Chapter 2 - I Steal a Family Heirloom from a God!?

Xiang Chang-Xi opened her eyes, she looked around and saw that she was in what seemed to be a white room, it was more like a prison. She smiled bitterly she should have known that she would not be reunited with her original family, every time she died, she would be trapped here for a long time.

"Hey young miss! Get over here, this old man wants to see your face!" Xiang Chang-Xi was shocked to hear another voice, normally she was alone in this endless white prison. She quickly turned around and saw an old man with a long white beard staring at her with his curious ocean blue eyes. He was wearing a long black robe, with intricately designed silver tigers, they looked like they were dancing on the robe. Xiang Chang-Xi looked at this old man, confusion evident on her face.

"Ahhh, such an ugly lady. Why couldn't I get a beauty!" The old man cried. Xiang Chang-Xi just turned around and walked away from this old man.

'How dare he call me ugly! I may not be the most beautiful lady, but I definitely was not ugly! He should look in a mirror, stupid old man!'

"Hey lady wait! Your name is Xiang Chang-Xi, right?" Xiang Chang-Xi stopped and turned around to face the old man once again, she hasn't heard anyone call her by that name in years. "So, it is you? Well, I have some great news to give you!" Xiang Chang-Xi just glared at the old man in response. "Girl what has happened to you is just cruel. In fact, it was not supposed to happen like this, so I Li Hongzhi will give you a gift!" Li Hongzhi said very seriously.

"Is that all?" Xiang Chang-Xi said quite disappointed. She eyes the old man up and down and laughed.

'Why would this old man want to give me a gift? I just want to die and reunite with my family. I have no need for a gift!' Xiang Chang-Xi thought quite dejected.

"If you accept this gift then you can save your father, sister and brother, while also getting revenge on Xiang Lifen and Gao Qiu," Li Hongzhi said while nodding his head up and down as if agreeing quite seriously with the idea of getting revenge. When Xiang Chang-Xi heard those names, her face went dark. "Missy listen here this old man is a God, so if you accept my gift then you can rule the world and get revenge!" Li Hongzhi said while looking at her.

"What's in it for you then?" Xiang Chang-Xi

Li Hongzhi was about to cough up blood at what this young miss said to him. 'Shit! She knows that I need something!'

"I am a God! I do not need anything from you! The gift I am going to give you is your mother's Dragon Ring, in order for the Dragon Ring to be activated you need to put a drop of your blood on it. Once you do that you will form a contract with my grandson, and you will need to look after him!" Xiang Chang-Xi looked at Li Hongzhi assessing everything about him.

'Look after his grandson, can't he do that? Useless old man, I am not even going to get out of this no matter what I say! That is it. I can't believe a single thing this old guy says.'

"Why is your grandson in my mother's ring?" Xiang Chang-Xi questioned after thinking it through. The more she thought the darker her face got.

"That does not matter, you will find out when you are stronger!" Xiang Chang-Xi just looked at him blankly, took the ring from the old man's hand, turned around and started walking towards the endless void of white. Li Hongzhi started sweating, he did not expect this brat to take the ring and start walking away from him. 'I am a god no one can just walk away from me! What am I going to do now, I promised her revenge and the world, what else does this girl want?'

"Wait!" He screamed while running after her however contrary to his expectations, Xiang Chang-Xi just kept walking.

'I am not going to fall for this old man's tricks. For all I know he is lying, why did he even have my mother's ring? How do I know he is a god for all I know he could be the devil?' While Xiang Chang-Xi was thinking all of this, Li Hongzhi was still chasing after her. He really needed to complete his mission and get her to accept his deal.

While Xiang Chang-Xi was walking the ring she was holding was moving. She did not realise this though as she was being chased by an annoying persistent old man who called himself a god. The dragon shaped ring was slowly moving, the mouth of the dragon started opening you could see its tiny silver fangs. Its red jewelled eyes glowing into a deeper shade of red that made them look like blood.

