墨書 Inktalez
In the vast expanse of the Azure Xuan Continent, the Donghua Kingdom stands tall with its ancient charm spanning a millennium. Ye City, a place where prosperity intertwines with mystery, lies just twenty miles from the Beast Forest, which is currently shrouded in an unusual haze.
"Damn it! Why is this world so unfair!"
"A gentleman can endure, but how much can one bear!"
"Heaven! You are playing tricks on me!"
In the forest, a figure resembling an angry little beast, entirely black as coal, leaps vigorously, hands on hips, venting her frustrations at the gray sky above.
"I, Yun Jiu, have struggled through modern society, rising from a humble beggar to a top-notch agent feared by many. Just when I finally broke free from my shackles and was ready to soar high and enjoy the thrill of freedom, how could a bolt of lightning drag me into this abyss of another world without warning!"
Her words were laced with endless bitterness and self-mockery, each syllable seeming to squeeze out blood and tears from her heart.
Before she could finish speaking, an extraordinary phenomenon appeared in the sky—a blinding flash of lightning streaked across the heavens, heading straight for her.
Despite her agility as she instantly climbed the nearest ancient tree, the lightning seemed to possess a will of its own, twisting and turning in mid-air before striking her with pinpoint accuracy.
With a deafening roar, Yun Jiu fell like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily to the ground and losing consciousness.
At that moment, something strange occurred.
A figure descended through layers of clouds and mist from the sky, landing on the lightning-scorched ground just dozens of yards away from Yun Jiu, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Before long, Yun Jiu slowly regained consciousness. Everything around her felt both familiar and foreign.
Rubbing her aching head, a glimmer of vigilance flashed in her eyes before it turned into self-deprecation: "Heaven, are you joking with me? If I must be transported to another world, why must it be in this form? It's bad enough that I'm pitch black; I’m also stuck with a useless body incapable of cultivation. This joke has gone too far!"
Tears welled up in her eyes and eventually slipped down her cheeks uncontrollably.
She recalled the past of this body and felt a mix of emotions swirling within her.
Yun Jiu—this name concealed a tale of hardship. Abandoned at a young age, she was fortunate enough to be adopted by the Yunqing couple. She had hoped to find belonging in their warm home but discovered at the age of five that fate had played a cruel trick on her; she was unable to cultivate.
Worse still, when she turned eight, her adoptive parents went missing while carrying out a family mission and were never heard from again, leaving her alone to struggle for survival within the vast Yun Family—a prominent clan of cultivators.
Yun Jiu's situation grew increasingly dire as she felt the indifference and rejection from within her family; every gaze seemed to remind her: you are nothing but an outsider and a waste.
It was this loneliness and helplessness that made her exceptionally sensitive and led her to easily believe Bai Moyu's sweet words—the second son of the Bai Family, rivals of the Yun Family—who captured her heart with mere cheap flattery and some stale pastries.
"I, Yun Jiu, will not let fate manipulate me so easily!"
Yun Jiu silently vowed in her heart; she decided that in this world, she would live out an extraordinary life as Yun Jiu.
What happened today was merely the beginning of her rebirth—a storm brewing quietly that would change her destiny forever…
Under the instigation of Bai Moyu, the original body foolishly and unknowingly stole a rare treasure that the Yun Family had painstakingly acquired—a precious Sixth-Level Spirit Gathering Pill. This pill was something that Yun Baichen, the head of the Yun Family, had high hopes for, intending to use it to break through the bottleneck of Refining Spirit at the seventh level. Unfortunately, it became a victim of betrayal, carelessly gifted to an enemy. The entire Yun Family was heartbroken, viewing it as a cruel irony of nurturing a tiger.
Today marked the anniversary of Yun Changqing and his wife's passing, a day for family remembrance. Yet, at this sorrowful moment, the original body chose to sneak into Yun Baichen's study and steal the Spirit Gathering Pill that held so much hope. With unrealistic fantasies in her heart, she hurried to the edge of Beast Forest where she had arranged to meet Bai Moyu, believing she could escape with him. Little did she know that betrayal and mockery awaited her.
Once Bai Moyu got his hands on the pill, he immediately turned hostile. Amidst his cold taunts, he kicked her down, and her head struck against the cold rock, extinguishing the flame of life and leaving behind a lifeless shell.
Yun Jiu's soul traversed through time and space, confronting the absurdity of her past actions with mixed emotions. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, questioning why she had done such foolish things for that heartless man—essentially self-sabotaging and repaying kindness with enmity. The future was filled with handsome men; why rush for one fleeting moment?
After collecting herself, Yun Jiu decided to return to Ye City to face the impending storm. However, fate seemed unwilling to let her leave so easily. Not far along her path, an unusual figure caught her attention—a seemingly lifeless man lying quietly by the roadside, his breath barely perceptible. If not for Yun Jiu's keen hearing, she might have missed him entirely.
Out of caution, she picked up a small stone and gently tossed it at him. The stone fell silently, confirming his condition. Yun Jiu speculated that this man must possess extraordinary treasures given his remarkable attire.
She approached quickly and lightly touched him with a branch. As she turned his body over, a flicker of astonishment crossed her eyes before transforming into indescribable admiration.
Oh my! This was no ordinary mortal; he was an extraordinary beauty! The so-called dashing young men and popular idols paled in comparison before her gaze.
"Look at this chiseled face; it seems like nature's finest masterpiece. And this nose—straight yet graceful—truly a work of art..." Yun Jiu murmured to herself, her admiration spilling over. Yet moments later, she sighed softly, "Alas, even such unparalleled beauty cannot escape fate's whims; ultimately returning to dust—how true is that saying 'beauty fades while heroes meet their end'!"
However, Yun Jiu was not one to be lost in superficiality; she quickly regained her composure and sharpness. She thought to herself: "Oh beautiful one, though you have departed this world, wealth is merely an external possession; we come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing. I shall be a good person and keep your treasures safe for now."
With that resolve, she swiftly began searching through the man's clothing in hopes of finding some valuables to alleviate her immediate needs. However, after a thorough search, aside from the high-quality fabric of his garments, she found not even a single coin—let alone any gold or silver treasures.
Yun Jiu couldn't help but frown in frustration; in a moment of impulse driven by anger, she stripped off all his clothes while muttering indignantly: "This world is becoming increasingly heartless; how can someone so handsome be so destitute! Well then, it seems today I shall return empty-handed."
Though she felt this act was undignified, it did little to mask her inner disappointment.
