Chapter 9

The early morning dew twined around the tips of grass.

Mu Ge laid on top of a patch of reed. The fallen reed beneath her silently accused her of the bullying.

She had been awake for a while. Her eyes gazed at the unpolluted blue sky and its unpredictable white clouds. Not far from her, the water from the stream babbled as if nothing had happened.

Where on earth was she?

Mu Ge’s clear eyes were thoughtful.

After her rebirth, she escaped death and barely managed to kill her enemies. After that, she became troubled by her gender followed immediately by the appearance of the original owner’s spirit. Finally, a man who was unbelievably strong had popped up and almost had a clear insight to her hidden trump cards.

It wasn’t until now that she had time to think about some of the issues.

From all the information she had gathered so far, it was clear that she had traveled to an alternate world.

Her abilities seemed like a remarkable existence here too.

This world should also have its own system of cultivation. However, the body she had seized didn’t seem to be able to cultivate.

Her nominal mother also seemed to come from a mysterious origin. She actually produced a magical device with such an unorthodox existence. Nevertheless, from what Mu Qingge had told her, this woman didn’t seem to be living with her.

The bottom line was that she had a complicated identity. In everyone’s eyes, she was a man and a reserved son from a distinguished family who happened to have enemies too.

Enemies.

At this thought, Mu Ge’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

She hadn’t forgotten what she had promised Mu Qingge. Whether she wanted to or not, Mu Ge had also inherited the latter’s family and enemies when she accepted the latter’s body.

“I only know so much due to insufficient information. Looks like I need to find some time to have a talk to Mu Qingge.” Mu Ge spat out the reed she held in her mouth and braced herself on the ground.

“There’s also those three powerful people from yesterday.” Mu Ge, who had just sat up, recalled last night’s scene.

When she said those ‘treacherous’ words last night, she felt two men came at her with an intention to kill. They could slice her into human sashimi in a matter of minutes.

Moreover, she had no means of retaliation to that feeling even though she possessed the familiar abilities.

The good news was that when she felt like her skin was going to be sliced open, that unbelievably handsome man had waved his hand, and the two men who had intended to kill her dissipated.

It was only from that moment that it became clear to her that there were still two people hiding in the dark.

That man had said something to her before he left.

He said that it was best not to expose her thunder powers until she had the ability to defend herself. He also said that he could let her practice.

The first half of what he said left some doubt in her mind.

The second part, on the hand, was nothing less than a huge temptation for her.

Nevertheless, she still refused.

She couldn’t stand his damn attitude as though he had randomly picked up some stray kittens on a whim and decided to raise them.

In the end, that man walked away with a profound smile. From the beginning to the end, Mu Ge had no idea who he really was. Naturally, she had no interest in meeting him again.

However, if there was a day when she could trample him under her feet and mock him, she would be happy to see him again.

Mu Ge lowered her gaze, stared at her peeling fingertips, and closed her hands tight. She asked herself gloomily, “Why can’t I use my powers?” It was the only thing she could rely on, but he had told her it would be dangerous if she used it casually.

What next?

“Go north. Luo Du in the Kingdom of Qin is north of here. I’ve been away for a long time. My grandfather must be looking for me. Find him and you’ll be safe.” A voice suddenly rang in her mind startling Mu Ge who had been deep in thought.
