Capítulo 2: First Meeting by the Lake

Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Liuyue cleaned up the three corpses, then picked up the baggage on the side. It belonged to the original Chu Liuyue.

She frowned when she opened and looked through it.

There was quite a bit of money in the bag, alongside a bunch of jewels. Even though they were nothing special to the eyes of Shangguan Yue, who used to be a princess, they were quite a fortune to a downtrodden girl from the meager Chu family.

Was she going to run away? Chu Liuyue scoffed.

Chu Liuyue could never bear to leave her father behind if she were running away, not to mention that Chu Liuyue was a timid girl, who would never have the courage to do that.

Most important of all, how could Chu Liuyue, someone who was pushed around by the Chu family, have the opportunity to get her hands on so much cash and jewelry? Someone was clearly trying to frame her!

If Song Lian and his family were behind it, they had to put on a show just to keep things under wraps.

If people found Chu Liuyue's body and saw the items, they would have assumed that she had stolen things and ran away under the pretext of shopping.

Thieves deserved to die!

Chu Xianmin was trying to ruin her, even after she died!

Since she was borrowing Chu Liuyue's body, then she had to settle this for her host. Besides, Chu Liuyue's identity made her future operations much easier.

After looking through everything, Chu Liuyue looked around. She could hear the faint sound of a stream.

She was covered in blood and dirt right now, and she really needed to take a shower. Conveniently for her, there were fresh clothes in the baggage.

Cutting through the lush forest for about 15 minutes, Chu Liuyue finally arrived at an azure-blue lake.

What was astonishing was the layer of fog floating above the lake.

Even from where she was standing on the bank, she could only see the lake water near her. Everything else was obscured.

Chu Liuyue stretched out her hand and was a little surprised when she ran it through the fog.

This fog is formed by extremely concentrated force! If I cultivated here, I would improve drastically!

As the princess, the heir to the Tianling Dynasty, she knew the ten subsidiary countries rather well. Even though such a place could not compare to the places where she used to cultivate, it was considered great in a small place like Country Yao Chen.

At this time, there was a low roar.

She looked up and saw a snow-white tiger by the lake, staring at her with icy-blue eyes! This was a high-stage demonic beast!

Just as Chu Liuyue was thinking of how to deal with it, it suddenly shook its tail and lay down again, closing its eyes.

Chu Liuyue was stunned.

Is it going to leave me alone? However, guardian beasts are supposed to be very hot-tempered!

Before she could finish her thoughts, the lion opened its eyes and glanced at her. It then stood up and walked towards her!

When it reached her, the white lion raised its paw and swept Chu Liuyue's baggage to the floor and nudged her forward with its head.

"You want me to go in?" asked Chu Liuyue uncertainly.

The white lion sat down on the ground as it looked Chu Liuyue in the eyes as if telling her that it would not leave if she did not enter.

Chu Liuyue was speechless.

She laughed, thinking the white lion was rather cute. She patted it on the head, and the lion closed its eyes contentedly.

She then removed her blood and filth covered clothes and stepped into the lake, allowing the warm water to surround her.

A vigorous and warm force gushed towards her.

Chu Liuyue closed her eyes as she began examining the condition of this body.

Mainland Xuan Wu was about survival of the fittest.

There were two kinds of cultivators. One kind was warriors, who absorbed the Heaven and Earth Force into their flesh and blood. The other kind was Xuan Masters, who could muster their force through amulets and see into the workings of Heaven and Earth Force.

Although both were classified as cultivators, the conditions for becoming a Xuan Master were much higher, so they were rarer and more respected.

In order to become a cultivator, one had to possess the Yuan meridian. The Yuan meridian was the only medium through which cultivators could take in Heaven and Earth Force, so it was especially important.

There were four grades to a Yuan meridian: Tianjing, Dijing, Xuanjing, and Huangjing.

Tianjing was the highest grade. Even the Tianling Dynasty had only produced two people with a Tianjing Yuan meridian in 1,000 years.

The first was the founder of the dynasty. The other was… her.

This was also why she was the most revered princess! To her, cultivation was as simple as it could be. However, her current body had a defective Yuan meridian. It could channel force, but it could not contain it, much less transform it into powers for Chu Liuyue's use.

Chu Liuyue was therefore born a good for nothing!

"Seems like I have to restore this Yuan meridian first…" mumbled Chu Liuyue.

Other people's jaws would drop if they heard her. How could the Yuan meridian, which was inborn, be repaired?

Probably nobody in the entire Country Yao Chen was capable of doing that! However, it was nothing to Shangguan Yue, who was once the princess of the Tianling Dynasty!

Heavenly doctors were the most secretive and revered existences on the mainland. They could revive the dead and restore skeletons to human form. Nothing was impossible for them! But becoming a heavenly doctor was even tougher than becoming a Xuan Master! Their cultivation was different from Xuan Masters and Warriors as well.

