Tian Wu Country
In the deep autumn night, the full moon hung high in the sky, casting a hazy glow.
A shining meteor streaked through the clouds, transforming into a golden light that vanished into a dilapidated temple.
Inside the temple, shattered tiles were scattered everywhere, and countless cobwebs dangled from the ceiling.
“Hiss, it’s so cold!”
Ye Ying’s delicate brows furrowed, her body curled into a tight ball.
Who dared to splash cold water on her?
She slowly opened her eyes, her body feeling weak and sore. The first thing that met her gaze was an incredibly repulsive face.
“Oh my god, what is going on?”
At this moment, a man with a pointed mouth, monkey cheeks, and a gaunt frame, his upper body bare, leered at her with a lascivious smile.
“Heh heh, young lady, you’re finally awake!”
With that, the man, his mouth full of yellow teeth, puckered his foul-smelling lips, about to plant a kiss on her.
“Damn it!”
Ye Ying cursed inwardly, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes. “Disgusting man, daring to take liberties with me! I’ll beat you so bad your own mother wouldn’t recognize you.”
She clenched her fist and swung it towards the repulsive man’s face. Her movements were swift, but due to the drug in her system, her body was limp. The punch landed on the man’s face with no force at all.
“Heh heh, young lady, you’ve been poisoned with the Three-Day Soft Bone Powder. If you’re wise, you can suffer less.”
The repulsive man, confident she couldn’t escape the dilapidated temple, continued to spew vulgarities to torment her.
Ye Ying was so furious she wanted to shoot him.
Damn it, she needed to find a way to counteract the Three-Day Soft Bone Powder in her body quickly.
So, she silently chanted in her mind, “Antidote, antidote.”
Suddenly, a “beep! beep! beep!” sound echoed in her mind.
A capsule instantly appeared in her fist. Ye Ying’s heart leaped with joy, knowing this was the antidote she needed.
While the repulsive man turned to relieve himself, she eagerly popped the antidote into her mouth.
Soon, the Three-Day Soft Bone Powder was neutralized. Her mind became clearer, and her strength returned.
When the repulsive man approached her again, anger flashed in her eyes. She casually picked up a broken tile and flung it, hitting the man directly on the forehead.
“Ah—!”
The repulsive man cried out, his forehead immediately gushing blood.
He covered his forehead with one hand, glaring at Ye Ying with seething hatred, wishing he could swallow her whole.
Ye Ying rolled over and stood up, casting a cold glance at the repulsive man. Then, she calmly tidied her clothes.
To her astonishment, she was wearing Hanfu.
Was she filming a historical drama?
No? No?
She wasn't an actress, so why would she be in a historical drama?
While she was dazed, the repulsive man was also sizing her up.
“What a strange thing, how was the Three-Day Soft Bone Powder in your body neutralized so quickly?”
“However, don’t even think about escaping this ruined temple. You dared to injure me, and I’ll play with you until you die.”
Then, the repulsive man pulled a dagger from his sleeve and lunged at her.
Ye Ying’s movements were agile and her reactions were extremely quick. She evaded the man’s lunges several times, leaving him panting and exhausted.
Only then did Ye Ying seize the opportunity. She bent down, quickly grabbed the man’s wrist with one hand, flashed to his side, and with a strong twist of his wrist, the dagger clattered to the ground.
Ye Ying suddenly released the man’s hand and delivered a fierce kick to his back.
The repulsive man was sent flying directly into the main pillar of the dilapidated temple.
With a “bang!”, the man clutched the pillar and slowly slid to the ground, the pain making stars dance before his eyes.
“Speak, who sent you here?”
Ye Ying narrowed her eyes and asked directly.
“Bah! I’ll never tell you.”
“Stubborn as a mule, are we?”
Ye Ying stomped heavily on the repulsive man’s shoulder. The man gritted his teeth in anger, unable to comprehend how this ugly woman possessed such strength.
It was his fault for lusting after this ugly woman earlier and not killing her decisively.
At this moment, the repulsive man tried to struggle free from Ye Ying’s foot, but Ye Ying gave him no chance, increasing the pressure of her foot.
“Speak! Who sent you here, or I’ll torture you until you wish you were dead.”
Ye Ying’s words made the man gasp, and he cursed softly.
“You wicked bitch, you’re too cruel.”
Ye Ying knew that people like him wouldn’t surrender so easily.
She then kicked the man down, placed one foot on his face, and then grabbed one of his arms, twisting it backward with force. With a “crack,” the arm snapped.
“Ah—!”
The man howled in pain.
“Speak, who sent you here? If you don’t, I’ll break your other arm.”
“Young lady, spare me, I’ll speak, I’ll speak.”
This time, the man was truly terrified.
“It… it was Aunt Liu.”
With that, Ye Ying kicked him away.
“Aunt Liu—”
Hearing this title, Ye Ying felt a sense of familiarity.
Suddenly—
Her head throbbed violently. She raised her hands and clutched her head tightly, her face contorted in pain.
Memories that did not belong to her flooded into her mind.
