In the international waters, the waves glistened under the moonlight.
On the deck of a luxury yacht, Gu Xiaoxiao sat in her wheelchair, her empty pant legs fluttering in the sea breeze. It was a scorching day, yet she felt cold, as if she had fallen into hell.
"Gu Xiaoxiao, didn鈥檛 you say you wanted to see this place in your lifetime? It鈥檚 beautiful here. Staying here will be the best ending for you," said Xiao Ziheng, his tone calm, yet his words were the cruelest.
The implication was clear: Gu Xiaoxiao would die here.
"Auntie," a small voice suddenly called, and Gu Xuan, the chubby boy with red-rimmed eyes, looked at her with worry. "You scared me! You鈥檝e been unconscious for two days!"
"Why are you crying? I鈥檓 not going to die."
To her surprise, the little boys tears flowed freely at her words. "Auntie, I don鈥檛 want you to die! Please don鈥檛 die!"
"..." This little brat was getting on her nerves.
"Go sit over there and let me calm down."
Gu Xiaoxiao felt deceived.
She had been a spirit cultivator in the realm of cultivation, absorbing resentment and negative energy. During a tribulation, she was ambushed by a group of self-righteous cultivators. At the critical moment, she sacrificed her own body to find a host that was still alive, only to feel a distant power calling her.
She thought it was some heavenly treasure, but when she arrived, she found a spirit that looked just like her staring at her intently.
From that woman, she learned that she was in a novel where she was the ruthless villain, and even if she regained her body and became a powerful evil god, she would still be killed by the protagonists.
That woman had offered to devote her body and soul to Gu Xiaoxiao, asking only that she protect a boy named Gu Xuan and ensure he lived a safe life.
As a proud spirit cultivator, Gu Xiaoxiao wasnt interested in someone elses soul. She was mainly curious about what made Gu Xuan so special that someone would willingly dedicate their life to him.
However, when she opened her eyes, she found herself face to face with a timid, cowardly child!
In an instant, she felt a pang of regret and wanted to quit, but she remembered that the heavens had witnessed her vow. Breaking it would be detrimental to her cultivation, and she might even be punished by the heavens.
With a resigned sigh, Gu Xiaoxiao thought, "Fine, it鈥檚 just a child. The requirement is to ensure that Gu Xuan lives a safe life. I just need to make sure he doesn鈥檛 die."
Moreover, a human life is only a few decades long; it would be over soon.
Gu Xiaoxiao kept reassuring herself.
Just as she was calming down, she caught a glimpse of a figure darting through the doorway.
"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?"
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the anxious girl who rushed in, panting. She recognized her as the original owners agent, the one who had helped the original owner find work. It was this agent who had led the original owner to her tragic fate.
So, could this girl be considered an indirect killer of the original owner?
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxiaos tone turned cold. "What are you doing here?"
The agent, Yuna, instinctively raised her hand to pinch Gu Xiaoxiaos soft cheek. "Xiaoxiao, are you upset? I鈥檓 here to investigate what happened when you fell. I didn鈥檛 mean to ignore you."
As she spoke, Yuna pulled out a card from her bag, her eyes shining with excitement. "This is the compensation from the company and the show for you. You should rest well during this time; you don鈥檛 have to worry about anything. If anything comes up, our company will support you, okay?"
"What happened before?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked, looking at the card.
"We reviewed the surveillance footage, and it showed you suddenly falling down the stairs."
Yuna continued, "We privately asked the staff, and they said they heard you arguing with someone. They were afraid it was a personal matter, so they left, dispersing the crowd around you."
"I didn鈥檛 talk to anyone," Gu Xiaoxiao replied, looking at Yuna.
She had absorbed the original owners spirit and gained her memories, but interestingly, she had no recollection of what happened before the fall.
It seemed that the original owners death was not a simple matter!
Having borrowed this body to live again, she owed it to the original owner to find out the truth.
Yuna noticed Gu Xiaoxiaos serious expression and frowned slightly. "Are you sure?"
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Yuna sighed softly. "Then I鈥檒l go back and talk to the company to see if we can find out more."
"Thank you."
"But I personally suggest you go on that variety show," Yuna continued. "Not only is that show produced by the three major media companies, but the pay will also be substantial. Plus, being on the show will attract a lot of attention, and your status will definitely rise. You wont have to worry about good scripts and offers."
Yuna became more and more excited as she spoke, even grabbing Gu Xiaoxiaos hand. "Xiaoxiao, this is an important opportunity; we must seize it."
Gu Xiaoxiao pulled her hand away from Yuna. "We can talk about it later."
Hearing this, Yuna fell silent, wanting to persuade her but meeting Gu Xiaoxiaos cold gaze, her words evaporating in an instant.
She swallowed hard. "Then you should rest well. But please consider this matter. There鈥檚 no rush; just let me know when you decide. I have something else to attend to, so I鈥檒l leave first."
As Yuna hurriedly left, Gu Xiaoxiao chuckled softly.
"Auntie."
"What is it?"
"Can we not go to that place?"
Gu Xiaoxiao finally noticed Gu Xuans pale face. "What鈥檚 wrong?"
Gu Xuan shook his head. "That place is too far. Can we not go? I can skip school."
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him intently.
Did this little kid know something?
Gu Xuan was almost in tears. "We can work somewhere else; just don鈥檛 make me go to that place."
"This matter can wait. For now, pack your things. We鈥檙e going home."
An hour later.
Gu Xiaoxiao stood at the entrance of a small one-bedroom apartment, her lips twitching.
To think that in the realm of cultivation, she had lived in a mountain, and now she had fallen to such a small place?
She wanted to take a shower.
A hot bath was out of the question, so she grabbed a bathrobe and walked into the shower.
Hot water poured down from the showerhead, quickly filling the bathroom with steam.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxiao stepped back.
In the blink of an eye, the clear water from the shower turned into blood, reeking of iron.
She looked at the blood and the black hair overflowing from the drain with disgust.
The fog on the mirror slowly formed the words "Give me back my life."
Forced to have an abortion and her sister took over, she lost all her value as a substitute. One body, two lives, Ji Luoyi's love has lost all its strength. But why does he still struggle?
