Well, it really is all about fighting for food! The concubines glanced at each other.
Chu Susu asked curiously, "Now that you're here, where is the Emperor?"
Chu Nian pondered for a moment and said, "His Majesty... has probably left Xukun Palace by now!"
Chu Susu: "When you arrived, the Emperor was still in Xukun Palace?"
Chu Nian nodded, then added, "They're definitely not here now."
Good heavens, she actually dumped the Emperor?! The concubines exclaimed in surprise.
Consort Xiao quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty the Empress, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine, I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave now."
The Queen nodded and quickly left.
Upon seeing this, Consort Dong quickly stepped forward to take her leave.
Seeing that the other concubines were still there, Chu Nian said, "Why don't you all hurry back to your own palaces? You might run into the Emperor on the way and take him to your own palace!"
Consort Xiao and Consort Dong, who had just taken their leave and walked a few steps away, almost stumbled and fell upon hearing this: "Even if you know, you don't necessarily have to say it out loud!"
The two concubines felt utterly humiliated, but since they had already left, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to go back and continue chatting with the other concubines.
However, the concubines felt that the Empress and the Imperial Concubine seemed to be unusually close, and they felt strangely awkward between the two, so they all took their leave and left Kunning Palace.
The Emperor and the Regent each found some more seasonings and ingredients, and the palace's food supplies gradually increased, which made Chu Nian very happy. There were many chefs here, and their skills were all superb. As long as you told them how to cook, they could usually make the delicious food that Chu Nian wanted to eat.
To be honest, Chu Nian thought she could enjoy this wonderful time, but one night, while she was sleeping soundly, she suddenly felt her soul leave her body and be taken away from this world.
Chu Nian was a little annoyed: her diet had just started to improve!
She left Lian Nian's body and her soul once again traveled to the underworld.
This time, she clearly recognized that the pile of books emitting black smoke that she had seen before was actually filled with resentment.
Then, thinking back to how she had transmigrated, she suddenly realized: these books were probably all part of her mission! Who on earth came up with all this junk?
In a flash, Chu Nian felt herself fall into a new body. The original owner should have been lying on a soft, warm bed, which should have been very comfortable, but based on the experience this body gave Chu Nian, Chu Nian knew that the original owner must have been very uncomfortable—for some reason.
puff!
puff!
puff!
Before Chu Nian could open her eyes, she felt something blowing on her face, or perhaps spitting.
Alpaca?
At first, Chu Nian felt strange because she was angry because she was rejected as soon as she transmigrated. But when she thought of the cute little furry thing, her anger subsided a bit.
A large amount of the original owner's memories flooded into Chu Nian's mind. Strangely, a deep sense of fear also flooded into Chu Nian's mind.
She suppressed the discomfort caused by the original owner's emotions, opened her eyes, and saw a pale face staring right at her, but the face appeared upside down to her; moreover, she didn't know how many days this person hadn't slept, as their dark circles were huge and truly frightening.
Chu Nian was somewhat stunned: Could it be... not a cute alpaca?
As if to confirm her words:
puff!
puff!
puff!
With her dark circles under her eyes, she opened her blood-red mouth and began to spit...blow air at Chu Nian again!
Chu Nian felt disgusted. Even vomiting from an alpaca is disgusting, let alone from someone like this.
She covered her face and sat up abruptly, retreating to the corner of the bed as quickly as possible. Pointing at the man with the large dark circles under his eyes, she angrily demanded, "What are you doing?"
The woman with dark circles under her eyes was probably taken aback by her actions and was stunned.
Chu Nian then noticed that there was more than one person with dark circles under their eyes in front of the bed. They all had the same pale face and red lips. There were three of them, and their hairstyles and clothes belonged to different eras. However, their style of dress could be classified into one type: frightening.
After looking you over, Chu Nian yelled, "Is this what you call cosplay?"
Three large dark circles under their eyes stared at her blankly.
Chu Nian shouted again in annoyance, "Are you all sick? When you're cosplaying, why don't you dress up nicely instead of all looking like clowns?!"
And they even came to disgust her! In the middle of the night!
Chu Nian sat down while sorting through the original owner's memories.
Before she knew it, three large dark circles under her eyes "drifted" over. Chu Nian noticed that they were all moving around, and belatedly realized that her previous thoughts might have been too simplistic.
"You guys are ghosts!" Chu Nian exclaimed in realization.
A kindred spirit?! After traversing so many worlds, this is the first time she's finally met someone like her?!
She was even angrier, but she suppressed her temper and said to the three ghosts, "Listen to my advice, everyone. If you're going to be a ghost, be a beautiful one. You've made yourselves so ugly, you might as well hurry up and reincarnate. What's the point of being a ghost?!"
puff!
But the three ghosts clearly wouldn't listen to her advice, and one of them drifted to face her directly and started vomiting at her again.
Chu Nian turned her face away, her heart burning with rage: It is said that those ghosts steal the life force of humans by exhaling yin energy, and the humans who are exhaled will directly turn into corpses and have their souls leave their bodies.
But we're all the same kind of people, so what can I do if you keep vomiting?
puff!
puff!
The three ghosts clearly didn't see her as one of their own; they only wanted to turn her into one of their own by constantly exhaling their yin energy.
But Chu Nian had only one feeling: disgust!
She glanced at the shoes on the floor and noticed the insoles inside, as well as the socks on the bedside table, the smell of which proved they were still unwashed…
She picked up the socks, wrapped them up, and stuffed them into the mouth of the ghost that was still blowing on her. Then she bent down to get the insoles, wrapped them up, and stuffed them into the mouths of the other two ghosts.
Perhaps it was the peculiar smell, for after the three ghosts had their mouths stuffed for a moment, their eyes rolled back and they all collapsed, then disappeared with a thud.
This ghostly body is essentially nothingness; it is likely a spiritual force that condensed from the depths of a person's soul after death, a manifestation of their unwillingness to accept their fate. It is not the same as a human's actual physical body; once the person faints, the spiritual force dissipates, and the ghostly body naturally disappears as well.
The original owner of this body was named Bai Nian, a pitiful little thing who was scared to death by these three ugly ghosts.
This is the famous Jingting Apartment, a well-known high-end luxury community in S City. It is said that the price per square meter of the property has soared to 50,000 yuan. A 120-square-meter property like the one the original owner lived in is worth nearly 6 million yuan!
Therefore, to outsiders, the people who live here are all rich.
Bai Nian is not a rich person, just an ordinary working person. Although she is a senior executive in her boyfriend's company and earns a good income, she still cannot afford a property in such a luxury community. Moreover, the high property management fees alone are enough to make her suffer.
This property was a gift from her boyfriend, Li Feibai, as compensation for their breakup. In exchange, she had to agree to the breakup and leave the company.
