Chapter 6: A World Without You (2)

Seeing Ming Xi in this state, Xiao Tong was truly frightened. If this was really the case, then the only way to cure the possession was to wake her mother first!

Xiao Tong scratched her tangled hair anxiously and called out, “Bai Ling, quickly fetch some water! I’ll see if I can wake Mother; otherwise, being possessed would be disastrous!”

Bai Ling nodded and brought a bowl of water from the courtyard. Xiao Tong took it and splashed it fiercely onto Ming Xi’s face—

With a splash, Ming Xi’s upper body was soaked again.

The bone-chilling cold surged once more, finally stirring Ming Xi’s consciousness a little.

She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling above. Her burning body still made her feel dizzy, as if every part of her was rebelling against her will.

But more than physical discomfort, the pressing question was… where was she? What had happened?

Wasn’t she poisoned and killed by the demon hunter’s treachery?

How was she still alive? And had she traveled back to ancient times? Could it be… her soul had transmigrated and was reborn in another body?

…And that body belonged to an ordinary human?

She forced herself to sit up and examined this body. The scenery around her and the memories of the original owner confirmed her suspicions.

“Mother! Mother, you’re finally awake =w=!” A childish voice echoed in her ears, calling out joyfully.

Ming Xi suddenly turned her head and saw a small figure standing by the bedside, looking at her with delight. According to the memories now in her mind, this child was the son of Ming Xi’s original owner.

Ming Xi rubbed her forehead, trying to piece together the chaotic memories. Her mind was a mess, utterly confused about what was going on.

How could she have been reborn in a human body?!

More precisely, she didn’t understand… why fate had allowed her to live!

She truly didn’t know whom she had offended in her past life. A peerless divine thief, brutally killed the day before her wedding, and now reborn in such a useless body?!

What was even harder to accept was that she inexplicably had a son!

This was… nothing short of an insult to her status as a widow before marriage!

“Mother! Mother, how are you feeling now?”

The child’s words made her head throb painfully, a painful reminder of her fiancé’s departure!

Otherwise, today would have been the day she married Xuanyuan Feng, and after marriage, they would have had an adorable child…

But all of that had long since become an unreachable dream!

“Mother?” Seeing Ming Xi in this state, Xiao Tong hurried over, “Mother, what’s wrong?”

“…Kid, don’t call me ‘Mother’!” For some reason, Ming Xi felt nothing but disgust toward everything before her.

Her mind was blank, tears streaming endlessly from her burning eyes.

She didn’t know why this was happening, nor why fate was playing such cruel tricks.

Feng was gone… now she was all alone?

What meaning did life have without Feng? Especially reborn as a pitiful, disgraceful wreck, forced to live a life without dignity?

Had the world gone mad? Why did it torment her so mercilessly, making her unable to live or die in peace?!

“Kid, is there a knife?” Ming Xi suddenly asked.

Xiao Tong was startled and hurriedly replied, “A knife? Mother, what are you going to do?”

“…Of course, to end it myself! Being reborn here was a mistake! Now… I have to find Feng! Even if he’s in the underworld, I must find him!”
