The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 93 : Past Events

The light in the cave flickered . The surroundings were crude, but the firelight made the scene somehow moving .

Shrubbery had been used to block the cave mouth tightly so that the cold wind could not enter . Jiang Lisa leaned against a rock in front of the fire and closed her eyes in weariness .

At such a tense time, they were a single man and a single woman together in a secluded setting . Yet, contrary to what one might expect, she was not the least concerned that Xiao Jungkook would do anything to her . In her previous life, he had been notorious for being cold and detached, completely indifferent to feminine charms . Xuan Li had attempted to gift him with beautiful women many times but, in the end, had to return without success . Moreover, at present, she was still quite young, and was currently in such a sorry state; if he could even consider making a move towards her in this state, then he must be blind .

After using Xiao Jungkook 's medicine and eating something, her body was gradually warming up . After rushing about the entire day, she was truly exhausted . Thus, she could not stop herself from drifting into slumber .

Before she fell asleep, she thought about the question she had asked Xiao Jungkook , and how he had answered .

He said, "Xiao mou[1] owes you his life . "

[1] 某 (mou) - It is used to refer to oneself .

What did this mean?

Jiang Lisa fell into a deep sleep . The young man who was staring into the fire, lost in thought, turned to look at her pensively for quite a while .

The young lady had shed the incisiveness and hostility that accompanied her customary antagonistic, tit-for-tat nature, and all that remained was a gentle and beautiful appearance . The facial features she had been born with were bright and beautiful, and the glow of the fire enhanced them with a faint charm . In time, she would definitely be a vibrant beauty .

However, the beautiful scene before his eyes did not tug at his heartstrings in the slightest . He merely lowered his head and retrieved an object from his sleeve - that bright, inlaid jade die lian hua pendant earring .

Time seemed to run backwards to five years ago...

Five years ago, he had already accepted command of the Jinyi guards for five years . He had just finished his martial arts training when he received a mission, and his opponent was a fierce, tough Commander in South Xinjiang . It was not the Commander himself who was to be feared, but the sorcerer by his side whose methods were bizarre . In order to cement his standing in the Jinyi guards, as well as to preserve the secrecy of the mission, he had penetrated deeply into South Xinjiang by himself .

After seven days and seven nights of moving around, he killed the Commander and the sorcerer . However, the sorcerer used his familiarity with the region's terrain to harm him via gu poison[2] .

[2] 蛊 (gu) - a legendary venomous insect; could also mean to poison, bewitch, drive to insanity, harm by witchcraft . Also an intestinal parasite .
