《Path of the Lilies》62. Destroy Everything
Advertisement
Ye Ai Xia could feel the Eon Energy entered her body at rapid speed. At the same time, the condition of Wei Shang’s residence has become a complete mess. The shockwave that she caused destroyed a lot of things, including the buildings.
Slowly, Ye Ai Xia opened her eyes. She could sense that everything around her had changed. Things that she was unable to sense before become awfully clear in her eyes and mind.
Her eyes landed on Su Lian. That woman was not far from her when she advanced, causing the woman to be badly wounded.
“You-!” Su Lian was terrified. It was rank 4! Rank 4!
She felt deep envy and hatred at this woman. Why was it that everyone around her always had better talent than her? She could never defeat them and always subjected to the lower rank!
It was unfair!
Ye Ai Xia looked at Su Lian indifferently before stretching out her hand. “Su Lian, do you know what’s worse than death?”
“What?”
“It’s this,” Ye Ai Xia used her Eon Energy, making numerous formless wind blades. In split second, they pierced straight to Su Lian, destroying the woman’s core. The supposedly durable core of a rank 3 was destroyed just like that! Eon Energy rushed out madly from her core, which Ye Ai Xia conveniently absorbed.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Su Lian screamed loudly. It was painful and when she saw the Eon Energy leaked out of her stomach, despair enveloped her.
“No! NO! YOU B*TCH!”
Ye Ai Xia ignored Su Lian as she swung her hand once again, cutting the guards around them in two, right in their abdomen. Eon Energy filled the surroundings and Ye Ai Xia pulled it into her own body to nourish her advancement.
At this time, Wei Shang was dumbstruck. The scene where Ye Ai Xia reached rank 4 cleanly and then killed the others was exceptionally beautiful in his eyes. Right now, he couldn’t see anything but this woman before him.

“Ye Ai Xia,” he called.
Ye Ai Xia turned her head, but she didn’t stop her action of absorbing the massive Eon Energy in her surroundings. Her gaze was cold and indifferent as she looked back at Wei Shang.
“I will never accept your proposal.”
“You’ll accept it,” Wei Shang licked his lips. “I’ll make sure that you do.”
“No, you won’t,” Ye Ai Xia smiled mirthlessly. Eon Energy formed in her hand as wind element started to gather around her. In the next second, she punched forward, straight in Wei Shang’s direction.
“You will never have the chance, Wei Shang.”
Wei Shang was not worried as he kicked the ground. Eon Energy extended from the tip of his feet as it was absorbed and then formed a large wall right in front of him.
“I’m earth elemental, so you’re pretty weak against me, Ye Ai Xia,” Wei Shang chuckled. “But it’s really something amazing. I didn’t expect someone like you to directly use the power of the element when you advanced to rank 4.”
Ye Ai Xia didn’t reply. She just focused her attention to her Eon Energy before she started to attack Wei Shang brutally without any care of the situation at all.
Wei Shang also welcomed her with a smile. He was rather happy that he could fight against Ye Ai Xia once again.
The two of them completely ignored the dead guard and Su Lian, who was still in the midst of despair because of her core. Once their core was shattered, they would have to start from the beginning again. But with her age and talent, she knew that forming another core would be nothing but a dream.
‘Ye Ai Xia! I’ll kill you!’
She screamed inside her mind as despair filled her entire body. She wished for nothing but killing them all. They had turned her into a waste in mere second.

The fight blasted everything around them. Wind and earth element shook the entire surrounding, crushing numerous buildings in Wei Family Residence. The people ran out of the fighting area in fear of getting involved.
“Ye Ai Xia, you won’t be able to last long. Just give up and be mine,” Wei Shang licked his lips. “I’m already patient enough to wait this long.”
Ye Ai Xia’s face scrunched a bit in disgust. “In your dream!”
With that, their Eon Energy clashed once more.
…
When they were making large ruckus in the main residence, Su Daji headed into the residence and searched for the young girl. Her brows furrowed when she couldn’t sense the little girl despite being Eon Energy Master Rank 3. Little did she know that Ye Jiao had left the residence long ago.
From the moment her mother released her anger, Ye Jiao ran to the forest. She knew that her mother might not pay any attention to anything else when she was angry, so her only option was to escape and hide as far as possible.
Her small legs brought her to the edge of the forest where she could see the large scale destruction of the buildings in front of her. A lot of people were running here and there, trying to avoid the center of the fight. If they get caught up in the middle of that storm, they might lose their life.
Ye Jiao stopped right at the entrance of the forest. Her eyes looked at the servants around her as she realized that she might be in danger if they found her. If they used her as a hostage for her mother, she wouldn’t be able to do anything. The current her was still very weak, and she didn’t have any trick under her sleeves except basic combat.
“She’s there!”
The familiar sound of a boy sent chill to the back of Ye Jiao’s body. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Wei Cheng and Wei Liao running in her direction. Wei Cheng was grinning widely as if he had just won a lottery.
“Catch her, Wei Liao!”
“Yes, Brother!”
As Wei Liao dashed, Ye Jiao turned around to run too. The movements that Wei Liao used were from one of the basic martial arts among the soldiers. It seemed that the boy broke the rules to learn it quicker than he should have.
Ye Jiao noticed that her speed was far lacking compared with Wei Liao. Within seconds, the boy would catch up to her.
‘What should I do?’
In the midst of her chaotic mind, Ye Jiao’s eyes noticed a branch that was hanging slightly lower than the others. She sprinted to the tree and used her legs to kick the tree, using it as the foundation for her to jump upward.
Her small arm grabbed the branch, allowing her to hang there.
“Come here!” Wei Liao tried to catch her feet, but Ye Jiao swung her body backward. Her body was bending enough to escape Wei Liao’s hand. The poor boy stumbled on the ground as he was unable to catch her.
Ye Jiao let the gravity pulled her down as she sped it up with a slight rotation in her palm. Her feet crashed on Wei Liao’s back, pushing the boy’s body and face to the ground.
Seeing that, Ye Jiao grinned happily. ‘Eat that, you annoying boy!’
“Ye Jiao!” Wei Cheng yelled angrily as he also dashed forward.

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.
