Chapter 1: The Unfortunate Transmigration
However, that Ying Ying is the Grand Princess of the Great Qin, and she has made a marriage pact with Mu Chengxuan, the heir of the Sword God. How could she possibly disregard her own reputation to frame Ning Yuan
She is extraordinarily beautiful, with silvery hair as white as snow cascading down. Her elegant brows are slightly raised, and her starry eyes exude a cold sharpness. Although she is a woman, there is an unmistakable aura of fierce heroism between her brows, akin to a sword drawn from its sheath, showcasing its brilliance.
Although they are siblings, Ning Yuan and Ji Wushuang lead lives that are entirely opposite to each other
Why is it said to be the main culprit? Because Ning Yuan did not drug the princess at all, nor did he intend to do anything to her; all of this is a conspiracy to frame Ning Yuan.
Ying Ying is the eldest princess of the Great Qin Empire and also the main culprit responsible for Ning Yuan's current state
Three days ago, he was just an ordinary office worker, having lost his parents at an early age and possessing few friends, leading a monotonous life that revolved around the same three points every day.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuan looked at Ji Wushuang. Before he could ask, he heard Ji Wushuang say: "This piece of Snow Cold Jade was entrusted to me by my master for protection. Carry it on you, and it can save your life at a critical moment. As long as you survive that beast fight, you will be fine."
Upon seeing this, Ning Yuan's expression changed involuntarily. He quickly stood up and looked at the man in the black robe with a tense expression
However, it was unexpected that Mu Chengxuan was a bit too heavy-handed when he took down Ning Yuan. Coupled with being locked in this Blood Slaughter Arena, in a state of shock and fear, the unfortunate young master of the Ning family met his demise on the very night he was imprisoned in the Blood Slaughter Arena. Now, the current Ning Yuan has crossed over and taken over such a mess.
Before the crossing, Ning Yuan was merely an ordinary person, with combat abilities that were nearly worthless. As for his previous incarnation, it was even more dismal, indulging in drinking, gambling, and all vices, with martial arts skills that were simply pitiful. This had left his current body weak and frail, to the point where he might not even be able to overpower a woman
Without thinking, the white jade lay in his palm for a moment, then suddenly transformed into a burst of white light, disappearing directly from his hand
Moreover, the eldest princess Yingying not only possesses a noble status but also has a very proud temperament. She has always looked down upon someone like Ning Yuan, who is as useless as a wall that cannot be propped up. How could she suddenly invite Ning Yuan to attend a poetry gathering and even dismiss others to be alone with him?
In this way, the two were almost like strangers, and Ning Yuan had only crossed over three days ago, having not even seen Ji Wushuang's face before being captured in this bloodthirsty arena to await death, leaving no opportunity to develop a bond with this beautiful sister of unparalleled grace
The person did not respond, but simply reached out to remove the hat, revealing a face of exquisite beauty.
Then, Emperor Qin said that in consideration of the past merits of the Ning family, he would give Ning Yuan a chance. As long as Ning Yuan could survive one beast fight in this session of the Blood Slaughter Arena, he would be spared from the death penalty
Those guys wouldn't be planning to eliminate him right here without even letting him enter the martial arts arena, would they
Seeing Ning Yuan so tense, Ji Wushuang slightly furrowed her brows, feeling a wave of disappointment in her heart, yet she did not show it. She simply said: "Answer me honestly, have you done anything improper with that Ying Ying?"
A squad of soldiers clad in battle armor swiftly approached, commanding the guards to open the prison gate
Absorb spiritual energy, the invincible hero system is activated
This jade pendant, entirely snow-white, emanates a faint glow, with waves of chill continuously surging from within. However, Ning Yuan feels no discomfort; instead, he experiences a refreshing sensation.
Upon seeing her, Ning Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, his expression somewhat complicated as he said: "What brings you here?"
Seeing Ning Yuan like this, the man in the black robe couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. He stepped slowly into the cell, stopped in front of Ning Yuan, and said softly: "Elder brother, are you alright?"
