While Silvery was inside sweety, she had a passing craving. she wanted to tease the siblings that were training their martial arts with seriousness. So she messed with them which, in turn, satiated her Lust. But to Zhi Rui's and her surprise, the increase in cultivation came to both of them.

So Zhi Rui decided, while one works, the other studies. double the reward with half the effort.

As Zhi Rui opened the scrol? that Silvery was holding, and kept on reading. She was studying the creations of Cultivation Manuals and methods, it was what Zhi Rui started studying on the barbarian kingdom. Creation of things, Her eyes shone brightly. If you understand the root of the tree then you'll know the whole tree. That's what she thought.

But for now, Silvery is too weak. And Zhi Rui doesn't have time to study all the tie so she chose to send Silvery to evolve before anything.

Zhi Rui then sends Xun Lee Shixu IZaya and Zhun XUying to explore and collect resources o their area. And told them to announce that she was resting because of injury.

The geniuses think of her as an injured person, deprived of resources. If she closes herself and sent her subordinates in her place it'd be the same as her admitting to their thoughts. She'll be taken as weakness form her own part and even cowardness. counting with the fanatism for the light sect. That's two big cards they can use, and two cards Zhi Rui can counter to deal a heavy blow.

But that was merely traps. She depended on the enemy's willingness to use those things against her. But, the one who'll strike first, is none other than her. With a smirk. Zhi Rui tapped on a small hope rock constantly at different times and volume, it was a coded message.

Hilda that was touring the swamp received each letter on the other end, she stopped on top of a tree and listened to the soft taps.

With a smile, she jumped off to the warehouse in the 'neutral' zone.

On her hidden chamber, Zhi Rui received an answer after a half-hour.

After decoding the message Zhi Rui smirked with glee in her green eyes. "As expected, since the warehouse isn't working yet and they are housing their collected items in their own private places."

Zhi Rui sent a message to Xun Lee who answered right away with the answer. Wich Zhi Rui forwarded it to Hilda.

'These are the places where they are keeping it their belongings, scout it, but don't act yet.'

'Understood.' Hilda answered.

Zhi Rui smiled picturing the future events.

Four days later, everything was finally over. Zhi Rui had made four different hidden places inside her base every time she'd work on them. Her transmission would be turned off. Provoking the curiosity of the disciples and Elders, everybody guessed that she was making hidden passages and the such.

But that's what Zhi Rui wanted. When somebody is confident of something, he or she won't suspect of another. Even if the Geniuses became aware of her secret passages, how can they guess that her truly safety haven is a portable pocket dimension?

Once more, Zhi Rui thought of Sweety with a smile.

The next step is humoring the geniuses, mainly, Gao Fang. He sounded her out yesterday and will continue to do so, while they work together. When they judge it's enough the hope rocks will be turned off, and by then is better to have information on your enemy, and that's what both thought. But in the end, the better liar will win.

Even though Zhi Rui, already proved that she's injured, even though Zhi Rui proved she was a mindless fanatic on her heart. Even though she didn't have half of their wealth. He still took his time and acted cautiously.

He was despised in the eyes of his other peers. But Zhi Rui praised him. in spite of her despise for him. She didn't have the same kind of patience for boredom, like him.

She was meat in the chopping board already. Chao Cheng and An Bai couldn't be bothered to waste time with her after they learned of her injury. Yet Gao Fang did, and even more so, continued with his plan.

Thinking it through, Zhi Rui frowned lightly. She had never faced this kind of enemy. She kept giving them fake weaknesses to explore, but she wasn' sure that Gao Fang would fall for them easily.

"Haa.." She sighed.

But as he said, there are ten more days of safety for her, they wouldn't act while there people watching. Zhi Rui thought.

"It'd be quite hard," Hilda said.

Zhi Rui nodded, signaling for her to continue

"Their security is lax but I can still be caught by level three disciples. And Chao Cheng, exposed his gains in public so that one will be the hardest. And I'll need help to take the level four cultivators form there. Otherwise, it's simply impossible.

"Do you think you can take everything?"

Hilda hesitated to look at Zhi Rui's eyes.

Feeling the kitty's distress Zhi Rui sighed

"What is it?"

"How will we use what we stole without suspicion? Tomorrow will be the first time you'll go out to explore. While they already did it through the whole week, if we suddenly have a lot, they'll come for us, and then, how will we hide what was stolen? They can easily arrange a full search for us."

Hilda spoke in a subdued tone.

Zhi Rui sighed and petted her head. "You don't have to worry about that Just focus on my signal tomorrow. We'll have everything they gathered until now."

Without any more assurance, Zhi Rui dispensed her. And drink some wine while reading. The Lust Method worked based on desires, desires are formed by the mood. if it's cold, you want to be warm, therefore you wish for related desires. And right now, Zhi Rui wanted to screw these geniuses, up. Since she came back until now. she only suffered losses.

Lost a battle with Chao Cheng, had to demean herself to make a statement and the overall lack of respect form te other geniuses and elders.

Few things were pleasure these days, and due to that, she is in no mood for carnal pleasure, so all her desires are related to attainment in studies and the Solomon method. those will take longer, but there's one thing that blossomed on Zhi Rui's chest. A real lustful desire, that it was nearly a certainty that her cultivation will raise by at least a ten percent if realized.

The desire to screw over heer uptight competitors.
