Miraculous Princess's
Ch. 5 - The Poor Girl
Somewhere, a place that has not been explained. A girl whimpered, a cursory groan sounded like a sad ringing. The figure got up and looked around him, his dark bead was glistening at once as he glanced at the glimmer of light that slipped in between the gaps of the door.
His throat felt very dry when he wanted to say a word. The two disciples widened wide as they highlighted the pool of blood that was slowly drying up wetting the wooden floor he was treading on. Her tears burst out, flowing along the pieces of the image projected in her mind. His body shook violently.
It was hard for him to accept the whole thing that just happened last night. It was as if his life had ended that very night, the night where his entire family — teachers and brothers and sisters of his entire family — was brutally murdered. He could not help but immerse himself in tears.
If it were not for him, his brothers and sisters, his beloved teacher, even everyone who was in the same college with him would still be able to breathe to this day. If previously he was more enterprising in cultivating ...
He will be strong enough to protect them!
His feet were stifled as he stepped with an inexplicable look. The creaking of the wooden floor resounded with the sound of splashing from the blood pooling. Just before he fell into the puddle, his reflexes used qi to restore his balance.
He had managed to reach the realm of core formation before, but it was still not enough to deal with those people. Not enough to get revenge!
His chest felt tight at this moment, his head also felt very dizzy to the point that he could easily spit out his entrails to the point that he was exhausted. He looked up while holding his stomach. That blank gaze caught the red mist that was slowly billowing together and formed a faint shadow.
The shadow of a woman wearing a fiery red hanfu. Her shadow looked so real in the girl's eyes, that the only proof that she was not human was the red mist that kept following her. The woman smiled broadly as she looked at the girl who was staring blankly at her.
The girl had not yet reacted. Immediately, the woman appeared behind him while holding the girl's shoulder with a concerned look.
“Hey, are you feeling angry?”
Suddenly the woman took the girl's chin with a sly look. “Truly depressing. A useless human!”
Look at the girl's face. A face that looks desperate. His dark hair and eyes were fused with the darkness. The two disciples could only cast soulless gazes as they clashed at each other. But if Rong Muxiu was here he would definitely be surprised.
“Do you know why they all end up in pools of blood like this? Wh why? Yes, it's because of your existence. Your existence corrupted them all, your mistake from the beginning was your birth that harmed others! You're also harming your biological family, so they'd rather throw you out.”The proud voice resounded as he spread his hands with his chin raised.
“This goddess is the hatred that they have harbored for you for so long, the form that is an expression of their hatred for you! Since long ago, the closest college-brother to you, Yang Jian, he was the most talented disciple. Until when your teacher brought you here.“
“For you are like the sun shining among the stars. He feels envious of you, that's why he wants to befriend you and hinder your cultivation level! By continuing to invite you to interact with him even though he does not want it.” The woman then laughed out loud.
“This is really a lolucon! Those people are hunting you! Then they don't want to give you to those people. But don't be happy just yet! That they do to keep you that they claim as their treasure.”
“But. This goddess will give you help, because you look so pathetic.” The girl regained her senses and shifted her brain work to look at the woman.
“Hey, a-can you help me to .. finish them?” The girl's hoarse voice rang out among the dark room.
“Of course,”
“B-how? Can you .. do it? Proving your strength?” A bright look he threw at the woman.
“This goddess will prove to you her true strength if you accept the terms to be granted.”
“I will do anything! If necessary, I will sacrifice my soul to avenge this!”
“It is not required. You don't have to sacrifice yourself, you just need to be a container for the soul of this Goddess for a while until this Goddess finds what she's looking for.” The girl frowned with a confused look.
“Why?” The woman looked back at him.
“I .. just feel a little weird. Why do you want to occupy my body for a while?”
“It's not your business. Because your superior constitution is more than enough to meet the requirements.”
The girl scratched her cheeks awkwardly, “Not that, I just thought why you only occupied my body for a while. Why not forever? I guess you are the form of hatred they have for me.”
“A very desperate revenge. Though they don't like you at all and don't consider yourself to be one of them.”
“I don't really care.” The girl lowered her head with a bead that slowly dimmed. “As long as they are kind to me, shouldn't I as a human being repay that kindness? And do I have to trust you — figures I just met — instead of those who have lived 7 years with me?”
The woman smiled, “Interesting,”
“It turns out you are a good person, yes.” A gentle smile was revealed at both corners of her pink lips. But those words were not heard by the woman.
“Listen to your soul, that way you will know how your revenge will begin.” The girl was startled for a moment as she watched the fog slowly disappear.
“Conscious! If this Goddess stays longer, then the soul of this Goddess will fuse with the charm installed by your college. You need to find that thing as soon as possible.”
The voice sounded loud in his mind. He looked here and there to find the source.
Suddenly his head became empty. His feet move forward. He did not know where he was headed, his body moving without command. He lost consciousness completely.
When he came to, he was somewhere bright. Filled with colorful crystals. The girl didn't know what to do. He recalled the message given by the woman with the red hanfu.
Close your eyes.
Listen to your soul ...
That way you'll know how your revenge started?
Listen to your soul ...
That way you'll know what you want.
Suddenly, the place was filled with shrill sounds. The crystals vibrate against each other. The girl also suspected that the vibration was ‘ who had produced the shrill sound. But when it entered his ear the voice was unable to break his eardrum, for some reason, the voice was neutralized.
“Forward, and give to that thing a drop of your blood,”
Apparently there was a lump of red crystal that was the same color as the blood that had dried up. He stepped forward. Then biting hard on his right index finger to bleed. When the crystal chunk touched his finger. The chunk is shining brightly. Brighter than any other light.
Like a greedy living creature, the crystal chunk sucked the girl's blood. Until he finally fainted.
“Deal successfully,”
The red mist carried the girl's body floating in the air. And then disappear instantly.
The light of the moon in front of the bed,
Like dew in the court.
Looking up at the full moon,
Reminded of the hometown.
