The Forest Continent.
The Southern Yue Kingdom.
The Ghost Street.
Pain!
Her head felt like it was exploding, and her body ached as if it had been run over by a truck, making her extremely uncomfortable!
Ye Feiran struggled to open her heavy eyes, only to see darkness.
She wrinkled her nose; the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
Hmm?
Where was this place? How did she end up here?
Wasn't she betrayed by a friend, ambushed by the enemy during a mission, and died in the explosion along with the enemy?
"Hisss"
In the next moment, Ye Feiran felt a sharp pain in her head, and large chunks of memories flooded her mind like a tidal wave.
What the hell!
She had actually jumped on the trend of reincarnation and was reborn, which was really too cliché!
However, cliché or not, the most important thing was that she was alive again, and nothing was more important than being alive.
She, who had died with the enemy, was reborn in the body of a girl also named "Ye Feiran."
The original Ye Feiran was the eldest daughter of the Ye family in the Southern Yue Kingdom. Her grandfather was a respected senior in the Southern Yue Kingdom, and both her parents had outstanding talents.
Unfortunately, her parents died in an accident, and her second uncle became the temporary head of the Ye family. The second aunt, Lady Zhu, and her two cousins, Ye Yuting and Ye Yuxi, always saw the original Ye Feiran as a thorn in their side because she was betrothed to the current crown prince, Huangfu Xian, from the womb.
Moreover, since the original Ye Feiran could not cultivate spiritual energy, she was regarded as a disgrace to the Ye family by everyone except the old patriarch. Therefore, outside the old patriarch's sight, her life was worse than a dog's!
Indeed, the Forest Continent revered martial power, admired the strong, and despised the weak.
Here, humans were divided into cultivators and ordinary people. Cultivators could cultivate spiritual energy, and the higher their cultivation level, the stronger their power, with no limit to their strength. Ordinary people, on the other hand, could not cultivate spiritual energy and were called "waste," like the original Ye Feiran.
In her previous life, Ye Feiran was a feared special agent. She didn't care about the original Ye Feiran's situation. She sneered; since she had taken over this body, she would seek justice for the original Ye Feiran and make those who bullied her pay the price!
At that moment, a faint sound of footsteps and muffled voices came from outside.
"Boss, are we really going to do this? Although this Miss Ye is a waste, she is still the betrothed of the crown prince. What if the crown prince finds out he's been cuckolded and kills us?"
"What are you afraid of? The crown prince has always been trying to get rid of Miss Ye. We might even receive a reward from him."
"Really? Oh, right. Second Miss Ye just told us that Miss Ye has been given the Love Flower poison. Second Miss Ye and the crown prince are deeply in love, so they will definitely give us extra rewards."
Hearing their conversation, Ye Feiran frowned slightly.
Love Flower poison?
She endured the intense pain in her body and felt her pulse.
Indeed, she had been given an aphrodisiac, but it hadn't taken effect yet.
A cold glint flashed in Ye Feiran's eyes as she quickly searched her memories.
Second sister? Third sister? Fiancé?
Good, very good! Wait for her!
The footsteps grew closer, and Ye Feiran's sharp eyes scanned the surroundings. She grabbed a hairpin that had been left on the side.
Soon, the two men approached Ye Feiran, and the dark, dilapidated temple was illuminated by their torches.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Although this waste is covered in blood, she is still quite beautiful. Hehe, little beauty, let big brother take good care of you!"
As he spoke, one of the men grinned wickedly and reached out to tear off Ye Feiran's clothes.
Just as his hand was about to touch her, Ye Feiran's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and a cold, sharp look flashed in her eyes.
"Looking for death!"
She grabbed the man's foot and pulled with all her strength, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Without hesitation, Ye Feiran sat up and struck the man's neck with her blood-soaked hands.
Bang!
The man's head tilted to the side, and he passed out completely.
The other man, holding a torch, stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his eyes bulging in shock like a dead fish.
Without delay, Ye Feiran used the same method to knock out the other man, who was still in shock.
These two weaklings dared to try to deal with her, a feared special agent from her previous life. It was simply ridiculous!
Estimating that the Love Flower poison was about to take effect, Ye Feiran quickly tied up the two men.
Wasn't Ye Yuting trying to ruin her innocence? She would use their own methods against them!
Leaving the temple, Ye Feiran cautiously surveyed the surroundings. From her memories, she knew this was the most famous Ghost Street in the outskirts of the capital.
The Ghost Street was lined with ghost houses and temples. It was said that one could see ghosts just by walking through the Ghost Street, so few people came here, especially after dark.
Hehe, Ye Yuting sure knew how to pick a place.
Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew, and Ye Feiran moved her nose, a hint of joy rising in her heart. She stepped into the ghost house on the east side of the Ghost Street.
The deeper she went, the stronger the smell of medicine in the air became.
By the moonlight, she could see that the ghost house contained a medicinal garden filled with various herbs.
Everything was too strange, and Ye Feiran had to be on high alert. She silently surveyed her surroundings, not making a sound.
In the next moment, a white figure quickly moved through the medicinal garden, quickly picking the herbs she needed.
Then, Ye Feiran found tools in the ghost house and skillfully ground the herbs into a medicinal juice, which she drank.
After a quarter of an hour, the Love Flower poison in Ye Feiran's body was neutralized.
Next, she took some healing medicine, as she had many injuries. She also prepared some knockout drugs, an upgraded version of the Love Flower poison, and an upgraded version of the rage powder, among other things she might need.
Finally, she brushed off the grass from her robe, glanced around, and politely said, "Thank you!"
With that, Ye Feiran turned and left gracefully.
Unbeknownst to her, a four-leaf clover, about the size of a finger, silently followed her, hopping along.
Ye Feiran returned to the ghost temple and quickly put the two men into a carriage, then drove it toward the Ye family residence based on her memories.
Meanwhile, the four-leaf clover had quietly entangled itself in Ye Feiran's black hair, its four leaves constantly swaying, showing a hint of excitement.
Whenever Ye Feiran turned her head to look back, the four-leaf clover would immediately hide, not revealing any trace of its presence.
Ye Feiran noticed nothing and frowned, muttering, "Strange, why do I keep feeling like someone is following me?"
Near the Ye family residence, Ye Feiran parked the carriage in a secluded and hidden place, then quietly climbed over the wall to return to the Ye family residence.
