Genius Fifth Young Miss: Transmigration - 12 Chapter Eleven

Yu You Lei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she stared at the shaking fish. The thing was idiotic enough to be sucked into a whirlpool it itself created, making Yu You Lei doubt whether it was actually the majestic dragon she’d seen earlier.

“Explain! Hurry and give me and explaintion! Where did all my treasures go?” Yu You Lei anxiously asked, glancing around to check whether her treasures had suddenly returned.

The fish in the water stopped shaking, and coughed, making Yu You Lei doubt how the laws of nature worked in her world.

It was then she remembered, she controlled the elements and environment in her world.

A smirk growing on her face, she waited another minute to see if the fish would explain itself.

When it didn’t, Yu You Lei simply raised her hand, and the water surroundings the fish flew into the air, brining the fish itself along.

“W-wait! Don’t cook me!” It began swimming in circles again, irking Yu You Lei to no end.

Yu You Lei just wanted to know where her treasures went! She didn’t want anything to do with this idiotic fish!

“Just explain yourself already!” She lost her patience, and would probably cook this fish/dragon creature if this went on. She didn’t want to risk injuring it in a moment of anger, though, which was why she was so infuriated.

First of all, the fish might be a dragon, and there was no way Yu You Lei would risk killing an ancient creature in a moment of anger.

The second reason she needed to hold herself back was because of the stupid contract she made with the ring.

It was probably this fish whom she made a contract with.

Hurting or killing it would be the same as hurting herself.

The contact meant they were connected, and if the fish got hurt, then Yu You Lei herself would also be impacted. If the fish were to die, then Yu You Lei would follow it in death. This worked the same the other way round.

The only reason the two were reunited in this life was because it was a soul contract, so unless one of their souls disappeared, they’d probably just reincarnate over and over again with each other for the rest of eternity!

Just thinking about spending the rest of her life with such a pathetic fish made Yu You Lei want to spit out blood.

Seeing the murder in Yu You Lei’s:s eyes grow more intense, the fish hurriedly tried to calm her down.

“I-I’ll explain, calm down, Mas- Wait, it’s Mistress. . . Calm down, Mistress, I can explain!” Its attempt at calming down Yu You Leo seemed to only infuriate her further.

“Okay, okay, fine. . . In your previous life, you never noticed me for several reasons. First of all, when you establish a contract with me, I automatically take your current cultivation level as a base. Each colour rank is considered 1 Grade. When you found me, you were at orange high level, or in that case, Grade 1. At Grade 1, I would appear as a fish, which is why you overlooked my existence so many times, despite me making trouble to get your attention!” The fish was ready to cry thinking about it.

It was actually an ancient creature, and actually had to do such immoral things to get the attention of a young lass like its mistress. . .

“Anyway, with each rise in Grade, I would become more and more powerful, eventually becoming a dragon which you saw just now at Grade 5. The environment in this ring will also grow along with me, and what you see now is still the Grade 1 environment. Since getting the ring, you haven’t broken through a single rank, which is why everything remained the same. Anyways, how was my dragon form? Amazing, right? After that, I can grow even more, but I can’t seem to remember what I will transfer into.”

The fish somehow puffed up its chest in pride towards the end.

Yu You Lei ignored the last two comments the fish made and stared at it, dissatisfaction clear in her eyes.

She brought the ball of water closer to her, making the fish back away as far as possible.

“So, I must cultivate, and only then will you become that dragon? And, as I cultivate, the environment will become better than it was in the past?” Yu You Lei asked two questions first, wanting to clear things up.

The fish nodded frantically, thinking it would be free from the clutches of the female devil after answering that.

To his horror, Yu You Lei only brought him closer, even removing some of the water so he had nowhere to swim.

“Okay, but. . . Where are my treasures? Where have they gone?” Her voice was falsely calm, and the fish could sense the anger behind her words.

“Gone!” With this single word, Yu You Lei almost snapped.

“For now.” Yu You Lei held her hand back, and her eyes twitched slightly. Could the fish finish its sentences properly?

“You stored your treasures all over the place, according to rank and category. Unfortunately, for the storing and herb system, you go by your cultivation level. So, at orange rank, you could open almost one third of the chests here. At red rank, you would’ve been able to open the one third exactly, but now that you’ve started from a cultivation wastrel, you can only open some chests which are labelled with ‘0’. If you try to open any other chest, you wouldn’t see anything. That means for now, you can only open the chests which contain your food, survival items, money and a minimum amount of cultivation materials.” The fish wanted to close its eyes, but had no eyelids, and could only watch helplessly as Yu You Lei’s expression darkened.

“How are they sorted? And what happened to my treasures?”

“Oh, it’s sorted by every level, not colour rank. High level would have a blue ‘2’ engraved in the chest, low level would have ‘1’, peak level would have ‘3’, and they would be painted according to the colour rank you require. As for youe treasures, you just can’t see them or touch them. They are still safe.” At this point, the fish was already floating around leisurely, thinking it was safe.

Yu You Lei let out a breath of relief. She had a faint impression of those numbers, and even remembered sorting items according to the numbers for fun at one point. Thankfully, purple, to her, symbolized the start of her whole journey, so she stored most of the essential items inside the purple chests.

In fact, maybe she sorted all the items according to the numbers and colours. She thought about it, and her expression brightened. Yes, she definitely sorted her items according to the numbers and colours! Those materials suitable for an orange high leveled were all placed in the correct chests, and the same went for everything else.

That was perfect! She would probably be able to use those items to help her along as she went. Yu You Lei wouldn’t dare to use the more powerful items yet anyway, since she would probably accidentally pulverize herself at some point.

Yu You Lei grinned, turning to the fish. Just a few more questions and she’d let it go.

“What do I call you?” She asked, a friendly smile on her face.

“You are the mistress, you can give me a name.” The fish said, waving a fin casually. The ring itself was named Little Long, but it must have a better name for itself, right? It thought she’d give it a good, majestic and elegant name, but. . .

Her? Name the fish? From her judgement, the fish was a male, so she needed to think of a suitable male name for it. . .

“Okay, I’ll name you Ji Xiang!” Yu You Lei grinned, glad she could actually think of a name.

“What? Doesn’t that mean auspicious? Are you using me as a good luck charm? No, I don’t like it!” Ji Xiang immediately began protesting.

“Are you cursing me? So what if you’re my good luck charm?” Yu You Lei’s expression turned cold in an instant.

“No, no, just give me another name!”

“Fine, I’ll name you Wang Cai.”

“I’m not a dog, you female devil. And doesn’t that have a similar meaning? Do you need good luck so badly?”

“Either Ji Xiang or Wang Cai. Choose one.”

The soul and fish bickered for a few minutes, before Ji Xiang finally gave in.

“Fine, fine, I’ll be called Ji Xiang. . .”

It muttered grudgingly.

“Okay, good. Very obedient. Now, Little Xiang, where are my herbs?”
