10 Chapter Nine (1/2)

Yu You Lei continued to examine her body, not even bothering to let those people kneeling on the floor get up.

First of all, due to the poison, her body had obviously been weakened quite a lot. What could have been healthy bones, muscles and stuff like that became thin, weak and fragile.

Yu You Lei could hardly even execute the simplest of martial skills at this stage, not to mention draw spiritual qi into her half-destroyed dantian. The move with the ribbon had also taken a lot out of her, along with running over to her sister's courtyard and running back.

Right now, her being unable and unwilling to get out from the bed was not an act!

If the poison was completely purged, Yu You Lei would probably be able to recover the vigour and strength from her past life in a few years. The potential of this body wasn't really too bad, and in all honesty, it might even be better than hers in the past.

Ignoring the factors concerning the muscles, strength and all that, were her meridians and dantian. They'd already been almost completely destroyed by the poison, and recovering them would be no easy feat for normal people.

Yet, how could Yu You Lei even be considered normal?

At most, it would only take a year for her to find some way to recover her meridians and dantian, and strengthen them.

With the more important aspects of her physical condition covered, Yu You Lei moved on to her mental condition, and the condition of her soul.

There was no need to mention her mental power. It was already top-notch, and almost comparable to a Grade 4 master of any profession. (10 being the lowest, 1 being the highest.)

One had to know, Grade 2 and 1 masters of any profession were practically stuff of legends. Even then, Yu You Lei was positive that in good time, her mental power would improve slowly but steadily.

The more pressing problem was her soul. Yu You Lei's body hadn't fully accepted her soul yet, and as such, she needed to avenge the original owner as soon as possible. Only then, would the body truly allow her to peacefully possess it.

Even after getting revenge, however, she would still need a few months of recovery and adapting to completely be accepted.

With that in mind, Yu You Lei made a list of all the things she needed to do.

First of all, she needed to get rid of the poison. Next, she would probably need a suitable weapon for. . . Self defense. If the time was ripe, she would try to start on her plans for revenge. If not, she could look for some cultivation manuals, pills and resources, and begin to cultivate.

After her revenge, she could live a peaceful life in a little cottage, somewhere in a remote village.

She didn't want power, fame and glory like in her past life! Look what it cost her?

All she wanted to do was sleep, eat, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

She also couldn't forget about her family - the previous Yu You Lei had clearly stated her father was a good person. She'd probably appreciate it if her father could also enjoy a life free of troubles.

With a rough idea of what she needed to do, Yu You Lei slowly got up from the bed.

Just after she took a few steps, her knees weakened and she almost fell flat on her butt.

Luckily, the vanity table was nearby, and Yu You Lei managed to move her body in such a way she sat on the chair.

She silently grumbled under her breath. It seemed the condition of her body was worse than she thought.

Yu You Lei looked up, into the bronze mirror in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, seeing the girl in the reflection.

The girl staring back at her had an all too familiar face.
