s meeting ended successfully. Wanliang left with the listening devices removed from the lion.Of all the listening devices, the one without a traceable origin should hold a clue. He was determined to f...Li Jizu's anguished voice rang out, and the ripples had already landed a punch squarely on his opponent's abdomen. The blow left him gasping for air like a choked duck, wincing in pain and only able to utter moans.

Perhaps inspired by Li Jizu, the servants, as long as they still had breath, began to shout for help at the top of their lungs, already alarming several nearby families.

"Humph! I was going to let you live a little longer, but since you don't want to, then so be it!"

Ripples murmured, directly slashing Li Jizu's throat with a single blade. She threw everything he carried into space and then struck the screaming servants, sending them to meet Yama.

Noticing someone with a lantern approaching, Ripples quickly took everything that could prove their identity from these people before disappearing into the alley and sprinting towards the back alleys of her house.

Having squeezed through the dog hole and entered the backyard, she sealed it back up. With barely a ripple, Lian Yi returned to her own room. She tossed her blood-stained clothes into the spatial storage, hid her dagger, and burrowed under the covers. Only then did she close her eyes and let out a sigh of relief. The first tribulation of her original body had been avoided.

Subsequently, the ripples continued to absorb the remaining memories of the original body. Due to the massacre of the Wu family, the original body had no choice but to follow Li Jizzu back to the capital.

Because the steward wasn't at home that night, he escaped unharmed. In the end, he chose to stay at the Wu residence and guard the courtyard. He sold off his assets, such as the rice shop and storefront—all visible holdings—and gave the proceeds to his original owner, which could be considered travel expenses for her journey to her relatives.

Even with his hidden private fortune added, Wu Youcai was treated well by the Li family for a while after arriving. Sadly, this good time didn't last. Once the silver ran out, the Li family started subtly asking about the whereabouts of Wu Youcai's other assets.

At that time, the original body was already fourteen years old and had long been aware of the treacherous intentions of the Li family. How could they tell these people their father's last words So, taking advantage of being younger, she asked questions naively and innocently.

Adding to that day's massacre, whenever she mentioned past events, her head would ache, her face would turn pale, and within two hours, she would faint.

The Li family was now a bit dumbfounded. They sought out a renowned physician for treatment. The old doctor, who had some skill, said that the original person suffered from anxiety disorder, which was a sequelae left by stimulation. Because they were too afraid, their brain would ache whenever they recalled the scene at that time, and they deliberately avoided it.

Li Jizi knew deep down that this was the consequence of his actions that day. His killing spree had left almost no one alive. If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't found any valuables, his little cousin might have also met her end then. Facing a courtyard filled with corpses and blood would certainly lead to something like this neurotic disorder.

The original person thought that with this phobia in front, the Li family would lay down their arms and cease their aggression. Unfortunately, she underestimated the greed and cruelty of human hearts.

At that time, the emperor of Yan started to be obsessed with longevity and beauty secrets. He invited many Taoists from all over to his palace to preach and concoct elixir of immortality, hoping to continue enjoying the wealth and splendor of human life.

Initially, the situation was chaotic. The common people began visiting temples and offering sacrifices, inviting Taoist priests into their homes. The Li family even hired an old Daoist nun. This nun promised to help the original owner regain his memories and acquire the ten thousand taels of silver, but she also put forward a condition.

The Taoist nun said that this method was somewhat harmful to one's yin virtue. She wanted to use spells to ask the soul of Li Jia's cousin, so if the spell worked, she would die. Therefore, her family must make proper arrangements for her funeral.

Secondly, since it's a question of the soul, her wisp of divine essence must certainly be parasitic on this young mistress. It will wait for its soul to recover before being reborn.

Therefore, the Li family must treat this cousin well. If they harm her and prevent her from reincarnating, she will unleash the most vicious curses upon them, making the Li family pay the price.

The Li family, eager to acquire all of Wu Youcai's possessions, readily agreed. They prepared the items needed for the ritual according to the Taoist priestess's instructions. On a night when the moon was obscured by clouds and the wind howled fiercely, they performed the spell under the cover of darkness.

When she awoke, she found herself imprisoned within a blood-drawn formation. A black mist was seeping into her body, and she felt herself becoming light, as if leaving her physical form. But the next instant, a black hand pulled her back.

Then the original body felt its consciousness becoming increasingly blurred until it completely disappeared. When the original body woke up again, she was at the execution ground, being beheaded amidst the jeers of the crowd.

The memories of the original body end here, the ripples are confirmed. This should be the last thing the original body saw before death.

"Nineteen, was the original soul devoured or did it fall into a slumber"

As a former Grandmaster, Ripples was still very perceptive.

She had fallen into a deep sleep and her body was controlled by the Taoist nun, who took a portion of the Wu family's wealth. At sixteen years old, she was sent to the palace.

Because the protagonist was born beautiful and had a mature soul bestowed by the old Daoist priestess, coupled with her knowledge of some Daoist techniques, she completely captivated the emperor. He fell head over heels for her and built pavilions, towers, and palaces for her, even those meant for ascension after death. In short, he spared no expense to please her, no matter how much it burdened the people.

After this whole ordeal, the treasury was depleted, the emperor did not come to court, taxes were raised again and again, officials at all levels exploited the people, and in the end, the people suffered greatly. Even the Taoist priest who had used the original body was called a "national calamity demon concubine"!

To quell the people's uprising, the crown prince could only advise killing the original owner, this favored concubine, to appease public anger. The old emperor was also afraid, worried that his throne would be lost. Under the crown prince's strong demands, the original owner was killed.

Before the original body was executed, the other party changed into a new body and replaced the crown prince. When the original body woke up, she was greeted by the execution platform. She denied her mistakes, but unfortunately, no one believed her. In the end, she met an unfortunate end of being beheaded.

The eldest prince took advantage of the situation to eliminate the old emperor and then began to wage war to sustain his people, conquering everywhere. He brought chaos to the world, and neighboring countries were successively drawn into the vortex of war, nearly bringing this world to its knees. You know how heavy the resentment of the common people was, which is why you received this mission.

The ripples had already opened her eyes and, after listening to the explanation from the millstone, she casually said:

"That nun has problems, or that soul has problems."

"Congratulations, tasker, on discovering the main quest: Eradicate that demonic entity and prevent this plane from succumbing to chaos."

"What about the original body's desire"

The ripples didn't answer, and asked another question:

"The original body's desire was simple, she just wanted to keep the property left by her father and live a free, peaceful and happy life, without being schemed against by the Li family. After all, when her body was invaded, she was only fourteen years old, still a child."

The explanation of the mortar is very clear.

I know what to do.

Ripple finished speaking and stood up, starting to get dressed. The sky was already beginning to lighten.

The stone grinder didn't waste any words and directly went offline.

"Miss, you're awake"

Roshary quietly opened the door, finding that her young mistress was already dressing herself. She immediately stepped forward to help.

"Well, I didn't sleep well, so I woke up early."s expected, once they dismounted from their horses and carriage, they were warmly invited into the ancient castle. Lilian's elder brother, Hassan White, personally arranged a grand banquet to welcome...
