Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist Chapter 71
Advertisement
Li Ming was sitting with her back towards the cliffs, that's why she didn't see the bright light that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared just as quickly.
Everything was again back to normal inside the Godly Maple Tree as it was only a few seconds before.
Li Ming turned through the old yellow pages of the little book which was lying open in her lap and found an image of a scepter that someone had drawn.
One thing that Li Ming noticed about the book was that it was handwritten, but again was she really expecting a printed book? Definitely No!
The moonlight was bright enough that Li Ming could read the words written on the book but the image was so old that the color had smeared together and that made it hard to clearly observe the scepter.
Li Ming took out a torch from her storage and shone it directly at the painted photo of the scepter.
It was an iron scepter which was probably made of different parts of some machines. Some that Li Ming could recognize like the car keys fixed at the lower level or the cd disk at the top, but she had no idea about the others.
It reminded Li Ming of the Tinker fairies. After all, they were known for creating miracles out of unused or waste materials.
On top of the scepter, a blue stone was placed which was shining brightly.
Li Ming wanted to read through the pages which held information about the different pixie dusts and the abilities that they provided to the pixies, but the scepter had already succeeded in attracting her attention towards itself.
Li Ming was feeling too energized to sleep, exactly opposite to how she was feeling barely an hour ago.
The 'Divine Lotus' had shown it's magic and now she was fully recharged. That's why she decided to carry on with the task of creating pixie dust.
There was still too much to do and the sooner she would complete this task the sooner she could start working on the other important matters.
She had been away from the Black Jade Inn and the Dongji village for quite some time by now and there were too many important businesses that she needed to deal with as soon as possible.

Before she could deal with one problem, another one was already waiting there for her.
She also had no idea about what was going on in the Xin Que City or at the Prime Minister Manor.
Li Ming's bucket list of the things that she needed to start or create to make things easier, were too long to be possible.
Li Ming suddenly missed Cherry, her PA back in her previous life. Her life was also fully packed with business deals and clan matters back then and she barely had any time to take a break.
The same thing was starting to happen here and she suddenly felt the need to hire a PA who would keep a proper tab of all her important business matters and schedule them properly.
Li Ming let out a frustrated sigh. Of course, she would not find any PA here in this world.
After looking at the photo for a few more minutes, she finally closed the book and put both the torch and the book back in the spell room of the mansion.
She remembered something that the baby fox had told her before it left with Snowy.
She decided to test it. She took a deep breath before walking at the end of the enormous lotus flower.
A particular petal was a little shade lighter than the rest. The moment Li Ming stopped in front of that particular petal, it bent backward and opened a little gap in the tightly enclosed petals.
The flower lowered a little into the water so Li Ming could easily climb out of it.
Before her feet could touch the water, a small lotus flower appeared beneath her feet out of nowhere. It was big and strong enough to bear Li Ming's weight.
As she kept walking forward new flowers kept appearing while the previous ones again vanished beneath the water.
This kept repeating until Li Ming finally arrived where the nine stones were gleaming under the bright moonlight.
Li Ming closed her eyes and focused her energy on her creation magic. She started chanting a spell in a small voice.
Two ribbons, one white and one golden, appeared out of thin air and started knotting with one another in front of her, a little bit above the water surface.

Her eyes were tightly closed as she kept her focus on the design of her creation.
It felt like hours but was actually just a few minutes. In place of the knitted ribbons, a very beautifully designed scepter of pure gold with silver designs was floating in the air.
Li Ming stretched her right hand out and the scepter floated right into it.
A pout appeared on her beautiful face as she looked at the scepter. The gold and silver hadn't appeared out of thin air. If she was powerful enough to produce something as precious as gold from out of nowhere, then she would probably be the richest person in the entire universe. But unfortunately or maybe fortunately, magic didn't work like that.
The gold and silver that Li Ming had used to create the scepter actually came from the two vases that were placed on the first shelf of her Treasury.
She had used them to create this beautiful scepter.
And as for the Treasury, of course, the freaking mansion would have a treasury in it. After all, it was the hidden home of all the previous heads of the mage clan.
All the precious stones, jewels, books, elixirs, weapons, medicines, charms, and artifacts that they had found throughout their lives were kept inside the treasury of the mansion because it's the safest bank.
That treasury had a billions worth of valuables but of course, Li Ming decided to never use them.
This was actually the first time in more than a century when something was taken out of the treasury but the good thing was that those two vases were a gift from the siren prince to Li Ming on her eighth birthday.
Therefore, in short, Li Ming only used something from the treasury that was actually owned by her in the first place.
She shook her head to get rid of her unwanted and also unappreciated thoughts. She placed the scepter on the lotus flower which emerged out of the water, the exact moment as the scepter was about to touch the surface of the water.
Another spell made sure that it was not going tumbling down into the water with just a whiff of the wind.
She took out a large glass bowl and held it beneath the lotus flower with the blue Moonstone.
Li Ming looked at the Moonstone and plucked it out of it's flower with a light force. The moment the stone left the flower its petals started dropping.
But rather than dropping into the water, they ended up inside the bowl which Li Ming had placed beneath it.
After all the petals were securely collected in the bowl, Li Ming sent it too into her spell room.
She gently placed the Moonstone on the Scepter and the stone fit perfectly on it.
The scepter was already beautiful but the Moonstone increased its beauty to another level. Gold, Silver, and a shining blue stone that was looking even more mesmerizing than a Sapphire.
She admired her creation for a few seconds before the same bright light from a few minutes ago, again shone on the top of the cliffs.
Since Li Ming had changed her position and currently she was facing towards the cliffs, therefore this time she noticed the light.
A slight frown appeared on her face as she stared at the same place where the light had shone barely a few seconds ago but now it was back to normal again.
She decided to teleport at the top of the cliffs to take a look.
Li Ming could use her teleportation power as long as she had seen her destination at least once, so that she could picture that place in her mind to teleport there.
This could also work if the mage had a picture of that place where he|she wanna go but this took a lot more energy than the normal teleportation.
And back in her previous life, Li Ming still had to achieve that level in teleportation.
Since she could clearly see the cliffs in front of her. She could picture that top while teleporting and using her teleportation magic to go there won't be really a bad idea.
Only if she knew!
Li Ming stared at the top of cliffs where she had seen the bright light before it disappeared in barely a few seconds, and then she closed her eyes and teleported.

Yet Another RimWorld (Dropped)
*Fanfiction based on the game RimWorld*A more realistic take of RimWorld, where we follow the pawns that must struggle to survive in yet another Rimworld. Their stories, guided by a particularly playful narrator, will tell the tales of survival, defeat, gains, losses, triumph, and ultimately ruin. Trials faced by people, in places of various circumstances, will be observed and presented to its audience. What will be presented here are insignificant snippets of history, merely few of the innumerable tales and prospects to be found across this wide galaxy; The things we discover from these pawns, so many yet so few. Ultimately, they are just more drama meant for enjoyment, albeit in a twisted way. A/N:This is a fanfiction, based on the game "RimWorld". Using my personal gameplays as a basis for this fanfiction, in addition to some embellishments here and there. Unlike the silly antics that caused grave consequences if you had ever played RimWorld, my rendition will (hopefully) stay more grounded to reality, whereby no one will go beserk and dig up corpses if they can't eat on a table for 3 days in a row. That's all I need to say, you get the point. I'm writing this for fun. So please expect me to be inconsistent. Lastly, I am incredibly grateful to Tynan Sylvester for the game he created, "RimWorld", which is loved by many across the world and it will always remain a special place in my heart. For without his game, my work would not exist.
