Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Minister under the Skirt (1)
 

Chuzheng opened her eyes to find herself facing a dagger, its cold light flashing as the sharp blade plummeted towards her.

Chuzheng lay on the ground, her only option to block with her hands, but with limited room to move, the dagger grazed her arm and lodged in the crevice of a stone nearby.

Chuzheng’s elbow struck the person attacking her, and she wrested the dagger from their grasp.

The direction of the dagger turned, stabbing towards the opponent.

The person opposite seemed not to have anticipated Chuzheng’s strength, failing to dodge in time and getting slashed by the dagger.

That person tried to move to the side to avoid further injury, but the space was too confined; the dagger approached from the side, leaving no room to evade.

Pu chi—

The blade pierced flesh.

Before Chuzheng could catch her breath, she heard the sleazy voice of the King’s Account.

[Congratulations, Miss, on your successful first replay within this plane, loading data…]

Chuzheng: “…”

Not you bastard!

Hold on!

What do you mean by replay?!

[You killed the Good Person Card, of course, it’s a replay.]

“…”

Good Person Card?

The one wanting to kill me?

I was simply defending myself, why should I be the one to replay!

Darkness fell before Chuzheng’s eyes.

The dagger came at her with the same angle and force, but Chuzheng lifted her hand and grabbed the assailant’s wrist.

Muttering “Good Person Card” several times to herself, she barely suppressed the urge to finish him off.

Chuzheng took the dagger, pushed the person away, and braced him with her foot behind.

“Your Highness still has some strength,” said a hoarse but pleasant male voice in the dim environment.

His tone carried a hint of teasing charm, oddly seductive.

Your Highness?

Ancient times?

Chuzheng had no idea what was going on and chose to remain silent in response.

The man on the other side chuckled darkly, “Your Highness is indeed fortunate to be alive, I’m quite disappointed.”

Why would my survival disappoint you, you freak?

Has the Good Person Card gone mad?!

Chuzheng barely stopped herself from killing him with one strike.

The surrounding environment was dim, and Chuzheng couldn’t make out the man’s features, only a vague silhouette.

He seemed unfazed by the possibility of Chuzheng attacking him, his words full of provocation.

Chuzheng couldn’t see him clearly, and he couldn’t see her clearly either.

“Since Your Highness is awake, you might want to think about how to get out. Don’t worry, I want to leave too, and won’t attack Your Highness again… after all, I’ve missed the best opportunity.”

To seem more credible, the man raised his hands to show he was harmless.

Chuzheng let go and retreated to the opposite side.

The man sat on the ground: “Your Highness has just been injured; it will be very difficult for you to leave from here.”

Chuzheng touched her shoulder, feeling a sticky wetness spreading on her fingertips.

“Your Highness, what do you plan to do?”

The man’s use of “Your Highness” would have sounded melodious—if he hadn’t been holding a dagger and trying to kill her.

Without giving anything away, Chuzheng surveyed her surroundings. It was a small space, manageable for two, but crowded for three.

The area was encircled with stones, and it was unclear where they were.

Chuzheng wanted to retrieve her memories, but there was a Good Person Card opposite her, intent on killing her.

Chuzheng walked towards the man.

“Your Highness!” His voice rose slightly.

Chuzheng didn’t stop, and the man grew visibly nervous, with no room to back away: “Your Highness…”

With swift motions, Chuzheng struck, and the man’s voice vanished as she watched him collapse.

After a moment’s thought, she gave him a kick.

That felt much better.

–

The original owner of the body was surnamed Jun.

When the original host regained consciousness, she was mistaken for the Great Princess of Jingyuan Country. Her attempts to explain were misunderstood as the Great Princess playing a new trick.

The original host didn’t know why she was here.

That’s right, she had amnesia.

The Great Princess, who looked identical to the original host, was leading people on an expedition to a secret realm, and right now she was in that secret realm…

The people of this world cultivated Xuan Qi.

Xuan Qi existed between heaven and earth, drawn into the body and then transformed into one’s own strength.

And secret realms were treasured lands or training grounds left behind by powerful beings of the past.

The timing of their opening was uncertain, sometimes once every hundred years, sometimes once every thousand years.

The secret realm the Great Princess participated in this time was a rare one, occurring once in a thousand years, with precious and rare items inside.

The original host was forced to substitute for the Great Princess.

The original host only remembered her name was Jun Chuzheng, and although she was aware of common knowledge, she didn’t remember anything else.

She didn’t dare to act rashly, so she could only return under the identity of the Great Princess.

Several months later.

A woman appeared with a group of people — under the name of Jun Chuzheng.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The woman wore a mask, never showing her true face.

As soon as these people appeared, they were greeted with caution by the Empress and treated as honored guests.

It didn’t take long for the original host to recognize that the masked woman was the true Great Princess.

The original host wanted to understand what was happening, but when she approached the Great Princess, she was rebuked and punished for the offense of impertinence.

Afterward, the Great Princess pursued her relentlessly, targeting her at every turn as if she held a deep hatred for her.

Without her memories, the original host couldn’t uncover the truth and had to investigate step by step.

Unfortunately, before she could find out the truth, the original host was killed in a scheme devised by the Great Princess.

The Great Princess was undoubtedly the one she had to seek revenge on…

Chuzheng rubbed her temples.

Such a hassle.

Just get it over with!

This Great Princess was really absurd.

At the age of three, she drove away the tutor who was supposed to educate her, at five, she climbed up rooftops and removed tiles, and by ten, she had already beaten everyone in Jingyuan Imperial City — of course, that’s was simply because no one dared to fight her, after all, she was the Great Princess.

Women ruled in Jingyuan Country.

The Great Princess was the next Empress of Jingyuan Country, showered with favor, glory, and riches.

But this also fostered an arrogant nature in the Great Princess.

She kept several beautiful young men in her mansion, indulging in pleasure and leading a life of debauchery.

Yet the only person the Great Princess truly cared for was one.

And that person was the very one who had just attempted to kill her.

[Hidden Mission: Please obtain one Good Person Card from Xie Shu.]

Chuzheng: “…”

He wants to kill me!

He wants to kill me!!

He wants to kill me!!!

[Miss, don’t be agitated. He wanted to kill you because he thought you were the Great Princess. You’re not the Great Princess.]

Chuzheng with an indifferent face: “Does that change the fact that he wants to kill me?”

[…]The King’s Account felt a bit suffocated.

[Miss, please review Xie Shu’s information.]

Xie Shu.

Picked up by the Great Princess.

When he was brought back by the Great Princess, Xie Shu was injured all over. If he were treated in time, he could retain his strength.

But the Great Princess not only didn’t have him attended to promptly, she even had someone sever his meridians, rendering him a cripple and imprisoning him in the mansion.

After regaining consciousness, Xie Shu found himself crippled and imprisoned within the mansion, and naturally, he was unwilling.

Perhaps the Great Princess truly liked him. No matter what Xie Shu did, she never forced him.

Instead, she revolved around him all day long.

Even though Xie Shu never showed her any warmth.

But the Great Princess liked him, giving him the stars if he wanted the stars, The Moon if he wanted the moon.

Even for this trip to the secret realm, the Great Princess took Xie Shu with her.

Because of chaos, the main force got scattered, and by the time they found the Great Princess again, it was the amnesiac original host.