All of a sudden Xiang Chang-Xi felt pain on her index finger. 'The fucking ring bit me! What the hell!?' Xiang Chang-Xi threw the ring on the ground and glared at it from a safe distance.

"I see that the ring has chosen you." Xiang Chang-Xi forgot that she had an annoying fly chasing her, she turned around and saw Li Hongzhi watching her with a bright smile on his face. Someone would think he got a puppy with that smile.

"Why would you give me a biting ring!?" Xiang Chang-Xi yelled.

"I had a feeling you were from that bloodline." Li Hongzhi completely ignored her BITING question.

"Don't you fucking ignore me old man! You tell me right now, WHY. A. BITING. RING? Or I leave you and this whole crazy situation behind! Wait…. Did your grandson just bite me?"

Li Hongzhi giggled and again did not answer her questions.

'Well, I can see where he got his manners.' Xiang Chang-Xi grumbled.

"I have had enough! Why couldn't I just die! Why can't I just be alone in this endless prison like I was last time?! I just want to be alone and cultivate or die! I swear the universe is against me!" Xiang Chang-Xi had finally snapped. All she wanted to do was join her family in death. "I don't want revenge; I want to save my family! But what idiot would trust some random old guy who said he was a god!"

"Oki dokey! Just close your eyes this is going to be extremely painful!" Xiang Chang-Xi looked at the old man who had an excited smile on his face.

'This old man says he is a god but seems to enjoy the idea of revenge and others being in pain! God my ass, he is the devil!' She closed her eyes and smiled 'Oh well if a deal with the devil will allow me to save my family, then it is worth it. This time I will protect what is mine and if anyone crosses me they will die. Xiang Lifen, Gao Qiu I will get my revenge along the way! That is a vow!'

Li Hongzhi looked at the malicious smile on Xiang Chang-Xi 's face and shivered in delight at the face slapping he and his grandson will be able to see. "Now to report to master that she finally reincarnated."

....

Xiang Chang-Xi felt extreme pain all over her body, it was as if someone was ripping her skin and breaking all her bones over and over again. 'Old man this better be worth it!' Xiang Chang-Xi shouted in her mind.

When Xiang Chang-Xi finally opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Hauling crying. She frowned as she realised the amount of pain that she was in. Jiang Hauling saw Xiang Chang-Xi 's hands move slightly. She looked at Xiang Chang-Xi with relief in her eyes. She quickly hugged her young miss. "Young miss don't scare me like that again! You could have died!" Jiang Hauling was crying again as she said these words.

"Jiang Huang I am fine, but what happened?" Xiang Chang-Xi needed to know what day it was.

"Young Miss, second young miss saw you in an alley and saved you from those men who were trying to harm you." As Jiang Huang spoke Xiang Chang-Xi 's face got darker, she knew exactly what day it was, and she knew that she was 16.

"Jiang Hauling." Jiang Hauling looked at her young miss with a serious face. "You are my closest friend; I want to know something." Xiang Chang-Xi already knew the answer to her question, but she wants to hear Jiang Hauling say it. "Are you loyal to anyone other than me?"

Jiang Hauling was shocked at her Xiang Chang-Xi 's question but quickly answered in all seriousness, "I Jiang Hauling, am only loyal to Xiang Chang-Xi. I took a vow to stay and protect Xiang Chang-Xi and I will always keep that vow!" Xiang Chang-Xi smiled she knew this was going to be the answer.

"Then Jiang Hauling, in order to help and protect this young miss I want you to get stronger alongside me! We will rule the world and only look after people I consider family!" Jiang Hauling looked at Xiang Chang-Xi in shock.

'I need to find a way to get more powerful and save my family. The question is how do I do that?' While Xiang Chang-Xi was thinking about such a critical problem, the ring on her finger started glowing.

'Such a stupid person, why did grandpa have to leave me in your care?' A childlike voice said. Xiang Chang-Xi looked around and couldn't see anyone other than Jiang Hauling.

'I am in the Dragon ring dumbass.' The childlike voice was getting more annoyed. Xiang Chang-Xi glared at the ring on her index finger.
