2 Chapter 2 - Double Damage

His couldn't believe what he is seeing, he asked, "Shenmi… Why?"

He still finding it hard to accept that his sister shot him, the one person he trusted and treasured as his family. He spewed more blood from his mouth. He was close to getting unconscious but struggled to keep him conscious, he looked up and shouter at her, "Tell me why?"

She didn't answer him. Her slender hands holding the gun was shaking slightly. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened her eyes and slowly said, "Sorry about the accident seven years ago."

Shikong's eyes were wide open and he felt like a lightning bolt hit him, he couldn't believe what he just heard.

"You are the reason for that accident? You are the reason I'm not able to walk?" he asked with a shaky voice.

The reason for his disability is his sister? How could that be?

He felt betrayed. So everything was to make me find this cure which they want to use to strengthen themselves?

Wait, is she really my sister? If she is not, then what happened to my father?

Does this mean the letter from his father and his father being in another country is a lie?

He had too many questions. He couldn't think straight. He shouted with his mouth spewing blood, "Shenmi are you really my sister? Is everything a lie? Where is my father? Is he alive?"

Shenmi's body shook lightly when she heard Shikong's question.

"Idiot" Marvin's sarcastic voice came from behind.

Shikong turned and looked at the cold face of Marvin, with a look of sadness and anger, he fell and breathed his last.

But no one noticed, the blood from his chest was being absorbed by the dragon shaped pendant in his chest all this time since he was shot, and when he breathed his last it disappeared.

Shenmi suddenly fell in her knees, let go of the gun and started crying loudly. She kept muttering like a deranged person, "I'm sorry brother. I don't know what else to do. This is the only way to save our father and mother."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"FUCK" Shen Shikong cursed subconsciously.

"My heart almost leapt out of my mouth" He didn't even have time to think why he is alive after being shot by his sister, because right in front of his face was a pair of scarlet red eyes looking at him and a horrible stench coming from its mouth with long, sharp canines so close to his face.

It's a snow white tiger he is looking at, but not exactly one. Its build was four times the size of normal snow white tiger, size of a small truck. It also had a single horn in its head like a unicorn. He looked at the tiger and it looked back at him, somehow he could feel an intelligent life form when he looked into those eyes. Suddenly he received a message in his mind "I mean you no harm."

He was astonished that an animal can communicate with him. Of course it's not a normal tiger, its freaking huge for god's sake. He turned around to look at his surroundings and what he saw made him almost vomit. There were blood all over with mutilated bodies, broken armours and weapons surrounding him.

Suddenly, he thought of something. "Wait, how did I get here? I was supposed to be in my laboratory. My sister shot me, and I fainted due to blood loss. Didn't I die? How did I get here? And why is there a humongous tiger in front of me with mutilated bodies and blood all around? Where the hell am I?" He asked himself.

He looked at his hands and his body. His body looked young and weak, he was wearing ancient Chinese style clothing with armour. He looked up at the snow white tiger; it turned around and lazily sat nearby and closed it eyes.

Once he was sure it meant no harm, he closed his eyes and tried to gather his thoughts.

When he realised what happened, he was shocked. His soul transmigrated to another world after he dies in Earth and entered a young man's body that died here.

when he thought through up-to this point, he got very excited, why wouldn't he be excited. After all, he read lot of wuxia novels in Earth. But as his thoughts cleared and went through the memories of the youngster's memories, he couldn't help but laugh wryly.

The youngster's body who he transmigrated is called Zhu Xuan. He was a 15 years old boy, though he looked fair and slim, he was actually very weak. He belongs to Zhu clan, one of the five prominent clans in Qinglu city. And Qinglu city is one of the nine major cities, that ruled a domain, which is under Lei Shu Kingdom.

He was the son of the clan patriarch of Zhu clan, Zhu Donglai. Zhu Donglai is a very powerful cultivator already being at the peak of Qi gathering Stage. He had 13 children, 8 princes and 5 princesses, and he was the eighth prince.

Though he was the eighth prince, in reality he didn't have any standing in the Zhu clan. His father, the clan leader, didn't care about him. It has been many years since he met his father. His mother died giving birth to him. His sibling doesn't care about him and ignored him completely. He didn't receive any resources from his clan since he failed to activate an elemental root. Thank god, he at least had a place to live and food to eat. He lived in a small courtyard far away from the main clan houses, with no one to take care of him.

He is also the weakest among his siblings, in merely second stage of body purification stage. He tried his best to cultivate hard and gain some recognition, but sadly no one bothered about him and after practising irrationally, he hurt himself and his body got weak as a result.

After suffering like this, it came as a surprise to him when his second brother visited him last week. Zhu Lang, approached and informed him that there is an attack of demon beasts in a nearby village that is under Qinglu city domain and as clan patriarch's son, it was his responsibility to go and solve the problem.

His second brother, who was strongest amongst his siblings, assigned him a team of ten people to kill the demon beast. Zhu Xuan was excited that his brother recognised him and assigned him a task, so he happily went to the forest to kill the demon beasts without asking any question.

Little did he know it was all a plot by his brother to kill Zhu Xuan. He was lead by the scout in the team to a place where a powerful demon beast lived and the scout ran away leaving everyone else to die. Everyone in the team was killed in the massacre that followed.

But when he thought of how Zhu Xuan died, Shikong face-palmed himself. Zhu Xuan's heart stopped in shock and he died immediately. What a miserable way to die, well I almost died myself looking at that damn tiger so close.

He couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought about his own life in earth and this young man's life. It's so similar. Both are abandoned by their father, and they are betrayed and killed by their sibling in the end. He couldn't help but be sympathetic towards this Zhu Xuan.

He said to himself "What a double damage. I was abandoned and betrayed in my last life. And here I am, the body I transmigrated to also suffered the same fate."

"Since we suffered the same fate, let me take over your life and live on for both you and me. From now on, I will be Zhu Xuan."
