Southern Mo Kingdom.
Wuliang, March of the eighth year of Xuanzheng.
"Well, who'd have thought there'd be such a pretty woman in this dirt-poor mountain backwater?"
"This chick's a real top-quality piece!"
"Boss, you eat the meat first. Let us brothers have a little soup afterward, hahaha."
"I won't shortchange my brothers. You can take turns afterward. Do whatever you want, as long as you don't kill her."
All manner of filthy, unbearable words filled her ears. Yun Manman barely managed to open her eyes, her pale purple irises filled with pain and icy coldness.
The first thing she saw was a burly man gripping her neck, his face twisted viciously. His rough, ruthless hand clamped tightly around her throat like a merciless iron vise, leaving her barely able to breathe.
Cold, murderous light flashed in Yun Manman's pale purple eyes, and her hoarse, parched voice carried a vicious edge.
"You're courting death!"
She swiftly pushed herself up, spun around, and kicked out, gathering true qi in her hand to kill the men.
Only to gather a handful of air...
Yun Manman looked down at a pair of thin, rough hands and the incongruous ancient clothing, along with the unfamiliar memories pouring into her mind.
Always calm and composed, Yun Manman could not help staggering. After an instant of confusion, her expression filled with disbelief.
She, Yun Manman.
The head of the Yun Family, an ancient martial arts clan of the twenty-eighth century, had been betrayed by the clan elders and her trusted followers while cultivating the Lotus Heart Art in seclusion.
At a critical point in her cultivation, this had caused her blood and qi to flow backward and damaged her heart meridians. Aloof by nature, she had suddenly found life meaningless and chosen to drag those people down to death with her.
And the result!
Her body had died, but her soul had actually transmigrated!
And into an ancient-era farm girl with exactly the same name!
Heaven was simply toying with her. This was beyond absurd!
The original owner was a villager from Red Star Village in Wuliang County of the Southern Mo Kingdom. Today was her seventeenth birthday.
Her father, Yun Zhen, her mother, Zhou Xiu'er, and her two ten-year-old younger brothers worked in town to support the family.
Her family had suffered years of bullying, beatings, and abuse from her grandmother and uncles. Today, her grandmother had driven the original owner out, forcibly ordering her to gather wild greens in the back hills.
Dull, somewhat slow, and taciturn by nature, the original owner had carried a basket into the back hills to gather wild greens.
Three men had suddenly appeared and dragged her straight onto the hillside, intending to violate her.
Then Yun Manman had transmigrated here.
Yun Manman lifted her eyelids and looked ahead with an icy gaze.
Directly in front of her, the burly man clutched his stomach, looking as though her kick had hit him hard.
Beside him, a fat man and a sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked man stood blinking their mismatched eyes in a daze, clearly still unable to process what had happened.
Behind them stretched endless slopes of yellow earth. The sky was yellow and heavy with grains of sand as well, the windblown sand typical of the northwest. The cold wind stung her face slightly.
Clutching his stomach, the burly man tightened his grip on his broadsword and pointed it at Yun Manman, his face full of rage.
"You filthy bitch! You dared kick me? I'll kill you!"
Mockery surfaced in Yun Manman's deep gaze. Countless people wanted her dead, but who besides herself could kill her?
A murderer crying injustice. Human nature was as hideous as ever.
A gust of northwesterly wind swept past.
The fat man shuddered, every hair on his body standing on end. The girl's pale purple eyes were bone-chillingly cold. He could not help swallowing and spoke uncertainly.
"H-her eyes... why did they change?" He even felt that she had become a different person!
The sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked man beside him also vaguely sensed something wrong. He scrutinized Yun Manman before his gaze stopped on those frightening eyes.
"B-b-b-boss, th-th-this woman didn't look like this just now!"
The burly man noticed something wrong now too. Not only had this woman's eyes suddenly turned purple, but her terrifying aura was like an asura coming to claim their lives. Something occurred to him, and his face went white as he roared harshly.
