Chapter 2 - He yunxia

With the breezes brushing through, the tall, straight trees, it waved like the seaweeds from the ocean. The fresh air relaxed my body on the chair I was sitting in. The air was mixed with carbon, nitrogen and another element. Called yuan energy. Absorbing the yuan energy and making it your own qi is a way to cultivate. The more and faster you can absorb and change it into your own the faster you can level up. Of course, that's not the only way to ascend to your next big stage. You can consume precious pills and other expensive heavenly plants to level up, but it's not as stable for you.

The best way is to learn martial arts targetting strength and all kinds of things. The most important thing in this world are skill books. You can learn how to make magic appear with it. People later invented all kinds of skills to use. Some can harm people and some can save people. The choice is all up to you, on which one you want to learn. You can also come up with your own, but that's kind of challenging. Anyways, there are skills that are beyond your imagination. When I got transferred into this body, my mind popped up a bunch of book covers and deep information within them. The weird thing is  that a whole library lives in this brain. I can just close my eyes and suddenly it pulls me into a huge library, like a realm in my brain. I can take out books from bookshelfs and when I imagine a table, it just pops out from thin air. The place also looks super cool.

I opened my eyes, to see the tree branches infront of me still going back and forth. Maybe I should go to the culesa forest later, after a few days or months. Right now I'm just too lazy to do anything. It's almost time for lunch, so my brother should be home soon.

I really want to go outside of this comforting home and explore to see the outside world. My parents won't allow me though, since they still think I'm on stage opening light start. I mean like, everyone in this city knows. How I'm just a weak and good-for-nothing daugther. They all think that the only thing I have is looks. Sometimes this society really bothers me. It's not just the strong will always be on top of everyone, plus if they looked great, everyone will be willing to serve them and satisfy them even more. But it doesn't matter. Every society is similar to that too. The only speical thing I like about this world is that you won't get discriminated against genders. Woman can't get treated like objects, sometimes including men too. It really amazed me when I came here.

"Lady he it's time for lunch." A servent walked slowly and told me in a soft voice. He yunxia is my full name. He for he hua, which stands for lotus flower, yun for clouds and Xia for summer. My parents named that, because I was born in the summer with fluffy white clouds and baby blue sky. Last my surname is just he, because my family is the he family.
