Refining The Mountains And Rivers Chapter 720
Advertisement
In a serene mountain village, huts built low to the ground were piled up in a haphazard mess. Due to a downpour of rain, the crooked village roads had become muddy and difficult to travel upon.
But this didn’t stop the children in the village from playing around. They held wooden spears and wooden swords in their hands, or they hugged grimy dolls and dressed like horses as they ran about in groups.
Their little feet left deep imprints in the muddy ground that were soon covered again.
The muddy road remained a muddy road, without any change at all. It was still dark and dirty.
“Big sister, big sister, stop running so fast, I can’t follow you!”
A loveable and fresh-faced little girl shouted out loud. She was covered in mud and held a steamed bun tightly in her hand. Looking closely, one could see that it was still steaming.
“Haha, little Junjun wants to catch me? Only girls who run fast can grow taller in the future and be liked by big brother and become his most beloved wife.”
In front, the 11 or 12 year old girl turned her head. She had a beautiful oval-shaped face and a finely shaped nose. Her long eyelashes shined in the sun. Compared to the other children who were covered in mud, even though she had been running for a long time she still wasn’t contaminated by any.
The little girl was seven or eight years old. She bit her lips and said, “Big sister, I will definitely be able to run faster. I will grow tall and beautiful and then marry big brother!”
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly staggered. She lifted a hand and covered her mouth with the steamed bun. When she took it away, the white steamed bun had split open. It was like an eye-catching red flower, a rose blooming in the wind.
The little girl’s complexion paled. She looked not too far away at where the edge of the village was. The sky there was a little darker, so even if there were burning flames it was hard to notice.
There, a little courtyard was quickly swallowed up by flames. Three figures struggled in pain before finally revealing a look of release and vanishing. The little girl lowered her head and ate the red steamed bun, a bit of surprise on her face. She quietly said, “It actually failed.”
When the flames extinguished, everything in the small courtyard had vanished from sight. The area had become a completely blank slate, as if it were a missing piece in a complete puzzle. Afterwards, the skies that covered that area slowly faded away. The blank section was swallowed up and the village became complete again.

The big sister walked over and patted her small head. Looking at the bloody steam bun, she asked, “What is this?”
The little girl naively smiled. “It’s a rose steamed bun that mother made for me. It’s filled with flower petals inside. Big sister, would you like to have a taste? It’s very sweet.”
The big sister took a bite and smiled in joy. “It really is sweet!”
The little girl grasped her hand. “Big sister, I’m a little tired. Let’s go back and play some other time.”
The big sister watched her young friend look into the distance. After hesitating a little, she nodded and led her away.
Once they returned to their room and closed the door, the two girls took off their clothes and climbed into bed. The big sister soon became tired and drowsy.
The little girl held onto her chin. Looking at the big sister’s beautiful face, she said in a soft voice, “Big sister, you ate my steamed bun, so I should be able to eat you as repayment, right?”
“Yes…yes…” The big sister mumbled, as if she were talking in her sleep.
The little girl sweetly smiled. “Thank you big sister!” She pulled off the bedsheets and climbed on top of the big sister. After hesitating a little, she bent over.
Chomp –
She sat up, chewing with zest. Dark red blood dripped down from the corners of her mouth. She said, “Even though so many times have passed, my favorite food is still big sister’s nose…”
Beneath the little girl, the big sister’s nose had been gnawed off, revealing the terrifying facial structure beneath. Blood flowed out and dyed her clothes, but she didn’t seem to know what was happening to her.
Chew –
Chew –
The sound of chewing continued for a long time before coming to a stop. After taking one final bite, the little girl patted her belly in satisfaction. She smiled and said, “After a nap I will be fully restored. Then we’ll continue with our game.”
As she spoke she lied down in the blood-drenched bedding and drifted off to sleep.
Night arrived, and then dawn came afterwards. Smoke began to rise from the surrounding chimneys.
The little girl opened her eyes. Her face was ruddy and all of the weakness from yesterday had disappeared. She put on her clothes and pushed open the door to see that familiar figure. She was facing the rising sun, drying her clothes.
Sunlight passed through and outlined the figure of a girl. Although she was young, she still had a slender physique. The little girl looked at her with envy before smiling and shouting out, “Big sister, you came out again!”

