《*DISCONTINUED*》Chapter 16 : Luo Ai
Advertisement
Feng Xing opened the door. Everything indeed was tidied up more than the last time he saw this room. Rou Xue was currently sitting on the bed cultivating. It seems to be that she is actually using a cultivation manual. Feng Xing recognized it immediately. It was the . A supreme cultivation manual, by cultivating with this manual she would be able to boost her power tremendously after breaking through to the Martial Path realm, especially combined with her bloodline... her power and physique would be terrifying.
Feng Xing moved closer and stared at the current cultivating Rou Xue. White Energy revolved around her, she suddenly felt like she was being watched. Her face twitched a little bit, but her eyes were still closed. Feng Xing looked away and also sat down to cultivate, at some point she will wake up anyways.
In this manner two hours passed by within a blink, Rou Xue was starting to open her eyes. Her cultivation session was almost enough to let her breakthrough to the Martial Path realm, she knew sooner or later she would atleast be able to step into that realm.
"...Eh.." Rou Xue opened her eyes just to see someone across her cultivating...
"......"
Feng Xing seemed to notice that Rou Xue was done, and also woke up, they were now staring at each other, Rou Xue didn't know what to say and worried that she has been found out, while Feng Xing seemed to be amused by this.
...The silence remained for a good while... suddenly Rou Xue couldn't stand the silence anymore. She broke the silence by saying : "For how long have you been here?"
She stared intensely at Feng Xing.
"Hmm, I just entered the room. Why?"
After hearing that Rou Xue had a moment of relief, "Sigh... next time I definitely won't try to breakthrough again carelessly..."
Previously, after she was done with cleaning, she felt that the moment was right to breakthrough. She felt way to tempted so tried it, she didn't expect Feng Xing to return this fast though...
Luckily after hearing Feng Xing's words, she felt relief. He couldn't have seen her cultivate right? That's what Rou Xue thought. Unfortunately for her Feng Xing didn't only see her cultivate, but also knew that she cultivated with a special cultivation manual. This was something that Rou Xue would not know.....
"Not bad, although there are very little changes... it got less messier atleast." Feng Xing smiled, he approved of her cleaning skills currently.
For some reason Rou Xue felt very proud of herself after hearing Feng Xing's words.
"Of course." Rou Xue smiled brightly, as if she finally got acknowledged by Feng Xing.
Feng Xing looked at her with weird eyes, but that didn't matter he quickly changed his look. It was time to ask her an important question, since she was his maid. She also deserved to get guided personally by him.
"Say... you. Would you like to explore the Dao of Alchemy?"
"Dao of Alchemy?" Rou Xue had a bewildered look on her face, she probably never heard of this before. Well it was normal considering her cultivation base currently. Feng Xing immediately changed his words, so it was considered understandable for the current her.

"Hmm, you seemed like you wanted to become a high rank Pill Master?" Feng Xing asked.
"Oh, of course I want to become a high rank Pill Master! Who doesn't?" This seemed to be one of Rou Xue's current goals, that's why Feng Xing asked. He noticed that she was pretty confident and passed the previous test pretty fast compared to a normal person.
"Hehe, that's good then. I can teach you if you want guidance." Feng Xing said while smirking, Rou Xue obviously sneered at the sight of this. Who did he think he was? Only passing the simple test with a fast speed doesn't mean that he can teach pill concocting directly.
"No, thanks. I don't need any guidance currently." Rou Xue refused the offer immediately with no hesitation, although she believed Feng Xing was out of the ordinary, but he couldn't also be good in pill concocting just as his martial prowess right? Otherwise.... he would be a crazy genius.
Feng Xing seemed to be a bit disappointed in Rou Xue's answer, but it wasn't to important. It was her own choice after all, he wouldn't force anyone. He would give them a chance, but if they refused, then he wouldn't go any further. He slightly felt that Rou Xue would sooner or later still want his guidance. Feng Xing smiled after thinking it through.
"Hmm, I see. That's unfortunate." Feng Xing kept the smile and said nonchalantly like it didn't matter at all.
"It's about time I go, it's getting late." Rou Xue stood up and prepared to leave.
"Ehh? Your room is just right beside mine, why not stay for a bit longer? Your Master also needs some company..." Feng Xing asked teasingly, Rou Xue seemed to be disgusted by his attitude. It was normal after all, but Feng Xing didn't seem to mind this. He just wanted to see her reaction and how their relationship currently was. Just as expected... she hated him probably.
"No, thanks. Bye." She left and closed the door leaving Feng Xing alone. Feng Xing suddenly remembered something, but didn't do anything and continued cultivating. He was approaching the 8th Rank of the Martial Path. Soon he would reach it!

The Realm of Gods
In a desolate area that seemed to be completely destroyed by something... currently were two figures standing across each other. Two heavenly beautiful women were currently battling each other, one of them had a tattoo on their arm that resembled a dragon, while the other had pure white hair and deep eyes that seemed to contain the universe and dao itself. They both seemed to use all their daoist magics, battle skills, and Dao understandings! After a very long time, one of the two suddenly fell on their knees...
"Haah..." The girl who was currently standing was the one with the tattoo, she was panting a bit, but right after she smiled a deep cold smile full with hatred towards the girl who was currently on her knees, unable to stand up.
"Hahahaha! Even you can't defeat me currently! With the power I've gained from the Dragon God!" The girl with the tattoo shouted at the girl, the other girl currently had an unyielding look.

