Dongfang Jue witnessed everything firsthand, starting with the all-consuming white light, followed only by suffering and wailing...
"Cui'er, has your brother gone out?"
This is Dongfang Jue's current name, Zhao Cuicui. To be honest, he doesn't like this name, nor does he particularly like the people in this family.
But this was a task given to her by her master, and although she didn't know what it meant, she didn't disobey it in the slightest.
She impersonated Zhao Cuicui. With her cultivation level of the twenty-third level of the early Nascent Soul stage, it was naturally impossible for her to deceive her master and sisters, but deceiving these ordinary people was a piece of cake.
During these days, she lived the life of an ordinary person, washing clothes by the river, collecting firewood on the mountain, and cooking. With her current physical and mental strength, learning these things was not difficult; she could learn them at a glance.
So she didn't really give anything away. Her "family" seemed to have noticed her unusual behavior, but they seemed to understand. Dongfang Jue thought that was fine, since she didn't intend to build good relationships with these people anyway.
She just needs to do what her master says; it's just some housework and won't affect her cultivation.
Dongfang Jue carried the wooden basin and walked towards the river. Now that her master had placed a restriction on her, although her cultivation and physical strength were not affected in the slightest, she could no longer use immortal techniques, so walking there was inevitable.
"Sister Cui Cui, are you going to do laundry too? Let's go together!"
This is the youngest daughter of the Li family, named Li Ying. She seems to have a good relationship with Li Cuicui.
At this moment, Dongfang Jue had been sent here by his master for more than a month, and he had a basic understanding of the people and things around him.
Dongfang Jue didn't dislike Li Ying, even though she seemed a bit clingy.
"Okay, let's go together." The fact that they needed to go to the river to do laundry was something Dongfang Jue had only recently learned.
Not to mention her home, there isn't a single well in the entire village.
As for drinking water, the eldest brother would get up early to fetch water from outside the village. However, his brothers and father would occasionally go to help. Dongfang Jue had also gone once, but with her thin frame, it seemed she would have to make several more trips.
Perhaps it was a way of remembering past hardships and appreciating present happiness? Dongfang Jue didn't know how such a poor life could help her cultivation.
Dongfang Jue thought that perhaps her master wanted her to see the hardships of the people.
Gradually, Dongfang Jue began to regard this as a trial or a test to temper his mind.
Having removed her Immortal Emperor robes and long weapon, the Nine Luminaries Universe Seal in her arms was her only remaining magical treasure. Dongfang Jue often held the Nine Luminaries Universe Seal in a daze, not even knowing what she was thinking. Only when she came back to her senses did she realize that she was daydreaming.
"Sister, look! Brother Wang Er and the others are all looking at you!"
Dongfang Jue felt that he was definitely not handsome at this moment. Compared to his original appearance, his current face was not even ordinary. His skin was rough and his face was pale and bloodless.
Even though she now possessed the pair of small breasts she had always dreamed of, it didn't matter much at the moment.
To be honest, Dongfang Jue felt that these guys had never eaten anything good, and what was so interesting about their faces?
Wang Er was dressed in dirty cloth clothes. Calling them cloth clothes was an understatement; they were just tattered cloths with two holes in them, enough to stick out one's arms.
Wang Er was pulling a cart, which was the most valuable thing in his family.
Dongfang Jue didn't think he was particularly eye-catching, and neither did Wang Er. To be honest, Wang Er was fat and ugly, and Dongfang Jue naturally wouldn't even glance at him.
Beside Wang Er were several men of similar age, who were now walking by the roadside, all sizing up Dongfang Jue and Li Ying, whose ages were "just right".
If it were Ye Qinghan, being looked at like that would probably have already sentenced these people to death. However, Dongfang Jue didn't care that much and wouldn't have the heart to kill over such a trivial matter.
Ultimately, she was still human.
"Hehe, let them see what they think."
Dongfang Jue only glanced at her, and to be honest, he didn't take it to heart at all. Even without immortal magic, mortals couldn't do anything to her.
In this world, no man can compare to her master, and she will never fall in love with any other man.
Even if it's an act, a so-called matchmaking and marriage proposal, she wouldn't recognize it.
Even though it was her master's mission, she refused, because she knew that if she defiled her body, she would lose her master completely.
Moreover, she is a cultivator, and the mortals before her are nothing more than fleeting clouds to her.
"Doesn't your sister like Wang Er?"
"Should I like him?" Dongfang Jue felt that the insult was really vulgar...
Li Ying seemed to be deep in thought, but Dongfang Jue saw through her immediately.
"If your sister likes him, she should take the initiative."
"Sister! You're so mean! I never said I liked him!"
"Your face is written all over it~" Dongfang Jue said helplessly.
This has been Dongfang Jue's daily routine for the past six months.
Her family members were very close to her, and she was sometimes disciplined, but more often than not, she seemed to see a look in her father's eyes that resembled that of a master.
This was completely different from the way Dongfang Shuo looked at her. It took Dongfang Jue a long time to understand that Dongfang Shuo's gaze had clearly passed right through her.
In her father's eyes, she was never Dongfang Jue, but her mother's daughter, a blood relative who looked very much like her mother, and a rebirth of her mother.
His father would occasionally lose his temper after drinking, taking it out on his eldest and second eldest brothers, and would argue with his mother—something Dongfang Jue had never experienced before.
Her parents would occasionally reprimand her, and her father's words were not to be questioned. As a woman, she and her mother had no right to refute him.
My father isn't perfect, but even when he's drunk, he can still act crazy. However, he'll get up early the next day to work and earn money.
Her two older brothers treated her fairly well, except for her second brother, who seemed to have special feelings for her; everything seemed normal.
All of this was until Dongfang Jue sensed the approaching spiritual energy. It was a small team of cultivators, seemingly from the Immortal Alliance under the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.
However, the highest cultivation level among them was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so they couldn't detect anything unusual about Dongfang Jue at all, and didn't even glance at her.
This is inevitable, as Dongfang Jue's appearance at this moment is not considered beautiful among mortals, and is simply not pleasing to the eyes of immortals.
According to the monks, the black mist was approaching, and they needed to move away.
Move away?
Where to move to?
These people may not know, but Dongfang Jue knows very well that there are few safe places left in this world.
If they move away, they will become vagrants and refugees, no different from beggars.
But who would dare disobey the cultivator before them? The black mist swept in, and even immortals would find it difficult to resist, let alone mortals like them. If they continued to stay in the village, they would surely die.
If it weren't for her master, Dongfang Jue could have saved this family. She had many ways to do so, but her master had already said that she couldn't interfere with any of the family's actions. She was just a young daughter with no say in anything.
