"Aah-!"

The moment Tang Yue opened her eyes, she suddenly saw a Man-Eating Flower looming before her with its bloody maw wide open. Oh, no-not just a flower, but a whole monstrous bloom with a gaping, blood-red maw!

"Mommy! What the hell is that?!"

Tang Yue instinctively dodged. Before she could think, she rolled into the grass, then mustered every ounce of strength she had to stand despite the pain and limped off in an unknown direction.

"Boom-!"

The Man-Eating Flower behind her let out a piercing shriek and pursued her relentlessly. Though it was fast, it was much bigger than Tang Yue. She deliberately ran through narrow gaps, dodging as she went. Before long, sweat drenched her back, and as she ran over the wet grass, her stamina clearly began to give out.

Just then, a sudden stab of pain pierced her mind.

Memories!

This body's memories!

Well, damn. She had transmigrated.

She had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent and become Tang San's younger sister-one who shared neither his father nor his mother!

From the age of two until she turned four, Tang Yue had done all the drudge work in the Tang household. Cooking, laundry, washing dishes, cleaning-she did it all. Tang San occasionally helped, but because he needed to train, he was often away for long stretches. Whenever Tang Hao couldn't wait for him, he dumped almost everything on Tang Yue.

When Tang Yue was four, Tang San was six, just old enough to awaken his Martial Soul. For some inexplicable reason, Tang Hao had insisted that Tang Yue go along and do the same. In the end, the Martial Soul she awakened was only a lotus, and her Innate Soul Power was half a rank.

On par with that useless Yu Xiaogang.

By this point in the memories, Tang Yue's expression had darkened beyond belief.

And yet.

That wasn't even the most outrageous part.

Tang Yue was ten this year, and her Soul Power had only just broken through rank ten. Because she was Tang San's sister, Shrek had made an exception and admitted her as an auditing student.

The reason this thirty-thousand-year soul beast was chasing her now was that they had encountered the Titan Giant Ape while helping Oscar obtain a Soul Ring. In the chaos, the Titan Giant Ape had sent her flying. When she woke up, she found herself in this situation.

It wasn't hard to deduce that the body's original owner had died from the Titan Giant Ape's attack.

Besides, Tang Yue hadn't insisted on joining Shrek in the first place. Tang San had forcibly brought her along, and that was how she had become an auditing student.

She had always been inconspicuous at the academy. Apart from being somewhat close to Zhu Zhuqing, she barely interacted with anyone else.

Perhaps that was why nobody had come to look after her when she was knocked away.

"Huff, huff, huff-"

Tang Yue had no idea how long she had been running before she finally sorted out her relationships and background. Her frantic panting mingled with the Man-Eating Flower's piercing cries. Her cheeks were flushed scarlet, and she had exhausted all her strength. Finally, she stopped beneath a large tree and collapsed, her whole body limp.

"Seriously, isn't this way too unlucky for a transmigration?! Who-who gets cast as doomed cannon fodder the moment they arrive?!"

Tang Yue complained between ragged breaths, thinking that she really should never have watched this anime. If only she had watched Empresses in the Palace instead-transmigrating into that and becoming an imperial consort would have been fine!

"Screech-!"

The Man-Eating Flower caught up with Tang Yue!

Its piercing cry rode the wind into her ears, and the powerful gust whipped up her long hair. Her ears rang, and she felt as though her eardrums were about to burst.

Fortunately, the shrieking didn't last long. A moment later, an Ice and Snow Arrow tore through the air toward the Man-Eating Flower, which instinctively dodged. Only then did Tang Yue notice a silver-haired youth sitting on a nearby branch, swinging his feet as he watched the Man-Eating Flower with interest.

The youth wore a pale gray robe, his silver hair spilling behind his shoulders. His features were refined and well-proportioned, but his left eye was especially unusual: a layer of ice and snow covered it, lending him an air of mystery. His skin was as fair as jade, and a biting chill radiated from him. Yet his exquisite face retained a little baby fat, which, together with his gently swinging feet, made him look rather playful.

Tang Yue froze for a moment. That appearance...

What the Man-Eating Flower hated most was having its meal interrupted. It fixed its gaze on the youth perched on the branch and leaped, drawing several meters of vines out from beneath itself. Its enormous head opened its bloody maw at him, and dozens of tendrils extended from within, as though intent on wrapping him up completely.

At the sight, the youth tilted his head. A pair of Ice Wings sprouted from his back, and he swiftly evaded the Man-Eating Flower's clumsy attack.

The Man-Eating Flower was massive and hideously ugly. Numerous tentacles and feelers covered its body, and those tentacles bristled with barbs, making it look utterly terrifying! Its eyes were dark red, with eerie blue flames glowing within them, and its head resembled a gaping, blood-red maw, looking exceptionally ferocious!

Looking at the hideous Man-Eating Flower, the youth's expression soured. He soared into the air, and a bow gleaming with cold light appeared in his hand. A frigid aura spread through the forest. Opening his left eye, he stared fixedly at the Man-Eating Flower lunging toward him. "Eighth Soul Skill, Endless Stillness!"

As his words fell, an icy-blue formation took shape before him, layer upon layer. Holding the bow firmly, the youth drew it back sharply. The frozen arrow on the bow instantly became a streak of blue light and collided with the Man-Eating Flower in midair!

"Bang-!"

The arrow was incredibly fast. In a single instant, it struck the Man-Eating Flower's vital spot. "Screech-!"

The Man-Eating Flower let out an ear-piercing shriek. Moments later, it fell from the air and crashed down right in front of Tang Yue, barely clinging to life!

"Good heavens!!"

Startled, Tang Yue instinctively shrank back.

W-was it dead already?

The youth descended from the air and came to stand before her.

"Little girl, who are you? How did you get into the Star Dou Great Forest? Why are you deep inside it, and why was this hideous thirty-thousand-year soul beast chasing you?"

The string of questions came from above her head. Tang Yue instinctively looked up at the youth, and their eyes met. Her bewildered gaze was full of innocence. At the sight, the youth went still.

His eyes widened slightly.

Suddenly, many images he had never seen before appeared in his mind.

"You..."

The youth swallowed faintly, his Adam's apple bobbing, seemingly astonished.

-Author's note-

Heads-up: Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai get bashed early on. If you like them, please steer clear. Don't go looking for trouble for no reason. There are lots of personal settings and original additions. Don't argue with me; I won't indulge you. Reading is supposed to be enjoyable. I've warned you in advance, so if you still insist on picking this and that apart, I will curse you out.

P.S. I have trashy tastes, and I love writing trashy plots. If you don't like it, don't read it. Don't come here fishing for attention. Stop policing me. If you really can't stand it, go write your own book. OOC warning: this story has its own values and plot. If you can't accept that, leave. There are lots of personal settings.

Pay attention: the protagonist's group gets bashed, Yu Xiaogang gets beaten, Tang Hao gets tormented, and the love interest is Guang Ling. The female lead has a divine soul protecting her, and her actual age is ninety-plus.

For my new book, head over to my other story. It's still on the Spirit Hall side, and the protagonist's group still gets tormented.
