34 I'm Still Too Weak

Li Wei woke up with dark bags under her eyes. She was given a shock after reading the notebook.

[This world has upper lands? How can you go there? Fly through heavens? ]

But what made Li Wei vomit blood throughout the night is the cultivation levels.

She was nowhere near in the pinnacle of power? Just what the fuck, right?

Just when she thought she was strong but when compared to the people in the upper land she was like an ant they don't have time to squashed.

[What kind of rotten shit is this world?]

[I'm too weak! I'm too weak! Reality had played me in the face!]

Ninth-star my ass.

Li Wei sat in the carriage absentmindedly. She felt her self-esteem crumbling down. She no longer has the confidence in retaliating if someone provokes her.

Just who the fuck created this world?

(Qianru: Me. You gotta problem?)

Just give me time to digest everything?! It was a fucking blow! I thought I was strong but in actual truth, I'm still too weak!

"Boss, are you okay?" Qi Shuang asked her.

"Call me Li Wei."

Qi Shuang nodded. Yesterday, although the girl has a mask on, the girl in front of her has the same vibe as the white-haired woman yesterday. And she seems to be in a bad mood. She better not mess with this boss of her.

"Li Wei, are we going in the Lost of Wilderness?"

"We're gonna train there for the meantime before coming back in the imperial capital." She answered.

"Oh, you're from the imperial capital..." Qi Shuang looked down, playing with her fingers as if she's feeling uncomfortable.

"What is it? What's the matter?"

"People in the imperial capital are all scum...but the boss is different."

Li Wei coughs out loud. Well, a 15 days observing this world, Li Wei found out some of the officials worked behind the scenes. She tailed all of them before killing them. Some of the officials pocketed the people's money. Even kidnap children to molest them. Li Wei realized these world is good to others but a rotten hell to some. So, even she just arrived she decided to kill them. For her own good, of course! She was curse by her stepmother. Only by killing others will Li Wei be able to maintain a longer life. She only have 12 petals and 2 of them are already silver.

Li Wei doesn't know when she will die. She knows for a fact that if the red rose turns silver it would be her last.

She was healthy. Yes. But her life isn't base on that. Her lifeline depends on a single rose. It all depends if she kills or not.

"So, tell me what do you know about the Lost of Wilderness?" She asked Qi Shuang about what she knows about the mountain.

"Everyone knows about this mountain. There, you can find wild beast! Spirit herbs and medical herbs! Sometimes, a pill ingredient will emerge! That mountain is full of treasure! Just by only acquiring many beast core and selling them, I can be rich!" Qi Shuang answered her excitedly but that excitement did not last long.

"But, you know. People like me can't enter that area. Yesterday, I asked the burly man if I can go with them, but he refused and curse me after knowing that I am no cultivator." Qi Shuang said with a bitter smile.

"Trash like me will always be trampled on."

Li Wei didn't speak. In the cultivators world, it is normal for them to looked down those people who can't cultivate. It is normal for others to bully who are weaker than them. It was a sight hard to see. Maybe, someone wanted to protect those who get bullied but don't have the courage to do so. After all, it is normal here in this world, that weak fear the strong.

Li Wei opens her mouth and tried to speak to comfort the girl who she calculated that must be 1 year younger than her.

"Trash? Who said they can call people a trash? There's no such thing! If a human being is trash? What is he? A monster?" Li Wei tried to speak some comforting words. She doesn't know if she even comfort her or not. This was her first time comforting someone. When she was in her own kingdom, in her original world. She rarely gets upset. No one even comforts her and no one ever dared to mess with her, except the Queen and her attendant Ora. In the first place, people always thinks that a strong person like her, did not feel weak, did not feel pain. But in reality, every thing hurts. So, she steeled her heart. Train hard. Play hard. And never showed weakness. Because if you do, you will looked down upon by the Queen. Who cares anyway? She's not her real mother. It's better to disappoint her.

But disappointing the Queen comes with a price...

Li Wei unconsciously clenched her fist. Her nails digging into her palm but she seemed to not feel pain at all.

Qi Shuang didn't notice it and smiled to Li Wei, thanking her for comforting a girl like her. Even though Qi Shuang felt that Li Wei is a little bit clumsy in her comforting words.

Qi Shuang felt warm inside. Li Wei was the only person or cultivator who treated her differently. The only person who treated her equally. Qi Shuang swore to this day that she will follow her every where and obeyed her orders.

Li Wei patted Qi Shuang's head. She remembers in the past, that she loves to be patted in the head by her stepmother. She always waits for the Queen to smile and compliment her for her achievements. At that time, she didn't know that she was always been used for over 10 years. Doing all the dirty work for her Majesty. Everything she did, was spilled blood just for her. The Queen borrowed her hands to not dirtied her holy self.

It really made Li Wei mocked herself. She thought if she's obedient it will be good. But no... it wasn't. Li Wei lost everything. Her father, her kin, just to satisfy the Queen.

It was pathetic.

She really was too weak!
