She was utterly ecstatic, so excited that she couldn’t keep her heartbeat under control! It felt as if a gush of erupting magma was surging through her chest.
Liu Sitian picked up the emerald water ladle resting to the side and took a small sip.
She felt like she was about to float away.
It was as if her soul was leaving her body—in a single word, “refreshing”!!
It took her a good while to compose herself before she reluctantly turned her head toward the other well next to it.
Hmm…
The name was so strange; it was actually called Huangquan.
Could the well water be yellow?
Liu Sitian leaned over the edge of the well and peered inside. The color looked perfectly normal.
She was completely baffled and wanted to touch it with her hand. As long as she made contact, she would know what it was used for.
However, the area surrounding this well was thick with swirling black mist, which made her a bit timid. At first glance, this did not look like anything good.
Even though she knew the space would not harm her, her legs still turned to jelly out of sheer instinct.
But her fear was no match for her curiosity. Later, after repeated observations and experiments, she finally figured it out—this was an absolute must-have for doing bad deeds.
This well definitely didn’t belong to the “people” up above; she guessed it must belong to the “people” down below.
No wonder it was called Huangquan—the Yellow Springs of the Underworld!
If someone drank this spring water, at best they would suffer from vomiting, diarrhea, and agonizing cramps in their internal organs; at worst, they would bleed from their seven facial orifices and drop dead on the spot.
It all depended on how much or how little they drank.
If it were paired with auxiliary medicinal herbs, the effects would instantly double.
Good grief, it had scared her so badly at the time that she immediately started whimpering and fled the space at lightning speed. She was absolutely terrified!
After that, she didn’t enter the space for several days.
The main issue was: why did such a terrifying well have to be placed right next to the spiritual spring water?
How was she supposed to come here and drink water every day in the future?
In the end, she couldn’t resist the temptation of the spiritual spring water. She braced herself and came back a few times. By now, she was no longer afraid and even dared to peer down into the well.
But at that initial moment, she had been scared out of her wits.
Liu Sitian wanted to take a break; she was a little tired.
So she skipped over and pushed open the grand doors of the backyard warehouse. She moved a chair over, sat down comfortably, crossed her chubby little legs, and bounced one foot up and down.
She looked with absolute delight at all the various supplies she had thrown a tantrum to get.
As a person, when it comes to critical moments, you really need to be thick-skinned. If she hadn’t been thick-skinned, where would she have gotten all these amazing things? Looking at this massive warehouse filled to the brim, she felt incredibly happy!
Speaking of which, she really had to recount why she had transmigrated.
And, while she was at it, the origin of the space.
It was simply too bizarre. Based on her more than ten years of experience reading web novels, she was certain that her reason for transmigrating was the most eccentric and fake kind.
Even the dumbest author couldn’t come up with this kind of setup.
Even looking back on it now, she still found it hard to believe!
There was no car accident, no saving someone’s life, no phone leaking electricity while playing with it in the middle of the night, no thunder and lightning, no cheating scumbag boyfriend, and no drowning her sorrows in alcohol.
In her past life, she was just an ordinary person through and through. In a city where the average monthly salary was three to four thousand yuan, she managed to earn seven to eight thousand. It was hard work, but she was content.
Although life had many frustrations, her parents absolutely doted on her and her family was harmonious. She had dreamed about transmigrating before.
But she had never expected it to actually happen.
If she transmigrated, what would happen to her parents?
Besides, who would willingly transmigrate from the twenty-first century, where there was plenty of good food and drink, back to the 1960s?
An era where people bragged if they could eat meat two or three times a year; an era where clothes were covered in patches and as long as they didn’t expose your backside, they were fine; an era of eating wild vegetables and sweet potato flour pancakes every single day, with no running water, difficulties using electricity, no smartphones, no Weibo, and no spicy hot pot!!!
Just thinking about it was horrifying.
Yet, such a horrifying thing had happened to happen to her.
She had merely encountered an unattended stall while buying things at a night market. Being honest, she paid the correct amount, and to round it up, she generously paid an extra five cents.
The food was delicious, and she even gave it a perfect ten-out-of-ten review in her head.
Just because of that, she had a bizarre dream that night. In the dream, there was a man wearing a glittering, golden robe who claimed to be an immortal. He said she was his 99,999th customer and that she was very honest.
He said her honesty had touched him, so he wanted to reward her. He pulled out a lot of treasures from his person and let her choose.
In the dream, she didn’t believe him at all. Who was he trying to fool?
She was someone who had downloaded the anti-fraud app, after all.
But thinking that it was just a dream anyway, she figured choosing one wouldn’t hurt; it was no big deal.
So she picked the most inconspicuous one. Out of a vast display of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, she chose a ragged, battered piece of parchment.
What had she been thinking at the time?
Right, the parchment had a drawing on it, which looked pretty interesting, like a legendary treasure map. Furthermore, as a human being, one shouldn’t push their luck too far. Picking something too valuable would show a lack of manners, even in a dream.
Ultimately, she still thought it was just a dream.
If it had been broad daylight, you better believe she would have picked that biggest ruby.
She definitely would have chosen it.
But she never in a million years expected that this was actually real!!!
The moment she made her choice, that immortal’s face winced, the corners of his mouth twitched, and after a brief silence, he flicked his sleeve and fanned her straight into the 1960s. She arrived just as her head was being pushed out during birth.
Just ask yourself if you’d be scared.
She was scared to death!
And there was something even more terrifying.
She could clearly feel that the little soul leaving the body was absolutely ecstatic, dancing with joy, and completely impatient to leave!!
The newly transmigrated Liu Sitian: “…”
When other people transmigrated, weren’t the original owners of the bodies usually very reluctant to leave?
They would shed a river of tears and snot, telling the newcomer to take good care of their parents and sharing their final wishes. Why was this little infant so happy that she was practically blooming with joy?
Could it be…
Thinking of a certain possibility, Liu Sitian was horrified and burst into a loud, wailing cry.
As a newborn, she cried so hard she could barely catch her breath, feeling that her life was completely ruined.
Just because she picked a piece of ragged parchment, she was being retaliated against. This family must be a bunch of awful people who favored boys over girls. Otherwise, why would that little soul be so happy and impatient to run away?
Wouldn’t that make her a miserable little Cinderella? She would have endless chores to do in the future, living in dire straits every single day, completely wretched and miserable!
It was even possible that at a young age, she would be married off for a bride price, and the other party might even be a wrinkled, ugly old man. Then, her maternal family would continue to leech off her like vampires…
Anyway, having been completely born into the world, Liu Sitian felt thoroughly unwell just thinking about that possibility.
Don’t ask why she, as a modern person, didn’t think about completely dominating everyone. Who told her to offend an immortal in the first place?
Besides, she didn’t have any combat skills, wasn’t exceptionally smart, and didn’t know she had a golden finger yet. Who was she going to dominate?
She had nowhere to run even if she wanted to.
Surely no one would issue her a travel introduction letter.
Then she thought of her parents who had doted on her in her past life. Now that she was gone, what would they do when they grew old?
In the modern world, buying things and seeing a doctor was so expensive, yet earning money was so hard. Her older brother couldn’t be counted on, her parents didn’t have much savings for their old age, and the family still had a mortgage to pay!
Besides, she hadn’t even had the chance to properly fulfill her filial duties to them!
Thinking about all of this, Liu Sitian cried with even deeper sorrow. She lost her breath and fainted right away.
