Wenren Yunfei had been desiring that phoenix pearl for a long time. It had been a gift bestowed by the emperor. There was no way Wenren YunFei wouldnât come when this was used to lure her. This pair of scum man and woman had hurt the original XunMi so harshly. Thus, sheâll now let them know what the saying âone will treat you the way you treat themâ means.
Something that made XunMi pleased was that the original soul had a similar personality as hers. The original had the additional feel of a well-balanced woman of ancient times, but she was also an independent, strong, and proud woman.
When she was done, she walked to the doorway fiddling with a spray bottle filled with knockout drops in her hand. She planned to greet Wenren YunFei with the mist as soon as she pushed open the door to enter.
Soon, footsteps could be heard from outside. XunMiâs lips curved into a demonic smile.
âSecond younger sister, I heard that you wanted to give your big sister something. What is it?â Wenren Yunfei eagerly rushed in without even knocking on the door. The sight in the room before her didnât even register yet before she heard a voice call out, âBig sister.â
Instinctively, she turned her head. A faint smell wavered into her nose. The last thing she saw before she sank into darkness was Wenren XunMiâs face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Xiang had shut door the moment that Wenren YunFei entered the room. As her young missâ trusted servant girl, she knew that young mistress definitely had something up her sleeve. âYoung miss, why did you knock Eldest Miss unconscious?â
Although Xiao Xiang could guess a bit of the reason, she couldnât entirely understand the reason for her young missâ actions.
XunMi put back her knockout drops. âXiao Xiang, quickly change her into the wedding clothing.â She also sprang into action, dragging the numerous matchmaker aunties on the ground to behind the folding screen. Xiao Xiang also moved quickly. By the time XunMi came back out, Wenren YunFeiâs light pink long skirt had transformed into the bright red wedding dress. XunMi nodded her head in satisfaction: âXiao Xiang, remember. From now on, that is your young miss, the Second Miss of the Prime Minister. When the crown prince and his entourage come, tell them that I had just chatted with my big sister and felt down-hearted about leaving the prime minister residence, causing me to fainting from the strain of crying.â In ancient times, no one would take off the veil before the traditional kneeling ceremony during the wedding. Even if anyone did, it was fine.
XunMi walked over to the dressing table, picking up the cinnabar inside the makeup box while observing the female lead. En, her looks are not bad. But they are still inferior to mine.
It was mainly because she didnât have that natural innocence and yet still stubbornly attempted to fake it, causing her pretty face to lose much of its color. Meanwhile, XunMiâs face was glamorous. When she wasnât smiling, she emitted a cold and elegant atmosphere. Once she smiled, a fresh and clean feeling would hit onlookers in the face. That small red birthmark under her right eye gave her extremely beautiful face an extra layer of uniqueness.
XunMi dabbed a dot of red onto the corner of Wenren YunFeiâs right eye. Leaning back to admire her work, she placed the cinnabar down when she was satisfied with the view from the side profile.
âYoung miss, donât worry. I wonât let anyone notice anything. Itâs just that...â She hesitated, looking at her all around outstanding, much more superior young miss with worry.
XunMi lightly rubbed Xiao Xiangâs head, smiling widely. âXiao Xiang, youâve been by my side for this long, you also know about the crown prince and my sisterâs love affair. If I marry over, the only thing waiting for me is an abyss. As a good sister, I naturally should help them achieve what they truly want. For the time being, Iâll hide away. Tomorrow morning, Iâll pretend to have been kidnapped and run back from outside. If my mother comes in to talk, you must relay my message to her. Xiao Xiang, my life and freedom are in your hands. When everything is done, Iâll send you and mother back to the Dukeâs estate. We wonât stay here to suffer.â
The prime minister estate was like a pool of quicksand. With one careless move, you would fall in, unable to ever get back up. Xiao Xiang solemnly nodded her head: âYoung miss, donât worry. Please be careful out there, young miss.â
Ever since she was bought by young miss, allowing her to escape the fate of being sent to brothels, Xiao Xiang had sworn to be loyal to young miss. Young miss was so good to her. Now that she had a chance to help young miss, she was very happy. âXiao Xiang, you also must take care of yourself. Tomorrow Iâll come pick you up.â XunMi gave Xiao Xiang a quick hug, then rapidly stepped onto a stool and climbed out the side window.
Xiao Xiang then placed the stool back in its original spot. After making sure her young miss had safely left the yard, she shut the window. Coincidentally at the same moment, a knock came from the front door. Madamâs voice could be heard from outside. Xiao Xiang followed young missâ instructions, bringing Madam before quickly passing on young missâ words.
Shangguan Yan was a governmental officialâs daughter, as well as the Dukeâs legitimate daughter, married into the prime minister estate for 20some years. She had already lost affection for the prime minister. If not for her son and daughter, she would have already left to become a nun. This time around, she had heard of the crown prince and the Eldest Missâ love affair. Yet, as the legal but not in favor wife of the prime minister, she didnât have any say. Moreover, the other party was the crown prince, the emperorâs son. She thought she would be forced to watch her daughter jump into a pit of fire. She didnât factor in how smart her daughter was, or that she would plan a switcheroo. She believed in her daughterâs abilities. Now that she could let go of her worries, all she had to do was wait for the time to pass.
Meanwhile. XunMi had escaped from the back garden, appearing in a small alley. Looking around, she was completely disoriented. She had met a group of guards on patrol near the door. In the pursuing chaos, she dodged into the neighboring familyâs yard. After finding her way out of that yard with difficulty, she somehow ended up here. âBaoBao, come out. Didnât you say you were useful? This is the time to display your use!! Give me a map, find Building 1.â
Her first order of business at Building 1 was leaving them a list. She needed someone to protect Xiao Xiang behind the scenes, while simultaneously monitoring Wenren YunFei. As a 21st century college student, her ideology and that of the people of this time shouldnât be on the same wavelength. XunMi was worried that she wouldnât do as those books say, where the transmigrating character creates guns and explosives. If that happened, then XunMi would really cry.
While the system was unlocking the difficulty levels of the worlds, it had also explained that if the host were to find any objects that exceeded the dimension during the mission, then the host must eliminate it. Or else, that worldâs mission could only be counted as volunteer work. Fuck volunteer work. She put her hard work into doing the mission to gain points, not to do volunteer work!
She had already asked BaoBao why there would be such a provision. BaoBao explained that when things that exceed the dimension appear, it is very likely to lead to the collapse of that world.
[Crycrycry~~~ Host, thereâs good news and thereâs bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?] BaoBao feebly appeared in physical form and slowly floated towards XunMi.
XunMiâs forehead creased, gnashing her teeth to say: âTell me the good news.â
[The good news is that I do have a map! I just havenât enabled it...I can only give locate things. And to locate, I must first have their coordinates.]
Seeing his hostâs face darken, BaoBao shivered in the air.
âThen is the bad news that you cannot locate Building 1?â
