Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Lin Yu came out of the bedroom at night and turned on the cooling on the air conditioner. She went to the bathroom which seems to the the only other place and the bedroom un marred by pinhole size cameras.

She entered her space and drank a glass of spirit water and then waited for the impurities to come. Indeed, they gushed out of her skin shir many hours that followed. Tonight she found out 5 hours inside is one hour outside.

Changing into her pajamas she walked out and ordered something filling form the local delivering restaurants. When the siblings came out, they found her suckling of crab shell cleaning it up of all it's meat.

Using her wat so deliciously, Lin Miyue took out his own phone and ordered food for himself and his sister.

Lin Yu washed her dishes and cleaned up before waling upstairs without acknowledging the man. Lin Miyue is not used to being ignored by her so he stopped her.

"We are only here for a few days. You don't have to sulk about it." He frowned.

She nodded and continued to walk upstairs. "Why don't you speak? Are you mute?" He sounded incredibly displeased.

Lin Yu didn't pay him any mind. The siblings are really annoying. 'One put cameras in my living space and the other keeps reminding me that this all belongs to thw Lin family.'

Seeing her not cling to him as in the past or show hostility what he mocks her, Lin Miyue is used to all her responses but she has never kept silence when he mocked her no matter the reason.

Today however, she just ignored him. She must still be angry at the first sentence he spoke upon entry. In her bedroom. She is calling the housing department.

After several minutes, the two siblings heard her pull out a suitcase and direction others ro help her take away the food.

"Where are you going?" Lin Mei shrieked. Again, Lin Yu didn't say anything to her and just kept taking to the moving people.

"What's all this? Lin Miyue stood infront of her as he prepared to be that last one to move out.

"Where are you going?" He gritted out. She didn't answer but pulled out her phone to call the police. This made the siblings annoyed but they had to let her go.

Before the others could snatching her phone she sobbed into the phone. "I am Lin Yu, my half brother and half sister are trying to kill me. Please hurry at flat 1106 glacier building. Yes, yes, thank you."

"Why are you behaving like a child? We just want you to tell us where are you going. The police will side with us after knowing you are a minor." Lin Miyue said righteously.

"Perhaps, but after seeing all the cameras in the house, I doubt you will escape the lable of peeping Tom." Lin Yu said coolly with folded arms. In any case she is not in a hurry they are still putting a state of the art air-conditioner, floor heating and cooling.

"Did you just call the police for something like this." Lin Mei sweated that being in prison during the apocalypse they won't be coming back.

Her brother is still very low in body cultivation. She can not let him go to that place, looking at Lin Yu she briefly has an idea to kill Lin Yu and wipe the slade clean. Her brother will support her.

"How long have you known? Is this why you have been renting cars?" Lin Mei's eyes are full of disgust.

Lin Yu sensed her killing intent and smiled brightly. "Why don't you make me tell you? Isn't 4his just about father not treating the two of you like his children? Who told you to treat him like failure?" Lin Yu sneered.

"Who cares about him?" Lin Miyue said distainfuly.

"Then whyarr you watching me like you're in love with me? It's not like I pose some kind of threat for your family fortune? Isn't it just a stone hitting an egg? Are you so free?" Lin Yu rolled her eyes and went out. This time Lin Mei didn't stop her.

The main thing is that Lin Yu didn't buy supplies in preparation for the apocalypse and she is not reborn because she still thinks they are jealous of her affection with their father.

"What now?" Lin Miyue asked. He is not reborn, in his eyes this little girl has at most been a nuisance not severe enough to warrant death. But for Lin Mei, she deserve to die. Just as they are discussing, the police came over.

They used the excuse that the house in in their name to dismiss the claims of unauthorized monitoring. The police went back.

Lin Yu called her father and had him come over to complete the paperwork. At first he didn't want to be disturbed but after she told him about cameras he came over to comfort her with Mrs Lin.

Seeing her trying to hide the disgust of her children's actions, she wanted to make it up to her. So she let the security company she knew to install anti-theft door and ad an inner bullet proof glass door. She added a double layer bullet glass for windows.

Right. She is in love with her father and will try to make her as comfortable as possible just to make her father happy. Poor lady, but Lin Yu enjoyed the the benefits without shame.

Charm is part of strength. She looked at the secure house and smiled before texting her father a smiley face telling him to thank the Mrs on her behalf.

When the siblings heard their mother was swindled out of millions of yuans for security installations on Lin Yu's flat, they were very angry.

At first she received a call from Lin Mei asking "What right do you have to renovate your place with 8 millions?!"

Hearing the shouting, Lin Yu ate a spoonful of ice cream and dropped the call. It had been two days, the apocalypse is supposed to come at midnight on this day.

She didn't want to buy anything but entered her space and started cutting down the trees to make a fence for the animals. The cows place is very big making her only finish this take when five hours are over.

Then she took the pills again. Muscle and skin forging, bone marrow cleansing and blood purifying all at once.

A few seconds passed and Lin Yu slowly lost feeling on her body ending up lying down like the last time. The body kept crying out impurities darkening the skin and the grass she is lying on.

