Just as Mu Qianyue was stunned, the man quickly put the ring onto her index finger.

“Cough cough… Are you proposing marriage to me? But even if you are, you’ve put it on the wrong finger. It should be put on the ring finger. And did I say that I was going to accept your proposal?”

Marriage proposal? What is going on in her mind?

“Hold onto this ring. It’ll bring you unexpected benefits.” The fair lips under the silver-gray mask twitched.

Mu Qianyue assessed him doubtfully, thrown into speechlessness. He seemed to know the original owner of this body, but no matter how hard she tried to search through all the memories in her mind, she didn’t find out anything about him.

Seeing that the man had released his grip, Mu Qianyue immediately tried to remove the ring. Although this ring was very beautiful and should be very valuable, she had pride and wouldn’t allow herself to be tied down by a man whose looks she hadn’t even seen. For all she knew, he could be extremely ugly. Otherwise, why was he wearing a mask?

The strange thing was that she was unable to pull off the ring at all. It was as if the ring had rooted to her finger.

Whoosh! A green light flashed past and Mu Qianyue sensed that she had formed a blood and flesh connection with this ring. Her instincts told her that this wasn’t an ordinary ring!

At the same time, something flashed in the man’s eyes and his gaze when looking at Mu Qianyue became increasingly deep.

“What on earth do you want? Just cut to the chase!” Mu Qianyue’s gaze slowly turned cold. He must have already been here before she had transmigrated over.

His thoughts were too deep and a person like him was very dangerous!

Seeing how the lady in front of him was acting just like a porcupine whose pricks would stand up at any moment, a faint smile unconsciously touched the depths of the man’s eyes. He moved closer toward her. “What do you think I’ll do?”

Mu Qianyue was stunned. This man couldn’t be a pervert, could he? She tried to think of a solution and countless thoughts flashed past in her brain, but none of them was of any use. He was far too strong!

“Remember, your life is mine,” the man suddenly proclaimed in a domineering manner.

Mu Qianyue only saw black shadows flashing in front of her and the man disappeared from her sight.

What kind of crazy speed was that!

Stroking the ring on her index finger, a glint flashed past in her slightly drooping, narrow eyes.

The man had just left when two figures darted out from the forest in rapid succession, appearing before Mu Qianyue like a gust of rapid wind.

“Young Miss, this is where you are.”

“Young Miss, you’re hurt?”

These two were Mu Qianyue’s shadow guards and had followed her to the Canopy Mountain Range to catch a demonic beast. As they had been sent away as a result of Mu Yurou’s plan, it led to ‘Mu Qianyue’ getting killed and the arrival of her, someone not from this world.

Although they claimed to be worried, Mu Qianyue could not see any worry from their eyes. There was only indifference, as if they were merely doing their job.

The Mu Qianyue of the past was not only trash, but was also a fool who would listen to and invite slander. Not only was she infatuated with the Crown Prince, she even recklessly spent the family’s money with no shame. Therefore, it was justifiable that they didn’t like this Eldest Young Miss!

“If the two of you don’t wish to follow me, then you don’t have to do so in the future anymore. I don’t need trash like you,” Mu Qianyue said coldly.

Hearing Mu Qianyue calling the two of them trash, both of them appeared furious. “Although you’re the Eldest Young Miss, you can’t insult us like that!”

“Why? You don’t think you’re tras? Are you unconvinced? Do you want to fight with me to prove if the two of you are trash?” Mu Qianyue’s brows raised, her gaze filled with a provocation.

“Young Miss, this matter will be over if you were to apologize to the two of us.” Although they were angry, they didn’t plan on making a move. Eldest Young Miss was trash without any Essence Energy. How could she possibly be a match for them? They could kill her just by moving their fingers!

“Stop with the useless talk. In fact, the two of you can attack together.” Mu Qianyue beckoned them with her finger, smirking in contempt.

The two of them were successfully agitated by Mu Qianyue. “Weapons have no eyes. Young Miss, don’t blame us if you were to get hurt.”

They decided to teach Mu Qianyue a lesson. They were the Defender Marquis Manor’s shadow guards and were trusted aides personally nurtured by the Defender General! They weren’t people she could insult just like that! not even if she was their master’s granddaughter!

“Clank!” Drawing out their longswords from their sheaths, a loud metallic clang was released. The sharp blades emitted cold light from the series of light and shadows as the two of them dashed out toward Mu Qianyue.

Mu Qianyue stood there, not moving. She didn’t appear anxious or scared, but instead, wore a cold smile and leaped up with the ability of a leopard. She dodged the longswords that came thrusting toward her, hacking down with her palm. The man felt a numbing feeling in his chest and his entire body suddenly convulsed in pain. He wasn’t able to summon any strength to his hands and legs at all!

After suppressing one of them, Mu Qianyue leaped into the air and whipped into a spin, appearing behind the second person in a strange manner. Her finger then locked onto the vital acupoint on the person’s back and his body stiffened up. The young girl behind him spoke up, “If I had a blade in my hand right now, I believe that the two of you should have been dead, right?”

Their countenances changed drastically, looking more than a little grim as their eyes revealed disbelief. How had they lost! To think they had lost in the hands of the young miss who was worse than trash. And it was even within a single move! They were fifth-stage cultivators!

Her series of movements were extremely skillful, smooth as flowing water, like a graceful artistic performance. She was brutal and decisive, not using a hint of Essence Energy at all, yet was still able to suppress them with ease!

Was this still their trashy Eldest Young Miss?

“You can’t even defeat trash like me, yet you don’t admit that you’re trash?” Her cold mocking voice rang out once again, causing the two of them to feel so much embarrassment that they had a strong urge to look for a hole in the ground and dive in.

“Since my dad left you guys to me, it meant that you are my men. However, you guys are disrespectful toward me, your mistress. So why should I still keep you? Scram. I don’t want to keep trash by my side!” Mu Qianyue continued.

Their expressions changed and they said solemnly, “Young Miss, we know our mistakes! Young Miss will be our mistress in the future!”

“If you want to follow me, it’ll depend on your performance in the future. I won’t stand for any intolerance and will not accept any hint of betrayal.” The young girl’s voice was cold and sharp, her slender figure emitting a terrifying and bloodthirsty disposition.

This disposition made both of their countenances change drastically, making them uncontrollably think of the white-clothed man who looked down on the world arrogantly, domineering and cold!

How could their master’s daughter possibly be bad?

…

Returning to the Brightmoon Courtyard, Mu Qianyue removed the clothes she was wearing. Her body was covered in thin and long wounds. As the blood had dried up into a dark crimson, she looked both terrifying and savage.

Even if the wounds were to heal in the future, it was likely that scars would remain.

But Mu Qianyue was not afraid. As the successor to a family of ancient martial arts and medical skills, healing injuries and removing scars were her specialty.

However, she had to first purchase medicinal herbs before she could refine any scar-removing medicine. She was too tired now and needed to rest for a while.

After coming to this world, she first took care of two people who wanted to kill her, then encountered a pervert. Following that, she had to subdue two shadow guards. It was already this body’s limits for her to be able to hang on until now.

Suddenly, the scene before her eyes changed. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was situated in an unfamiliar environment.

Around her were four sturdy ash-gray stone walls engraved with runes that she couldn’t understand. Other than that, there was nothing else.

Where was she?

“You’re the owner of the Heaven Connecting Tower? What a weakling!”
