Chapter 1

New books are out, comrades, we have gathered once again to embark on a new journey. Come, let us create new glories.

The sun had not yet shown a hint of red; the sky was just beginning to turn a pale white.

A small river meandered through the town of Lyra, which was nestled at the foot of Lyra Mountain. The mountain was extremely similar to an ancient zither, said to have been a zither that fell from the heavens in ancient times and transformed into a mountain peak, hence the name Lyra Mountain. The town of Lyra was named after this.

At the eastern end of Lyra Town, by the river, there was an estate, the residence of the seventh princess of the Moonlight Kingdom, Qin Shuang. The entire town of Lyra was her fief.

At this moment, in the princess's bedroom, a pale-faced girl lay on the bed, her eyes wide and bewildered, staring at a middle-aged woman who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

The middle-aged woman moved, opened her eyes, and leaned back against the chair. Looking at the girl on the bed, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, and she said softly:

"Your Highness, since your body is weak and you are unwilling to practice martial arts, then read books."

After speaking, she stood up wearily, walked out dejectedly, and gently closed the door, blocking the girl's view.

The girl lay on the bed, her gaze still bewildered. Two sets of memories intertwined in her consciousness, a source of confusion since she had woken up.

She was a master of swordsmanship, named Liu Meiruo, known as the Goddess of War. She clearly remembered that a month ago, an anomaly appeared in the Wailing Mountains, with red light occasionally shooting into the sky. She and a few friends went to investigate but encountered a landslide.

A landslide was not insurmountable for them, these top experts, but after the landslide, a huge stone stele appeared, inscribed with three large characters:

"Merit Stele"

In their view, the Merit Stele expanded and contracted, ultimately exploding violently. She died in this explosion but mysteriously found herself in this world, both unfamiliar and familiar. Another set of memories told her that the girl whose body she now occupied was named Qin Shuang, the seventh princess of the Moonlight Kingdom.

The seventh princess was naturally lazy, always sitting when she could and lying down when she could. As a result, she was as fat as a pig, becoming a laughingstock in the royal family. The reason for this was known by everyone in the royal family: Qin Shuang's meridians were blocked, making her unable to cultivate. Thus, the seventh princess gave up.

In the end, the Queen of the Moonlight Kingdom, Qin Xianyue, granted the distant town of Lyra to the seventh princess, sending her away from the capital to avoid the sight and the trouble.

The middle-aged woman was her wet nurse, named Qin Ying. However, she was not at all heroic, being only in the Tendon Strengthening stage at the age of forty. But she was very strict with herself, training rigorously every day. Not only was she strict with herself, but also with the seventh princess. Qin Shuang was raised by her, and she did not want Qin Shuang to be mediocre, even though she knew that Qin Shuang's cultivation would be futile, she still held a glimmer of hope.

Qin Shuang, who was forced to come to her fief, was only thirteen years old. The queen no longer paid attention to her. Although this was her fief, she had no authority here, making her a truly weak individual. In the past, in the palace, Qin Ying did not dare to train Qin Shuang, but now, far from the palace, she had no reservations. Thus, under Qin Ying's coercion, Qin Shuang had to train unwillingly.

However,

After training for less than two months, the fat and lazy Qin Shuang, who had never trained seriously before, could not bear the strain and died. Then Liu Meiruo's consciousness took over Qin Shuang's body.

"Bang"

The door was pushed open forcefully, and a girl about the same age as Qin Shuang rushed in. Liu Meiruo felt that the girl's face was both unfamiliar and familiar.

"Princess, get up quickly, a demon Taoist was killed in the town."

"Demon Taoist?"

Liu Meiruo's mind was still muddled, and she had not yet sorted out many things, so she did not want to go out, preferring to stay and think things through quietly.

"Princess, get up quickly," the girl said, pulling Liu Meiruo's arm. "The adults say that our town has never had a demon Taoist before. Everyone is going to see the commotion. Let's go too."

Liu Meiruo thought for a moment. If everyone went and she, at her age, did not go to see the commotion, it might raise suspicions. So she got up from the bed, put on her clothes, and was pulled out by the girl. Her fat body trembled with every step, like waves surging.

In her memory, the girl was named Qin Yunxia, one of her maids. The two ran out of the estate and followed the riverbank towards the west.

Many people had already gathered by the river. Liu Meiruo, pulled by Qin Yunxia, struggled to push her way through the crowd, hearing some martial artists discussing loudly:

"There really is a demon Taoist."

