19. Yating's scream echoes through the night

"Princess Yating: Shi Xiang! I have come to play."

Stopping his work for a moment, Shi Xiang pauses and type out a response to the energetic girl on the other side of the screen.

Ever since he got the Video Replay System, he has been able to somehow record what he has seen. It seems these "videos" was like a memory recording item, with it he could record what he has seen and shows it to other. When Fairy Yijun first saw it, she says "Ten thousand mile transmission?". Shi Xiang is not quite sure if it is the same as that ten thousand miles transmission Fairy Yijun has said, but it is quite nice. He could record beautiful scene he has seen and used it for later. He is sure to leave behind some good memory.

Though he has not quite finished the mission to completely unlock the Video Replay System though. For the whole day, except for the scholarly man and his entourage, the mission counter only ticks three more time.

"System Notice:

Mission: As before, so after. Pass on what you have learned and improve the cultivation level of the people with the right mindset.

Write down the teaching of Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zheng Jie and Devil Path Ancestor, Yan Yu and sell it to more than 3000 people (0006/3000, incomplete)

Reward: Video Replay System"

Even though countless people has bought, the mission only counted three people. An old man. A spear maniac. A random passerby who didn't have any cultivation at all. Shi Xiang is not quite sure how the three was counted while the other was not, but if he has to guess perhaps the others' comprehension was not quite enough. They all bought but it was not quite the same, they did not have the same reaction, for some they may have a small reaction, but it was not enough to move them. For the other, it was nothing more than a piece of paper. After all, it was not something the Sect Master or the Devil Path Ancestor has written down, it was something Shi Xiang tries to imitate to the best of his ability. Of course it would not be like the Law-like teaching that was passed on to him. However, the people who was enlightened, they were enlightened by Shi Xiang's own comprehension and his calligraphy.

"Your handwriting yes?"

"Yes" Shi Xiang answers.

"I don't believe it." The man says.

Remembering what the scholarly man has said, Shi Xiang could only shake his head slightly.

"Princess Yating: Where are the moving picture?"

"Shi Xiang: Now now. I'm finishing the cleaning up, don't you have something better to do?"

Even though he hasn't finished the mission, the Video Replay system has already been unlocked to him. At anytime he could record something he has seen, he could rewatch it, he could also post the video on the system board. It seems he is the only one who has this system, the Devil Path Ancestor, Yan Yu expresses some interest in this system, but he has since gone back to that abnormal silence that has been going on after the battle with the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The Sect Master on the other hand was completely silent and didn't respond to anything, Shi Xiang would have been worried, but thinking about the might of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he feels that he is not worthy enough to worry. Princess Yating and Fairy Yijun on the other hand was excited about the video, it seems outside of him, no one on the System Board has this.

Well, in actuality, for the last few days before Shi Xiang even has the Video Replay system and started posting video on the system board, someone has already been uploading pictures and videos of rocks regularly. However, these posts, no one has seen it.

Typing a few more lines, Shi Xiang starts posting the video.

Inside her room, Zhang Yating watches the video excitedly. It records the normal life of Shi Xiang, but it was extremely interesting to her. Perhaps it was because she has never lived that kind of life, but the image of Shi Xiang walking on a dirt road with lines and lines of bamboo in the background is very interesting. It feels as if she is walking in another person shoes, interacting with people, animal and object. Knowing that Yating likes to watch video, Shi Xiang has chosen to record thing that he deems interesting and will be to Princess Yating's liking.

Even though he has never heard of something called Video before, Shi Xiang did a good job of choosing the view that he deems the most beautiful. A country road, a busy market with all the people walking around, Shi Xiang while he is selling calligraphy, a river next to the bridge, a waterfall that he has asked his master's Daoist friend to take him to. It's simple but at that moment, Yijun appears on the System Board

"Fairy Yijun: Huh. This kid has an eye for art, this is more beautiful than some master's painting I have seen before."

The way the scenery and people move as if they are alive, the angle that Shi Xiang chose, it was all perfect.

As an easily excited young girl, how could anyone blame Yating for being captivated by it? Even an old woman like Fang Yijun was moved, not that she would let anyone know she was old. She has an image to keep.

During this session, suddenly Shi Xiang starts typing again.

