Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

"It looks like someone lives up ahead!"

Jiang Xi pointed to a thatched hut in the distance. The sun was already setting, and wisps of smoke were rising from the roof of the hut.

"Let's go ask them?"

Jiang Xi turned her head, took Huo Jingxuan's hand, and wanted to lead him to the thatched hut.

Huo Jingxuan stared at the hand Jiang Xi was holding, which was so cold it was almost devoid of warmth.

He followed Jiang Xi blankly to the thatched hut, which was surrounded by a small courtyard enclosed by a fence.

The courtyard is surrounded by roses, and at this time of year, the roses are in full bloom, their pink and white petals bursting forth as if the whole spring is ablaze within them.

"anyone there?"

Jiang Xi shouted into the house through the courtyard gate.

"Who is it?"

An elderly woman, nearly seventy years old and hunched over, came to open the door, leaning on a cane.

The old woman was followed by a black cat.

"Hello grandma, we're lost. Could you please let us stay here for the night?"

Jiang Xi asked very politely.

The old woman looked up and sized up Jiang Xi and Huo Jingxuan with her cloudy eyes.

“Our village is called Tianchang Village. Everyone in the village moved away a long time ago, and I am an old woman living alone. If you two don’t mind, please come in!”

As the old woman spoke, she turned around, her body trembling.

"I don't mind!"

Jiang Xi was surprised that the old lady was so easy to talk to, so she quickly pulled Huo Jingxuan inside.

"Don't you still have some silver on you? Take some out and give it to this old lady as payment for our lodging!"

After entering the courtyard, the old lady went to the kitchen, and Jiang Xi asked Huo Jingxuan to get the silver.

Huo Jingxuan didn't move, but stared at Jiang Xi with a complicated look in his eyes.

Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Jiang Xi took matters into her own hands, pulled a bag of silver from his body, and happily went to the kitchen.

"Grandma, here's some silver for you!"

Jiang Xi gave the silver to the old lady who was washing pots and cooking, and then went to help her light the fire and cook.

As darkness fell, the surroundings became pitch black, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The food was served, and the old lady brought out bowls and chopsticks. Huo Jingxuan sat still, while his black robe paced back and forth on the window frame.

"Come on, eat. It's just simple food, please don't mind!" The old lady served Huo Jingxuan a bowl of rice.

"Try this, it's braised pork ribs that I made myself!" Jiang Xi used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork rib and put it in Huo Jingxuan's bowl.

Huo Jingxuan looked at the food on the table but didn't touch it.

Jiang Xi looked at him with some disappointment: "Why aren't you eating? Do you think my cooking is bad?"

Huo Jingxuan shook his head: "No, it's because I'm not hungry yet!"

"Eat something even if you're not hungry!" the old lady urged anxiously.

At that moment, the ribs in Jiang Xi's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

The black cat jumped down from the windowsill and snatched the rib. But the next moment, the black cat suddenly collapsed and began to convulse.

Huo Jingxuan stood up, drew his soft sword from his waist without saying a word, and plunged it into the old woman's chest.

"what!"

When the blood gushed out, Jiang Xi was startled and jumped back, at the same time touching the dagger at her waist.

"I am going to kill you!"

Jiang Xi's eyes glowed an unnatural red light as she lunged at Huo Jingxuan, brandishing a sharp dagger.

Huo Jingxuan dodged Jiang Xi's fatal blow, then pulled her into his arms and restrained her hands.

"Ah-Xi, wake up! Look carefully at who I am!"

Jiang Xi raised her head and looked at Huo Jingxuan in front of her: "You are... Huo Jingxuan..."

Huo Jingxuan's pupils suddenly dilated, and he paused for a moment before remembering to ask, "Who is the person you want to kill?"

Jiang Xi's eyes gleamed even brighter: "The person I want to kill is...is...Huo Jingxuan!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingxuan felt as if a knife had been plunged into his heart, causing him excruciating pain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Xi broke free from Huo Jingxuan's grasp and raised her dagger to stab him hard in the heart.

Phew!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out, and gushing blood splattered all over Jiang Xi's face.

The red light in Jiang Xi's eyes also faded.

Everything around them vanished in an instant, and Jiang Xi suddenly regained consciousness, realizing that the place they were in was not a thatched hut at all.

It was the same eucalyptus forest we had just passed through, and it wasn't dark at all; the surroundings were bright, and it was only noon.

Not far away lay the corpse of a person in black, which was definitely not an old woman!

"Uncle Emperor?"

Jiang Xi's gaze finally returned to Huo Jingxuan.

But Huo Jingxuan had her dagger stuck in his chest, and his black robe was stained with blood.

"Uncle, are you alright? You..."

As her memories returned, Jiang Xi realized that she had been under an illusion and had actually killed Huo Jingxuan with her own hands.

Huo Jingxuan swayed precariously, and Jiang Xi quickly stepped forward to support him.

"How could I possibly kill you? Why didn't you fight back? What... what are you thinking?"

Despair, heartache, regret... a flood of emotions overwhelmed Jiang Xi, and tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.

"Because you're determined to kill him!"

A strange voice came, and Longyue, dressed in black, suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi looked up at the mysterious masked man in front of her.

"Who are you? Who exactly are you? Are you a transmigrator like me? Why are you so determined to kill Huo Jingxuan? What did Xie Jiayun promise you?"

Longyue looked at Huo Jingxuan, who was about to faint from blood loss, and then at Jiang Xi, who was on the verge of collapse.

He threw his head back and laughed loudly, "I am indeed a time traveler just like you. I can do everything you can, and I can do things you can't!"

Jiang Xi's guess was confirmed, and An Quan didn't know what to say at that moment.

Huo Jingxuan couldn't hold on any longer and knelt down on one knee. Jiang Xi quickly squatted down, supported him, and let his head rest on her shoulder.

"As you can see, the body I'm in now belongs to a hardened criminal who escaped death."

Not only was my face disfigured, but my vocal cords were also damaged. More importantly, I can no longer even be considered a complete man.

I want to go back, I want to go back to my old world, where I was a superstar!

Longyue spoke to herself, her eyes filled with longing.

Jiang Xi was suddenly shocked: "A big star? You are... Xiao Ran?"

Jiang Xi recalled her time travel experience, during which she went to her idol Xiao Ran's concert with her classmates during summer vacation.

As a result, the stage was not set up properly by the organizers. Just when the atmosphere was getting lively, Xiao Ran fell off the stage and landed right on Jiang Xi, who was at the very front of the first row.

Jiang Xi was crushed to death, and when she woke up, she found herself in this godforsaken place.

Longyue clearly hadn't expected that Jiang Xi would actually know her from her past life.

"You know me? What's our relationship?"

"Me? I'm your fan. Do you remember when you fell off the stage and hit a little girl? That's me! I was hit by you and that's how I time-traveled!"

Jiang Xi hurriedly revealed her identity, hoping that he would let her and Huo Jingxuan go because they were from the same hometown.

"Oh it's you!"

Longyue finally remembered, but he had no intention of letting Jiang Xi off the hook because of it.

"Although I killed you, it's the organizer's responsibility. If you want to hold a grudge, go find them. It has nothing to do with me!"

amount……

Jiang Xi didn't expect Long Yue to say that, but what he said seemed to make some sense, after all, he was also a victim.
