Yunxia's Quick Transmigration Journey

Yunxia has been studying day and night for the past two years. She has dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her skills are not yet proficient. After all, in addition to talent, mastering a skill requires persistent practice day after day.

Time flies, and soon it was the year Yunxia was abducted at the age of eight. Yunxia planned to use herself as bait to enter the den of thieves and help the abducted children. For this purpose, she specially took some homemade sleeping pills from the space laboratory.

With the sleeping potion and the space as a way out, Yunxia made up her mind to protect these children from the suffering described in the original text as much as possible before the imperial court came to rescue them.

The original text describes how, after being discovered by the soldiers, the human traffickers, in desperation, led the children on a desperate escape, during which half of them were whipped to death, and the other half who were rescued suffered minor and serious injuries.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, in order to get rid of the two maids, Yunxia specially sent them to deliver Yunxia's homemade pastries to her stepmother and aunt respectively.

To avoid worrying her family, she left a letter inside the house informing them of her whereabouts before secretly running away from home, thus giving her family a way to find her.

Walking through the bustling ancient streets, she had no interest in shopping and headed straight for the areas with high foot traffic where she could easily get separated from the crowd.

Looking around the street with a blank expression, she quickly attracted the attention of human traffickers. Soon, a kind-looking middle-aged woman hurriedly walked towards her, saying, "Da Ya, where have you been? Your mother almost couldn't find you!" She then hugged her tightly.

"Who are you? I don't know you. You're not my mother!" Yunxia pretended to be panicked and struggled.

"Why are you so disobedient? You can't disown your mother just because she won't buy you candied hawthorns. I'm just worried you'll get a toothache from eating too many. How can you hold a grudge?" The woman slapped her thigh and wiped away her tears.

Yunxia was a little excited, feeling that she had acted very well. After the aunt's performance, it was her turn again.

Yunxia's face paled slightly. She was at a loss, and cried, "You're not my mother! You're not my mother!"

The woman was even more pleased to hear this. She hugged the struggling girl and apologized to the people around her, "I'm sorry to have made you all laugh. My daughter is throwing a tantrum and disturbing you. Please go about your business." "Come on, daughter, your father and brother are waiting for us to come home." The woman pressed down on her shoulders as she walked.

Sure enough, not far away, a burly man was holding a sleeping little boy whose face was streaked with tears but whose delicate features were still undeniable. He waved to them and said, "Da Ya, mother of the child, over here."

After the woman pulled Yunxia along and they met up with the man in a few quick steps, they began to walk back quickly.

The scene that had just unfolded was witnessed by a 12-year-old boy not far away. The boy's eyes flickered, and then he whispered a few words to the two servants beside him before rushing off in the direction where Yun Xia and the others had left.

Inside the Yun residence, Madam Yun received pastries from Yun Xia's maid, Xiao Cui. She tasted one with great pleasure and said to her personal nanny, "She is a filial maid. It is worth the effort the family has put into raising her."

The personal nanny smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Madam's good management of the household that the children are all so sensible and filial."

The lady was very pleased to hear this, and with some tea, she ate two more pieces of pastry, and couldn't help but praise, "Little girl, you have quite the ingenuity."

When Aunt Wang received the pastries from her daughter, she kept praising them. She probably thought that if Yunxia gave her a piece of stinky tofu, she would say "It smells so good" without batting an eye.

After returning to the courtyard, the maids Xiao Cui and Xiao Guo went to report to Yun Xia, where they found the letter left on the table. The two were greatly alarmed and quickly handed the letter to Madam Yun.

Madam Yun was truly surprised that the little maid was so bold as to dare to sneak out of the mansion alone, and that the gatekeeper had not discovered her yet.

Madam Yun quickly instructed her servants, "Those on duty today, stay here. Everyone else, go to the streets immediately to look for the Second Miss." She also instructed a servant, "If the Second Miss is not found within an hour, go to where the Master is leaving the yamen and wait there. Make sure the Master knows that the Second Miss is missing as soon as possible."

Aunt Wang was the last to know that Yunxia had left a note and gone out. Madam Yun knew that she was gentle and weak, and that telling her would only cause her more trouble. Therefore, by the time Aunt Wang found out, it was already dark and she had not been able to find her. After that, the courtyard was filled with Aunt Wang's sobbing. Madam Yun had expected this and was extremely helpless.

Master Yun reported the case directly to the Kyoto Prefectural Government, asking for their assistance in the search. Coincidentally, his colleagues and some wealthy families also reported the case with him. After tallying the numbers, it was found that more than thirty children of varying ages had gone missing. A common characteristic was that most of these children were girls, and they generally came from relatively well-off families and were of good appearance.

Yunxia was led back to a secluded courtyard by the woman. The courtyard was overgrown and looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time. After opening a door, the woman pushed Yunxia inside and then locked the door with an iron chain.

Yunxia was pushed and stumbled, falling to the ground. After the woman locked the door, she immediately got up, brushed the dirt off her body, and looked around the inside of the house.

