Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

After enduring numerous challenges at Mount Shu, Hua Qiangu finally had a chance to catch her breath. That day, sitting alone in her room, she couldn't help but think of her parents, family, and friends in the real world, her heart filled with worry and longing.

Just then, Tangxin skipped in. Seeing Hua Qiangu's worried expression, she went up to her, took Hua Qiangu's hand and shook it, sweetly asking, "Sister Hua Qiangu, what's wrong? Why do you look so sad?"

Hua Qiangu looked up at Tang Xin's adorable face and sighed softly, saying, "Tang Xin, I've been in this world of Hua Qiangu for so long now. I really want to know how my parents, family, and friends in the real world are doing! I'm so worried about them!"

Tang Xin quickly patted Hua Qiangu's hand gently with her other hand, comforting her, "Sister Hua Qiangu, don't worry! I know about this. Actually, time in the real world is frozen right after you came to this Hua Qiangu world. Don't worry! When you return to the real world, you'll feel like you were just having a dream. Time will still be the same, unchanged, as if it were frozen in time!"

Hua Qiangu heard Tang Xin's words and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She turned to Tang Xin and asked, "Tang Xin, is what you said true? Is it really possible? I still can't quite believe it."

Tang Xin nodded vigorously, her little braids swaying as she said earnestly, "Sister Hua Qiangu, I wouldn't lie to you! It really is like that! And, let me tell you, there's a magical mirror in this space that can show you what your home looks like! Do you want to see it?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu immediately perked up, her eyes lighting up as she eagerly exclaimed, "Really? Tang Xin, there are mirrors like this! Please take me to see them quickly, I really want to know what's going on at home!"

Tang Xin smiled and let go of Hua Qiangu's hand, turned around and gestured for her to go, saying, "Okay, okay, Sister Hua Qiangu, let's go look in the mirror!"

The two arrived at the place where the mirror was placed. The mirror looked ordinary and had nothing special about it.

Tangxin waved her hand gently at the mirror and muttered a few incantations. Gradually, an image appeared on the mirror.

Hua Qiangu leaned closer to the mirror and looked closely. She saw that the image reflected her room in the real world. She saw herself slumped over a computer, seemingly asleep, completely still. Beside her was a nameplate, its hands frozen at 12:21 PM, as if truly immobilized by magic.

Hua Qiangu's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, Tangxin, you can really see it! That's amazing! Look, I'm really lying there, and time really has stopped!"

Tang Xin smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits and said, "Yes, Sister Hua Qiangu, I told you, it's amazing! So don't worry anymore, when you go back, everything will be the same as before."

Hua Qiangu nodded gently, but a trace of worry still lingered in her eyes. She said, "Well, seeing this makes me feel a little more at ease, but I still can't help thinking about them. I wonder if they're worried about me."

Tang Xin tilted her head and thought for a moment, then moved closer to Hua Qiangu, taking her arm and saying, "Sister Hua Qiangu, I think they probably won't even realize you left, since time is frozen here. Maybe when you go back, they'll be wondering why you slept for so long, haha!"

Hua Qiangu couldn't help but laugh when she heard Tang Xin's words. She gently tapped Tang Xin's nose with her finger and said, "You little rascal, what you said makes sense. But no matter what, I still hope to return to the real world as soon as possible and go see them."

Tang Xin patted Hua Qiangu's arm and said, "Sister Hua Qiangu, I know you want to go back, but there are still many things to be done in Hua Qiangu's world. You are the temporary sect leader, so you have to take care of things here first before you can go back with peace of mind."

Hua Qiangu sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, I know, but I can't let go of either of them. But you're right, since I now bear the responsibility of Shushan, I have to do a good job here first and not let everyone down."

Just then, Mengbao ran over and saw Hua Qiangu and Tangxin standing in front of the mirror. She asked curiously, "Auntie, Tangxin, what are you looking at?"

Tangxin said with a smile, "My darling, we're looking at the mirror that shows what Sister Hua Qiangu's house looks like. It's so magical!"

Upon hearing this, the baby's eyes lit up, and he ran to the mirror, exclaiming, "Wow, I want to see too! I want to see too!"

Hua Qiangu smiled and picked up the baby so he could see the reflection in the mirror. She said, "Alright, baby, let's look together. But after we're done, we have to get back to our business at Mount Shu. There are still many difficulties waiting for us to overcome."

As the little one looked at the image in the mirror, she said in her childish voice, "Yes, Auntie, I know! After I finish watching, I'll go with you to protect Mount Shu and defeat those bad guys!"

Hua Qiangu looked at the adorable baby with satisfaction and said, "Good baby, so well-behaved! Let's finish watching quickly, and then go do our work!"

After looking in the mirror, Hua Qiangu, Tang Xin, and Meng Bao left the place where the mirror was placed and headed towards the council hall. Along the way, Meng Bao kept chattering and asking questions.

The adorable child asked, "Auntie, when can you go back to the real world?"

Hua Qiangu patted the baby's head and said, "Baby, I don't know either. We'll have to wait until everything at Mount Shu is settled and the situation is stable before we can go back."

The child then asked, "What if things don't go well? Will Auntie never be able to go back?"

Hua Qiangu smiled helplessly and said, "It shouldn't be that it's always going to be difficult to handle. I'll try my best, and everyone's helping us too. We'll eventually solve these problems."

Tangxin chimed in, "Yes, my darling, you have to trust Sister Hua Qiangu. She's amazing! She'll definitely be able to handle things at Mount Shu and return to the real world safely."

