1 The Unfortunate Prince...

"I'm sorry prince, but I'll be taking the throne for myself, as well as your wife, hahaha!" The haughty and arrogant laughter of the 2nd prince sounded as he pointed a shining blade at the neck of the 1st prince. The 1st prince, who was originally the crown prince was ambushed by over 1,000 soldiers and forced to forfeit the throne. Little did he know, his wife played a significant part in this entire fiasco as she was the one who orchestrated most of it.

"How could you! I worked hard for the throne yet you took it from beneath me, why?! Even my wife was a part of such heinous acts?!" The 1st prince shouted angrily at the 2nd prince. He was confused and furious, he couldn't wrap his head around how and why such a kind-hearted younger brother like the 2nd prince because so vicious.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it. I'll take good care of the empire for you big brother. You'd best be on your way now, hahaha..." The 2nd prince said while laughing as he swung the word without the slightest bit of hesitation.

"Zaiandral, you ba-" The 1st prince was beheaded in front of the entire empire...

"-stard! Huh? I'm alive?" Arthur said as he looked at his strangely fragile and pretty-looking hands. He also noticed that his back was in pain so he looked down and instantly noticed two big pairs of breasts covered in a black and red robe that gave off an eerie aura.

"This isn't my body...In fact, I'm not even a male." Arthur wasn't as shocked by this as anybody else was due to the fact that despite there were kingdoms and empires in his world, it was extremely technologically advanced. Back when he was only 60 years old, he switched multiple bodies for the next 230 years until he finally created a nanobot-based body that would repair itself every 35 years.

"I'm definitely not in my world, and that bastard Zaiandral...I can't believe I took him as my younger brother! Who knew he would betray me!" Arthur said as a strange dark-red and glowing energy manifested around his arms. It gave off a weak yet terrifying aura that caught Arthur's attention.

"Qi? Back in my world only a few outstanding people could use this energy! To think I'd be able to use it in this body!" Arthur's expression brightened a little as a see-through screen appeared before him.

Arthur's pupils contracted as she noticed a strange symbol next to her luck attribute.

"Infinity? I must be hallucinating or something, right? What does infinite luck even mean? Will I just be showered with prosperity or something?" Arthur's body trembled slightly as he heard 2 pairs of footsteps nearby. He looked out of the small house that he was in.

He saw the figures of a middle-aged-looking man and a little boy who looked to be 5 years old running towards him with desperate and terrified looks on their faces.

Just as he saw the two figures, he felt that they looked oddly familiar and without a moment's notice, his mind was flooded with the memories of the previous owner of the body.

"M-Miss Xiang Xiang, please help us!" The two people said in unison.

'So this body's name is Xiang Xiang? I guess I'll keep the name just for convenience...'

"What's the matter." Xiang Xiang said with narrowed eyes and a cold glare that'd send shivers up anyone's spine.

"M-Miss Xiang Xiang, one of the bandit counsel leaders has appeared and claimed he will become unrivaled in the world. He's killing tons of villagers!" The middle-aged man said. The little boy nodded after every word the man said, as if affirming it was true.

"I'll go take care of it." Xiang Xiang said as she got up and walked out of the shabby house. She looked back at it for a moment before rushing off into the distance. Currently, her house was built atop a very small hill that the villagers would need to walk up three long paths to get to.

Xiang Xiang was testing her speed as she ran and quickly adapted to it.

'Ultimate treasure huh? Let's see if Yi Ning is telling the truth or he's just gone crazy for some reason.' Xiang Xiang thought to herself, she was talking about the so-called bandit counsel leader.

It didn't take long to get to the edge of the village thanks to Xiang Xiang's immense speed and she was greeted with the sight of another middle-aged man wreaking havoc amongst the villagers like a wild beast. She immediately noticed a strange red Qi enveloping Yi Ning's arms as he threw punches left and right at the houses and villagers in his vicinity.

