In the early days of July, the weather was so hot that people found it hard to muster energy.

However, Daohua Village in Wushan County was in full swing. The sound of suona and drumming echoed throughout the village, and festive red ropes were tied to the trees along the road leading to the village.

"This young girl will be well-off after she goes down there, the village chief's son is a university student."

"Indeed, if it wasn't for my stubborn daughter who refused to go, this opportunity wouldn't have gone to this outsider."

Ying Chuxian was still in a state of confusion, but the next second, she heard faint whispers in her ear.

The whispers grew louder and clearer, accompanied by occasional congratulatory voices.

Ying Chuxian slowly opened her eyes, and what met her sight was a dead face, pale and eyes tightly closed.

The deceased was a very young man, who seemed to have died of illness, his body extremely thin.

And she, dressed in a bright red, was lying next to the young man inside a coffin.

Ying Chuxian's face was expressionless as she slowly came to terms with her reality.

The wheel of life and death had come to an end?

It seemed... she has come back to life ahead of time.

In the next instant, the memories belonging to this body flooded into Ying Chuxian's mind.

She lay in the coffin, calmly assimilating all the memories.

After receiving the memories, Ying Chuxian's eyes flashed an understanding.

Ying Chuqin was originally a great wizard from ten thousand years ago, she sacrificed herself to prevent a major catastrophe.

Before she died, she made a desperate plan for survival, splitting half of her soul to enter the cycle of reincarnation. After ten reincarnations, the remaining half of her soul would return from the Chaos.

And this life, was her tenth reincarnation.

In her current life, her destiny was thrown in turmoil due to the loss of half her soul, constantly plagued by illness and frail health.

Switched at birth in the hospital, she lost her foster parents in a tragic accident when she was only a year old. She was adopted by a Taoist temple, but her slow reaction time made it impossible for her to learn Taoist magic.

A year ago, the Taoist who took care of her, realized her biological parents were the wealthy Song Family from Luo City due to his impending demise.

The Taoist handed her over to the Song family, but little did he know, he was throwing her to a pack of wolves.

Even though the Song Family knew that she was their biological daughter, they despised her and preferred their adoptive daughter, Song Siqiong.

In their eyes, their own blood daughter was not even as worthy as the dog raised by Song Siqiong.

The reason why Ying Chuqin ended up in this predicament was that her fifth elder brother, Song Zhiyi, had forgotten to pick her up from school as he went to fetch Song Siqiong from her dance class.

This led to her being forcefully taken away by human traffickers.

Although the body she inhabited had slow reactions, she was not a fool. She knew that the human traffickers were bad people and put up a continuous fight against them.

She attempted to save a girl who was abducted like her, but was discovered by the human traffickers at the last moment.

She was beaten into a pulp when she was caught, and her body couldn't withstand it and she ceased to breathe.

Even after she took her last breath, the human traffickers did not let her go. They sold her to the dying village chief's son, demanding her to serve him in the underworld.

Now, the villagers are preparing to bury her alongside the village chief's son.

Yin Chuxian was just thinking when a voice suddenly came from above the coffin, "Eh? Tie Zhu, the girl you guys brought is still not completely dead."

"Impossible!" The man called Tie Zhu exclaimed, "I clearly saw her stop breathing before we brought her here."

Yin Chuxian blinked slowly, her black pupils turned a little, slowly she lifted her eyes, meeting Tie Zhu's gaze who had just come over to check the situation.

Tie Zhu was taken aback when he unconsciously met her icy, pitch-black eyes. "Wow! She really isn't completely dead, is she?"

But he had indeed checked her breath before, and only moved her after confirming that the person was dead.

How, how is she alive again?

Yin Chuxian sat up slowly from the coffin, her face expressionless, as she stared at him.

She remembered him.

This man was the same trafficker who kidnapped her and then killed her.

A dead person coming back to life scared even Tie Zhu who didn't believe in ghosts. It sent chills down his spine. He sneered, "What are you looking at! I'll gouge your eyes out if you keep staring!"

Yin Chuxian remained silent, her eyes falling behind Tie Zhu.

Behind him, dozens of wretched looking female ghosts were reaching for his neck with horrifying, snarling faces.

But each time they tried to reach him, they were repelled by the golden light on his body.

The woman who spoke earlier also found Yin Chuxian's silent stare at Tie Zhu unsettling.

"But the burial is almost upon us, she has no time for fear: "Iron Pillar, the burial is almost here, this girl is still alive, what are we supposed to do?"

"Why don't we just kill her again if she's still alive?" Iron Pillar's face twisted in malice. He spat on his hand and moved towards Yin Chuxian.

The moment he took a step, Yin Chuxian spoke her first words, "Do you want revenge?"

The female ghosts who were aggressively reaching for Iron Pillar's neck froze. They suddenly lifted their heads to look at the girl sitting in the coffin.

Among them, one with a severely disfigured face, an eye falling out of its socket, and a large cut across her stomach, abruptly floated up to Yin Chuxian.

Her eye, swinging as she moved, was inches from Yin Chuxian's face.

"Can you see us?"

Yin Chuxian nodded, then asked, "Do you want revenge? I can help you."

"Of course we want it!" The vengeful ghost replied, bloody tears streaking down her face as she glared at Iron Pillar approaching Yin Chuxian, "But he has a talisman given by a master. We can't harm him!"

"How can you help us when you can't even protect yourself?"

Yin Chuxian's expression remained unchanged. "I have a way."

