In the dungeon of the General's Mansion of the Xi Ning Kingdom.
"Nian Nian, why have you brought me here? The auspicious hour is almost upon us, I need to wed the Third Prince!"
The woman surveyed her surroundings with a face filled with fear, and her voice was noticeably trembling.
Slap!
A slap echoed throughout the dungeon, and the woman immediately fell to the ground, her ears still ringing.
"Marry? You think you're fit to marry the Third Prince? Just look at yourself! How do you compare to our young miss?"
A smug look bloomed across the face of the nearby maid, looking down on her in disdain.
"Nian Nian, didn't you... didn't you say that you would bestow me and the Third Prince your blessings?"
Overwhelmed with disbelief, Mu Jianxin stared fixedly at the well-dressed woman standing behind the maid. Her eyes filled with hope as she looked at her. She knew her sister adored the Third Prince but hadn't she promised not to interfere and wished her for the best?
Nevertheless, the woman didn't say a word, instead, she gave the maid a chilling glance.
The maid understood, a sly smile appearing on her face. She languidly pulled out a 10-inch dagger from her waist, gradually making her way over: "Miss, allow me to effectively make you understand your place."
Seeing the maid approaching, Mu Jianxin desperately tried to back away. But, she was so terrified that her legs could barely support her, the most she could do was to drag herself on the ground.
Ah--
With a large stride, the maid stepped on Mu Jianxin's foot. The woman shrieked in pain.
At this moment, the elegantly dressed girl standing at a distance coldly commanded, "Cripple her!"
The maid prostrated without hesitation, reversing her hand to grip the knife handle, forcefully cutting open her lady's face, the woman's flesh rolled out revealing open wounds, with blood flowing profusely.
"No! Don't!"
Mu Jianxin’s heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the dungeon but fell upon deaf ears. No one will be her savior in this place. At this moment, everyone else was busy preparing for the wedding. Today indeed was the joyous day of her nuptial with the third prince!
Ignoring Mu Jianxin’s agonizing screams, the maid savagely inflicted two more wounds on her face, taunting her as she did so.
"Mistress, do you think the Third Prince would still want to marry you now?"
The face of Mu Jianxin was now a grotesque blur of blood and flesh, her vision blurring as she witness her own blood.
"Third... Prince wouldn't do... such..."
Mu Jianxin managed to mutter a few words, the pain on her face became a dull numb, but the simple act of speaking was enough to hurt to the point of breathlessness.
"Shut up! How dare you call the Third Prince by his title?"
Suddenly, a lavishly dressed young lady burst in front of Mu Jianxin, glaring at her. The murderous intent in her ravishing face was poorly concealed.
After saying this, the young girl snatched the knife from the maid's hand without hesitation and thrust it into Mu Jianxin’s chest. Her eyes sparkling with hatred, startling Mu Jianxin, could her own sister hate her this much?
"From now on, I'm the lady of the General's Mansion, and the Third Prince is my husband!”
The young girl let out a cold laugh, then pulled out the dagger, blood gushed from Mu Jianxin’s chest.
“You...”
Feeling warmth in her chest, Mu Jianxin saw her blood gush out profusely. She fell sideways to the ground and took her last breath.
The young girl swiftly stepped back, pulling out her handkerchief with a look of repulsion, gently wiping the blood off her hands.
"Green Willow, deal with the corpse!"
She issued her instructions coldly before stepping out of the dungeon.
Green Willow stepped forward to follow the order, pulling out a small white bottle from her waist. She gently uncorked it, revealing a top-grade corpse-dissolving solution. Just a few drops would be enough to obliterate any traces.
But at that moment, a streak of golden light flashed from the body of Mu Jianxin. This startled Green Willow, causing her to retreat several steps backward!
Seeing the figure on the ground seem to stir, Green Willow hurriedly rubbed her eyes, thinking it was her delusion.
Summoning her courage, Green Willow stepped forward again. Her young mistress was waiting outside; she needed to complete her task quickly.
