Xue Jinghan climbed up from Lü Ying's corpse, pulled back the dagger, and plunged it in again. She did this over a hundred times until the hole was empty and the flesh was a bloody mess, then Xue Jinghan stopped.
"I told you you can't touch her," Xue Jinghan said coldly.
"You did say that, but it wasn't me who did it, it was us who did it," Xue Jinghan said innocently.
Playing two roles, the cold-hearted Xue Jinghan said, "Shut up."
"Yunming, you're ridiculous," the innocent Xue Jinghan mocked.
Xue Jinghan's face contorted, and she stopped speaking, instead opening her mouth to laugh, the laughter gradually increasing in intensity. At this moment, the fire grew larger and larger, and Kunning Palace could no longer bear the weight. Xue Jinghan was crushed and burned to death.
Back in the dark space, Ji Xiaoxiao still felt a chill run down her spine. She shuddered, then slowly raised her hand, the slight trembling continuing for a long time.
"He's just an ordinary person, so why am I afraid of him?" Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't understand it. She had traveled through many worlds and had faced life and death countless times. She was used to mountain spirits, monsters, cultivators, and immortals. Why was she so terrified of a mortal?
"Sir, I have encountered a strange person."
Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out, so she could only leave it to the adults to think about.
Upon hearing this, the adult paused for a moment, then said coldly, "Are you afraid of him?"
"Yes," Ji Xiaoxiao nodded in response.
The usually composed adult was flustered and slightly uneasy. "You are already the soul of an immortal, and there is no possibility of cultivating immortality in Lü Ying's world. You would not be afraid of the people there, unless..."
The adult suddenly said in a deep voice, "Forget about this immediately, and never think about it again."

The adults didn't give Ji Xiaoxiao a chance to ask questions. Her own information flashed above her head, and she could only glance at it briefly before disappearing from the dark space.
The journey was far from pleasant. Ji Xiaoxiao, her head throbbing, was vaguely awakened by someone pushing her awake. Her eyelids fluttered, but she didn't open them. It felt as if she were in an endless desert, without a drop of water for a long time. Her body felt extremely heavy, and every breath she took was hot, burning her heart and lungs.
"Miss, it's Chenshi (7-9 AM), you should wake up. The old master and the others are waiting for you to have your meal!" The speaker's voice was soft and gentle, like a bouncy pudding, making one want to take a bite.
The person on the bed lay sprawled out, motionless and silent, appearing no different from a dead person at first glance. Her skin was as white as the moon, her hair as black as ink, her mouth and nose delicate and lovely, her eyelashes thick and neat, her eyelids slightly twitching, her brows furrowed gently, as if she were both angry and displeased.
"Sister Zhishu, Miss wants to sleep in again, what should we do?" Dali asked, slightly flustered.
Zhi Shu, a young woman of eighteen, was an elder of the Xie family and had her own way of dealing with the young lady who loved to sleep in. "Bring in the water and prepare the clothes."
Ji Xiaoxiao was in a deep sleep when she felt someone wiping her face. The cool and refreshing sensation dispelled much of her sleepiness and pain.
"Miss, you're awake!" Daryl exclaimed with a beaming smile.
Once the person is awake, everything becomes much easier.
Doing things yourself leads to abundance and speeds up the process considerably.
After washing up and getting dressed, Ji Xiaoxiao, led by her maid, passed through pavilions and towers, smelled the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, and finally arrived at the main hall.
The main hall was simply decorated, with a round table in the center, around which sat two men and a woman. The two men, one old and one middle-aged, were robust and had bright eyes; it was clear they were no ordinary people. The only woman was dressed in a blue gauze dress, her hair styled in a flowing updo, her face somewhat pale, and her lips slightly purple, clearly indicating she had been ill for a long time.
"Meimei, you're here. Are you hungry?"
The woman's eyes were filled with concern and affection as she reached out to Ji Xiaoxiao. After Ji Xiaoxiao sat down, the woman kept piling food onto her plate, showering her with concern and care. The stern-faced men remained silent, their eyes fixed on Ji Xiaoxiao as she ate her rice, their throats bobbing up and down, their lips curling into a smirk.
Ji Xiaoxiao, who hadn't absorbed the original owner's memories, suffered from severe stomach pain during the meal. She swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, thinking the peasants were finally liberated, but the matriarchal boss wasn't about to allow it.
"Meimei, what do you need Mom to prepare for the flower viewing party later?"
Ji Xiaoxiao remained silent. The older man raised his head and said arrogantly, "It's already a great honor that someone from my Xie family is attending the Li family's flower viewing party. What else do we need to prepare?"
"Father!" The woman and the middle-aged man called out in unison, their faces showing displeasure.
Ji Xiaoxiao took in the expressions and actions of the three people. Their deep love for the original owner was undeniable. Yet, they were so cautious, as if afraid of breaking or damaging Ji Xiaoxiao. Why? Health is the foundation of everything. After Ji Xiaoxiao's examination, the original owner was found to be perfectly healthy, the kind who could climb five flights of stairs without breaking a sweat.
Could it be that the Li family the old man mentioned has some unclear or ambiguous relationship with the original owner of this body?