Even if it was a piece of rotten wood, Chu Liuyue could perform magic with it!

I wonder what grade the Yuan meridian will be after restoration… As she was thinking, a red light flashed before Chu Liuyue's eyes!

She looked towards her hands with knitted brows, only to see a strange crimson amulet text appearing on her palms!

"This is…" She had never seen the text, nor did she know of its origins. Did this belong to the original Chu Liuyue? Just as the thought flashed across her head, she felt a sense of familiarity. It was as if the text belonged to her!

The text flashed, then disappeared quickly.

Before Chu Liuyue could focus on it, she felt a new sensation in her dantian.

The originally withered dantian was filled with a red light! Floating right in the middle of her dantian was the text that Chu Liuyue had seen earlier!

She took a closer look and focused her energy.

The text did not exist alone. It was inscribed on a transparent book page! The page was extremely thin as if it was ripped off from a book. The edges were uneven as the page hovered there. It would be hard to see if not for the crimson text.

Just as Chu Liuyue was about to take a closer look out of curiosity, the transparent book page turned into a puddle and formed a small lake in her dantian.

The amulet text disappeared completely as if it had never appeared.

Chu Liuyue looked towards her palms. There was no trace of anything.

Her body returned to its usual tranquility.

As she pondered, she could not understand what was going on, so she chose to stop thinking about it. It did not seem like it would hurt her.

It was more important to settle the troubles of her host first!

She turned around, about to return to shore when her eyes turned cold. She hid her body in the water and looked straight ahead. "Who's there?" At the same time, she removed her hairpin and held it in her hand, ready to strike!

In the thick fog, there was an elusive, tall figure. It was accompanied by the deep, gentle voice of a man, which seemed to be concealing a smile. "Little lady, I don't think it's good for you to be trespassing on other people's territory."

Perhaps it was because of the foggy atmosphere, but his words were a little dragged out, tinted with a hint of laziness. It was like a breeze plucking at the strings of a musical instrument. It was captivating.


Capítulo 3: She's Alive!

Editor: Atlas Studios

A man was actually hiding in the middle of the lake!

Chu Liuyue was shocked. She had been coming here for so long, but she was clueless about it. Although she no longer had her previous body's strength, she was still sharp, and her eyesight still excellent. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to take care of Song Lian and his two other companions by herself just now.

This man must be very strong.

"Is this your territory?" she asked cautiously.

The water rippled. Chu Liuyue could vaguely see a tall figure coming out of the water. His silhouette could be seen through a veil of white mist.

Straight shoulders, a broad back, and a curvy figure were vaguely hidden by the lake.

Chu Liuyue gripped her hairpin tightly as she continued to stare. She had just been reborn; she didn't want to die again.

A low laugh came out of nowhere. "Do I look that good?"

A gust of wind dispersed the white mist. That man's figure became clearer. It seemed that he was keen to meet her face to face.

Chu Liuyue sneered inwardly. She had seen worse. Why should she be intimidated by this? "I can't get a good look with the mist in our way. Let me take a closer look; I can give you my answer then."

The flowing mist came to a sudden stop. The man probably didn't expect a young lady like her to talk in this manner.

"If you are really that keen, I will be happy to oblige. However, I'm worried you'll stab me with your hairpin before you've seen more." He didn't seem annoyed because there was laughter in his voice.

Chu Liuyue remained silent. The man was strong, smart, and definitely not easy to deal with. He had figured out her intentions with one glance. She wouldn't face such a person head-on when dealing with them.

She simply rolled her eyes, pulled her hair back, and calmly inserted the hairpin into her bun smoothly. "My apologies. I didn't know this was your territory. I thought there was nobody until I intruded. I hope you will forgive me for my intrusion."

The man was silent for a moment.

"There's no need for that." His voice sounded distant.

Chu Liuyue was flabbergasted. Was he letting her off this easily? Her mind was so confused that she didn't say anything.

"The water in Lake Bibo may be good for health, but your meridian points are blocked. It's better if you don't stay for long." The man stood up and made his way to the shore as soon as he said that. In a flash, he was done dressing.

Chu Liuyue could barely make out his silhouette despite the white mist. She could still see the man's figure. Indeed, it was a really good one.

She, too, wore her clothes with haste without feeling embarrassed and left. This was not a man to be trifled with.

Before she could take a step, the man's voice rang behind her. "Young lady, I have no wish to pursue this matter, but I have to know who has intruded into my territory today."

The tone of his voice was smooth, but it carried a hint of a superior person's irrefutable nobility.

Are his words meant to intimidate me into telling him my name? Chu Liuyue turned around. A man was standing not too far away from her.

She held her breath.

