"weiwei , no matter how much you argue today , you are leaving this room , even if I have to drag you out of here by force"
Su qiqi was beyond herself , she has never been a parent before but she's one hundred percent certain that there is no child out there as fearful as her son.
His growth speed was absurd but he is so scared of leaving her room that ever since he was a baby ,whenever she tries to move in out for some fresh air, see the scenery or introduce him to other members of the family.
He balls his eyes out , screaming and clawing away ,like the sun would kill him or something.
And since he starting talking at only seven months old, which was again preposterous.
He started engaging in debates with her about the benefits of staying indoors and the dangers of the outside .
She assumed this was the doing of her maids , course only they are around him almost all the time, but they denied having anything to do with it when questioned.
"Dear mother , it is the nail that sticks out ,that gets the hammer " responded Ethan, he felt like he was a sage dishing out profound wisdom , thinking as always his mother was going to give up and let him be.
Su qiqi "...."
She steadily walked over to the mat , where Ethan was lying on his back leisurely and one leg crossed atop the other, she grabbed his right leg and started pulling him out of the room.
"What nonsense is a one year old talking about ?! , nail that sticks out ? where in the world did you even hear that?!" qiqi voiced loudly as she dragged Ethan
"That's it , you are going out of my room today"
"no no no , mum , wait please !!!, lemme tell you something!!!!, lemme tell you something!!!!"
Ethan scream at the top of his lungs as his eyes darted to the lower right Conner of his view where a timer was continuously ticking .
[COUNTDOWN : 000: 06: 45 :12]
He grabbed the floor boards with both hands ,his right legs in the air as he fought to hold on as qiqi kept pulling.
"What the hell?! , weiwei!! , why are you so freakishly strong ?!
"It's the power of conviction mother" replied Ethan
"Convict your ass , you must leave this room today "
" Ok mum wait wait wait, I promise ... I promise that by the end of the day today , I will come out , I promise , please let me go."
Su qiqi didn't believe a single word coming out the mouth of her son , a child child who has been hell bent on staying indoors since he was a baby cannot all of a sudden decide he was going to be stepping outside at days end.
But she still let him go , who could refuse those blue gorgeous and innocent eyes , she's always pampered this son of her's too much.
'no .. qiqi , get a hold of yourself ,if you let him go now , your son will grow up to become one of those socially awkward hermits , that are shunned by society ' qiqi admonished herself in her mind.
"weiwei listen , you either come out today or I will have to inform your father, is that understood "
"Yes mum , I promise"
"Okay, I'll come back later in the day , I have to tend to the herb gardens now"
"Qinger , make sure you look after him properly"
Xiao qinger along with the other two maids who had witnesed this exact scene countless other times showed little to no reaction through it all.
Xiao qinger stepped forward and responded
" You don't have to worry my lady ,I will look after him properly, very VERY , PROPERLY"
su qiqi left the room and Ethan who caught the murderous aura qinger was exuding due to his Spidie Tingles Technique, also resolved himself to doing the needful today.
He sat down on his mat as he began detailing his plans for the evening.
'Through all the information i have gathered , I know the Li family main Household is set at the base of a mountain, with four zones to the east , west , north and south, the central zone is where family business is conducted.
I am currently in the western zone , where the herb garden is located , of which my mother ,the fourth wife of the family head is in charge of.
'I will suggest to qinger to take me on a stroll around the Family grounds, of which am sure she would gladly welcome the idea of .
I will also innocently lead her with my feigned curiousity to the back deserted mountainous zone , which am also sure she would gladly oblige, since she will see it as an opportunity to finally finish her task.
Then I will carefully dispose of her and try as much as possible not to leave any evidence behind "

[Overly Cautious Achievement Obtained]
[Description: You planned ahead , and considered ways to cover your tracks , the system recognizes your foresight ]
[UNLOCKED NEW SYSTEM FUNCTION:
HOUSE KEEPING
]
[Description: whoever is is killed by the host , the system will completely clean up thier their remains]
Looking at this new system function, rather than be happy about it , Ethan strangely felt solemn .
Things just got real , too real in fact . He was merely an office worker in his past life , he grew up in a modest family, never held a knife with intension to stab at anyone before, not to talk of taking a life.
' I feel like a wimp being all contemplative and all . But this is taking the life of another person , I know she tried to kill me and all but right now am so much more powerful than her that her existence is of no actual threat to me.'
'Okay, quick pros and cons to killing qinger .
Pro , she stops poisoning me , well is that really a pro?! since I am immune and it contributes to my ten thousand poison Dharma technique.
Con, I will be potentially alerting the person who sent her about the fact that am not ordinary, who knows if people are out there right now looking for a child that isn't ordinary ?.
Pro..... ? , there is no more pro , she does her job to the best of her limited ability , only small flaw she has is that she is hell bent on killing me. Well ... big flaw actually.
[Ding! ]
While he was practicing as usual and simultaneously wallowing in his moral Dilema , almost seven hours had gone by. and the countdown had hit zero.

There's alot of changes but the most noteworthy one is the addition of the body cultivation strength section , meaning it can continue to grow independently separate from the spirit cultivation realm.
Ethan got off the mat and started moving towards the door , glistening silver hair flowing effortlessly over his shoulders , tight fitting purple robes, piercing blue eyes filled with resolve as he made his way to the door for the very first time since reincarnating into this world.
