Chapter 1: Reborn in Another World
"Wooo..."
The constant crying sounds coming from beside her made Cold Snow's already splitting headache even more painful, and her body felt like it had been run over by a car.
"Shut up!" Cold as snow, she growled discontentedly amidst her daze.
"Miss, you're finally awake... wuuu..."
It was you who were too noisy, I didn't want to wake up, said a very displeased voice, she forced herself to open her heavy eyelids, and what entered her eyes was an unfamiliar yet delicate face, with two tear streaks on it, the eyes swollen like walnuts, red and puffy, wearing a green silk dress, looking youthful and lovely, that is if she wasn't crying.
Where is she? Shouldn't she be dead? Died in a plane crash... Her good cousin, Leng Qier, would say this to everyone, and the master of the Leng family, her good grandfather, would probably just go along with it. After all, he had already lost his best chess piece and could only settle for second best. From childhood to adulthood, Leng Qier was always inferior to her, so she had been jealous of her since childhood, not only thinking that she had taken her place as the heir, but also believing that she had taken away the man she liked. And this time, in order to get rid of her, she bribed the pilot and installed a bomb on the plane. This time, she finally succeeded.
"Who are you? Where is this?" asked Leng Ruoxue, suppressing her physical discomfort and asking in confusion.
"Miss, you are my family's miss, and I am Cui Zhu. Miss doesn't recognize Cui Zhu anymore? Wuuu... My poor miss, it's all because Cui Zhu didn't protect the miss well, which led to the miss being bullied..." Seeing her wake up with a hint of joy on her face, the little maid immediately turned gloomy again upon hearing that her own miss didn't recognize her.
"Stop, don't cry first, where is this?" Leng Ruoxue was somewhat helpless, why did this little girl like to cry so much.
"Miss, this is your home, it's the General's mansion!" Cui Zhu said with some resentment, her voice choked with tears. She was still worried about Miss after all, how could Miss possibly dislike her?
"Is this my home?" Leng Ruoxue slightly raised her head to look around, the room was extremely spacious and the furnishings were very exquisite, with an ancient charm. From her perspective, every single item could be considered a rare antique, and its value was not trivial, absolutely not something that ordinary people could afford. And the clothes on this little maid who called herself a servant girl also seemed to be from ancient times. This little maid said that this was her home, and that this was the General's Manor, but she clearly remembered that she should have been dead. Who could tell her what was going on?
"Cui Zhu, Miss, I've lost my memory, I don't remember anything!" Leng Ruo Xue said helplessly, lightly sighing, it's better to pretend to have amnesia before figuring out the situation here!
"Miss!"
"Cui Zhu, where is this place? What's your name, miss?"
"Miss is called Leng Ruoxue, the most beloved granddaughter of the first general of Dongchi country. This is the capital city of Fengdu in Dongchi country. Miss was bullied and injured, fainted for three days and three nights, and finally woke up. But unexpectedly, miss doesn't even remember Qingzhu..."
The young lady in the green bamboo mouth is also called Leng Ruoxue, and she's injured too? What a coincidence! Although Leng Ruoxue had more and more question marks in her heart, but on her face, not a single one was revealed.
"I'm hurt, how did I get hurt?" No wonder my head hurts so much, it turns out I was injured.
"It was that despicable Seventh Prince and Xu Na'er who beat Miss up. It's all because Cui Zhu didn't protect Miss well!"
Cui Zhu was filled with self-reproach, and her eyes were brimming with tears again, as if it might rain at any moment.
"Has the young lady awakened?" Just as Leng Ruo Xue was asking the simple and innocent maid, a woman wearing black silk gauze walked in. She had a tall and slender figure, with a beautiful face that showed worry despite not having tears on her cheeks like the little maid did. Who was this? It couldn't be another maid, could it? But her demeanor was such that one might believe she was a noble lady. This woman's age was clearly older than the little maid, and she seemed more mature as well.
"Green Peach sister, miss has lost her memory, doesn't remember us anymore... wuwuwu..."
"Miss!" The woman named Green Peach looked at Leng Ruoxue with concern, and suddenly her aura changed, becoming sharp and fierce.
"Miss, don't be afraid, Green Peach is here. Green Peach won't let that cheap person bully you again. Green Peach will protect you well. This time it's all Green Peach's mistake, which gave that little cheap person a chance to take advantage. Green Peach guarantees there won't be a next time..."
"Are you Green Peach?" The icy gaze swept up and down, sizing up the woman who had suddenly become fiery in front of her. The maid with a gentle and elegant demeanor turned out to be a fiery girl as well.
"Miss, what did you just say?" Green Peach widened her beautiful eyes, somewhat disbelieving.
"I asked you if your name is Green Peach," said Leng Ruo Xue with a slight frown, somewhat displeased.
"Miss, you're okay, this is really great..." Green Peach looked at her own miss, although she seemed to be still a bit confused, but her eyes were clear and her speech was clear, where was the silly look? It's worth noting that from childhood to adulthood, Miss had never spoken a complete sentence so clearly. She remembered when she first taught Miss to call her and Cui Zhu by name, Miss had taken a long time to remember it. Seeing her miss, whom she had served since childhood, finally regain her senses, Green Peach was overjoyed.
Leng Ruo Xue didn't know why these two maids were so excited to see her wake up, even if they were her maids, it was a bit too much excitement!
"Green Peach, Miss, I don't remember what happened before, you tell Miss about it!" Leng Ruo Xue didn't dare to let Cui Zhu say any more, in case she started crying again.
"Miss, I'll tell you from the beginning!" Green Peach said with a bright and cheerful face.
"Okay."
