Xia Yu went to the martial arts room in the pagoda, when she opened the door a hologram instantly appeared.
The hologram bowed and introduced itself as her martial art instructor. The martial arts hall was very big, it could contain over 2000 people.
Xia Yu rubbed her palms together excitedly, this is gonna be fun.

The air was ambiguous as heavy pants were heard. A man got down from a woman and laid beside her. The woman had a smile on her lips as she cuddled into the arms of her lover.
" You're a bad girl, I wonder who spoilt you " the man said.
The woman chuckled " of course it's you."
Her expression turned gloomy when she thought of something. " How much longer do I have to be hidden, I'm tired of being with you in the shadows. When can our relationship be publicized? "
When he saw his lover's downcast look, he was sad. " I'm sorry, you have to go through all this because of me. If my grandfather and Xia Yu's grandfather weren't friends I wouldn't have dated her. I had no choice but don't worry, I made a deal with my grandpa, if Xia Yu doesn't show interest in marrying me in a month then I can break up with her. "
" But what if she does? "
The man sneered " I'll make sure she doesn't get to see the light of another day. "
These two people were Xia Yu's boyfriend and bestfriend. Qin Bai and Yang Ling.
Although Qin Bai said that, Yang Ling couldn't help but feel hatred for Xia Yu. Qin Bai and Yang Ling were secretly dating in highschool until Qin Bai's grandfather suddenly asked him to date Xia Yu.
That day her heart shattered, why did Qin Bai's grandfather ask him to date a poor and ugly girl like Xia Yu. She had always hated Xia Yu and had always schemed against her in school but of course no body knew about that.
Her hatred started really small when she was always compared to Xia Yu who was smarter than her. Whenever the two girls played when they were younger, people would always give Xia Yu the better things and give her the things Xia Yu didn't want. Other children preferred to play with Xia Yu than with her. They were both friends so why did she have to live under Xia Yu's shadow.
As time passed on she decided to take away everything Xia Yu had and make her life miserable. She ensured she crushed every hope Xia Yu felt and made Xia Yu feel like she was plagued by bad luck. She started by playing the good friend card and asking Xia Yu to cover up her beauty. Truthfully she was jealous of Xia Yu's good looks, so that was what she started with. With time she was gradually able to control Xia Yu without her knowledge.
Both lovers where engrossed in their own thoughts.

Xia Yu walked out of the house her adoptive father gave her to live in.
She had come out of the space a few minutes ago only to find out that the two months she spent in the space was two days in the real world. It took her those two months in the space for her to understand the functionality of the space, now all that was left was for her to have fun. There were a lot of things she wanted to do but couldn't now she could.
Xia Yu walked into a mall with the bank card her father gave her in hand. Like a shock wave of voices swarmed into her head. Not only that but she also got slammed with emotions that weren't hers. She held her throbbing head and walked unsteadily towards the bathroom as she tried to send some of her internal energy to her head. The pain was reducing but at a very slow rate.
Xia Yu really needed to find a place to sit otherwise there was no telling when she would collapse. She was pulled straight off and was enclosed into the arms of someone.
" Just stay here, you are safe " a deep melodious voice caused Xia Yu to be stunned and for some reason that voice calmed down the excruciating pain she felt.
Wait she's heard this voice before.
Xia Yu looked up and just as she thought it really was someone she knew or met before.
Are the heavens mocking me? Why does this dude show up everywhere?
The man chuckled " Judging by the look on your face, I can tell you have figured out who I am."
" Fu Chen are you stalking me? " Xia Yu calmed down for the initial pain in the head and shock from meeting Fu Chen.
" What if I said yes? ". He asked looking straight into her eyes as if he was trying to see through her.
Xia Yu met his gaze confidently. " Well are you?"
" Yes "
" Why? "
'I thought the madam would suffer in the hands of master but I guess I was wrong'
Xia Yu turned towards Er Mao who was standing beside Fu Chen, Er Mao was so frightened when Xia Yu suddenly turned her gaze to him. What if Fu Chen misunderstood? That would be catastrophic.
Xia Yu's face turned into a frown, she was sure she heard him say something.
'Why is she looking at Er Mao? Don't tell me is has taken a liking to him? If she does I'll make sure he disappears from the face of the Earth' Fu Chen glared at Er Mao and Er Mao shrunk back as much as possible so as to make his presence unknown.
" What did you say? " Xia Yu turned her attention back to Fu Chen
" I didn't say anything. " Fu Chen was flustered. He had a feeling that she could read his thoughts.
Xia Yu was now hundred percent sure that she could read minds. That was probably what caused the pain earlier. But how did she get this power, the apocalypse hasn't started yet and she can't get powers until then. The only other explanation is that the pure energy and air coupled with the cleansing pill she took gave her powers.
Thinking about that Xia Yu was excited.
