T-Thank you
Scholar Li returned, took a seat in front of the duo, and seeing a pinkish hand print on Ye Shie's left face, he frowned "Did something happened while I was away?" looking at Xiao Rou who was pouting and glaring at Ye Shie, he asked the teary boy.
Seeing him shake his head left and right,
"Okay, let's continue our lessons"

Geography,
"In this continent, like little Xiao Rou said yesterday, there are 3 empires occupying it. But in addition to that empire, there is a Huge dark forest in the middle, where it was reported to be the home of demonic beasts."
"Demonic Beast?" Ye Shie asked.
"Yes, Demonic Beasts are beast that evolved from wild beast, they obtained sentience and started cultivating. Many have researched on why and how Beasts evolved, and they stated, "Just like how a cultivator does".
"It was also reported that once a Beast broke through the Mortal Realm and enters the Heavenly Realm they can transform their body to that of a human." Scholar Li passionately said, which made Ye Shie and Xiao Rou's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Etiquette,
In the dining room, table wares are arrange neatly and accordingly while appetizing dishes were placed.
"In dining, one must wait for the Head or the owner of the house to partake first, then and then can we start eating."
Scholar Li showed examples on how to properly dine in the table.
The duo followed through albeit clumsily and stiffly.

Afternoon, Cultivation, in the library.
"Uncle Li! Uncle Li!! You never mentioned the stages of Heavenly Realms!" Ye Shie asked while raising his hands.
"Oh? I think it's better for you not to know something so far fetched in the--" but after seeing the puppy eyed looks of Ye Shie and Xiao Rou, Scholar Li gave up.
"Alright!" with this they cheered
"Heavenly Realm is a different realm, in which a cultivator starts to refine and nourish his or her soul.
A stage is differentiated by how much spiritual sense they can reach"
"Spiritual Sense?" Xiao Rou asked.
Scholar Li nodded "Spiritual sense, is when you feel, or see an object without touching or seeing it. Mortal Realm Cultivators doesn't have spiritual sense yet, it's because it requires a strong soul, and a strong body. Imagine seeing or feeling 100 meters around, instantly. Can a weak brain handle that burden? So that's why It is necessary to first strengthen the body, then the soul."
The duo nodded in understanding, although one of them flinched a bit.
Seeing them nodded Scholar Li continued "Good, The first stage of the Heavenly Realm is the King Realm, like in the Mortal Realm Cultivators every stages are also divided from Low, Middle, High, and peak. They are differentiated by the distance his Spiritual Sense covers,
Low is 100 kilometers.
Middle is 250 kilometers.
High is 500 kilometers.
While, the Peak is 1000 kilometers."
Upon hearing that the Duo eyes blanked a bit, then Ye Shie asked looking at Scholar Li's eyes, "Uncle Li? Are you a King Realm cultivator then?"
Upon hearing that, Scholar Li's eyebrows rose in surprised, "H-how did you know?"
Ye Shie upon hearing that smiled and said "Nah~ I just guessed that, hahahahaha"
Scholar Li also smiled upon hearing that, 'Good kid'
"Then, after a King Realm expert reach the peak stage and broke through, that cultivator will then stepped into the Emperor Realm. Like in King Realm, They are also divided according to the distance their senses covered, or in this case it's called Imperial Sense.
Low = 1000 km above
Middle = 2500 km
High = 5000 km
And Peak is 10 000 kilometers wide"
"Whoa~" The duo exclaimed in awe, then Ye Shie asked, "Uncle Li? How huge is a 10 000 Kilometer?"
Scholar Li contemplated for a bit then said, "Have you heard of the Imperial Palace?"
"Imperial Palace? No." Ye Shie denied, while Xiao Rou looked at Ye Shie in astonishment.
"Y-you don't know?!" Xiao Rou asked, then she mocked "Truly a stupid Ye Shie"
Hearing that Ye Shie glared at Xiao Rou, then said "So what If I don't know! What will you gonna do about it? Bite me?!" he shamelessly declared.
Xiao Rou sat there dumbfounded, then she Tsked and Hmph away, mumbling "stupid Ye shie! Stupid!"
Ye Shie victoriously smiled from this encounter.
Then Scholar Li explained "The Imperial Palace, reside in Empire's Royal Capital, it is measured that the Royal Capital ranges 10 000 kilometers in diameter. The current emperor Fang Di is a Peak Emperor stage cultivator that lives inside the Imperial Palace. In comparison the the Xiao City, the Royal Capital is 19 times more bigger than Xiao City, and has several Rank 9 Guilds."
"Guilds?" Ye Shie asked.
"Yes Guilds, Blacksmith Guild, Formation Master Guild, Beast Tamer Guild, Alchemist Guild, and many more, the guilds I mentioned previously were the most popular and needed guild in this world."
"Whoaa~ So uncle Li? Is there Guilds like that in Xiao City?" Ye Shie asked, but was given a mocked by Xiao Rou "Country Boy"
Ignoring Xiao Rou, Ye Shie looked at Scholar Li for answers.
"Yes, cities or capitals, were ranked accordingly by the rank the guilds that resides within. And a City can only be governed by a Heavenly Realm experts, only villages are governed by Mortal Realm Cultivators."
"Oh~ so Uncle Li, what does a rank 9 blacksmith guilds produces?" Ye Shie asked curiously, sparkles again.
"It is said, that A rank 9 Blacksmith, can create destructive weapons of terrifying caliber that when even wielded by a Mortal Realm cultivator he can slay A Heavenly Realm cultivator."
"Ohhhh!!" Thinking of Wielding one and slaughtering emperors and kings stage experts floating in the sky, Ye Shie day dreamed.

