Borrowed Resurrection

Liu Zhixi climbed out of her coffin without any sense of urgency to even dust the dirt that buried her off her clothes. She stared in Li Chengfeng's direction with a complex look in her eyes. “I never would have guessed that you were one for infatuation,” she whispered slowly.

When she spoke, the skin on her face suddenly started to crawl. As she raised her hand, a gust of wind began blowing from all around her and the dust on her body fell as she was completely engulfed in the wind.

The tornado that was wrapped around her twisted and spun. Not long after, it slowly dissipated, revealing the woman inside.

This woman had died and been resurrected, the dirt on her body had long since dispersed, her clothes looked spotless. But the skin on her face shed like snakeskin, like grains of sand scattering off her face bit by bit. Her original face had gone through a dramatic change.

The Liu Zhixi who originally had two finely curved crescent eyebrows now possessed two straight-feather jade brows. Her pair of slim monolids had now become a pair of large and charming, peachy eyes. Although her nose is still tall and defined, the tip of her nose had become much plumper, making it appear rounder and more delicate. Her originally thin and white lips had turned into plump and ruddy diamond-shaped lips, especially the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, seductive and playful as ever.

After her face had completely transformed, she scoffed. Her voice was now crisp and beautiful, like a silver bell. “These pesky b*stards from the Zhan family had been chasing me from the great Northwest to my grandaunt's home. Thank goodness I got away by faking my death! I'll definitely make them pay one day!” Liu Zhixi said.

It turned out, this person was the 'Cheng Qianfang' that the black-robed men employed by the ZhanfFamily had been hunting for all this while. When she found out that her whereabouts had become known, she devised a plan to fake her death. In the exact moment Qiu Liansheng had cut Cheng Qianfang, who was pretending to be Su Zhixian, Cheng Qianfang had already made her primordial spirit leave and enter through the ground into the body of Liu Zhixi who was hidden underneath the bed, borrowing her body and returning her soul.

Su Zhixian, who had lost the primordial spirit of Cheng Qianfang, was already decapitated. And naturally, Su Zhixian was now undoubtedly dead. Yet Liu Zhixi who had previously pa.s.sed away was now resurrected due to receiving Cheng Qianfang's primordial spirit.

Cheng Qianfang wanted to wait until the coast was clear. She waited until the body was buried and the mourning crowd had dispersed. It was only then when she decided to break out from the grave.

But what 'Cheng Qianfang' did not expect was that this man who had nothing but a bad reputation, the unconventional and unrestrained young master of the Li family would be able to harbour this level of infatuation!

'Cheng Qianfang' had been escaping the relentless pursuit of the Zhan family. With the dragon flames burning in her body, she had already planned on borrowing a corpse to avoid the dragon flames altogether. But she never found an empty and suitable body, until she saw Liu Zhixi in Cheng'an city.

More coincidentally, when she had finally put together her plans and decided to murder Liu Zhixi in cold blood, she realized that Liu Zhixi was already dead! This saved her the trouble of killing her herself. And even more, coincidentally, the sudden break-in and chaos caused by some meddlesome young man played perfectly into her own plans. Although there were some b.u.mps in the road, in the end, she had finally achieved “death” in front of a large crowd and successfully transferred her own soul into Liu Zhixi's corpse.

But, that meddlesome young man….

'Cheng Qianfang' stood still for a while, her eyes twinkling. Her mind deep in thought, 'He had some kind of golden light protecting his body inside of him… this force seems to be of immortal power! Could this be the traitorous immortal who escaped 19 years ago?'

When she thought of this, 'Cheng Qianfang's heart pounded in her chest and her breathing was troubled! “If he really was the traitorous immortal reborn… and maybe if I could steal his immortal yuan, I would be able to escape the cage of being a demon and become an immortal being!” she thought.

'Cheng Qianfang' couldn't help but let out a huge guffaw.
