Chapter 20 (part 2)

Master, where did you learn these techniques? Little spirit asked.

Well, I learnt Therese techniques on my trips. Cherry said.

Oh, where did you go?

The streets of the city teemed with life and energy as the night sky illuminated their dusty paths. In a carriage where little moonlight entered, a girl sat inside firmly holding one of the pillow's. She was sleepy but not yet asleep. Her eyelids were closed, her head faced the window. She attentively listened to the conversations and smelled the beautiful fragrances worn by others and of the street food from time to time. The road they drove on got by the mile less lively till they reached a quiet residential area.

Miss, we arrived Jim opened the door and picked up Yunqi. She stepped out in awe, facing the many Sakura trees around her house and in her garden. It was almost like a forgotten heaven. It was unforgettable to smell the smell of Sakura trees. The carriage had stopped in front of her courtyard.

So this is the place you bought

Yes, Miss. Darian said.

Lead me inside and call a few people.

In the reception, the hall cherry sat on a chair in front of where people kneeling.

We greet the flower.

Oh, get up no need to kneel when greeting me.

Yes ma'am they stood up.

I know your official training has just begun, but may I ask a small favour?

Yes, it would be an honour.

Will you be so kind as to gather information about the ghost city, the upcoming auction, and the reasons for tightening the city?

Yes ma'am.

They left within a second.

Miss, would you like to have a bath before going to bed?

Why not? Lead me.

Does the miss have any special wishes?

Coal

Can you say it again?

Coal

Cherry Blossom was led to a room with a big bath. On the table where the snacks were placed is where milk tea ran off too.

She entered the bath wearing all of her clothes she sat in a comfortable position and closed her eyes.

Water, cherry poured a bottle of spirit water from the lake.

Do not fret my child she heard the voice that had told her not to offend and not to fear. She went over and her the figure weeping. Cherry felt bad and said the only words of monotheism left did not cry she didn't 't want to see me sad.

Instead of consoling her, she wept even more. Cherry continued consoling her until something woke her up.

She got up and dried herself with the wind. She used charcoal to colour her hair until it was pitch black.

Come in.

Miss, I just wanted to make known that you will have a meeting with the different departments of Ethereal pristine.

Thank you, Jim, she said.

It is just my job.

Cherry had long known that the old master and Jim always looked out for her in different ways possible.

Then I will take my leave.

Cherry made her way to her bedroom instead of sleeping she would usually cultivate, so she did like usual.

It was a simple procedure yet a little different First she will clear her mind second she would gather the qi next she will lead them to her Dantian.

Cherry then knows that by doing this her level of cultivation will continue to rise and increase her experience.

Even if she didn't know what rank she was on.

Outside the door, footsteps could be heard drawing, following a knock.

Miss, we have located the animal that went missing.

Can I bother you to bring the animal?

Without a word less they left.

Cherry entered the jade space.

Little Spirit you seem to have trouble refining the vitality-condensing liquid. Inside the jade space, a loud noise was heard prior to her entrance.

Master can you help me you have a lot of knowledge about alchemy.

I would rather not.

But, cherry who else can I ask for help except you?

Where did you learn alchemy? Cherry asked.

Well, my former master was a genius in alchemy, so we only refined difficult pills or draughts. You see I haven't had breakfast. I normally do not make such pills you see. But I want you to buy some herbs at the auction, but I do not have much money, so I am refining pills.

Can you stop giving excuses?

I will help.

Cherry took the herbs gave them a sniff a began to teach little spirit how to refine vitality-condensing pills.

With great success, they refined many pills. She put about ten pills in the lake where the egg rested.

She cultivated in the jade space for a while before exiting.

Not too long after she exited she noticed that behind her door were people discussing if they should knock.

Come in cherry said.

She heard us. They're scared. Jim and the old Master had warned them not to disturb the master especially when she is resting.

Cherry sat on the edge of the bed even though she was in her own room she wore a cape and veil. Which added more mysteries.

Good evening,

We are sorry for the disturbance.

Do not fret

Thank you for the pardoning

Miss the subordinates you sent has been captured, and Captain Jim is nowhere to be found.

The subordinate knelt as he reported. He was scared of the outcome. The young master Harrison was scary and the old master even scarier. So how frightful would their master be?

What about … where is the old master?

Cherry asked.

We first consulted you because they plan to dissect the person's Dantian and spirit roots.

Ah, so what should I do? Cherry was a little confused.

Knock, knock a knock came from the door.

Come in. Cherry's hand began to squeeze the pillow beside her. She couldn't feel the Qi of some people who were talking.

Miss, are you listening? Anne said.

I am sorry it is my fault. Does anyone know how strong is the opponent?

Reporting to the miss the strongest we have seen is on mortal martial 4.

This was a little weird. She had expected it to be someone from middle realm. The whole situation was a little funny.

Will someone hold milk tea?

Yes miss

Let us get going.

You are personally coming. The guards said in shock. Usually, the big boss never came out of its hiding spot.

Miss we are using the technique of swift steps to get there. Anne said.

Swift steps! It wasn't hard but after an amount of time.

Here miss. Anne offered her hand to hold.

In the shadows of the city, the group travelled. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Leaving no trace behind. Anyone who had seen them would doubt. A second less, gone.

They arrived in the ghost city within an hour. Cherry noticed the difference when she entered the ghost city. The city was deadly silent. Even the wind dared not blow. No ants were present. It smelled like sweat.

As they got nearer they heard the sound of clinking swords.

I am innocent. I have nothing to do with this mess.

No one present is innocent. Everyone here knows something they shouldn't. Arrows of fire began to shoot in all directions.

The man who had released the arrows was hideous. His veins had popped out and were coloured blue. He took out a small bottle full of pills and chugged all of them at once. I'll bury all of you with me. His bloody eyes pierced through the dark surroundings. A mixture of sweat and blood reeked of the place. From the second she was told to come here she knew something wasn't right.

Miss this is not the final destination we must carry on.

Cherry was thinking of returning to her warm fluffy bed, but she must save her subordinate. They were about to take the next leap further. It was the soldier she had met this morning.

If you do not tell me where the child is. She will have to pay the price. The soldier said.
