Zhilan eyes almost pop due to the large amount of new items but what made her more shock is that she can gain new Attribute! She stare deeply at its.

' it would be amazing but I can't just just Awaken a new Attribute right now... because it would be highly suspicious... Can I use it for other people?' she question

[ Answers! You may but it limited to two per person!] Zhilan felt her eyebrow twitch

' Can this thing read my head?' she thought

[ Yes! we don't mind being judged too, we understand your frustration] Zhilan slightly cry in embarrassment, she was saying terrible thing about it and how shady it seems.

' World? you said I earn a new Title? What skill did I obtained?' she ask, as she heard sounds of words generating in her head.

[ You have earn a new Title call "Hidden Gem Of Demon Sector ", New Skills are

Demonic Eyes: A ability to find other Demon Cultivator and see there cultivating aura

Demonic aura: If needed you can release a highly powerful aura of a demon Cultivator, it won't affect your Cultivating ]

Zhilan thought deeply about these new skill, Does Si Du have Demonic eyes? Is that why he was able to find out her skills and abilities. As she was in deep thought. The maids return as they knock gently on the door, She quickly hide her [ World Store].

" Lady Xue hua, We have return with new clothes and we have set up a warm bath with fresh pick snow cherry blossom to have a pleasant scent for your relaxation " The head maid said, She got up quickly as she open the door. They where still bowing still, she stare at them as she sigh out deeply.

" Show me the way to the bath " She said in a soft yet cold voice

" Yes Milady " they reply in sync. As they begin to show her the way, she saw the hallways... it is beautiful decorated, it white marble walls shine with luminous spirit aura like stars.

" How long have this building been here?" she ask, the woman who is the head maid, her hair tie in a bun and slightly have wrinkles between her eyes. Wearing a darker red and black robes that the others maids.

" We apologize Milady, we don't know how long it been here. Please do forgive us" She apologize as did the others.

' They have such loyalty to the Demon Sector, I won't blame them... they are ruthless killers' she nods in understanding

" Is no worry, I was surprised that Master Si Du give me a room in such a beautiful building " Zhilan smile slightly as they stop in front of a large white door that is decorated with white marble stone Flowers.

" We here if you need us but if Milady like we can help you wash up" the head maid said, Zhilan sweat at her words

" I-I'll be fine" She reply as they bow at her words

" We understand " They are perfect in snyc, is like they are one. As she slowly enter the Bathroom, it was huge! a little waterfall gently flowing through a small mountain like stone with beautiful flowery petals coming out. The water stream out slightly from the clear beautiful bath water. Clothes set near the door, some fruits near the tub, she is quite impressed by there elegant routine. But she knew there only doing this because Si Du order them to make her feel comfortable, since he did force her to join a Demon Sector.

As she strip off her filthy clothes, she relieved how bad Past Zhilan must have ... living in a poor village a way from a booming city or a very well Hero Sector to help them. She was poorly sick and her poor parents have to use any money or food to get her a doctor, Renshu.... Renshu probably is worry to death about Zhilan or rather her, she didn't know if he a live or ger parents. She slowly dip herself in the water feeling the sickly dirty skin finally breaking off her skin, revealing a more clear beautiful pale skin. It was white as snow, it rough texture dissolve into a smooth texture.

Warm tears pour down her cheeks, her heart tighten as she thought about Zhilan family and Renshu...

" I hope you guys will forget about me..." she pray slightly as she close her eyes.

" Renshu..." even though she meet Renshu...Past Zhilan knew him since she was young until her death. She truly love him... but right know she wasn't his real Zhilan.

" I'm sorry" she cry slightly in the foggy bath. She must have a guilt feeling but she must move on... she can't rely on Zhilan past...

' please forgive me Zhilan '

Back at Zhilan Village

The survivor cry and morn over there now destroy village and death. Zhilan Mother Yu and father cry in pain of there daughter taken by the demon Sector.

" My Zhilan...my poor Zhilan " Yu cry in pain, having her sickly daughter feels better today then get stolen from a evil man was a mother worst nightmare.

Renshu watch in anguish, he wanted to go save her but...

' What if...She dead? No! No! Zhilan is a strong girl! my mother said he took her as a Disciple... So she must be safe ' as he look down his blood boil

" What can I do?" he question

" You can join us" a older wiser elderly man voice enter in Renshu hearing, as he turn he sees a tall long white hair older wan with red and gold hanfu, a black scarf wrap around his neck. It scream wealthy and a higher status of nobles, Renshu stare at him as he smirk.

" I'm Master Tie hu Fu, Headmaster of the Soaring Fire Tiger Sector " he said so proudly as the village people spoke lowly

" Isn't that the top three Hero Sector!?"

" Is he here to check out the damage of the village or is he recruiting a new disciple?!"

Renshu stare at Tie Hu as he was hesitant to answer.

" Renshu is your name? I heard about the sudden attack of the Scarlet Viper, and the terrible deaths of some of your village. If you like you can be one of my inner Disciple, your status doesn't matter. Help you gain incredible strength, Cultivating, and power to fight against the demon Cultivator " he said so proudly as Renshu face slightly show worry. He knows if he needed to get stronger he need to train under a hero Sector but... would this mean he have to leave his home...

" is there something wrong?" Tie Hu ask

" I want to get stronger... so I can kill the men who took Zhilan but if I leave... " he stare at the wounded villagers and his family

" I'll make a protective shield around your village and ask a very well know medical doctor from

Yucheng" he offers as everyone eyes widen at Tie Hu generously, Renshu thought deeply.

