Five years passed within the Bai Clan. Not much has changed within the Bai Clan itself but many changes had occurred to the little princess of the clan, Bai Jing.

Standing in front of a villa was a gorgeous young woman, she had slightly wavy, pitch black hair that reached her mid back.

Her black hair faded into white at its tips.

She wore a golden chain earing on each ear. Experts could tell that it was an exquisite spirit tool of some sort, that added to her elegance.

Her skinny face was perfect and her fair skin flawless without blemish, almost holy. No makeup adorned her face either and she still retained a hint of youthful and plump cheeks. Her big beautiful amber eyes that gave off a warm glow and her sultry lips drew in ones gaze. However, at the same time she looked indifferent and cold, emitting an aura that kept one away. Causing one to be drawn in, but not too close.

The young woman was very tall and stood at almost 180cm, a little taller than the two young men in front of her. She wore a white and red hanfu with a black and red skirt ending just above her knees.

On her feet she wore nothing, just her beautiful bare feet touched the earth. They seemed incapable of being tarnished and occasionally drew the gaze of the young men across from her.

"Brother Chen, Brother Gu, it was nice spending time with you to again." Spoke the woman towards the two young men in a calm tone with an expressionless face.

This young woman is the now 15 year old Bai Jing. She has already reached the mid-stage of Core Formation.

She had grown much in strength and appearance. Her appearance change was thanks to the [Maturation Rejuvenation Scripture], it also contributed to her attitude shift.

Not many outside of the clan besides other strong and influential powers knew of Bai Jing's talent and cultivation level. However shortly after reaching the Core Formation stage, the clan decided to publicize her achievements.

The clan announced her transcendent grade talent and her achievement of reaching the Core Formation stage before at the age of 11. Making her the youngest in tens of thousands of years to accomplish that feat.

This announcement garnered the attention of the masses and many mid and large sized forces on the continent flocked to the Bai Clan to offer gifts, some even came from other continents. The wanted to create relations with the Bai Clan and especially the prodigal young Bai Jing.

Bai Jing quite enjoyed the gifts she received, such as the earrings she currently wore, but hated the formality in which she must conduct herself and the constant barrage of flattery and annoying conversations she had to engage in. She also regretted the bubbly personality she had adopted in this new life and started to develop more towards her true personality, which was more convenient in many ways.

Bai Jing gradually transitioned into a more calm and indifferent demeanor around others. She only revealed her bubbliness, which was now more tame, around her family and Ying Ying. As she has truly treated them as her family in this life and has also come to enjoy acting spoiled and cute occasionally.

"Sister Jing, it has truly been to long since I have last seen you. When I heard you had broken through to the Core Formation realm I had to increase my training. I didn't want to be left behind by you, I-I always want to be by your side." Yan Chen spoke longingly with a tinge of redness on his face.

Yan Chen had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and would be able to breakthrough soon. He had aged into a graceful young man with a heroic and proud bearing. His jaw has become angular and his gaze was always straightforward.

As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking Yan Gu took an aggressive step forward, closer to Bai Jing.

"Sister Jing I will always be by your side and I will be the one, to protect you in the future!" Yan Gu spoke with bravado staring straight into Bai Jing's eyes with a hint of obsession.

Yan Gu had changed much more than Yan Chen. His timidness had all but disappeared and he felt like a battle trained warrior. His jaw was sharp and his eyebrows gave his face a sense of ferocity.

He had also reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment and gave off an even more powerful aura than Yan Chen. It seemed he could breakthrough anytime he wanted now.

"..."

"I see... I'll be waiting for you then. Don't get too caught up in your cultivation, I missed you two." After hesitating for a moment Bai Jing spoke towards the two. A slight and beautiful smile appearing on her face.

The two men were stunned in place seeing her smile. The two just stood there blankly, eyes captivated.

'A smile is truly worth more when it's rare. They're already smitten by such a small smile.' Bai Jing concluded haughtily.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"If you'll excuse me I shall return now."

Bai Jing quickly returned back to her expressionless face, turned around and left the two in their stupor, walking towards the villa doors.

Seeing Bai Jing walk away the two's eyes lowered to gaze at her perfect legs and alluring feet she so wantonly showed off. A heat was brewing within the two.

After Bai Jing walk into the villa and the doors shut, the two glanced at each other, fierce battle intent and competitive spirit unleashed itself, unhindered. The two gradually got a hold of their aura and walked away not speaking or looking at each other.

Walking into her villa Bai Jing retracted her divine sense that was observing the two men.

'People around here sure have a thing for legs and feet.' Bai Jing was amused.

One day not long ago Bai Jing was walking in the clan without footwear, noticed the reactions of the people and had her suspicions. She confirmed her thoughts later when her father reprimanded her for her wanton display. Bai Jing also noticed that most of the women she has seen, except for a certain spot in the city, are always wearing clothing that covers their legs as well. So, the next time she went to the city she got some custom made skirts that were fairly short.

From then on she would wear skirts that got shorter and shorter and occasionally go shoeless around her family till she achieved her current wardrobe. Always being shoeless and wearing a skirt just above her knees.

