Chapter 1: Du Xian ER
毒仙儿 (Du Xian Er): Du= poison Xian=fairy Er= used to call someone close
Night
It’s really quiet. Occasionally, sounds of beasts howling and wind blowing through the grass could be heard. The moon is embedded in the dark blue sky. Under the full moon is a pool of water braved by shallow fog. In this dim white mist, a graceful figure is faintly discernible.
“Miss, I’ve found out.”
At one side of the pool, a person in dark clothes knelt on one knee with her head bowed to express her respect for the beauty in the water.
“En……talk…….”
That young woman’s voice sounded sweet like the clear spring in the mountains. In this silent night, it’s particularly pleasant.
“Five years ago, miss and Murong Xin Lian went into the palace together to visit the then guiren1 Murong Xue Lian. Miss stole the glowing pearl that the emperor had gifted to Murong Xue Lian. Murong Xin Lian found out and told prime minister Murong Tai. Murong Tai punished miss with the home punishment (being beaten with a wooden stick on the back). Then he sent miss to Jing Xin An……”
Hearing this, the young woman chuckled.
So it turned out that this was the reason. No wonder when she woke up, she was in a broken house at the back of a nunnery without a single person around her.
Hearing the young woman’s laughter, the person in black paused. Before she wondered why miss let her go investigate this, but after she investigated, she understood. Originally, she thought her own life was miserable, she didn’t expect that miss’s life was even more miserable. Being beaten half to death by her biological father and thrown in the nunnery to fend for herself. It seems that being born in a rich and powerful family was not necessarily a happy thing.
Seemingly to have realized the person in black’s emotions, the young woman laughed heartily: “I’m alright, you can continue.”
“From what this subordinate discovered, the glowing pearl was actually taken by Murong Xin Lian. She let the maid at miss’ side Fei Cui hide it in miss’ chamber and deliberately framed miss. Now, Fei Cui has become Murong Xin Lian’s confidante and head maid.”
“Oh……So it’s like that ah……Fei Cui, Murong Xin Lian……”
The young woman lifted a wisp of black hair and played with it in her hands. White fingers played like snakes with the black hair, making the black hair seem like it’s a waterfall. Really beautiful.
“Miss, do you want…?”
The person in black made a ‘kacha’ hand gesture.
This nasty pair of master and servant used such low means to frame miss. Should have killed them long ago.
In the person in black’s eyes flashed a hint of ruthlessness. Just a nod from miss, and she would immediately go to xiangfu2 and kill those two bitches.
She knew the person in black’s loyalty, but she had never thought about wanting the other party’s life. After all, she is not ‘her’.
The real miss Murong, she’s afraid, must have already died after the twenty slaps from the wooden stick. Now, she’s just a guest from the other world. As long as they don’t provoke her, she’s too lazy to bother with those small characters.
“Am I not the biological daughter of the first wife? Why does this Murong Xin Lian from the illegitimate line dare to do this to me? Could it be that Murong Tai’s first wife is so muddleheaded?”
“Answering miss, even though you are from the legitimate line, but since small, your body is weak and couldn’t practice martial arts, so……”
The following words, the person in black didn’t say but in her heart, she was puzzled. Mozun daren3 used ‘genius from the heaven’ to describe miss. Even that person said miss is ‘a century rare’ genius. How could it be that she’s being called useless by her family?!
“That’s why I’m a useless decoration. Dad doesn’t like me, mom doesn’t love me. Even after knowing that she’s framed, a useless daughter dying is alright. Is this what you wanted to say?”
The young woman swam to the shore and looked smilingly at the person in black kneeling on the ground.
Hearing that, the person in black shuddered. She immediately lowered her head.
“Miss, this was not what this subordinate meant……”
“Hahaha! Stand up! I have said, there aren’t that many rules. I’m teasing you!”
The young woman’s laughter is like silver bells. Seeing that she isn’t angry, the person in black’s heart felt slightly relieved.
Everyone knew that miss is like Mozun daren, temperamental but with extraordinary ability. That’s why she won Mozun daren’s love. Not only did he adopt her as his daughter, he also passed Moyu over to her.
Moyu: a dark sect from jianghu
In this world, you can offend everyone but you couldn’t offend miss.
Offending Mozun daren, at most you’ll die, but if you offend miss, living will be more painful than death. Being with miss for five years, this truth, the person in black understood clearly.
“Miss, it’s those people who don’t have eyes. They dare to treat miss, this pearl, as a pebble. It’s their loss.”
The person in black stood up. The look in her eyes while looking at the young woman was stunning.
Even though she served miss for so long, the times she got to see miss’s true appearance weren’t much. Every time she saw her real appearance, even as a young woman, she’s attracted by miss. Such a beautiful young woman, making people not dare to get closer. Not dare to act profane and couldn’t help but bow to worship……
“No need to bother with them. These are things of the past. They are just some small shrimps. Laoniang4 is too lazy to play with them.”
The young woman once again swam into the water. The white misty fog enveloped her.
“Miss, this time, I’ve found out another thing.”
“The one with a marriage arrangement with miss, Jing wang5 Longze Jing Tian, has won the south, He Lan Yu. Soon, he’ll return triumphantly with the troops to the capital. Now everyone at court is saying that Jing wang is a young war god. Murong Xin Lian seems to have a crush on Longze Jing Tian and wants to sabotage.”
Just now, she was thinking if they didn’t bother her, she wouldn’t bother them. Hearing this, the young woman in the water humphed coldly. Then she laughed again.
“Jing wang is returning? Surely in a few days, Murong Tai will send people over to get me. The funny things will begin!”
Su Mei couldn’t figure out why miss is happy, but she understood, if miss is happy, someone is in trouble. Just don’t know if that unlucky person is Murong Xin Lian or another person……
“First, you go back to Moyu and arrange everything. When you come back, bring Su Yue. Go……”
“Yes!”
After a gust of wind, the person in black disappeared without a trace.
The young woman soaked in the hot spring lazily. Her eyes were looking at the moon in the sky.
In a flash, she had been in this world for five years. Don’t know if the people from that world could also see such a beautiful moon……
Just as the young woman was in deep thought, the sounds of swords came from both far and near.
“Go die, Longze Jing Tian! Your people wouldn’t come here in time! Brothers, hurry! The person who kills Jing wang, the reward will be his! Hahaha!”
“Relying on only you guys, you want to hurt me?”
Although the voice of this person is calm, but he’s already seriously injured. The other party have a lot of men and they’re all experts.
It seems that wanting to take a bath quietly would be impossible…….
The young woman leisurely got out of water. She gently wiped the drops of water from her body. Then she wrapped herself with the white clothes hanging on a tree.
