Thwack...
A sound rang out, and a sharp arrow, shot without mercy, flew straight into Lu Tieyan’s left chest.
She bit her lips so hard in pain that they bled.
Not at all weak despite being a woman, on the contrary, she was very resilient, living up to her title as a valiant female general.
With one hand, she gripped the arrow tightly, pulled it out, and threw it to the ground. Her decisive action, coupled with her emotionless, unwavering expression, left everyone gaping.
Even the blood spurting from her body was horrifying, sending shivers down people's spines.
No one dared to imagine she could perform such a bold act.
It was horrifying!
Her complexion at this moment turned pale from excessive blood loss. Before casting herself into the abyss, she declared defiantly: “I… I curse you for your entire life… for all your future lives to suffer from terrible illness… may heaven strike you down and earth destroy you… may all under heaven… all under heaven despise you…”
Every word she uttered, laced with a steely, hateful tone, struck fear into Shi Lai Wushuang.
At the same time, Lu Tieyan weakly turned, then smiled, spread her arms wide, closed her eyes tightly, and leaped into the bottomless chasm.
Her serene, defiant expression before leaping into the abyss was etched deep into the minds of those who remained.
Although they stood on the opposing faction, few knew that they had long admired her.
It was only a pity and a sorrow that a female general should die so young.
—Thursday, January 12, 2022—
The great river of Bei Da City connected Nation N and Nation D, via a massive and solidly built bridge.
Beneath the bridge, a large crowd had suddenly gathered, surrounding something.
A very young man, with an scholarly appearance, was trying to revive a girl who had just been rescued from the water.
At a glance, it was clear this was the eldest daughter of the Song family, rumored to be an outcast young lady.
Among the onlookers, some felt pity for her, while others hurled reproaches.
The young man grew extremely worried when she didn't wake up.
The only way left was mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, hoping it would revive her.
Without much hesitation, he took the risk, lowered his head, and puckered his lips, about to touch Song Yexi’s lips, when fortunately, she woke up.
Their eyes met in surprise. Lu Tieyan jolted, pushing him away mercilessly: “What do you think you’re doing? You pervert!”
Wait, hold on for a good five minutes!!!
Damn! What the hell is going on? Where am I? Why does my voice sound so different? And…
Lu Tieyan, utterly bewildered, her eyes darting around, carefully observed each person. She felt a strange unfamiliarity; these people were dressed so bizarrely. Where on earth was she? If she were in the underworld, there should be Black and White Impermanence!
“Miss Song, this young man risked his life to jump into the water and save you, yet you show no gratitude and even push him away!”
A woman in the crowd couldn't help but speak up, reproaching her.
This conveniently shattered Lu Tieyan's hazy thoughts. Her round, bright, sparkling eyes, free of any worldly dust, looked at the person who had just spoken, and she tilted her head, innocently asking: “Which princess’s palace attendant are you?”
Indeed, the woman's words immediately reminded Lu Tieyan of the palace attendants in the imperial court.
All of whom had sharp and unpleasant words.
She stared at her, eyes wide: “Miss Song, have you been in the water too long and gotten waterlogged brains? I’m no imperial consort or anything. Or are you crazy, thinking you’re in a historical drama?”
Lu Tieyan immediately sobered up. This person kept calling her Miss Song.
Lu Tieyan’s mind was still hazy; she had no idea what was happening to her. Suddenly she was murdered, and suddenly she transmigrated to some bizarre place.
She couldn’t just sit there lamenting. First, she needed to clarify things. Then, Lu Tieyan propped herself up and stood. After all, he had saved her. As someone who valued righteousness and loyalty, she bowed and said, “Forgive my presumption. Thank you for saving me. I will repay this kindness if I have the chance.”
“It’s nothing. I wouldn’t dare accept thanks from Miss Song.”
Although she bore the title of the 'cold-shouldered eldest young lady,' Song Yexi’s beauty, however, was beyond dispute. It made anyone who saw her click their tongue in praise.
And her figure made people covetous.
Lu Tieyan saw him looking at her with lustful eyes, she involuntarily shivered and quickly walked past him.
Forgetting that she needed to know one more thing, she turned back and softly asked, “Could you tell me what year it is according to the imperial calendar?”
Although her manner of address seemed strange to him, and having lived so many years, how could she not know what year it was?
Or had she drunk too much water, leading to brain damage? But for a beauty, all was forgiven. He chuckled and replied, “It’s currently the year 2022, Miss Song. Do you need to ask anything else? I don’t mind telling you.”
Bang…
Bang…
Bang…
Lu Tieyan was so unsettled that she felt dizzy and lightheaded, almost unable to stand, and had to steady herself by grabbing his shoulder.
The year 2022!!!
Could it be that she had transmigrated all the way to the next life? Transmigrated five hundred years into the future in one go.
Just as Shi Lai Wushuang had said, only Heaven could save her from this death. Saved she was, indeed, but this particular rescue by Heaven was beyond her wildest belief.
“Ah! There’s still a lot. How about we find a quieter place to talk?” She quickly regained her composure, gave a sly smile, and then replied to him.
Lu Tieyan, unaware of her identity in this strange new world, spoke without thinking, not noticing that everyone was staring intently at her with the same thought in their minds: “As an eldest young lady, she’s inviting a strange man to talk privately? And in a secluded spot? How utterly vulgar!”