The young girl turned around. It was unexpectedly the same young girl who had been playing with her yesterday. The young girl smiled and said, “Little Junjun, it rained last night and many people were playing around in the mud. Would you like to come with me?”
The little girl clapped her hands, “Good, good! I love to play games with big sister the most!”
After being pulled by the young girl, the two of them happily skipped away. The little girl looked at the blazing sun in the skies, her lips rising in a smile.
The game was about to begin again!
…
In the laboratory there were two more beautiful ladies, one of them older and one of them younger. In particular, the younger one couldn’t stop chattering and shattering the silence.
“Qin Yu, you have no idea. This flavor and texture is one of the best meals I’ve eaten in my entire life. I almost chewed my tongue off.” Meimei narrowed her eyes, happiness etched on her face.
Qin Yu had a doubtful look. Could something that ugly really be delicious?
Meimei widened her eyes. “If you don’t believe me then ask big sister Purple Moon. She normally seems cold and aloof, but you didn’t see how she looked when she was eating yesterday. It was simply…”
“Keh!” Purple Moon coughed out loud, glaring at Meimei with a look of embarrassment and anger.
Meimei suddenly stopped speaking. She shrunk back her head and smiled apologetically. But, there was a trace of satisfaction in her eyes. She finally had a little weakness she could use on Big Sister Purple Moon.
Purple Moon turned away, like she wanted to change the topic. She said, “Meimei is right, it was indeed delicious.” A faint blush crept up her cheeks, as if acknowledging the truth of Meimei’s earlier allegations.
Meimei puffed out her chest. “See? I wasn’t lying!”
Qin Yu smiled and nodded, “I’m glad it was helpful to you two.”
When he first saw Purple Moon’s distressed and haggard appearance, he found it quite interesting. Of course, he kept this thought in his heart and would never let them know.
After experiencing how fierce Yun Die could be, Qin Yu realized that provoking women, in particular intelligent and beautiful women, was far too dangerous.
Meimei batted her eyelashes and gave Qin Yu an encouraging look. “You have to try your hardest and attract some more good food here! It would be best if it was like yesterday. I don’t dislike trouble. Really, just feel free, let go, and do it.”
Qin Yu was speechless. Did she really treat him as a human-shaped food finder? But, he wasn’t able to control this.
Those three resentful spirits that appeared yesterday – at least that was what he was going to call them for now – should be related to the hidden influence that was scheming to seize the Chaotic Sky Chronicle. Unfortunately, before he could ask them anything the three resentful spirits were cleanly eaten up by the ‘hungry residents’ within him.
Purple Moon revealed a dignified expression. After thinking a little she said, “Qin Yu, these resentful spirits give me a different feeling, but I can’t say exactly what the difference is. However, you must remember that the master who sent them out isn’t someone good to mess with. I have no idea why you have enmity with this person, but if there is any possibility it would be best to resolve your grievances.”
To put Purple Moon’s word in plainer terms: Hey kid, the enemy you provoked is too strong. Hurry up and admit defeat and apologize, otherwise you will be screwed.
Qin Yu bitterly smiled. He also didn’t want to randomly obtain another powerful enemy. But, even if he wanted to resolve this issue he actually had no idea who they were.
And, how could he resolve this matter?
Could it be that he needed to hand over Yun Die, allowing others to freely harm this disciple of his who worshipped her teacher and respected him so much she was willing to offer herself to him?
He really couldn’t do that.
Glancing at Qin Yu’s expression, Purple Moon could guess what he was thinking. Her complexion turned even more dignified, “Then following this, you should be more careful.”
Meimei cheered out loud and slapped her hands. “If you can’t fix it, that’s great! It’s better if this person continues sending resentful spirits. I’m still so hungry!”
Purple Moon glared at her. This young kid with no chest and no brains, did she not believe her when she said that she sensed some differences with the resentful spirits yesterday? Could someone capable of sending these kinds of resentful spirits be an ordinary character? Eating a loss once was more than enough. There was no way they would make the same mistake twice!
She feared that after this, the enemy would change their strategy. Qin Yu still hadn’t recovered from his injuries and in his weakened state it would be difficult to deal with this new opponent.

This is my first time writing a story, i dont know if you guys will receive it well or not. I started to read LN from NU and RL, and it enchanted me. But unfortunately the author and translator are humans too so they couldnt keep up with my reading rate. From what i had read, i started to imagine what if the world like this, or what if this character had an ability like this or what if the decision the character made was different than the stories. All of that keep coming up as i read, and then a few weeks ago i started to write what i imagine into a new story. Through writing the story i learnt that making a story isnt as easy as imagine. I must think of name, plot, character personalities, the environment, etc. Then one day i decided, fuck it lets post it first and see how it is going to be. To tell you the truth i like chinese martial arts story better but i cant make chinese name since i dont know the language. I learnt from the internet that creating a random name in Chinese is dangerous so i make this story to be Japanese like western story. But i still want to add martial arts and cultivation element to it. I will write what my imagine is like, something will be changed along the way thats for sure but i hope you guys will understand it. Each chapter will at least have 1500 words but i am not so good at english so correct me if there is something wrong with my grammar. I post this so that i can share what i imagine. One last thing, i like OP Main Character and although i dont hate training plot but i dont like weak main character. I hope you like what i write, any critics and suggestion is welcomed so write it on comment section so we can discuss it with the others. Warning For you guys that dont like OP Main Character, bad language, violence, and maybe in the future there will be NSFW content, dont read it For those who seek perfection, you wont find it here Strategy, Business Management, Trickery not my forte so dont seek it here but i will try to make it if possible Character skills will randomly appear as i tried to think what op skill i want for my character so bear with it Plot will be good, well i hope so if not then bear with it

Sector 27
It wasn't until June 3, 2101 that World War 4 ended. This was not a war that ended in peace treaties or truces; this war ended with disease. The atomic war caused plague and disease that crippled major countries. The generals and great leaders of the countries at war died from the radiation that penetrated every part of the globe. It was only then that humanity realized what they had done- what they had created. The first ever mutant was publicly executed the very day the war ended, and a new war began: the war against mutants. The surviving nation of Japan quickly rebuilt their country by dividing it into safe zones, or Sectors. There are currently 26 livable sectors in Japan; Sector 1 is the richest sector and the only sector that has completely rid itself of all radiation left over from the war. In fear against the threat of mutants, the once small section of the police force grew until it became the main police force in Japan. After all, humans shouldn't be blamed for crimes when the real threat to society is mutants. This police force that goes by their motto: Special Treatment Against Mutants (STAM) is comprised of agents that go about their work to capture and detain all mutants. Sector 26 is the poorest sector that humans can barely survive in; but there is one more part of Japan. This "dead zone" has such a high concentration of radiation that if a human were to step inside the barrier, they would die in mere moments. But within this dead zone, this 27th Sector, there lies a secret organization of mutants that fight against STAM and protect all mutants from their grasp. The Mutant Recovery and Protection Agency (MRPA) operates to hide mutants in society and allow them to live human lives. The only thing that stands in MRPA's way is STAM and its agents who hunt them down ruthlessly, so MRPA has their own set of skilled agents. And the battle rages on...