"You... slut... after betraying him... you even joined... the Dragon God's group.." The girl seemed to have a deep hatred for the girl with the tattoo.
"Shut up! What do you know about me!?" The girl immediately rebuked.
"He only showed you good will! He never cared about me at all in the end!"
After hearing that. The girl who was kneeling down suddenly had a confused expression on her face and said : "What are you talking about? He was the one who saved you and cared for you!"
"Hmph, Luo Ai... what would you understand! Well it doesn't matter since... it's time for you to join him." The girl showed a cruel smile, she deep full killing intent.
After hearing those words, Luo Ai immediately used a treasure that wasn't supposed to be used! Her last resort!
"You!" The girl with tattoo suddenly speeded across and quickly wanted to finish her off.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuuuw
Blinding light suddenly appeared from Luo Ai, and she suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and disappeared right after. The girl with the tattoo was to late and could only attack air...
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!" The girl screamed like a crazy beast. She knew that the treasure Luo Ai used was a common one, but nobody in the Realm of Gods would use that one... as it would reduce your cultivation base by atleast a full realm! She couldn't chase her either... since she went to the Realm of Mortals! Only by reaching the Ascension Realm once again could one return to the Realm of Gods... but that was easier said than done! Nobody would risk going back to the Realm of Mortals! Reaching the Ascension Realm was as hard as reaching the heavens!
"......" The girl quickly faded away into thin air. Her job was actually done... Luo Ai was no longer here in this world atleast...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feng Xing suddenly felt his heart tingle slightly... he woke up from his cultivation and frowned... he checked his body all over, but couldn't find anything weird with it. After a while he paid it no attention and continued cultivating throughout the night. What he didn't know was that someone he knew actually descended down to the Realm of Mortals...
Suddenly blinding right flashed in a forest not to far from the Southern Nantian Kingdom, after the light ended a girl was currently almost unconscious. She immediately didn't care for her whereabouts and tried to heal herself with pills. She also talked to someone in her head for a while. They seemed to be figuring things out.
A few hours later.
The girl currently was cultivating to heal up ... she still was bleeding a bit from her mouth. The internal injuries she received were not healed completely yet. It would take a few years for it to heal completely, but she still consumed her best pills. She finally opened her eyes, this girl was Luo Ai...
"....My cultivation base..." She sighed... she dropped from the 4th Rank of the Ascension Realm to the... 4th Rank of the Dao Realm and she was even weakened! Although the Dao Realm was already an unreachable realm for many people...
For her.. the strength of a Dao Realm cultivator was like an ant compared to her previous strength. It was painful, but she didn't regret her choice... she would of have been dead by now if she had not done that. Suddenly she heard a voice in her head.
"Master! Summon me now, It's important!" A soft quiet voice resounded in her head. She seemed to be a bit confused, but still summoned a creature that looked like a huge cat with dark blue fur. The beast seemed to have sensed something.
"What's wrong, Dio?" The girl asked curiously, what was so important in this lower Realm? There wasn't anything interesting at all, but Dio still seemed to be concentrating.
"I sense someone familiar... but no.. it can't be!" The beast named Dio seemed to have a shocked expression.
"What? Who is it..." Luo Ai seemed to be very curious now. Who would be familiar? This was the Realm of Mortals, it had been quite a while since she last was here...
"...He's supposed to be dead... but I have to see it with my own eyes. Only feeling his soul wouldn't be enough to confirm it!"
"Dead? Who are you talking about?" The girl frowned, Dio still didn't answer her. Dio seemed to be way to shocked.
"Master... do you remember... Jiang Hao?"
"Of course, I do... but what does that matter currently... besides he's already..."
"The soul I just felt could be his since it's just so familiar!"
"What!?!?! That's impossible! I saw him die with my own eyes!" Luo Ai had an expression of disbelief on her face, but somewhere deep in her heart she hoped that it was truly him. Slight tears fell out from her eyes when she remembered him once again. That one person she was indebted to for the rest of her life...
In his last moments, she could do nothing... but stay at the sidelines to watch.... everything unfold itself... powerless to help. She truely hated herself for being to weak that moment...
At the thought of possibly seeing him once more, her heart tightened.
"Where is it tell me!"
Dio immediately gave her the location, suddenly she and Dio immediately disappeared into thin air. Teleportation was used to immediately travel through space to reach their destination fast. Dao Realm cultivators usually use this to travel very fast! Although Luo Ai was weakened, simple teleports were still easily usable.
"Hmm?" Feng Xing opened his eyes. He felt something... suddenly... two figures appeared in his room...

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *

Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return
On the distant world of Mendala, a rash of mysterious attacks have left many towns destroyed, and there are rumors of an army of monsters. Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
