Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Xiyu Kingdom

In a dense forest outside the south gate of Yunan City.

"Ah!" came a scream.

A weak, feeble voice cried out, "Who is it? Please, let me go!"

"You little slut, let's see how you escape this time. Hehehe." Two men dressed in dark blue servant's clothes sneered at the little girl in the pit. After saying that, the two men laughed and walked away, weighing the silver in their hands, completely ignoring the little girl's pleas for mercy in the pit.

"Erhu, if we just leave this young lady here, won't anyone notice?" one of the younger men said.

"What are you afraid of, Liu Yi? Remember, none of us saw the young lady today," the older man warned.

"Yes, yes, don't worry. None of us saw the young lady." The two people's voices faded into the distance.

"Help, please help me..."

At this moment, the little girl in the pit was still pleading desperately, but her voice grew softer and softer until it could no longer be heard.

......

In a two-meter-deep pit, lay a thin little girl with her hands bound and her eyes covered. She was the one who had just been calling for help, but now she was lifeless. Purple threads, glowing with a fluorescent light, wrapped around the little girl and slowly disappeared.

Suddenly, her tightly closed eyes snapped open. A purple light flashed in her jet-black eyes, but it was fleeting.

"Hiss!" Mu Xue frowned, her small face filled with displeasure. Her hands, bound by ropes for so long, were numb. She moved her wrists slightly, and instantly, her hands were freed from the ropes. She then removed the blindfold from her eyes.

Even those who are used to getting hurt will inevitably feel pain. He raised his left hand and touched the back of his head, his hand sticky and red.

After a brief respite, the little girl slowly leaned against the pit wall and stood up. She looked at her thin body and shrunken hands and murmured to herself, "Did they give me a child's body?" Just as she finished speaking, a sharp, needle-like pain suddenly swept through her brain.

This is a memory that doesn't belong to Mu Xue.

So this body is also called Mu Xue. Mu Xue thought to herself. Finally, she finished receiving the memories. At this moment, Mu Xue's clothes were soaked with sweat. She had accepted that she had caught up with the trend of time travel.

"Is he a fool?" Mu Xue smiled wickedly.

As a descendant of ancient medicine practitioners and a modern-day super special forces king, he is proficient in both medicine and poison. He immediately noticed that something was wrong with his body. This body had been poisoned for quite some time!

However, this poison was all too familiar to Mu Xue. In modern times, it was precisely because she had researched the antidote for this poison that she was ambushed and forced to perish together with her enemy. As long as she found the key medicinal ingredients, this poison would not be a problem.

"Don't worry, now that I've used your body, I will definitely live well in your place." Mu Xue made a silent promise to Xiao Mu Xue in her heart.

Before she knew it, it had gotten dark. Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting sparse rays into the pit, allowing Mu Xue to see her location.

Right now, the priority is to recover my strength as soon as possible and get out of this predicament.

It took Mu Xue a lot of effort to climb out, and as soon as she got out, she lay sprawled out on the edge of the pit, completely undignified. She was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers.

"Where is this place?" Mu Xue calmed down for a while and began to sort out the original owner's chaotic memories. She realized that this was the Cangmang Forest in the south of the city that connected to the Cangmang Mountains, but she couldn't remember how she got here.

The memories that Mu Xue received were incomplete.

She struggled to her feet, her Tang Dynasty-style dress now filthy and unrecognizable.

Looking at her clothes and accessories, Mu Xue had some ideas in mind.

It seems that the original owner's family was not cheated.

In her jumbled memories, Mu Xue knew that this body was already thirteen years old, with a father and an older brother, but it was as if they had none.

Having sorted out her thoughts, Mu Xue decided that she still needed to return to the Duke's mansion from her memories in order to find out why the original owner of the body had met with such an accident.

Listening to the chirping of insects in the woods, Mu Xue rested for a moment, then got up and slowly made her way back the way she came.

Suddenly, a soft chuckle, "Hehe," was heard above Mu Xue's head.

Due to blood loss and the fall, Mu Xue was extremely weak. She suddenly looked up and accurately caught sight of the man in red leaning against the treetop.

"Who?" Mu Xue shouted fiercely, looking at the man in red with suspicion.

"Little girl, it takes real perseverance to climb up here." The man did not answer Mu Xue's question.

Seeing that the man who wanted to see her make a fool of herself meant no harm, Mu Xue rolled her eyes at him and dragged her heavy legs forward numbly, step by step. At this moment, she didn't want to pay any attention to this boring man.

"Hey, little girl," the man in red called out to Mu Xue.

Mu Xue ignored him and continued to move forward with difficulty.

Oh man.

It's not worth believing. Isn't it better to bloom alone?

"I can take you out!" the man in red said again.

Mu Xue stopped in her tracks without turning around: "You know me." Though it was a question, her tone was very certain.

"You silly girl, hehe." The man in red gave her a mental thumbs-up for her wisdom.

If he wasn't sure before, now he is certain: she is that person's child.

He saw a fleeting, cold yet spirited light in her eyes when she opened them again.

In that instant, he was drawn to her; she had captured his attention.

The man in red leaped down and instantly appeared in front of Mu Xue.

Mu Xue took a step back warily, instinctively adopting a defensive posture.

At the same time, he secretly calculated his chances of winning if he took action.

Judging from its current small size, it has no chance of winning.

The fact that the man in red landed so silently from such a high tree shows that he is a highly skilled fighter, at least stronger than I am now.

It's confirmed, this is someone she can't afford to offend right now.

When the man in red saw the little girl back away, he awkwardly touched his nose, only to find his face was icy cold.

The silver mask worn by the man in red gleamed in the moonlight.

After examining him for a moment, Mu Xue also felt that he meant no harm.

"Send me out," Mu Xue said calmly.

"Little girl, you really don't hold back." With that, the man in red picked up Mu Xue, tucked her under his arm, and used his lightness skill to speed northward.

Mu Xue was speechless, having been tucked under her arm.

She poked the man in red with her finger with difficulty and said in a muffled voice, "Hey, sir, can we try a different position?"

The man in red glanced down at her. "What did you call me? Uncle?" He thought to himself, "Am I that old? Am I that old? Am I that old?"

Then, obediently, I moved her from the left to the right.

Mu Xue rolled her eyes at his actions.

I mentally give him a thumbs up.
