Not too far from the Forest, there is a small city (Xianxia world setting) and seem like the city was very busy as streams of people walked.
As people went on with their lives, something was happening inside a mansion which would start Sun Zhen's adventure in this bizarre and new World.
"Do you know about the Light in the sky one month ago?"
"Yes, I saw it"
Inside a room, 2 middle age man were talking about Sun Zhen while drinking tea. One of them had a scar on his face while others looked he lost his left eye and had to wear an eye patch. What most surprised about them was that they were all over 2 meters tall, even taller than some basketball players.
"Well, Xiao Ying wants to find it. I tell her no but she keeps saying that she will stop cultivating until I allowed her" The man with the scar said with worry and little embarrassed of his daughter action.
"And? Do you call me here just to ask for some of my soldiers to protect her on the way there?" The eye patch guy laughed and poured more tea into his cup
"Your soldiers are best Qi Gathering (Juqi for short) stage in the city, some of them even are late stage. All I ask is a group of them to go with my daughter on her 'fantasy' journey. I can't go with her because I have something to do and I don't trust mercenary" The scar guy took the teapot and put it under the table
"...10 Spirit Stone (SS), that it's my only price for your daughter protection. No bargain"
"What??? Are you serious"
The conversation between them stopped as they stared at each other until the scar guy somehow brought out 10 small blue color stones.
"I want the bests among them to protect her. If they failed, I would kill your organization myself" The scar guy threatened the other guy as everything inside the room started shaking until the teacups on the table blew up into pieces.
The Eye patch man didn't care, took the stones and he left the room with a smile on his face.

*2 days later*
"Yayyyy, thanks dad. I promise I will bring you the falling star" A young girl, about 13 years and had a ponytail style, black hair, and her appearance would be described as a cute girl and she was now hugging the scar guy. She is the scar guy's daughter and her name is Xiao Ying.
"Okay. Now I want to remind you that you have to stay close to those men during your journey" He pointed at a group of 4 men that wore the same clothes as the Eye Patch man.
"Don't worry dad" she kissed him on the cheek then ran to the group of bodyguards that her dad hired.
*Inside the forest*
"Young miss, are you sure that we are going in the right direction?" Guard#1 said to the young girl with a worried voice.
He and other 3 men were the strongest elite among the fighters, they usually left tasks to their subordinates but now they were forced to follow her because the boss ordered them.
"Seriously? We have to stop our training just because of one girl's stupid wish" Guard#2 thought in his mind as he followed the group from behind
"Damn look at that cute girl...Too bad she is Xiao Clan's prime daughter. If not, I could taste her myself" Guard#3 whispered to Guard#4 while looking at the young girl.
"Wash your stink mouth, do you want to get us into trouble. If she told her dad then we are finished" Guard#4 started to distance himself from the guy.
"It isn't far from here and I already bought a map from the hunters. Don't worry too much, those hunters won't dare to sell me a fake one even if they had cultivators" She spoke with confidence and mature was totally different from her childishness she showed to her dad.
Xiao Ying's character changed didn't make the guards suspicious or find anything weird about her.
About 30 minutes later, they were still following her then suddenly one of the guards shouted.
"I feel something is coming...and it has a large amount of Qi" Guard#2 had the best sense among them so he could feel Qi much further away.
"Get ready guys. Young miss, please stay back" When Guard#1 gave the command, all of them stood in a formation while Xiao Ying stayed back.
Soon they heard the sound of heavy footsteps, the sound indicated that its a very big beast. The guards started to power up their Qi to maximum and waited for it to come.
But to their surprises, it didn't come for 5 minutes and there weren't any more footsteps. Guard#1 then asked Guard#2 about the thing he sensed before but he said that he didn't find it with his sense anymore.
"Maybe it doesn't want to mess with us so it leaves" Guard#2 came up with his own theory
"Who knows? Just glad that we aren't in danger"
"Young Miss, please stay close"
"Yeah, stay close to me. If it comes again, I will..." Before Guard#3 could speak more, something grabbed his head and twisted it 180 degrees.
Guard#3 was dead less than a second and the group looked up and saw the monster that they never heard or seen before. Its size was bigger than a normal human, it had 2 extremely muscular arms that reached the feet and short legs. Its whole body had the dark and green color mixed while the eyes showed how wild and bloodlust of the beast.
