Tianling Dynasty.
The royal family’s ancestral hall.
There was a strong smell of blood in the somber main hall.
There was a woman trapped in the silver cage that sat in the middle of the hall.
She lay on the floor, curled up into a ball as she trembled. Her ornate palace gown was dyed with blood, the skirt eerily emptyher legs had been cut off!
There was the sound of footsteps, and Shangguan Yue looked up with much difficulty.
A familiar face appeared before her eyes.
Her heart wildly trembled because the person who appeared was none other than her fiance whom she was set to wedJiang Yucheng!
“Shangguan Yue, how does it feel to lose your force and become an invalid?”
Shangguan Yue looked at him in disbelief. “It was you!”
Jiang Yucheng smiled. “How does the snow tea that I have been brewing for you for the past three years taste with a side of mortalizing powder?”
Shangguan Yue froze, then laughed desolately. She thought they had a perfect romance, but he had been out to get her right from the start! The expression on her face gradually turned cold. “Jiang Yucheng, do you know what the punishment for murdering the princess is?”
Jiang Yucheng smiled and remained silent, but a female voice appeared in the main hall. “Sister, now that things have come to this, do you still think that you’re still the high and mighty princess?”
Shangguan Yue whipped her head around, and a girl walked in elegantly. It was the sister that she doted on the mostShangguan Wan!
The face that was usually gentle and timid was now obnoxious and arrogant!
“One day and one night, you’ve lost almost all your blood. Who’s going to come and save you? Our critically ill father, or your Thirteen Yue Guard far away at the frontiers?”
Shangguan Yue’s heart turned cold. “Father’s illness it was you?!” They were probably behind the departure of the Thirteen Yue Guard as well!
Shangguan Wan blinked and patted her chest before she looked towards Jiang Yucheng coyly.
“Yucheng, sister’s so fierce. Wan’er is scared.”
Jiang Yucheng smiled as he put his arm around her waist. “What’s there to be scared of? She’s nothing but an invalid now. If we use her blood to cultivate your Yuan meridian, your talents will increase drastically. By then, everything will be yours!”
Shangguan Wan looked at her sister with jealousy. “Sister, you were born with a Tianjing Yuan meridian, crowned as the ordained princess. Everything you had was the best! But why? Just because your mother was the queen, while mine was a concubine?”
She was indignant, so she wanted to take everything that Shangguan Yue had and make it hers. “Don’t worry. From now on, the man you love and your future throne, I will take good care of them on your behalf!”
Shangguan Yue felt that there were weights on her chest and that she was about to explode! The two people that she trusted the most were betraying her!
As Shangguan Wan admired her sister’s tortured expression, it did not seem to be enough for her. “Oh, right. Sister, on account of your care all these years, I’ll make sure to send you off properly. Hopefully, you can be reunited with your mother and brother, who died young,” she added.
The words were like grenades that exploded by Shangguan Yue’s ears. Could it be that her mother and brother’s fatal accident by the frozen lake was not an accident?
“Did you know that when seventh brother died, he was still calling for you”
“Shangguan Wan!” Shangguan Yue cried out.
Harming her father, betraying her, cutting off her legs, and trapping her here. All of these crimes were unpardonable! Little did she expect that her revered mother and favorite brother had perished in their hands too!
She glared at the pair with bloodshot eyes as if she were a demon from the depths of hell. In the next instance, a crimson fire swept across the hall. Shangguan Yue had activated the self-destruction mechanism of the Tianjing Yuan meridian in her body.
A fireball the size of a longan flew out and headed straight for Shangguan Wan’s dantian!
Shangguan Wan immediately felt her Yuan meridian burning! She began screaming in panic. “My Yuan meridian!”
Even though Jiang Yucheng managed to avoid it narrowly, half of his right arm had been sliced off!
“If I get a second chance at life I’ll have my vengeance!” Shangguan Yue’s words were like a curse!
Nobody saw the flashing cryptic characters that formed on the pool of blood!
Year 1653 of the Tianling Dynasty. Princess Shangguan Yue passed away because of Qi deviation.
Pain!
Pain that could be felt in the bones!
It was like her flesh was being ripped apart and burned!
A fuzzy voice appeared in her ears. “Heh heh, big brother, even though this lass is like a twig, her face is stunning. Isn’t it kind of a waste to kill her just like this?”
“Yeah! Big brother, no matter what, she is the Chu family’s Big Missy. It must feel good to play with her!”
“Cheh, what Big Missy? This useless thing that doesn’t even have the Yuan meridian. The entire Chu family treats her as the family’s black sheep!”
“Big brother, since Third Missy only said to make her disappear, can’t we just burn everything after we’re done? It’s not like people from the Chu family will come looking for her.”
There was a sharp pain in Shangguan Yue’s brain, and she opened her eyes!
Underneath the blinding lights, she saw a perverse looking man reaching towards her chest!
“You must be tired of living!” Shangguan Yue cried out, only to find that her voice was completely different from before! Her voice was raspy as if she had not had water for a long time. However, it was rather obvious that the voice belonged to a 12-year-old or 13-year-old girl!
Before she could think things through, she grabbed the man’s wrist and bent it hard. At the same time, she kicked her leg out!
“Ah!” A tragic cry echoed in the forest!
