Chapter 1: A Baffling Transmigration

Western Region of the Vast Cosmos Realm

Kun Yu City, the Wei Family residence

Inside an elegant bedroom in the rear courtyard, a child about five years old suddenly opened her eyes. She was still dazed, staring at the pink bed curtains above her for a long while. When she heard voices, she couldn’t judge the situation, so she closed her eyes again and pretended to sleep.

“Sister Chun Yu, what do you think our Miss should do from now on? Madam just passed away, and First Master is already in a hurry to make the concubine the official wife. Are we going to have to move out of Zhuo Hua Courtyard?”

“Xia Mo, shut up! Are these things for servants like us to discuss?”

Xia Mo seemed frightened. After a long pause, she finally spoke in a timid voice, “Sister Chun Yu, I don’t want to either, but this concerns our future…”

A long silence followed. In the end, Chun Yu spoke anyway, “Whether we get a good way out depends on whether Miss has talent for cultivation. As long as she can cultivate, even if First Master dislikes her, he won’t dare to bully her openly. Besides, Miss still has her mother’s family. I’m just afraid Miss is too young, listens to First Master, agrees to everything he says, and ends up wronging herself…”

Xia Mo echoed softly, “Madam protected Miss too well.”

“Let’s wait. Qiu Tao and Dong Mei already went to inform Madam’s brother. If Miss’s mother’s family can send someone, our little mistress won’t have to suffer in the open.”

“All we can do is that. Miss cried and cried until she fell asleep. When we carried her back, First Master didn’t even come look once. It’s pitiful!”

“Shh. No matter how pitiful she is, she’s still our master…”

Wei Yun Xi couldn’t listen to any more. Wasn’t this the opening of the immortal-cultivation romance novel *Qing Yun Zhi Shang* that she had written a 500-word negative review about? No wonder these names and this dialogue sounded so familiar!

At that moment, the door was pushed open gently. Wei Yun Xi hadn’t figured out how to react, so she kept pretending to sleep. She felt someone touch her forehead, then tuck the blanket around her, and after that, they left and closed the door softly.

Wei Yun Xi waited a while to make sure no one would come in again, then opened her eyes. She lay there recalling the plot and characters, and the more she thought, the colder her heart became. It felt like she had transmigrated in just to hand over a free kill.

Before she entered the book, the novel had still been ongoing. She had just caught up to the part where the supporting female character with her exact same name, Wei Yun Xi, was teamed up on by the female lead Wei Yun Qing and the male lead Sheng Yu Hong. They tore out her spirit root, dug out her golden core, and the supporting character exited the story on the spot.

The novel was set in the Vast Cosmos Realm and told a tangled love-and-hate story in the Cultivation World. It wore the skin of a powerful female lead, but in truth the female lead cultivated all the way with endless resources and the male lead’s protection, until the two of them ascended together in the end.

The supporting character Wei Yun Xi, who shared her name, was the first major cannon fodder in the early story. She and the female lead Wei Yun Qing were half-sisters with the same father. Both had excellent talent: the female lead had dual water-and-wood spirit roots, while the supporting character was even better, with a single lightning spirit root. In the end, both of them were sent by the Wei Family to Hao Ran Sect to cultivate.

After entering Hao Ran Sect, the two sisters met Hao Ran Sect’s Senior Brother Sheng Yu Hong. He was the leading figure of the sect’s new generation and was adored by the disciples.

Because her talent was outstanding, the supporting character Wei Yun Xi became a disciple under the Sect Master of Hao Ran Sect. She became Sheng Yu Hong’s junior sister, and her heart fell on Sheng Yu Hong as well.

Unfortunately, the male lead belonged to the female lead. Wei Yun Qing joined the Pill Hall Elder as a disciple with her dual water-and-wood roots. She rose to fame because she could refine pills beyond her level, and that drew Sheng Yu Hong’s attention.

Wei Yun Qing even used her little sister to get close to Sheng Yu Hong. When Wei Yun Xi refused to cooperate, the female lead began to hint at Wei Yun Xi’s faults in front of Sheng Yu Hong and secretly tripped Wei Yun Xi up.

Before Wei Yun Xi could guard against it, she became the female lead’s stepping stone, a walking ATM. Every time she fought back, she only helped the female lead shine even brighter.

In the end, during a secret realm trial organized by the sect, the female lead hinted for her followers to deal with the supporting character. It led to Wei Yun Xi turning blades on fellow disciples. At that moment, Wei Yun Qing jumped out to stop her sister, and in the process her spirit root and golden core were damaged by Wei Yun Xi. Senior Brother Sheng Yu Hong arrived in time, saved the one he loved, and captured Wei Yun Xi.

To repair the one he loved’s spirit root and golden core, Sheng Yu Hong decided to tear out Wei Yun Xi’s spirit root and dig out her golden core.

Her memories stopped abruptly there, because that had been the last chapter she read before she transmigrated here, after a gas pipeline explosion.

Thinking of that, Wei Yun Xi suddenly sat up and slapped the bed hard. “To hell with this! I’m done with it!” She didn’t want to be the female lead’s stepping stone or a walking ATM. When it came down to it, running was the best strategy.

She threw off the blanket and prepared to climb down, but the next moment left her awkward. She was too short, and sitting on the edge of the bed, her toes couldn’t even touch the floor. With this stubby little body and her five-year-old age, where could she run? She probably couldn’t even get out of the Wei residence.

As if they had heard movement, Chun Yu and Xia Mo pushed the door open lightly and saw their Miss hanging off the edge of the bed, stuck halfway. The two exchanged a look and hurried over.

“Miss, do you need to use the toilet? I’ll carry you,” Chun Yu said.

After speaking, she turned and ordered Xia Mo, “Go bring Miss’s chamber pot in.”

Wei Yun Xi, with an adult soul inside, had already reacted. She quickly adjusted her expression and spoke like she was about to cry, “Chun Yu, I miss Mother. I want to see Mother!”

Chun Yu and Xia Mo both froze. They understood that Miss had woken up and was looking for Madam, so Chun Yu coaxed her gently, “Miss, Madam has already gone…”

Wei Yun Xi ran through every miserable thing she had ever been through in her mind, then forced out two tears and choked, “You’re lying to me! I don’t believe it. Take me to Mother’s room. I want to wait for her there!”

“Miss…”

“I don’t care. Take me over there. I’ll definitely be able to wait for Mother…”

Wei Yun Xi took advantage of being a child. She cried and made a fuss, insisting on going to her mother Feng Jia Yun’s room.

In the end, the two senior maids couldn’t persuade her. They could only wrap her in a thin little quilt and carry her to the main courtyard where Madam had lived.

The two maids had just left the side courtyard with Wei Yun Xi in their arms when they ran into First Master Wei Ling Yue at the entrance to Madam’s courtyard.

Wei Ling Yue wore a long robe embroidered with cloud patterns, and a white jade crown held up his hair. His looks were ordinary, but as a cultivator, his aura made him seem more outstanding.

When Wei Ling Yue saw the three of them, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he still spoke, “Why did you carry Miss over here?”

Chun Yu and Xia Mo were surprised to run into First Master here. After curtsying, Chun Yu answered, “First Master, Miss refused to sleep. She kept insisting on coming here to wait for Madam…”

Wei Yun Xi was an adult inside and saw the man’s displeasure clearly, but right now she was a child. She could only struggle and stretch out her arms. “Daddy, carry me!”

Wei Ling Yue’s gaze flickered, and he didn’t reach out right away.
