Bloody Kyoto

"Now you can speak." The voice, chilling to the bone, snapped Consort Hui out of her daze at being suddenly in a different place.

Consort Hui looked at Li Nanle's red eyes, her body trembled, and she couldn't say a word.

Li Nanle didn't mind, lit an incense stick, and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Consort Hui grabbed her arm in a moment of panic, but quickly let go in fear.

Li Nanle turned around and stared at her, then quickly tied Consort Hui up with a vine.

Consort Hui, disregarding her bindings, saw that she was about to leave again and said urgently, "People from another world, I know about the past life."

These words successfully made Li Nanle stop in her tracks. Then she waved her hand, and a chair appeared out of thin air in front of her.

She sat down, her eerie red eyes looking at Consort Hui.

"Speak!" She waved her hand again and extinguished the puppet incense that had just been lit.

Consort Hui, disregarding her shock at how the object could conjure up something out of thin air, quickly recounted everything she knew.

More than an hour later, Consort Hui finally gave a general account of her past life.

After listening, Li Nanle sat there motionless for a long time.

Is Zheng Jiaojiao the biggest winner?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Consort Hui became extremely nervous. "Um, you..."

"Who is it that captured Yunxia in this life?!"

Before Consort Hui could speak, Li Nanle interrupted her. Upon hearing the question, she immediately replied, "They are the reclusive Xiang family."

After saying that, she added, "The person who fought you at the beginning last night was the head of the Xiang family."

Upon hearing this, Li Nanle's hands, which were resting on her lap, clenched suddenly. After a moment, she asked again:

"What's the name of the water-controlling otherworldly being?"

Consort Hui did not answer immediately, but thought about it carefully before saying uncertainly, "It seems to be called Du Wanwan."

Upon hearing this name, Li Nanle's eyes widened suddenly.

Du Wanwan is a water-based ability user. Although she is petite and cute, her personality is completely at odds with her appearance.

She is self-reliant and strong; no matter how difficult the environment, she can grit her teeth and get through it all on her own.

She once wanted to include her in her and Yunxia's little group, but Yunxia refused by acting coquettishly.

The reason is that she can only have one partner and doesn't want anyone else involved.

She had only had the idea; she didn't necessarily intend to accept Du Wanwan into their group.

Since Yunxia was unwilling, she naturally gave up the idea.

At first, she thought Yunxia didn't like Du Wanwan, but later she found out that Yunxia was very good to Du Wanwan.

They provide food and drink, and even risk their own lives to help those in danger.

This left her completely baffled.

However, she didn't ask why, because she admired Du Wanwan.

She was happy to help her.

However, after hearing Consort Hui mention the name Du Wanwan, she felt that Yunxia's behavior at the time was quite strange.

They did everything they could to help, but were unwilling to go with them.

Her reason at the time was that she didn't want there to be another person among them.

Looking back now, that reason was probably just to appease her.

what is the problem?

Furthermore, Consort Hui would never lie, since Du Wanwan, a water-based ability user, was from their post-apocalyptic world, and she couldn't possibly have fabricated such a story.

In other words, in their previous life... no, it should be a certain life, Yunxia and Du Wan transmigrated to this world.

Yunxia, ​​however, still pursued a love that lasted a lifetime, ultimately losing her life.

After her death, Du Wanwan went mad and sought revenge for her, just like she is doing now.

The only difference between the two lifetimes is that Du Wanwan didn't come in this lifetime, but she did.

It was as if she had taken Du Wanwan's place.

I felt a little uncomfortable, but it quickly disappeared.

She continued her analysis, explaining that because people are different, their actions naturally differ, which explains why the events unfolded differently in the two lifetimes after Yunxia's death.

When Du Wanwan was seeking revenge, Old Ancestor Han intervened.

When she sought revenge, Old Ancestor Han did not intervene.

But why didn't that Old Ancestor Han make a move? Instead, he warned her to be careful of the Xiang family last night?

Suddenly, I remembered what Consort Hui had said about her past life, in which the old ancestor Han blamed himself for not being able to protect the Zhu family's imperial power.

Looking up at Consort Hui, who had a tense expression, she asked, "Besides blaming himself, did that Patriarch Han say anything else?"

Consort Hui didn't immediately understand what she was asking, but it took her a while to realize what she meant.

After much effort, she finally remembered it.

"He often sighed after calculating, saying that he shouldn't have interfered in the matter of the otherworldly people's revenge."

"They also said that murderers will be killed in return, and it is understandable for people from other worlds to seek revenge."

After saying that, Consort Hui understood. She seemed to know why Patriarch Han was not taking action in this life.

It's because he's correcting mistakes from his past life.

Did he also know about the past life he foresaw in his dream?

Thinking about it, she shook her head again. Impossible. If Ancestor Han also knew about her past life, the first thing he would do would definitely be to kill Zheng Jiaojiao.

So he somehow foresaw that his intervention would only make things worse.

If he hadn't stopped that water-controlling otherworldly being from seeking revenge in his past life, that otherworldly being would definitely have stormed into the palace just like the one he is now.

If she had dealt with all those involved in the murder of Huo Yunxia, ​​the subsequent flooding of the capital and other major cities would not have occurred.

If these things hadn't happened, the Shang Dynasty wouldn't have been in chaos.

If the merchants remain calm, Zheng Jiaojiao will have no opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Thinking of her face full of regret, if only she and Sheng'er hadn't gotten involved in Huo Yunxia's affair in this life.

After the otherworldly beings kill the emperor and Prince Ning, only his son will be able to ascend the throne.

As for the crown prince, he's a useless piece of trash who won't survive even without lifting a finger.

The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it.

They shouldn't have openly participated; they could have simply waited until they killed Huo Yunxia and obtained some of her blood.

What she regrets even more is that she didn't figure out the key to seizing abilities in her previous life.

It wasn't until this life, after Old Ancestor Han told the Emperor, that she learned of it from him.

If she had known from the beginning, Zheng Jiaojiao would never have had that ability.

They were just one step away from utter defeat.

If the healing power were to fall into her hands, she would definitely not allow the otherworldly beings to take it away.

Her expression turned ferocious as she thought about it.

"What are you thinking about, getting so absorbed in it?"

A cool, emotionless voice rang in her ears, and Consort Hui shuddered.

Oops!

What was she thinking?

After witnessing the various abilities of the otherworldly beings before her, how could she still dare to dream?

"No, no, I wasn't thinking about anything."

Li Nanle couldn't read minds, so he naturally didn't know what she was thinking. He simply glanced at her and continued to ask:

"You said Zheng Jiaojiao is the mastermind behind everything, scheming against everyone, and even mentioned luck. What exactly happened? Explain clearly."

When this was mentioned, Consort Hui was very resentful. How could a mere brat like her have the right to ascend to that position?

It was stolen from his son.

"Before his death, Ancestor Han told everyone in the clan that a demon had been born and warned them to protect themselves."

"And this prodigy is Zheng Jiaojiao."

"He also said that all those who participated in the murder of Huo Yunxia had been subjected to a high-level luck-stealing spell by Zheng Jiaojiao beforehand."

"As long as those people die tragically, the remaining fortune of their lives will gather on her."

"This gave her the power to fight against the heavens."

"The strength to fight against the heavens?" Li Nan murmured.

“Yes.” Consort Hui frowned. “Ancestor Han said that even though Zheng Jiaojiao has seized the throne, she still has no imperial aura whatsoever.”

"That fortune is the strength to resist, but it is also a disguise to deceive the heavens."