It was surprisingly easy to calm her father down as she just played innocent and kept asking questions until he stopped bothering her. It seems that Bai Jing's mother had played a part as she didn't seem to mind and said that as long as Bai Jing is happy she doesn't mind.

'I've become such a bad girl. I feel a little bad stringing those two around but I also enjoy it. I wonder if that could be considered bad karma?' Bai Jing had mixed feelings.

Bai Bing recalled some things the reincarnation lady had mentioned like karma and merit.

'Power really changes a person! I'm definitely not as good of a person as I once was. Though I wasn't even really that good of a person in my previous life. I just didn't partake in bad things due to fear of the law and creating enemies. But now... who would dare do anything to me!' I have nothing to fear!'

Arrogance overflowed within her.

'Though, I should do some good things for every bad thing, since karma is apparently a thing... just incase.'

Bai Jing thought in self reflection about her current and future actions.

Bai Jing was brought out of her thoughts upon seeing a small boy in the hall running towards her, a smile appeared on her face.

"Sister! Play with me!" Yelled the little boy towards Bai Jing.

This little boy looked about two or three years old. He had black hair and pupils along with sword like eyebrows, greatly resembling Bai Jing's father, Bai Kong.

This boy's name is Bai Chao, he is the son of Bai Kong and Pai An, born a few years ago. Alas his spirit root grade was nowhere near Bai Jing's. Only being a top-tier Heaven grade spirit root, a step away from Supreme grade. Two grades away from Bai Jing's but still considered a top notch spirit root.

Unlike other spirit roots, a transcendent grade spirit has no tier. Mainly because they are so rare that no one knows which tier it could belong to. In fact the only living person on the planet with another transcendent grade spirit root is Bai Kong. So he would only be able to tell if Bai Jing's spirit root is better or worse than his.

Bai Kong was not disappointed in his son only having a heaven grade spirit root. He was ecstatic to not only have a son, but Bai Chao had not only inherited Bai Kong's looks but also his Space type spirit root!

A space type spirit root was one of the rarest types, almost as rare as a transcendent grade spirit root. Bai Kong could pass down his legacy and personal techniques to his son.

"Ok. Ok. What do you want to play?" Questioned Bai Jing as Bai Chao came to a stop in front of her.

"I want to play Birdie!" Bai Chao exclaimed with his hands up.

With a playful smirk on her face Bai Jing used her toes to grip onto her little brother's clothes. Then with a slight kick she sent him flying into the air.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

As Bai Chao flew close to the ceiling, then as he fell down from the air Bai Jing flicked her hand and a small spinning vortex appeared bellow him stopping his fall. Then he was sent flying through the villa towards the courtyard.

With a push of her feet Bai Jing followed close behind. Two small transparent green wings appeared around her ankles as she flew behind Bai Chao.

The doors to the courtyard were pushed open with divine sense as the two of them drew near. One they entered the courtyard they then quickly sored up into the air.

"Haha. Yay"

"Faster Faster!"

"Wow!"

Bai Chao's shouts resounded in the air as the two were preforming acrobatic tricks in the air.

Bai Jing also chuckled in the air having some fun playing with her little brother.

After playing for a few minutes Pai An walked into the courtyard.

"Chao Chao! What did I say about bothering your sister too much. Jing'er that's enough you can put him down now." Pai An called out.

"Awwww!"

Bai Chao sounded sad as he was lowered to the ground.

"It wasn't a problem Aunty, don't worry about it." Bai Jing replied with a smile and ruffled up Bai Chao's hair with her hand.

"Well I'm going to go take my bath now Then I'll see you for dinner." Bai Jing exclaimed as she turned around and left towards her room.

"Bye Sister! Play with me later too!" Bai Chao yelled out.

"..."

Pai An just shook her head in silence thinking to herself.

'She's been so carefree lately and Husband's been upset that she isn't cultivating as much anymore.'

...

Soon, Bai Jing arrived at her room and entered her large bathroom with Ying Ying following behind.

Ying Ying has also grown up into a beautiful girl and reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. She was once again shorter than Bai Jing, her head only reaching her chin. She was about 162cm tall and her black hair was tied up in two pigtail buns... forced upon her by Bai Jing.

Entering the bathroom one could see a large wooden tub enough to fit 10 people, made out of some unknown spirit wood filled to the brim with a misty water. Fragrant yellow petals floating on top the water.

Taking a sniff, Bai Jing felt relaxed.

"What flower is that from it smells nice?"

"They are actually petals from a Sun Fig Tree, I have also prepared some of the fruit for you afterwards!" Ying Ying replied with a smile.

"My Ying Ying is always so thoughtful!"

Bai Jing praised with a smirk and pinched her cheek, then walked away.

'Maybe if I stop being helpful she will stop playing with my cheeks?' Ying Ying rubbed her cheek and felt an extremely pure strand of spirit qi had entered her from there.

Bai Jing made her way toward a large golden ornate mirror in the bathroom, stopping before it. She slowly and gracefully began to disrobe herself, her clothes dropping at her feet.