Inside the dusty room, five or six girls of similar age were crammed together, while the boy that the human trafficker's fake father had been holding on the street lay on the floor.

These people all looked sickly, and Yunxia suspected that they had all been drugged. Just as she was about to go and check on them, the door creaked open, and Yunxia immediately pretended to be listless.

The woman who had just left brought over a bowl of thin porridge and urged her to eat quickly. She then threatened, "Girl, eat quickly, or I won't give you any more food from today onwards."

Alright, no need to investigate why these kids are so listless; the drug in this bowl of porridge is the best proof.

Yunxia buried half her face in the porridge, quickly poured it into her spatial storage, and then listlessly leaned against the wall. Seeing this, the woman left the room with satisfaction and locked the door again.

Yunxia closed her eyes and began cultivating the Soul Cultivation Technique, focusing on not wasting a single second.

Soon after, a large number of people carrying torches arrived outside. Yunxia and her group were hurriedly crammed into a tunnel. The tunnel was interconnected, with some people leading the way and others whipping the ground at the back to urge them to move forward quickly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, it got brighter and brighter outside. Finally, they reached the exit. There were dozens of children outside, just like them, covered in dirt. They looked like they had just squeezed out of the tunnel.

These human traffickers are truly cunning; they've mastered the art of having multiple escape routes. Luckily, Yunxia infiltrated their ranks; otherwise, even if they were caught on the street, only a portion of the people could be rescued.

After everyone gathered in a magnificent courtyard, the children were allowed to wash and rest properly that night so that the customers who came to buy tomorrow would see them in their best condition. While washing up, Yunxia secretly slipped into the kitchen using her spatial ability and put a sufficient amount of sleeping potion in the water tank, ensuring that anyone who drank the water would be affected.

Tomorrow, so-called "noblemen" will first select those they deem suitable with generous sums of money. The rest will be trained according to their looks: girls will be groomed into courtesans or beautiful young women, while handsome boys will be trained as trainees for minor official positions. As for those with ordinary looks, they don't exist; they're too lazy to abduct the ugly ones—they don't want money-losing goods.

Tomorrow these children will be sold to various places. Even if the government comes, it might alert the villains, who might choose to kill them to silence them and leave no evidence. Therefore, Yunxia must act tonight.

Yunxia opened the system shop and purchased a "Sharp as a Cutter, Portable Soft Sword" suitable for the ordinary world, costing 10 points, as a self-defense weapon. This soft sword could be wrapped around her waist when not in use, which was particularly convenient.

In the dead of night, Yunxia used her sword to break the chains on the door. To ensure everything was foolproof, she placed sleeping gas in each room. Then, she covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs soaked in sleeping potion, guaranteeing they wouldn't wake up for two or three days.

The system checked and found that they were already outside the capital. The system said, "Host, don't worry. The soldiers are approaching you. Zhou Haochen, the youngest son of a first-rank general, discovered the human traffickers' trail, followed you into the secret passage, and has led the soldiers to guard all the exits."

Yunxia exclaimed in astonishment, "What a talent! They found us so quickly. It makes all my actions seem like a joke."

The system's assessment concluded that the host had been drugged, rendering the criminals unable to resist, while the soldiers and children suffered no harm. The system had some effect.

Yunxia was speechless, suspecting that the system was playing tricks on her.

Since the soldiers were arriving soon, Yunxia wasn't in a hurry. She stepped outside and, by the moonlight, could see faint outlines of mountains and forests ahead, which looked rather eerie at night. Most of the houses nearby were summer retreats for wealthy people.

The system says, "1000 meters to your right in the forest, a herb gatherer has sprained his ankle. We suggest you help him; you'll get some extra rewards."

Upon hearing about the extra reward, Yunxia immediately ran over excitedly. Upon closer inspection, she saw a sprightly old man sitting on the ground, weaving straw sandals with his fingers flying across the floor.

Yunxia blurted out, "Grandpa, did you sprain your ankle? Do you need me to help you up?" After saying that, she scratched her head awkwardly, wishing she could slap herself for blurting it out so carelessly.

Actually, my inner monologue was, "System, this is just a sprained ankle. I think the old man's legs are much better than mine."

The old man smiled and said, "My legs are just numb, girl, help me up."

Yunxia said, "Since you're alright, I'll be going now," and prepared to leave.

The old man, who was also the master of the Valley of Divine Healers, thought to himself, "This girl is quite wary. Not bad, she's a kind-hearted and clever little girl."

As they were speaking, they heard a rustling sound behind them. Yun Xia turned around and saw a small figure stumbling towards them. Just as it reached them, it collapsed with a thud.

Yunxia and Elder Qian, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, exchanged glances. Yunxia recognized the boy as the "fake younger brother" that the trafficker had been holding during the Lantern Festival. So she took out a small bottle of antidote, held it under the boy's nose, and let him smell it. The boy soon woke up.