"Shi Xiang: Princess Yating... How should I say this..." It was something that he has discussed with Fairy Yijun before, it was because the three of them was unnaturally active and so was very close that Shi Xiang starts this conversation.

"Fairy Yijun: Yating, you spend too much time watching video and chatting."

It was something Shi Xiang and Fairy Yijun was talking about. Yating seems to be a nice girl, from a moderately wealthy family, and yet,

In the morning, Yating was posting something on the system board

In the afternoon, Yating was talking about a video that Shi Xiang has posted.

At night, when Shi Xiang and Fairy Yijun does have time to chat with her, she chat with them continuously.

It's as if she spent all of her time on the Heavenly Dao Discussion.

"Princess Yating: What else am I supposed to do? I'm grounded."

"Fairy Yijun: Spend your time kissing up to that uncle of your so that he lets you out early than. This is not acceptable behavior for a girl your age."

Yijun from the other side of the screen starts scolding Yating for her time-wasting tendency. If she was a cultivator, it would be different, but from what she knows, Yating is not. Human has a limited lifespan, and these are supposed to be the best years of a girl life. She should be enjoying it instead of talking to someone she hasn't even met all the time. By how Yating is acting, Yijun is worried about her.

Inside her room, Yating was gloomy.

Fairy Yijun was right, but talking to Shi Xiang and Fairy Yijun is the most fun she has had in years. It's not her fault that uncle Lei does not allow her to go to the market alone. She wanted to be like Shi Xiang too, walking on a dirt road, talking to the random people, watching the river from the bridge.

But every time she goes out, the market is empty. The people stay in their home. No one talks to her. And the other heir and heiress that interact with her are always trying to get something from her. She knows it, they know it, but they don't stop. And in the case of the Hua family heiress she even tries to frame her and get her grounded. What is she supposed to do?

Seeing the silence in chat, Yijun feels bad about it. Trying to break the silence, Shi Xiang starts typing something to calm the mood.

"Shi Xiang: Princess Yating, do you want to see the new feature of the Video Replay system I just stumble upon?"

Suddenly seeing those words, Yating cheers up a bit.

"Princess Yating: What is it? What is it?"

Breathing a sigh of relief, Shi Xiang starts pressing something on the System Interface. Instead of typing out what he was trying to say, suddenly another video appear on the System Board.

A soft voice appears in the background, it was Shi Xiang's voice.

"Apparently it is something called "live-streaming"? I am not quite sure about it yet, but it lets me transmit a video instantly as it happens."

Even while he says that, he starts to look around.

"It is like I'm talking to you right?"

Even though she still could not see his face,

"Princess Yating: This is the first time I have heard your voice. It's really melodic. It's nice."

Yijun sees the livestream too, however her reaction was completely different. As someone with the highest cultivation in the group currently, she starts typing rapidly so that Shi Xiang could see it. The words come out at the speed of a master, instead of something she normally types.

"Fairy Yijun: Shi Xiang! To your right!"

A man in black clothes appear on the edge of the livestream, but Shi Xiang hasn't notice them yet. With her superior vision, Yijun immediately recognizes it. She tries to notify him, but it was unneeded. The attack comes quicker than her notice, it was an attack with hidden weapons, aimed at Shi Xiang.

The attacker has to have a considerable cultivation to be able to do that, killing before Shi Xiang could even notice. He was someone well-versed in assassination. His motivation unknown. At the very least, he has to be a level higher than Shi Xiang's previous cultivation, a step higher than Dan forming stage, closer to Condensation stage. With Shi Xiang's current cultivation, it was supposed to be a done deal.

However, Shi Xiang after his rebirth was extremely unusual. Even though supposedly his cultivation has dropped, it was even more formidable than his previous cultivation. Yijun sees that strangeness in him to, and when that strangeness turns into deadly intent, the person she was trying to warn was not Shi Xiang but Yating who was watching.

"Fairy Yijun: Wait Yating! Turn off the video now!"

But it was also too late. Reacting to killing intent with killing intent, a strange wave from Shi Xiang repel the hidden weapon at the last moment, his right hand starts moving, forming into a claw, and Zhang Yating witness all of it right from Shi Xiang's point of view.

With an abnormal viciousness that frighten even the other hidden assassins, Shi Xiang grabs the head of his attacker and twists it in a 180 degree angle.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yating's scream echo throughout the whole Lei manor.