Hearing Ning Yuan's confident response, Ji Wushuang fell silent for a moment, and finally took a jade pendant from around her neck, handing it to Ning Yuan, saying: "Take this with you"
Therefore, after the incident with Ning Yuan, she truly did not expect Ji Wushuang to come to her rescue; if she did not come to uphold justice and punish her kin, then Ning Yuan would simply be at peace.
The Exquisite Immortal Linglong Sword
In contrast, Ji Wushuang was entirely different; he was born with nine meridians of martial arts connected, and both his comprehension and talent could be deemed perfect. As a result, he established his foundation in martial arts at the age of three, and at five, he became the sole disciple of that renowned immortal.
Although Ning Yuan was previously a dandy, he was not foolish; he naturally understood the consequences of acting this way towards the eldest princess. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to court death.
Thus, all of this is a conspiracy, and Ning Yuan has explained it before, but it is of no use, as Ning Yuan's reputation is indeed too foul. He spends his days immersed in the world of pleasure and beauty, notorious for being a debauched playboy and a lecher. Therefore, it is not surprising that, in a moment of lustful impulse, he would commit such audacious acts.
The person was dressed in a black robe, with a hood that covered most of their face, giving them a mysterious appearance
Understanding this, Ning Yuan felt a wave of despair in his heart. He had been imprisoned in this dungeon for three days, and today marked the beginning of the Blood Fiend Arena's martial combat. Soon, he would be participating in the first match of the martial contest.
It is precisely for this reason that Ning Yuan did not display much joy upon seeing Ji Wushuang. He understood that with Ji Wushuang's status as the successor of the Absolute Immortal and the deterrent power of that Absolute Immortal, it was possible that she could save his life
Yet even so, he was unwilling to traverse to this cursed place, let alone become the young master of the Ning family.
However, Ning Yuan did not expect that after the prison door was opened, the guards did not come in to escort him out; instead, they all left, leaving only one person still standing before the prison door
Upon hearing this, Ning Yuan was initially taken aback, but then a wave of great joy surged within him, and he quickly replied: "Of course not"
And Ji Wushuang no longer lived up to the name of "Wushuang". After ten years of cultivation under the guidance of the Immortal Fairy, she entered the fourth rank of martial arts. She obtained the sect's treasured sword, the Exquisite Linglong, passed down by the Immortal Fairy. Upon descending the mountain, she defeated the top disciple of the Sword God of the Great Qin with her sword, and from then on, her name spread throughout the seven nations of the Northern Region. Compared to her, Mu Chengxuan was not without his own shortcomings.
This transcendent fairy is known to possess the title of the strongest individual in the Great Qin Empire. Her disposition is proud and aloof, to the extent that she does not even regard the royal family of Great Qin. The fact that she has accepted Ji Wushuang as her disciple speaks volumes about Ji Wushuang's exceptional talent
"Ning Yuan, oh Ning Yuan, how utterly useless are you?" With a self-deprecating remark, Ning Yuan sat back down on the ground, taking out the piece of Snow Cold Jade to examine it, wanting to see what miraculous qualities this jade pendant possessed
Ji Wushuang, the younger sister of Ning Yuan who follows her mother's surname
So what is the difference between sending Ning Yuan to fight those monsters in the Blood Slaughter Arena and directly sending him to his death
Having said that, Ji Wushuang did not wait for Ning Yuan to speak and turned to leave the prison cell
Seeing Ning Yuan put away the jade pendant, Ji Wushuang nodded and said: "Although this jade pendant can save your life, you will still have to endure the pain of your flesh. Bear with it, and do not bring shame to our Ning family."
Ning Yuan looked at Ji Wushuang with a nervous expression, genuinely fearing that his sister would draw the exquisite and divine Linglong Sword and strike him down at any moment
"Are we about to begin?" Upon hearing this, Ning Yuan's heart involuntarily skipped a beat. Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he felt a bit flustered at this moment
Elder brother? Upon hearing this, Ning Yuan was momentarily taken aback, and then a few memories briefly surfaced in his mind, causing him to exclaim in astonishment: "You are..."
However, the problem is that Ji Wushuang and her master share similar temperaments: both are cold and proud, coupled with a strong aversion to evil. The last time she returned from Juexian Residence, she incapacitated several young scions who bullied others with a single sword strike, and even Ning Yuan was swept by her sword aura, lying in bed for half a month.
