Did he want revenge or was he trying to get something from her?

  No matter what Zhang Jiasen was up to, Ning Shu didn’t intend to play along.

  She bared her teeth into a mockery of a smile and immediately blocked Zhang Jiasen. Adios…


  Meanwhile, the chat system informed Zhang Jiasen that his message couldn’t be sent. He raised an eyebrow and then logged off.

  His expression was indifferent. It would be good if the other party was willing to meet him but it didn’t matter if she didn’t. He was just giving it a try.

  Ning Shu told 2333, “Let’s meet the next entrustor.”


  2333 spent ages stammering. “You really don’t want to do the task with a system?”


  “I’m not doing it,” Ning Shu said without hesitation. “Wait until I’m in the mood.”


  “It’s not like you’re just doing the task for me! You’ll also get experience points and attribute points! Why are you being so stubborn?” 2333 asked.

  Ning Shu smiled. “It’s not the task I’m refusing, it’s you.”


  2333 suddenly started acting cute. “Ning Shu, don’t be like this~”


  “Could you grow a spine? A little bit of backbone?” Ning Shu’s smile remained. “Like me, for example. I’ve always disliked you. That’s a firm position that will never change.”


  You were always trash.

  2333: …


  A figure slowly appeared in the space. The girl looked about 16 years old. She wore brocade clothing and although the material was a little old, Ning Shu could see that it was very fine. She also had a hairpin in her hair, but its style was rather old fashioned.

  Not at all the kind someone that young would wear.

  The girl was beautiful: she had sculpted eyebrows, fair skin, dark eyes, and cherry-red lips. One glance was enough to declare her a beauty. But she had a certain timidness about her that dropped her beauty from a solid nine to a mere four.

  Even here, her head hung low and she looked very ill at ease. She saluted Ning Shu. “Qingqian’s humble greetings, Lady…”


  Ning Shu inhaled, already feeling an ache in her jaw. Another ancient era world. Ning Shu really didn’t like these ancient era worlds, they had far too many restraints on women. That was always a huge hindrance to completion of her tasks.

  Ning Shu returned the greeting and said, “You want a counterattack.”


  “Yes, I would like to request a counterattack.” Feng Qingqian raised her head and said, “I’ll offer 70% of my soul energy. I don’t want to be the object of comparison! I want my body back and my parents… I hate them!”


  Ning Shu saw Feng Qingqian’s agitation spiking and tried to soothe her. “Please speak slowly and clearly so I can understand what you want.”


  Feng Qingqian took a deep breath. Her beautiful eyes met Ning Shu’s. “I want my body to be mine again. I don’t want her to dominate it.”


  Seeing the state Feng Qingqian was in, Ning Shu decided to take a look at this world’s storyline first.

  It was the story of an assassin queen who transmigrated into ancient times.

  Ying Su was a top-tier female assassin. She was cold, noble-looking, and ran the world before she was finally betrayed and tossed into the ocean. Then she transmigrated into the body of the cowardly, incompetent, and naïvely in love, Feng Qingqian.

  Upon waking, Ying Su discovered that the body had been drowned, and then discovered that the body’s mother was killed by the family’s legal wife.

  Ying Su’s phoenix eyes slightly narrowed and a harshness flashed within them, the warmth of the original host’s gaze freezing over. While she was disgusted with the original host for being ‘useless’ and ‘letting’ others bully her, she said, “I’ll live well for you. I’ll make those vicious people suffer a hundred times, no, a thousand times over.”


  If the original host could live on instead, why would she want someone else to live for her? It was ridiculous. It felt like the original host existed only to contribute her body to this interloper.

  No one in the world would be willing to accept that fate.

  ?Chapter 1811: Out of the ‘Goodness of Her Heart’


  Ying Su intended to avenge this body and her mother out of the ‘goodness of her heart’.

  And so the king of a generation of assassins started to abuse scum as she climbed to the very top of the ladder. While at it, she also gained a powerful, two-faced lover who doted on her. Hand-in-hand, the two watched over their kingdom.

  The entrustor was the body’s original host: a child who lived less than sixteen years before dying so she could hand her body over to Ying Su.

  Now Feng Qingqian wanted to offer up her soul to snatch her body back. The purpose of the original host’s entire existence was to act as a foil to Ying Su.

  While she was a cowardly, love-struck fool, Ying Su was cool and cold. While she was timid and inferior, Ying Su was bold and wild. While she was disliked by her fiancé, Ying Su attracted many men’s attention.

  Even though Feng Qingqian had already died, she was still constantly compared to another. Everyone who met the magnificent Ying Su would say, “Look how different she is from the rumors! What an interesting woman. You’ve successfully aroused the interest of this prince! Blah, blah, blah…”


  How could Feng Qingqian not be traumatized!?

  And there wasn’t a single good person in the entire Feng Residence! The father was scum and the legal wife was a flirtatious slut who tormented the concubine daughters in her free time. Her sisters were all green tea whores who always tried to steal her men. The servants were bullies who targeted the weak. In short, the entire family was awful.

  When the nest of scum that was the Feng family had almost been cleaned up, the original host’s dead concubine mother returned. It turned out that her mother was in truth a noble, a princess even, and that the identity of her old man was even more amazing.

  She wasn’t a child of the Feng family at all! No wonder they bullied her.

  The parents returned to shower their poor child with all kinds of pampering and love, hoping to make it up to her.

  But their child was dead. All that pampering was lavished upon an impostor wearing their child’s skin.

  How could Feng Qingqian not be depressed!?

  They were gone when Feng Qingqian was alive, but immediately popped up when she was dead.

  That was why Feng Qingqian was disgusted by her birth parents.

  The Feng family wasn’t very good to her, but they saw to her basic needs. In all those years, her biological parents had never bothered to ask how she was doing.

  Her mother faked her death when she was a child, so she could go find her man.

  Ning Shu after receiving the storyline: …


  Ning Shu turned her head to look at Feng Qingqian, speechless.

  “So your wish is to take your body back?” she asked.

  Feng Qingqian nodded. That demon wearing her skin shouldn’t be allowed to rampage around.

  She bit her lip and added, “I want to protect the Feng family, if possible. Who knows where I would be without them.”


  “Didn’t the Feng family bully you?” Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. According to Ying Su, the Feng family was a nest of scum.

  Feng Qingqian shook her head, “I’m not a child of the Feng family. It was Father, General Feng, who took my mother and I in. General Feng didn’t throw me out when my mother died.”


  “I know I’m cowardly and useless,” Feng Qingqian said, “but the Feng family was my home for fifteen years.”


  It was true that Feng Qingqian was bullied by the Feng family, but that was her business. Ying Su had no right to fight the Feng family and beat them into the ground in her name.

  Ying Su was arrogant and vengeful. Since she wanted payback against others, they naturally wanted the same. Those grudges becoming deep enough to kill over after a few rounds of back-and-forth was normal.

  There was always a reason behind such mutual hatred.

  Ning Shu thought Feng Qingqian was kindhearted. Or at least capable of distinguishing between right and wrong.

  What good could come to a woman with no family and no clan in ancient times? They either became slaves or prostitutes.

  “Can you help me counterattack?” Feng Qingqian asked Ning Shu.