"Run! This woman's most likely turned into a purple-eyed ghost!"
Killing intent surged in Yun Manman's eyes, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Since you're so eager to court death, then die!" They could accompany the original owner to the grave.
With that, she pushed off with both legs and launched a flying kick, sending the fat man and the thin man onto the hillside, where they smashed out two differently sized craters.
The burly man held a notched blade, threatening her with a furious gaze but little confidence.
"Don't come any closer! My blade will chop you into eight pieces!"
Yun Manman's expression remained indifferent, ice and killing intent flashing through her pale purple eyes.
"You dog. You have to die first!" He was probably the one who had strangled the original owner to death.
With that, she instantly spun and leaped into the air, clamping her legs around the man's neck.
She gritted her teeth and exerted force. A crack rang out.
The burly man's pupils contracted, blood pouring continuously from the corners of his mouth. His corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
Yun Manman then picked up the fallen blade and flung it out, its tip piercing straight through the sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked man's chest.
After a few quick steps, she leaped into the air and used her momentum to kick the backs of the fat man's knees.
"Aah!"
Her kick broke his bones outright. Both knees slammed heavily into the ground, terror and excruciating pain written across his face.
"Don't come closer! Don't come closer! We only took someone's money to do a job. We have no grudge against you. Please, don't kill me!"
Yun Manman narrowed her eyes slightly. So that old woman really had plotted against the original owner? After all, she was the one who had driven Yun Manman into the back hills today.
"Tell me who sent you. Get a single word wrong, and I'll kill you on the spot!"
The fat man spoke, trembling. "Your grandmother, grandfather, and second uncle gave us two taels of silver.
"They said... said to ruin your purity, then they'd bring the villagers to catch us. That way, they could sell you to the woodcutter. It really has nothing to do with us!"
Yun Manman's eyes darkened, cold and fierce. She raised her hand and drove the blade straight through the fat man's throat. His eyes widened, filled with unwillingness.
He had already told her! It had all been true, not a word wrong. Why was he still dying?
A faint ripple passed through Yun Manman's icy eyes. Everyone who had harmed the original owner had to die!
A few days ago, that old woman had said she wanted to marry her off to a woodcutter in the neighboring village, who could give the family ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift. The original owner's parents had firmly refused, even getting into a huge argument over it.
The whole family had thought the matter was over. They had never expected the old Yun Family to be so vicious, actually finding men to ruin the original owner's purity and force her to marry the woodcutter.
Yun Manman took the money from the men, preparing to return to the village and see what was happening. That old woman had not come to the back hills; perhaps she was bullying the couple again.
She had just lifted her foot when she swayed and nearly fell. Shaking her slightly foggy head, she felt waves of heat surging through her body.
"Oh no. Have I been poisoned by corpse toxin?"
The thought of herself turning into a zombie made her shiver. She immediately shook her head, rejecting her own guess.
"No, no. These corpses haven't even gone cold yet. How could I turn into a zombie?"
Forget it. She would leave it alone.
She should go to the village and check the situation first. As for that old Yun Family, she needed to find a way to sever ties with them, then deal with them once and for all.
Standing up, she patted the dirt off her backside, bent down, and gathered the blade into her arms.
Hmm?
This icy-cold feeling is so comfortable!
Yun Manman's slightly narrowed eyes flew wide open.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
There was clearly something wrong with the way this body was reacting.
She abruptly remembered.
Those three dogs seemed to have forced some medicinal powder down her throat earlier!
"Fuck!"
Yun Manman immediately felt utterly wretched and dejectedly touched her forehead.
The discomfort in her body intensified, and she irritably loosened her collar a little.
"What the fuck is all this? Can't Heaven give it a rest?"
Yun Manman forced herself to calm down, raising her wrist and attempting to take her own pulse.
A long while later.
She let her hand drop dejectedly. Why had she only studied Western surgery back then???
Who had eaten her knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine?
