18 Descent of a True Phoenix
The cherry blossoms glittered splendidly as the sun setson the horizon.
Under the bright sunlight, the bright red cherry blossoms flourished with an enchanting allure, making the country-styled courtyard shone with the cleanliness and beauty of the nature.
"Hong."
An explosion suddenly resounded.
The cherry blossoms scattered in the wind as dust filled the air. Such a big courtyard was suddenly pounded into dust.
There was a deathly silence.
"Beautiful."
A blond man looked at the remains of the courtyard and looked towards the black-haired man beside him. Giving him a thumbs up, his other hand fiddled with an AK47.
"Of course."
The black haired man replied as he lifted a dangerous looking missile launcher in his arms.
"Japan's Lin Tang Group's Residence consisting of 311 people have all been assassinated."
A red haired man walked towards them with a cold look on his face. His body was drenched in blood.
"Boss, mission accomplished."
An oriental looking man with the latest model of an assault rifle made in America on his shoulders walked out from the clouds of smoke, his body full of the smell of death. Standing beside the black haired man, he folded his arms as he reported to a woman in front of him.
Her long and lustrous green hair swayed in the midst of the cherry blossoms, an air of killing intent engulfing her body.
Under the setting sun, her eyes shone with the luster of moonlight. Her pupils had such an abyss like darkness that others won't be able to bear maintaining an eye-contact with her.
Cherry lips, oval face and white cheeks, only "beautiful" can describe everything about her.
The only woman amongst the six of them, Lin, was the boss of the Dragon Riders Mercenary, the number one assassination organisation in the world.
Now she was listening quietly with her eyebrows raised loftily. She carried with her an air of arrogance and confidence that she was better than the rest. Then, she waved her hand and said, "Let's go." as she turned around and walked away.
From afar, police sirens could be faintly heard.
The four people promptly followed behind, calmly and leisurely. Such an attitude really reflected on how they looked down upon everyone in the world.
A black SUV quickly came and stopped in front of them. As the door opened, a blond-haired man chuckled, "Boss, you really live up to your name. The more missions you do, the more beautifully executed it becomes. You even calculated the time so perfectly."
"Stop talking nonsense, haven't you seen what a great person our boss is?"
The black-haired man carrying the missile launcher commented, his eyes shone with respect.
Listening to their speech, Lin only smiled arrogantly. As the head of the number one assassination group Dragon Riders, executing her mission perfectly without any trace and annihilating the Lin Tang's japanese group, was simply child's play for her.
Striding forward, Lin stepped into the car.
As she climbed in, her leg suddenly slipped and her head slammed onto the car's door.
Lin frowned as her body suddenly refused to follow her orders. Slamming straight onto the car's door, her head felt dizzy and her breath tightened.
Everything happened in an instant. As her consciousness faded, Lin faintly felt like crying and laughing at the same time. As the head of the number one mercenary group, she actually died in front of her own car. This was such a big joke, a joke that would last throughout the mercenary industry history.
Knowing she wasn't long for this world she found solace in knowing at least she didn't die but something like her own hand grenade...like some other poor soul she heard about for that kind of death is really shameful...At the very least with this should could maybe say it was by the hand of a traitor...
"Truly too shameful....too shameful.."
As what was left of her started to fade she begin to see fuzzy pink shapes.
"....These....these are...flower petals?"
However as she grew closer another light appear far stronger and brighter pulling her in and making what appeared to be those flower petals no cherry blossoms her body broke down and only her soul was left naked and defenseless yet those fuzzy pink petals went into her soul nourishing and making her once white soul pink in color with a hint of golden chaos...
And the world resumed turning as the cherry blossoms flew in the wind.
*************************************************************
The sun shone brightly in the blue sky, amongst the white clouds.
This is an unknown world.
At the most secluded courtyard in the corner of a grand mansion, the body of ##### who had died due to unknown to means unforetold to anyone, suddenly had her eyes opened. Her eyes was sharp and strong, emitting an astonishing amount of killing intent, replacing her previously gentle and kind eyes.
Lin, no, ##### quietly observed the interior of the well kept and beautiful room, and then looked down at herself and her body.
#######, the Great ####### emperor only daughter of the ###### Nation.
Due to her weak nature, As the seventh child and only daughter of the Emperor she has very little political power. She had far too much gentleness and kindness. She was so kind to any and everyone, never possessed a conceited attitude, and would never look down upon or discriminate against any single person. When seeing others in trouble, her first thoughts would be to help them...Thus making it easy for others to walk all over her.
And as far as she could see though not as good looking as her old body, her new body looks were beautiful enough to make one's heart tremble, a pair of beautiful sparkling eyes; gaze as soft as water, not containing even the slightest hint of arrogance. Her cherry colored lips have the luster of a smooth seashell. Her elegant eyebrows are crescent shaped with a beautiful pitch-black hair.
As a matter of fact, according to the body's memories, She grew up as the only Princess of the ######. Her mother's surname was "Lan" and she passed away when the princess was fourteen.
After her father, the emperor, fell ill her royal brothers started to contest for the throne. She only wanted to protect her family and protect her father.
And just a few days ago, there were talks on a force marriage. Thus she made plans to leave the royal palace in order to escape the attention of some idiot Fen, the young master of the Burning something Clan, who was obsessed with her and wanted to marry her.
Even though she was of royalty the young 16 year old body didn't grow well as her food was reduced every single year....out of depression and loneliness..from still mourning the loss of her mother...Had made just let a simple injury driven her to her death however she felt there was more to the show than it seem as if someone wanted to kill her....And now finally when she woke up again, she had already become ####, the former number one assassin in her world.
Closing her eyes, she calmly accepted the original little princess memories, her gaze sweeping across the empty room.
Her previous self's training had trained her expressions to not twitch even when mountains crumble right in front of her. Her previous self had already died, and the current her was alive. It was simply a matter of living in a different world, even though it sounded complicated, it was actually very simple. Since she could be reborn, what she needed wasn't shrinking back and cowering over the unknown, but living life to the fullest.
Since God or some other force at hand had given her a chance to start over, then she would display her splendor all over again, which is also ###### new found pride as a Heavenly Phoenix which was far more noble and profound than the mythical bird..
Taking a deep breath, she…was not ### anymore. She wasn't that number one assassin. She's was a princess of the royal family that was an eyesore to everyone...
She pinched her body. That body was very skinny but had strong bones. Her body should be able to endure training, so she didn't understand why how she could have died so easily.
Walking towards a simple copper mirror, the new young lady looked at the person in the mirror. Slowly, a face so beautiful that could make any young heart tremble appeared, a pair of beautiful sparkling eyes...dark yet seem to contain the life of her old eyes; her gaze was no longer as soft as water, arrogance could be felt in every breath she took.
Her cherry colored lips had a hint of poison to them now. Her elegant eyebrows are crescent shaped with a beautiful pitch-black hair. However as she looked closely at her hair it seem to be hiding a hint of green as if it were to become like her old hair color.
She wriggled her eyebrows and was silent for a little while.
She observed her reflection closely in the bronze mirror. Not right, she thought, she was changing her expressions but the reflection of her face had remained stationary. There was something on her face...it seem to be a cherry blossom..and something else...
Eyebrows still frowning, she turned her body and exited the old house.
