Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Chu Yun was surprised that Gu Fenglin would bring up the matter of beast transformation. She pursed her lips and put down the cup in her hand.

"Aren't you curious? Why don't you ask me?" Gu Fenglin asked.

Chu Yun looked at him intently and slowly shook her head.

Her eyes were so clear and innocent, they told Gu Fenglin that she was not lying.

Gu Fenglin frowned. "Then listen to me."

Chu Yun's eyes flashed with surprise. Was Gu Fenglin going to reopen his wounds?

"Okay." She didn't refuse.

That memory was too humiliating, and recalling it still made him uncomfortable. Gu Fenglin gripped the cup in his hand tightly, his voice low and somber.

"My biological father, the current head of the Gu family, has many mistresses outside."

When his father was mentioned, Gu Fenglin showed little emotion, only intense disgust and disdain.

“He had a mistress who had a son. That mistress poisoned me with insects so that her son could inherit the Gu family business.”

Gu Fenglin saw the pity and shock flash in Chu Yun's eyes, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly calmed down.

"There is no antidote for this poison, and I could turn into a beast at any time. So my mother gave me an antidote. Because of the antidote, I can't use my mental power and have become a useless member of the Gu family."

"When the head of the Gu family saw that I was no longer of any use, he brought his son back from outside and personally trained him."

"That woman's scheme succeeded. Her son returned to the Gu family openly and legitimately, and she herself was brought back to the Gu family two years later."

“My mother and I had nowhere to stand in the Gu family. All my so-called relatives were trying to curry favor with that mother and son, ignoring my mother and me.”

"My mother has been searching for a cure for many years and spends most of the month away from home. Gu Jia thinks I am a disgrace and forbids me from going out with my mother."

"That woman even locked me in a dark room when my mother wasn't home. I could only come out when my mother came back."

"The days I spend with my mother are the happiest times of my life."

"But later I didn't even have a mother anymore."

"She died in a wormhole while searching for the antidote, and her remains were never recovered."

"Although I was cured of the poison, my mental world was still bound by the blocking agent, and I was unable to use my mental power. I was still a cripple, and I lost my only relative. I could only watch helplessly as my enemy went free."

"Because I was unwilling to accept it, I forcibly broke free from the shackles of the blocker and liberated my mental world, but this also triggered the bestialization of my body."

Gu Fenglin spoke calmly, without anger or resentment, but Chu Yun could hear a deep sorrow in his voice.

There are always some wounds in this world that are hidden in the heart and never fade away, like old wounds. The surface skin may have healed, but beneath the healed skin, pus and sores ooze blood.

Chu Yun didn't know how to comfort Gu Fenglin, so she opened her mouth, then closed it again.

Seeing this, Gu Fenglin smiled faintly at Chu Yun.

"But all of that is in the past."

"I studied desperately, gradually gained real power in the Gu family, and avenged myself and my mother. Even if the price was turning into a monster, I have no regrets," Gu Fenglin continued.

“No, you’re not a monster,” Chu Yun retorted.

Gu Fenglin raised an eyebrow.

“Really, Gu Fenglin, you’re not a monster. You’re just different from everyone else.”

Gu Fenglin said in a deep voice, "You really think so?"

Chu Yun: "Of course, perhaps you know about Venus?"

Gu Fenglin: "Of course I know your hometown."

Chu Yun smiled and shook her head. "No, what you know is just a few pages of information about the Golden Star in the Imperial History."

"Scholars lamented the former glory of Venus and thus described the planet as once covered in mineral veins, praising its past splendor."

"The painter yearned for the vibrant and colorful Venus, so he used his brush to depict the beautiful scenery of Venus in the past and record its former magnificence."

"Historians, in order to learn from the past and guide the future, use history as a mirror to warn future generations in their historical records to mine mineral veins rationally and protect our homeland."

"But none of these are the real Meteorite, or rather, they are just the Meteorite of the past."

"People only lament what they have lost, but rarely take real action. They learn nothing from history."

"The calls from environmentalists to stop harming Venus and to stop endless exploitation are just slogans."

"In order to develop the forging of magical artifacts and the smelting of mechs, those in power will not let go of Flowing Gold Star, nor will they let go of those mineral veins."

"The surface of the planet I live on is bare, desolate, with yellow sand everywhere, and few people."

"Besides the miners, only those who are about to become beasts or have already become beasts are being sent in one after another."

"That was a truly abandoned place."

Gu Fenglin: "I remember the Empire once introduced a policy to relocate some people who voluntarily left Liujinxing."

"You want to ask me why I'm unwilling to leave?" Chu Yun countered.

Gu Fenglin nodded.

"It's simple, because I have a reason why I can't leave."

“Blue Mountain Prison, the place the Empire uses to imprison criminals, is where I was born and raised,” Chu Yun said.

Gu Fenglin frowned deeply.

“My mother was once a noble lady, but because of her family’s misdeeds, she was imprisoned in Blue Mountain Prison. This pampered young lady had to go to the mines under the sun for a bite to eat.”

“She was already pregnant with me at the time, but it was too late for an abortion. She couldn’t bear to give up, so she gave birth to me in prison.”

"I have never known who my father is since I was born, and my mother never mentions him."

“Until I was five years old, a man with a broken leg came to visit my mother and me.”

Chu Yun looked at Gu Fenglin and saw that his furrowed brows had not relaxed. She couldn't help but say, "Don't be like this. I didn't say these things to see you like this."

"He took my mother and me out, and we had a very happy time."

"It was during that time that I learned about the relationship between him and my mother."

"His surname is Cai, so I call him Uncle Cai."

"Uncle Cai is an orphan, but he is very talented. He got into the Imperial University through his own efforts, met my mother, and fell in love with her."

“My mother’s family did not approve of their relationship and arranged a marriage for her against her will.”

“The other person comes from an aristocratic family, just like my mother. They were classmates. In the eyes of outsiders, they are a perfect match. But my mother doesn’t like him. She made a fuss for a long time, but her family, who always doted on her, refused to agree to call off the engagement.”

“My mother and Uncle Cai planned to escape, but of course they failed. My family threatened Uncle Cai’s life, and my mother finally gave in and married that classmate, who is my father, with resentment.”

“My mother remarried, and Uncle Cai dropped out of Imperial University and disappeared without a trace.”

"Two people who once loved each other are now separated by vast distances."
