AWB Chapter 217 Extra·Qi Yuan
Chapter 217 Extra·Qi Yuan
Qi Yuan felt incredibly unlucky. On her way home as usual, a flowerpot fell from the sky and crushed her to death.
She thought she would appear in the underworld and be reincarnated, but when she arrived, she was shocked to find that the line of ghosts waiting to be reincarnated stretched from the underworld all the way to the human world. She was at the very back of the line, with an endless expanse in front of her.
Qi Yuan: "..."
Fortunately, she was the first ghost, and because she had done many good deeds in her previous life, she was given the chance to be reborn.
Hey, not bad either.
I don't know when I'll be reborn. Hmm, in novels, people are always reborn at three and a half years old and become rich with their whole family.
Qi Yuan was looking forward to it.
Good news: I have indeed been reborn to the age of three and a half.
Bad news: I've been reborn into another world, starting as a dying wolf cub.
He had no parents, no one to love him, and he almost ended up returning to the underworld.
Qi Yuan: "..."
Fortunately, she was lucky enough to fall off a cliff and obtain a peerless martial arts manual.
It also comes with an old lady who is always with you, namely the Nightmare Granny.
Granny Nightmare was a remnant soul who waited for thousands of years and finally found a successor. After she guided Qi Yuan in cultivating the technique, her remnant soul was able to continue to exist.
The two got what they wanted: Granny Nightmare relied on Qi Yuan to restore her remnant soul, while Qi Yuan received her guidance.
Before her fall, Granny Nightmare was a powerful figure in the demon realm. Under her guidance, and with Qi Yuan's talent, Qi Yuan quickly gained the ability to protect herself.
Afterwards, she took the ring that Granny Nightmare had possessed and went to the nearest city to slowly find out where she had been reborn.
A demon realm in another world—this isn't rebirth, it's transmigration!
In fact, it could also be described as a rebirth, since she had lived a second life. Qi Yuan secretly regretted not asking the mansion staff about it.
But since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it. Better to live a miserable life than die a good death. We'll live one day at a time.
After finding a place to stay, Qi Yuan focused on cultivation. In this world, the strong rule, and the weak struggle to even survive.
Fortunately, with the help of Granny Nightmare, Qi Yuan, though alone and without relatives, at least had someone to accompany and teach her.
The demon king of the northern demon realm where she lived was a wolf demon, the same race as Qi Yuan, but she never thought that she had any connection with the demon king.
After all, the Demon King's child was surrounded by servants and was always accompanied by them. How could he fall off a cliff?
Qi Yuan had met the Demon King's daughter on the street; she was the little princess of the Northern Demon Realm, the Demon King's most beloved darling.
The Demon King had only one child, and he gave her the best of everything.
Qi Yuan is different; she is just a little wolf cub whose parents are nowhere to be found or whether they are alive or dead.
Besides, she wasn't the wolf cub herself; she was just transmigrated into her body.
Qi Yuan continued to live her peaceful but comfortable life. Granny Yan was strict with her in terms of cultivation, but she was very kind in general, just like an elder in the family.
Unfortunately, such days did not last long. As the Demon King fell seriously ill, the demons under his command formed a rebel army, started a war, and attempted to seize the throne of the Demon King.
Despite her illness, the Demon King went to the front lines to quell the rebellion, only to be ambushed. Her whereabouts were revealed by the little princess she cherished.
Fortunately, the Demon King escaped with the desperate cover of his subordinates and did not fall into the hands of those people, disappearing without a trace.
News of the Demon King's disappearance quickly spread throughout the entire Northern Demon Realm, throwing the Northern Demon Realm into complete chaos, while other parts of the Demon Realm remained unaffected.
The other demon kings, along with the major families of Wushang City, are all waiting for the Northern Demon Domain to be severely weakened so they can take advantage of the situation and get a share of the spoils.
Because they were of the same race, the royal family had a good relationship with the demon king, but they were too busy taking care of themselves to offer him any help.
"This place is in complete chaos, A-Yuan, let's go somewhere else."
Granny Nightmare looked at the shops whose doors were tightly closed during the day and said to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan didn't care, "Okay, Mother-in-law, where are we going?"
"I've been dead for many years and am not familiar with the demon realm. I'll head south and see how things go."
At least we should get away from the war here. Although Qi Yuan is a talented girl, she hasn't been cultivating for long. If she encounters a strong person, Granny Yan is afraid she won't be able to protect her.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go pack my things and leave tonight."
Qi Yuan skipped out of the house. She was only in her early twenties when she died, still very young. She was only sixteen years old now and was always lively in front of Granny Yan.
Granny Nightmare smiled as she watched her leave, then checked her own cultivation level.
She and Qi Yuan have a contractual relationship; Qi Yuan's cultivation will boost her own cultivation level.
She had good talent for cultivation when she was alive, but after she died, following Qi Yuan, her cultivation speed increased by more than twice as fast.
However, she spent most of her time reshaping her physical body. Although her cultivation level wasn't top-tier, she could at least protect Qi Yuan and help her leave the Northern Demon Domain to a safe place.
"Mother-in-law--"
Qi Yuan's deliberately lowered, slightly panicked voice came from outside. Fearing that something might happen to her, Granny Yan quickly came out of the house.
As soon as she stepped outside, she froze. She saw Qi Yuan standing in the courtyard, and by the wall was a person whose fate was unknown. It looked like he had climbed over the wall.
Qi Yuan dared not approach that person. She had cultivated for so long, and at most she had killed demonic beasts. Upon seeing someone who looked like a dead person, she felt a little scared.
Granny Nightmare frowned and walked over, turning the person over. "Demon King?"
Qi Yuan was taken aback and looked over as well. She had seen the Demon King before; she was a kind and amiable middle-aged woman with a good temper, but she was not someone to be trifled with. Under her rule, the Northern Demon Domain was the most powerful of the four major demon domains in the demon world.
"Grandma, what should we do? I heard that the Demon King is being hunted down."
Although the northern demon kingdom's capital city has not yet been captured by the rebels, their men have already infiltrated the city to search for the demon king's whereabouts.
Granny Nightmare's expression shifted, and instead of answering, she asked, "Ah Yuan, what do you intend to do?"
Qi Yuan scratched his head, looking at the Demon King with her eyes closed, "Let's heal her first. Once she's healed, let her go. After all, we're no match for the rebels."
Qi Yuan couldn't bring herself to leave it unattended, but there were many other things she couldn't do either; this was all they could do.
After all, she was just a little wolf demon in the Golden Core stage, and Granny Nightmare's cultivation level wasn't particularly high either. Any one of the rebels could easily crush the mother and daughter to death.
Having spent over a decade with Granny Nightmare, Qi Yuan had come to regard her as a mother figure in her heart.
The two carried the demon king into the house. Granny Nightmare cleaned up the bloodstains the demon king had made. They lived in a remote area, and someone had already secretly searched their house a few days ago, so they shouldn't be coming back anytime soon.
The Demon King thought she was going to die, but she went to quell the rebellion despite her illness. She thought she would die on the battlefield, but she was killed by her daughter whom she had doted on for more than ten years.
She clearly remembered that after falling into the ambush set by the rebels, her daughter walked beside the rebel leader and obediently called him father.
The Demon Queen recognized that person; he was one of her former husbands.
