Chapter 15

Qin Xue found a loose set of clothes to use as pajamas and took them to the bathroom.

She went to pour water to bathe, then filled a kettle to boil. Once it boiled, she mixed it with the water in the kettle so she could drink if she got thirsty.

Qin Xue carried the water into the bathroom, mixed it with cold water, and undressed before taking a bath.

The skin of the original body she was now in was very fair, contrasting sharply with the skin of the face and hands. This body was thin, but curves were where they should be, and angles where they shouldn’t.

In modern terms, this would be called an enviable figure.

Qin Xue really didn’t expect to have such a good physique.

This was the first time in the ten days since she had arrived here that Qin Xue had a complete look at her current body. She traced her hand from her face down to her flat stomach.

It was hard to believe that this body was already nurturing a small life within it. It felt truly magical.

Qin Xue looked at the woman in the mirror – her face was soft and gentle, but the confidence in her eyes made her even more attractive.

This self-confidence was so incongruous with her appearance, yet together they created a unique aura.

Qin Xue had never seen this kind of aura before, but now, was this really her?

“Huh, what’s this?” Qin Xue peered into the mirror, looking at the mark below her collarbone, rubbing the mark with her hand. It seemed like a pink peach blossom with a red center—an extraordinary mark.

“Eh, why does it look so similar to the peach blossom from the jade pendant my mother left me in my past life?”

However, that flower was pink with a pink center, not red. As Qin Xue thought about this, she continued unconsciously rubbing the mark.

Suddenly, she felt a wave of heat from her fingertip, and before she could react, she was transported to another place.

“Wow, it’s raining peach blossoms! So beautiful! Where is this place?”

The peach blossoms were in full bloom everywhere she looked. It took Qin Xue roughly fifteen minutes to walk out of the peach forest.

What she saw next was a plot of land about two and a half acres in size with black soil, a well beside it, and a half-meter wide cobblestone path between the well and the land. Behind the path was a bamboo house, and behind that was a bamboo forest. Who lived in such a beautiful place?

Qin Xue approached the bamboo gate and knocked on the door, but no one answered. She pushed on the door, and it opened easily, not latched.

“Hello? Is anyone here?” There was no response, just silence.

Was Qin Xue scared? Not really. As someone who had already died once and had had her soul transferred to another body, there was little left to frighten her.

But she couldn’t stay here forever, right? This place had nothing but a peach blossom forest, a bamboo forest, a bamboo house, a well, and some land. There wasn’t even food—was she going to starve to death here instead of dying in a car accident?

No, there had to be a way out. How did she get here? What was she thinking about when she got here?

Ah, at that time, she seemed to be thinking about the peach blossom mark beneath her collarbone resembling the peach blossom on the jade pendant her mother had left her.

Right, she was thinking about that. What else did she do at the time?

Qin Xue touched the mark with one hand, and placed the other on her chin. How could she return to where she came from? In, out, come, go.

It didn’t work. Was she supposed to say ‘exit’? She tried it.

“I want to exit.” Incredibly, she was back in the bathroom. “Ha ha, I’m finally back! Brr, it’s so cold.”

She didn’t feel cold in the peach blossom forest, but now she was shivering and realized she was still naked.

She hadn’t taken her bath yet, and after so much time, she didn’t know if the water was still warm. She touched the water, and it was still hot, just as it was when she had first adjusted the temperature.

As long as the water was still hot, she would quickly bathe first, and worry about the rest later.

There was no body wash, just soap. She sniffed it, and there was no particular scent. Soaps these days were quite simple, unlike the modern ones with various floral and milk fragrances. Could she start making soap to exchange for money?

Qin Xue hurried through her bath and put on her clothes, because the weather was quite cold and she couldn’t afford to catch a cold.
