2 Her Rebirth and a System
Bai Yuan woke up to see that she wasn't dead or her soul has disappeared for good. She look at her hands to see that it was still flawless like before, before she met him. Realizing she can see again, she ran towards the desk mirror looking at her reflection. Bai Yuan slowly touches her face, it was the face that she hasn't seen since she was with him. The face before her marriage with Lan Wuyou this making her believe that she went back in time. She walks out of the room to see that she was in her peach blossom courtyard. Realizing that her thoughts were correct, she didn't think that the heaven would give her a chance at life again. With this life, she would make everyone who look down and shame against her, pay ten times more.
[System operating 91%... 95%... 99%... 100%.]
[Integrating host with system. Welcome host.]
Sensing the voice Bai Yuan turn around to see if there's anyone but there was no one. Thinking back the voice seems to come from her mind. She calmed herself down speaking to thin air, "What do you want from this miss? ...Are you the one who helps me when my soul was destroyed? "
[Answering host's question, due to host vessel dying, it activated the dying will system. Host's soul was supposed to be transferred into someone else's body, but there was no capable body to receive host's broken soul. The system can't do anything but transfer host back to her old world, and back in time, which was against the heavens law. On the host's back, there should be a Lycoris radiata, it is the host's symbol for going against heaven.] The system left out some things that it shouldn't be telling the host right away.
Bai Yuan undress her white robe checking her back on the mirror, only to find out that it wasn't lying. On the upper left side of her back, there was a very red spider lily. She smirk, if this was the price she has to pay, she was willing to go against heaven again and again.
Bai Yuan heard sobbing outside, knowing that it was wet nurse Qui. She invited wet nurse Qui into her room. After her parent's death when she was still young wet nurse Qui was someone always by her side but at the end she also betrayed her. She reported everything that she (BY) did to her adopted parents, which is the third household. The third household treated her better than their own children, never letting her take a step out of the house. She thought that they were trying to protect her but in reality, they were caging her from the outside world. Every day she was to learn about cultivating, all kind of pills and gifts were given to her, to help her raise her strength but she never thought that their good intentions have another meaning.
Wet nurse Qui came quickly having a displease look but change into crying again when the young miss look at her, "Young miss, you have to help me. My son who I told you before, his daughter is very ill right now and they need money. But young miss should know all the money I made can't even feed myself. Can the young miss please spare some money so that my son can invite a doctor to cure her."
Bai Yuan look at her ugly face snorting inside, why was she so stupid in the past, believing in everything that wet nurse Qui said. She gives everything she can give, but wet nurse Qui's greed was never satisfied, she keeps asking for more. When she (BY) can't give anymore, wet nurse Qui resorted to stealing. Bai Yuan look at wet nurse Qui, smile sweetly like she uses to and stuff a bag with some of her jewelry. She looks back at wet nurse Qui again, to see that her eyes were glue on the pieces of jewelry. Bai Yuan sit down on the chair again, she said, "Wet nurse, answer my question? If you give me the truth without lying, I'll give you everything in this bag."
Wet nurse Qui gulp down her saliva nodding her head. She would tell the whole truth if it's she can get what she wants. Bai Yuan give her question, "Besides you, have anyone seen this miss's face."
"No miss! This wet nurse can assure you that only this wet nurse has seen your face. When the young miss leaves this room, the young miss always wears a veil covering the young miss's face as the third madam instructed. And I'm the only one to take care of the young miss in this room," finish saying so, she tries to grab the bag, only to miss it. Feeling wronged wet nurse Qui look at Bai Yuan bitterly with resentment mix in. Bai Yuan handed the bag to her hand with a smirk on her face.
[....] Why does this system feel like the host doesn't notice it? The system cough loudly in Bai Yuan's mind making her turn around only to see nothing. She casually sits in her chair drinking her tea waiting for her two sisters to lure her out of her peach blossom court. This makes the system unable to bear, making it speak up, [Why is host waiting and not going to them instead.]
She said, "Why should I go to them when they are coming to me instead. Here they are." Hearing knocking on her door, she grabs the face cover, covering her face and open the door. In front of her were two women about her age.
