Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

"Click——"

The sound of a dry branch breaking underfoot came from behind, like a sharp sword piercing the silence of the mountains.

Zhao Keyan suddenly turned around nervously as if waking from a dream, but before she could even see who it was, a rope the thickness of a thumb was put around her neck, tightened instantly, and she was pulled backward.

"Burp—burp—"

She made intermittent gasping sounds, and her face turned bright red.

Zhao Keyan scratched and clawed at her neck, leaving her once delicate skin covered in scratches, like silk that had been scratched by a cat. She seemed oblivious to the scratches and struggled relentlessly, but she couldn't break free from the restraints.

"System, save me, please save me!" Zhao Keyan's eyes rolled back and were bloodshot, her mind constantly pleading for help.

"Ding, as long as the host agrees to unbind, this system will find you a new corpse to possess free of charge."

"Ding, emergency situation. Please agree to unbind as soon as possible."

The system's voice was sharp and piercing, repeatedly playing the same words in Zhao Keyan's mind. The voice was no longer calm as before, but became unusually agitated, like an old radio constantly making a crackling sound.

Zhao Keyan's consciousness was beginning to blur. Her whole body was convulsing, her tongue was sticking out involuntarily, and she was urinating and defecating. Even in this state, she still did not let go.

"Don't even think about it. Either save me, or we'll die together."

She was responding in her mind, laughing and crying like a gambler at a gambling table, her eyes still open and her mouth wide open even when her neck was broken.

"Pah, what a madman."

Seeing her like this, the eunuch behind her was startled. After loosening the rope, he kicked her twice to vent his anger.

"Alright, she's a woman our prince once favored, so don't be too presumptuous."

Xiao Xizi caught up from behind, panting as he leaned against the tree trunk. He scolded the little eunuch a few times, then squatted down and checked Zhao Keyan's breath under her nose. After a long while, he couldn't feel any breath flowing through her. He was about to get up and have someone carry her back to the temple.

Unexpectedly, the corpse on the ground decomposed rapidly right before their eyes, eventually turning into a pile of bones scattered on the ground, as if the corpse had been dead for many years.

"what--"

"My God, it's haunted, it's haunted!"

"Amitabha Buddha, Buddha protect us, Buddha protect us..."

Xiao Xizi and the others were so frightened that their pants were soaked with sweat. They didn't dare to go and collect the body anymore. They ran down the mountain on all fours, their legs weak, while shouting that there was a ghost.

One of them even slipped and fell to the ground, tumbling down the hillside. When the others saw him disappear from sight, they suddenly realized what was going on and simply covered their heads and rolled down the hillside after him.

Half an hour later, the forest returned to its usual bustling state.

Birds chirped on the branches, and the wind rustled through the grass.

suddenly--

A cloud of black and red mist suddenly flew out from the pile of white bones under the tree.

The mist gathered and dispersed, eventually forming a face that bore a five or six-point resemblance to Zhao Keyan, but was far less beautiful.

"Ding, host, this is our last chance. If you don't want to disappear from this world completely, please find a corpse to possess again within 24 hours."

A crackling electronic sound rang out from within the human face, startling the nearby birds into flapping their wings and flying away.

But the human-faced man just rolled his eyes and sneered dismissively:

"Oh, you can get anxious too. Didn't you just advise me to untie you? I knew you weren't honest."

Despite saying that, the face still turned back into a wisp of mist and drifted down the mountain with the wind.

Only a faint sound of gritted teeth could still be heard echoing in the mountains.

"King Qin, Emperor Qian Yuan, you have wronged me so much. If I, Zhao Keyan, do not tear you to pieces, I will not have done justice to what I have suffered..."

Not far away, on a treetop, a plump black cat with a faint green light in its eyes tilted its head, grinned, and scurried down the tree, slowly following behind the mist.

Inside the palace.

Shao Linshen was being held by the Empress at this moment, receiving visits from the concubines of the harem.

Although his nominal father is not fond of beautiful women and has only 27 concubines in his harem, including some "old-timers" from his time in the Prince's residence, these women are all still beautiful, with varying body types and unique styles.

But Shaolin, deep in this gentle embrace, longed to sprout wings and fly away.

"Ah chirp!"

He smelled the various fragrances in the air and couldn't help but sneeze loudly, which immediately frightened the group of women away.

This is His Majesty's precious treasure, which he has longed for for decades and finally obtained. If anyone causes this precious gem to fall ill, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to be chopped off.

Immediately, everyone wisely left behind a pile of gifts, bowed to the Empress, and took their leave.

"The young prince is still too young to be frightened. All of you sisters should stay in your respective palaces in your spare time and pray for the young prince. It would be best if you did not wander around."

The Empress looked at the child in her arms with eyes full of love. She was much more lenient towards the group of beautiful women and even exempted them from the morning and evening greetings for the next year.

She just wants to spend more time getting to know the child as soon as possible so she can take him back to Ganquan Palace to raise him. She doesn't have time to deal with these women.

The concubines were all sensible and bowed in agreement. They had come to show their respect and wouldn't dare to provoke the tiger every time.

After everyone had gone far away, the Empress reluctantly handed the child back to Consort Shu.

Seeing that Consort Shu was still as foolish and innocent as ever, she thought to herself that fools sometimes have good fortune. She smiled and said kindly:

"I know you are kind-hearted and easily bullied. If anything happens in the future, just send someone to me, and I will take care of it for you."

As the Empress spoke, she slightly turned her head, and immediately a maidservant came out from behind and bowed deeply to Consort Shu.

Consort Shu hurriedly told people to get up, and looked at the Empress with a puzzled expression.

The other party maintained an air of elegance and nobility, smiling as they said:

"This is Bifang, who serves me. She does know some basic medical skills. Let her stay by the young prince's side so that the servants can serve him more meticulously."

The little prince will be registered under her name from now on, which is equivalent to her own child. She doesn't want the child to get into trouble because of Consort Shu's foolishness.

Moreover, she had consulted the Emperor about this matter long ago, and he had agreed.

As for Consort Shu, perhaps because the Duke of Liguo had previously comforted her, she readily accepted the woman's hand in marriage.

Seeing her son's bright, round eyes still darting around, she affectionately patted his little head. Then, remembering the news she had overheard, her eyes darted around, and she asked the Empress:

"Your Majesty, I have heard that Consort Zhao, a concubine of the Prince of Qin, has been imprisoned in Baiyun Temple by you. Is it because that woman behaved improperly that she was punished by you?"
