Divine Emperor of Fate

Chapter 3

Feng Yu gently lowered her to the ground and reached out to caress Jun Jiao's head, speaking softly, "Jiao Jiao, let's get you changed into some dry clothes first. Afterward, wait a bit, and big brother will fetch some water for you."

Jun Jiao looked at Feng Yu, her emotions complex, and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay."

Upon hearing her response, Feng Yu let out a sigh of relief and exited the room.

Once Feng Yu had left, Jun Jiao didn't immediately change her clothes. Instead, she looked around.

It was a room with an ancient and elegant decor. The furnishings were simple yet clean. This had been her residence since her reincarnation...

As she contemplated her reincarnation, Jun Jiao rubbed her forehead. She still felt somewhat bewildered. While she had mentioned that if the Underworld's deathly aura wasn't enough, she could switch to another world and another Underworld, she hadn't expected to actually be reborn in a different world!

The world she now found herself in was known as the Zhongchen Continent. It was home to four major empires and numerous smaller nations. The body she had been reborn into belonged to a young lady from a declining aristocratic family in the capital city of the Azure Empire.

The original owner of this body was also named Jun Jiao, but she was different from the evil spirit Jun Jiao. In the Zhongchen Continent, strength was paramount. Those with spiritual roots absorbed the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate spiritual power, while those with strong physical bodies cultivated martial prowess. The body she now inhabited lacked spiritual roots, possessing neither spiritual power nor physical strength.

How weak was she?

She would wheeze after taking just three steps and cough after five. Walking a few more steps would become an arduous task, rendering her breathless. Her fragility was unimaginable.

Had she been born into an ordinary family, she might have succumbed long ago. However, when the original owner was born, the Feng family wasn't in decline. While it might not have been the top aristocratic family in the Azure Empire, it was still formidable. Therefore, from a young age, the original owner received nourishment from spirit medicines. Despite frequently falling ill during her childhood, she managed to survive due to the care she received.

However, things took a turn when the Feng family encountered troubles. The original owner's parents and two older brothers disappeared one after another. At the time of her parents' disappearance, Feng Yu was twelve years old, and the original owner was ten.

When her two older brothers disappeared, Feng Yu was fourteen, and the original owner was twelve.

Now, the original owner was fifteen, and for the past three years, she had never lacked spirit medicines. These medicines were all purchased by Feng Yu, who struggled to support his sister. He took on dangerous missions from the academy to earn money for the spirit medicines.

It was tough and perilous work, but Feng Yu believed that by doing this, he could continue to provide his sister with the medicine she needed. However, what he hadn't anticipated was that while he was at the academy, his sister would be mistreated by the family's servants. Some servants with ulterior motives had even attempted to assault her. If it hadn't been for their nanny risking her life to protect her, the original owner would have lost her innocence.

After the nanny's sacrifice, Feng Yu, fearing such incidents would happen again, pleaded with his teacher. Eventually, the teacher allowed him to bring his sister to live in the academy, where she resided in the same courtyard as him.

He thought that by doing this, there would be no more trouble. Yet, trouble had still found them.

Previously, they had merely taunted and bullied the original owner a few times. When she refused to react, they grew bored. But this time, they pushed her into the water. By the time Feng Yu arrived, she was already gone, and it was Jun Jiao who had awakened.

However...

Reflecting on all the memories, Jun Jiao noticed a puzzling issue. The original owner's parents and brothers all had the surname Feng, so why was the original owner called Jun Jiao?

Just as Jun Jiao was pondering this, Feng Yu returned. Seeing that Jun Jiao was still wearing wet clothes without changing, Feng Yu hurriedly approached and asked, "Jiao Jiao, why haven't you changed your clothes?"