" Zhilan is a girl you love right?" he ask Renshu as he quickly look up at him, Tie Hu has a similar expression as him

" I have a wife... if anything happens to her I would be a similar state as you but she won't like it if I become weak and useless for her. Renshu I swear on my honor if you meet any Scarlet Viper Demon Cultivator, I'll let you decide there fate!" Tie Hu have a truthful honorable glow on him as he hokd out his right hand towards Renshu

' Zhilan...I'm sorry. I'm going to become stronger for you and once I do... I'll go save you!' Renshu gran his hand and shake it im agreement.

" Welcome Renshu, to my hero Sector!" Tie hu smile in joy as everyone cheer in this joyful moment.

Renshu path to righteousness has begin and Zhilan path to her revenge has begin too, both lost half of there home and separated by fate.

---Two Day Later--

" Zhilan I'll get stronger for you" Renshu stare down at his slightly rebuild home as everyone wave bye to him.

" I need to get stronger" Zhilan said lowly as she stare in a mirror, she needs to be more powerful then everyone if she going to get revenge. As she put on Heavenly Sapphire water drops tear head to forehead chain hairpiece, that only cost her 1000 points. It can read people minds and blocks out any curse,illness,and evil things out. She also purchased a Alchemy Cauldron that is worth the points, because it also gain new recipes and she got all those Attribute pills free! She has four each, she has to be choose wisely on what to do with them. While Cultivating and creating the Icy Dragon Flowers pills, She was able to achieve a substantial level. She also gain new skills and made a amazing weapon, she look at her hand where a chain like bracelet wrap around her wrist.

[ Total Points: 6,800]

' I can earn more but is hard if I only been Cultivating and crafting ... since Renshu isn't here and there is no way I can go to Si Du...' a knock woke her up from her thinking as she check herself. She is ready to become the most powerful Cultivator in history with the help of The World Store, there nothing that can stop her.

" Milady is time to go see Lord Si Du " Zhu ye spoke, she is the head maid in this building. She is truly loyal to her and Si Du, As Zhilan step out of the room. As the maids look up from there bows.

" Awww" they stare at her with admiration

There awe at her stunning beauty, she is the painting of beauty or rather she a goddess. They couldn't believe a poor girl can be so beautiful. Her long smooth gentle slightly curly rose golden hair oozing with luminous beauty like fur. Her stunning pale purplish doe eyes full of warm and comfort, her lustful perfectly pure snow like skin shine elegantly in the light sun, Her perfectly shape body with perfectly curves fill in the right places. wearing a beautiful black hanfu with dark red trims outlining her end sleeves and chest area. It beautiful design flowers glistening with dust of gold and sliver, a sliver chain of beads wrap around her waist with her small bag.

" You look beautiful Lady Xue hua " Zhu ye spoke

As they begin walking towards Si Du office.

" Is that you got Slave!" a loud voice of a man yelled, Zhilan and Maids look slightly at each other as they walk towards the source.

a group of Scarlet Viper male and a few females Disciples surrounded a dark green hair male wearing a low slave robes, as one of them was kicking him.

" Apologize to Lady Qiao, How dare a mere slave spill tea on her!" as they got closer, the male who was beating him up was smiling in enjoyment.

[ Gou, Slave of Scarlet Viper Demon Sector. Use to be a Demon Cultivator until Another Demon Cultivator destroy his core. ]

Zhilan eyes widen at the scene. Does he like her? How?When?Where? She questioned his strange liking towards her.

" Senior Liang tou! You shouldn't get dirty by this low dog" a girl with a greyish black robes smirk at Gou beating. Zhilan blood boil at this scene, it reminds her on past life... beating by everyone including her family...

But...

Now is different, the past two days of being here. She gain back her Cultivating aura and stage.

" Stand back" She order the maids as they follow her order, she slightly left her right hand as her bracelet turn into a gorgeous dark blue whip, it was forming out cold air as the handle has a dragon head. She pull back her arm as she swing it cold leathery thong towards Liang Tou neck, everyone eyes widen in shock as he is pull back hitting the floor hard. He begin choking on the cold thong as he try to get out, screams from the girls as they told the other male to help him. Gou eyes stare in awe at who save him. As one of his friends try to get the thong off of Liang.

" Agh!! so cold!" as they jump back, Qiao begin to get mad as she yelled

" Who dare to attack One of the inner Disciple!" she act so high and mighty.

" That would be me" as Zhilan reveal herself follow by the maids, everyone eyes froze in shock to see her.

" y-you!! how dare you attack him! Release him or else!" Qiao demanded but...

" Oh? a lower Disciple trying to commend a higher status Disciple?" Zhilan eye's glow dangerously as the whip started to tighten around Liang neck.

" A higher Disciple!!?? you just got here! You think just because head master Si Du offer a place here give you the right to attack us!?" Qiao face turn red in anger as Zhu ye step in front as Qiao facial expressions change.

" Ar- Aren't you Lord Si Du head maid??" she begin to speak nervously as Zhu ye eyes darken

" How dare a mere Disciple speak to Lord Si Du core Disciple!" she yelled as everyone gasp in shock, Qiao face completely turn pale as the words enter through her ears.

' Si Du Core Disciple!!!' there eyes stare at Zhilan as she smile slightly

" Hello Lowly Disciple, I'm Xue hua. Master Si Du Core Disciple " She said as they got on there knees and bow to the ground

" W-we apologize!!!" they yelled in fear. Qiao fall to her knees as she stare at Zhilan, she couldn't believe such a girl can be Si Du Disciple.

" Hm? I guess that will do" Liang face was getting paler but as the thong left his neck he begin to breath again as his friends quickly pick him up. As her whip turn back into a bracelet, she look at Gou

" You" she pointed at him, he jump slightly at her sudden voice.
