. Because these are the most suspicious people.” 

“Ok, let’s do it.” After Xu Ting made a gesture, the boys voluntarily split into three groups and moved out. On the other hand, Xu Ting came to the wall and spoke in a loud and clear voice: "Ladies, please don't worry. We have already begun our investigation. We will immediately report the results to you if we find something."

A cold voice from the other side spoke the moment he had finished talking: “There is no need to wait. I am coming over to investigate the situation myself. Or else you guys might cover for each other.” 

A slim figure flipped over from the wall and stood firmly in the center of the square. She looked at the boys with a cold expression, her eyes filled with disdain. 

“Missy Yun, did you also have your things stolen?” Xu Ting called to her with a smile. 

“Xu Ting, don’t try to get close to me. Let’s start the investigation immediately. The night is long, we must not let the thief run away!” This lady was called Yun Qingyan. She was part of the Wealthy Class Yun family, her family also was one of the three Wealthy Class in River County. Their family shared the same social status as the Wealthy Xu family. Thus, she was a prominent figure among the girls.

Tonight, she was extremely furious because she had also lost two undergarments that she had hung outside.

Xu Ting was not angry even though Yun Qingyan talked back to him. Instead, he smiled and said: “This way, Missy Yun.” 

Yun Qingyan had a much more aggressive style when she conducted the investigation. She glanced around the corridor and immediately kicked open those closed doors. 

When they saw Yun Qingyan had rushed over with murderous intent, these martial art boys who were afraid of trouble and had stayed indoors, only had the time to cover their body with a blanket. They did not even try to talk back to her. 

Yun Qingyan did not let go a corner during her search. After she finished, she then left a word: “Excuse me.” 

She had finished searching through three dorms and arrived at the fourth one. Again, she went up, ready to kick the door. 

However, this time, she did not kick the door open. 

Immediately, Yun Qingyan’s beautiful face became solemn as if it were covered with a layer of frost. 

“Who lives here?” 

Zhang Xian chuckled immediately and said: “Probably the son of the Qin family from Eastwood Town.” 

"Him?" Yun Qingyan gave a sneer because she felt that this guy had no manners. Among the boy’s dorms, the boys had only left their doors slightly open when they had heard that she had come to investigate. However, this guy had dared to shut the door tightly and was not showing her any respect!

Xu Ting gave a meaningful glance to Zhang Xian. He immediately understood as he walked up to the dorm and beat on the heavy iron door: "Son of the Qin family, you are dead! Missy Yun came to investigate, and you are keeping the door shut. Are you scared of something?” 

There was no response after he shouted for a while. 

Yun Qingyan's face became even more solemn. For the first time, she had met a boy that did not show her any respect. And he was only part of the Humble Class!

“Not opening? Then don’t blame me for using force.” 

Yun Qingyan took two steps back and arranged her stance. Just as she was about to kick the door with her full strength, the door opened with a “Kuang dang” sound. It had opened from the inside. 

Qin Wushuang appeared with a sleepy face and muttered while rubbed his tired eyes: "What are you guys doing in the middle of the night?"

His expression showed off his innocence.

Embarrassed, Yun Qingyan withdrew her foot and said: “We were knocking on your door for a while, did you not hear us?” 
 
"Come on, why are you guys knocking on my door in the middle of the night? I was having a real dream of marrying this girl. Now it's all ruined, thanks to you guys." Qin Wushuang rambled and complained in a bold attitude.  

“Stop acting. The girls have had their undergarments stolen. The thief was most likely one of us. If you are innocent, then let Missy Yun search your room. If there is nothing wrong, then you can get on with your dream,” Zhang Xian said with a wicked smile. 

“Search my room? For what reason?” Qin Wushuang rolled his eyes and was unhappy when he heard these words. 

“Qin Wushuang, don’t be so shameless. If you are not allowing us to search, then you must be hiding something,” Zhang Xian added, accusing him. 

“Oh? Does this mean all of you guys are not hiding anything? Why not let Missy Yun search you first?” 

“You talk too much. Does this mean you are not going to let me search?” Yun Qingyan said coldly. 

“It’s fine to search. However, how will I know if this is not a plot against me? If you want to search, then you must search all the boys. If you are only going to search my room, then don’t even think about coming in.” 

Yun Qingyan replied: "Of course I will search all other places after this one. There is no need for you to teach me this."

“No, absolutely no way.” Although Qin Wushuang wore a tired smile, he refused to budge an inch, "They need to give me their word, or else who is going to be responsible if they refuse ?"  

Xu Ting said calmly: “Qin Wushuang, a straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe. Whom exactly are you trying to frame?” 

Qin Wushuang chirped: "I am afraid that some people's feet are already crooked and their shadow is too twisted to be straight. That villain has accused me first. As I said previously, I will only allow the search if you search all the dorms. Xu Ting, why don’t you set an example since you are part of the Wealthy Class?” 

Xu Ting said with a serious tone: “I will not speak a word if Missy Yun wants to search my room.” 

Zhang Xian also agreed: “You can search my place at any time.” 

Without any hesitation, the rest of the people all nodded and decided to show that they were not hiding anything.

Yun Qingyan was already somewhat suspicious when she saw Qin Wushuang standing in the way. She spoke with a cold tone after everyone had agreed to the decision: “You have witnessed everyone’s attitude. Qin Wushuang, don't blame me for using force if you still won't move aside."

Qin Wushuang hated when others threatened him as his smile instantly froze. With a light tone, he said: "I don't care if you don’t have manners. I will allow you to search my room. But remember, I am not doing this to show respect to you. I just want to see who will be the real laughingstock in the end.” 

Usually, Qin Wushuang was courteous with women. However, Qin Wushuang was extremely annoyed by Yun Qingyan's aggressive appearance, superior attitude, and arrogance.  

He smoothly swung the door wide open and revealed the insides of his dorm to the crowd. 

“Do whatever you want. You might be disappointed if you are here to see me making a fool of myself!” 

Xu Ting glanced at Li Fei as he was one of the two people that had stolen the goods from the girls. Additionally, he was one of the people that had strongly accused Qin Wushuang. His eyes immediately shifted to the suitcase underneath the bed when he saw Xu Ting looking at him. 

Eventually, Yun Qingyan's eyes also landed on this bag after her eyes had searched around the entire dorm. She then hooked the suitcase with her foot.

Qin Wushuang sneered: “Missy Yun, if you feel that my suitcase will dirty your hands, then don’t open it. What is the meaning of hooking it with your foot? This is not the right way of showing your noble upbringing, right?” 

Yun Qingyan turned back and looked at Qin Wushuang meaningfully. Her eyes were full of scorn as if she viewed Qin Wushuang as she would a speck of dust. 

While Zhang Xian started to fidget, Xu Ting also stared at that suitcase motionlessly. All eyes were fixed on that briefcase.

Right now, it seemed as if all the evilness in the world was hidden in this suitcase!




In China’s modern martial arts society, Wu Xinghe was history’s youngest grandmaster of martial arts. He was invincible. Because of a strange incident, he was reincarnated as Qin Wushuang, a poor aristocratic boy in an entirely different world with its own set of rules. With his strong will and passion, he began his journey to pursue the highest peak of martial arts!

The main character’s beliefs are:

Never comply with the aristocrats or the rich people, regardless of any situation. To only depend on your own strength because, eventually, you will have the power to be invincible.
