《Path of the Lilies》48. Adult Conflict
Advertisement
“Stop running, you slippery b*tch! Face me head on if you’re a woman!”
“I’m already a woman since I was born. Why should I follow your request?” Ye Ai Xia replied nonchalantly. She twisted her body and evaded the next attack. Her agile movement agitated the angry Su Lian further.
Su Lian snorted and jumped up, before smashing the ground with her two fists. The ground shook badly, but Ye Ai Xia was able to escape with ease. Her eyes followed Su Lian’s movements carefully, making sure that the woman’s fist won’t hit her.
This ape woman’s power was much higher than a normal person. As Su Lian trained her Eon Energy to support her massive strength, she became a full-fledged tank. For Ye Ai Xia, getting hit by Su Lian might be her end because her strength was barely 10% of this woman’s.
“Come back here, you b*tch!”
“I’m over here,” Ye Ai Xia sighed in annoyance. She attempted her skill and appeared right behind Su Lian. Her hand was enveloped in Eon Energy as she slapped the woman’s head from the back. Right after she had done that, she disappeared from her place once more.
The back of a human’s neck was pretty fragile. When her head got hit, Su Lian couldn’t think of anything as she twisted her body and punched her fist forward as fast as possible. Unfortunately, she only hit thin air as Ye Ai Xia had returned back to her position.
“You!”
Ye Ai Xia smiled gently. “Yes?”
Su Lian’s breathing had started to become irregular thanks to the fight and after a series of vigorous movements to attack Ye Ai Xia, she didn’t have any strength left. She glanced to her guard.
“Be thankful that you’re still alive. I’ll come here again in the future.”

“Just come,” Ye Ai Xia replied indifferently. “I’m not going to stop you, but I’ll welcome you like this every single time you come here.”
Su Lian harrumphed. “We shall see how you can escape from this, Ai Xia.”
“Whatever it is, it’s not your problem,” Ye Ai Xia replied indifferently.
Turning around, Su Lian walked away from the path. Her eyes were filled with deep hatred. She came to humiliate Ye Ai Xia, but she didn’t expect that this woman still grew stronger again. In the past, she lost numerous times because she was lower in terms of rank compared with Ye Ai Xia.
Now, she had reached rank 3, yet Ye Ai Xia still could defeat her. Even though they should be on par because they were in the same rank, Ye Ai Xia seemed like she dealt with the others in ease.
Ye Ai Xia stood still in her place before turning to one side. She could feel faint presence of someone watching her. Her lips curled up and she mouthed out.
‘Wei Shang, did you have fun?’
Afterwards, Ye Ai Xia turned to the house and slammed the door shut.
Several dozen meters away from Ye Ai Xia’s position, right in the direction where she looked at just now, Wei Shang stood still. He wanted to see what would happen. He thought that Su Lian would be able to overpower Ye Ai Xia after giving some treasure. Unfortunately, that woman was still worthless.
“Wei Cheng, what’s your opinion of their fight?”
“Father, I think that mom is too agitated,” beside Wei Shang, Wei Chang was standing calmly. His irises were looking forward, clearly, he was in deep contemplation. “Normally speaking, Ye Ai Xia is not as strong as mom, but mom didn’t use her brain, so she attacks violently. The result is destruction, but not on the target.”

