Chapter 3: The Prime Minister's Legitimate Daughter

Pain, a pain like countless tiny, sharp needles fiercely stabbing into every one of your pores, and like something tearing at your nerves, then forcibly stuffing memories into you against your will, surging over you like a tidal wave, overwhelming and all-encompassing...

Feng Moxi opened her heavy eyelids. A pair of purple phoenix eyes, weary yet incredibly sharp, surveyed her surroundings as she propped up her agonizingly painful body to sit.

She hadn't died! And she had soul-transmigrated into the body of the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s estate in the Zixiao Kingdom on the Fengluo Continent! She could be certain that this continent did not exist in history!

She, the dignified genius Poison King of the 21st century, had actually ended up in such a situation.

Rubbing her aching temples, Feng Moxi stood up. This place appeared to be the bottom of a cliff, and this unlucky young lady of the Prime Minister’s estate—who had the title of a legitimate daughter but none of the status—coincidentally shared the exact same name as her!

Heh, to think that despite being the legitimate daughter, she was bullied to such an extent by the concubine-born daughters of the estate that she was pushed off a cliff and lost her life, allowing her soul to take over.

Looking at the wretched scars on her body, her plain dress had been shredded by sharp stones during her fall, and her dark hair was matted with dirt; she looked even worse than a beggar! Truly pitiful.

But here is the point... In her past life, she was accustomed to being cold-hearted and detached. Since she had transmigrated here, there must be a reason for it, but she wouldn't be bored or foolish enough to seek revenge for the original owner of this body.

Since this life had allowed her, Feng Moxi, to be human once again, she would live well—more brilliantly than in her past life. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them; if people offend me, I will cut them off at the roots!

Waves of throbbing pain came from her mind, making Feng Moxi somewhat impatient, but she decided to ignore it.

For now... she should first find a way back... The identity of a legitimate daughter was a decent resource; how could she not make good use of it?

Who knew that after only a few steps, she would start panting? The physical condition of this body was truly abysmal! If this continued, she wouldn't die from the pain of her injuries, but from exhaustion!

Feng Moxi stopped and decided not to walk anymore. Since she wouldn't be able to get out for a while anyway, she started a fire on the spot and went into the forest to find food.

"Damn it!" she cursed under her breath. No matter what, she had to train this body's physical condition. As it was, it couldn't even compare to a single finger of her past self!

After finally catching a rabbit, Feng Moxi was cleaning its innards by the river when she suddenly had a whim to look at the face of this body in the water.

One look and she was stunned. Good heavens, rouge was smeared all over her face as if it were free, making her look like a madam from a brothel. Was a girl in her prime out of her mind to dress herself like this?

Feng Moxi, who had a severe case of mysophobia, couldn't stand it. She tossed the rabbit aside and plunged her entire face into the water, scrubbing vigorously with her small hands. Damn it, it was hideous! What kind of taste was that!

Suddenly, something pushed her from behind, and she fell into the river, caught off guard.

"Damn it!" Even with her composure, she couldn't help but swear.

Climbing up from the riverbank in a disheveled state, she spat out some water and looked at where she had just been standing. She had expected a person, but who knew it was actually a small beast!

It was a small beast with fur as white as snow, not a speck of dust on it. She couldn't tell what species it was. At this moment, it was staring right at her, its eyes like two black grapes. On its forehead was a complex pattern that seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Its two furry, pointed ears twitched, and its tail was striped black and white—incredibly beautiful!

Feng Moxi narrowed her purple eyes. To hell with it, she actually saw human-like emotions of excitement and joy in the eyes of this small beast.
