Chapter 1: Transmigrated!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Canopy Mountain Range outside the Phoenix Shadow Nation’s city.

Bang!

A corpse was mercilessly thrown into the shrubs. Judging from the slender figure and messy hair, it appeared to be a girl.

“With this, even if someone were to notice her, they wouldn’t find out anything, right?”

“This is the Canopy Mountain Range and there is no lack of demonic beasts here. It’s hard to say if anything would be left from her corpse in the first place.”

“Sigh, Eldest Young Miss is really pitiful to have her corpse thrown like trash into the wilderness, just to become food for demonic beasts…”

“Hmph! She deserves it! Is the Crown Prince someone she can think of having?”

Suddenly, a gust of strong wind blew in the quiet forest. The leaves rustled and the quiet atmosphere was dyed with a hint of mystery.

“Eh? Why is the wind so strong all of a sudden?”

“Ahh! Look…” One of them cried out in surprise.

From the area where the corpse was laying on, sharp and tender green shoots were starting to sprout out. They then started to grow at a crazy rate that could be seen by the naked eye. Spring seemed to flourish upon the wilted trees, branches grew new shoots and flowers bloomed…

This strange phenomenon gave the two of them a fright and their countenances turned pale, their legs trembling.

“What… what is going on? T-This couldn’t be…”

“Let’s leave quickly. There’s something wrong with this place!” The other guy was so scared that he gulped a mouthful of saliva.

Just as the two of them were about to leave, they suddenly heard the cry from a female coming from behind them. The voice was faintly discernible yet especially clear.

“Mmm…”

Mu Qianyue’s head felt groggy and sharp pain came from all over her body. Her eyes trembled slightly as they fluttered open, and she saw branches covering up the sky, with faint traces of sunlight shining through the leaves and branches like stars.

She looked up and assessed the environment. There was nothing but densely-packed trees around her and she struggled to sit up. Her gaze was filled with perplexity.

What is this place?

“Ahh! Ghost… ghost…!” The two men who were about to leave saw the young lady, who should have been dead, suddenly sit up. They were so terrified that their faces had gone from red to a stark white in the blink of an eye as they cried out in horror.

“T-This is impossible! Could it be that she hasn’t died? Quickly, kill her! We mustn’t let her live!” The other guy who was a little braver quickly calmed down, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He drew out the long saber at his waist and slashed out at Mu Qianyue.

Only then did Mu Qianyue notice that there were two other men here. She looked up, squinting her eyes slightly. Traces of cold killing intent appeared in her pitch-black eyes.

Almost instinctively, she propped one hand against the ground and rapidly got up, bending her body slightly, looking like a leopard that would fly into a rage at any moment.

Leaping up and turning her head slightly, her fingers quickly locked onto that person’s throat and clenched tightly.

Crack!

The person fell and instantly became quiet.

After dealing with one guy, she looked up and sent her long leg sweeping out, kicking onto the other guy’s abdomen with extraordinary dexterity. Before he could get up, Mu Qianyue had already appeared in front of him.

She raised her leg and stomped down on the vital acupoint on his chest. Her actions were extremely skillful and flowed smoothly, as if she was performing a graceful dance.

“Pfft…” The guy spurted out a mouthful of blood, his face turned extremely pale, and horror filled up his eyes. “E-Eldest Young Miss, please spare my life! I have nothing to do with all of this… It was Second Young Miss! She was the one who told us to do all of this!”

Second Young Miss? Why did she not remember that there was a Second Young Miss at home?

Frowning, she tried to sort out her thoughts. She recalled that she had been researching a new type of medicine at home. Just as she was about to succeed, the medicine seemed to have exploded…

She didn’t remember anything after that.

Suddenly, unfamiliar memories rushed into her brain.

This was a world called the Heavenly Martial Continent, where Essence Energy flowed unhindered and where the strong were revered!

