The rest of the night Li Ming spent her time sitting on a glass-like smooth platform on the top of the Second Tower of the Moon manor, as she cultivated along with Ruoshan and Lord Yueliang.

In the very middle of the glass-like platform was a runic design that appeared more like a magical hologram to Li Ming.

The three of them settled down in a sort of circle, a triangle to be precise, in the very center of the runic structure.

As they started cultivating, she could feel that her soul was more calm and relaxed which helped her in focusing on her cultivation.

The change that she felt in the spiritual qi was more clear as she felt it entering into her body.

By the time night passed and the birds woke up to welcome a new morning, Li Ming was feeling full energetic.

Not only that but cultivating with the new method which connected her spiritual energy with Ruoshan and Lord Yueliang's spiritual energy, gave her cultivation a boost as she finally broke through to the level of High Cultivator.

"I'll be not in the Han Empire today. I'll either be back tonight or tomorrow morning. If you have anything urgent, which I highly doubt, just find me in the Capital market of the Wang Empire." Li Ming told the two Immortals as they all stood up from their sitting positions.

Li Ming did a few stretches to get her stiff muscles working again.

The fact that none of the two men commented about her clothes made Li Ming satisfied. She wasn't excited about answering their millions of questions just because of her comfy clothes.

She still thought that even after centuries she would prefer to sleep in a pair of pajama bottoms rather than in those tight heavy gowns.

"Are you going to attend the auction?" Ruoshan asked as he watched her making some unique poses. He could feel Lord Yueliang observing her actions too.

To be fair, she could probably be performing some rare and secret techniques to increase her internal energy or physique, but all that his eyes could notice and his mind could understand was that she was looking so adorable while doing that.

"Yep. I'm attending it. That's why I'll be away. And let me warn you, don't you dare disturb me without any reason and that reason couldn't be that you were missing me." Her tone was sharp and full of warning as she pointed her words directly at Ruoshan.

She didn't need to say anything to her Mr. Beauty because she knew he would not disturb her, but the same couldn't be said about Zhang Yong and Ruoshan.

These two loved to appear in front of her at the most expected and unexpected moments.

Ruoshan gave her a hurt look but it didn't do anything to change her mind which only made him huff in sadness.

Li Ming walked up to the Moon Deity and circled her hands around his shoulder, locking them behind his neck as his hands lightly rested on her waist.

"Thank you so much. I hope we will meet again soon. I want to learn more about you and your world, of course only if you are comfortable in telling me. If not then we can always wait." Li Ming softly spoke as she looked into those cerulean eyes.

"As you wish, Little One. I want to know more about my mate too." Lord Yueliang replied in his soft melodic voice.

"You two! I'm here too. At least don't ignore me like that." Ruoshan called out from where he was standing a few feet away from them.

Li Ming turned a little sideways and looked at the Demon Lord who was giving them a sad look.

She signaled him to come closer and it took the Demon Lord barely a two seconds to reach them.

The two of them, Lord Yueliang and Li Ming, adjusted slightly to make space for Ruoshan.

When the Demon Lord was in her reach, she snaked one of her arms around his neck and gave him a soft smile, instantly making the Evernight Lord smile.

"Why don't you join us for breakfast?" Lord Yueliang invited. The mere thought of feeding his mate and taking care of her made the two Immortals happy but then Li Ming immediately rejected the offer with a sorry smile.

"I would have loved to, but I still need to visit the Dongji village before leaving for the Wang Empire. Maybe next time?"

She somehow convinced her two mates and after giving Lord Yueliang a goodbye hug, Ruoshan brought her back to the Dongji village and bid his goodbye.

It was six in the morning when Li Ming entered into her magical mansion.

She immediately freshened up and after changing into a baby pink dress and matching veil, she left for the morning classes.

Just like every day, Li Ming trained the children through their cultivation practices.

Some were doing pretty good, while others were struggling to even understand how to even absorb the spiritual qi.

She was trying her best to keep her eyes on every single child and guide them wherever they were lacking, though it was a very hard job.

Of course, there were other ways to accelerate their cultivation, for example - Pills, potions and elixirs, but she was in no hurry to use them, at least not yet.

First of all, she was still new in the world of alchemy and at the moment there were only two pills that she could refine - Body Cleansing Pills and Healing Pills.

And it's not like she was going to send these children to war. That's why she decided to let their cultivation progress as naturally as it could.

As the class ended around eight-thirty, the children left to start their daily routines in the orphanage.

When Li Ming reached the orphanage, she immediately called six children in her study on the second floor.

After five minutes, someone knocked on her study door. As she asked them to come in, one after another, six youths entered into the room.

Zhou Han, Lei Yong, Lei Xiao Ting, Sue Mei, Zi Yan, and Jin Jing, all of them stood in front of her in a straight line.

What Li Ming liked the most was that all the six of them were looking either confused or curious but there was no hint of fear in their eyes.

[Zhou Han, Lei Yong, Lei Xiao Ting, and Sue Mei were the four candidates that Li Ming had chosen for the roles of her assistants.]

[Zi Yan was the girl whom Li Ming found in the Xiao Tiantang fighting with Mallow and Jin Jing was the girl from the Wang Empire.]

"I have plans for you guys." Li Ming told them after a few seconds, letting her words sink in.

All of them patiently waited for her to continue, no one showed either excitement or worry about what she was going to dump on them.

Their patience made a soft smile bloom on her lips which were covered by the veil.

She looked at her four personal assistants and said, "You guys passed your first test when last time you came up with the strategy for your job. Today, I'm giving you your second test and the chance to get confirmed for the job of my assistants."

The four youths looked at each other and then at Li Ming, all of them nodding their heads.

Li Ming took out six brown packages from the top drawer of her table and placed them on the table.

"Your job will not only need your smartness but also your way around words and your appearances. If you don't know how to talk to a certain person, you will lose. If you talked too politely with a rude person, you are finished and if you talked rudely with them, then again you are finished. Therefore, keep in mind, you need to be aware of your speaking sense and the words that you will use. You can't appear bossy and arrogant but at the same time, you also can't be someone who's easy to push around." Li Ming advised and the four youths nodded their head as they tried to engrave each word of Miss Li in their minds.

"Similarly, you can't roam around in lavish clothes because that will bring too much attention towards you and that's the last thing you all want, right?" Li Ming asked and the four of them hurriedly nodded their heads in agreement.

"Miss Li, don't worry. No one will notice us in our poor clothes." Lei Yong said with a soft chuckle.

"And that's where you are wrong. Do you really think that you can step foot inside any of those shops and inns inside the black market when you will be looking poor? The guards won't even let you enter into the black market." Li Ming told them with a shake of her head.

"Oooh!"

It was quite noticeable that none of the four ever thought about this issue.

Li Ming signaled them to come forward and pick one brown package each from the pile.
