80 Resting.

In the community center, Inside an unused classroom. Zhi Rui sat in a chair leisurely sipping on a glass of wine. A thin tint of blush on her cheeks. Zhi Rui's eyes darted around the room. Five simple wooden chairs spread in a circle in front of her.

Izaya stood beside a seated Izumy. Azula, the head of the slaves was beside her.Shizu sat on the chair far on the right. Hilda remained standing with her back leaning on the wall of the room.

Seeing the nostalgic sight. Zhi Rui sighed and downed her wine.

"Haaaaa." Zhun Xuying standing at Zhi Rui's right took her cup and filled it to the brim.

Zhi Rui smiled. "You're not my maid anymore. Why do this?"

mirth spread overZhun Xuyin's eyes, "I just felt a little nostalgic."

Hildatwitched her ears. but remained silent.

Zhi Rui's felt the effects of the drink, She smiled a little and leaned her back on the chair. her voice sounded out.

"Today I came to tell you, that soon, You'll be the owners of this land." s Zhi Rui's voice fell. Izaya frowned, Hilda's heart beat wildly. Only Izumy, Azula and Shizu showed a positive stance.

Looking at them, Zhi Rui smiled. She did not need to use her abilities to know what they were feeling.

With the exception of Izumy, none of them were naive, they already knew how Zhi Rui would continue. And Zhi Rui delivered it.

"But, we'll need to fight for it." Zhi Rui said. "No one will give it to us, so we must take it. For that, you'll need strength. Today you'll give me a written list of your needs for cultivation, and by the end of the month I'll give them to you."

"M-Mis Zhi Rui, W-what about the community center? the princess is gaining encroaching on us, after she built her own, we started to have problemsthat we did not have before."

the girl was so anxious, Zhi Rui smiled, "Wang Lei Gu won't be a problem anymore. Her backing lost the power to screw my matters."thinking about how the sect leader must've been feeling, knowing full well that When the talented disciple reaches the sect, his status will be taken from him. in an amiable righteous manner. Made Zhi Rui smiled.

The people around saw such mirth in her eyes, and they all felt chills in their spine.

Biting on a piece of meat, Zhi Rui spoke. "The threat of what Lei gu is dealt with, but the challenges only increased, Zhi Rui in her lightheadedness didn't measure words.

"there are five people with the double of my strength and their own small servants coming to take over the sect. They'll be entering the underworld portal without a doubt"

The smile on Zhi Rui was gone, her change of expression alone turned the air colder.

"To beat them I'll need to go to that plane too, but alone it'll be hard so you'll be going with me."

their auras shined different colors, and Zhi Rui felt their feelings, for an instant.

"You don't need to panic. I've been told that the gate to the underworld would be completely opened in half a year. In the meantime. You'll be training and growing your strength. I already have a plan. But first I need all of you to be at least a level two.

Zhi Rui got up from the chair. The noon sunrays shined through the curtains.

"Azula, what's the status of the group?"

"I only need a core to enter level three. In the group, there are two others who just managed to reach level two." Azula answered loud and clear.

Zhi Rui turned to Hilda, 'She really has a talent for this."

"Good! give me their information I'll find a way to accelerate their strength."

Izaya, Shizu, and Hilda were gobsmacked. The slaves were already too abnormal yet she wants to accelerate the process!?

"Izya form now on, you'll be my manservant on the sect. Hilda, keep the business but come to the light sect at the end of the month, I'll give you the resources. Shizu, Don't be too hung up on the boredom when this month ends, you'll be amusing yourself in the barbarian lands."

Zhi Rui passed her stern expression around the room. "We'll shed a lot of blood, but I promise you, we'll own this corner of the continent and everything in it." finishedZhi Rui walked away. her feet firmly on the ground and her back straight.

Shizu who was the prince's guard and heard a lot of inspiring long speeches felt moved by Zhi Rui's light but strong words.

As the people inside the room was left, to their own thoughts. Zhun Xuying walked beside Zhi Rui.

They were walking straight to a well-known meat restaurant.They found a table to seat.

And Zhi Rui motioned with her hand for Zhun Xuying to start talking. About the things that happened on the sect, while she was away.

Zhun Xuying sighed., "My young Lady, the only casualties were Guan Jing and Han Feng.

Zhao Lin was founded by Xunhue,

Zhi Rui was freaked out but she had commented to try to find in you're doing wi

After eating a satisfying meal Zhi Ri andZhun Xuying walked without hurry.

it was, three in the afternoon, the carriages and people on the streets were heavily diminished, so they went on unperturbed. the light shines Zhi Rui Hair, Zhun Xuying looked on worriedly.

Zhi Rui sighed, "I understand a lot, but I don't get why you become so attached to me."

Zhun Xuying's mature face shined bright red. The blunt question threw her mind to chaos.

"I-I don't know. Maybe because, you treat me as equal!?" stammering and looking everywhere but Zhi Rui, she answered.

"Zhi Rui did not need to look, she could feel. and it was intense; so much that her core energy was becoming denser.Zhi Rui had her own theories, but it was the first time she felt somebody with such strong warmth towards her, even Zheng Li, who had a huge obsession with her wasn't this intense.

Zhun Xuying did not get a response and her heart raced.

Zhi Rui felt the change in the mood and looked back.

Her muscles were rigid and she felt her throat go dry, and albeit reluctantly. ZHun Xuying spoke her words.

"W-Why did you lay with me? although I'm not old, I'm still thirsty, ten years older than you, And all my life I lived in the slums, I was a whore, selling myself and being beaten up on a daily basis." As the words left her mouth Zhun Xuying managed to hold her posture and stared into Zhi Rui's eyes. "Why, did you lay with me?"

A grin etched itself from ear to ear. on Zhi Rui. " 'lay'? Zhun Xuying can you even remember the time were you betrayed me on week after I saved your life? you lost your edge." Zhi Rui laughed. she walked ahead again.

Zhun Zuying sighed feltering little on the steps, she followed, as they walked, after a while, Zhi Rui's voice reached her ears.

"I'm a woman of more than forty years of age, And throughout my life, I suffered the same injuries as you. But I never thought of myself as vile or sacred. So you can believe me when I say; I fucked you and will continue to fuck you, solely because of lust. Don't overthink."

The first part startled her, but other than that; Somehow Zhun Xuying felt warm.
