I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

Gu Qici fell into a coma.

Or rather, in a dream.

The power she had integrated into her body flickered continuously, as if trying to express something.

Is this a dream?

maybe.

A place.

The rain was light on a cloudy day, but perhaps due to the surrounding woods, there was a hint of a downpour in the air.

In the woods, there was a dilapidated thatched hut, from which came the mournful cry of a girl, echoing through the heavens.

"Ah! Waaah! No, please don't hit me. I promise I won't steal again next time." The girl's pleas were filled with anguish.

Her eyes also went directly to the two burly men in front of her.

Two burly men, each holding a leather whip, stared fiercely at the girl. They were clearly not good people. The girl's clothes were tattered, and her face and body were covered in wounds. Her eyes were empty and lifeless, indicating that she had suffered great torment.

“You dare to steal our things? You’re asking for trouble, aren’t you?” one of the burly men shouted, kicking the girl a few times at the same time.

Ah! These kicks landed on the girl, and she screamed in pain again. Then she seemed to lose consciousness and fainted.

"Brother, what do you think? I heard that our Xuanmen sect is looking to replenish its bloodline and is recruiting qualified girls in various cities. It seems that she has been accepted and there is a reward of ten taels of silver... I think we should pretend to be the girl's family and then... hehe!" Another burly man said with a sinister smile when he saw the unconscious girl.

"Hahaha! Second brother, that's a good idea! Alright then! Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man picked up the girl and slowly walked out of the woods, with another burly man following closely behind.

……

In front of the gate of a luxury mansion.

The two burly men who had knocked the girl unconscious walked out of the gate as if they had found a treasure.

"I didn't expect that girl would actually qualify," one of the burly men said.

"Hmm? That's right, but those people looked at the girl rather strangely," another burly man said with a hint of doubt.

"Who cares! There are some things we don't need to know, as long as we get the money." The burly man shook his head and said, his tone tinged with greed.

"Yes, you're right! But it's really easy to earn ten taels of silver! I wish there were more opportunities like this in the future."

"Who knows?"

And so, the two men left the girl there, took the money, and left one after the other. Little did they know that their unintentional act would give the girl an unforgettable experience that would change her destiny.

……

Inside the mansion.

The girl opened her eyes with difficulty, startled instinctively, then closed them tightly again, clutching her head with both hands and shouting, "Don't hit me, don't hit me, I won't steal anymore... don't hit me!"

A moment later, there was still no sound around. The girl was surprised, but she did not open her eyes immediately.

Yes, she was afraid, she was very afraid.

She feared that when she opened her eyes, she would be met with another beating and the disgusted looks of those people.

Perhaps it was because she had no parents from a young age, perhaps it was because she had always lived in a poor area, perhaps it was because she was afraid of being beaten again for stealing a bun, or perhaps it was because of her deep despair for the world.

"Hey! Don't worry! No one here can hurt you, so don't worry!"

Just then, a soft and sweet voice reached the girl's ears.

"Hmm?" Hearing this voice, the girl felt even more curious. She really wanted to see who this person was; that was her first thought.

Finally, she slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was not the cruel environment she had imagined, but a beautiful room.

She sat on the bed, carefully observing the house. Unlike the chaotic state of the impoverished area, the house was neatly arranged, and the decorations and furnishings were both beautiful and harmonious.

Then she noticed that her tattered clothes were gone, replaced by a set of bright and beautiful silks and satins.

This made her feel increasingly uneasy.

Finally, she looked at the owner of the soft, sweet voice in front of her, who was an ordinary-looking woman.

Judging from her attire, she should be a maidservant.

"Hehe! Are you alright?" the maid asked with a smile.

"Me? I..." The girl had never seen such an environment before, nor had anyone been so polite to her as this woman. She couldn't adapt to it for a moment, so she stammered and couldn't think of a good way to answer the woman in front of her.

"It's alright. The young mistress instructed us to take good care of you. Just tell me if you need anything!"

"I……"

Glug, glug!!!

Just as the girl was about to say something, a few small sounds came from inside her stomach.

The girl immediately took back what she was about to say, lowered her head, and looked shyly at the maid, as if she was a little embarrassed.

The girl's actions left the maid speechless.

But I also understood what the girl wanted.

"Wait a moment," the maid said, and immediately ran out.

The girl then truly woke up from her coma. With a quick grab, she put on the clothes around him.

She slowly walked out of the room and looked around at the scenery. She didn't know why she was there, nor did she know where she got her beautiful silk dress. So, in this intense confusion, she suddenly had the idea of ​​leaving.

Perhaps that's why she started turning left and right in this mansion she had never seen before, trying to find an exit.

