In Pingyang Town, Yun'an County, Tianqi Country, in Fuhu Mountain not far from Mujia Village, Mu Xiyue and her maid Xiaotao were picking mushrooms in the forest. Suddenly, a noisy sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of weapons clashing came from far away.

Mu Xiyue decisively pulled Xiaotao and ran in another direction, but after running a few steps, the group of fighting people were already in their sight.

A group of men in black were seen besieging two men in brocade robes. The two men in brocade robes looked young, probably around twenty years old, and were covered in wounds.

Mu Xiyue only watched for two or three seconds before pulling Xiaotao to leave this dangerous place. Unexpectedly, one of the men in black flew out and blocked Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao, and hacked at them without saying a word.

"Fuck," Mu Xiyue cursed, raised her hand and shot an ice needle into the black-clothed man's forehead. The moment the black-clothed man fell to the ground, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Xiao Tao's anger soared, "Miss, these people are too much. We didn't provoke them, but they want to kill us."

The leader of the men in black over there only saw his men falling to the ground and dying. He didn't expect that two mountain girls could actually kill his men. These two women really couldn't be left alive.

Just as Xiao Tao finished speaking, two more men in black flew towards them. Mu Xiyue narrowed her eyes and said, "Xiao Tao, kill!"

Xiao Tao looked excited. She raised her hand and the two men in black who were attacking them were instantly knocked to the ground by a gust of wind.

Mu Xiyue picked up a branch from the ground and threw it to Xiaotao. Xiaotao caught it. The branch was like a sharp sword in Xiaotao's hand. She swung it towards the necks of the two men in black. A big gash suddenly appeared in their necks and blood spurted out.

The leader of the men in black panicked, feeling that today's mission was about to fail. He ordered his men, "Quick battle, quick decision."

A dozen men in black attacked the two men in brocade robes at a faster speed, with each move fatal.

Mu Xiyue didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble, but the man in black just now wanted to kill her and Xiaotao as well. How could she tolerate this?

"Xiao Tao, go practice."

Xiao Tao was eager to try, and after hearing what her lady said, she immediately joined the battle excitedly. Mu Xiyue raised her hand and shot an ice needle at the leader of the men in black.

The leader of the men in black was also agile and quickly dodged, but Mu Xiyue's ice needles had dozens of them, and one of them still hit the leader's arm.

Mu Xiyue curled her lips. This was the first time she had fought against such a master since she traveled to Tianqi Country. It seemed that the master was just like this. The ice needle in her hand shot out again quickly. The leader of the men in black finally couldn't dodge it. In just a few breaths, a hole was shot in his forehead.

Xiao Tao is also very skilled in using her wind ability. The branches are her swords, and her wind ability is transformed into sword energy through the branches. Anyone who is hit by the sword energy will be injured if not killed.

With the addition of these two people, the situation was reversed in an instant. More than a dozen men in black were no match for the two men's special abilities. In just one minute, all of them were killed.

The two men in brocade robes must have been exhausted. Seeing that the men in black who were chasing them were dead, they both fell to the ground at the same time.

After taking a breath, the purple-robed man used his sword to support himself and stood up. "Thank you both ladies for your help today."

Mu Xiyue interrupted him before he could continue, "You're welcome, and we don't need to repay you. Just don't repay us with evil. We haven't been to this side of the mountain today, nor have we seen you two. That's it, goodbye. Oh, never see you again!"

The man in brocade robe saw Mu Xiyue finish speaking in one breath and quickly walk down the mountain. He understood that the two girls didn't want to get into trouble.

"Let's go back first."

After Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao returned home, Xiaotao was still excited. "Miss, I didn't expect this ability to be so powerful against people. It was so satisfying to fight today."

Mu Xiyue smiled and patted her head. "Why don't you act like a little girl at all? If others encountered something like this, they would be scared and cry, but you are so excited."

Xiao Tao rubbed her head and laughed, "Miss, I'm not afraid. Besides, it's not the first time I've killed someone. What's there to be afraid of? It's the same as killing a wild boar."

Mu Xiyue traveled through time a year ago. She was a person who had struggled to survive in the apocalypse for five years. One day, she was unlucky and met the Zombie King. The team members had lower levels of superpowers than her, and all had single or double superpowers. She was the team leader and had four superpowers: Lei, Mu, Feng, and Bing. She asked the team members to leave first, and she fought with the Zombie King to buy time for the team members to escape. Unexpectedly, the Zombie King blew himself up and died with her, catching her off guard.

When Mu Xiyue opened her eyes again, she had traveled to the Apocalypse Country. Her name was still Mu Xiyue. The original owner died because her head hit a stone and broke the back of her head.

At that time, the original owner and Xiaotao were also picking mushrooms on Fuhu Mountain. The scoundrels from the next village saw two little girls picking mushrooms on the mountain and there was no one else nearby, so they had evil intentions and wanted to violate the original owner. The original owner refused to obey, and during the scuffle, the original owner was pushed to the ground, and the back of her head hit a stone and she died.

In order to help her young lady, Xiaotao picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it on the scoundrel's head. The scoundrel didn't expect Xiaotao to be so cruel, and was killed by Xiaotao.

Mu Xiyue took a quarter of an hour to accept the fact that she had traveled through time. She had the original owner's memories, as if they were her own past life.

The original owner was the eldest daughter of Mu Fengnian, Marquis of Anyuan in the Tianqi Kingdom. Her mother died of illness when she was five years old, and her grandfather, the old Marquis of Anyuan, also passed away that same year. Later, a Taoist priest passed by the doorway and declared that this eldest daughter was destined to bring bad luck to her relatives. If peace was to be restored to the family, she must be sent away and not allowed to return until she reached the age of 15. Thus, the original owner was sent to the Mu family's old country house.

The Mu family's old house was located in Mujia Village, Pingyang Town, Yun'an County, just a two-day carriage ride from the capital. Mujia Village wasn't originally called Mujia Village; it was renamed after the original owner's grandfather, who had served at the border, was awarded the title of Marquis of Anyuan. Half the villagers were distant relatives of the Mu family.

When the original owner was sent to Mujia Village, she was accompanied only by her wet nurse and her daughter, Xiaotao. Of the agreed monthly living allowance of twenty taels of silver, the Marquis's Mansion only gave the wet nurse five taels upon her arrival, and nothing more since then. Over the years, no one from the Marquis's Mansion had ever visited this legitimate daughter.

Everyone in the village knew that the original owner was sent to this village because of his unfavorable relationship with his relatives. They refused to interact with him in public and even ridiculed him behind his back, calling him a jinx.

The Marquis' Mansion had an old house in Mujia Village, but the old Taoist said that one could not live in one's own old house as it would affect the family fortune, so the Marquis' Mansion bought a dilapidated house at the end of the village as a place for the three of them to stay. This was the greatest kindness the Marquis' Mansion had shown her in the original owner's memory.

It is easy to imagine how difficult life was for a wet nurse, a woman, to take care of two five-year-old children. Fortunately, the village chief of Mujia Village was a kind-hearted person and would occasionally give some help.

Fortunately, although life in the countryside was hard, money was easy to spend. The wet nurse came from a poor family and knew all the wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains. She raised the two children by digging wild vegetables and mushrooms and raising some chicks.

However, the wet nurse died of illness due to overwork a few months ago, leaving only the original owner and Xiaotao, the master and servant, to depend on each other.
