Hungry... so hungry...
Xiang Shu, who was sleeping, couldn't help but frown and subconsciously held his stomach.
How could she be hungry?
...The last time I ate was before I was hospitalized two years ago. After that, I became terminally ill and had to maintain my vital signs through a gastric tube.
But the burning and cramping feeling in her stomach was so strong that she quickly woke up from the confusion.
Suddenly opening her eyes, she sat up and looked around blankly.
This is an extremely dark room without even a window. The furnishings in the house were nothing more than a table and a stool. There was a ring of green mold growing on the chopsticks beside the bowl on the table. The bowl was clean without a drop of water.
Xiang Shen licked his chapped lips, rolled his eyes and continued to look.
No matter how you look at it, this place doesn't look like a ward in Tianhai City No. 1 Hospital.
Is he finally dead? But this doesn’t seem to be the underworld.
Suddenly, a strange memory came out of my mind, and scenes passed by.
Xiang Shen, the concubine of the Xiang family, a seventh-level cultivation family in the northern part of Dongzhou, ranks 72nd in the family, and has spiritual roots... miscellaneous.
The world of cultivation? !
Xiang Shu was so shocked that his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Could it be the world of cultivation in the dream?
Dream became reality?
Then is his existence also real?
His thoughts were confused for a while, and Xiang Shu was quickly brought back to reality by a strong sense of hunger.
After touching his dry belly, Xiang Shu got up and got out of bed. She used the stool as a crutch and walked to the door. She leaned closer to the door and took a closer look. Sure enough, she saw that the door was locked.
Xiang Shen frowned slightly.
The Xiang family in my memory is a cultivating family, dominating one side and owning Xiang City. The head of the Xiang family loved women and had many heirs, which is evident from the fact that the original owner was ranked 72nd among his descendants.
The original owner's mother's family was just a wealthy businessman. Her mother died early and she had no cultivation qualifications, so she was not favored by the Xiang family.
She searched through the memories of the original owner over the past fifteen years. She found that this child was either being bullied or on the way to being bullied. He had a submissive character and had no possibility of becoming enemies with others.
Who wanted her dead and what was their motive?
Xiang Shen was about to continue searching for suspicious characters in her memory, when a sudden cramping pain hit her stomach. The pain made her gasp, and she suddenly had no idea at all.
Although she often heard him say in her dreams that the world of cultivation was not a good place, she was too unlucky. She wouldn't have just traveled through time after death and starved to death again, right?
"...here, Miss Qin...is this slave right?"
The intermittent voice suddenly came, and Xiang Shen was startled. He immediately abandoned those unreasonable thoughts and lay down by the door to listen carefully.
"The door is locked. The young lady has left the family a long time ago and is missing."
"I don't believe it, open the door and take a look."
"Miss Qin, this is Miss Shu's room after all. Isn't this... inappropriate?"
boom--
Followed by a "clang", there was the sound of the door being kicked open, and the sound was not far away, right next door.
"Hey! Miss Qin, you have broken the rules. How do you explain this to us as servants?"
The maid Wangchun said angrily, Qinji didn't pay attention at all, and just glanced at the furniture in the room with cold eyes.
Suddenly, she walked to the table, wiped a little dust with her fingertips, twirled it, and immediately narrowed her eyes, "You said Miss Shen has been away for a long time, why is the dust on the table so thin? It seems that she has not been gone for more than a month. moon."
Wangchun's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface, "Miss Qin, the young lady left in a hurry and didn't lock the door. After cleaning for a while, the servant found that the young lady had not returned, so she locked the door. I forgot to tell you before. , please blame Miss Qin."
This explanation was indeed reasonable. Qin Ji couldn't refute it. He was silent for a moment and sighed: "That's it, it's just that she doesn't have that blessing."
She turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly she heard a crisp "pop" sound coming from the next door.
Wangchun's face changed slightly.
Haunted? !
She just went in to check in the morning. The person had been dead for several days, but she didn't have a chance to clean up the body because Qinji came over. How could there be any commotion?
"Where's the noise coming from?"
Qinji's face wrinkled slightly and he wanted to go away. When Wangchun saw this, he immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "Miss Qin! The next door is for servants to use. I'm afraid a mouse broke something. You'd better not go in, for fear it will be dirty." Your eyes.”
Qinji not only didn't stop when he heard this, but rushed to the next room at a faster speed. Wangchun couldn't stop him no matter what.
