Big gains

Myra and Ki signed a contract and shook hands. "As you are aware you have every right to use your profits as you please so long as you have paid me back for part of the loan to start up the businesses. You are now tied to me and my family so if the family falls you won't be too far behind and the same goes both ways. If you encounter a problem you cannot solve alone then immediately ask for support. How you handle the rules within your business is your choice but if you want it to be different from any old brothel and of a higher class business then you need strict rules to keep your staff and customers in check. Any of our organisations will have no connections to either of the four major forces that are the unorthodox alliance, martial alliance, blood sect and the devil sect in the future so we are a separate force from them."

Myra took the contract and looked over the contract again and then at the additional signature and name on the bottom of the contract. "The additional space must be for my new identity but what should I go by now?"

Ki thought for a moment and thought of a solution. "How about we switch the first name and the surname around and work from there. The name wraith will now be the first name that takes the rai and is changed to Rayleigh and the other part is changed from Myra to Meira."

Myra nodded thinking the change of identity was acceptable. "Rayleigh Meira, okay that isn't so bad and isn't a huge change for me to deal with."

She silently signed her new name and signature under her previous name further securing her future tied to Ki and the Bombyx family.

After Myra or Rayleigh left to head toward the designated room she had to stay in for the night, Ki began to go over her gains and ordered Lumi to also go to sleep for the night.

She looked over the bags of books, medicines, herbs, weapons and other things and smiled. "Now I have additional martial arts for females available and can have a place to raise a new divine ice sect under the cover of an entertainment hall or pavilion. There are several medicines to help practice the qi art but they are all cold qi based medicines so are useless to me. The sword is the most valuable thing and the key is a crucial element for reentering the sect when things settle down again. The most useful thing that they have provided to me personally is the herbs. An extreme ice flower is useful for those who practice cold qi arts but is very poisonous to others for their extremely cold nature and is the main ingredient for a cold based poison recipe I have from the poison clan. Now I just need a poison recipe of the opposite nature to balance them out when consumed. I believe the herb pavilion has many herbs in storage which can make an effective heat based poison to counter it."

Ki decided that it was time to look into the storage list of the herb pavilion further and request for some of the rarer herbs to be sent to the family mansion.

The initial idea was to save the ice goddess and try to use her to revive the divine ice sect and create an alliance between them and the village along with the various organisations under Ki's command.

After hearing the snow fairies past and her reasons for killing her master, Ki decided it was worth subduing her to become part of the strength behind her.

The snow fairy was a bright realm martial artist in Ki's previous life so she definitely was a talented person with great potential and was one of the most powerful supports of the emperor in terms of individual strength.

Now that the snow fairy was no longer under the influence of the emperor but herself, Ki could see her future forces growing while others were growing weaker.

The ice goddess was now a blank canvas that previously had close enough potential and talent as the snow fairy but after using the divine ice soul art, she had become more focussed on the tasks given to her so she would achieve similar results to the snow fairy with enough time.

Ki could begin to direct Lumi towards any direction she chose after she obtained the grand elders medallion, she could use her as a weapon or set several orders to help develop Lumi's world view and her own way of thinking and acting over time.

The night ended with Ki recruiting two girls her own age that had very high potential and talent to become leading characters in the world.

Ki headed towards a small room after dealing with the gains from the night.

Her eyes had a particular gentleness in them as she looked down towards a crib, there was a small newly born baby sleeping peacefully within.

Another surprise happened during the year that was out of Ki's expectations, soon after the invasion it was found that Elizabeth was pregnant and a baby was born after many months.

The baby girl was now a couple of months old and was very small and cute, in Ki's eyes the baby sister was an expected blessing.

After obtaining the divine ice sects martial arts Ki had already set aside the sect masters martial arts books for when she grows up.

Since Ki could not use them then she could at least pass them down to her sister while she could pass on the other sects martial arts to the females that are part of her core organisations or businesses and are completely loyal and with enough potential.

Although the qi arts could not be used by herself she could gain some insight from their martial arts books and scrolls if she lacked inspiration for her drunken mulberry palm and sword arts.

She thought about these things and felt that tonight was very profitable and helpful towards gifting her sister something towards her future.
