Ling Tian passed.
He was originally an ordinary human being, with an ordinary dream, wanting to lead an ordinary life.
Although.
Ten days ago, because of an accident, he crossed into this strange world and became attached to a young master. This young man of the same name is no son of the martial arts family, but his father is a merchant from Glory City, and his wealth is considerable.
Ling Tian however, was left speechless.
After getting the memory of the body's original owner, he felt a little lost. That's because, two years ago, his father just disappeared.
This young master did not mind the large amount of money spent, and insisted on paying for the Holy family to help him find him.
{ A/N: This was when he wasn't the protagonist yet.}
The deal was done, and as a result, within two years, all the wealth his father had amassed for several years was wiped clean by the Holy family, and he was killed by Shen Fei.
After that, Ling Tian happened to cross at that moment, and took possession of this young master's body.
"You damn family, men and women, I'm going to kill you all!"
Ling Tian clenched his fists in anger.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark and the air felt a little chilly.
He was lying inside a forest, and his body had some injuries. However, the worst was still a large wound on his chest that was constantly losing blood.
"Hey, are you all right?"
A sudden voice snapped Ling Tian from his thoughts. Looking to the side, he noticed that a young girl around fifteen or sixteen was standing there looking at him curiously. It was unknown how long she had been there, but Ling Tian had some assumptions about it.
"Who are you?"
Ling Tian did not respond, but instead asked the young woman another question. He wouldn't be foolish enough to tell his true identity without first knowing who the other party was.
The young woman looked briefly at Ling Tian, and then smiled, before finally introducing herself, "I'm the second miss of the Ye-Ye Ruoyu mansion. And you, who would that be?"
Only then did Ling Tian realize that this young man actually looked a lot like Ye Ziyun. Purple hair, light eyes, and curvy body. Her skin was pale, and she wore a pale yellow dress exposing her legs. She didn't look more than fifteen years old.
"I am Ling Tian. The son of merchant Ling who disappeared a few years ago..."
Ling Tian averted his eyes, and replied with a bitter smile. He then ground his teeth together tightly, as the wound in his chest spurted another small amount of blood covering his body. However, before he could speak once more, a small pill dropped into his mouth.
She then soon melted, and began to heal all the wounds in her body. In the blink of an eye all of her wounds were gone, and only faint white marks were left on her body.
"You...why did you do that?" Looking in disbelief at the young man who was still smiling normally, Ling Tian asked.
He already knew he was in 'Tales of Demons and Gods' but he also knew it wasn't the same timeline he knew. This young woman doesn't exist in the story he knows, let alone the two of them had any kind of connection. So he didn't understand why she was helping him.
But the answer came so fast, he didn't have to think about it anymore.
"Hehe. Your father Mr. Ling saved my life once in the past. It was a few years before his disappearance. Even though he was only a five star fighter, he managed to fight a member of the dark guild, and helped me escape without much injury. I then promised him that I would help him with anything in the future, but I didn't expect that to happen..." The young woman closed her eyes as if remembering that scene, and then sighed.
"I didn't know he had a son. If I had known, I would have done more to help him. Looks like his current situation isn't the best." She laughed, and extended her hands to Ling Tian.
Looking at the delicate hands in front of him, and then at his own hands stained with blood and dirt, Ling Tian sighed but did not accept the help. He didn't want to owe favors to someone he didn't know in this new world, and he didn't want to get her hands dirty with him either. So he just got up normally.
"Thank you for your help here, and I am really grateful for that. But considering your status, I know that I cannot be seen with you by other people. It will not only cause you some problems, but also a lot of inconvenience for me. So, I owe you a favor for what happened today, but I hope you don't get too close to me. Not while I'm in this current state." Ling Tian pointed at his weak and dirty-clothed body, and then started to leave the forest.
"I will repay you when I am stronger, or when I have a status equal to yours. On this day, I too may consider myself worthy of being your friend!" Leaving his last words, Ling Tian disappeared from the forest towards the center of the city.
"What an interesting person. Looks like I'm not the only one coming from another world after all." Ye Ruoyu smiled beautifully, and also quickly disappeared.
...
Meanwhile, Ling Tian was walking around Glory City as her stomach constantly protested. Even eating a healing pill, her body was still hungry for real food.
As soon as he sat down at a food stall to eat, a glow entered his mind, and a flood of memories invaded his unconscious.
