Chapter 01
Rumble——
Rumbling——
Continuous loud noises echoed in Gu Yan Fei's ears.
Her eardrums were buzzing. The ground beneath her was shaking violently.
There was a heart-rending pain in all limbs, as if a carriage had run over her.
Gu Yan Fei struggled to open her eyes. Blood was covering her left eye like gauze. Her vision was blurred.
Gray dust filled the air.
The surroundings were in a mess. The narrow and dilapidated carriage was crumbling.
"Second Miss…"
A low groan sounded in Gu Yan Fei's ears. So feeble and weak.
This female voice was so familiar yet unfamiliar.
Gu Yan Fei's pupils shrank. Her body trembled slightly.
She slowly turned her head to look. There was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in a green dress lying on her right side. Her hair was in a messy bun and one arm was wrapped around Gu Yan Fei's waist protectively.
The green-clothed girl's face was facing downwards. So she couldn't see her face clearly. But Gu Yan Fei was sure just from the other party's figure.
It was Juan Bi, her former maid, Juan Bi.
The pain in her body reminded her that everything in front of her wasn’t an illusion, nor a dream.
She actually came back. She returned to this Dajing Dynasty from Yaoling Realm. Back to her previous life.
In her previous life, she only lived for a short dozen or so years. It was only after her death, she realized that she was just cannon fodder in the novel ‘Phoenix’s Way in Flourishing World’.
Her short life was a joke.
Clearly she was the legitimate daughter of Marquis Dingyuan Manor. She should have been the apple of the eye of her parents. But when she was born, she was secretly swapped. She grew up in poverty.
It wasn't until she was fourteen years old that the Marquis Manor found out the truth about the real and fake daughter swap. A supervising attendant was sent to Huaibei to bring her back.
Back then, she was full of longing for her blood relatives and traveled thousands of miles to the capital. But to her surprise, there was no place for her in the Marquis Manor.
The fake daughter Gu Yun Xie, who grew up in the Marquis Manor in her place, grew up under the pampering of Gu Family. She was the heart and soul of Gu Family. The female lead of this novel.
As the female lead, Gu Yun Xie was not only the daughter of luck, but also resourceful, self-respecting and self-loving. She was famous in the capital and attracted many young talents to fall in love with her. The male lead, King Kang, had a special liking for her. In the end, the lovers finally got married.
In contrast, Gu Yan Fei grew up in the countryside. Someone dull and ignorant with nothing but the blood of Gu Family. Her existence was only there to set off the female lead's otherworldliness.
The past events from a long, long time ago flashed through Gu Yan Fei's mind...
In her previous life, she was a short-lived ghost. She was schemed on, framed, and trampled by others... She was the stepping stone for Gu Yun Xie to reach the peak.
In the end, she ended up with a thousand arrows piercing her heart and died.
After her death, her soul wandered in the world, watching Gu Family's decline and watching Gu Yun Wei help King Kang win the imperial power struggle. King Kang ascended the throne as emperor. Gu Yun Wei was proclaimed as empress, the phoenix that ruled the world.
Gu Yan Fei was just a ghost, who can only watch and can't do anything...
Later, she finally reincarnated with the memory of this life to the Yaoling Realm.
Yaoling Realm was completely different from this world in the first life. It was a cultivation realm full of spiritual energy. There were also cultivators who rely on spiritual energy to cultivate. Gu Yan Fei had become a cultivator, a medical cultivator.
At the flick of a finger, it was two hundred years. With great difficulty, she managed to attain the Great Perfection of the Golden Core. When she was breaking through to the Nascent Soul, her inner demons broke out and she was struck back to the first life by the ninth thunder.
She never thought that she could come back again. Back to ‘this day’ when she was fourteen years old!
She still remembers ‘this day’. How could she forget it!!
At this time, she had already left Huaibei and had yet to arrive in the capital. The supervising attendant left her halfway at Danyang City, telling her to learn the rules first.
She stayed in Danyang City for a full three months. During this time, the maid who served her was Juan Bi.
She clearly remembered that in the afternoon of that day, the carriage she was riding in fell from a hundreds of feet high cliff due to a landslide. The carriage and horses were all destroyed. She was the only person in the carriage who survived.
Back then, she thought it was just a tragic accident. What she didn't know was that all of this was a carefully planned scheme by Fang Ming Feng, the heir of Ying Guogong to take her life.
It was all because the person he liked was the fake daughter, Gu Yun Wei. But due to the family interest, he had no choice but to get engaged to her, Gu Yan Fei.
He couldn't resist his family, so he could only pinch the soft persimmons.
‘Soft persimmon’ Gu Yan Fei pursed her lips, endured the discomfort in her body, and sat up. A violent surge of blood in her heart seemed to be overwhelming.
After she was reincarnated in the Yaoling Realm, she couldn't let go of it. Gradually, her unfulfilled wishes and regrets in this life became her demons.
Even though many past events became blurred and irrelevant over the long years, the ‘inner demon’ still existed in her heart.
Probably because of this, she failed to break through to Nascent Soul...
Probably because of this, Heaven brought her back to this life.
Since she came here, she should face the reality in a calm manner.
Gu Yan Fei hurriedly adjusted her breathing. Soon, she calmed down. Her eyes were deep.
"Juan Bi!" She called as she quickly turned Juan Bi's petite body around, letting her lie flat on the wool carpet.
What caught her eyes was Juan Bi's somewhat naive looking round face. Her complexion was as pale as paper. Her plump lips were faintly gray and purple. A few strands of black hair stained with blood and dust were messily scattered on her face.
Her breathing was extremely weak. The movement of her nostrils was barely visible. Mouthfuls of bright red blood overflowed from her lips and trickled down her chin and neck. She looked as if she would die in the next moment.
Gu Yan Fei put three fingers firmly on Juan Bi's wrist and concentrated on feeling the weak and slow pulse coming from under her fingers.
Juan Bi not only suffered trauma, but also had multiple fractures in her body. Her spleen was bleeding. She almost stepped into the gate of hell with one foot. Even if Hua Tuo was reborn, he would be helpless.
In her previous life, Juan Bi died.
She couldn't save Juan Bi, so she could only watch her take her last breath as she wept uncontrollably.
Tears can't save anyone.
Gu Yan Fei pursed her lips. She quickly tore off a piece of paper from a book next to her, bit her finger to force out blood, and drew a series of weird runes like earthworms on the piece of paper in one go.
Then, she patted the rune lightly on Juan Bi's Baihui acupoint and spat out four words unhurriedly: "Juan Bi, wake up."
In this narrow space, her voice was ethereal and sacred, like the sound of heaven.
At the same time as the voice fell, a bright orange flame suddenly ignited at the corner of the talisman paper written in blood. It burned out in the blink of an eye.
"..." Juan Bi's closed eyelids trembled. Her eyelashes moved slightly. A low moan escaped from her mouth.
