#ImperialEunuch

'Huh, what do they mean attention from higher ups? I... it wasn't that big of a deal, right? I just walked a few steps... what do they mean Attribute and Talent? Awakening something stage? No way, is this for real? I really hoped but do they mean to say there's cultivation stuff and things? Like, flying in the air and the like?

Well... if I remember correctly, wasn't the bird that took me from the shack in the forest also... way too large and I am not sure how much time passed but, surely a lot considering the nine stops we took.' Ji Li pondered thoughtfully over the chance that he might actually be in a cultivation world. He couldn't help being astounded but also joyful.

Wasn't that what he always imagined and dreamed about? And not only that, but he's going to be a Eunuch! Yes a full on eunuch with all the things and actually act cool and pretentious when presenting so called 'Imperial Edict's' to people of much higher rank, taking on the role of the highest person in an empire... well, the prestige and a bit of authority of that person, not all the other stuff that no one would enjoy, like responsibilities and such.

He continued the thought and suddenly he was confused and hit with a thought - wasn't today supposed to be the day he lost his... manhood? Is that an appropriate word or should he call it baby making industrial complex?

Anyways, he was sure he would lose it today! Apparently, he was wrong, and it seemed to be like this thing in the previous world where babies would religiously bath or something... he wasn't too sure how they called that but he was sure it was something similar.

The thought shocked him a bit because he worried about it for a long time and surely he wouldn't be THAT much of a dramatic person and cry about it endlessly, but even his acceptance came with a fear for his life but also a fear for whether he really could enjoy such a life... in the end, he was still a pretty young man in his previous life and thought that maybe he was just too young to experience what everyone called love. Or maybe he just had a tendency he didn't realise in his past life.

Anyways, that's not important anymore, as he retail- looking below checking his baby body with a rich amount of baby fat, Ji Li unconsciously checked it out while ranting in his had about all that happened and how he was really relieve- he didn't find them!

'Wai-Wai-Wai-Wai-WAIT' Ji Li continued to remove his baby fat and check all around, maybe he had just miss placed his precious crown jewels. It's not like that never happened to anyone, right?

"Oh, little Ji Li, what are you looking for? Haha, could it be that you are very perceptive? Well, now that you are already a year old, you should know what your body looks like. Although the Emerald Tree's pond is calm and never caused anything, maybe it gave up a small sting since you situation is forward?" said the high eunuch questioningly as he took Ji Li from the ground, holding him in his arm and teased the small fat belly

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"You truly seem like a piece of Jade. Little polite, you have just joined the ranks of your seniors and your yang root has been removed. It truly is a remarkably fast process; can you imagine how they had done it in the past before the majestic and great Fei tribe found the Emerald Tree? There are cases of people dying just from trying to join us!

What a great sin it is, for us to not even be able to serve and fulfil our lives work before we pass in early years. Many of the Empires servant suffer even now, in our vast and abundant lands. Little jade, don't you think that's a bad thing? I am sure you want to change it, and for us Eunuchs to make the Empire the greatest and most generous, we have to serve and guide the Tree of ours. We are the gardener than make sure the tree is the most abundant in all seasons."

Ji Li didn't know how to react to the shocking news and all that poetic nonsense. He had just come to know that he lost his so called 'yang roots' and now this middle-aged man in green robes is telling him about being a gardener for some Empire? He isn't even sure where he is or what he is or who he is, yet they expect so much from him.

'Haaah, I really think I took a few steps too much, maybe I should've just acted like the other babies and play around? I'm sure I could've taken some gold dust from the ground... NO! I have already decided to walk this path, now I must fully commit to it!' With determination in his eyes, Ji Li nodded and repeated one of the words that the high eunuch especially pronounced.

"G-guidee!" He said as loudly as he can, still unsure of what exactly he said, but it was probably something important as the high eunuch had a shocked expression before holding Ji Li right in front of him, face to face "Yes little jade, guide. We shall guide the royalties on their path to eternal greatness for the empire."

The Eunuch looked back to Hua Jing who seemed to still be in shock and said "When he finished his training, send him here. He shall learn from the Eunuch Ceremonial Hall all he needs to quickly become an Intermediate Eunuch. This little jade is very promising, I am sure of it, with the Nature's Blessing and his brightness, I am sure he can bring us another era of auspiciousness."

A frown formed on the Eunuch's face as he continued "There are countless enemies outside while our few allies are too busy dealing with their own problems, our borders are getting more and more pressure, all because there are so many inner turmoils!

Since eons it was always the Imperial Family that reigned and decided, but so many Noble Clans have intervened and now even the Ministries are looking to join in. We, the Eunuchs, serve none of them! We have some who think otherwise, but as the first wise Imperial Eunuch once said, "We cultivate our inner harmony to ensure the same for the empire', since that is the case, how can we stand by and do nothing at all in the face of so much adversity in our own backyard!"

Hua Jing didn't know what to say in such a situation, as he clearly was not only ignorant but also far too powerless to join such a conversation. He naturally knew the unsightly situation in the capital, being a Eunuch comes with certain responsibilities in the Imperial Capital and the whole empire. Even he, who didn't engage or even leave the trainees yard yet, knew that certain powers try to use the troubles outside to pressure the highest powers and build for themselves a greater palace.

He was also heated from the ranting and felt a rage in himself, wanting to also change things and subconsciously also thought that maybe his protege could change things, he didn't know why, but those green eyes were full of power.
