The South Liang Kingdom, Marquis of Yongan's residence.

Miss Yun Rui from the Marquis's house commanded a group of servants to throw a dying woman out of the door.

"Cheap woman! Take your illegitimate child and get lost!"

"If it weren't for the young lady's plea to spare your life, you, a fake heiress who dared to plot against her, would deserve a thousand deaths!"

"Don’t pretend to be dead! If you dirty the marquis's floors, I won’t let you off!”

...

Pain.

Yun Qianyi's head was throbbing, it felt like it was about to explode.

Hold on.

She was undergoing a tribulation, betrayed by a scumbag who destroyed her life's alchemy furnace, causing her to fail her tribulation. Did she... survive?

Yun Qianyi abruptly opened her eyes.

Only to see a fluffy 'object' pouncing straight at her.

"Um"

Yun Qianyi instinctively tried to stop it, but she was too weak and got a full embrace from it.

"Mother!"

The ear-splitting cries of an infant echoed.

Yun Qianyi frowned, a flood of complex information suddenly filling her mind.

Yun Qianyi, bearing the same name, belonged to a spiritual god’s bloodline that was seen once every thousand years.

Despite being presented as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an, she was in reality merely a child that the Marquis had abducted from a rural huntsman for her blood, all to ensure his true daughter, Yun Yao's, survival!

Yun Qianyi was born with an incomplete soul, a little foolish and compliant to the Marquis’s every whim. She was brainwashed into protecting the true heiress Yun Yao, and every mischievous act committed by Yun Yao was placed on Yun Qianyi's shoulders. Consequently, her reputation was tarnished, and she was shunned by everyone.

That is, until she met the Seventh Prince, Murong Qi!

Murong Qi, who was both exceptionally talented and devilishly handsome. Yun Qianyi had secretly given her heart to him, resolving herself no longer to cover for Yun Yao. Instead, she fell into Yun Yao's trap and was drugged, ending up in the arms of a stranger. Subsequently, she gave birth to a creature—it was a fluffy humanoid with beast ears and a tail, but with a human face and limbs!

The birth of this creature resulted in Yun Qianyi's inability to produce any more of the Spiritual God’s blood.

Three days ago, the last drop of her spiritual blood had been drained, and Yun Yao had taken the opportunity to leave with the seventh prince to the much-coveted Dan Sect.

And she was publicly exposed by the Marquis's mansion for being a counterfeit heiress!

Accusing her of harming Yun Yao!

While the original host tried to defend herself, nobody believed her.

In order to protect their reputation, the Marquis didn't kick her out but allowed the servants to maltreat her. Just last night, she was thrown into the pond. Falling sick with a high fever after catching a chill, she was thrown out by the Marquis for fear of her dying in the mansion—bringing bad luck!

"Too noisy!"

"Go and drive them away now!"

Yun Rui stared at the mother and child on the ground with disgust.

The servants came over, clapping their hands together eagerly.

Yun Qianyi put the child aside, slowly standing up with the support of the ground. She eyed the servants warily.

Her body was so weak, devoid of any spirit power, and her spiritual energy had not fully recovered. It can only be used once.

Just as Yun Qianyi was waiting for the right opportunity to strike...

"Halt!"

A loud voice rang out from behind her.

Everyone turned to look, only to see a ragged, draughty donkey cart barging in.

"You're my little sister, right? I'm your fourth elder brother!"

The dirty, black-dressed coachman jumped down, leaping in front of Yun Qianyi, his face full of excitement, "I've finally found you!"

Yun Qianyi took a step back, staring at the man with guarded eyes. His spiritual energy had reached level three!

At this time, she was no match for him.

"Little sister, don't be afraid. The reason I look like this is just because I was struck by lightning on the way here. I'm not this dark usually."

Chu Yuyun scratched his head in embarrassment, and when he smiled, his big, white teeth blazed brightly.

He emanated an energy of lightning and a tang of blood, leading Yun Qianyi to believe he wasn’t lying. But... fourth brother?

