Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Yun Qianxun opened her eyes, her whole body aching terribly, her shoulder wound burning, and blood still trickling from the corner of her mouth.

She lay on a soft bed in a clean and elegant room with calming incense burning, clearly the villa of a wealthy family.

A woman sitting next to her immediately stood up when she saw that she was awake: "You're awake? Don't move around, you're badly injured."

Yun Qianxun was stunned on the spot—

where is this?

I wasn't in Jiangnan Road before; I was besieged and injured by the Jiangnan Martial Alliance, fell into Taihu Lake, and then...

I can't remember.

Looking up, I saw a girl in a green dress, with delicate features and a gentle demeanor. She was clearly a well-educated and talented woman.

She couldn't help but speak, her voice hoarse and wary: "Who...are you? Where is this?"

The woman in green replied softly, "This is the Su family's Waterside Villa. My name is Fu Yaoqin."

You were injured yesterday and drifted across Taihu Lake. We rescued you, Mr. Su and I.

Yun Qianxun frowned, her eyes glazed over: "Why did you save me?"

Fu Yaoqin smiled gently: "I saw you were motionless in the water, I couldn't just stand by and watch you die!"

"By the way, miss, what's your name?"

Yun Qianxun lowered her guard a little when she saw that she spoke gently and looked very pleasant.

"My name is Yun Qianxun."

Fu Yaoqin raised her hand to pour her a cup of tea, her fingertips lightly touching the handle of the cup, and looked up at her with a gentle smile:

"A fine name! A thousand-mile jade shadow stands amidst the mortal world, a pure face dwells by the moonlit edge for ten thousand miles."

Yun Qianxun turned her face away, avoiding her kind gaze, her tone as cold as ice:

"No, I am actually someone who has traveled through countless mountains and found no place to return, and who has searched the world for revenge."

Fu Yaoqin's heart skipped a beat.

These words, spoken by a girl as pure as snow, carried an even greater sense of desolation than frost falling on a cold night, a chilling indifference tinged with an unyielding sorrow.

What exactly did she go through?

Why are you in such a state of mind?

She began to scrutinize Yun Qianxun closely—

Even though the woman in front of me was pale and injured, she was still incredibly beautiful and had no trace of worldliness about her.

Her features were cold and aloof, her temperament as pure as snow, just like the fairy in the painting, except that there was too much fierceness in her eyes.

Fu Yaoqin suddenly felt an impulse to gently soothe the fierce aura emanating from her.

She approached Yun Qianxun with a cup of tea in her hand: "Miss Yun, please have some tea!"

Yun Qianxun didn't answer. As she approached, he just stared at her, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

This woman possessed a very clean aura, like a pool of clear water, yet...

There was also a faint scent about her that he found both extremely repulsive and extremely familiar.

That is......

That's Xie Xiaoyi's aura!

It's subtle, yet it can't be hidden.

Yun Qianxun frowned instantly when Fu Yaoqin handed her the tea.

That's right, it's Xie Xiaoyi...

She was very familiar with this aura; it seemed that the lecherous thief had used some kind of dual cultivation technique on her back then.

When he forced himself on her, he forcefully poured a stream of true energy into her body, and then withdrew it.

At first, I didn't feel anything, until I learned the Great Soul Searching Hand, which allowed me to perceive the spiritual energy that didn't belong to me.

Only then did she realize that the scent Xie Xiaoyi left on her had become a stain she could never erase for the rest of her life.

The aura emanating from the girl in front of him, which didn't belong to her, was exactly the same as the inescapable aura on his own body.

Yun Qianxun's eyes instantly turned cold, and her tone became even icier: "What is your relationship with Xie Xiaoyi?"

"Xie Xiaoyi? I don't know him!"

"What about Xie Mo?"

Upon hearing the name "Xie Mo," Fu Yaoqin blushed instantly, her eyes softening with a mixture of shyness and pride: "He...he is the one I love."

These words were like an ice pick, piercing Yun Qianxun's heart.

She stared intently at Fu Yaoqin, and from the expression on her face, she immediately understood that Xie Xiaoyi and she were lovers.

Thinking about how that bastard raped her and ruined her life, her heart ached with hatred, and her fingers trembled.

The woman before him was Xie Xiaoyi's confidante.

And she herself was a woman ruined by Xie Xiaoyi.

night.

The surroundings are quiet, but my mind is not at peace.

Lying alone.

The turmoil was difficult to calm down.

Two stunning beauties, one gentle as water, the other aloof as ice; one is the open and honest lover, the other a vengeful avenger hidden in the shadows.

The room was eerily quiet, with the candlelight flickering softly.

Fu Yaoqin felt a little flustered under her gaze, and her hand trembled as she held the teacup. She asked softly, "You...you know Xie Mo too?"

Yun Qianxun gave a bitter smile: "Of course I know him, how could I not know him?"

Fu Yaoqin was startled by her expression, her voice trembling: "What...what happened between you and Xie Mo?"

"Miss Fu, how did you come to know Xie Xiao... Mo?"

Fu Yaoqin then briefly recounted how Qingjiang City and Xie Xiaoyi met, became acquainted, and eventually fell in love at first sight.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qianxun stared intently at Fu Yaoqin.

She was so clean and pure, untouched by any impurity, with gentle eyes and brows, like a white lotus in the morning dew, unblemished by any dust.

But the person she loved was Xie Xiaoyi.

On what grounds?

Why should I be tormented by that lecherous scoundrel and bear this stigma for the rest of my life?

Why should I traverse thousands of mountains and rivers just for revenge, filled with resentment and unable to sleep at night?

Xie Xiaoyi, however, was able to feign kindness and be treated with such affection by this clean-looking girl, who regarded him as her beloved.

Why is she living in the mire while he embraces the light?

Hatred surged within me, and my heart tightened.

Since that's the case, let's tear down this illusion and tell her Xie Xiaoyi's true colors in detail.

Let this white lotus also taste the bitterness of falling from the clouds to hell.

Thinking of this, Yun Qianxun slowly sat up, supporting her injured body. She raised her hand and ripped open her clothes with a quick and ruthless motion, revealing her snow-white collarbone and chest.

Fu Yaoqin was stunned for a moment, completely frozen in place.

She subconsciously looked at Yun Qianxun's chest, where the skin was snow-white and the contours were beautiful, even as beautiful as her own.

But the next glance revealed a pale, old scar that stood out starkly.

Yun Qianxun noticed the slight change in her expression and knew why she was shocked.

She pointed to the scar with her finger and sneered:

"See this? These teeth marks are from Xie Mo, the man you love, when he forced himself on me."

He forced her... to bite?

Fu Yaoqin froze on the spot, the tea in her hand crashed to the ground, and she involuntarily took two steps back.

Yun Qianxun stared at her face, her tone seemingly ordinary, yet every word pierced her heart:

"He's not Xie Mo, his name is Xie Xiaoyi."

"He is a notorious womanizer, a lecher, and the most notorious of the five vices in heaven and earth."

"Heaven on Earth is a wicked sect that specializes in producing womanizers, and he is the worst one in it."

"He forced me and humiliated me. He has completely ruined my life."

Fu Yaoqin knelt down with a thud, clutching her head and shaking her head desperately, her voice trembling: "I don't believe it... I don't believe it!"