They grab her hands dragging her out of the room, Bai Meili started chattering, "Bai Yuan, the emperor is here, he even brought his sons and guess what, one is Lan Wuyou. Your so lucky, you're engaged with him and you guys have even... You know. Lan Wuyou is the most beautiful son the emperor has. I wish I was you."
"Meili, don't say that. We should be happy for Bai Yuan." Bai Mingyu simply said.
All the way towards the third household, Bai Meili kept talking nonstop while Bai Mingyu stays quite with a cold face. Nearing the house Bai Yuan trip on thin air dragging them with her to the ground. She was alright but the other two with their guard down came crashing down onto the floor. With their face imprinting the floor, Bai Yuan went up to them trying to help them up, upon seeing their makeup smearing, her hands slip and drop them on the floor again with their face imprinting the floor.
Worried in her eyes, she tries again and again but each time they both landed on the floor. The third master seeing his two daughters embarrassing themselves and him in front of the emperor demands the maids on standby to help his daughters up. Bai Yuan turn towards the emperor and his sons kneeling and the third master bowing. After finishing her courtesy, she sits down waiting for more fun to begin.
Bai Meili and Bai Mingyu came back with new makeup and new robes. Bai Meili dresses in a seductive way while Bai Mingyu wears a white robe. Feeling their gaze looking towards a direction, she leaned her head that way to see Lan Wuyou. He was the same as before, his eyes weren't looking at any one of them but hold arrogance. She looks back at Bai Mingyu and Meili only feeling nauseated, their eyes where personally glue to Lan Wuyou. She even has the illusion that she was seeing hearts in their eyes. Thinking back she must've been like those two, seeing only him and nothing else. Her eyes must've been glued to him since she didn't even see that those two were in love with him until her last moments. Lightly shaking her head, she picks up the cup of tea near her. Bai Yuan turn her head a little to the back and lifted the veil up, intending to drink when she smell poison mixed in.
She cast a glance at everyone in the room, seeing the third madam's eyes were smiling. Bai Yuan chunk the tea down without any left and pour three cups of tea. She walks toward the emperor and the third master offering them a cup of tea then to the third madam with the same cup of tea that she uses to drink.
"Third madam aren't you being rude to me by not accepting my offer of tea in front of the emperor." Bai Yuan's face look like she felt wronged.
The third master simply glares at his wife telling her to accept the tea. She relentless accept the tea and smile pleasantly, " What is my daughter talking about. I'll definitely accept your offered tea. But you should call me mother from now one."
"Daughter will try her best," she picks up another cup of tea to drink.
[Host shouldn't consume too much poison. It's not good for the child in your stomach!]
Bai Yuan's movement stop, dropping the cup of tea, making everyone's attention turn towards her.
"Bai Yuan apologize. Bai Yuan hasn't had a deep sleep knowing that his majesty and Lan Wuyou would be visiting. Please don't take things to heart," standing up she bows again but only to the emperor.
The emperor nodded his head, indicating he understands. He went back to talking with the third master but suddenly thought of his future daughter-in-law from her movements a while back. Glancing at her, she always has a veil on, having no one know her appearance. Maybe his son Lan Wuyou has seen her face but as the emperor and not knowing his daughter-in-law's face would ruin his reputation.
"Zhen would like to see this daughter-in-law's face if it's alright."
"The emperor think too highly of me. This face of mine is very ugly that it needs a veil to cover. I wouldn't want to dirty the emperor's eyes," Bai Yuan carefully talk her way out.
The emperor looks younger than most of his sons but in reality, he is an old man that has a high level of cultivation. If you wish to know which emperor granted the country the most prosperous, almost everyone would say the current emperor. His martial art level is at the late stage of core formation, he has already formed his golden core and his mystical art (spirit power) is at level 63 making him an early spirit emperor. She wouldn't want to go against someone that only need to lift his finger to destroy her completely. However, from Bai Yuan's previous memory he only practices the external martial art and not the internal martial art making him vulnerable at times. There is only two person in his harem that he loves, one is Lan Wuyou's mother and the other, no one knows.
Bai Zhilan enters the room with a white robe on and hold her head up high, not looking down like she has always been. When the emperor ask that question she was supposed to fake being sick making her leave the scene of Bai Zhilan astonishing everyone in the room. But this time she wouldn't do something that stupid, she'll stay until the last minute, seeing how she change these people's perspective.