It was an Ape that over 2m tall and it just killed one Guard with just using its leg to grab his head. The other Guards first action was to bring out their sword and attacked it. Xiao Ying, on the other hand, already ran away the moment Guard#3 died.
When Guard#1's sword almost reached the Ape, it jumped down and used Guard#3's body as a weapon then clashed with the swords from other guards. The dead body was being destroyed by both of the party, swords and brute force.
They never saw such animal that used the human body as a weapon before and it used the body very well. Using the opportunity of shock, the Ape threw the body at Guard#2 and attacked him by grabbing his head and twisted it like Guard#3.
They were called the strongest Juqi cultivators in the faction but now they were just weak and pathetic in front of this beast. The other 2 realized this and started running away as fast as possible. Seeing its preys ran away, the Ape grabbed the dead bodies then hang those bodies with tree vines so that the food wouldn't be taken away by other beasts. It didn't worry about the others ran away as it already marked them with its smell.
-------
At the same time, somewhere in the forest.
"Damn the river is cold" Today Sun Zhen tried to catch some fishes but they were just too fast, he hadn't learned anything about fish catching and only saw it on TV. Don't even ask about a fishing rod, it took more than 50 code lines to make one.
He even tried the method with a rope and a bait but it didn't work as those fishes kept avoiding the bait, maybe they didn't like it.
"Maybe I can catch that big one over there" He saw a big thing coming at him and assumed that it was a fish.
When it came near enough, he saw what it was and very shocked. It was a girl that dressed in old Chinese clothes like in the movies.
He ran at her and checked her to see that if she was alive or dead. He was relieved as she was breathing and still had warmth on her body. He then grabbed her and took her to his place
*Inside the house*
Because of wet clothes on her body, Sun Zhen had to take off her clothes. Despite she had a great body, he didn't even care as he changed the clothes to leather.
What do you expect from him? The guy is from Earth where porn is everywhere on the internet and he even saw naked supermodels daily on his private website. Besides, he once had a girlfriend and already lost "virginity" so his lust wasn't that much of a problem.
As he finished changing her clothes to leather, he then took her wet clothes then put them onto Block.
[Silk/code:*#€<£...]
"Finally I can wear normal clothes again"
Leather clothes weren't the best to wear for comfort so he tried to look for other materials but none of them suit him but now heaven had gifted what he wanted. After getting what he wanted, he summoned the Block back just in case she woke up.
*2 hours later*
"...my head hurt...Where am I?...why the bed felt so weird" Xiao Ying soon found out she was in an unfamiliar place and the blue color bed she lied on, was very comfortable.
Curious, she touched the bed which felt warm and soft like touching the water but not cold or wet. "What kind of material this bed made of?" She wondered but she soon went back to caution as she was still in a strange place.
She then looked around and found a bowl of apples on the table. She never saw this kind of apples before so she got curious again and took one apple to taste.
"So soft...and delicious" She screamed in her mind as she took more apples to eat. The softness and the explosive of sweetness after bites but most important of all, she could feel the warmth went through her body and restored her Qi.
"Is this what she looking for? This stuff amazing" She was so into eating those apples that she didn't notice Sun Zhen who already came in and shocked to see a young lady eating apples like there is no tomorrow.
When she finished all the apples in the bowl, she smiled with satisfaction as she filled her stomach with foods and Qi. She soon realized that there was a person behind so she looked back and saw a handsome young man.
Her face then slowly turned red and hid her face behind her hands, she knew that the young man saw her eating manner.
"I see you like the apples, do you want more?" Seeing that the girl was too embarrassed, Sun Zhen offered her more apples to lessen the awkward atmosphere.
After hearing the words Apples, she nodded her head slightly as she wanted to taste more those apples.
"She must really like those apples" Sun Zhen then brought out another bowl of apples from a desk and gave it to her.
Not like last time, Xiao Ying picked up one apple and bit only a small portion of it, just like a proper lady. Sun Zhen saw that she had calmed down so he picked an apple as he spoke to her.
"My name is Sun Zhen. What is your name?"
Xiao Ying saw that the young man wanted to know about her. She was a little hesitated but gave up and spoke her name.
"....Ying, Xiao Ying Of Xiao family"
