Chapter 1: Encountering Beauty on the Descent
The two women in the phantom car are Mu Mu Ling and Mu Die Wu, who have just returned from seeking medical treatment. They are a pair of beautiful sisters, but after a car accident, they became orphans. Moreover, Mu Ling's younger sister, Mu Die Wu, has also suffered from severe aftereffects. Over the years, Mu Ling has taken over the substantial inheritance left by their parents while also caring for her seriously ill sister. During this time, she has taken Die Wu to visit nearly all the renowned doctors, as well as those so-called miraculous healers, but to no avail. This time, Mu Ling heard that there is a miraculous doctor on Wuyi Mountain who can cure all ailments, which is why she traveled thousands of miles, day and night, to take her sister to Wuyi Mountain.
However, what they did not expect was that as soon as the two sisters arrived at Wuyi Mountain, the so-called immortal doctor had already been captured. Upon inquiring, the sisters learned that this so-called immortal doctor had caused someone's death. Further investigation revealed that he was not an immortal doctor at all, but a fraud who had no medical skills and treated people using wild herbs and tree roots, ultimately leading to a fatal incident. In despair, the two women had no choice but to return.
As Hu Yan was muttering complaints to himself about that wicked old man in his mouth, he suddenly saw a brand new car approaching from a distance. At that moment, Hu Yan stood in the middle of the road, watching the small car that had already come within several dozen meters of him, and he said to himself: "This strangely looking fellow must be a car, right?" Hu Yan curiously remarked as he looked at the brand new Phantom sports car that was about to come right in front of him.
Just as she was filled with confusion, wondering if she had just misread the situation, a dissatisfied voice suddenly rang out: "Damn it, girl, are you trying to run me over?" Hu Yan, covered in weeds, stood up from a small ditch by the roadside, looking displeased at the panicked Mu Ling. At that moment, Hu Yan, with his body covered in weeds and dressed in ragged clothes, truly resembled a beggar, yet his relatively handsome face added an incongruous touch to his appearance. He looked at the startled Mu Ling with dissatisfaction, and at that moment, he indeed looked like a beggar, but his still handsome face made the whole scene somewhat mismatched.
As Hu Yan stood foolishly in the middle of the road with his arms crossed, gazing at the approaching Phantom sports car, inside the car were two beautiful young women with rosy lips and white teeth. One of them, a stunning woman with a ponytail, was driving while casting a sorrowful glance at the other woman in the passenger seat, who appeared pale and frail. She said, "Sister, don't worry. I will find a way to cure your illness. You can rest assured that with me around, nothing will happen to you." The beautiful woman driving spoke with a firm tone, looking at the pale and weak woman in the passenger seat.
Upon hearing her sister's words, Mu Ling opened her mouth but said nothing. Looking at her sister's eyes, which were filled with a lifeless gray hue, tears silently slid down her delicate face
At this moment, Hu Yan resembled a beggar, dressed in an extremely tattered white T-shirt, with many areas exposing his pale skin. Fortunately, there were no revealing spots; otherwise, it would have been quite an eyesore. Below, he wore a pair of torn pants, secured at the waist with a piece of hemp rope, and on his feet were a pair of oversized shoes, patched and exposing his toes. However, Hu Yan walked with an air of dignity, showing no signs of embarrassment or shame regarding his attire.
The exclamation from Mu Die Wu brought the sorrowful Mu Ling back to reality, where she saw Hu Yan standing in the middle of the road, dressed in beggar's clothes, with his arms crossed, looking at them in an extremely flamboyant and carefree manner
At that moment, when Die Wu was looking out of the car with a vacant expression and saw Hu Yan standing in the middle of the road, she immediately gathered all her strength and shouted to her sister who was driving: "There is someone on the road, sister, please stop the car"
"Old man, are you afraid that I will steal your wife? You drove me down the mountain and didn’t even give me a clean piece of clothing. This tattered garment is unfit to touch; if I do, a piece of fabric falls off. Damn it, it’s a disaster, yet you still make me wear it. How stingy can you be? Once I make a fortune in the future, I will definitely buy ten new outfits and change them every day, and I will absolutely not buy anything for you, you miserly old man." Hu Yan said with a mournful expression, holding a piece of torn fabric that he had accidentally ripped from his own clothing, filled with resentment.
The Phantom sports car is something that is difficult to acquire even for the wealthy; those who can drive such a car are either rich or of high status. It is reasonable to assume that the person driving this beautiful Phantom is certainly someone who is either affluent or influential
"I'm fine, sister, but it seems we have hit someone and killed them. What should we do?" Mu Die, with a face full of fear and worry, grasped Mu Ling's arm and spoke. She was not worried for herself; she knew her own life was nearing its end. Life and death had become insignificant to her, but her sister could not be harmed. She was now afraid that if her sister were to be arrested for killing someone, it would be something she could not bear to see. She had already made up her mind that if someone truly had died, she would take the blame with her own meager life. Her sister had done too much for her, and it was time for her to do something in return. Life and death had become insignificant to her, but her sister could not be harmed.

"That old man actually drove me down the mountain. Just you wait, I will return sooner or later. It must be that the old man has taken a liking to that old nun in the nunnery, so he is trying every means to drive me away, fearing that I might compete with him for his wife. Yes, it must be like that." Hu Yan, dressed in patched clothes, walked along the road with a self-satisfied expression on his face, speaking narcissistically.
But it was already too late, as the car crashed into that flamboyant man who was foolishly standing in the middle of the road.
Mu Ling felt a bit relieved after seeing that Die Wu was fine. She comforted her somewhat startled younger sister, saying, "Don't worry, everything is fine. I will go down to take a look. You stay in the car and don't move." After saying this, Mu Ling unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out. At that moment, her face was exceptionally pale. Once Mu Ling got out of the car, she anxiously circled around her vehicle, looking in front and behind, but she did not see anyone.
In a state of panic, Mu Ling immediately slammed on the brakes, causing the wheels to emit a piercing screech. Due to the sudden braking, both Mu Ling and the physically weak Die Wu let out a startled cry from the inertia. Fortunately, they were all wearing seatbelts; otherwise, they would have surely been thrown out.
Mu Ling and Die Wu gasped in unison upon witnessing the collision. When the vehicle came to a stop, Mu Ling anxiously looked at Die Wu and asked, "Sister, are you alright?"
The girl sitting in the passenger seat, upon hearing the words of the woman driving the Phantom, revealed a pitiful smile on her pale face. Struggling to straighten her body, she said, "Sister, you need not worry about me anymore. I have come to terms with it. As the saying goes, life and death are predestined, and wealth and nobility are determined by heaven. I have long accepted this. Once I reach heaven, I will be able to be with my parents. I am just afraid that after I leave, you will be left all alone. Promise me you will take good care of yourself. I will bless you from above with my parents." After saying these words, Die Wu began to breathe heavily, and her complexion grew even paler.
