Gu Youying was also fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a somewhat sharp and mean appearance. If she were in modern times, she would definitely be a strong woman once she matured.

Qiao Qiu stood on the ridge of the field, and Gu Youying looked over from across the field with a look of contempt and disdain, which made Qiao Qiu very uncomfortable.

Qiao Qiu finally understood why that little girl, who was clearly very well-behaved, had gone to cause trouble for the female lead on her own. It turned out that it was all because this girl was hated.

Gu Youying was carrying a large, round jar, and Qiao Qiu guessed that it must contain the seedlings she was cultivating.

She was genuinely curious about how well Gu Youying had cultivated the rice.

"Master, I've adjusted your body to the state of a martial arts master. The last world was a mistake, don't worry. In this life, you can still use internal energy, and you're many, many times stronger than in your previous life. You can lift that jar in her hand with just one finger." The ring was very disdainful of Gu Youying. How dare she look down on its master like this? She was simply courting death.

Qiao Qiu knew that it said this on purpose so that she wouldn't hold back and could hit the protagonist however she wanted.

To be honest, she was really tempted by the idea; beating up the main character was what excited her the most.

She couldn't bring herself to do it in her previous life, but in this life her hands are itching to.

Qiao Qiu stroked her chin, reached out and broke off a small piece of twig, flicked it with her finger, and the finger-length twig shot towards Gu Youying's knee.

Gu Youying had no martial arts skills. As she walked forward, she suddenly felt a pain in her knee and fell uncontrollably, dropping the jar in her hand.

"ah!"

Gu Youying fell into the field, getting covered in mud.

Fortunately, all the rice in this area had been harvested, otherwise Gu Youying would have been dragged to her mother's presence and questioned.

Gu Youying struggled to get up from the muddy field and hurriedly went to check on the jar.

The jar was intact, and all the rice seedlings cultivated inside were poured out and scattered in the field.

"My rice seedlings!" Gu Youying stood up, pointing angrily at Qiao Qiu, "You did this, didn't you?"

Qiao Qiu crossed her arms and said, "Don't wrong an innocent person. You were the one who couldn't stand up, but you're blaming me."

Gu Youying said angrily, "You dare say it wasn't you? There are only the two of us here."

"Please look carefully, the distance between us is quite considerable," Qiao Qiu kindly reminded him.

Gu Youying looked at them and saw that they were about five or six meters apart. Qiao Qiu was a young lady from a landlord's family and had never done any work since she was a child. She was very weak and could only throw a large piece of dry mud about two or three meters away.

Smaller clods would be just right if thrown to her, but even if she threw smaller clods of mud, how could they possibly hit the ground so hard?

Gu Youying scratched her head, feeling confused, but her intuition told her that this matter was definitely related to Qiao Qiu.

There were only the two of them here. She didn't do anything wrong. Could it be that her knee was bent by a ghost?

Gu Youying glared at her, then resignedly squatted down and carefully put all the seedlings back into the jar.

She had gone to great lengths to get this jar from her mother; if it were broken, she would never find such a good jar again to store the seedlings.

Qiao Qiu walked along the ridge of the field and stood not far away from her, looking at the rice seedlings in her jar.

These rice seedlings are yellowish-green, giving the impression of malnutrition.

Qiao Qiu raised an eyebrow. This was the hybrid rice she had researched?

She managed to develop this in five years; she's practically superhuman.

Qiao Qiu looked at it with slight disdain.

Gu Youying is a person who always seeks revenge. Qiao Qiu caused her to fall into the field, and although she had no evidence, she could still drag her down into the field.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He turned sharply and reached out his vicious hand to grab Qiao Qiu's skirt.

However, she froze when she turned around.

Qiao Qiu had somehow walked to the bend at the very beginning of the field ridge, about two or three meters away from where she was.

Even if she just reached out, or even lunged at her, it wouldn't necessarily pull her into the water.

Qiao Qiu yawned and headed home.

Gu Youying was furious as she watched her retreating figure, but her seedlings were more important, so she could only swallow her anger for now.

The ring thought to itself, "How awful! How utterly vicious! How could someone so young be so cruel?! Master, thankfully you're quite skilled, otherwise she would have succeeded in that instant."

Qiao Qiu smiled and said, "At first I thought it was the fault of the original owner of this body, but now, it's clear who is right and who is wrong."

"Master, the original owner of your body was much cuter, okay? Apart from being a bit mean to the female lead, he had a great reputation in the village and was much more popular than the female lead."

Qiao Qiu laughed and said, "She's the female lead, naturally prone to attracting negativity, and also has a lucky streak. In short, as long as her belief remains, she won't die."

"Master, that's really sour." The ring took a breath, feeling a sour taste in its teeth.

"Alright, stop joking around. Let's find out when Bai Shu is coming." Qiao Qiu suspected that Ji Rufeng might have possessed the male lead's body again.

"Oh, okay." The ring checked and said, "Two or three months left."

Qiao Qiu raised an eyebrow slightly. This guy is something else. He deliberately avoided the peak of summer heat and chose a time when the weather was clear and crisp in autumn to come over.

"Master, would you like to know what Bai Shu does?" the ring asked.

Qiao Qiu smiled and said, "Judging from the plot, he's definitely not a good guy. It's okay if we don't know now; we'll find out when we meet him."

"Oh, okay." There wasn't much disappointment in the ring's tone.

Qiao Qiu knew that it would look at many things first, so if it did that, it meant that not knowing them didn't matter much.

The next day, just after noon, Qiao Qiu ran to the warehouse.

When Qiao's father saw her running over, he asked, "Qiu'er, what are you doing running over here? Don't get any rice on your body, or you'll get itchy."

Qiao Qiu smiled at him and said, "Dad, you've worked hard. I'm just here to get some things. You do your thing and don't worry about me. I'll take good care of myself."

Mr. Qiao smiled and shook his head, "Why didn't Xiao Hui come with you?"

Qiao Qiu laughed and said, "Sister Xiao Hui went to help me find the small jar, so she can't look after me."

Qiao Qiu picked out a few items and took them away. Watching her skipping away, Qiao's father laughed and called out, "Qiu'er, be careful running."

"I know, Dad. I'll have Aunt Li bring you and your uncles some refreshing soup later."

Qiao Qiu's voice drifted over from afar, and the men next to Qiao's father looked up and laughed, "Sir, you are truly blessed to have such a thoughtful daughter."

"Sigh, what good fortune! It might belong to someone else in the future," said Mr. Qiao.

"Haha, sir, your family is so wealthy and you only have one precious daughter. You can find a son-in-law to live with you."

"We'll see. As long as my daughter is happy, I don't mind."

Qiao Qiu took the things and ran back to the inner courtyard. She went to her room, put the things on the table, covered them with a handkerchief, and then ran out to the kitchen.