"Green Peach, let's talk about how I got hurt first?" Leng Ruo Xue was quite helpless. Although she wanted to hear more details, Green Peach didn't have to start from her birth, did she? That would take forever!
"Miss, you were injured because of the Seventh Prince..." Green Peach raised her eyes and looked at her mistress's face, speaking cautiously, and only continued after seeing that her mistress didn't react.
After listening for a long time, Leng Ruo Xue finally managed to make some sense of it. It turned out that Lv Tao was so excited because the foolish young lady from her household had regained her sanity, which was absolutely great news for the Jiang Jun Fu.
Because the "Miss" in their mouths is not only a weak-minded fool born with intellectual disability, but also the Crown Prince's fiancée, who is the mastermind behind her injury - the Seventh Prince. The so-called fiancé not only despises her for being an idiot but also has another love interest. Her rival is Miss Xu Nai'er from one of the five major families, the Xu family. Cold and foolish Ruo Xue is deeply infatuated with her fiancé and always follows him around whenever she hears he's somewhere. Miss Xu took advantage of Ruo Xue's feelings for the Seventh Prince, tricked her into going out, humiliated her in every way, and even beat her up. Due to severe injuries, Ruo Xue fainted for three days and only woke up today.
Moreover, not only did she wake up, but her mind also cleared up. No wonder they were so excited. However, only Leng Ruoxue knew that the one who woke up was not the silly and foolish young lady, but a soul from another world. Who would have thought that although she died in the explosion, heaven gave her a second chance at life? This time, she must live more wonderfully than before.
As for the seventh prince Li Yu, and Xu Na'er, just wait for her revenge! Occupying someone else's body, you have to pay a price, so she will take revenge on behalf of the original owner of this body, she won't let her die in vain!
"Miss, you're so beautiful!" Cui Zhu was combing Rong Ruoxue's hair while gazing at her own mistress's stunning face, which made it impossible for anyone to look away. She had always known that their family's miss was a beauty, but she hadn't expected that the unmade-up miss would be this lovely.
Leng Ruo Xue sat on the leather stool in front of the dresser, her spirit obviously much better than the past few days. She gazed at herself in the copper mirror, her clear and cold temperament, delicate skin as smooth as jade, and an absolutely beautiful face that already had the capital to captivate cities. And she couldn't help but admit, this face was even more beautiful than her previous life.
However, the first time she saw her own appearance was not like this now. At that time, she had a thick layer of powder on her face and painted in five colors and six colors. The clothes on her body were also colorful and confusing. From the residual memories of this body, she knew that it was the original owner of the body who made herself look like this. Because she didn't know where to hear that the seventh prince liked this kind of appearance, so she dressed herself up in the style that the seventh prince liked. And her grandfather spoiled her, so he let her go.
It's really unexpected that this body still has memories, and they've even merged with hers. Unfortunately, there aren't many useful ones - most of them are just about that scumbag Seventh Prince. But she also knows it's pointless to expect much from a weak-minded fool. As for how she got hurt, it's similar to what Green Peach said. However, she can't blame the two maidservants for not protecting her well enough - if anyone's to blame, it's that scumbag for being too charismatic.
"Miss, here are the books you wanted." Green Peach walked in from outside with a few old-looking books in her hand, interrupting Cold Snow's thoughts. She gently placed the books in front of Cold Snow and then retreated out of the room with Cui Zhu, so as not to disturb Miss while she read. She knew that since Miss had woken up, she had fallen in love with reading and wouldn't allow anyone to disturb her when she was reading.
There were three books in total. One was "Rhombus Wind Record", which recorded some strange people and events on this continent, including the origin of this continent, the distribution of countries, geographical location, etc. Another one was "Spiritual Power Introduction", which introduced the source, type and awakening method of spiritual power. There was also a book called "Occupation Overview", mainly introducing the types and levels of occupations. Although these books only introduced the most basic knowledge, they were what she needed to understand the most at present.
Leng Ruo Xue first read "Hegang Zhi", knowing that this continent was called Hegang Continent, and on the continent, there were not only humans but also many kinds of spiritual beasts. The country she was in was called Dongchi Country, one of the five most powerful countries on the Hegang Continent. The five great nations and the five great families were the top forces in this world. People in this world worshipped the strong, and only the strong would receive people's respect. The birth and family background of the weak would be despised, no matter how good they were. That foolish Leng Ruo Xue was the best example. Although she had a noble birth, she was considered an idiot, so even ordinary civilians in Dongchi Country looked down on her. But Leng Ruo Xue did not want to be a useless person who would be bullied and insulted by others. She wanted to become a strong person who could dominate the nine heavens!
In "Occupation Overview", it is introduced that the most respected and powerful occupation in this world is the Spirit Master, while the equally prestigious Dan Master, Instrument Master, and Beast Tamer are not as popular due to their high thresholds. Therefore, the Spirit Master can be said to be the most welcomed occupation, but not everyone can become a highly respected Spirit Master. The primary condition for becoming a Spirit Master is the awakening of spiritual power, and only about one in a thousand people can successfully awaken and become a Spirit Master. Becoming a Spirit Master is also a basic requirement for becoming an Instrument Master, Dan Master, or Beast Tamer, which shows the importance of Spirit Masters.
Because the previous owner of this body was an idiot, he had never awakened his spiritual power, so Leng Ruo Xue wasn't quite sure if she had the qualifications to cultivate her spirit. Moreover, the best age for awakening one's spiritual power is between 5 to 10 years old, and she was already 15 this year, so she didn't know if there was still a chance for her to awaken it. However, regardless of whether she could awaken it or not, she would definitely try, as she had never been someone who gave up easily, especially since this was only the first test on her path to becoming stronger!