Mu Qianyue was the Eldest Young Miss of the Defender Marquis Manor. She had unparalleled beauty but was considered trash born with no martial soul and thus was unable to cultivate. In the entire Phoenix Shadow Nation, she was a joke, and was also the Crown Prince’s fiancée!

This time around, she had been egged on by Mu Yurou, the one referred to as the ‘Second Young Miss’, to come to the Canopy Mountain Range to catch a demonic beast as a birthday gift for the Crown Prince. However, the guards that she brought with her had all been bought over by Mu Yurou, and she was killed in this desolate place. To make matters worse, they had also set things up so it would look as if she had been killed by a demonic beast.

“Hmph, since you’ve already betrayed me, then is there still a need for you to live?” Crouching down, she reached out her hand to lock onto his throat. With a single clench of her fists, he took his last breath.

As the successor to a great family who was known for Huaxia’s ancient martial arts and medical skills, she was cold and brutal, decisive in dealing kills. She had connections to people on both sides of the law and no one dared to offend her.

Standing up, she patted off the dust on her hands and her lips curled up into a cold arch. “Mu Yurou? Very good! Just you wait!”

Mu Qianyue quickly accepted the fact that she had transmigrated. She just didn’t expect that this body shared the same exact name and even appearance as she did.

Could this be destined by fate?

She frowned and a viciousness flashed past her eyes. Before she could show any other reaction, she rolled on the ground and dodged to the side with astounding dexterity.

When she looked up, there was a figure in front of her. While tall and slender, she could not make out who it was as the person seemed to be enshrouded in darkness, even in the light of the day.

This person was wearing a silver-gray mask, exposing only a pair of long and narrow eyes that arched up at the end, looking nefarious and alluring. At the same time, the pitch-black pupils had a hint of something deep and mysterious, expressed in faint purple glow, making him seem even more unfathomable. It was as if one would drown in it with just one look. His black hair casually draped down behind his back and he emitted an arrogant and cold aura.

Mu Qianyue’s countenance changed. Her instincts screamed that this man was very strong! So strong that he wasn’t someone she could take on!

“Who are you?”

The man didn’t say a word but took a step forward and she felt a strange sense of suppression. This feeling was very uncomfortable and her feet backed away unconsciously.

At the same time, the man suddenly locked onto her wrist, moving so quickly that she couldn’t react in time.

Mu Qianyue was very surprised. He couldn’t be trying to silence her, could he?

“Hey, y-you… you… If you have something to say, then say it nicely. We’re civilized people and resorting to violence is immoral.”

He didn’t say anything but just grabbed onto her hand tightly, his deep and narrow eyes under the silver-gray mask squinting slightly, occasionally gleaming with a dangerous glow. Just as Mu Qianyue was thinking that the man was deaf or mute, he spoke up, “You undid the Heaven Connecting Tower’s seal?”

It was a cold and merciless voice, but to others, it was like being brushed by the spring wind, as if it was a song from the clouds.

This was preposterous!

“What Heaven Connecting Tower? What seal? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Hey, let go of me! Don’t think that just because you’re handsome, you can take liberties with a young girl from a good and decent family in broad daylight!” Mu Qianyue glared.

She had just transmigrated here and hadn’t grasped the situation here yet, but was now told that she had undone whatever Heaven Connecting Tower’s seal… Could it be that this body had some unspeakable secret?

The man’s eyes narrowed into a dangerous arch as he scrutinized Mu Qianyue from head to toe, as if wanting to penetrate a hole through her.

Although this young girl’s clothes were battered, her hair messy, and her face filled with bloodstains, her pitch-black eyes were bright like the stars in the sky, gleaming with a brilliant glow.

“I came late this time, causing you to almost lose your life. I’ll definitely not let something like this happen again in the future.” As the unknown man said that, he waved his hand and a silver ring suddenly appeared in his hand. It was unclear what material the ring was made of, but complicated prints were engraved on it. It was also embedded with a dark green crystal, looking very beautiful and exquisite.

Wow, was this some kind of a magic trick?
