CHAPTER TWO

"Wait," realising something, Jiang Ying Yue ruthlessly slapped the cat onto the ground.

"What are you doing?!" the tubby spattered out the sand before angrily leaping off the dirt, wanting to fight against Jiang Ying Yue.

Seeing the angry feline, she knocked the top of its head heartlessly, "that's what I want to ask you! If you can come out, then why didn't you come out earlier?"

The tubby looked away, patting its messy fur with its paws while mumbling, "who wants to come out earlier? To become the scorpion's next meal?" (ΦзΦ)

Jiang Ying Yue bared her teeth as she mockingly looked at it, "with the size of you, I think you'd make a pretty tasty meal. Come let me boil you to taste!"

The cat yelped as it dodged the ruthless hands that came over to grab it, "help, there's a cat molester here!" (ↀДↀ)⁼³₌₃

Rolling her eyes, she didn't take notice of the unreliable ball of fur before mulling over the information relating to the previous body's host.

The previous owner was called Luo Li; she was the younger twin sister of the woman who had schemed against her to be abandoned in the middle of the desert.

Her elder sister Luo Qiu was a talented evolved human known as Tuibian, the race after the deadly Apocolypse that invaded Earth.

Luo Qiu was a beautiful woman with deep blue eyes and lush black hair; a charming and charismatic personality, she was highly popular in their clan.

Due to manipulating poison roses and controlling a herd of poisonous butterflies, she was nicknamed Poison Monarch.

Meanwhile, her gloomy and dull younger sister Luo Li was dispised in their clan, not to mention she was a none-ability user she was also anti-social with a blue aura surrounding her.

Jiang Ying Yue rubbed her chin as she skimmed through the history of the two sisters and couldn't help but mutter, "what a bitch."

Let's not mention how this Luo Qiu had always trampled over her younger sister's self-esteem since young, but the friends that Luo Li used to be friends with would always leave her for her elder sister.

When they were younger, although Luo Li was quiet and anti-social, she was more beautiful than others, causing people to think she's just shy and wanting to befriend her.

Without a doubt, the scum Luo Qiu with her vicious heart was jealous and schemed to make Luo Li's friends leave her.

Her school life was like Hell towards the young girl, and with several attempted suicide, her parents, who deemed her a problematic child, finally abandoned and neglected her at the age of just ten.

Having been betrayed by close ones repeatedly, being knocked down constantly and having her self-worth and esteem trodden on by the one who's supposed to be the closest to her, it's no wonder Luo Li grew up into such a gloomy person.

And after the apocalypse, her life became even worse; having been used as a shield by her older sister multiple times, Jiang Ying Yue honestly wanted to puke blood for this dog-shit drama.

Abused and neglected, the poor thing couldn't even have a proper childhood, and just as she was having enough of everything and planning to escape from her older sister's grasp, she was labelled as a spy and was sent to death by the hands of her elder sister.

Tragic. Too tragic! Even though the cultivation world was filled with bloodshed, schemes, and fights over resources, it was still upsetting to see this young girl's sad fate!

She hadn't even reached eighteen yet, and she was already forced to death.

Jiang Ying Yue felt angry with pent up frustration for the dead child; if it was her, she'd already grabbed that razer and slit the three scum Luo's throat.

No... murder is terrible; stop it, Jiang Ying Yue.

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Jiang Ying Yue clicked her tongue before she looked over at the cat that was lazily lying down and tapping away at the near-transparent screen, "say, what does my current face look like?"

She gently stroked the matt and dry skin on her face and couldn't help but worry for her future beauty. The tubby looked over, snorted before commenting, "ugly."

ଲ( ⓛ ω ⓛ *)ଲ

Generously it threw a small round mirror to Jiang Ying Yue, who nearly threw the mirror back at the cat's face after seeing her current horrifying one.

Dry and flaky skin, lifeless and dull straw-like hair, hollow and sunken cheeks and eye socket.

She opened her mouth and inspected her yellow teeth; luckily, they're all still there else, she would've just got up and left.

Jiang Ying Yue looked down at her slightly yellow and brittle nails and her skinny limbs. Her body was only pathetically covered in an old and dirty white dress with several patches.

In general, Jiang Ying Yue, constantly surrounded by healthy and beautiful cultivators, was scared stiff from her current features.

So ugly! ('༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`)

Grabbing her hair in frustration only to yelp in pain, Jiang Ying Yue cried, "the Heaven's are playing with me!" Then, she angrily pointed at the cat that was licking its paws while eating a packing of cat snacks, "you lot are ganging up on me, right?!"

The tubby rolled its eyes before clicking on the recent intergalactic news, "you wish, everyone's busy. When would we have the time?"

"How am I supposed to fix this mess?" Jiang Ying Yue pointed to her own ghost-like face before looking up at the sky and angrily flipping the bird.

*&^# you all! εε——-ヽ(*｀Д')ﾉ

Instantly lightning struck scarily close to her, causing Jiang Ying Yue to honestly put down her hand and bow in apologies to the Gods above.

Look at that smelly attitude! ✧(🝦言🝦╬)

The cat glanced at her and pondered for a few minutes before suggesting, "I heard that the immortal soul protection insurance scheme has a virtual shop which links the mortal worlds, Heaven and the Underworld. You can probably find something there to fix your appearance."

Hearing this, the two pair of dull eyes slightly gave off a glow, "tell me how."

The tubby rolled its eyes, "if I'm not wrong, you have to be ranked 5 before you can even open that feature."

Remembering her stats, Jiang Ying Yue howled internally; she was only rank 1! "How do I rank up?!"

If she doesn't fix her appearance soon, she will become depressed. She hasn't become an official immortal yet; what would happen if the fairies up there mock her for her horrifying appearance?!

The tubby didn't seem to realise her worries as it rolled its head back in the air, doing a simple daily exercise "by doing missions issued by the insurance scheme."

As if hearing it, the insurance system issued a mission. Jiang Ying Yue blinked in wonder if she had read the phrase correctly.

[To our precious customer, please collect 10 Giant' Black Desert Snake's' heads. Reward: Unknown]

Mhm. ε-('・｀)

Jiang Ying Yue closed and open her eyes again.

She must've read it wrong.

However, seeing the identical sentence again, Jiang Ying Yue reached out and punched the near-transparent screen angrily.

TM, how was a malnourished, trashed person like her supposed to go out and cut off a giant snake's head?!

She couldn't even deal with one giant scorpion; what do you mean by sending her to cut off some reptiles head?!

And what's with the 'unknown' reward status? Were they thinking of taking her as a joke? Was this what it was?!

Angrily flipping the bird again to the sky, Jiang Ying Yue was ruthlessly struck down by lightning the next second.

TM (also written TMD) is short for 他/她媽的, literally ('his/her mother's'), equivalent to English motherf*****g.
