《Exchange Cultivator》Chapter 6: Life's Beautiful with a nightmare
Advertisement
Ye Hao was soaking wet from sweat as he jolted awake from his nightmare, a momentarily second of confusion flashed in his eye's as his muddled conscious gained more clarity differentiating the Real and Dreamworld that he imagined.
Still, he tried getting a feel of his body, reassurance himself after finding nothing out of ordinary, as the nightmare that he had dreamt was too vivid for him to just casually forget about it, he repeatedly reassured himself that people get scared of nightmares because it appears way to real, forget about it, forget about it, forget about it, he mumbled constantly under the breath.
After restoring his mentality with a little bit of motivation and self-talk, he opened his eye with all determination but his mentality shook again after getting a view of his room, he found himself in a different room than he had previously rented.
His heart rate increased, as he realized that horror was not a nightmare, but an actual incident that took place yesterday, he started tensing up recalling that expert gaze that seemed to pierce through him revealing all his secrets, emotions, and thoughts with a single glance, he was discovered when he pretended to faint.
In the morning Yu Xiaolian came to see if Ye Hao had woken up, she walked up to the room where he stayed and entered it without knocking to not disturb him if he was sleeping, she was surprised to discover him sitting calmly on top of the bed in lotus position as he turned his gaze toward her as she walked in.
Ye Hao mentally prepared himself as he sorted out the previous incident and his future action, simply waiting for someone to come check on him, after half an hour since waking up he heard some footsteps coming in his direction and a little figure entered the room without a knock.

He saw the familiar figure he previously conversed with, his entire body shredded as the lingering fear emerged in the back of his mind, he recalled how he got punched in the stomach, strong enough to twist his limbs a little upon impact, he secretly made an oat not to stir up ire of this little lady.
"Are you feeling alright" little loli asked in a soft voice
"yes" he replied, he dared not reply as he wanted to, but only release flames of anger in his heart, he simply wanted to get out as fast as possible because previous little interactions with little lady resulted in him taking heavy blows elongating that time will only result in his doom.
Her face was like an open book as she made a sorrowful full expression, "I'm sorry for what happened previously"
Seeing her sincerely apologize, made the flames of anger extinguish a little.
She again made another apology and explained the situation, he silently listened to what happened, frowned sometimes, and sighed when she finished. As the situation was different than he imagined, he felt his anger sprite up as he thought about that middle-aged man who hit him, but he sighed as a middle-aged man or 'Gao Peng' was at Peak of First Stage Foundation Establishment, whereas he had not even had started cultivating if by any chance he started cultivating won't he still be behind him, that thought made him irritated, unsatisfied with how things are. His expression turned gloomy as he thought about that.
After talking some more with the little loli he asked "So why did you... Came to find me"
"oh, that" little loli sorted her thoughts as she said, "I wanted your help to conform some results of my new pill recipe."
Ye Hao was shocked after hearing her, 'did it mean she is a Pill Master... But how weren't they all old people with crooked backs and white beard and she looks like a kid' he thought more about her and recalled when he first meet her she looked like she was in her adolescent year. He again took a sneak peek at her face conforming to that.

He wondered if 'cultivators had disguising technique, that could change their appearance' he took a guess that to be the truth or what was her actual appearance, but he never voiced his opinion as the 'Curiosity killed the Cat, to sate her thirst' he could be next.
Naturally, Ye Hao was very excited about this, as he had never imagined that he get a chance to meet a Pill refiner and asked to eat pills and conclude their effects and effectiveness, won't they all be beneficial he thought.
He repeatedly nodded his head "Sure" to not let this opportunity slip by he simply agreed to help her.
Later during the day, Xiaolian asked her father "father how did you punish that man"
He flashed a smile, "Yes"
"So how did you punish him"
Instead of replying he simply stepped forward, a grin on his face as he patted her head, then without saying any word he departed as he simply vanished like a ghost.
Little loli stomped her foot in anger, due to her father.
There was no way, he could tell what he did to 'Gao Peng' as that was savagery and cruel.
'Yellow Leaf' town was very lively as a certain individual was discussed by almost everybody in the town, about a certain elite disciple of 'Rising Heaven Sect' who was found chained playing around with his stool in the middle of town and near the recruitment center of 'Rising Heaven Sect'. Gao Peng became the laughing stock of the town, an elite disciple of 'RIsisng Heaven Sect' became a figure of mockery and joke, his fame which was his pride became a curse as this news spread like wildfire, the news got more different and more disgusting as it kept evolving rumor when Sect came to know about the heated debate of town, seeing Sect reputation getting sulled and tarnished by people, a statement was released from Sect about him being expelled as he was mentally not stable and lucrative reward was offered for capture him. A manhunt was taking place to capture him.
He silently cursed that Brat!!! in his heart and swore an oath to take revenge on him.

8 74Redshirt: The Journey
Freedom and Order. Peace and War. Love and Hate. Hundreds of young children awaken in a damaged world, on the brink of societal collapse, witnessing the birth of an omnipotent system. Their roles are pre-determined, yet the very fabric of reality lie in their hands. The order of the world shapes them, just how they are free to shape the world in their disparate visions. Each choice, each action, each word, has consequences that reach far beyond their perception. Freedom or Order; ashes in the wind, or the gilded chains. Updates at least every Monday, Thursday, and every other Sarturday, (from 26/11/2021). This is primarily a story exploring what it means to be human, using a lens of a hopefully real-feeling fantasy world. This story is not a power fantasy or a traditional Litrpg , while it has elements of these genres, it will focus on how these tropes would influence real people and possibly Redshirt will break some of these tropes along the way. There will be a variety of different characters and perspectives, some you hate, some you love, and some that will frustrate. Just as all people do. I don't believe there will be anything overly traumatic or explicit, but it's better to be safe than sorry. There will be some heavy topics explored, the characters views do not reflect the authors; however, if there is an issue in how I present/understand these issues please do tell me, and I will try my best to rectify it.

'Okay let's see if I get this straight then, you touched the rope and gave its essence the ability to move like a snake, then you asked it to do what it did and it...?' "NO! I speak with mind to the hemp and vine, gave its essence the ability. Yes. Ask it to help me. It say sorry for the hurt. Not you I say, not you, you not hurt me. He make you to hurt! He hurt. You no hurt. Help me, free me. Please. Get me keys. It touched the blood on me. I felt it, sad. I felt it anger. I not ask it to.
