Chapter 2: Rebirth

Huan Yao struggled to turn over, relying solely on her intense intuition for danger to evade that perilous strike. In the next second, her spiritual power had already flown from her hands...

"Ah..." A woman's scream rang out.

Huan Yao snapped her eyes open, only to find herself lying on a bustling street, with an arrogant young girl dressed in a pale purple cloud-gathering skirt standing before her.

Her last memory was of Yun Juechen striking her with the spiritual power from his palm. That bone-deep pain was still coursing through her body, yet upon opening her eyes, she had arrived in this strange place and met a stranger!

"Red Rank, Third Stage!" A horrified cry erupted from the crowd gathered on the street.

"How could this waste be at Red Rank, Third Stage? She doesn't even have the foundation to cultivate spiritual power!" Hua Yingrong clutched her left shoulder, which had been injured by Huan Yao. Bright blood gushed from between her fair fingers, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

No sooner had she spoken than Hua Yingrong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her originally rosy complexion instantly turned as pale as snow, and her body swayed like a willow branch in the wind before crashing to the ground, unconscious.

"You waste, you actually injured Fourth Sister!" Seeing Hua Yingrong suddenly collapse, a flash of ruthlessness surged through Hua Linghuai's startled eyes.

Lying on the ground, Huan Yao narrowed her eyes, feeling extremely impatient. Killing intent spread from the corners of her pale lips: "Get lost."

Her heavy head felt like a floodgate had opened; the original memories of this body came rushing toward her in a torrent.

It turned out that Yun Juechen's single palm strike had actually sent her soul into another person's body.

Hua Jinse, the legitimate daughter of the Protector Duke of the Xiyao Kingdom. On the day of her birth, her spiritual talent test result was fifty, and overnight, she had climbed onto Xiyao Kingdom's most prestigious First Spiritual Power Ranking.

At the age of five, she was betrothed to Rong Jin, the son of the Prime Minister, who was hailed as one of the six great prodigy youths of the Xiyao Kingdom.

Before the age of ten, Hua Jinse could be said to have been the most pampered person in the entire Hua Estate.

Then, Hua Jinse quickly fell from the clouds into a mud pit.

Her spiritual power test at age ten resulted in a zero. In the subsequent spiritual power competition, Hua Jinse was beaten by her concubine-born sister, Hua Linghuai, so badly that she remained bedridden for half a year.

At age twelve, she underwent another spiritual power test, and the result was still zero.

That very night, Prime Minister Rong petitioned for an imperial decree to break the engagement with Hua Jinse.

Duke Hua also directly abandoned Hua Jinse because of this, moving her from the grand manor into a small courtyard.

Even so, Hua Jinse remained a troublemaker. Her arrogant, haughty, and condescending personality showed no signs of tempering; instead, she fell in love with the number one handsome man in the Xiyao Kingdom, the Northern Ming King, one of the four Great Underworld Kings of the Imperial Family.

What followed was a grand spectacle of pursuit, love, entanglement, and messy brawls, which not only caused Hua Jinse to lose all face for the Duke's manor but also drew the ridicule of the world, making her the subject of everyone's idle gossip.

And all of this came to a definitive end two years later, following the accidental disappearance of Hua Feiyue, the only brother in the Hua Estate who doted on Hua Jinse.

Those who had been bullied or offended by Hua Jinse previously came knocking on her door all at once overnight.

Without the protection of her brother, Hua Feiyue, who was also hailed as one of the six great prodigy youths of the Xiyao Kingdom...

In this Cangqing Continent, where spiritual cultivation was supreme and the strong preyed upon the weak, Hua Jinse was undoubtedly the greatest lifelong stain of the Hua Estate, and even more so, the most useless, incompetent fool in the world—even a dog could bully her.

For a time, Hua Jinse was like a rat that everyone wanted to beat; wherever she went, she would encounter old enemies.

That Hua Jinse could have managed to survive until now was considered a miracle.

Huan Yao's pitch-black gaze sharpened slightly. A woman who was this arrogant and conceited, who refused to restrain herself, and who possessed zero spiritual power in the cultivation-supremacy of the Cangqing Continent, truly deserved to die!

But the owner of this body was named Huan Yao, a genius young girl personally trained by the leader of the number one Demonic Sect in the Cangqing Continent!

If anyone dared to bully her, she would return it tenfold.