When she was a princess, she saw countless talented and handsome young men. Her fiancé, Jiang Yucheng, was also the most handsome man in Tianling Dynasty.

Nevertheless, she couldn't help but feel amazed when she first laid her eyes on this man.

He had a pair of saber-like eyebrows which slanted into his temples, a straight nose, and sparkling eyes. Even the most beautiful starry night sky couldn't compare to those deep eyes. One glance at those eyes was enough to make one crazy and sink into its light.

His scarlet lips were lightly pressed together into a flawless radian, which appeared thin. However, the bead in the middle of one of his lips made them look redder.

His eyes were the cleanest starry night in the world, while his lips were the most ambiguous spring color in the world. He was pure yet mysterious. He was elegant and noble, like an impenetrable contradictory form that seemed to drive one crazy as it attracted all the attention.

Chu Liuyue sized him up, and a word came into her mind—Demon!

"Chu Liuyue." She had no intention of hiding her identity. After all, he looked like a man of many means. Lying would only cause more problems.

The man stood across her and stared, but his gaze was like the moonlight as his eyes lightly grazed past her. They finally remained fixed on her face. "Let's forget about this since Xue Xue was the one who let you in."

Xue Xue? Is it that white lion?

The man suddenly stepped forward and approached Chu Liuyue until he stood in front of her.

Chu Liuyue was on high alert. However, she suppressed her feelings so as not to show him any hostility. She looked at him calmly.

He stood unmovingly. Suddenly, he reached out and grazed her cheek lightly with his warm fingertip. "Lady Chu, you can't go home in such a mess with blood on your face."

Chu Liuyue was shocked. She looked down and saw the bloodstain on his fingertip.

The two breathed, taking in each other's scent for a moment.

His deep voice stirred her eardrums. "Also, my name is Rong Xiu." Before Chu Liuyue could say anything, he told her, "You should go."

Chu Liuyue pursed her lips. She might not know what he was up to, but she had a feeling that there was another battle to be fought when she returned to the Chu family. "Thank you."

It wasn't until the young girl's slender figure completely disappeared into the forest that Rong Xiu finally withdrew his gaze and glanced at the white lion.

His warm and friendly demeanor dimmed a few notches. "Did you betray your master to get into her good graces?"

The white lion was motionless.

"If you pretend to be dead, I will tell her your other name is Hua Hua when I see her the next time."

Roar!

The white lion suddenly stood up. Its name was Xue Hua [Snowflake], not Hua Hua! It would be so embarrassing if others came to know about this.

"The Imperial City should be quite crowded these days, so I'll leave you to it."

Xue Hua's eyes lit up.

The atmosphere in the Chu family's hall was tense.

Anxiety was written all over Chu Ning's face. He paced around uneasily while looking out nervously.

"Yue'er has been gone for the whole day. It's already evening. Why isn't she back yet? First Elder, we should send a search party out quickly."

What should they do if something happened to her? Yue'er was completely defenseless.

First Elder, Chu Xiao, sipped his tea and told him nonchalantly, "Chu Ning, stop fretting. This isn't the first time she has gone out. What could happen? Perhaps, she was having so much fun that she simply forgot the time."

Chu Ning was extremely anxious, but he knew they wouldn't agree to his request. It's getting dark. Yue'er wouldn't be so insensible. She should be back by now. "I will search for her myself!" He went out alone without waiting for them.

The Third Missy, Chu Xianmin, came dressed in a yellow dress. She had a pretty face. She respectfully bowed before saying with a whimper, "First Elder, I know that my sister hasn't come back yet, so I shouldn't bother you. B-but… there is something that I don't dare to hide—my things have been stolen."

First Elder frowned. "What happened?"

Tears began to well up in Chu Xianmin's eyes. "I invited my sister to my room this morning, wanting to give her some money so she could buy something for herself when she went out. However, when I checked earlier, all the money and jewelry my parents gave me were missing."

Chu Ning barked. "What are you trying to say? Are you implying that Yue'er is the thief?"

Chu Xianmin cried harder. Aggrieved, tears fell from her eyes.

"I didn't mean that… How could I accuse my sister? However, she was the only one who has gone into my room today."

First Elder squinted his eyes. "Perhaps… she stole Xianmin's money and ran away? How dare she!"

Chu Ning was about to argue when he heard the announcement.

"Big Missy is back!"

Everyone in the hall froze.

A tear had been lingering at the corner of Chu Xianmin's eye as she concealed her disbelief. How? Chu Liuyue should be…

A petite silhouette approached against the light.

"First Elder must be joking. As the Chu family's eldest daughter, I have a share of all the family's assets. Why would I steal my sister's money and betray my family?" Chu Liuyue walked into the hall with a smile, but it made Chu Xianmin quiver. "Am I right, Sister?"