But the mansion was just too big; just walking around like this was giving him a headache.

A moment later, he finally stopped, panting, at the foot of an artificial hill. Looking around, he couldn't help but complain, "Seriously, what kind of place is this? How can it be so big?"

"This is my house, so it's normal for it to be big."

Suddenly a slightly high-pitched voice reached her ears, and before she could react, a middle-aged woman appeared in front of her.

"Who are you?" the girl asked cautiously, her body instinctively pressing against the artificial hill, her eyes fixed on the middle-aged woman who had suddenly appeared.

"Me?" The middle-aged woman pointed to herself, then laughed, "Hehe, you don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I brought you here..."

"I heard from Xiaoqin that you ran away, so I came to find you." The middle-aged woman paused, then continued,

"Xiaoqin?"

"It's that woman from just now."

"Oh? Then why did you bring it here?"

"This?" The middle-aged woman stroked her chin, looking thoughtful, and then smiled again, "You'll find out later. Now, come back with me!"

"I……"

But just as she was about to refuse, she suddenly felt a pain in her neck, and then her vision went black, and she fainted again.

A moment later, a beautiful woman dressed in purple appeared out of thin air behind her and gently picked her up.

"Honestly, you treat girls like this." The middle-aged woman said irritably.

"Oh! Now you're blaming me? Didn't I tell you this girl is crucial? Why did you let her run around everywhere? What if she gets out? Can you handle the consequences?" The woman glared at her, clearly angry.

"This, this... it was an accident, an accident... hehe... we haven't run away yet, have we?" the middle-aged woman said with a grin.

Seeing the middle-aged woman like this, the woman shook her head, sighed, looked at the girl, and continued, "It's getting late, let's hurry up and take this girl there."

"Alright!" the middle-aged woman said regretfully, "I was hoping she could enjoy this world a little longer. What a pity..."

"What's there to regret? She'll only die if she fails. If she succeeds, she'll definitely thank us..." the woman said indifferently.

"That's true, but I really didn't expect that this girl's compatibility with it would be so much higher than that of the others..." the middle-aged woman said in surprise.

"It's impressive, but if this girl also fails, then we can only give up on bringing it to the light of day again," the woman said.

“If that’s really the case, then we can only say it’s fate.” At this moment, the middle-aged woman suddenly turned her gaze to the gloomy sky and said.

……

The girl felt a chill and woke up from her sleep again.

This is a cave, and apart from the faint light emitted by the ten torches arranged in left-right order around it, there is almost no light.

However, above the ten torches, there was a circular array about five meters in diameter, and in the center of the array, a figure sat motionless.

"Where is this?" the girl asked in a weak voice as she looked at the figure.

The figure did not answer, remaining motionless and sitting there, which was very eerie.

The girl frowned, sensing something was wrong. She tried to move her body, but to her surprise, she couldn't move it at all. It felt like she was frozen in place, unable to do anything except speak and think.

Not only that, but upon closer inspection, he found himself positioned slightly below the ten torches, with the same array beneath him as the figure, and sitting in the same central position as that figure.

The girl struggled for a moment, but realizing it was futile, she began to feel afraid again.

But she wasn't about to give up. She opened her throat and screamed, "Help! Help!!"

"What's the noise?"

A short while later, the middle-aged woman from before appeared before her like a ghost.

"What do you want?" The girl asked directly, suppressing her fear as she saw the middle-aged woman suddenly appear.

"Me? I don't want to do anything?" Seeing the girl's forced expression, the middle-aged woman found it amusing and couldn't help but tease her.

However, the middle-aged woman's words did not change the girl's expression; instead, they intensified the girl's fear, causing her to burst into tears.

"Hehe! Don't worry! As long as you cooperate, you'll be fine." The middle-aged woman was both amused and exasperated by the girl's crying, so she comforted her.

"Nothing will happen... You, are you serious?" The girl's heart skipped a beat when she heard the middle-aged woman's words, and she still asked with some lingering fear.

“Really, really, of course it’s true,” the middle-aged woman echoed. But inwardly she sighed, “Ah! If only you could come back to life from this perfect harmony.”

"Okay, can you let me move a little? I feel really uncomfortable." The girl's expectant eyes were fixed on the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman smiled, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing on her lips, and then said, "Okay."

At this moment, without the middle-aged woman making any move, the girl's body regained its ability to move after an extremely sudden tremor.

The girl wasn't stupid. Once her body reacted, she didn't hesitate to take off running in one direction. Clearly, she wanted to escape.

However, the direction she ran happened to coincide with the direction where the motionless figure had been, which seemed a bit strange, but the girl didn't care too much, because she just wanted to leave this place.
