Daiyu awoke from the suns glare to the sight of the women seemingly grinding grass into a pot of steel. his eyes mysterously gray with particales spinning around. it gave off the image of a multiverse. "who are you? did u save me?" he asked.
the women with ragged clothes stop and turn around. a small smile formed on her lips as she answered with sincerity " I am Chao Xing, i saw u by the river of clearsky with blood soaking your body. i thought you were dead but when i came to bury you, you had pulse. so i took you to my house for care. the blood has someone disappear as soon as i layed you onto my bed." she gestrured toward the sorrounding with humbleness.
Daiyu looked around and saw the state of the so called "house" " it is obvoius she is poor yet she still helped me" he thought to himself. " i am Tianzi Daiyu!" he said with pride " remember for not many are graced with my name"
"arrogant!" thought Xing. Her veiw on the handsome men most women would fight over for dropped a level.
"I will remember this favor you have given me and shall repay you tenfold" daiyu continued, already on his feets and started walking towards to outside. the sight of 3 5ft jade bamboo entered his sight as does the city 2 miles away from him. " so she lives in the outskirts" he thought to himself.
"we are at the outskirt of clearsky city" xing answered as she pours the stew into a bowl. after finishing doing so, she walks towards him and passes the bowl " please return and eat this, it'll speed up your recovery. im going into town to sell the jade bamboos, pleade wait for my return." she said, not putting any mind into his earlir statement of returning the favor.
daiyu, not wanting to miss the opportunity to meditate along did not argue as he watch her cut down the bamboos and bundle them up to make the journey to the city. daiyu return back into the house and ate the stew in one gulp, not minding the look or taste. he sat into a medatative form and took out pitch black book from his ring. as soon as the book opened, blood red letters flew out from within and formed a sphere around him.
Daiyu was like a vacum sucking up the universe essense and seemed to be in tune with nature as life flourish by him, the small stubs off grass growing to 3 ft towards him " it seems the explosion cracked open the world boundry thus sucking me into the Stone Medicine World." his face showed a bemused smile, " just as i predicted" large amout of gold particles flowed infront of him, forming a compass, pointing towards Clearsky City." to think a treasure worthy of the compass is present in such a low city" he murmured."
The eyes of daiyu sped up their rotaton as he release his spiritual qi around his body. the qi "cleaned" him and his robe changed into pure snow white with purple lines magically forming different mythical beast. the book along with its letter disappear into his ring of a coiled dragon. the ruby eyes of the dragon shined from a moment before dimming back. all of these took a few seconds to describe but in reality 1 hour has passed.
----------------------------------------
The doors creaked open as Xing entered back. she was to insignificant to notice any change about daiyu but the cleaning he undergoed ( idk, is it undergo'ed? or does the word just not exist?). his clothes to her were always plan white without tears as his eyes just gray with some small black spots which i might add are unmoving. she paid no attention to the changes she notice and asked with haste " theres a auction opening in a few mintues, are you fit enough to come?"
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
"why go to the auction?" asked daiyu who is sure the women infront of him was too poor to buy anything. but his question seems to have distraughted her.
"no reason" she lied with a sadden look.
"you are my benefitor, please tell me so i can help" daiyu asked with care. although he shows no mercy to those who are his enemy that does not apply to whom he classify as friends or family.
Xing did not know what came over but she answered " this auction is to be a big one. many nobles and kings will come as one with fortunes of wealth." she starts clenching her fist " from the moment of our parents death i have spent most of the fortune and what little amount of bronze jades i can earn to support my brother from afar. for 5 years i have done this but it is not enough anymore. the fortune our parent has left us has been used up and the bronze jades i earn are not enough anymore." Xing eyes shined with determination as she continues " my brothe most not face any hardship as i have! i have even made sure he knows nothing of the past to not worry him. out of all those rich people, there are sure to be someone willing to spend atleast a gold jade for the virginity of myself. Although i am not a beuty worth a city, i can still be called beutiful with my body figure" she explained gesturing to her body.
"so you would give up your virginity for your brother? asked daiyu. Let it be known in this cultivation world,the virginity of men and women is means more and valued more.
she nods in affrimination.
"i see". said Daiyu standing up "let us go to this.. auction" he continued already on the path to the city.
Chao Xing follows with her head down in shame. no one could blame her as she just admitted she'll sell her body. this was simply how the society of the cultivation world worked. the strong become stronger while the weak are used in this dog eat dog world.
"why have your head down?" aked daiyu in a cold tone somehow knowing without looking back.
no answer.
"in this world, many would call u a stupid retard" continued daiyu, not minding her lack of response.
xing head sank lower hearing this from someone she saved. " ungrateful brat, i saved you yet you repay me with these hateful words!" she thought to herself in agony
"you done so much for your brother without anything in return. you have now decided to give up your virginity for your brother. the very thing that is your chance to rise up in the rank of life. for what? for someone you barely know? indeed, many would call you trash, stupid, and for your intended action, slut." at this point, Daiyu stops walking.
Xing not knowing he stopped walking, walked onto him who is atleast 6 inches taller, and stumple down to the ground. she wanting to snap at him supported herself with her arms and turned towards him to get up but it was at this moment, for a split moment, that the heavens decided she was worthy to see what was really in front of her.
there stood the most handsome face infront of her with a he most mythical holy robe. his dark hair following the wind where-ever it went but even that couldnt distract her from what she havent ever dreamt of. she as of paralized couldnt move from her shock, her eyes showing fear and reverence to the sight of his eyes. gray in color with particles move around it forming the image of a multi-verse! she could only stutter in disbelieve " de-divine eyes!!!!!"
"but i am not like others! it was fate that allowed you to find me. it was fate that you chosed to help me! it was fate that you would give up anything for your brother! and it was fate for i to meet you. Chao Xing, plegde your alligience to me and i will make you one of my generals! you will be able to turn the world upside down with me by your side, your enimies will cower at your name! what you wish for i shall grant it! so come, follow me, TAINZI DAIYU TO BECOME ABOVE ALL!!"
