Chapter

Wake up, Wake up. Tan shook Li Meirong. They have started the bid. She said hastily and anxious.

Closing the bidding at 1 spirit stone going once, going twice

Li Meirong quickly reacted and said at the top of her lungs 3 spirits stones.

Closing the bidding at 1 Spirit Stone going once, going twice and selling. The auctioneer said. The auctioneer said with a weird look. Usually, well-known people purchase items of such wealth. He wondered who was this young big shot. It seems like… there will be a shift of power.

Li meirong wiped off the nonexistent sweat on her forehead. She can't doze off, she promised herself, since she had almost lost her life. With her concentration centred on the bid. Li Meirong purchased three beast eggs.

After Successfully catching her prey Li Meirong got up from her seat. She exited the auction house, leaving the auction hall in commotion.

The crowd wondered who had purchased the bid without hesitance. Was it the third Miss? One of them said. It couldn't be even that she wouldn't buy all three. Only one person sat across from Li Meirongs Lounge believed the possibility. He was intrigued since he had caught a glimpse of this mysterious bidder. She had cunning eyes and a crazy smile. Resembling a little villain. He had a look at the man beside him and asked.

Isn't the third miss in a coma? His voice was slowly paced. Tiptoeing a slow chill down the man's back. Did his master imply that they were incompetent in gathering information?

I look into it. He left in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, in a rolling carriage, an idea struck Li Meirong. This time, it wasn't a business idea (ahem scam) but something genuine. Something humane.

What if I turn my island into my childhood paradise? What did call it again Fluffy Palace? Her eyes closed as she let out a big sigh.

What is the matter miss? Tan Ai was worried.

I just realized, that to build a fluffy palace. I need money to buy fluffiness.

To build what? Tan Ai was shocked. The lady was very weird with weird ideas. It was not an exaggeration to call her crazy. She sang high-pitched songs with senseless text. She robs people in broad daylight with cunning plans, yet she sometimes acts like a child. She hated numbers but was delighted when counting her money making her full of mystery. Tan Ai just couldn't grasp her line of thinking.

While thinking about how to make money. She fell asleep with her cunning gaze and a smile that reached her ears.

Li Meirong woke up to the clacking of the horses and to plead of a person. It came from a man who was around 50 years old who sat by the city gate holding a bowl.

Please lend me a coin to spare. Please. As the man saw the fancy carriage draw by where within a young lady sat. His plead grew louder.

Please young Lady all my meridians are broken. I have grandchildren to take care of. Please a spare coin.

Suffering exists in this fantasy world. It is what Li Meirong first thought of. Tan Ai do we have a coin to spare? She turned to Tan AI who gazed into the night sky.

What difference will it make?

How can you say that? Even a tiny change can make a big difference.

See the falling stars of the night sky just like how his meridians are broken he will fall so low in life that he will soon be nothing just like a fallen star.

There must be a way to help him.

There is no way. Tan Ai said coldly and called the coachman.

Li Meirong opened the door and hopped out revealing her pearly white teeth with a smile.

Is there any skill you can offer me? She asked the man. Her usual smile. (Aka her business smile)

The man thought for a while before saying that he had a son who was very good with his hands.

Then meet me a day from now at…

She looked at Tan Ai too and Tan Ai replied.

Meet the lady in front of GU Manor.

Thank you, my lady. The beggar got up from the floor and went sealed in the dark of the night.

Li Meirong sat back in her carriage and stared at the darkness. In the darkness, a drowned memory resurfaced from her past life, which took her to a children's room where a little girl sat by the table drawing and murmuring to herself.

I am not kind. I am a mean person who is selfish and doesn't like sharing. I am not naive.

What happened? A black stone with a purple hue on the table said.

In school, Mimi told everyone that I was a kind angel.

What is wrong with that? The stone asked.

Well, only kind people are used, abused by their parents, tricked, and cursed in stories. In stories, they never decided their paths in life. It was like telling her she was the perfect victim and could decide her path.

And no I am not sad. I am planning my revenge.

Negative emotions aren't very good. The stone on the table said.

But too much positivity is unrealistic.

The stone was silent and said that, but they received their happy endings.

The Little Li Meirong looked at her talking stone with killing intent and muttered I could never wait for a knight in dashing Amour to save me? Why?

Wouldn't that be nice? The stone said.

Li Meirong picked up the stone and went up to her window stuck her arm out. Are you implying that incapable of saving myself? Watch your mouth or I will deal with it. Now help train.

Li Meirong put the stone back on the table and started reading books.

Li meirong chuckled at the past her who was reading a book. There was a time in her life when her greatest fear was being an incapable person who had to wait for someone to save her.

With the rooster's cry dawn broke into the orange-tinted Sky and Li Meirong jolted up from bed only to remember. She wasn't a stressed high schooler any more before snoozing back to bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. She needed a new idea something that bring easy money. She danced her way to her desk and began writing letters.

She called for Tan AI. Tan Ai came in a hurry to hear her weird plan.

Miss, please forgive me but no one would even attend such an academy.

Why not?

Everyone wants to attend the prestigious sects and academies, not something unheard of.

LI Meirong closed her eyes and massaged her forehead. So to make money out of the students I have to put in more effort. Li meirong had a disgusted look.

LI meirong was just about to enter her thinking phase when her grandmother stomped in while holding Chu Xiao's ear.

A little pigeon told me that my granddaughter has been tricking people and from what I hear it seems to be true.

Grandmother I can explain. Li meirong said in a small voice She was scared to death her grandmother seemed like she roast her any moment now.

No, for this misconduct you will be grounded until we set off on our journey to the healing spring. Now cultivate I am watching you.

Grandmother let go of Chou Xiao and ordered him to get the comfortable chair he could find.

Li Meirong closed her eyes to focus on finding the qi, but it wasn't working this was hard. She said. Li meirong was getting bored. So she picked pieces of paper and began drawing after a while a weirdly sketched shopping mall came out and an idea struck her. In these times a shopping mall wasn't invited, so this was her chance to become rich and dominate the world she thought and let out maniac-sequenced laughs. Her grandmother who had left for a nap, footsteps suddenly drew. Li meirong jumped from the chair onto her bed. Then sat in a crossed-leg position and pretended she was cultivating.

Holding a tray of tea her grandmother entered the room. She placed the tea on the table and nodded her head at the sight of Li Ming yue. Happiness engulfed her and seemed like the most obedient out of her grandchildren Tan Ai reports her to be an intriguing person and a smart child. With a little guidance and resources, she would make a fine consort. She sat down and then pulled out her yarn, To knit. Time flew, and she heard a snore coming from where she sat. Cultivating. She took her hand and was surprised that Nothing changed you did not even try. She looked to the floor. Her grandmother was furious she was her last chance on becoming the empress dowager and getting her hands on the elixir of life.

Unwillingly LI meirong opened her eyes and saw her grandmother who looked at her with a frown.

Cultivating is complex and time-consuming. I was tired. Li Meirong said trying to brush the situation off.

Ahh. Her grandmother sighed.

Cultivating is very important my dear. You can't survive without cultivation in this world.

She looked up at them and gave her a penetrating gaze. Li Meirong on the other side was tired and was thinking about what she would eat for breakfast. A long silence followed her.

Follow me.

Li Meirong got up from the bed and followed her grandmother out. It was so early. Li Meirong complained in her head.

Her grandmother pulled a scroll and wrapped it warped through space. They reappeared on top of a mountain. The marvellous scenery of a dense forest was coupled with the chirping of the birds, and the whistling trees beyond tiny miniature houses with small miniature people, shops busy roads.

All this can be yours. Her grandmother said.