She laud there for several hours. Her body is very painful, her blood is boiling, her organs feel to be constantly shifting and the muscles are extremely sensitive.

When she felt good enough to move, she quickly took a shower and them put on the dark colors tracksuits with sneakers and a face mask.

Coming out of the space she felt it. The flooding spirit force into the world, beastly roars all over the city. Some howl like wolves, others roard and the most dominant sound is the grawls of rumbling beastly throats.

"And so it began." Taking a weapon with runes, she slipped out of the flat headed towards the Liang family.

Liang Jun that poser, his family has bought billions worth of supplies on a tip from Lin Mei. Bound in love and connected through commitment. What a pair of dutiful lovers!

Love is not strong unless it pass the test from side characters. Otherwise how to say they are dragons and Phoenix matched by god author?

Taking a bike on the moto bike taken from the community, she reached the secluded Liang ship wrack where they keep shipping containers only this time, most of them have have long life stable food.

The security is somewhat very tight here but looking at all these people passed out on the ground. It seems they are either mutating or transitioning into spirit warriors.

Sticking to the shadows, she took away every cargo ship with anything of use. To her delight, there is a everything from rice, cooking oil, noodles, flour, cereal, long life liquid and powder milk.

Soap, gasoline, gas cylinders. Then there's frozen food including frozen fruits,dry meat and fresh frozen meat.

Baby formula, and large stack of jade and gold bars. Lin Yu took all 37 fully loaded cargo ship containers and slipped away in the dead of the night. Avoiding cameras, she came back to her place and pretended to be worried in the morning and many people are screaming being consumed by their own family members or they are running away.

"Dad are you still alive?"

"Hehe.. will you ba sad if your father dies?" Lin Hau sounded to be in a good mood. His wife watched him silently. He never show this fatherly side to their children.

"Dad, c...can you come over? I want to show you wu wu I think I'm like the monsters outside." She pretended to cry and said something that startled him. "What happened?" His good mood is suddenly gone.

"You can't go out!" His wife held him and stopped him from leaving.

"But she is so scared." He is almost pushing her away when Lin Miyue spoke.

"It's only the start of the apocalypse I will go and get her to stay here with us." He stood up but Lin Yu sneered through the phone.

"Heh! You? I think I am safer with the growling monsters outside. Dad, you stay there I will find you soon. Mrs Lin is right I was being thoughtless. It's not safe outside and you keep breathing like you're about to pass out." She turned off the phone call.

"I don't breath like I am about to pass out!" He roared into the phone glaring on the it when he felt his wife shake on the side. She is trying to hide her laughter. Snorting, he brought her into his arms trying not to have his chest pain flare up.

Lin Yu called her friend. "Yuyu, are you safe?"

"Gosh, Peng peng, you're so adorable. Did you give the pill to your mother?"

"Brother took one and decided it is too dangerous for mom. Hey, have seen the ugly this outside? What are they?"

"Do you remember the thing called spirit power with the ability to mutated living organisms?" Lin Yu watched the news as they reported all the things happening outside.

"Yeah?"

"The world has suddenly been flooded with large amount of spirit energy forcefully evolving all living things." Lin Yu explained.

"So how to survive?" Lu Peng's voice trembled.

"By anymore means necessary." Lin Yu said coolly and dropped the call. A day ago she had changed her phone worried it is bugged by the female lead.

Looking at her body in the full length mirror, her body grew again this time, the full length of her chest showed. She finally doesn't look like a still growing little girl.

Lin Yu is a little happy with her fair but sturdy body. If she is not wrong, her body has broken the boundaries of ordinary humans. After taking the pill again she broke through from the first peak tier warrior to second tier meddle level.

Does this mean she is a warrior? Not capable of magic power until at tier 10? It doesn't matter, in the novel she had awakened a space power but she hopes to awaken something with more use.

Thinking, she extended her hand trying to see if something will stoot out like in Spiderman.

Looking around, nothing happened. In her old life as Emily she had a fire spirit. After meditating for a long time, she couldn't feel anything.

Standing near her windwo she watched a large monster with spider like legs, a human body and shark like fangs rampaging outside the community in the street.

It lifted its two front legs and tore apart a truck, pulling out a man who had been hiding inside and throwing him into its large open mouth.

The man is so scared he couldn't even scream before he was devoured whole by the spider. Just then a gun sounded and a bullet lodged deep into the spider's eye.

It has six large eyes rolling this way and that way. The sniper took aim again and a second bullet landed on the second eye. The spider let out a loud screech. Lin Yu who is watching from the window saw with her improved vision both large eyes completely heal in a matter of seconds.

"Dear god!"

She took out her phone and called her friend. The phone is answered then loud screams sounded on the phone.

"The neighbors are looking to hide in our house since their father/husband mutated into a large snake and swallowed their mother."

"Take a kitchen knife and stab one in the eye, let tour brother take care of the rest." Lin Yu got angry.

"Kill someone?" Lu Peng asked sounding scared.

