Back in the remnants of dark elves, Bianca stood on the throne's room.

She could feel Zheng Li leaving their small town. As she ceased to feel him She looked up. "You can come now."

A man jumped in front of her, dust and dirt flew all around, but she did not blink. Merely frowned at the smell of dirt.

"Keeping and emperor hiding like a miserable bandit, Have you thought of how much of a bad mood I'm in!?"

"Don't be grumpy my lord, my children came home, after all, and it's too soon for them to meet their father," Bianca spoke with leisure.

"I've done my end of the deal, now it's your time to do it, the venerable realm. You told me there a fast way to do it."

The emperor on his blue robe spoke.

Bianca smirked, her eyes deeply staring at him. "Do not forget your place small emperor. You only planted the seed that I needed, frankly, I only chose you, because that general has the intelligence of potato and I despise him. But don't misunderstand, that only means you were the least detestable between you two. Bianca stood up and walked to the emperor.

Lightly she reached with her index finger to his chest. "You're merely at such a level, you need to be at least level six to become venerable why are you rushing me?" a crack sound rang out, The emperor, coughed blood. he looked with bloodshot eyes at her."My kingdom is in the eyes of every major force on the continent, I can't do anything, If I decide to give you up, what do you think it would happen?" the emperor spoke through clenched teeth.

Bianca sighed and turned around, walking slowly for her throne. "I only need to nurture that girl for a little more. I have a method to take lust from her. I'll use her to enter venerably. my plan was to use her brother, extract his dual cultivation power and give it to you so we can both grow strong. together, but now while we can still perform dual cultivation the effect will be much small.

Slowly the emperor got up, madness was in his eyes he did not say anything else. The only thing on his mind was entering venerable and crushing his brothers and enemies.

In the teahouse, Xun Lee was waiting patiently. She looked up and felt the wind pass her. She pulled her robe together and looked to her side. blackie with a bloody maw was right in front of her. Xun lee looked up, and Zhi Rui patted the back of blackie, inviting her to seat again.

With a smile, Xun lee mounted behind her Xun lee held Zhi Rui's back like a koala.

"Go," Zhi Rui said to blackie.

"Are you not bothered? I am a boy after all." Xun lee asks.

Laughing loudly Zhi Rui answered" So what? it's not like you're touching my ass.

"In some places, if a man accidentally touches a woman's hand she must cut it off. to redeem herself."

Zhi Rui smirked. "girl my bottom line with sex, is ****. anything else, and I mean ANYTHING else if it's consensual then it's a virtue for me."

Xun Lee smirked.

"I need to get popular." Zhi Rui suddenly Said.

"I can help you with that." Xun Lee answered

'Good' Zhi Rui smiled she slapped blackie and she jumped away. With the wind and the rough movements, they could not talk anymore.

As they were reaching the sect, Zhi Rui saw Zhun Xuying outside the sect. she stopped blackie and told Xun Lee to go on her own. cheerfully the same as before she ran to the entrance.

Zhi Rui looked at Zhun Xuying walking through the setting sun's light

'what an angel' Zhi Ru though.

"I received a message in my token." Said Zhun Xuying

"Telling me to keep an eye on you and inform any suspicion."

"Who gave you the message?" Zhi Rui asked.

Zhun Xuying answered with a troubled face, "It says sect leader."

I can assume he spared Wing Lei Gu for the same reason" Zhi Rui sighed.

"C-CAn I know? at least the outline of the things happenings?" Zhun Xuying asked hesitantly.

Zhi Rui looked at her eyes 'It's true a lot of things she doesn understand I happening, my involvement with the sect leader, my general plan she doesn't have a clue of what I actually want.'

Zhun Xuying stammered even more to continue

"W-Why don't you stop? I know you live for pleasures, but revenge I don't know how you were hurt but to be stuck in revenge is to be chained too right?"

Zhi Rui sighed she looked at Zhun Xuying eyes and spoke sincerely.

"I can only live if I'm feeling pleasure. And to let my enemy alive is stressful and stress makes me weak. It Physically weakens me. So either I erase the enemy and grow strong or I give up and die. Do you understand Zhun Xuyin?

I wish I could tell you everything. But now is not the time. For now, remember. I need to get popular. Not superficially I need the worship kind of popular. Zhi Rui looked at Zhun Xuying is red rimmed eyes.

With a brief nod, Zhun Xuying spoke with a smile "Your chance is tomorrow then." Zhi Rui tilted her head.

"The tournament for ranks starts tomorrow, and you're the first to fight. Right in the morning." Zhun Xuyin continued.

'Damn I only got blackie.' Zhi Rui frowned. "Who's my opponent?" she asked.

"A male melee fighter, he wields a heavy sword, and wears heavy armor, he's at level two, and his refined core attributes are, strength, endurance and one ability called gorilla skin that enhances his defense. as for expendables, I don't know."

Sighing in relief Zhi Rui got off blackie and walked together with Zhun Xuying to the entrance "If it's a melee I can handle him."

Zhun Xuying looked worried "But you said, there's no refined core in your aperture. And I doubt the level one Blackie can defeat him alone.

Zhi Rui smiled, she held Zhun Xuyings waist and gave her a deep wet kiss. Zhun Xuying separated both of them forcefully blushing hard.

"What the hell are you thinking!?" she said breathlessly.

Zhi Rui cleaned the saliva in the corner of her mouth and smiled at her.

"I have my plans." then she walked inside.

Zhi Rui entered alone, as Zhun Xuying was supposedly on a mission of gathering herbs and would only be back later.

Zhi Rui walked straigh through the outer manor and reached a bigger Manor. 'The light sects foundation's manor' the sign read.

Zhi Rui entered, it was late but it was still open and empty, only one clerk was attending.

"I want to see the available core's catalog." The clerk pointed at a book in the counter." if it's not available it has an 'x' in it." The clerk warned.

Zhi Rui nodded. Slowly she evaluated each possible core, she has until tomorrow to refine and learn to use it.