As they spoke, Iron Pillar had already approached Yin Chuxian, extending his hand towards her neck. "Don't blame me, blame yourself for getting in the way."

Just as his hand was about to touch Yin Chuxian,

Yin Chuxian suddenly raised her hand and slapped him.

Iron Pillar felt a chill running through him, making him shiver from the cold.

Ying Chuxian casually said, "Alright."

As her voice faded, a cold wind rose abruptly in the shrine, scattering paper money everywhere.

A woman, who had initially retreated to the side due to discomfort, accidentally glanced in the direction of Tie Zhu.

Her eyes suddenly widened in sheer terror, covering her mouth and barely-squeezed words out of her throat: "Ghost... ghost..."

Tie Zhu couldn't help but shudder. On hearing the woman's voice, he couldn't help but turn his head: "Ghost what? There’s no such thing in this world..."

As he turned his head, he was met with two hollow sockets dripping with foul-smelling, crimson blood.

The female ghost was perched on his shoulder, slowly revealing a smile to him, the corners of her mouth split towards her ears, "Brother, let’s play together~"

Tie Zhu's eyes widened, and he yelled in horror, "Ghost!!"

Tie Zhu tried to scramble towards the exit, but a ghastly pale hand shot out from the ground, grabbing his leg.

He tripped and fell to the ground.

The female ghosts laughing swarmed over, tearing at his soul: "Brother, don't run, let's play together."

The woman, on seeing Tie Zhu encircled by the group of female ghosts, screamed and took off, using her hands and legs to scramble out of the room.

On her escape route, she left a trail of water stains.

She was frightened to the point of wetting herself.

Ying Chuxian ignored the ring of female ghosts, and Tie Zhu, whose eyes had turned a milky white hue and face turned green due to fear.

She climbed out of the coffin, standing in the spirit hall, performing some calculations.

Her gaze landed in the southeast direction.

That would be her way of life today.

Ying Chuxian walked towards the main entrance of the spirit hall. As she passed by the female ghosts, she said nonchalantly, "Don't let anyone else go after you take your revenge, come and find me."

A female ghost who was amusingly 'playing' with a mans intestines replied with a giggle, "Sure, benefactor~"

The spirit hall was situated in a remote location, and the atrocities that occured here hadn't been spotted by anyone. Ying Chuxian made her calculations while walking, managing to avoid people and leave this small mountain village smoothly.

······

Twilight gradually fell.

On the asphalt road several tens of kilometers away from the Village of Ricoflowers.

A black sedan pulled over to the side.

A man dressed in a tank top and work pants with a sturdy physique was holding up his phone towards the sky, "Brother, I've been holding up the phone for almost two hours now and there's still no signal."

"It’s about to get dark, are we going to spend the night in this desolated, lonely place?"

Inside the car was a man in a grey suit. He had a gentle demeanor, delicately handsome features, fair skin, and an almost perfect face.

Shen Daiyuan's slender fingers tapped lightly on the black keyboard, with his long and thick eyelashes drooping slightly. He coughed softly and said in an indifferent tone, "If A'xi and the others realize they can't reach us, they will send someone over."

Hearing his cough, the bodyguard Ah Dong asked with concern, "Third Brother, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Their third brother has been weak and sickly since birth, and a slight carelessness during the changing seasons will send him to the hospital.

Now, in this desolate wilderness, the temperature drops after dark, Ah Dong is extremely worried that Shen Daiyuan will fall ill.

"No worries." Shen Daiyuan shook his head slightly.

Just when Ah Dong wanted to say something else, he suddenly caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of a figure approaching from not far away.

Ah Dong said excitedly, "It's a person! Third Brother! Someone's coming!"

The tapping action of Shen Daiyuan paused slightly.

Ah Dong had already excitedly run towards the direction of the person: "I am going to ask him if his phone has a signal."

Ah Dong had just run a certain distance when he clearly saw the figure approaching, and the joy on his face instantly turned into horror.

"Holy Shit! Third Brother! A ghost!"

The figure ahead was wearing a red bridal dress similar to those from ancient times, with a pale face, and silence in the way she walked.

It was eerily similar to a grim reaper from the movies.

Ah Dong immediately turned around and bolted back to the car.

Shen Daiyuan remained unperturbed, his gaze landing on the approaching "ghost lady".

Ying Chuxian, who had been walking for nearly three hours, stopped and his dark eyes fell on the car.

There were black figures surrounding the car, each of them emitting a sinister aura.

Inside the carriage was a silhouette radiating a faint gold and purple glow. Above this glow, however, lingered a heavy air of ominousness.

Ying Chuxian blinked her eyes.

Those who possessed the purple aura were, in general, individuals with the destiny of emperors.

And this person not only had the purple aura but also the golden color that represented merit.

Ying Chuxian came to a conclusion, this was a good person.

It also presented her path to survival.

What a pity though, the good person was on the brink of death.

Tilting her head in thought, Ying Chuxian stepped towards the carriage.

When Ah Dong saw her approaching, he was scared out of his wits, afraid yet wanting to protect Shen Daiyuan. He stuck his entire body against the carriage door, shutting his eyes and screaming, "Aaah! Don't come over!"

Ying Chuxian ignored him, standing straight in front of the window, staring intently at Shen Daiyuan with a hoarse voice.

"There's a gloomy shade on your forehead and an evil aura over your head, you're going to die soon."

"The only one who can save you now is me."
