I don't know how much time passed.
Quan Ji opened her eyes again. The cold around her was so intense it seemed to penetrate her skin. Before her lay a dark, gray dungeon.
Her hair was no longer as long as before, reaching only her back. Her eyes were light brown with a layer of sacred gold. In a single breath, her otherworldly beauty fully blossomed, radiant and captivating.
She glanced at the dark and damp mirror in front of her, her eyes narrowing.
Her hair reached just to her back, her graceful figure was wrapped in bandages, stained with blood, the red everywhere extremely eye-catching, like a flower on the other side of the river.
She was reborn.
Before she was conferred a saintly title, she maintained this appearance. Because she disliked open and covert struggles, was taciturn, and had a saintly younger sister to complement and guide her, she was regarded as a monster and a disgrace to the royal family.
She was not well-liked.
Now that I'm in the dungeon, then—it must be the day before the Holy Conferment, the day Quan Yao falsely accused me of seducing a wild man, December 30th, 501st year of the Empire.
The imperial princess, under the age of eighteen, seduced a wild man—this is a disgrace to the imperial family!
That day, Quan Zhan, without asking any questions or distinguishing right from wrong, severely beat the seventeen-year-old Quan Ji with fifty strokes of the cane and imprisoned her in the dungeon.
Fifty strokes of the cane!
This could even beat an adult to death!
But Princess Quan endured it all!
Just then, two lewd male voices appeared.
"Tomorrow is the Holy Conferment Ceremony. I wonder which princess the Holy Crystal will choose this time."
"Tsk tsk tsk, who else could it be but Princess Quan Yao? Everyone knows that our Holy Glory Empire's second princess is the most beautiful woman in the world, and is skilled in both literature and martial arts. You don't even know, when she dances the blessing dance... her posture is so captivating that even women would fall in love with her!"
"Haha, that's true. Compared to the useless eldest princess who can't even speak, Princess Quan Yao is truly a goddess descended to earth."
"You know what, that good-for-nothing Princess Quan is actually stunningly beautiful. In terms of looks alone... she's the most beautiful in the empire! It's said that His Majesty has already started planning to send Princess Quan away for a political marriage, hahaha!"
"A marriage alliance? That's too wasteful! Why don't we brothers have some fun first? Let's keep the good stuff in the family!"
...
The two, one tall and one short, entered the dungeon, their eyes filled with amazement the moment they saw Quan Ji.
This face truly is a femme fatale!
Quan Ji slowly opened her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, but her gaze was three degrees colder than the dungeon itself: "Am I beautiful?"
Looking at that smile, the two brothers felt their minds go blank and they could hardly breathe.
"Beautiful...beautiful!"
Quan Ji stood up and slowly approached the cage, her eyes gleaming with golden light.
"Then we..."
"Just playing around?!"
As she spoke, she grabbed one neck with each hand, her slender and long hands displaying astonishing strength, lifting both of them up at the same time.
The two instinctively raised their hands and grabbed Quan Ji's arm, rolling their eyes in discomfort.
Princess Quan… How could Princess Quan possibly have such strength… Doesn’t she never practice martial arts?!
Quan Ji snorted coldly and released the two of them.
The two collapsed to the ground, unable to recover for a while. When they came to their senses, they immediately pulled out their guns and pointed them at Quan Ji's head.
"How dare you lay a hand on us, you ungrateful wretch!"
Just as they were about to pull the trigger, Quan Ji pointed at the taller man, her lips curling slightly, and commanded:
"You, kill him."
She pointed at the short man.
The short man paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... Princess Quan, what are you joking about? Have you really lost your mind? How could my brother..."
Bang--!
Before the short man could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out throughout the dungeon, echoing endlessly. His body fell to the ground, deathly still lingering.
He would never know until his death that Princess Quan Ji, universally acknowledged as a useless person by the entire empire, was actually the rarest psychic ability user!
