Travel To The World Of Ca Li
The Silentest Personal Hell!
The silence of the night silenced, the moist air felt tight, cold that could tear the souls of anyone who had been confined for a long time and lived curled up in this place, which was a dilapidated hell called the Cold Palace.
The frenetic atmosphere of the luxurious palace inhabited by many people is not felt in this place.
Remotest. Cornered. Alienated.
Maybe those three words explain everything.
The moonlight cradle escaped through the open window. A beautiful charming man with his silver hair fluttering like a thread made from a sprinkling of diamonds. He was leaning against the window sill, his face always empty without life. But, when he lowered his gaze and opened his fist which showed the colourful fruit candy wrapped.
It was as if it was a rare precious item.
The corner of his thick red lips moved slightly upwards. Her drooping eyes became even more dazzling, as she smiled. Is this what people feel when they are happy?
His entire body felt lighter, his heart was tickled by comfort, and his stomach felt like it wanted to explode by the kind of feeling he did not understand.
He was always alone, he was used to enduring in his own way, therefore he did not know what suffering and loneliness were. Is that happiness? And what to do to feel happy. He only knew how to survive by relying on the dark side that was within him, he only knew how to torture like how those things that he had gotten since realizing about his cruelty lived earlier than knowing writing.
A heavy voice of someone called out in his head. It was the voice of his other figure, who was awakened.
—Shen Yuan Zi! Hey, you stupid cunt!
—... Mozi.
—What's wrong with you?! Quickly give me control of this body again!
At a certain point, Mozi's voice began to echo in his head. Shen Yuan Zi could not remember when it started. Perhaps in his toughest times and Mozi came to take control from those days.
But now he changed his mind. Somehow he wanted to start it all off instead of curling back inside.
—... Mozi. I'm gonna find that thing. Do not leave until that day comes.
—What are you thinking, fool?! You are weak and useless! I'm not letting you out to take over completely!
Mozi was so angry. Although he was strong, but, this was the real body belonging to Shen Yuan Zi. Technically, he was just a high consciousness created by a small fragment of King Yama's blood droplets that were tainted and lodged in the body of this child. He wanted to dig up the darkness in this boy's heart and take over the whole thing slowly. And all this time he had always succeeded because Shen Yuan Zi was so obedient and silent, but now this fool often acted. It made Mozi want to blow it up.
—... This time. Just let me feel this time how it lives, how it lives.
— Heh?! Is that true? You're a strange creature tainted as a monster, you idiot!
Mozi uttered sarcastic words. Making Shen Yuan Zi speechless inside. However, Shen Yuan Zi was in no mood to falter. He has often heard people say that.
— Get back to sleep, Mozi.
Shen Yuan Zi intended to block Mozi's voice from his head. He could pressure Mozi to fall asleep for a while. Just like Mozi did to her.
Mozi's sentence of intrusion made him freeze for a moment inside.
— Three years ago, you used your heavenly powers and woke up only to scout my affairs in order to save her who drowned and almost died at the bottom of the river. I wanted to kill him right then and there.
— Silence! It has nothing to do with this. I just want to make room for myself to breathe. There's no harm, is there?!
Shen Yuan Zi quickly blocked Mozi's consciousness from her head. He closed his eyes, trying to catch his breath that was being decapitated by fear and the emotion of uneasiness that burst out.
Mozi will always be able to infiltrate his weakest point. He knew that this darkness was already lodged within him. This lifelong snare will never be able to escape and will continue to bind it.
Life curled up all this time was the most silent personal hell for Shen Yuan Zi. So, he had already sensed what hell was all alone.

Summer yellow leaves are so beautiful. However, it was inferior beautifully to the young girls gathered in the courtyard of Dengshuo Palace to hone and boast of their talents.
The sunlight reflected in the pond of the calm rippling lotus. The courtyard was filled with groups of young girls carrying many kinds of equipment in their hands. Starting from musical instruments, painting tools, chess, and embroidery threads. It was bustling by the giggling laughter of those who were throwing fake compliments at each other.
After lunch, the young girls are given free time to hone and rehearse the skills they have for the competition.
"Isn't the whole process of selecting the prince's empress ridiculous?" Xiu Qixuan's eyes tapered unhappily, she blurted out scorn in her sentence. Seeing the girls who prided themselves on being able to get a single prince fed up with him. "A woman should not only be judged by the ability of the way they make tea or satisfy in bed." His word.
Su Yiyang who was focusing on learning flower arranging with Duan Maiqiu was just clearing her throat and beheading. These three young girls sat together at one circular table. Their existence is not at all striking, even so isolated.
Obtained. Duan Maiqiu tilted her face looking at Xiu Qixuan full of interest. "N-ona Be-sar, a-pa ya-ng made you that's the 'sal?" She was puzzled by the gender equality modernization sentence that Xiu Qixuan posted. Despite the difficulty of speaking, but, Duan Maiqiu did not hesitate to point out his flaws to Xiu Qixuan any longer.
"Hmph, don't you understand? Maybe if the higher-ups just ignored the ridiculous matter of this competition. We'll see a woman can do more than this." No matter they understood or not, Xiu Qixuan kept speaking in a fiery tone. These three days he went through so fed up with all the things arranged by the palace.
The type of food and clothing she wears has strict rules. Until the schedule of bathing and sleeping they set carefully.
Xiu Qixuan so thought of following in the footsteps of Yao Anran who was volunteering at the treatment hall. But, he undoes his intentions when remembering there is a mad scientist who can threaten all kinds of existence.
Under the guise of receiving punishment to atone for his guilt and volunteer, the naive and innocent Yao Anran had unknowingly bit the bait Shang Shufei gave them, the girl did not realize that she had already received a big sponsorship from Shang Shufei and had to pay it later.
Because Yao Anran was a volunteer under Shang Shufei's protection, his name will slowly become a conversation when he finished taking care of one patient for the sake of the patient or helping one healer and another healer. Xiu Qixuan had already intended to stop him but Yao Anran remained stubborn.
Move from his seat. Xiu Qixuan circulated her sharply tapered gaze around to make sure there were no senior eunuchs or senior servants on duty to watch over them. Kala Xiu Qixuan wanted to step foot.
Su Yiyang's voice was intruding.
"Where are you going?"
