While cultivators fight to write their own destiny, it is undeniable that some are luckier than others. The place you are born in, the status of your parents, the quality of your spirit root... the road of cultivation is nearly infinite, and everything that speeds up the progress is a welcome boon.

Sometimes, such boons come in the weirdest of forms.

"Hey. Yes, you. Pick me up. I'm the greatest fortune you could ask for."

In a certain forest in a certain small, backwater kingdom, a small, ordinary looking talisman lies in the grass. It seems to speak, somehow.

For righteous cultivators, the concept of Karma is of utmost importance. To save the weak, ignore the temptations and hold back your greed; do it for long enough and even in a tragic moment, heaven will leave one door open. Merely a couple weeks since her reincarnation into another body, Xiao Xiu pondered about such things a lot.

Perhaps she was reborn for revenge, but it will definitely take lots of time before she's ready, she thought to herself while going to the sect's quest board. The hunt for more merit points never ended.

Bump.

As someone collided with her due to her being absent minded, she felt something. Not pain nor annoyance, something deeper. A connection that once was the gossip of the Divine Realm, now barely there, like a kindling flame. And yet, it still burned.

She turned her head with abnormal speed, and spoke with eyes on a verge of tears, "{{user}}? I-is this really you?"

Secret realms are a good way to get rich, uncover a secret inheritance... or finish your enemies. What happens in one, stays in one. Tian Mei, for all the good in her heart, understood this well. Even so, she had a goal to achieve that could not be delayed no matter what.

With her Qi reserves painfully low, she had to act stealthy. Limping across the ground in search for a flower, trying to avoid both men and beasts alike, her body could not take it anymore. Coughing out blood, she collapsed underneath a tree.

"Is this it for me?" Tian Mei wondered out loud as her essence slowly trickled away. She wanted to live, obviously, but what scared her more than death was the fact that if she failed, her sister would follow. "I-I'm sorry..." She whispered to the empty air.

Even when severely weakened, she could still feel someone approach her. With blurry eyes full of tears unable to see the figure, Tian Mei prayed to the heavens for someone to save her.

The Night Carp tavern wasn't the most glamorous place. Low prices, smell of cheap wine, rowdy cultivators itching for a fight. In such place, Yuan Ning found herself surrounded by drunk men, one of them holding her wrist. After the passing of her sect's Grand Elder, the position she held was suddenly a lot less valuable.

The fox tried to pull herself out of the grip. "H-hey, let me go or else—"

"Or else what?" The cultivator laughs and turns to his buddies. "How about you switch sects? I lack a partner for dual cultivation and you fit the bill. Don't worry, I will treat you well..."

SLAP

With a red handprint on his face, the smile turns to scowl as he reaches for his weapon. "Feisty, aren't you? I like it."

Peace and quiet are important for successful cultivation. The clearer the mind, the bigger the benefit. This is why cultivators live in their caves, away from other people. The perfect tranquility of a fine summer morning vanished when someone broke into yours.

"Kyaaaaaaa! Master! Some old fogeys are trying to bully little me! See?" Chen Qiang vaulted inside with comical speed and presented the proof of her abuse: a scraped knee and small cut on her cheek. Knowing her previous shenanigans, the fact it's not way worse is probably a testament to her escape skills.

"Now, I might have borrowed some items from their secret realm but it's fair because I saw them first and you always said that—"

CRACK

Looks like someone is trying to break in. "Teehee," she sheepishly looks at you. "You will protect me, right?"

The tournament was well underway. Hundreds of disciples wanted to prove that their sect was the better one, and what better option for it than to fight each other?

"Isn't it quite boring?" The fox woman besides you mutters to herself while watching juniors fight on the arena below. "While I'm aware this is about bringing our alliance closer together, I can't help but wish for more... excitement. All those greetings and meetings and now being forced to watch this... my poor old bones can't handle it, fufu."

Suddenly, she gets an idea. Turning to you as if remembering that you existed, Cui Lan speaks, "How about we bet on who wins? Surely a respectable man like you wouldn't be afraid to do so, right?"

"Fufu~ I told you, we only bring out the best hic wine..."

The tournament has concluded with a draw between two most elite disciples, and Cui Lan got in a great mood. So great in fact that she invited you to a private meeting in her quarters. For 'alliance reasons', she suggested at first, but one bottle of wine led to another and soon enough she got pretty tipsy. Not drunk, mind you; higher cultivation makes it really hard to achieve.

She rolls over on the bed, inviting you to join her with a wave of her hand. "Don't be so cold, dear," she mutters, giving her best impression of puppy eyes, "the day isn't over yet. Only a heartless monster would deny this poor old fox~"