Could it be that the original owner's immediate family members have heard the news and are now searching for him?

"Ch."

At the entrance, Yun Rui looked on with a face full of mockery, "Struck by lightning in broad daylight, you must have committed a heinous sin!"

It seemed as though Chu Yuyun had only just noticed Yun Rui's presence.

"So you're the ones who took in my little sister?"

"I'm so 'grateful,' my father said he would find the time to personally come and visit."

A smile remained on Chu Yuyun's face, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

The word "grateful" was emphasized heavily.

Yun Rui saw his ragged and dirty clothes, which made him look like a begging monk on the streets. She was filled with disgust.

"Visit? You destitute people dare to call it a visit?"

"The Marquis House does not welcome you!"

"Get lost now!"

It seemed as though Yun Rui feared he would become a burden to the Marquis House, quickly shutting the front door.

Bang!

As the sound reverberated, Chu Yuyun cast a deep look at the four characters "Yong An Marquis House".

Then, he casually tossed a few misfortune talismans into the mix.

“Sister, you've been wronged. Don't worry, we brothers will get justice for you!” said Chu Yuyun solemnly.

Yun Qianyi responded coldly, “How are you so sure I am your sister?”

Chu Yuyun pulled a piece of blood jade from his bosom.

Almost the moment he took it out, the piece of blood jade desperately wriggled free and drilled itself into Yun Qianyi’s forehead.

Yun Qianyi had no chance to stop it.

The next moment, her soul felt a long-lost familiarity and warmth.

This blood jade could nourish her soul!

And it had a connection with her soul!

Chu Yuyun grinned, his white teeth gleaming, a triumphant smile on his face, “Third Brother predicted this. Due to our family's ancestral Blood Jade guidance, we both suffered a heavenly tribulation for it, so how could we be wrong?”

Yun Qianyi's eyes flickered.

Could it be the reason why he was struck by lightning was because of this?

“Let's go, we should head back to the inn first.”

Saying this, Chu Yuyun hopped onto the donkey cart, “The news from home came urgent and Nanliang is far from us. Only Third Brother and I rushed over here, Third Brother is still waiting for news at the inn.”

Yun Qianyi nodded in acknowledgement.

Suddenly, her legs were clasped onto. She looked down.

"Mom!"

The little boy's face was streaked with tears, gazing at her in panic, "No, don't leave the little monster, the little monster is obedient weep weep."

His fluffy beast ears drooped down, his eyes were a reddish hue, akin to a frightened little bunny. He stared at her, seemingly terrified of being abandoned. The sight of his scared and helpless little appearance could break anyone's heart.

"Don't cry."

Yun Qianyi gently stroked his little head.

However, the little boy instantly tensed up, covering his head and squatting on the ground: "Don't hit, little monster, little monster won't dare to do it again."

Yun Qianyi looked at him in astonishment.

The man was even more dumbfounded.

Because of his abnormal appearance, the little boy had been abused and called a monster since he was young. Even the servants of the house, when venting their frustrations they received from their master, would beat him up.

The previous owner even despised him to the extreme, believing that his existence was what ruined her chance to become the Seventh Emperor's wife, treating him unkindly and abusing him.

The little boy's life wasn't spent well, and he even developed a stutter because he was too scared to speak.

"I won't hit you, and I won't abandon you either."

Yun Qianyi sighed, wondering what unfortunate karma the previous owner has created!

She lifted the little boy up: "Mom will never hit you again."

The little darling didn't believe it, protectively clutching his head, afraid that she would let go and drop him.

Yun Qianyi felt immense heartache.

"Well, let's get in the car first." the man reminded, scratching his head.

Yun Qianyi climbed up into the vehicle with the little darling in her arms.

Inside the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Miss Yun Rui reported gleefully to the Marchioness: "You didn't see it, but that wretched woman's brother was as disheveled as a vagrant on the street. You could tell at a glance that he's so poor, he can't even afford a meal!"
