1 – The Ancestor Su Jiao Jiao Comes Down the Mountain
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
The stunningly beautiful woman lazily flipped through a book, completely ignoring the dozens of handsome young men addressing her as “Ancestor.”
Who would have thought?
These individuals kneeling humbly at her feet were heavyweight figures who could cause a nationwide frenzy just by appearing!
Financial tycoons, double-award-winning film emperors, media company CEOs…
At this moment, they all knelt respectfully at her feet!
“I heard that the Ancestor is about to descend the mountain to undergo tribulation. I have prepared an 800-square-meter, three-story villa with three luxury sports cars, ready to welcome the Ancestor at any time!”
“The Ancestor is the unparalleled beauty of three millennia, peerless in grace. How could we let the world remain unaware of your beauty this time? I have invited several film emperors and empresses to personally support you, ensuring you captivate the entire globe!”
“Ancestor, do you appreciate handsome men? I have signed dozens of fresh-faced young men of all types for your enjoyment, guaranteeing you a new groom every day!”
“Hmm…” The beauty Su Jiaojiao, hearing this, cast a faint glance with her soul-stirring eyes at these increasingly outrageous fellows.
She shifted her sitting posture.
“If I let you continue, will you start offering yourselves next?”
The dozens of young men below raised their heads.
They stared unblinkingly at the Ancestor’s peerlessly beautiful face.
In their eyes burned an unconcealed, fervent admiration.
“If we could have an everlasting romance with the Ancestor, it would be the greatest blessing of our past lives! If we could earn the Ancestor’s favor, we would die without regret in this lifetime!”
Hearing them speak in unison, Su Jiaojiao chuckled softly.
With a sweep of her sleeve, she imperiously flung them all thousands of miles away!
“Ungrateful descendants, get as far away from me as possible!”
“Ugh…” The group of handsome men, thrown thousands of miles away, landed heavily in the wilderness, creating massive craters.
They felt bitterly aggrieved.
Ungrateful descendants?
They weren’t even descendants of this Ancestor—there wasn’t a trace of blood relation even going back twenty generations!
They only addressed her as “Ancestor” because of her immense power and seniority!
If they had known, they would have just called her “Little Jiaojiao”!
Since they were going to get beaten anyway, they might as well have enjoyed a verbal advantage!
…
After tossing those ungrateful descendants down the mountain, Su Jiaojiao tidied up and descended via another mountain path.
Walking along the trail, she touched her hideously ugly face for the hundred and first time and sighed heavily.
Being too beautiful was such a nuisance—men always wanted to romance her at first sight!
It forced her to disguise herself as ugly now!
To avoid these annoying men constantly swarming around her, racking their brains to court her!
What romance? No romance—this old lady is devoted to the Dao!
“Mom, do I really not have a father?”
In Su Jiaojiao’s arms, a chubby little white fox looked up at her, speaking in human tongue.
She glanced down at the round, plump little fox, her eyes icy.
The little fox, frightened, curled its tail and quickly said with strong survival instincts, “Alright, alright, alright! I know, I know! I don’t have a father. I was born by Mom alone!”Su Jiaojiao gently tugged his little ear. “If you know, why ask?”
The little fox’s large, watery eyes looked at her innocently. “But all the other little babies have daddies, I want a daddy too… Without a daddy, I’m a cub different from everyone else, I’ll be discriminated against and bullied…”
Su Jiaojiao scoffed.
Who didn’t know that her son, Su Tuantuan, was the fierce little tyrant of Cuiping Mountain?
You couldn’t find a single young cub he hadn’t beaten up!
The chubby little fox blinked his big eyes innocently and harmlessly. “They bullied me first, I only hit them because I was angry… I’m actually very timid, I was really scared when I was hitting them…”
Su Jiaojiao looked at the little white fox. “Be good, can we just stop talking?”
The chubby little fox closed his mouth pitifully, listlessly swishing his fluffy, soft big tail.
Seeing the little one’s aggrieved look, Su Jiaojiao curled her lips.
You still want to find a daddy?
What daddy are you looking for!
No!
If your daddy finds your mommy me, he’ll definitely skin me alive!
After all, your mommy me has wronged him again and again, so much that even I feel embarrassed…
So this time coming down the mountain to face my tribulation, your mommy has decided to turn over a new leaf, follow my conscience and be a good person, and never provoke him again!
…
At the same moment.
On a main road in the city.
A low-key yet luxurious black car sped smoothly along.
Inside the car, a young man wearing a black silk shirt was resting with his eyes closed.
His features were sharp and profound, strikingly handsome, yet his skin was pale, his lips dull, as if he were someone long plagued by illness, not long for this world.
His aura was noble; even leaning back in the seat, he resembled an ancient emperor sitting on a dragon throne, making anyone who glanced at him involuntarily feel awe.
Just as the car was about to leave the city and enter the highway, Third Master Fu suddenly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were as dark as a starless, moonless night!
“Third Master, did you have another dream?”
Secretary Zhu in the passenger seat turned around, looking worriedly at Third Master Fu in the back seat.
“Yes.”
Third Master Fu rubbed his temples with his slender fingers, then turned to look at the rows of trees outside the car window.
He had just dreamed again.
It was the same dream that had haunted him for over a decade.
In the dream, he seemed to be a cruel monarch, indifferent to women, yet during a royal expedition, he accidentally met a young girl, going mad for her, becoming obsessed…
But after using him, she left silently, like an untouchable breeze.
Then the scene shifted, and he became a cold-faced general who vowed never to marry.
During a confrontation between two armies, he met that young girl again.
He had an inexplicable obsession with her, disregarding her wishes, insisting on taking her home to marry her.
Naturally, it didn’t end well; the young girl beat him up and fled.
The scene shifted once more, and he became a high-ranking prime minister, encountering the young girl yet again.
In the first two lives, he didn’t understand love, wasn’t gentle, but this time, he gave her almost all his tenderness.
However, on the night before their wedding, the young girl escaped once more…
Thinking of this, Fu Shangbai closed his eyes.
Every time he woke up, that feeling of his heart being emptied for her always left him in a somber mood for days.
He knew that what he saw in the dream must be his past lives.
But he didn’t understand.If he and the girl were truly fated, why did he fail to win her heart in all three lifetimes?
If they were not fated, why did he encounter her in each of his three reincarnations?
Who exactly was she?
Why, after she vanished—whether he was emperor, general, or powerful minister—could he never find her, even after turning the entire nation upside down?
She appeared out of nowhere, with no traceable origins.
She disappeared without a trace, as if she had never existed in this world.
He searched for her across three lifetimes, yet found nothing—as if she were not human at all…
