She has come a long way. Orphaned, born a weakling, and being the infamous good-for-nothing of Azure Dragon Country. Gu Ruoyun was the shame of the proud Gu household. Falsely accused of a crime she did not commit, she was betrayed by her family and beaten to death by her own grandfather. But life took a fateful twist on that very day — she was revived. Newly awakened, she is now the Master of an ancient treasure that resides within her body. Precious cultivation pills, treasures beyond her wildest imagination and spiritual beasts, all within her grasp... She is the apple of the eye of all under the heavens, including that of a mysterious, handsome man. Now she only has one goal — to conquer the world.
West Spirit Mainland, Azure Dragon Country.
In the backyard of the general’s quarters, a young lady sat cross-legged slovenly on the bed with a straw in her mouth.
"West Spirit Mainland?"
As if talking to herself, Xia Ruoyun’s lips curved upwards at a mild angle.
"It seems that I have reincarnated from East Peak Mainland to West Spirit Mainland. Maybe even the gods can’t stand Xiaming’s actions and gave me another chance at life?"
This world was made up of countless mainlands after all.
What she did not expect was, compared to her original talent, this Gu Ruoyun was a complete good-for-nothing! She was already fifteen years old, but she hadn’t even reached the third level of Qi collection.
Even the slaves in the general’s quarters were level four and above.
Of course, Gu Ruoyun was also extremely miserable. She had lost her parents since she was young and she was a negligible existence to the people around her. If it weren’t for her elder prodigy brother’s protection, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.
But her brother was accepted as a disciple by a force not long ago and he had to leave Azure Dragon Country.
Who’d have expected that shortly after he left, the Young Master of the Ling family had insulted him on purpose in front of Gu Ruoyun? To defend her brother, Gu Ruoyun had fought with the Young Master of the Ling family, but she was beaten half to death by the slaves of the Ling family.
The funny thing was that her own grandfather, the great general of the general’s quarters, had beaten her to death without even thinking.
When she thought of this, a sneer appeared on Gu Ruoyun’s lips. "Gu Ruoyun, since I have taken over your body, then I am you! Don’t worry, I will help you get your revenge. Just take it as a reward for letting me occupy your body.
While she was saying this, the door opened. When the person who pushed open the door met Gu Ruoyun’s dark black eyes, she was clearly shocked.
"Gu Ruoyun, you’re still alive?"
This Gu Ruoyun is really something, being able to survive even after a beating like that from Grandfather!
"That’s right. Did you wish I were dead?"
Gu Ruoyun slightly curved her lips, looking at her with a spurious smile.
"Hng!" Gu Panpan snorted. "Since you’re not dead, then go to the living room. Grandpa is waiting for you."
When she finished, she turned and left without looking back.
Gu Ruoyun squinted her eyes slightly. From her memory, she recognized this Gu Panpan as her second uncle’s daughter. She had always been a proud girl and her elder brother Gu Xianglin was a prodigy, only second to brother Gu Shengxiao in the entire general’s quarters. So, to help her brother Gu Xianglin vent, she had always bullied Gu Ruoyun when Gu Shengxiao wasn’t around.
Gu Ruoyun didn’t tell her brother about this so he wouldn’t worry.
In the living room.
Gu Ruoyun had just entered and saw Old General Gu sitting on the high seat. Seated in his lower right was an elderly and a youth. She did not have to guess to know that the elderly was the head of the Ling family, Ling Yi. As for the youth, it was the culprit who caused her to be beaten to death, the Young Master of Ling family.
"Gu Ruoyun, you’re finally awake!"
Old General Gu’s sword-like gaze was projected onto Gu Ruoyun. He said with a stern face, "You had the gall to bully and beat the Young Master of the Ling family in broad daylight. Hurry and apologize now!"
There was a royal concubine at the palace from the Ling family, and she was a person he could never cross. If it pleased the Ling family, so what if they sacrificed a good-for-nothing? What he didn’t expect was his timid granddaughter to have such courage!
Alas, she was only a good-for-nothing. If she was a prodigy like her brother, then even the imperial concubine empress wouldn’t dare to touch her.
