The girl in front of him was wearing a long purple embroidered black Hanfu dress which had a big phoenix design on its chest area; it looked like the phoenix would jump out any moment.
What was the most appalling thing about everything was the beauty who was wearing it! She was outwardly beautiful.
She had a fair complexion which felt like if touched, it will be stained. Her glowing purple eyes were so cold and captivating if stared on, one would feel chills running down their whole body.
Her long black hair was dancing in the air. Besides wearing few gold accessories on her hair, she didn't have anything extra on her still she was a beauty which could kill thousands of people with her looks alone.
"It took me one hundred years to finally get my hands on that power. One year to adapt me to be your granddaughter. You were always there in my ups and downs from the start. "
"If it weren't for that curse, you would have been with me as an immortal being. But don't worry; currently, I am powerful enough to give you a fruitful reward. "
Despite standing in front of him, he was hearing her voice close to his ears like a soft whisper which gave him chills.
She walked towards him and lightly tapped his forehead with her index finger.
*Badum Badum*
Feeling her soft finger's warm touch on his skin, his heart began to race persistently.
"No need to get so hyped up, it will be done in seconds. You have a tenuous heart right now. Be careful, or it might fail. "She spoke retracting her finger from his head.
"Forgive me, Deity! You may punish this servant if you wish!" He spoke with a panic tone.
She shook her head "No need."
After a while, she continued "Listen carefully. At the end of this week, Exactly at 11:23 pm, A fire would break out at the address which I sent you telepathically..A18-years old boy named Ying Shan would lose his life due to excessive smoke inhalation exactly at midnight. That would be your chance."
Zhang Chen peered at her in surprise" Great Deity, if I have perceived this properly, you want me to take over his body."
She smiled as she nodded her head "You have grown smarter than before. Yes, that's my reward for you. A new life again, that boy has everything that a teen boy in this world would dream of. Alas, His time is up. However, there are two things you must know."
" One, the old master Zhang will die at the same time due to a sudden heart attack. Two, Your memories would be wiped out. Chen, you can also choose to deny and ask for any other reward. The decision is yours to make. I-"
She suddenly stopped before shouting "Someone is here!"
She flicked her finger following by the darkness suddenly changed into her luxurious room in an instant. She also transformed into Zhang Yuxi who was sitting in the bed.
Zhang Chen couldn't even react properly. By the time everything was usual as before, he found himself sitting in a wheelchair.
*Knock knock*
"Yuxi, I know you clearly told me not to disturb you but this is quite important. Can I enter?" Madam Zhang's voice rang from outside.
"Yes, Come in, Mom!" Liz answered. Following by Madam Zhang entered her room.
"The thing is-" She was about to talk when she noticed Liz's pale complexion.
"Yuxi, Are you okay? Your face is so pale." She approached Liz, reaching out her hand to touch her.
However, Liz flinched and backed away avoiding her touch. "It's just airsickness after the long flight. I will be fine after proper rest. What was it you wanted to talk about?"
Retracting her hand, Madam Zhang pursed her lips "You know there are a swarm of reporters who wants to interview you after your arrival. Since it will be such a hassle to take each interview, your dad discussed it with them and decided to take only one interview which would be live broadcasted by the main media."
"It was planned to be taken in half an hour in the living room. Howbeit, you are sick, so I would just tell them to postpone it to tomorrow. You rest well, okay?"
Liz shook her head," No need. Prepare it as planned. I am fine. Don't worry much. It's just a mild headache."
Madam Zhang was hesitant "But-"
Liz cut her off " Mom, I said Don't worry. You know that I won't overwork myself no matter what. So, Go and inform them to prepare for the interview while I will prepare myself. Hmm?"
Madam Zhang sighed and nodded her head. Then her eyes landed on Zhang Chen. "Sorry, Dad for ruining your sweet reunion with your granddaughter. But she needs to get ready. I will take you to your room. You can talk to Yuxi later."
"Well then, I am taking Dad to his room. Remember if you feel sick again and want to postpone the interview, tell me immediately. Don't pressure yourself."
Madam Zhang began to push his wheelchair. 'Deity, The way they are defying your words time and time again. I hope you reconsider my request.' Zhang Chen thought.
Reading his thoughts, She replied telepathically 'Stop being sensitive. Remember, I am just a normal human being for outside.'
