Gradually, as you exert more force, your limbs slowly cease to belong to you. Before long, your bones, flesh, tendons, and veins become entangled, and you look at each other with tearful eyes, separated by vast distances.
Ji Xiaoxiao's face grew paler and paler, and her whole body became more and more transparent, as if a gentle breeze could carry her away and make her disappear into the sky.
The man did not take Ji Xiaoxiao's life, but only punished her slightly. The cruel punishment of being torn apart by five horses was replaced with a sun bath, and her torn body slowly healed.
Having realized how terrifying that person was, Ji Xiaoxiao no longer dared to be careless. With a "thud," she prostrated herself on the ground, expressing her utmost loyalty, "Master, I know I was wrong, please accept my humble knees!"
Long ago, Ji Xiaoxiao stopped caring about her humble origins as an orphan. Born in an orphanage, Ji Xiaoxiao learned the coldness of human relationships, the survival skills of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and the humility of a child who valued dignity and had to be subservient to others.
"You're certainly smarter than everyone else." The man's voice echoed in the empty space, cold and ruthless yet giving Ji Xiaoxiao a sliver of warmth. "What I say goes. Don't even think about bargaining with me. In the three thousand worlds, with countless planes, people are the resource that's least lacking. You're not unique."
It's not unique, so whether it exists or not is irrelevant.
Ji Xiaoxiao, whose Chinese language skills had always hovered around 60 points, surprisingly scored 90 points and immediately understood the profound meaning in the wise man's words.
After a while, the man continued, "Also, don't call me 'Master.' I am the great Dark Dragon Knight, and I allow you to call me Lord Dark Dragon Knight."
"Yes, Your Excellency Dark Dragon Knight." Ji Xiaoxiao, trying her best to appear trembling, knew that saying too much would lead to mistakes, so she replied in accordance with the Dark Dragon Knight's wishes.
The Dark Dragon Knight is a supreme being, unparalleled in the world, and cannot stand anyone who acts arrogantly or haughtily in front of him, as if he/she were the landlord of three acres of fertile land, while the Dark Dragon Knight is a simple and kind farmer who has been exploited by the slave system.
Ji Xiaoxiao knows how to behave, and the Dark Dragon Knight wouldn't take pleasure in bullying her.
The leader, high above and mighty, casually announced the amount of this year's year-end bonus, adding, "Of course, if you complete the tasks I assign you, you'll also receive a reward, such as being sent back home or helping you become a god."
Before Ji Xiaoxiao could speak, the Dark Dragon Knight seemed to want something fun, his cold voice revealing a hint of joy, "You can refuse, and I'll send you to be reincarnated. However, let me kindly remind you, you committed too many sins in your previous life, and you will be reborn as an animal in your next life. After reincarnation, you will either be an insect or a lazy, gluttonous sow."
Ji Xiaoxiao, whose hands were stained with blood, already knew she was going to die a violent death. However, as a cute and beautiful girl, neither insects nor sows were what she wanted!
Not for the sweet words of reward for completing the mission from the Dark Dragon Knight, but also for her own dignity as a human being, Ji Xiaoxiao eagerly replied, "Dark Dragon Knight, I am willing to offer my strength to you."
"Alright then!" The Dark Dragon Knight seemed a little downcast at not being able to see Ji Xiaoxiao turn into an insect sow.
After he finished speaking, the expert continued, "What you need to do is very simple. I will send you to another world. You just need to fulfill the wishes of the former owner of the body you possessed. If you succeed, I will give you a reward. If you fail, I will record a beautiful, gorgeous, and soul-stirring scene of a sow being slaughtered and send it to you for free."
Suddenly, a pig-slaughtering knife appeared in the space, flashing with the cold light of steel. The sharp tip of the knife quickly and accurately pierced the neck of a pig, and warm blood sprayed all over Ji Xiaoxiao's face.
"Ah!" Ji Xiaoxiao exclaimed, hurriedly saying to the expert, "Dark Dragon Knight, I can't wait to contribute to your imperial ambitions! Please begin the mission!"
After Ji Xiaoxiao finished her flattery, she heard the Dark Dragon Knight say "Alright" as if he was suppressing a laugh, and then Ji Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared into the space.
As Ji Xiaoxiao disappeared, the Dark Dragon Knight muttered to himself, "Quite an interesting person!"
Unaware of the Dark Dragon Knight's positive assessment, Ji Xiaoxiao regained consciousness amidst a dizzy and disoriented state. Before she could recover, a vast amount of memories flooded her mind like a tidal wave.
After a long while, Ji Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, her face showing a mixture of distress and delight.
Ji Xiaoxiao is still called Ji Xiaoxiao, but the difference is that in this world, Ji Xiaoxiao has both parents and a harmonious family. More importantly, Ji Xiaoxiao is a rich heiress.
The Ji family is a well-known family in City A, with businesses spanning various industries. Money, status, and fame—Ji Xiaoxiao lacks nothing.
Ji Xiaoxiao lived a carefree and high-quality life, with her parents being very loving, and she being their only child. From a young age, Ji Xiaoxiao, born extraordinary and showered with love, grew up in a sweet environment, unaware of the hardships of life.
Ji Xiaoxiao, a delicate flower withering and filled with regret, is now entangled with her two childhood sweethearts. Childhood Sweetheart Number One – Lin Hengfeng, the eldest son of the Lin family, a domineering, wealthy, arrogant, cool, and cunning CEO. Childhood Sweetheart Number Two – Wang Tiansheng, the designated heir of the Wang family, a gentle, handsome, kind, harmless, and considerate companion.
The Ji, Lin, and Wang families are known as the three major families in City A. The younger generation in these families can play together, which is something the elders are happy to see, since business people need connections to do business.
As the three grew up, Ji Xiaoxiao, experiencing her first stirrings of love, fell for Lin Hengfeng, who embodied the domineering CEO throughout. Handsome, domineering, cunning, wealthy, gentle yet playful, and with a touch of masculine charm, he perfectly matched a teenage girl's fantasy of her future prince charming.
Encouraged by her friends, Ji Xiaoxiao confessed her feelings to Lin Hengfeng. Lin Hengfeng was evasive, and Ji Xiaoxiao, unable to get an immediate answer from him, grew anxious and restless, waiting impatiently until she was practically a statue waiting for her husband. Upon learning that Ji Xiaoxiao had confessed to Lin Hengfeng, Wang Tiansheng was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning, his head spinning, utterly disoriented.
