1 A Chance Of A Lifetime

Her father, Duke Bao Biming, possesses fire attribute and has reached the seventh of the tenth levels of cultivation. He is also the only heir of the Bao family whom for generations have been loyal supporters to the royal family and the one who controls almost all of the trading businesses in the Kingdom.

d.u.c.h.ess Fen Liling is famous not only for her beauty but, she also possesses the water attribute and has reached the eight of the tenth levels of cultivation. After all, she used to be the prized apprentice of the Manyue Sect, a sect famous for their alchemy prowess. But, she has since been kicked out from Manyue Sect for marrying her father. Those in Manyue Sect can only marry to those from Xiongwei Sect, a sect famous for their exceptional fighting skills.

As their first born, everyone expected her to inherit her mother's beauty. She is not blessed to inherit even half of her mother's beauty. She is not as intelligent as her father as well. Soon, her parents will be totally broken hearted upon discovering that she has absolutely no talent in cultivation.

The Three Elders will be attending every birthday in the Kingdom to give special test especially for those children who have reached their fifth birthday.

Ironically, with all the expectations of others for her, she is one with any trace or talent for cultivation. Her fifth year of living will be the start of her living h.e.l.l.

3 years later, one of her father's concubine will give birth to a daughter, the very same half-sister that married her husband. It will be another 10 long years before she will meet the man that has crushed her heart. This time, she will change her so-called fate. If she did not possess any talent to cultivate herself, there is always the dark side. She did not mind to choose the demonic and dark side if that what it takes to change her fate.

Days and nights have pa.s.sed ever since her 'awakening'. She will entirely separate herself from her family when the chance arises. She will prevent herself from ever meeting that person 10 years later. She will do her very best that her life will not be ended a day before her 25th birthday.

"Bao Baiyu! Are you listening? Stay still... The seamstress has to take your measurements. What colour do like for your new outfit?"

Her mother stares at her. Her beautiful yet cruel mother who discarded her upon discovering that she is a worthless daughter soon.

"Black..." She said as soon as she turns her head away.

d.u.c.h.ess Fen Liling slams her hand on the table and says, "Nonsense! It is your birthday, Baiyu! Not a funeral."

She yawns and thought that it could be one if she will not change for the better. She might not be blessed in cultivation, she can always improve her study. Read... She has to read more books so she will be a knowledgeable individual. If she lacks brawn, she can always compensate that part with a brilliant mind. Her life will be her own for taking not others.

One of her maidservants suddenly enters her room. Where she lacks love and attention from her own family members, her maidservants have always been there for her. They are even more than willing to do dirty works for her benefits. The reason why that man hates her so was that she was very possessive towards him. Many of his concubines had died because of her and/or her maidservants.

Her 4 maidservants are 5 years older than her. It might have been just a pure luck on her part when she simply chose ones with 4 different attributes consisting of fire, water, earth, and air.

Her head maidservant is Lu Huo and she possesses fire attribute and has amazingly reached the fourth of the tenth levels of cultivation. Due to that fact alone, she is always by Bao Baiyu's side in order to protect her.

Yushui possesses water attribute and has reached the third of the tenth levels of cultivation. She specializes in taking care of Bao Baiyu's appearance and outfits.

The one possesses earth attribute is Diqiu and she has reached the second of the tenth levels of cultivation. When it comes to Bao Baiyu's food and drink, Diqiu is the only one allowed to prepare it for her due to Bao Baiyu's particular taste.

Last but not least, is Yangzi who possesses air attribute and she has reached the first of the tenth levels of cultivation. She has become the caretaker of Bao Baiyu's beloved pet white tiger, Bai Laohu. Though she is the weakest out of the 4 now. She will be the most powerful one 5 years later with the discovery that Yangzi is a dual-cultivator possessing the air and nature attributes.

She is the only one without any attribute nor the ability to cultivate. A minus and a detrimental fact that will cause her demise in the future. She should focus on her study then. At least, she will not be that hopeless of a child for her parents.

"Lu Huo, I wanted to take a short nap. The 4 of you can take a break as well. Remember... No one else but me should know that all 4 of you are able to cultivate. Not even my own family members."

Lu Huo looks at her little mistress and then at Yushui who has just entered the room, "Noted, eldest miss. After all, if it is discovered that we actually able to cultivate, the imperial family will command us to be the imperial maids. None of us wanted that..."

"Excellent. I do not wish to live in a golden cage as well. If there is a slight chance for me to get away from here, I would make it happen. I need to experience living far all of these."

Both Lu Huo and Yushui stare at their little mistress whom they had served for more than a year now. Their little mistress is the eldest and legitimate young miss of the Bao family. Everyone including her parents have high hope and expectation for their little mistress especially when she will become a 5-year old soon. But, the last few days, they noticed that their little mistress has become more dignified and somewhat aloof in nature. In their eyes, she no longer acts like a child. They pretended not to notice but their little mistress has indeed changed.

d.u.c.h.ess Fen Liling is somewhat disappointed when she sees that her daughter did not inherit her ethereal beauty but she expect that she will be one with the ability to cultivate and possess attribute/s as well. After all, both her husband and her are a level 7 and level 8 respectively, their daughter has to be someone exceptional. She looks at her daughter whom by now sitting next to the window while she rests her head on the window sill as she blankly stares outside not noticing her standing there. She noticed that her daughter no longer clings onto her as she usually did. Her daughter has become quieter and smiles less. Something is bothering her daughter. She can feel it.