Meanwhile, the repulsive man, who had been kicked aside, noticed something was amiss. He slowly got up from the ground, intending to escape.
However, as soon as he reached the temple entrance, a dagger flew from behind him, piercing his neck. The repulsive man cried out “Ah—!” and died on the spot.
Damn it all, she had transmigrated after dying.
But she clearly remembered being on a mission with her teammates in the African rainforest when they were ambushed. She was busy rescuing a wounded comrade when a flying bomb exploded, sending her flying.
Then, she transmigrated to this country, Tian Wu, which was not recorded in history.
At this moment, from the unfamiliar memories, she learned that the original owner was named Leng Ruo Li, a notorious, idiotic, and ugly woman, barely sixteen years old.
Her father was the highly decorated General Leng Jin Yu, and her mother was the youngest daughter of the Grand Tutor. She died during childbirth.
However, not long after Leng Ruo Li’s mother passed away, her father, Leng Jin Yu, was drugged with an aphrodisiac at a celebration banquet. He mistook his wife’s good sister for his wife and slept with her, resulting in the birth of her half-sister, Leng Ruo Shuang. Leng Jin Yu had no choice but to take his wife’s good sister as a concubine.
Who knew that this Aunt Liu, who appeared virtuous and dignified on the outside, was actually a ruthless and venomous woman in private.
Since the death of Leng Ruo Li’s grandmother eight years ago, and her father being sent to guard the border by the Emperor, Aunt Liu had become the absolute authority in the mansion.
Not only did she make Leng Ruo Li eat leftovers and wear coarse cloth that even servants disdained, but she also forced Leng Ruo Li to move into the most remote dwelling in the mansion. She even threatened Leng Ruo Li, forbidding her from revealing her true circumstances, or else…
“Heh heh—”
The rest, as they say, was understood.
The repulsive man tonight was sent by Aunt Liu to assassinate Leng Ruo Li. In order to have her own daughter replace Leng Ruo Li and marry Prince Qing, the Empress’s son, she ruthlessly killed Leng Ruo Li.
At this moment, Leng Jin Yu, far away on the border, likely had no idea what had become of his daughter.
Recalling the original owner’s past, Ye Ying felt a suffocating pressure in her chest, and tears welled up in her eyes. Ye Ying knew these were the residual emotions of Leng Ruo Li.
So, she patted her chest and said, “Miss Leng, since we share this body, it’s a form of destiny. Rest assured, I will avenge you. Go reincarnate in peace.”
After that, the oppressive feeling in her heart vanished.
“Sigh—”
Ye Ying sighed deeply.
She, a renowned omnipotent healer and top agent from Country A in the 22nd century, possessing superb medical skills and proficiency in various combat techniques, had inexplicably transmigrated?
However, Ye Ying did not dwell too much on her transmigration. She would adapt to her new circumstances.
From this moment on, she was Leng Ruo Li, no longer Ye Ying of the 22nd century.
At this time, after the previous ordeal, her body was weak. She was already panting and exhausted after walking a short distance out of the dilapidated temple. She was very dissatisfied with this body.
Leng Ruo Li immediately took her own pulse and quickly diagnosed that her body was infected with a chronic poison. It was likely that someone had been administering this poison to her long-term for about eight years.
As a result, the original owner’s body had gradually become frail, her intellect had regressed, and black spots had appeared on her face. Even if Aunt Liu hadn’t tried to kill her this time, the original owner wouldn’t have lived for another year.
Fortunately, she possessed superb medical skills. This poison was not difficult for her to handle. As long as she knew the main components of the toxin, it would be easy to concoct an antidote.
It was just that her portable system was not with her…
Huh? Wait?
How did the modern detoxification capsule she had just taken appear in her hand?
Had her portable system also transmigrated with her?
Thinking of this, Leng Ruo Li silently chanted, “Enter!” She instantly appeared in a familiar large house.
Wasn’t this the portable system she had developed in her previous life?
She hadn’t expected it to transmigrate with her, which was great.
This was probably the most gratifying thing that had happened to her after transmigrating.
Then, she walked around the system space and discovered that it also contained the most advanced and complete medical equipment in the world, as well as a comprehensive range of Chinese and Western medicines, and even an operating room, exactly like her system space in her previous life.
At the same time, there was also a lounge, a kitchen, a dressing room, and a modern arsenal, among other facilities. Not only could she enter and exit the system space at will with her thoughts, but she could also retrieve items remotely from anywhere.
She recalled that when this portable system was first developed, it was merely a small storage chip. During a mission, it was accidentally discovered by enemies, and soon became coveted by various factions.
To prevent her hard-developed portable system from being stolen, she found her most trusted teammate and asked for his help in implanting the chip into her cerebral cortex.
Later, unexpectedly, the portable system merged with her brain. When she discovered this secret, it brought her immense joy.
She was now grateful to fate, not only for letting her transmigrate and be reborn, but also for bringing her portable system with her. With this system space as her backing, she had a guarantee for survival in this ancient world.
Subsequently, she composed herself and turned to exit the system space.