But to her surprise, the bloody figure of Mu Jianxin suddenly sat up, her cold eyes scanning her surroundings.
"Aah! Ghost!"
Green Willow, in her panic, stumbled and scrambled her way out of the room.
Ouch!
Her face hurt, her mouth hurt, even her heart hurt!
The strong smell of blood, coupled with the pain in her body, caused her to gasp. She lifted her scarred face, her cold eyes glided over her body, and she let out a soft laugh. She was still alive!
She, Mu Jianxin, a renowned doctor living in the 32nd century was supposedly dead because of a poisonous reaction while developing a drug test.
But surprisingly, she hasn't died completely and, instead, found herself in the body of a hopeless woman with the same name. It seems fate has been rather generous to her, but the woman's injuries were severe!
At the same time, the original host's memories flooded into her mind.
This place was the General's Mansion in the Xi Ning Nation, and the original host was the unwanted and foolish young lady of the mansion. Her sister, Mu Nian Nian, was skilled in all forms of arts and a recognized talent in Ning City. However, she was just a parvenu. Despite this, the original host was engaged to the third Prince, and on the day of their wedding, she was led into the dungeon and murdered!
Coincidentally, today everyone in the General's Mansion was busy preparing for the wedding.
In just a short time, Mu Jian Xin understood the whole situation, her face growing even colder. With a glance, she noticed the escaping Lu Liu, picked up a blood-stained knife from the ground with one hand, and threw it directly towards Lu Liu.
Swish!
Ahh——
Two voices rang out simultaneously. The dagger pierced Lu Liu's calf, causing her to instantly fall to the ground.
Unbeknownst to her, Mu Jian Xin was already standing in front of her, looking down at her from a high position.
Lu Liu was trembling all over, not daring to look at Mu Jian Xin's appearance!
She was now covered in blood, coupled with that terrifying gaze, she looked like a soul-reaping demon from hell!
"I beg you... It wasn't me, it wasn't me! This is all second Missy's doing, I have nothing to do with it!"
Lu Liu continued to beg for mercy, revealing the mastermind behind it all.
Mu Jian Xin was coldly staring at her, then suddenly leaned closer. A hint of a smile crossed her disfigured face, but no matter how you looked at it, it was chilling.
"I recall it was you who cut my face!"
As soon as these words fell, she pulled the knife out from Lu Liu's foot, and without any hesitation, she directed it towards her face and slashed it fiercely a few times!
"No, please don't!"
Green Willow pleaded desperately, but An Mu Jianxin, devoid of mercy, uttered coldly, "A debt of blood must be paid in blood."
And then she added, "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you."
Green Willow was already petrified, but that didn't stop her from pleading instinctively.
But An Mu Jianxin scoffed dismissively, "Spare you? Why, when I begged for mercy from you, you didn't spare me? How does it feel when a blade slices across your face? And the warmth of the blood trickling down your cheek, isn't it pleasant?"
"No... please stop..."
With a wound in her leg, Green Willow had no chance to flee.
"You want me to stop?"
A slight smirk tugged at An Mu Jianxin's lips as she picked up her words.
Green Willow couldn’t hold on any longer and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
At this point, An Mu Jianxin noticed a small white bottle near Green Willow's foot. She picked it up, smelled it carefully. Seeing her expression change abruptly, she uttered coldly, "Corpse-dissolving liquid? How fitting."
With these words, she poured it on Green Willow's body. The sizzling sound of the body dissolving filled the air, accompanied by Green Willow’s screams. However, it only took a moment for her body to melt into a pool of blood.
After finishing all this, An Mu Jianxin stepped out of the dungeon. The dazzling sunlight forced her to raise her hand instinctively to shield her eyes. The pain on her face and body made her crinkle her brows.
She must quickly find a place to stop the bleeding; otherwise, her face would be disfigured. As for An NianNian, she could be carefree for a while!
