Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Start of Training

That night Xue Bai couldn't sleep at all and ended up tossing and turning in his bed until late in the night.

Eventually, he resorted to having to light a calming incense stick to lull him to sleep. And after ten or so minutes, Xue Bai soon descended into a deep and peaceful sleep.

But what Xue Bai didn't know was that those were for cultivators. And for him to use one was going to make him sleep like a log for the next day.

Next Morning

"Young Master! It's way past sunrise. Why haven't you woken up." Xiao'er shouted from outside his bedroom.

Unable to get an answer, Xiao'er eventually entered the room. When she saw the situation, Xue Bai was asleep with an incense stick lit up next to him.

It looked normal except for the fact that Xue Bai lit up the wrong incense stick. While Xue Bai was gone, Xiao'er would sometimes sleep in his bed. And when he returned, she forgot to take away her incense sticks and left them in the bedside drawer.

And though Xiao'er was young, usually cheerful, and naive, she was still a cultivator. Moreover, she had a High Yellow Grade Martial Vein and was in the Muscle Noursihing Realm. So in order to bring her to sleep, it took a lot more than the mortal Xue Bai.

"Oh god, the Mistress is going to be so angry." Though she was scared of how Li Rou would react, Xiao'er still knew she had to go and explain what had happened.

So she picked up Xue Bai and went to go to Li Rou's personal courtyard.

And with Xue Bai unconscious, Xiao'er was able to use her cultivation openly to help her go faster. So only after a minute, she made it to Li Rou's courtyard.

Though she was able to enter this courtyard out of respect for her Mistress, she still stood outside and waited to be let in, knowing that Li Rou could sense her. And soon enough, the doors swung open.

"Why is Bai'er looking like that?" As soon as Xiao'er entered, Li Rou's melodic voice entered her ears. But hearing Li Rou act so calmly only scared Xiao'er further.

So without daring to hide anything, Xiao'er quickly explained what happened.

"I understand, but I have one question. Why did you sleep in his bed?" Li Rou asked curiously.

Blushing, Xiao'er didn't want to respond immediately. But after seeing Li Rou frown, she quickly caved.

"Young Master has a very nice scent, and it's even stronger in his bed. And with how much I missed him, I ended up staying in his bed for the week he was gone."

Li Rou just smiled at this. Since Xiao'er was a maid, she was going to follow Xue Bai for the majority of her life. So usually, maids of high-identity people like Xue Bai would end up taking the maid as a concubine. So seeing Xiao'er act like this made Li Rou smile.

'If she falls in love with him, it will be good for her. Just hopefully, she can stay beside him forever.'

"It's fine, Xiao'er. He would only sleep for about a day if you didn't bring him to me. But now that he's here, I can wake him up. So no harm was done."

"Aren't you going to punish me, Mistress?"

"Why would I? While you made a mistake, nothing bad happened, so it's okay as long as you learn from your mistake." Li Rou explained with a smile.

Li Rou then took Xue Bai from Xiao'er and laid him on her lap.

Moving the hair that covered Xue Bai's forehead, Li Rou poked him and let a gentle stream of Spiritual Qi through his body. The stream then went throughout his body, cleansing him of all the smoke from the incense stick. And soon enough, Xue Bai opened his eyes.

"Mother, how did you get into my room?" Xue Bai woke up confused.

Smiling, Li Rou replied, "You aren't in your room, sweetie. You're in my courtyard."

Not convinced, Xue Bai sat up and looked around.

'What the hell, why am I here? I don't sleepwalk. How did I get here? And why is Xiao'er blushing so hard at me?'

Though after thinking for a few minutes Xue Bai couldn't answer anything, so he asked Li Rou, "Mother, why am I here?"

"Ask your maid Bai'er. She knows more than me." Then, standing up, Li Rou responded.

"But before you do, leave my courtyard. Your father has been waiting for you for the past two hours. If you delay any further, he's not going to teach you at all."

"Two hours? But it's sunrise. What time did he get up?" Xue Bai mumbled, only to look up and see where the sun was.

"Fuck! It's noon. How did I oversleep that much?"

Not even bothering to ask his still-blushing maid what happened, Xue Bai stood up and ran to his bedroom to look for a change of clothes. He had been waiting to use a sword for a year. He wasn't going to let it go at the last step.

With Xue Bai gone, Li Rou looked at Xiao'er with a strong gaze and spoke bluntly, "Xiao'er, it's okay to love him but know that you most likely won't be able to monopolize him."

Xiao'er, hearing this, lowered her head in sadness for a moment but still nodded. She knew that but hearing it from her Idol was still hurtful.

"I know, Mistress, but I still will anyways."

Li Rou smiled at that and bent down and patted the maid's head.

"Then go on and follow him."

Unaware of his first romantical interest Xue Bai had already changed outfits and was now running to his parent's courtyard.

He was going to practice there as the original practice field was now turned into a forest, making it hard to use a sword.

Entering, he saw his father once again cross-legged cultivating.

Xue Feng sending his son opened his eyes.

"So you're finally here, huh? Did you enjoy making me wait two and a half hours?"

"Father, surely you know what happened. It wasn't my fault."

Xue Feng did know, but he still needed to keep his act up and only waved it off, saying, "Expect the unexpected. Life is random, and thankfully this random moment wasn't life-threatening to you."

"But enough of that. Today will be simple. We are going to find out which sword suits you best." Then, pausing for a moment, Xue Feng turned and pointed to a wall with over a dozen different swords laid out on the weapon rack. "Choose wisely, son. It will follow you for the rest of your life."

Looking at all the different types of swords, Xue Bai was at a loss for a moment. There were so many options to choose from, and he was overwhelmed.

There were greatswords the size of doors, shortswords made for duel wielding, and other more unorthodox types like rapiers, scimitars, and one even looked like a straighten-out machete.

But though there were a lot of options Xue Bai still eventually chose the standard Jian. It was the most common type for a reason.

"So you choose the same as me, huh? Why didn't you grab one of the cooler-looking ones?" Xue Feng on the side asked.

"They look cool, but I know they are just as hard to learn, so I'd rather choose the basic sword. If I have talent with another, I can switch, but if I choose an unorthodox one and end up having no talent with it, I'll have wasted years of time." Xue Bai answered.

Satisfied with the answer, Xue Feng stood up and spoke, "Well, get ready training starts today!"