"If they enter your house, think about what will happen. They will threaten you siblings with your weak mother and will not stop until you are dead. You will have to feed and protect them.

Ask yourself, why did they choose your house?" Hearing Lu Peng's hesitant voice she even started shouting.

"Then I won't open the door." She said into the phone.

"It's not that easy to escape once someone decided you are an easy target." This time it is Lu Peng who dropped the call.

Just then, Lin Yu's own door is knocked on. When she looked through the peep hole she saw the large face of the dragon king. A cigarette on his lips puffing out smoke and standing there patiently.

"I know you're inside. Open the door before my friend over there opens another door for me. Then you won't have a place to sleep."

"Hey, go away! What the hell is a grown man doing threatening a little girl." The cigarette on his mouth fell then be stood aside. His 'friend' transformed his hand into metal and started punching rhe wall.

"Mother fucker!" Lin Yu cursed angrily. Looking at the people on the door she had hustled 8 million to put up and it's being rendered useless.

"I'm going to kill you!" She shouted in outrage. Ever since crossing over she hasn't felt anything let alone anger so profound it made her blood boil with range. She can taste it.

Looking at her painful body she saw a large round object in a space surrounded by black flames. The round object started cracking.

Lin Yu felt an incredible connection to whatever is about to come out of the round object. She felt like she is still inside her flat but also not there anymore.

"Is this the spirit palace?" She look

Her body seems to be evolving colorless scales grew on her skin, the color sood darkened until she they turned completely dark, gleaming like the obsidian blades of the nether king. Her pupils turned red and bright like rubies, when she blinked slits appeared in the middle of each eye appearing to resemble eyes of reptiles.

She opened her eyes mouth and let out a soft roar like that of a hatchling.

Then all around her black shadows engulfed her until she couldn't be seen. When she appeared again she is in the middle of a group of men looking like a black humanoid reptile.

She raised her hands and the space is soon covered in the black shadow. The shadow took away everyone's senses then one by one they couldn't feel their limbs as if numb then their vision went dark.

When the shadow disappeared only Gu Fang remained but all his clothes were gone. The carpet on the floor had also disappeared along with the couches and the coffee table.

Lin Yu came out fron the smoke wearing one of the female warrior's clothes from her space. These simple hanfu and qipao outfits seem to be either made from special materials or they are light armor forged by artisans.

Walking out from the disappearing black shadow in a light blue qipao she walked bare foot towards the passed out Lu Fang. Looking at his completely naked body, she smiled but threw a sheet over his body.

Opening her palm, a black shadowy flame silently burned on it. The more she watches it the more beautiful she things it is. Fitting for a thief to have a flame without temperature. Instead of burning things it consumes them.

Laughing she put on a pair of boots and kicked the man on her floor. However, no matter how much force she applies of the kick, the men didn't wake up.

Lin Yu entered her space and using her new silent flame, she cut a side of a cargo ship container and used it to close the newly made hole on the wall.

She put the metal wall on the inside of the flat making it hard for people outside to move it aside to enter. The piece is as tall as the wall amking heavy and long to move.

Then she used the key to come out of the flat locking it behind her.

Lin Yu walked out thinking 'I must help my cheap father.'

She walked out and found these people had fought and killed most of the creatures on the corridor. Luckily the elevator is still working.

"What are you wearing?" Lin Mei asked as soon as she saw the graceful figure of her half sister through the peep hole.

"Open the door dear..who knows what creatures may be lurking out here?"

"You still know about them? Then why are you outside dressed like an ancient concubine?" Lin Miyue sounded amused.

"Because someone punched a hole through my flat! Are you opening or not?" She looked at the small hole on the door with annoyance.

"You have to promise not to cause us trouble once inside." Lin Mei shouted but Lin Yu sneered in response.

"Are you so afraid of a little girl?" The door is finally opened by her father. Seeing him alright, she pulls him outside and drags him to the building elevator.

"Where are you taking me?" He demands.

"Calm down I wouldn't harm you." She smiled but to her father who was dragged from safety this is not a warm smile.

"Then what do you call taking me out of a safe place?"

"You can't be safe just because four walls are protecting you." She sneered.

"You have always been good to me so I won't let you delude yourself into thinking you're protected. No one will protect you once your wife decides you are no good. Those two, are letting you grow complacent, reliant on them while they slowly let their mother get over you."

"What are you talking about?! Moxue will never..."

"That was before, when artists and sweet words were enough for a woman who had family fortune. Now you need more than just your charm you need to be someone she needs to keep by her side. It will keep you from being killed off by your children for your past sins." She made him look at her as he tries to avoid her intense words.

"They want you dead." She said. He finally looked at her and swallowed.

"I'm their father."

"You will harm their mother in the future for others and this can not be tolerated." She said and opened his mouth throwing a pill inside. It melted as soon as it got wet. She threw him in the basement of her space courtyard.

"I can't teach you combat but at least you will not be useless." Then his screams started. Good thing she threw hin in her space or else he would attract monsters.