After hearing Tangxin's words, the little one nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I believe in Auntie! Go, Auntie!"

Upon arriving at the council hall, they found Qingfeng and several peak masters already waiting in front.

When Qingfeng saw Hua Qiangu and the others enter, he said, "Hua Qiangu, you're here. We were just discussing how to further investigate the origins of those assassins. What are your thoughts?"

Hua Qiangu walked to her seat and said, "Master Qingfeng, I think we can start by looking at the clues left by those assassins, such as their weapons and clothing, and see if we can find any symbols of related forces or sects."

One of the peak masters said, "Hmm, that's a good idea, but the assassins' weapons and clothing are very ordinary, with no particularly obvious markings. How can we investigate them?"

Hua Qiangu pondered for a moment and said, "Then we can send people out to inquire and see if any suspicious people or forces have been around in the vicinity recently. Maybe we can find some clues."

Another peak master representative said, "But sending people out to inquire is also risky. What if we encounter those assassins' accomplices again?"

Tangxin said from the side, "How about this? I can use my magic to disguise the people who go out to inquire, making them less likely to be discovered, which will reduce the risk."

Qingfeng nodded after hearing Tangxin's words and said, "Yes, this method is feasible, let's do it this way. However, the people who go out to inquire must be careful and report back immediately if they find anything suspicious."

Hua Qiangu said, "Okay, then let's quickly select a few suitable disciples, have Tang Xin disguise them, and then send them out to inquire."

So, everyone began to select disciples, and Tang Xin began to use magic to disguise the selected disciples.

Before long, the disciples, who were in disguise, prepared to set off.

Hua Qiangu said to them, "Senior brothers and sisters, please be careful when you go out. If you find anything suspicious, come back and report immediately. Don't be reckless, understand?"

One of the disciples said, "Sect Leader, rest assured, we will be careful and will definitely complete the mission and return to report!"

After watching her disciples depart, Hua Qiangu said to Qingfeng and several peak masters, "Besides finding out where the assassins came from, we must continue to strengthen the defenses of Mount Shu. We cannot allow the enemy to have any more opportunities."

Qingfeng said, "Yes, that's right. We need to re-examine the existing defenses and see which weak points need to be strengthened."

One of the peak masters said, "That's right, and we also need to strengthen the training of our disciples and improve their combat capabilities so that we can better deal with the enemy's attacks."

Hua Qiangu nodded and said, "Alright, let's split up. Some of you will inspect the fortifications, some will be in charge of training the disciples, and Tangxin, Mengbao, and I will patrol the area to see if there are any omissions or new situations."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then they all got to work.

Hua Qiangu, along with Tangxin and Mengbao, patrolled Mount Shu. Along the way, they encountered many disciples who were cultivating.

Hua Qiangu asked them, "Senior brothers and sisters, how is your cultivation going? Are you having any difficulties?"

One disciple said, "Sect Leader, our cultivation is going well, but we feel a lot of pressure lately, after all, the enemies outside are watching us like tigers."

Hua Qiangu comforted everyone, "Don't worry, everyone. We are working hard to find out the enemy's situation and strengthen our defenses. As long as we are united, we will definitely be able to protect Mount Shu."

Tangxin added, "Yes, everyone, keep going! We all believe you can do it!"

The adorable baby waved his little hand and said, "Go, senior brothers and sisters! Go!"

During her continued patrol, Hua Qiangu suddenly noticed some unusual activity in a secluded corner.

Hua Qiangu whispered to Tang Xin and Meng Bao, "Listen, there seems to be some noise over there. Let's go check it out."

Tangxin and Mengbao nodded and followed Hua Qiangu cautiously in that direction.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a little fox trapped in a snare, struggling desperately.

Hua Qiangu knelt down and gently stroked the little fox's head, saying, "Poor little guy, how did you get trapped here? Don't be afraid, sister is here to save you."

Tang Xin said from the side, "Sister Hua Qiangu, this little fox seems to be injured. We need to bandage its wounds first."

The adorable baby said in a sweet, childish voice, "Yes, Auntie, please save the little fox!"

Hua Qiangu nodded, took out some herbs from her person, and began to bandage the little fox's wounds.

The little fox seemed to sense the kindness of Hua Qiangu and the others, and stopped struggling, obediently letting Hua Qiangu bandage it.

After bandaging the wound, Hua Qiangu released the little fox. The little fox circled around Hua Qiangu and the others a few times before running away.

The little girl looked in the direction the little fox had run off in and said, "Auntie, the little fox ran away. Will it be in danger again?"

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "I hope it won't happen, but there are many dangers in this mountain forest, so we can only hope that it will be safe and sound."

Tangxin said, "Yes, Sister Hua Qiangu, but we saved it once, so maybe it will repay us in the future."

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "Maybe. In any case, I'm still quite relieved to see it run away safely."

After completing their patrol, Hua Qiangu and the others returned to the council hall and met up with Qingfeng and the other peak masters.

Qingfeng asked, "Hua Qiangu, how's your patrol going? Have you discovered anything new?"

Hua Qiangu said, "During our patrol, we found a trapped little fox. We bandaged its wounds and released it. Other than that, we didn't find anything new. What about your side?"

Qingfeng said, "We inspected the fortifications and found several places that needed reinforcement, which we have already arranged for our disciples to do. Also, the feedback from the training team is that the disciples are very enthusiastic about training and are making good progress."

Hua Qiangu said, "Well, that's good. I hope our efforts will make Shushan safer, so we can better deal with the enemy's attacks."
