The Adventures Of The Young Master Chapter 447
Advertisement
The princess was surprised to see hear these words. It was exactly her thought. But Jin Rou just destroyed her imagination saying it was pretty impossible. However, she had already thought of this. But she couldn't just let go of such a good item. After all, it was the rumored Box of Algeya!
The Box of Algeya was discovered by Firemage Zenith in the time immemorial. The item had been with him for millions of years until his ultimate death because of a death match. This box was said to have the ability to store plant-type beasts and nurture them in a least amount of time. In other words, the pets that would be stored here would have their power increased by several times!
However, there was a disadvantage for this. It could only store one beast at a time and when a beast was stored, it couldn't be taken out unless you destroy the box.
The Box of Algeya might be useless for most cultivators, but to those who have beasts as their pets, this was a grand treasure to keep. Unfortunately for Shale, the box wasn't meant for her.
She bit her lower lip and didn't say anything. But she was filled with indignation. The treasure was already in front of her yet she couldn't get it because someone told her it was useless.
Jin Rou could see this expression and he eventually sighed, "Fine. If you want to have that box, you may. But don't tell me that I didn't remind you of it."
Again, the princess didn't say anything. It was not like she wasn't willing, she just didn't know what to say. Although Jin Rou had already given his permission, there's was this feeling that she was uncomfortable with.
Jin Rou didn't bother the princess anymore and minded his own business. It was her choice in the end, after all. He just gave her a worthy advice.

He looked at the two items that captured his attention and studied them carefully. These were the two treasures that Jin Rou had taken a liking.
One was a plain flat sword with no engraves or jewels to speak of. It just looked like a normal sword with no power at all. However, experts on Jin Rou's level could determine that it wasn't any ordinary sword. In fact, it could even contend against law swords!
The other was a mirror with golden features. One glance and you could already determine that it was a grand treasure of its own level.
Jin Rou didn't know what to pick. So he asked the king and said, "Between these two, what do you think should I choose?"
Since he was having a hard time choosing, then might as well ask for an advice from a fellow expert.
"Hmmm." The king pondered for a moment. He was taking this seriously. After a few minutes, he answered, "Well, if you are going for a offense and defense at the same time, then you should pick the sword. But if you're going for an ultimate offense, then go with the mirror. If it was me, I'll go with the mirror. After all, I love taking the offense as earlier as possible."
Jin Rou thought of this deeply. Indeed, the two items had their own advantage and disadvantage but their pros toppled everything. After a few seconds, Jin Rou picked the mirror and said, "I'll choose this too, then."
He decided to take the mirror which was capable of taking out a large amount of offense capabilities.
"Good choice." The king praised Jin Rou for his choice. Honestly speaking, the sword was good on its own but it wasn't enough to deter enemies of law's level. After all, it would eventually break after a few hundreds of clashes against them. On the other side, the mirror wouldn't break. After all, it would not have any contact with the enemy. So putting practicality in the front, choosing the mirror was indeed the best choice to have.

Jin Rou smiled and accepted the praise. He was also thinking the same. However, the difference was that upon careful observation of the sword, it wasn't that simple as the king concluded. In fact, it could be the best sword that Jin Rou had seen! But he didn't choose it, as it had many requirements to activate show its final form. Jin Rou didn't have the time for that.
Anyway, it was better for this sword to be remained unknown for the rest of the world. It was better to be kept here rather than see the light and people would go and kill each other for this treasure.
Jin Rou observed the golden mirror on his hand. It was prettier when near and was excluding a tad amount of nobility. It was like it was created for the noble people of the world. After a few more observations, he kept the mirror into his inventory and looked at the king and said, "Thank you."
The king laughed, "You don't need to thank me. It is my responsibility to give you a treasure since you managed to find this place. Besides, it is within the rules. So there's no need to thank me at all."
Jin Rou didn't comment on this but he smiled. He then looked at the princess who was having a hard time and said, "Want me to choose for you?"
The princess was taken aback by this sudden offer. Eventually, she agreed as she couldn't decide what to choose.
Jin Rou scanned those treasures that she had taken a liking to one by one. Then, after a careful observation of the treasures, Jin Rou pointed at a little red rose hanging by the formation, "This is the best treasure I can choose for you. It aligns with you so the compatability will not be a problem. Besides, with your power you can easily maneuver this rose to its ultimate extent."
Hearing this, the princess' heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly chose the rose treasure as if it would be gone after a few seconds.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

(First Draft Old Version) Ruins Of Isulia ~ Book 1 : Awakening of the Emarine
My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version. **************** Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :) I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.

Children of The Sky: Heartcore
In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask. Well, allow me to show you the life of Reynard Foxtale, one of The Children of The Sky. *Warning. For those who don't like lengthy explanations or long talks, this might not suit your taste. However, the setting of my story does not adhere to most of the main stream fantasy/sci-fi settings. So, you might find my ideas unique or a little too weird and complicated or both. Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
