Quick Transmigration: The Queen's Worlds

Chapter 21 - The Ex-Assassin Is A Cultivator! (8)

'System, what should I do now? I ruined the Battle Of The Geniuses competition!' Xia Zhilan complained .

Now that Su Mei and Jiang Li can no longer be known as the most talented people of this era and Zhilan is the public's number one enemy, she has no choice but to go into hiding and cultivate. Afterall she is only an insignificant 7th stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Thousands of people are much stronger than her currently.

"I didn't know my own talent could be so detrimental to my safety..." Xia Zhilan muttered to herself as she looked for a nice place to stay and train.

'Host can you not be so shameless?' System 005 thought to itself whilst rolling it's eyes.

'Hey! What do you mean? Is it wrong to love yourself?' Xia Zhilan said righteously 'My naiive little system, self-love is essential for a healthy mind. Vanity? Never heard of her. Personally, I feel that I *am* better than everyone else, even better than you, my stupid but dear system!'

System: ...

Xia Zhilan called out to 005 however after a couple attempts she realised the system was ignoring her.

'System 005, it's alright to be a little dumb sometimes, even I, Xia Zhilan, make mistakes but this doesn't mean that you should feel self-conscious about yourself. Like I said earlier, self-love is essential for a healthy mind! I accept everyone as they are, stupid or not.'

System: ....

'System? System 005! Hello?!'

1 hour later...

Xia Zhilan finally found a beautiful spot in the middle of the forest which happened to have another dry cave nearby and decided to settle down here.

'Guess this will be my home for a couple months... At least it's a lot more peaceful than having that annoying Ye Jiangyu guy around!' Xia Zhilan thought comfortingly.

'Being chased by powerful strangers and forced to live in a forest is better than Ye Jiangyu?' the System suddenly asked in an incredulous voice

'Ah, system! You're talking to me again? I'm really glad and yes, I do think it's better than Ye Jiangyu. He was really annoying' Xia Zhilan told System 005 whilst getting annoyed at the couple years that she had to deal with him for 'And really possessive! But what should I expect from the male lead? Poor female leads...'

'Well, I guess a lot of authors really like that kind of characters' said the system

'If he wasn't very handsome, everyone would have a hated him' Zhilan thought as she rolled her eyes.

'Wait, why am I even talking to you?' System 005 said suddenly 'I thought I was too dumb for you, host. Don't talk to me anymore!"

After being ignored by the system, Xia Zhilan finally stopped procrastinating and found a comfortable place in the cave and started her cultivation.

10 months later...

On the top floor of a crowded but fancy restaurant was group of 4 people were excitedly gossiping about some recent events.

"Did you hear about the Heavenly Pavillion Sect?" a the woman on the far left asked

"What happened? Are they still trying to find that woman? " the handsome man said in a bored tone.

"Of course they are." the woman butted in "But what are they even looking for?"

"Huh, haven't you heard the rumours?" the other man asked curiously

"Apparently that woman found a legendary treasure." a cold-faced woman said "Of course it's only a rumour. Who knows if it's actually true...."

"A legendary treasure?" the handsome man asked excitedly as his eyes flashed with greed "Do you know where that woman is now?"

"Are you an idiot?" the cold woman snapped annoyedly "If the Heavenly Pavillion Sect doesn't know, how the h*ll would I know?"

The man laughed awkwardly whilst scratching his head "Well... Do you know what her name is at least?"

"Of course I do" the woman said with a smirk "But why should I tell you?"

"C'mon, Su Mei! We've been teammates for over 3 months now! Can't you at least tell us the name of that woman?" the other girl asked cutely

"Yeah, Su Mei!" the man joined in

Rolling her eyes, Su Mei said angrily "Teammates? We all know that you guys are just using me to get by. Without me you'll still be stuck in that forest."

After talking, she stood up and walked out without turning back.

"Bai Yimei..." she mumbled softly under her breathe as she left.

Unknowingly a tall man wearing a black cloak which hid his face suddenly looked up as she said that and slowly dissappeared into the shadows.

"Bai Yimei huh...?"

Meanwhile Xia Zhilan was sitting in her cave eand cultivating however at that moment she opened her eyes and yawned tiredly.

"Wow I feel so refreshed! Who knew cultivating would be so good for your health and I don't even feel hungry!" she mumbled to herself as she stretched. "If only I knew how to cultivate during my many many years of school and work life...."

"System 005 how many days have passed?"

"..."

"Are you really still ignoring me?" she asked exasperatedly "System??"

"Aren't I too stupid for you?" it asked spitefully.

"Whatever, judging my the position of the sun, the climate, the weather, the enviroment and comparing it with before I started cultivating, I can tell that around 10 months has passed and that it's almost noon right now." Zhilan said casually whilst checking her belongings.

System: ....

'What the h*ell, host! Aren't you too OP?' it thought to itself

"I'm right, riigghhtt? Xia Zhilan asked teasingly "Anyways, let's go now!" she said confidently whilst rubbing the original's interspacial ring lovingly.

'But host there's still people out looking for you....' System 005 warned her concernedly

'Really...? But's it's almost been a month!' Zhilan replied in an annoyed tone

'Well, the Heavenly Pavillion Sect has been trying to block out all information about you so a lot of people don't know about you and your 'treasure' and most people who were at the competition are way to scared to against them. But this doesn't mean you're safe! There are many hidden tigers in this city who are strong enough to compete against the Heavenly Pavillion Sect...'

"I guess I'll need to disguise myself... Luckily my make-up skills are pretty good!"
