Chapter 1: The Grenade Explosion and the Crossing

Biyao Continent, White Tiger Nation, Imperial Capital.

In the courtyard of Dongjun's Chancellor's Mansion, flowers bloomed in full glory, and willow trees swayed gracefully, resembling a fairyland.

In such a meticulously crafted mansion, the west courtyard was surprisingly dilapidated.

A dilapidated wooden shack stood there alone, looking utterly out of place amidst the riot of flowers.

And the wooden hut's roof, broken table, dirty beddings, and cracked copper mirror were even more dilapidated than the outside of the dwelling.

There are two people standing in the house now.

The taller one wore a red flowing cloud-like garment, with delicate eyebrows and a slender waist. At her young age, she already possessed a hint of allure. The shorter one wore a green gauze robe, with plump, round features but not appearing fat.

This tall girl is Miss Liu Xin, the fourth daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. And that short one is Miss Liu Shan, the second daughter.

Liuxin and Liushan were standing by the creaky wooden bed.

There was someone lying in bed, who was about the same age as us.

She had eyebrows that were not drawn, but naturally beautiful, and lips that were not painted, but still alluring. Her face was delicate as snow, finer than the willow twig's grace and smoother than the plumpness of a willow blossom. Instead, she possessed a touch of ethereal beauty like orchid mist.

It is clear that she was trapped in a nightmare at this moment. Her eyes were closed, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she struggled faintly, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Liu Xin and Liu Shan disregarded the pained expression on the person in bed, only focusing on their own pleasure.

Only to see that Liu Xin's fingers held a needle for embroidery, constantly stabbing at it. She cursed more venomously inside her heart.

"You still want to be a princess? You're a blind idiot! You don't even know how embarrassing you are! If I were you, I would have committed suicide long ago!"

Liu Xin's scolding was very sharp, and Liu Shan on the side couldn't help but worry a little. She hurriedly leaned over to check if the cotton in her ears was securely placed.

Seeing Liushanyan like this, Liuxin sneered and said, "Since you heard it, then you heard it. Even if you recognize that I did it, what can this blind fool do?"

Hearing this, Liu Shan hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly and said: “Fourth Sister is right. Fourth Sister is a second-rank warrior, how dare a nobody like me oppose you?”

It was evident that Liu Xin found such flattery pleasing. She felt a touch of pride and her hands worked incessantly, while she also instructed: “Second sister, hurry up too. If the needle runs out, just use your fingers to pinch. I don't believe we can't kill this blind man.”

Hearing what Liu Xin said, Liu Shan didn't dare to neglect it. She quickly picked up a needle from the side and went to prick Liu Xiaoxiao's child.

Pain… so much pain… How come my whole body hurts…

In the midst of chaos, Liu Xiao only felt that countless places on her body were being pierced, one after another, with no end in sight.

He struggled and finally opened his incredibly heavy eyes.

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw two beautiful girls in front of me, constantly stitching with needles.

Ouch! Stop it!

Liu Xiaoxiao wanted to open her hands, but found her own were like they were filled with lead, unable to move at all.

Two children playing, their mouths open and shut, obviously talking to each other, but you can't hear a word.

It was only then that I realized, my ears, seemed to be stuffed with something.

>However, luckily I had learned the language, so even though I was looking at their menacing mouths, I still understood what they were saying.

"Fourth Sister, you're awake! It seems like you've woken up!"

"Don't worry, the medicine hasn't worn off yet. What difference does it make if he opens his eyes? A blind man can't see anything anyway. His ears are stuffed up too, so he can't possibly hear us."

What? Are you blind?

Nonsense, now not only can I see clearly, but also very clearly, even clearer than when wearing glasses.

Who are these two vicious little girls? Why are they treating me like this?

Aren't you an army medic on the battlefield in Afghanistan? I only remember someone throwing a grenade at you, but how could you end up in this strange place?

Too many questions were swirling in Liu Xiao's mind before she was overwhelmed by a searing pain.

Finally, I was overwhelmed by the darkness that came crashing down and lost consciousness.

"Woooooo… Third Sister, don't leave Yin'er ah… If you leave, what will Yin'er do…"

In the hazy distance, a faint cry sounded in my ear, broken and intermittent, like a fly that wouldn't stop.

Who is this, being so bothersome? Let me get some sleep, okay?

Frowning, Liu Xia opened her eyes only to see a completely unfamiliar scene.

A filthy and tattered bed curtain, a patched quilt, a peeling wooden chest, a room dirtier than an Afghan refugee camp.

Looking at the scene before me, I felt incredibly strange.

But the strangest of all has to be this little girl right in front of me.

The little girl's face was calm, showing no hint of sadness. There was even a touch of disdain and schadenfreude between her brows, yet the voice that came out sounded like she had lost her dearest mother.

This is the voice actor for this animation? How can they perform the voice so convincingly?!

Liu Xiaozheng was filled with emotion, but when the child in front of her woke up, his face instantly contorted with disgust and bewilderment. Yet, his tone seemed to be brimming with surprise instead.

"Third Sister, you're finally awake! In-er was terrified."