Hearing this, Ning Yuan was taken aback, looked towards Ji Wushuang, and after a moment of silence, finally said: "Thank you"
One is the eldest princess of the Great Qin Empire, and the other is the heir of the Sword God. Having committed such a heinous crime, even the Ning family cannot protect Ning Yuan, and he can only go before the Qin Emperor to plead for mercy
Why? It is precisely because Ji Wushuang is so outstanding. Gifted from a young age, she was regarded as the hope of the Ning family. Every day she practiced martial arts, seldom interacting with Ning Yuan. After completing her foundation establishment, she was taken under the wing of the Absolute Fairy and went to the Absolute Fairy Residence for cultivation. This journey lasted for ten years. Upon her return, she had already become the renowned successor of the Absolute Fairy in the Seven Kingdoms of the Northern Region, even defeating the first disciple of the Great Qin Sword God under her sword, shining like a rising star with limitless prospects
What is the purpose of this jade pendant
Open the door
It can be said that the former Ningda Shao was wrongfully killed in cold blood
Upon seeing this, Ning Yuan couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. Ji Wushuang left so quickly, perhaps fearing that Ning Yuan would continue to plead with her. Such a thing, the former Ning Yuan might have actually done.
If it were simply a matter of enjoying a life of luxury after crossing over, Ning Yuan would certainly have no objections. However, the problem lies in the fact that this young master of the Ning family has left him with a huge mess. He actually drugged the princess of the Great Qin Empire with the intention of committing an immoral act. Yet, before he could succeed, he was caught red-handed by the princess's fiancé, Mu Chengxuan, in front of many witnesses, with both the evidence and the perpetrator in hand, making the case irrefutable.
Hmm? Upon seeing this, Ning Yuan hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the jade pendant.
Wait, to uphold justice and eliminate familial ties? To uphold justice and eliminate familial ties!
The sword, entirely snow-white, has seven stars engraved on its sheath, emanating an endless chill. Even at this moment, with the sword still in its sheath, it still instills a sharp aura that makes one feel a sense of dread.
This Long Princess is the most favored princess of the Qin Emperor, holding a noble status. Mu Chengxuan, on the other hand, is the son of the Right Chancellor of the Great Qin, a prodigy of exceptional talent. He has been apprenticed under the Great Qin's Sword God for seven years, and upon descending the mountain, he defeated young talents from all directions, gaining fame throughout the Great Qin and earning the title of the Young Sword God
Just as Ning Yuan was feeling flustered, suddenly, a chilling notification sound echoed in his mind
Upon thinking of this, Ning Yuan could not help but sigh, filled with reluctance in his heart. Naturally, he did not wish to die, but given the circumstances, what other options did he have?
Having a sister who is truly unparalleled in the world should be a source of great happiness; however, unfortunately, neither the current Ning Yuan nor the former dandy young master is familiar with Ji Wushuang
Thus, even if Ning Yuan explained himself, no one believed him, including the members of the Ning family. It was precisely because of this that on the night three days ago, the poor Ning Yuan became so agitated that his condition worsened, ultimately leading to his demise
In the cell, Ning Yuan sat dejectedly on the ground, his gaze constantly fixed on the doorway. The tightly locked prison door and the two robust guards filled his heart with despair and helplessness
This sudden change caused Ning Yuan's expression to shift; this jade pendant was his lifeline, how could it just disappear without a trace?
She can't be serious about this
In the presence of the outstanding Ji Wushuang, Ning Yuan naturally felt even more inferior. He would see his sister, who would not dare to utter even half a sentence, sometimes even turning around and walking away, keeping her distance from Ji Wushuang.
Just as Ning Yuan was lamenting, a sound of footsteps came from outside the prison door, immediately capturing Ning Yuan's attention
At this thought, Ning Yuan's gaze sharpened as he looked towards Ji Wushuang, just in time to see the ancient sword she held in her hand
Ning Yuan is a useless dandy, completely lacking talent in the martial arts, and there is no need to mention his other shortcomings; he is simply a typical example of someone who lives off others and waits for death.