"Miss Qin...Miss Qin!"
Hearing the sound approaching quickly, Xiang Shen curled his lips slightly, picked up a broken piece of porcelain, and threw it out through the gap at the bottom of the door.
Qinji, who had just arrived, happened to see this scene, and his expression suddenly changed slightly. He rushed to the door in a few steps, and without saying a word, he drew his sword, opened the door lock, and opened the door.
"Miss Shi?!"
Qin Ji looked at the girl with sallow muscles and disheveled hair on the ground at the door, and was so shocked that she couldn't help herself for a moment, "Miss Shen, is that you?"
The girl nodded weakly: "Excuse me, please help me capture Wangchun."
Qinji was startled when he heard this. He turned around and saw Wangchun who had already escaped some distance away. He immediately snorted coldly, stepped forward and grabbed her by the back of the neck, and threw her hard towards the door.
"ah!"
Wangchun screamed and landed on his face, and a blood stain was wiped out on the bluestone.
At this moment, she didn't care about the burning pain on her face. She immediately got up and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly: "Little... Miss, I don't dare to do it anymore! Spare my life! Please spare my life!"
The sight of the bloody face made Xiang Yu's eyebrows beat fast.
She took a slow breath and said slowly: "You asked me to spare your life, and I also want to let you live, but if I do this...who will give me my life back?"
Wangchun looked horrified, "Miss...Miss, please listen to me, I have no choice but to accept..."
"Miss Qin!"
Xiang Shu suddenly raised his voice above Wang Chun's and raised his eyes slightly, "You haven't asked for advice yet?"
Qinji was stunned for a moment before he realized what Xiang Shen was asking, and he quickly responded respectfully: "Miss Shen, this servant belongs to Mr. Hong Yu."
Xiang Hongyu... Xiang Shu quickly remembered the owner of this name.
"Brother Seventy-One?"
Xiang Shen sighed with emotion, "My brother is of the middle grade spiritual root. He was an outer disciple when he entered the Blazing Flame Sect. Now he is probably an inner disciple with a distinguished status. It is rare that he still remembers the brother-sister relationship in childhood and sent someone back to check on him." I."
"Miss Shu, you are wrong about what you said."
Qin Ji smiled and said: "Young Master has not forgotten your kindness in helping the young master when you were young. Now that the young master has passed the outer sect competition and became an inner sect disciple, he can choose an attendant from home to bring him into the inner sect. He immediately thought of It’s you.”
"What?"
Xiang Shen couldn't help but exclaim, with a look of surprise on his face.
But there was no fluctuation in her heart, and she even felt that it was indeed the case.
In the memory, the original owner and Xiang Hongyu did have a good relationship when they were young, but when it came to their friendship, Xiang Shu didn't recall it, so the original owner probably didn't take it to heart.
As a child of the Xiang family, she is very familiar with the rules of the Blazing Flame Sect. Xiang Hongyu stood out from thousands of outer sect disciples and was promoted to an inner sect disciple, raising his status to a higher level.
The status of an attendant in the Blazing Flame Sect is equivalent to enslaving the disciples, but following the inner disciples, who dares to truly treat them as slaves?
What's more, the cultivation resources of the inner sect disciples are abundant. If you give them a little reward, they will be precious and unimaginable to ordinary casual cultivators. Who in the family does not covet them?
The news that she had been chosen as an attendant was sent back to her family, which was a reminder to her. If she didn't die, who would die?
In this way, it is not difficult to guess the person behind the scenes.
Xiang Shu sighed slightly, "Miss Qin, please do me one more favor."
Qinji's expression became serious, "You say it."
Xiang Shen raised his finger to Wangchun and pursed his lips slightly: "Kill her."
Wangchun, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiang Shu in horror, and screamed: "You are not a lady!"
How could a young lady who was always so timid that she didn't even dare to kill a chicken say such horrific words?
How could a person who had been dead for several days suddenly come back to life and talk and laugh with Qin Ji? When had Xiang Shu been so calm in her impression?
She didn't understand why Xiang Shen didn't let her tell the person behind the scenes in front of Qinji, but such forbearing wisdom should not appear in a stupid master like her.
Thinking of this, Wangchun suddenly felt blessed and his eyes widened, "You must be a ghost..."
Before the word "ghost" came out of her mouth, a bench swung over her hard and knocked her unconscious.
With a "clang", the bench fell to the ground.
Qinji was stunned.
