Boom boom

The continuous loud noises echoed in Gu Yanfei's ears.

Her eardrums were buzzing and the ground beneath her was vibrating violently.

She felt excruciating pain all over her limbs, as if a carriage was running over her.

Gu Yanfei opened her eyes with great effort. Blood covered her left eye like a veil, and her vision was blurred.

Gray dust filled the air.

The surroundings were in a mess and the narrow, dilapidated carriage was shaky.

"Second Miss..."

A low groan came into Gu Yanfei's ears, weak and powerless.

This female voice is so familiar, yet so strange.

Gu Yanfei's pupils contracted and his body shook slightly.

She slowly turned her head and saw a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old in an emerald green skirt lying on her right side. Her hair was disheveled and one arm was protectively wrapped around Gu Yanfei's waist.

The girl in green was facing downwards, so her face couldn't be seen clearly, but Gu Yanfei was sure of her identity just by looking at her figure.

It was Juanbi, her former maid.

The pain in her body reminded her that what she saw was not an illusion or a dream.

She actually came back, from the Yaoling Realm to the Dajing Dynasty, and returned to her previous life.

In her previous life, she only lived for a dozen years. It was not until after her death that she realized that she was just a cannon fodder female supporting role in the novel "The Phoenix Road in the Golden Age".

Her short life was a joke.

She was obviously the legitimate daughter of Marquis Dingyuan and should have been the apple of her parents' and relatives' eyes. However, she was secretly switched at birth and grew up in poverty.

It was not until she was fourteen years old that the Marquis's Mansion discovered the truth about the swapping of the real and fake daughters, and sent the housekeeper to Huaibei to bring her back.

Back then, she traveled thousands of miles to the capital with great admiration for her blood relatives, but she had no idea that there was no place for her in the Marquis' Mansion.

The fake daughter Gu Yunyan who grew up in the Marquis' Mansion instead of her was brought up in the pampering of the Gu family. She is the apple of the Gu family's eye and the heroine of this novel.

As the heroine, Gu Yunmeng is not only a girl of luck, but also resourceful, self-respecting, and famous in the capital, attracting many young talents to fall in love with her. The hero, King Kang, has a special liking for her. After many twists and turns, the two finally get married.

In contrast, Gu Yanfei grew up in the countryside, was dull and ignorant, and had nothing except being a descendant of the Gu family. Her existence seemed to be merely to highlight the heroine's extraordinary and otherworldly nature.

The past events from long, long ago flashed through Gu Yanfei's mind quickly...

In her previous life, she was a short-lived person who was plotted, framed, and trampled upon... She was the stepping stone for Gu Yun'er to reach the top.

In the end, she ended up dying from being pierced by thousands of arrows.

After her death, her soul wandered in the world, watching the Gu family fall into decline, watching Gu Yunzhen help King Kang win the struggle for imperial power, King Kang ascended the throne to become emperor, and Gu Yunzhen was canonized as queen, ruling the world.

Gu Yanfei was just a ghost, he could only watch and could do nothing...

Later, she was finally reincarnated and came to the Yaoling Realm with the memories of this life.

Two hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. She had finally achieved the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir. However, when she was about to reach the Nascent Soul stage, her inner demons flared up and she was struck back to her first life by the ninth heavenly thunder.

She had never thought that she could come back again, back to "this day" when she was fourteen years old! She still remembered what happened on "this day", how could she forget it! ! At this time, she had already left Huaibei and had not yet arrived in Beijing. The housekeeper left her in Danyang City halfway, saying that she had to learn the rules first.

She stayed in Danyang City for three full months, and during this period, the maid who served her was Juanbi.

She clearly remembered that in the afternoon of that day, the carriage she was riding in fell from a cliff hundreds of feet high due to a landslide. Both the carriage and the horses were destroyed, and she was the only one in the carriage who survived by chance.

At that time, she thought it was just a tragic accident, but she didn't know that all this was a conspiracy carefully planned by Prince Fang Mingfeng of England to take her life.

It was because the person he liked was the fake daughter Gu Yunyan, but due to family interests, he had to get engaged to her, Gu Yanfei.

He couldn't resist his family, so he could only take advantage of the weak.

"Soft persimmon" Gu Yanfei pursed his lips, endured the discomfort and sat up. The blood in his heart surged violently, as if the sea was surging.

After she reincarnated into the Yaoling Realm, she was still unable to let go. Gradually, the unfulfilled wishes and regrets of this life became her inner demons.

Even though many past events have become blurred and irrelevant over the years, the "inner demon" still exists in her heart.

Probably because of this, she failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage...

Perhaps because of this, God brought her back to this world.

Now that you are here, make the most of it.

Gu Yanfei quickly adjusted his breathing and soon calmed down, his eyes becoming deep.

"Juanbi!" she shouted, and quickly turned Juanbi's petite body over and let her lie flat on the wool carpet.

What caught her eyes was Juanbi's round face with a bit of naivety, her complexion was as pale as paper, her plump lips were faintly tinged with grayish purple, and a few strands of black hair stained with blood and dust were scattered messily on her face.

Her breathing was extremely weak, the movement of her nostrils was barely noticeable, and mouthfuls of bright red blood flowed from her lips, flowing down her chin and neck, as if she would die in the next moment.

Gu Yanfei placed three fingers firmly on Juanbi's wrist, concentrating on feeling the weak and slow pulse under his fingers.

Juanbi not only suffered external injuries, but also multiple fractures in his body and a hemorrhage in his spleen. He was almost at the gate of death. Even if Hua Tuo were alive again, he would be helpless.

In the previous life, Juanbi died.

She couldn't save Juanbi, and could only watch her take her last breath, crying.

Tears can't save anyone.

Gu Yanfei pursed his lips, quickly tore a strip from a book beside him, bit his finger, forced out his blood, and drew a series of strange earthworm-like runes on the strip in a flamboyant manner, completing it in one go.

Then, she gently tapped the rune on Juanbi's Baihui acupoint and uttered four words slowly: "Juanbi, wake up."

In this narrow space, her voice was ethereal and sacred, like the sound of nature.

As the words fell, a bright orange flame suddenly ignited at the corner of the talisman paper written in blood, and burned out in the blink of an eye.

“……” Juanbi’s closed eyelids trembled, her eyelashes moved slightly, and a low moan escaped from her mouth.