Yi Ning had short brown hair with a few scars on his face and was wearing a grey and white robe. He had robust and vigorous-looking muscles despite being past his prime age.

Some villagers were huddled up in their homes as Yi Ning created giant holes in them with one hit while other villagers ran away from Yi Ning out of fear. Most of them met the same cruel fate, death.

'This guy, he shouldn't have been so strong before...Although I don't really know the power scale of this world, according to these memories, he was definitely as weak as a normal human right?' Xiang Xiang thought to herself as she approached him quickly.

"Yi Ning, what business do you have in this village. Don't you know I'm here?" She said as she used the Evil Qi Manifestation Technique and strange dark-red energy appeared and swirled around her palm as she took a battle stance. Xiang Xiang wasn't afraid of Yi Ning despite his sudden power boost because he had no experience in proper fighting at all so he was just recklessly attacking.

"Hahaha! All I did was cultivate for a week with this miracle plant yet I'm already this strong?! Xiang Xiang, you're nothing before my great power now!" Yi Ning said as he jumped towards Xiang Xiang with his right palm towards her. The red energy swirled intensely around his arm as it reached his hand and condensed.

"Take my attack!" Yi Ning said as the red energy spread over his entire hand, he tried to do a palm attack.

"Hmph." Xiang Xiang already expected Yi Ning to launch such a foolish attack despite having so much power so she easily avoided it and used the Evil Qi to envelop her right hand as she threw a punch at Yi Ning's abdomen just as he landed on the ground.

"Too simple." Yi Ning's body flew into the wall of a house like a piece of paper being thrown into the trash.

Not the least bit of resistance.

Yi Ning didn't expect such an outcome during their exchange and immediately became enraged as he spoke.

"You b*tch! Bow down to me and I'll spare your life!" Yi Ning rushed full speed at Xiang Xiang, jumped over the well in between the houses, and dashed towards Xiang Xiang.

She didn't expect Yi Ning to take such a route to attack her but it wasn't anything she had trouble defending against or avoiding. Xiang Xiang condensed Evil Qi on her feet as she dashed past Yi Ning with incredible speed and kicking him in the back. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as he spit a mouthful of spit and crashed into another wall.

"Take this attack if you're a man! Hmph!" Xiang Xiang said as Evil Qi manifested on her palms and she attacked Yi Ning's staggering body. He wasn't ready for such a sudden counterattack so he wasn't fast enough to defend against it. By the time he formed a blocking motion with his arms, Xiang Xiang's palm had already impacted his chest and he flew through the wall of the house.

"Argh! Damnit!" Yi Ning struggled to stand back up as red energy, similar to Xiang Xiang's Evil Qi enveloped his entire arms and he rushed at her. He threw multiple punches at Xiang Xiang, overwhelming her for a moment.

'He really gained such power from a miracle plant after only cultivating for a week?' Despite being pushed back slightly by Yi Ning's attacks, Xiang Xiang was becoming more excited while thinking about what would happen when she got ahold of such an amazing treasure.

'Come to papa!' She thought as she ducked under Yi Ning's onslaught and hit him in the abdomen with another palm attack. She condensed a lot of Evil Qi into this attack so Yi Ning spits a mouthful of blood as he flew to the ground.

"I won't give you the time to get back up." Xiang Xiang said as she finally put an end to the battle. She used the Bloodline Severing Technique and Soul-Reaping Technique on Yi Ning at the same time, grabbing him and pulling out a glowing white line from the base of his spine to the end of it. It had a few light red spots on it, though they were almost unnoticeable to the eye of a mortal.

Yi Ning screamed in agony as he felt immense pain coming from his back. His eyes rolled back and he felt a sense of abandonment as if he was given away by his parents. He felt like an outcast to the rest of the human race, and not long after, his soul was cruelly torn from his body as he stopped moving and the red energy dissipated.

"I wonder what type of miracle treasure could turn Yi Ning crazy like that!"