“Very well, how about Ye Ai Xia?”
“I’m not sure,” Wei Cheng frowned. “Based on the speed that I manage to see, she must have attempted numerous skills to escape from mom’s attack. After all, mom’s speed is not that bad. Probably, she’s exhausted, but she hides it.”
“Indeed,” Wei Shang’s eyes were locked on the residence for several seconds. “You shall go back and write the report to me. I want you to analyze everything.”
“Yes, Father.”
As the two figures disappeared, Ye Ai Xia returned to her room. She saw Ye Jiao sitting on their bed, her eyes were looking back with sparkles.
“Mom, you’re awesome!” Ye Jiao raised two of her thumbs.
Seeing Ye Jiao’s action, Ye Ai Xia had a feeling about how Ye Xiao managed to make their daughter idolize him. He must have showed off in front of Ye Jiao numerous times.
“It’s good that I can vent out a bit, but Ye Jiao, you shouldn’t follow my lead, okay?” Ye Ai Xia might be fine to deal with Su Lian. However, Ye Jiao’s small and fragile body wouldn’t be able to deal with the massive strength that Su Lian had. Just one punch might kill this girl.
Ye Jiao nodded her head. “When I become stronger, can I fight her?”
“Only if you become stronger.”
“Yes, Mom,” Ye Jiao nodded her head obediently. She looked straight to her mother in curiosity. “Mom, why does that woman want to create trouble for you?”
“That….” Ye Ai Xia didn’t know how to explain this to her daughter. Years ago, Wei Shang had a crush on her when she was still 14 years old. However, she rejected him badly because Wei Shang already had wives, sons and daughters. She also only liked her brother, who was clearly a big idiot because he never realized it.
She got into conflict with Wei Shang because of her refusal. At that time, Su Lian was angry because she rejected Wei Shang and caused the Wei Family to be in chaos. She was not sure what did Wei Shang did for Su Lian to hate her so much, even to the point of creating countless troubles for her. Even though Su Lian was far older, Su Lian’s strength was rather low, so Ye Ai Xia still could defeat the other party with ease.
Only after Wei Shang had restrained that woman was Ye Ai Xia able to have peace.
Ye Ai Xia looked at her daughter. It was actually a simple conflict, but it was kind of an adult thing. There was no way she wanted to let Ye Jiao know about such things at the tender age of eight.
“Mom?”
“I had some conflict with her in the past,” Ye Ai Xia replied.
Ye Jiao blinked. “But she’s already an old woman. Why would she create trouble for you, Mom?”
Pfft!
Ye Ai Xia almost laughed out loud. If Su Lian knew that she was called an old woman, that woman would surely be enraged. Still, it was rather true because Wei Shang was a decade older than her while Su Lian was seven years older than her. In a way, they were old people, right?
Thinking like this made Ye Ai Xia content as she smirked. “That’s because they’re petty people.”
“They’re so annoying.”
“Your mom agrees and now, you should take a bath.”
“Yes, Mom.”

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

I AM BRAND
"Fear is only as deep as the mind allows, and the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” -Travelling Poet "It was on a night, ever so dark, that I truly found out what horror was. The way of the profound means nothing, in fact, is not even considered a spec of dust in front of true strength. No mere mortal nor a mere god could achieve such strength, much less rival it.

I swear by the law on my follower's belief, that I would and will never forget that night for the rest of my life. The true fearsome power held by an unfathomable existence. Nothing in existence should hold such a power, and nothing should have such cruelty and high bearing. I have felt fear and will never forget it. Yet even now, I still feel the phantom pains from the limbs you ate and the heart you crushed; are you satisfied? Titan!." - Unknown God --------------------------------------------------------------- This is the story of BRAND

Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: End of the Five, Twenty-three, and Twenty-nine Years Story
Alternate titles: - Five, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Nine Years - 5, 23, 29 "Dad? I think I got a really bad fever, why do I still feel fine?" "It feels cold..." Five years ago, Owen became a Court Wizard in search of his father who was lost to the unknown three years prior. But that wasn't the beginning of the story. Maybe it began twenty-three years ago when Ronald Bell and Joshua Ruze saved the Illyer family. Or perhaps, it all started twenty-nine years ago, when Ronald, the son of the wealthiest merchant, became a Court Wizard. Well, it doesn't matter anymore, for the story five, twenty-three, and twenty-nine years ago shall now meet its end. 2nd book written in the Wizards of the Otherworldly series. Read Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia first. This story is split into two 'Collections,' Ronald's Collection and Owen's Collection, each centering around those Court Wizards. Crossposted with WordPress site, Wattpad, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu. Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a fantasy story about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and called themselves 'Court Wizards'. They are tasked to watch over the many worlds they come across and step into these worlds on 'missions' to preserve the balance, life, order, anything to make said worlds better places in the shadows but may reveal themselves if necessary. However, these missions may partially or even fully oppose their nature, personal interests, and ideals. Yet, most of the Court Wizards are aware and willing to complete even the worst missions that would shatter their true selves that they will never cast aside regardless, either growing or regressing because of it. Basically, it's isekai to multiple worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like Jojo.