At night in his bedroom
A whistling Xiao Rou, shamelessly entered his bedroom and went on his bed, not minding the cultivating Ye Shie on it.
Snuggling with the pillows, she asked Ye Shie.
"Shie?" hearing this, the meditating Ye Shie woke up, looked at her and said warily "W-when did you get here?"
Seeing his guard up again, Xiao Rou smiled wryly, and asked gloomily "Relax, am I really that scary?".
Ye Shie, upon seeing her down like that, Shook his head left and right, but after a moment, nodded profusely.
Seeing his action Xiao Rou glared at him and said "You're lucky that I even pay attention to you, yet you don't even realize it" hearing that Yi Shie Thought 'Who would want you att-' "sorry" the thick killing intent disappeared, when he said that, and was replaced by silence.
"Sorry too, Shie" Xiao Rou apologized, "It's just since I was a kid, I was only the child both my parents had, all their attention was on me, but then one day you came abruptly, and seeing that they also cared for you made me..." she hesitantly said "j-jealous."
"That's why since then, I've been trying my best to annoy and mock you so that you'll leave, but upon thinking of my actions, and listening to Scholar Li's words about the world, I noticed how foolish my problems were."
Hearing this from Xiao Rou, made Ye Shie's face stiff. He lost control of his Facial Technique and the ordinary face turn into a handsome one.
He went closer to Xiao Rou and said "I'm sorry too, for intruding in your family. At first I, too was confused, since birth my father left us with my mom and I only have my uncles who I look up too, seeing the place where we once- " tears fell from his black magnetizing eyes, down in his handsome face "lived, disappear, and having Uncle Bai and Aunti Mei comforted me like that, felt like family, I'm sorry".
Seeing Ye Shie's handsome face cry, guilt began to bud in her heart, she went closer and hugged him into her chest in panic and gently whispered "I-its fine, I don't blame you for that..." after a moment of silent, with a flushed face she continued "I-I'm even g-glad t-that y-y-your h-h-here w-with me..."
Hearing that Ye Shie's hand that was dangling down moved, and also hugged Xiao Rou's body in his embrace, then he snuggled out of her chest, he looked at her eyes with his tear stained face and said gently "T-thank you Xiao Rou."
Feeling his body warmth so near, and his tear stained handsome face so closed, the already flushed Xiao Rou, blushed even further, she hurriedly looked down in embarrassment, causing her forehead to headbutt the defenseless face of Ye Shie.
Ye Shie fell down on the soft and fluffy bed unconscious and the flustered Xiao Rou kneeling breathing roughly, after a moment she calmed down, Looking at the handsome unconscious face of Ye Shie again, Xiao Rou blushed, and hurriedly laid down the bed to sleep.
