Ascend The Heavens

The Lord's disciple (2)

The whole room went silent and Sun hee held her breath as all the silence was making her nervous. She had no idea why everyone was acting strange or maybe they also find a talking fox to be weird. She watched everyone in the room look at her like she was some kind of angel who fell from heaven and decided to grace them with her presence. She was weirded out by all the attention she was receiving.

"I do not wish to interrupt all of you but I would like to remind you that it is wrong for men to be here. This is still the room of a young and unmarried woman," said Mrs. Gu, they all came back to their senses and made their ways out of the room. Most were in shock at what they had seen, not only was the general's daughter fine but she also had a spirit contracted animal. She had also been blessed with the gift of being the Lord's disciple.

The people returned to the main room and sat down silently contemplating what they had seen. They all wondered what the general had done that the Lord himself had blessed him so much. In no time at all the news of everything that happened in the general's house had spread like wildfire. The entire Dragon empire had come to know that the Lord had chosen a disciple from the general's household. The Emporer was already plotting on how to get that lucky to be his by marrying the general's daughter to the crown prince.

The general was left tongue-tied with everything that happened in his house. He was stuck between being happy about the fact that his daughter and sad that the Lord has demanded that she report to school first thing tomorrow. He wanted to spend some time with her and had a lot of questions to ask her.

"It's okay Junxiu dear, everything is going to be fine. Get ready and we will have breakfast," said Mrs. Gu who wasn't happy to see that the girl came back to life with so much luck. Her life was finally over and then suddenly she woke up with so many blessings from the Lord. She put on a fake smile and went on to pretend that she cared for Junxiu. She wanted her daughter to be the best at everything but now her husband's mistress was the one who got lucky. With her daughter being the Lord's disciple she will win the favor of everyone in the Manor.

"Sure," replied Sun-hee weirdly. She felt so weird in the new environment and didn't know what to do. She didn't know how she was going to survive in this world but she had to try. She got off the bed and moved to the washroom, there was a big indoor pool with hot water and flower petals that smelled so nice. She undressed and walked into the pool, the water felt awesome on her body and she loved every minute of it. She was seeing a few positives of coming to this world, the massive bed and the pool bath were a reason to stay here. She soaked herself in the water for a long time.

"How do you like the water beautiful," she heard and opened her eyes in freight. She found the handsome man from the lake in a red see-through robe in the pool with her. He moved from his end towards her until they were only inches away from each other.

"What are you doing here?" she asked nervously as she tried to contain the excitement in her chest and body. He didn't reply to her and closed the gap between them in one swift movement. She wanted to move away from but had no space to move to not to mention a part of her was enjoying the position they were standing on. She used her hand to try to push him away but he refused to move and just stared at her. She felt so worried that he might not like what he saw and hoped she looked beautiful.

She hadn't had the opportunity to check out her new body well so she had no idea what she looked like. She was sure of one thing and that was that she was young, how old she wasn't sure but a teenager at most. "Answer me," she demanded.

"What am I doing here? That is an interesting question to which I will have your answer. What am I doing here?" he asked her.

"Why are you asking me that?" she inquired.

"Because princess I am not real, you are daydreaming again. So tell me why am I here in your bath Sun-hee," he said and her jaw dropped. She was amazed at how perfect her brain had captured that man's beauty. She was fooled by it twice already but why was she thinking about that man again. Last night was understandable because she had a nightmare and he helped. But the reason she was thinking about him now was unknown to her.

She finished with her bath and got out of the pool, she turned around to thank her imaginary friend for his company he was gone. She walked back into the room and looked at something for her to wear. She only found ancient Chinese robes in her closet and nothing else and picked the lightest one that was not heavy. The robe was blue and put it on and put on her shoes and left for the door.

"Gu Junxiu, it is improper for a lady to walk with her hair loose. It is not permitted especially outside the house or inside a room full of men. There are so many men in the house the Emporer included so it would be best if you ford your hair," she heard from the talking fox.

" Emporer? Where the hell am I?" she asked out loud.

"You are in the Dragon Empire and yes the Emporer is here along with other important figures in the country. They heard about the Lord's message and rushed right over," he replied to her questions.

"What Lord and what is the message?" she asked out of curiosity.

"The Lord is the ruler of this whole continent. He is very powerful and runs the starry formation and he said that you together with your sister must report to the most prestigious school in the continent as a gift to the General's outstanding work," he said in a sleepy state.

"What is a starry formation,"

"Everyone in this world exists in form of a star and that means that as the Lord of this continent then it is his job to oversee every life here. The star is like your shadow and if he removed your star from the formation then you die and if he puts your star back once it falls then you come back to life. He can manipulate the stars to decide who becomes strong and who is weak or who is powerful and who is not. To decide who gets to rule specific parts of the continent," he said.

"So technically this Lord has a toy that manipulates people's lives," she concluded.

"Yes, so don't offend him. He can also destroy your soul and scatter it across the world with a flick of his finger. No matter what happens do Not offend him," he warned her.

"Okay, I won't. So to be clear he is powerful, can he also control time?" she asked getting excited to hear about this Lord.

"Yes he is an Ultimate tier so he can control time," he replied.

"What is an Ultimate tier?" she asked confused at the weird terms he was using.

"An ultimate tier is someone who can control the four T's," he stated in its so obvious manner.

"What is the for T's?" she asked irritating the fox who woke up from his sleep. He has never met anyone more idiotic in his 5,000 years of existence.

"Where were you born young one, even a three-year-old kid knows what the four T's are. Anyway, the four T's are the power of Telepathy, Time, Teleportation, and Telekinesis," he said and repositioned himself to sleep.

"Cool, so what powers do I have?" she asked excitedly.

"After our contract, you are now a level four cultivator, with the ability to control water, fire, earth, and air. There was only so much I could do, your body didn't have a single Qi in them and it was also full of impurities," he replied.

" Can you tell me about the levels and what level do I have to reach to control time and become a tier?" she asked with full excitement in learning and becoming powerful. The thought of having powers was making her happy. The fox broke out in laughter when he heard what she said. She wasn't just an i***t but also a comedian. She thinks that she can become a tier from level four.

" The highest level you can reach in this continent is level 14 and then you ascend to the heavens. In heaven, a level 14 is the beginner level and you need to level up to level 50 to be considered a cultivating master. A level 60 is considered capable of being given the title Overlord and then a level 100 gets the title, Lord. A level 500 cultivator becomes a tier of telepathy and adds another five hundred on that and you keep mastering the tiers and a level 2000 can control all four tiers and become an Ultimate master tier. Also, note that it takes years to ascend the heavens let alone become an ultimate master," he replied calmly and slowly so she understands. Sun hee was shocked so much after hearing that. She wanted to become a tier and go back home but now it all seemed impossible.

"So how old is the Lord exactly?"

"Oh, not very old. He is just 15,000 years old," he replied and drifted off to sleep.

"Fifteen thousand and you say he is not very old then who would you consider to be old?" she asked terrified.

"The Emporer of the heavens, he is 50,000 years old," he said and her mind almost exploded.
