chapter 2

Ouyang Chinhua when through the line of clothes both male and female, they all seemed to be of good quality, she picked a black robe and placed it on the side, next she went to get a mask for her face.

"It won't damage my skin, right?"

"Not at all, master! I can guarantee you won't even feel it once it gets into your face…"

"Then, how do I remove it when I'm done?"

"There's water on the pedestal there, you use it to wash your face once and the mask would come off right away."

Ouyang Chinhua stared at the glass bowl, was it some kind of spiritual water or just normal water.

"You could say it's normal water, but this one is just purer…"

Ouyang Chinhua picked up a masked she liked and placed it on her face like An said it completely merged with her face, she couldn't tell the difference.

Thereafter, she wore the black robes and black boots.

She looked in a mirror and found out that she had been turned from a charming young lady to a dashing young man.

"Aiya I'm still too beautiful…"

"…"

"The mask changes your face but not your qualities, so you'll have to make do with it…"

Ouyang Chinhua nodded once she got out of the space she was no longer Chinhua but Huachin, Yang Huachin.

"I'll use gloves and a fan to cover my face and hands so they wouldn't be too noticeable…"

Ouyang Chinhua came out of the space, she was ready to leave, she gave her room a brief survey to see if anything was out of place.

She didn't know the exact time, but she had to be back within two hours so as not to cause a panic.

She had been poor of health, or so the nurses claimed, and thus she was never allowed to leave the manor.

But that crack in the wall had changed her life forever.

"An is there a way for me to conceal my abilities, so people won't know of it…"

This was the reason she was sold in her past life, she had not been able to conceal, thus revealing this ability when she left the manor.

"It's already concealed master, the sky phoenix bracelet. As long as it's in your body, your ability would always be concealed, though those stronger than you would be able to sense it eventually."

Ouyang Chinhua nodded, for now, that was good enough for her.

She opened the window and flipped out of the room, despite being a tool, she was asked to train every day, so she had picked up some basic martial arts techniques.

She looked both ways and flipped out the manor walls, perhaps if she went through the crack she might relive the same fate.

Warring continent, warring city, it was a beautiful place filled with beautiful people. However, the Qi was thin and that was why every practitioner sought after any Qi gathering tool they could find. And that's why she was sold at an every high price, 500 million spirit coins.

But this time around, she was doing the bidding.

She sat in a corner, waiting for the human hunters, she hadn't been out for long before she was captured.

And she thought of that in perfect timing as the human hunters rode in their wooden carriage, dressed looking like normal people, but their hearts were black. After they had taken her to where she wanted, she would slay them.

After a while of searching for a suitable prey, they got back into the carriage and off they went.

Ouyang Chinhua was that the opportunity had opened, so she quickly slipped under the carriage and hid there, no one would be able to sense that she was there.

************

Sleeves flowing in the wind, a young man walked into a rather shady looking building, a masked covering his face dressed in all white yet not a single peck of dust could be seen on his lavishly white robes.

"Master…this way please, the private room has been prepared…"

The man nodded and followed his subordinate lead him into the building.

It was filled with many people, but the private rooms were much more quieter.

"Do you think the azure tiger would really be in this auction…"

"Is that not why we are here? To see for ourselves…"

The young man replied as he waved his hand over the tea, clearing it of any impurities before drinking.

"They've gone into hiding for a long time, I wonder how this one got captured?"

The young man kept drinking the tea, only when he felt like he should reply did he speak up.

"It's obvious this one is foolish, you could say curious…"

"Curious?"

"My guess is that it's still young, they would never have been able to capture a fully grown azure tiger, it wouldn't even be able to fit into this room."

The subordinate stroked his chin thinking of what his master had analyzed, it made a lot of sense.

"So it's a baby, and it got curious about what the world was like outside their isolated world, so it came out and got captured…"

The young man nodded, he guessed that was what happened.

"But don't have the ability to change their form?"

The young man frowned and placed the tea cup on the table—"Stupid!"

"…."

The subordinate scratched his head, thinking of what he had said wrong.

"You just said it was a baby, how could it know how to change its form…"

"Ai! Master you're right, I really am stupid…"

"I agree…"

"…"

"Halt, show your pass before you can go in…"

The guards at the entrance stopped the carriage as one of the men got down to show the guard their pass.

He nodded and said, "You may pass…"

The carriage drove in and Ouyang Chinhua had taken the opportunity to slip out.

Hiding within the crowd, no one would wonder how she got in, besides here it was money that talked.
