Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

But thinking of how dangerous Hua could be, Doctor Zhang also felt helpless. His gaze landed on the book that laid on the table. His friend had just sent that book to him and he read it on his free time and even specified that this time he was using a very special material for it.

"How about this, try reading this book and then tell me what you're thinking about it."

Hua looked at the novel and picked it up. Her movement looked slow and unhurried, which seemed very natural. The cover was a young man in the middle of a battlefield and Hua turned the book around to look at the synopsis.

'Long Qian Xing suddenly transmigrated into the ancient world. Can a person from the modern world survive when facing so many schemes directed at him?'

Reading it, Hua raised her head to look at Doctor Zhang. There was no change in her expression but it was clear that she recognized the name. Wasn't this the name that Doctor Zhang lamented at when she came in?

Doctor Zhang coughed. "It's like this. I really like wuxia story and well, a lot of them starts with the main character transmigrating either from the future. I asked my friend to write this one… *cough* However, I can assure you that the story is very thrilling!" 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Hua passed a look at Doctor Zhang as if asking, 'Is it important?'

Knowing that his attempt to impress her failed, he coughed again. "Anyway, give me your opinion about the book next week. There's nothing else I can ask from you today."

Hearing his words, Hua stood up unhurriedly with the book in her hand. She seemed to be acting casually but the guards who were watching often felt that they couldn't follow her movement.

It was indeed strange.

"Captain, Hua is returning back to her room."

"Captain, our view is blocked."

The captain was gloomy. Even though Hua always acted like a normal person, he knew very well that her action was in consideration of their ambush location. Every single movement of hers was deliberate and even in her sleep, she would wake up at the slightest interruption.

It was so hard to handle her, ah!

"Captain, why do we have to keep her alive?" Another soldier asked with tears. He felt like he was going through hell the longer he was watching this one assassin who didn't look any different from an ordinary high school girl.

"Shut your trap! It's the order from the higher up and I naturally didn't know anything." The captain was gloomy. "What did she do now?"

"Reading."

"…She's really reading the trash novel Doctor Zhang gave her?"

"Yes."

The captain's lips twitched and chose not to comment anymore. Doctor Zhang was a specialist in phycology and in terms of human interaction but he could not understand Hua. It was why he was placed here to monitor her movement and gave report of what he found.

Even though he was a good doctor… there was a problem: he liked scheming story and also wuxia novels! Thanks to that, his best friend had tailored several novels that was written solely for him.

That novel about Long Qian Xing was one of them...

To be handing that kind of novel to Hua, he really wondered what was wrong with Doctor Zhang's brain.

Time ticked.

Inside the small cottage where Hua lived, the young girl was sitting with the book placed in front of her. She could easily read fast and no information was skipped as it was part of her training before. The content of the book in front of her was of no exception.

It was really a common story that could be found everywhere, though she herself had never enjoyed reading novels.

Hua's eyes suddenly narrowed when she finished reading the book. Standing up, her gaze was solemn as she looked in one direction. Without warning, her body swiftly moved towards the bathroom and locked it from inside.

*rumble*

Outside, the earth was moving at rapid speed. Just as the soldier was stunned at Hua's sudden movement, they were alarmed that there was a large avalanche heading in the direction of the secret institution.

BANG!

The large volume of earth swept everything away. The large institution was covered in earth completely, rendering any effort to find survivors exceedingly low. Not to mention… 15 minutes after being buried was the same as being dead.

…

Hua lost her consciousness inside the bathroom when the earth knocked it over. Humans were really not a match for nature no matter how much she had trained her body.

'Did I die?'

Even when asking the question to herself, Hua was exceedingly calm. However, she felt that her body shook as if someone was trying to wake her up. In the next moment, she heard crying and sobbing.

"Miss! Miss! Please wake up! Old Madam will not blame you for coming here anymore, so please wake up."

Old Madam?

Miss?

Hua was unfamiliar with those terms, but she slowly opened her eyes. Her dark obsidian eyes scanned across the ceiling and the room instantly. It was a large room with exquisite decoration. She was lying on a bed with a young girl lying beside her, crying and sobbing.

Not far from her, a young woman, around the age of 14 or 15 was looking at her with mocking expression with several other young women behind her not far in age. They were wearing loose fitted dress with long sleeve. Aside from the woman at the front wearing bright color, the rest looked paler in comparison.

It really looked like the ancient world.

"See, she's already awake! Are you going to make ruckus? You're just coming here to see Grandma and yet you faint after drinking tea. How ridiculous. Do you really think that we'll fall for your ploy?"

Hearing the accusation, Hua was not quick to answer. She didn't know where she was and even then, she was never the impulsive person. Sitting up, she could faintly smell distinctive smell of herbs.

Her eyes narrowed as she recognized this compound. It was… poison?

"Gee, now that you have woken up, you can scram." The woman lifted her chin.

The young girl beside Hua quickly bowed down. "Miss Long, Miss is just feeling unwell because of Madam's recent passing. Please forgive her for suddenly passing out."

"She's feeling unwell but still come here. Does she think that…" the woman, Miss Long, was about to lash out when someone interrupted her.

"My dear Jie Jie, it's still early and Grandma is resting.. Do you wish to wake up everyone in the residence?" a soothing voice came from the entrance.
