Chapter 5: Ahh I got transmigrated as a small villainess! (1/2)
A short while later, there was a fast flash of lightning followed swiftly by a rumble of deafening thunder. A huge breeze blew shaking the entire capital, seconds later it began to rain heavily.
A few streets away at the servants sleeping Quarters of Minister Zhu's residence, a shivering slim Young girl laid on her back on a hard wooden bed. The rest of the occupants all ran out as soon as the ran started, to bring in clothes and other delicates that could be destroyed by the rain. Only the girl huddled up in thick blankets was left.
A bright light came over the young girl wrapped in blankets, Su Liya opened her eyes wide as the light disappeared. She was in an unfamiliar room, Everything about the room seemed off,it was nothing like her small apartment.
The decor of the entire room was completely off, It didn't look modern. There were no bulbs or electric fans in the room, instead there were traditional chinese lamps hanging on the walls. It was a widespread room made of wood and bare of little or no decoration.
The only decorative items were a small vase plant and a plain aged embroidery piece hanging on the wall. The room looked like it stepped out of a historical drama.
Su Liya sat up slowly, she didn't want to make any sudden move that would worsen her splitting headache. She hissed as she clutched the right side of head and felt a slight bump covered by a wet bandage.
”What is this!” She murmured quickly bringing her hand down. She did she caught a wimp of the metallic smell of blood as she did. Her brow creased, She looked down to find her hands stained with blood, Shocked Su Liya got down from the hard bed in search of a mirror.
The room swayed as soon as her leg touched the ground, She fell to the side. She grabbed onto the nearest structure which was the long pole of the bed to wedge her fall. Su Liya stayed like that for a few minutes, She counted to three before letting go of her surport and stood carefully.
She felt a little nauseous as she walked forward, the nausea lasted for five minutes before it subsided. From the window the patter tap splash sound of rain was heard, cold breeze blew into the dim room making her shiver.
The room was lit by five lamos scattered at intricate parts of the room. Su Liya squinted as she searched for a mirror.
Su Liya felt a little puzzled ”Just where did she send me? that I can't find a mirror” She thought as she checked the various corners of the room.
Su Liya immediately remembered her strange conversation with the Heavenly Empress.
”Finally You are are awake. I am Mazu, the heavenly empress. You are about to die but I saved you. What would you do, if I said I have a way to help you live?”
Her last sentence caught Su Liya's attention, She stood straight.
The Heavenly Empress smiled and said holding out her hands ”Take my hand if you want to live.”
Su Liya took a big step back ”what.. I don't understand?”.
The Heavenly Empress smiled, she brought down her hand and said ”You must be surprised by everything so I will explain everything as well as I can.”
Su Liya bit her lips gently and nodded
”Liya You are dead, you were struck by lightning and died a few minutes ago. However, since you haven't achieved much in your life, we are willing to give you a second chance at Life_”