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. The demon Taoist was discovered by the elders of the Martial Ancestor Hall and chased all the way here. The demon Taoist could emit fist-sized fireballs out of thin air, but was ultimately killed by the elders of the Martial Ancestor Hall. The body was taken away by the elders. Look."

At this point, the young man, spitting out saliva, pointed to a charred spot on a tree trunk and said, "This is where the fireball hit, burning the tree trunk. The demon Taoist's abilities are truly terrifying."

The faces of the people around him showed fear and disgust, and they dispersed noisily. Qin Yunxia also pulled Liu Meiruo's hand and said:

"Princess, let's go back."

Liu Meiruo looked at the clear river, feeling her mood ease, and thought about quietly sorting out her memories. She said softly:

"Yunxia, go back first. I'll walk around here."

Qin Yunxia shook her head, "Princess, no. I must follow you."

"I want to be alone," Liu Meiruo's face darkened. "If you don't want to go back, wait here, but don't follow me."

In Qin Yunxia's memory, she had never seen Qin Shuang's face darken; she always had a simple, honest look. Now, seeing Qin Shuang's face darken, she nodded involuntarily:

"Okay."

She released Liu Meiruo's hand and stood obediently under a large tree. Looking at Qin Yunxia's pitiful appearance, Liu Meiruo sighed softly and slowly turned, walking aimlessly, searching for Qin Shuang's memories in her consciousness.

This was a world of gender equality, known as the Glorious Age. The current ruler of the Moonlight Kingdom was Qin Shuang's mother, Queen Qin Xianyue.

This was a world where scholars and martial artists rose together, known as the Martial Continent.

Scholars had their own holy place, known as the Confucian Ancestor, who governed the world.

Martial artists had their own holy place, known as the Martial Ancestor, who expanded the territory and protected the homeland.

However, the balance was tilted towards martial artists, as scholars rarely lived past a hundred years, while martial artists could extend their lives through their strength. Some Martial Ancestor experts were said to be able to split mountains and cut through water, abilities that exceeded human understanding. Thus, scholars were always inferior to martial artists, leading to the dominance of martial artists and a martial culture across the continent.

Qin Shuang had no memory of demon Taoists. It seemed that Qin Yunxia was right; demon Taoists had never appeared in Lyra Town, and a thirteen-year-old Qin Shuang naturally had no memory of them. Liu Meiruo's memories only included some legends about demon Taoists. In her previous life, she was a solitary person with no background, so she did not know much about these legends.

The rise of scholars and martial artists, gender equality, this was an exciting world.

Peace and prosperity, a time of blooming, this was the best of times.

Liu Meiruo's confused eyes, after her death and possession of Qin Shuang's body, gradually became clear, sparkling with excitement. This was still the continent of her previous life:

The Martial Continent.

She had not left this world, but

The timing was wrong; she had come fifteen years later. That is, the incident of her being killed by the Merit Stele had already passed fifteen years. At the time, it caused a sensation across the Martial Continent, and even now, people still talked about it over tea and after meals. Even the thirteen-year-old Qin Shuang had heard the story.

It was said that after the explosion, various martial artists came to investigate but could not find the Merit Stele. Instead, they found a young child in the mountains, who was taken in by the Martial Ancestor Hall.

Liu Meiruo's eyes suddenly narrowed. She remembered the fate of the demon Taoist and felt a sense of caution. It seemed that this world had become dangerous, extremely dangerous. Thinking of her new identity, Liu Meiruo's body trembled slightly. She must not let anyone know her secret. From today on, she must remember:

My name is Qin Shuang.

She stopped, looked around, and found herself in a forest. Her gaze fell on a strip of cloth hanging from a bush. Just as she was about to look away, she noticed something in the bush. She walked forward, carefully parted the bush, and saw a bag. She took the bag, opened it gently, and found a thin book, a book, a notebook, some silver coins, and other miscellaneous items.

She took out the thin book, which was not made of ordinary paper but of sheepskin. On the first page, two characters were written:

"Daoist Techniques."

Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on Qin Shuang's face. She immediately thought of the words "demon Taoist." She hurriedly stuffed the sheepskin book back into the bag, threw the bag back into the bush, and ran out of the forest.

After running a dozen steps, she stopped, turned back to look at the bag in the bush, her heart pounding. She remembered the young man's story about the demon Taoist's ability to release fireballs, and the fact that this body could not cultivate. As a martial god in her previous life, she could not lose her strength in this life. Her eyes gradually revealed a look of hope.

After a dozen breaths, Qin Shuang's eyes showed determination. She looked around cautiously and, seeing no one, walked step by step towards the bush, reaching out her hand again towards the bag.
