Huang Ningmeng was slightly taken aback. This girl was too cruel to herself, wasn't she?
Hongyan was already heartbroken and had only come out to prolong her life; she didn't want to die so soon.
She came over to take a look at Huang Ningmeng, though she didn't know why.
Perhaps he regrets it? Perhaps there's still hatred?
That's no longer important.
...
After marrying Huang Ningmeng, Du Chenyan, just like his original career path, became an important official in the court.
Although they never had children, Du Chenyan never took a concubine or even a maidservant in his lifetime.
After that day, Huang Ningmeng was not at ease letting Hongyan leave, and she had the ring keep an eye on her for a while.
After Hongyan left, relying on her youth, she fell into the world of brothels and became a courtesan who used her beauty to serve her lover.
Seeing her end up like this, Huang Ningmeng sighed deeply.
A century later, Huang Ningmeng and Du Chenyan passed away peacefully in their old age, and Qiao Qiu returned to the ring space.
On the sofa bed, Qiao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief; the constraints of that era were almost unbearable for her.
Of course, what she couldn't stand the most was her skin condition. It would hurt if she applied even a little bit, and it would burst if she applied too much, just like a balloon.
Oh no, maybe the balloon is even tougher than her skin.
Qiao Qiu is touching her skin now, but she doesn't dare to use too much force.
Then the ring mocked mercilessly.
"Hahaha, Master, don't worry, it's okay to touch it, hahaha..."
Qiao Qiu narrowed her eyes, gritting her teeth, "Xiao Jie! You want to die!"
"Master, you're getting more and more violent. I won't dare to do it anymore."
The ring's babyish voice was adorable, and to be honest, Qiao Qiu quite liked it. The moment it started acting cute, her temper immediately subsided by more than half.
"Hmph, let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again."
"I won't do it again, I won't do it again."
Qiao Qiu closed her eyes and lay down on the bed.
The older people have lived their lives for so long that their mindset is different. Even if they feel angry for a moment, it will soon dissipate.
Each time she lived a lifetime in a different world, she needed some time to recover.
"Master, when do you plan to go to the next world this time?" the ring asked.
Qiao Qiu slowly opened her eyes, her movements as slow as an elderly person's.
"Little Ring, tell me honestly, do you know where I will be reborn in my next life?" She hadn't forgotten in a moment the ring had told her before she passed away in her previous life that she could do whatever she wanted, and that it would protect her if anything happened.
Upon hearing this question, the ring fell silent.
Not hearing a reply, Qiao Qiu's eyes narrowed. Could it really know?
Qiao Qiu remained silent and waited quietly.
The ring watched her from where she couldn't see it, and her little brows furrowed into mountain peaks.
It knew she had noticed something; she was just waiting for it to say it itself.
"Master, I... I think I know."
"You probably know?"
"Um."
"How so?"
"Once you return to this space, I will sense at least five adjacent worlds. If I so desire, I can use my mental power to send you into any one of them."
The ring took immense courage to be so frank, because it had once used its mental power to bring her into the world in order to prevent her from being with Ji Rufeng, and had even deliberately made her a man.
This means it had opposed her before. Can she accept that?
I have no confidence in the ring.
Qiao Qiu pursed her bright red lips, her eyes showing no sign of dwelling on the past.
In the past, it was normal for them to drift apart, but things are different now, so there's no need to dwell on the past.
"Little Jie, how many worlds can you sense right now?"
Seeing that she didn't blame him, Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. After sensing for a while, he said, "There are five worlds around this space: two modern, one ancient, one immortal realm, and one ancient world. Master, which one do you want to go to?"
No matter which one she wants to go to, as long as she says so, it can help her change the course of her journey and let her go to the place she wants to go.
In any case, escorting her would consume mental energy, and changing the course would only consume a little more. Compared with the mental energy that Qiao Qiu earned in each world, this mental energy was just a drop in the ocean.
"What was the broader historical context?" Qiao Qiu asked.
"It's a world of... farming."
"Farming? What is the social status of women?" She didn't really want to go to the modern world, nor did she want to go to the ancient world. She didn't have a hobby of seeing people completely naked. She was bound to be no match for the immortal realm. So, all things considered, the ancient world was the only place she longed for.
"Because of the issue of agriculture and sericulture, many women would help their husbands or fathers to go out and farm. Although it was still an era of male superiority and female inferiority, they had a lot of room to move around."
"It would be good to have enough space to move around freely."
Qiao Qiu sat up, got off the sofa bed, walked to the mirror, looked at her reflection, and suddenly felt as if she had been in another world.
"Master, do you feel like you've become much more beautiful?" the ring asked playfully.
Qiao Qiu shook her head. "It's just that I look more mature."
Indeed, Qiao Qiu in the mirror still had a cute chubby face, but the look in her eyes, after years of experience, revealed a calmness like a deep pool.
And her demeanor... that's not that of a sixteen-year-old girl.
Overall, she now looks older than her age.
Qiao Qiu turned and walked towards the portal.
"Master, aren't you going to go outside and take a look?"
"I'll be waiting for you."
"Wait for me?" The ring seemed a little confused.
"When you can take human form, you will personally be my guide."
With that, Qiao Qiu opened the door and jumped down.
Behind her, a semi-transparent child appeared. It was not moved for long before it jumped down with her, becoming a protective shield that enveloped Qiao Qiu's soul and entered the time tunnel.
...
Under a clear blue sky, there stretched an endless expanse of fields. The rice paddies swayed gently in the breeze, and many farmers were diligently harvesting the rice.
At the very edge of this field stood a large courtyard. It had three courtyards and three entrances, resembling the home of a wealthy man.
In fact, this family owns hundreds of acres of land in the surrounding area and is the wealthiest landowner in the area.
In the innermost courtyard, under a large tree, a girl of about ten years old was resting on a deck chair.
A maidservant sat beside her, fanning her.
When Qiao Qiu regained consciousness, she felt a cool breeze blowing over her.
"Master, don't move, I'll send you the data."
The ring stopped her from moving her finger.
"good."
Qiao Qiu was already used to receiving information, and when a lot of information flooded into her mind, she didn't even frown.
This is a world of farming, as stated at the beginning. Qiao Qiu skipped the background and went straight to the plot.
The female protagonist of this world is named Gu Youying, and she is a transmigrator.
Qiao Qiu perked up. She had traveled through many worlds, but it was rare to see a female protagonist who had traveled through time.
