《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 240: Acquaintance
Advertisement
In a blink of an eye, a month had been passed. There was another month left before the academy recruitment date. The Profound Sky Divine City had become more lively as countless people from various regions constantly poured into the city.
At the southern city gate, a young man with a luxury golden robe just passed the checking process and stepped into the city. If Yun Lintian was here, he would instantly recognize this young man. He was no other than Brother Ye, Ye Xiaolong.
Behind Ye Xiaolong were his two bodyguards that Yun Huanxin had cut their arms back then. They stuck themselves close to Ye Xiaolong, trying to protect him.
"I said, aren't you two a bit too much? The divine city is extremely safe. No one dares to cause trouble here. You don't have to be this vigilant." Ye Xiaolong was helpless. Since the upheaval event occurred four months ago, his Ye clan had risen in rank, and Ye Xiaolong had become the subject worth nurturing by his clan. Hence, the two bodyguards didn't dare to be careless.
"We can't be careless, Young Master Ye." One of the bodyguards said solemnly.
Ye Xiaolong sighed and waved his hand. "Let's go. We need to find a place to stay first. I don't know if we could find one." Looking at the dense crowd on the streets, Ye Xiaolong believed most inns should be full now.
"Yes, Young Master." The two bodyguards said in unison and followed Ye Xiaolong closely.
"Young Master Ye? Is he someone from the Sky Fall Nation?" A distance not far away, a young girl looked at Ye Xiaolong curiously.
"Should be. There's the Ye symbol on his robe." A middle-aged woman beside the young girl said.

"Let's go, Shuiying. We need to find a place to stay too." That was right. The middle-aged woman and the young girl were no other than Lan Ning and Lan Shuiying, who arrived here earlier.
"Mhm!" Lan Shuiying nodded. "I wonder if Brother Ye has come here." She muttered in a low voice.
Lan Ning did not say anything and calmly walked along the street. A month ago, her servant, Tu Cao, had reported to her about Yun Lintian after seeing him not far away from Thunder City. Lan Ning somehow had an intuition. Yun Lintian definitely came here. Perhaps they would meet again later.
***
"Brother, where are we going to stay?" On the commercial street, a young girl looked at her brother worriedly. They had arrived in the city today and spent the entire day looking for an inn to stay. However, the price here was too high. They could not afford a single room here.
The young girl's brother looked around helplessly and did not know what to say. He didn't expect that he couldn't even get a room with all of his savings. The consumption rate here was too terrifying.
"We will find again. There should be a low-cost inn in the other districts." The young girl's brother said.
"It would be great if we could contact Senior Ye." The young girl murmured.
"Chu Mi? Chu Heng?" All of a sudden, a familiar voice resounded behind the siblings. When both of them turned around, they saw Yun Lintian standing in front of a fancy restaurant called "Heavenly Cloud."
"Senior Ye!?" The young girl, Chu Mi, exclaimed in surprise.
Chu Heng was startled for a second before hurriedly bringing Chu Mi toward Yun Lintian.
"I didn't expect both of you to become this powerful in a short time." Yun Lintian was surprised slightly by Chu Mi and Chu Heng's progress. Chu Heng had already reached the ninth-level Spirit Profound Realm, while Chu Mi was at the seventh-level Spirit Profound Realm. It seemed the profound art he gave them worked wonderfully.

"It's been a while, Senior Ye." Chu Heng clasped his fists together while Chu Mi stared at Yun Lintian without blinking. She discovered Yun Lintian's temperament had changed significantly. Right now, he looked like an expert, filling with a mysterious aura.
During this month, Yun Lintian had finally stepped into the tenth level of Origin Profound Realm. If it wasn't because he needed to enter the academy, he would already break through into the Earth Profound Realm.
"Yes, it's been a while now." Yun Lintian greeted them warmly. He felt a bit uncomfortable as he used a fake name before. "Did you two just arrive here?"
"Yes. We are currently finding a place to stay, but who would have thought the price here is too high. We cannot afford it." Chu Heng sighed helplessly. His parents had given them all the family's savings in order to let them come here. However, all of those savings were useless here.
"It's normal. Every place has driven their price up because there are too many people coming in. Even the lowest grade inn would cost you a lot." Yun Lintian smiled faintly. He waved his hand and said. "Follow me. I will arrange a place for you."
Yun Lintian had a good impression of these siblings. He intended to help them out.
"This…" Chu Heng hesitated. He didn't intend to complain and ask for Yun Lintian's help.
"Come on. If you're uncomfortable, just working for me here." Yun Lintian saw through Chu Heng's thoughts.
Chu Heng and Chu Mi were taken aback and glanced at the magnificent building in front of them.
"This place belongs to Senior Ye?" Chu Mi subconsciously asked.
"Yes. Follow me." Yun Lintian said and walked into the restaurant.
Chu Heng hesitated for a moment and finally followed Yun Lintian along with Chu Mi.
When the two of them stepped into the restaurant, they were stunned by the elegant decoration. Their first impression was that a single meal here should cost their entire savings. However, when they looked at the customers in the dining hall, they were dumbfounded because they were wearing cheaply. They did not look like someone with a huge sum of money.
"Brother, look at the price." Chu Mi tugged her brother's sleeve and pointed at the menu board nearby the long counter.
Chu Heng followed Chu Mi's gaze and was stunned once again. The prize of a single dish here was only twenty silver coins. Although it was still expensive for him, it was much cheaper than any food stall outside.

