Jade Book
Qing Xiaoyue tried opening a jade book she thought was interesting and mysterious, but she could not open it. She panicked; it was beyond her comprehension. She tried to comprehend the text. It took her half the night to develop a vague notion for what the two characters on it were. She surmised they were ancient characters. She wondered if the book was stolen from a tomb. She took a photo of it and uploaded it to the internet for someone to feed her answers. It was so rare she had to photograph it. She could not release the photo to the public without permission. She calmed herself down. Yang Tian’s battered, yet tough as steel, body scared her.
Qing Xiaoyue exited the room and locked the door. She slouched into the chair by the window and folded her arms. Her black sleeveless qipao highlighted her curvaceous body. She peered out the window.
Someone online responded in the middle of the night, but there were only questions of where she found the book instead of answers to her questions. She fell asleep until the sunlight woke her up. The first thing she did was dash into Yang Tian’s room, where he was still sleeping. Her heart raced when she approached him. She could not believe his life force was still so strong after food and water deprivation for five days.
At some secret office in some country, three pairs of eyes stared at the photo Qing Xiaoyue uploaded. Professor Bryan, a middle-aged man with blonde hair, a lanky appearance and blue eyes, said they were looking at two characters. The big man cheerfully expressed his theory was somebody took the jade.
The duo went to the experiment room the copper altar was placed. Various instruments inspected it. Researches stood around talking. If they could capture the mysterious individual their nation would be among the strongest in the world.
According to China’s ancient history, there were people who could fly and live for ages. The mysterious individual came to them on the altar.
A youth in a suit said, “The uploader is Qing Xiaoyue. She resides in S City.”
“All right. Blake, you go and capture her. Don’t alert China’s upper echelon. Dispatch our best team!’
Blake nodded.

At S City.
Yang Tian could not find enough Heaven and Earth energy. He was still deep asleep. The dao voice in him was weak. His eyelid twitched. He frowned. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around in a groggy state. He did not recognise the strange furniture. He got to his feet. He found he was dressed in strange clothing. He was at some mysterious place. He could not use his Divine Soul. He sighed. He still had not found a way to erase the curse on him. He presumed he was at Dao’s place of origin, which meant there would be a way to remove the curse. He suddenly heard noises outside. He sighed and decided to learn more about the world he was in first.
In the guest hall, a handsome youth, Jiang Feng, dressed in a tuxedo pleaded Qing Xieyue to take him back, telling her he convinced his parents to let them be together; however, she smirked and snorted. “Hmph, we’re done. Your family is oh-so-great. Don’t come here again.”
Jiang Feng furrowed his eyebrows and carried on pleading, “I’m sorry. What do you want me to do? I can’t defy my parents’ wishes.”
“You’re right. Your parents want you to marry a girl of equal status and wealth. Who am I?” Qing Xiaoyue pointed to herself with her smirk. “I’m a small-time doctor. We’re not compatible. Go look for a rich girl.”
“Xiaoyue, you know I don’t care about that stuff.”
“Hmph, I do.” Qing Xiaoyue opened the door and resolutely said, “Get out. We’re done.”
“Don’t be so stubborn. Qing Xiaoyue. Countless girls wish to, yet can’t, marry into my family…” fumed Jiang Feng.
Qing Xiaoyue frowned. “Shut up. I have no interest in your family’s money. Get out or I’m calling the police!”
“Hmph! Call the police?” Jiang Feng scanned the room. “Oh, I get it now. You have a man. You two have been going at it for five days nonstop. You must’ve drained him by now, huh?”
Yang Tian’s mouth twitched.
Slap!
“How dare you hit me?!” thundered Jiang Feng, scowling after he was slapped across the face. He grabbed Qing Xiaoyue and thundered, “I used to like you because you were a virgin, but you’re no longer one, are you? I’m going to bang you and then sell you to Nation C as a prostitute!”
