Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Ge lived in a very carefree manner, as if nothing in the world could hold her back. She yearned for this rebellious way of life but did not dare to hope for it.

She did not dare and could not forget her identity, including the burden on her shoulders.

Even if the slightest thing went wrong, she would meet with tons of trouble.

“I don’t know why I can appear and meet you either.” The original owner’s gaze moved from Mu Ge’s body and looked afar instead, as if she was avoiding contact with Mu Ge to save whatever was left of her dignity and pride. “But I know that I’ll completely disappear 49 days later.”

Completely disappear? That sounded like good news.

Mu Ge’s eyes swept across the original owner’s translucent body.

The original owner seemed to not notice this. Her transparent lips pressed against each other tightly and she stared at the darkness and spoke, “Mu Qingge – Thailand’s Kingo General that protects the country, Master Yong Ning’s eldest grandchild and the descendent to the throne. You’re 15 this year. You’re unreasonable and it’s hard to detect your mood. In your family, other than your grandfather – Mu Xiong, the only blood-related relative you have is your Aunt – Mu Lianrong. The 500 guards that sacrificed their lives for me are my personal bodyguards. The reason why we came to the battlefield at this barren land and away from Luo Du is…”

Mu Ge did not interrupt the original owner and listened to her in detail.

After she was reborn, she did not get any of the original owner’s memories. At this moment, the original owner seemed to be helping her to better adjust to the body and continue to live on with a new identity.

Listening to the original owner’s narration, Mu Ge propped her body up and sat on the grass. Casually plucking the wild grass around her, she said, “So it seems like your pristine body came to this battlefield because you were agitated by someone and you did this impulsively.”

The original owner pressed her lips against each other tightly and did not retort. She nodded, but did not notice Mu Ge’s increasingly cold expression.

Suddenly, anger rapidly built up in her heart, causing her already agonized body to feel as if oil was being added to fire. In her previous life, she was a general and knew the meaning of being one. However, she could not accept the fact that the reason why the 500 soldiers died was because of a good-for-nothing’s impulsive nature.

“I’m afraid I’ll never be able to return to them what I owe them. However, I’m begging you, please don’t let those evil people go off the hook.” It seemed like the original owner did not say anything about ‘you need to help me do this and that because you occupied my body’ and instead requested it sincerely, due to Mu Ge’s previous warning.

Mu Ge’s hostility slowly faded away.

Even though those 500 people did not protect her, she did benefit from it. From another perspective, if the 500 people did not risk their lives to protect this body, it would long become a hive due to the numerous arrows being shot at her. If so, how would she be born again?

Okay then, she would just return this favor.

Thinking in this manner, Mu Ge nodded and seemingly agreed to it.

After getting the answer she wanted, the original owner’s tightly-clenched fists relaxed. If Mu Ge did not agree to it, she really could not do anything about it.

“Why would that person harm you? What’s this situation of suddenly becoming a man and a woman?” asked Mu Ge with her eyebrows raised as she tapped on the grass.

The original owner smiled uneasily and was sort of disappointed, as the pride in her bones disappeared at that moment. “It’s because I was greedy for something that I shouldn’t even have longed for. Other people could not take it lying, so they wanted to teach me a lesson. I didn’t expect this lesson would cost my life. If at this moment, he knew that I’m dead, I wonder if he would…”

“Hey! I don’t have time to listen to your romance story,” interrupted Mu Ge suddenly. She muttered, “You’re so young and yet you’re in love. Do I really need to face such bad romance after travelling back in time?”

The words were heartless, but Mu Ge could clearly feel the original owner’s reluctance towards the person she loved.

Just that, was that person worth it?

Perhaps Mu Qingge would also avoid this question herself.

Forget it, she would only know if it was worth it after she met the person in the future.

At this moment, Mu Ge was more concerned about her own body.

“I’m originally a girl, but for Grandpa and the Mu family, I can’t help but hide my femininity and act as a male. The reason why I can disguise myself is a special enchantment, the purple earring on your left ear.” After the original owner finished her sentence, she looked towards Mu Ge’s left ear.

“Special enchantment?” Mu Ge raised her hand and touched the purple earring. This small thing suddenly made her into a male and female?

The original owner continued. “There’s only one such enchantment in the entire Lin Chuan. I don’t know how Mother got her hands on it, but I know that this thing can change the owner’s gender as if it’s a camouflage, making it hard for others to differentiate. Now, the enchantment is damaged so it would naturally cause changes in your body, but it’ll repair itself after tonight. Tomorrow morning, you’ll be the Young Master of Mu Residence, Master Yong Ning’s heir and the descendent of the Lord.”

After the original owner finished her sentence, the translucent body became even more blurred.

“Hey!” Mu Ge was shocked and stood up.

“I’ve said too much tonight. I’m kind of tired. I’ll stay by your side throughout the 49 days. If you need me, just call for me.” The voice faded away and Mu Qingge’s shadow also disappeared into thin air.

“You left just like that?” Mu Ge raised her eyebrows slightly and her clear eyes surveyed the surroundings. After confirming that Mu Qingge was no longer around, she raised her hand to touch the earring on her left ear.

The purple earring seemed to stop glowing, but under Mu Ge’s touch, it shone brightly and strangely, as if it had a life of its own.

“There’s actually such a magical disguise. It seems like this world isn’t so boring.” Mu Ge put her hand down and started unbuttoning the torn and tattered robe on her body.

Mu Qingge’s sudden appearance interrupted her thoughts to clean herself. Now that her suspicions were cleared, she could finally clean herself up under the moonlight.

After taking out the robe and the light armor, Mu Ge only wore her undergarments and stood in the water which reached her knees, as she used the torn cloth to wipe away the blood on her body.

In the silent night, the stars disappeared and only the moon shone on her. The wind blew across lightly, leaving the sounds of water droplets landing.

Suddenly, a strangely fragrant smell was in the air.

Mu Ge suddenly paused her movements and her shoulders tensed up. She instantly figured out the direction of the fragrance and immediately hollered coldly, “Come out!”
