Friend?
She never had any friends in her entire life. This word was utterly strange for her.
Maybe this girl was Zhen Xiu's close acquaintance, but from now onwards she was Zhen Xiu and would refer to herself as Zhen Xiu, not Yun Xiu.
Yun Xiu was her past.
She was kind of happy to gain this new chance at life.
Shen Ya, the name sounded familiar to her. She tried thinking and caught a memory of two girls having pillow fights, living together and teasing each other. This was quite a good memory.
As for Shen Ya, she was currently worried about Zhen Xiu. However, she was extremely happy that her best friend was finally awake after these seven long months.
"Let me call the doctor." Said Shen Ya.
...
After a few check-ups, the doctor was stunned to see the steady recovery in Zhen Xiu.
Just before she was one of the most impossible cases that were difficult to cure. Yet somehow, her vitals were perfectly fine as if she was never in a coma before.
Although it shocked the doctor, Shen Ya seemed very happy. Later, Shen Ya thanked the doctor and asked him to leave.
Well, judging by her attitude, she looks like a bold person, perfect for her taste.
Zhen Xiu had always wanted a friend but never got one. Life was cruel to her.
"Xiu are you alright? It's been too long." Shen Ya cried.
"I am fine." Zhen Xiu hoarsely whispered.
Shen Ya was quiet for a moment but decided to bite the bullet and said, "Xiu you should divorce that scoundrel. Do you know he has never visited you in these past seven months? He is such an emotionless human and yet, you love him."
Scoundrel!
It must be her husband.
So, that bastard of a husband really didn't care about the original Zhen Xiu, yet she wanted him to love her back.
Zhen Xiu felt that the original owner of her current body was really pitiful.
Life is beautiful when one lives like a normal monk, free from desires and emotions like love. It only gives us painful memories.
"Shen Ya, these past few months must have been difficult for you. Let me rest for a while." Zhen Xiu asked her so that she could reorganize her new memory and part away with her old memory.
Right now, what Zhen Xiu needed the most was peace and if Shen Ya remained here, she would speak endless things about her husband making it difficult for her to plan her next moves. She had to make sure that the scoundrel husband falls in love with her.
She already had a lot on her plate.
"But Xiu…." Shen Ya was reluctant to leave her.
"Okay. Be careful I will visit you tomorrow morning." Shen Ya patted her hair and left.
Finally, Zhen Xiu closed her eyes and tried to enter her celestial primordial space.
'Let's see if I can enter inside it after I lost my original body.' She thought.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly she felt a change in energy and opened her eyes. She was shocked to see her celestial space. It looked advanced as if it had been upgraded.
Why?
Before her death, everything was just normal then what was the reason for this upgrade?
She remembered her shameful death. It was terrible. She died while eating dumplings. Her father was too cruel and ruthless yet people said she was evil.
They were all bags of poop!
Her father was a coward who attacked her behind her back. Zhen Xiu still could not believe that she died in such a tragic way. For a pinnacle expert like her to die like this was worse than suicide.
Zhen Xiu lamented on her tragic fate.
What can she do? It was life. It doesn't matter what one wants, life goes on as it wants to go.
'You are free now. Don't think about those rascals anymore.' She encouraged herself.
[True. You are free now but must fulfill the promise first.] Zhen Xiu was stunned to hear an unfamiliar voice ringing in her ears.
(Who is it?)
The childish voice in her head laughed.
[Ha.. ha.. I am actually the primordial spirit that created your space. I needed a living sacrifice to awaken from my dormant state so you had to give your life to become my new owner.]
(Living Sacrifice? Why should I sacrifice myself? You think you are something special huh!)
Zhen Xiu mocked.
[You need to thank my original master because she sacrificed her life in order to let you live. Hence, I was able to transform myself into this form. You are now merged with her and this makes you my new master.]
The childish voice informed her.
Zhen Xiu was outrageous at the silly demand from the damn boy.
(What sacrifice? She was not doing a favor to me. For this life, I have to do a task so don't give me all this nonsense. I am not that good in handling my emotions.)
The primordial spirit appeared in front of Zhen Xiu's new and upgraded space. The primordial spirit was a seven-year-old brat. Zhen Xiu laughed at the new situation. This was hilarious.
A little brat is giving her orders like she was his slave. He was being too cocky.
(Shut up brat. Don't be too cocky. Remember this evil princess is your new master. Pay respect to master now.)
The primordial spirit was insulted. He was a primordial child. How can this mortal insult him like a pig? He had never been humiliated like this. Although he does not remember about his previous master; at least they have never treated him like this.
She was bad. Evil Girl!
[you!... you.] cried the little boy. His cheeks reddened.
(Aww!, are you angry? Too bad you got to learn how to behave) Zhen Xiu said and pinched his red cheeks.
They were too soft and she felt like eating them. They were plum like delicious fruit.
(What is your name? Tell me, brat.)
The boy became too red and gritted his teeth in anger.
[I am not a brat. I am Zoru the one and only primordial spirit in this entire universe.] He proudly announced wishing for praise.
(Oh! Zoru. Nice name but I will stick with the brat, now little brat, tell me about the half soul theory and merging with your previous master)
Zoru stomped his foot on the ground and turned around not giving her any clues.
How mean? She the evil princess was asking him and he dared to show her this petulant behavior. Not done, so not done!!!
Hence, Zhen Xiu pulled him back and smacked his butt hard.
[Aah! What are you doing?] cried Zoru. His big eyes were leaking huge drops of tears.
(Oh just dancing, nothing else. Don't mind me) Zhen Xiu said sarcastically.
Zoru felt like crying. How could his fate be so cruel? Why give him this demoness? All the previous masters were so sweet. BUT she was too cruel.
Too savage!
And what does she mean by don't mind me? He minds.
He minds it very much.
[Stop. I will tell you.] Zoru panted.
