Guwu Lin woke up. Opening her eyes, she found she was in a room filled with several beds, densely packed together. With so many beds, it stands to reason there were several people who shared this room. It seemed she was the only one here at the moment. Where was everyone else?
She was no longer at the battlefield. Tangyu Sanjun wasn't here. Then this meant the God of the World had kept his end of the bargain.
She had to find out where exactly she was. She had to get back to the devil world and prevent Tangyu Sanjun from exterminating her kind.
Guwu Lin ran out of the room. Looking up the sky, she stopped in her tracks. The sky was blood-red. She was still in the devil world. But something didn't seem right. If she was in the devil world, shouldn't she be in her room in her palace?
Guwu Lin stood dazedly before someone called out, "Little Plum."
Guwu Lin looked at the person. She recognized her as the head maid, Red Jade.
Walking up to her, Red Jade asked irritably, "I called you, why don't you reply?"
"You called me?" a confused Guwu Lin asked.
"Do you see anyone else?" Red Jade demanded.
Guwu Lin knew instantly, that she was now Little Plum. Was this a trick of the God of the World? But if she was in the devil world, how was she to meet the third celestial prince and make him cry?
Red Jade poked Guwu Lin in the middle of her forehead.
"Ouch!" Guwu Lin shouted. "How dare you?"
"How dare I?" Red Jade snorted disdainfully. "Why wouldn't I dare. You're just a lowly slave and I'm the head maid."
Guwu Lin rubbed her forehead resentfully. Damn this Red Jade. When she returned to herself, she would whip this maid a hundred times.
Red Jade said, "Listen carefully, I'm here to tell you that from this day onwards, you're assigned to the third celestial prince."
"What did you say?" Guwu Lin asked.
"Did you go stupid from a single finger poking?" Red Jade mocked. "I said from now on you are the personal maid of the third celestial prince."
How can this be? Guwu Lin almost fainted from anger. She was a dignified princess. She, who had never ever lifted a finger to do any work, was going to be the maid beside Tangyu Sanjun? She had to personally serve that monster? Just what kind of cruel joke was this?
Suddenly, it dawned on Guwu Lin. If Tangyu Sanjun was here, then it meant . . . the only two times Tangyu Sanjun stepped foot in the devil world was when he was young and the other time was to annihilate everyone.
Guwu Lin gasped. She had traveled back in time.