Synopsis: Hawkin found his place in the world, far from humans and monsters. He abandoned the adventuring life long ago and left civilization, opting for peace and isolation instead. After ten years out in the northern forests, he befriends a strange creature and his life changes. A traveling trio of monks then show up in Hawkin's woods and share with him the best beer he's ever had. After that beer, Hawkin wants to do nothing but accept the brewer's path and brew. This story is intended to be slow and easy. It involves a slow progression of power and brewing more powerful beers. There is occasional conflict.

8 458Unlimited Evolution [New]
“If anything can go wrong, it’ll go wrong”—Alex found the truth of this quote the hard way when his Thursday evening was ruined by a blinding golden light. Thrown to war against his wishes, in a world that was not his own, he didn’t even survive the first day. But, death was not his sweet retreat. It was just the beginning. Reborn as an Imp in the hellscape of a dungeon, Alex’s life just got more complicated. In a place where you are food to other monsters and a lump of EXP to humans… survival was nothing but luxury. But Alex will survive. He will squeeze every last bit of potential from his [System] and work his way up the ladder of the food chain until he is strong enough to step out of his prison. The first step to such a lofty goal is to conquer the menace of goblins. Unlimited Evolution narrates the struggles of a young man from earth who gets the short end of the stick even in a different world. After a betrayal that resulted in his death, he wakes as a monster in a dungeon where even his fellow monsters saw him as nothing but food. The story will be a little slow-paced in the beginning and the battles will be calculated, brutal, and short. The litRPG element will be there and the system plays an important role in world-building. I'll try to explore each and every character I introduce as much as I can. Hopefully, I do a good job in that aspect. **I hope you enjoy this book of mine.**

8 91The Verant Chronicles - Book One
The once powerful Verant Empire had been brought to its knees after seven years of civil war. The war maybe over, a new emperor maybe at the helm, but the empire remains broken. Deadly plagues, encroaching monsters, divided political loyalties only scratch the surface of the problems the empire now faces. Highwaymen make the roads unsafe, powerful wizards go unchecked and goblin hordes threaten local towns and villages. Elwin doesn’t want to spend his days as a farmer and dreams of adventure. He, his brother Rith, best friend Emerson and adopted cousin Anna, decide to go out into this world as adventurers hoping to seek fame and fortune just like in the books they read. The empire is at a crossroads as Elwin and his friends experience the aftermath of the war, they must come to terms with what it means to live in the Verant Empire as one of it's citizens. It all begins with an intriguing map sewn into cloth, written in a strange language and depicting a place that doesn’t seem to exist. Elwin and his friends decide to go to the capital city to join the adventurer’s guild and find someone who can translate the map and hopeful recognize the locations depicted. Along the way they encounter lizard creatures, goblins, former soldiers, a bard, druid and a powerful wizard who has his own eye on the map. They meet new friends and create deadly enemies. From great plains to a bustling metropolis, to a town devastated by an earthquake, their world of Gaia has a gritty realism to it and the empire is only a small part of a much large realm. It is a Romanesque world teetering on a renaissance in which Gods, gunpowder, armored knights, griffin riders and magic coexist uneasily. Elwin and his companions drink, they swear, they have sexual encounters, they make mistakes and face serious moral dilemmas at every turn. Planned out to be 30+ chapters in total including a prologue and epilogue. Chapters will be released about twice a week when possible.
8 335A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.
