Qiao Qiu turned around and quickly crossed the cherry blossom path, returned to her room, and closed the door.

"Master, the curse has already struck you. What do you intend to do?"

"I won't let it go. Since the chosen one of its world represents it, then I'll start with those chosen ones. I'll let it know what it means to regret its actions." Qiao Qiu was truly enraged by the curse this time. Before, she only wanted to get rid of the curse, but now, it was a fight to the death.

Qiao Qiu lifted her foot and walked towards the portal that allowed her to pass through space.

"Little Jie, curses are invisible, I can't see them, so don't be careless."

"Master, I understand." This was its oversight; there won't be a next time.

"Mmm." Qiao Qiu responded, turned the doorknob, opened the door, and jumped down.

...

It was already dark, and the city was filled with neon lights. Cars were still flowing on the streets, and young people were still moving around the intersections, dressed in bright summer clothes.

This brightly lit city, though bustling, also has many quiet places.

At a dimly lit intersection, several men were pushing a girl against a tree about the thickness of an arm. The tree trunk bent slightly, then supported the girl's body.

This intersection is quite remote, located on the edge of the city, with unfinished buildings not far away and even some small bricks around it.

"Little girl, you've probably heard of that, right? Debts must be repaid, or your life will do. Our boss isn't someone to be trifled with. Since you have no money to pay, you'll have to pay with your life. Seeing as you're still somewhat attractive, before you're eaten, why don't we let you have a proper... hehehe..."

The girl lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow on her fair skin. Her face was somewhat round, her features regular, and her pretty appearance was faintly visible.

The man spoke shameless words as he approached her, but she didn't react at all.

"Is this girl scared out of her wits? Doesn't she know how to fight back?"

"Who cares? As long as we can have fun, that's all that matters."

"Yeah, isn't it good enough that we can play it?"

"Hehe, let's go then."

The lewd man's eyes were glued to the girl, completely oblivious to the fact that the person echoing his words wasn't one of his accomplices.

Just as he was about to reach for the girl's soft face, a fair and slender hand suddenly appeared and grasped his wrist.

"Damn it...who the hell are you?!"

The sleazy man thought they were his brothers, but when he looked up, he saw a fox mask.

"The one who taught you a lesson!"

The fox-faced man grabbed his hand and executed a stylish over-the-shoulder throw.

When the sleazy man's brothers saw him being beaten, they took two steps back, looked around, picked up the bricks on the ground, and rushed towards the fox-faced man.

The girl, who had been silent with her head down, moved.

Qiao Qiu opened her eyes, heard the sounds of fighting, looked up, and saw the fox-masked man defeating the last one.

She narrowed her eyes, feeling a tremor that seemed to emanate from her very soul.

Seeing that all his men combined couldn't beat him, the sleazy guy uttered a threat and ran away with his gang.

The fox-masked man didn't chase after them, but he paused for a moment when he saw Qiao Qiu.

Qiao Qiu was also sizing up the fox-masked man. He was rather thin, very tall, dressed casually, and wearing sneakers.

"Are you alright?" The fox-masked man took off his mask and walked over.

The fox-faced man looked clean-cut and not at all effeminate; he was quite handsome.

Qiao Qiu pressed her hand to her aching chest and shook her head. "I'm fine."

"What did you do to offend them?" The fox-masked man asked, trying to be as gentle as possible so as not to frighten her.

"It seems to be... a debt that hasn't been repaid." Qiao Qiu frowned slightly. She hadn't yet absorbed the memories and didn't know much about the original owner of this body. This was it; she had only vaguely heard about it just now.

"It seems so?" The fox-masked man was both amused and exasperated. Did she even know that she had almost lost her life and didn't even know why?

Qiao Qiu's mind was still a little fuzzy, and her head felt like it had been hit hard, with a dull ache.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?" The fox-masked man noticed that something was off about her.

Qiao Qiu fainted.

The fox-masked man caught her with lightning speed, only then noticing the bloodstains on the back of her head.

"Hang in there, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

...

Qiao Qiu regained consciousness, but still couldn't open her eyes.

“Master, let me give you the information about this world first. And the person who saved you, do you know who he is? I'll tell you about his life in this world as well. Master… do you know his name?” The ring hesitated slightly when it said the last sentence. After all, they were enemies before, rivals, and had never considered each other as teammates.

"His name is Ji Rufeng."

"Master, Ji Rufeng's name in this life is Zhou Lixi. He was affected when he left that world in his previous life, and he has some mental issues in this world..."

"What's the problem?"

"Master, you can see for yourself."

The ring first gave Ji Rufeng's information to Qiao Qiu, knowing that she would care more about this than anything else.

Li Xi could speak when he was born. The adults in his family thought he was very smart and were very happy. They even imagined his future.

However, Li Xi's later statements were always strange. He said he was a dragon knight, that he wanted to be a big shot, that he would ride a divine dragon and wield a divine spear to save the world. He would even order cats and dogs to do as he said.

Everyone thought he was just a kid playing around and didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until he was in elementary school, when he beat up his classmates until they were black and blue, and then seriously claimed that he was acting on behalf of God, that they finally realized something was wrong with him.

But they still couldn't believe he had mental problems, comforting themselves that their parenting methods were wrong, so they disciplined Li Xi even more strictly.

Li Xi suffered beatings and scoldings from a young age, yet he stubbornly believed he was a savior. His earnestness also made him a target of ridicule.

Strangely enough, Li Xi had never learned martial arts, yet his martial arts skills were excellent, and many people could not defeat him.

This made him not only ridiculed by his normal classmates, but also deeply feared by second-rate teenagers.

Although Li Xi disliked those self-righteous classmates, he never forgot his responsibilities and remained as righteous as ever.

Until one stormy night, a bolt of lightning struck Li Xi hard on the head. His body was unharmed, but his mind was severely damaged.

He always smiles foolishly and eccentrically in one direction. When people ask him if he's in a relationship, he gives them a disdainful look, leaving them awkwardly standing there while he walks away.

His parents took him to the hospital for diagnosis, and the doctor confirmed that he had a congenital mental illness, but the blow from the sword had aggravated his mental condition.

Li Xi's mother couldn't accept this fact and went into shock on the spot. She was rushed to the emergency room and it took a long time for her to be revived.

Li Xi was sent to a mental hospital after that, and was even sent to the aggressive mental ward.

He was only seventeen years old at the time.
