Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter

If one said that Zi You was a mortal, then she was one who was aloof from the mundane world and glamorous in her nobility. If one said that she was a fairy, then she was more enchanting and spirited than fairies. If one said that she was a demon, she was more elegant and holy than a demon.

These many contradictory characteristics combined in this little woman’s body seemed very harmonious. It was her distinctive charm. One look and one couldn’t help but be mesmerized, but also ashamed and afraid of defiling and blaspheming her.

Second martial brother had thought that Zi You would be very beautiful, but he was stunned when he saw her. He then smiled and nodded. No wonder. No wonder……

A welcoming and farewell banquet started. The exotic music and dancing left a deep impression on Shangguan LingRan and second martial brother.

It was finally time to leave. Zi You didn’t dare to delay any longer. It was already June. In her previous life, grandfather and uncle went to pacifiy the rebellion in Nanjiang in August. They succumbed to miasma and both died in the line of duty.

And Shangguan LingRan had already told her, “When I left Great Yan, there were riots on Nanjiang’s border. I think that grandfather and uncle will lead troops to Nanjiang to pacify the rebellion soon.”

So, she must immediately rush to Nanjiang and not let tragedy repeat itself before something happened to grandfather and uncle.

Many major events were different from her previous life. For example, Shangguan Lingluo died and An Wang was still alive and still stationed in the north. And she was not married to Zhao HongXiang, but was in India right now.

But many things were on course with the original timeline, like this rebellion for instance. So, she had to find a way to change the ending.

Dier was reluctant for her daughter to leave, but she thought of Mu YingYi, whom she still could not forget, facing danger. She suppressed her reluctance and smiled as she bid her daughter farewell.

Goddess Mari walked over to Zi You. Zi You crouched and touched her feet to show her respect.

Goddess Mari felt reluctant at this point. She placed her hand on Zi You’s head and said kindly, “You can break through my seal. That means that your spiritual power is already very strong. Now, I will send another part of my spiritual power to you.”

She poured a stream of spiritual power into Zi You’s body through her Baihui point.

Then she told her and Shangguan LingRan again, “You don’t have to be afraid of anyone right now, but it is still dangerous going back to Great Yan. You and Shangguan LingRan must work together to fight your enemies.”

“Yes.” They both bowed.

Zi You could feel a strong airflow running in her body. She immediately stored this spiritual Qi into her dantian.* [Two inches below the navel where Qi resides.]

Her spiritual power had increased to another level because her mother had told her, “You’er, Shangguan LingRan is here. He’s fighting with your great-grandmother.”

She had been afraid that something would happen to Shangguan LingRan. She had anxiously jumped on Feiyun, concentrated her spiritual power in her hands, and pushed upwards.

Even she didn’t expect that she would break through Goddess Mari’s seal.

Even Dier didn’t expect to see her daughter riding Feiyun out of the pool. She covered her mouth and looked at her in surprise and disbelief.

Afterwards, she came to realize her grandmother’s intentions. Goddess Mari told her, “You’er will certainly leave sooner or later and she won’t stay in the God Realm for a long time. If I don’t force her to cultivate in Blackwater Pool, how will she improve her powers so quickly? If she returned to Great Yan like she was, she would only die.”

After bidding her relatives goodbye, Zi You rode the clouds with Shangguan LingRan and second martial brother towards Great Yan……

When they arrived on Great Yan land, Shangguan LingRan said to his second martial brother, “Second martial brother, go back and tell Shifu so that he won’t be worried. I’ll go back to see him after the Nanjiang rebellion ends.”

Second martial brother didn’t seem to want to be sandwiched between them. He smiled meaningfully and bid them farewell. But he had a very good impression of Zi You. She and his younger martial brother were really a match made in heaven.

Without second martial brother, Shangguan LingRan started getting mischievous. The little woman whom he had been yearning for for more than two years was in front of him. And she was now even more beautiful and enchanting than before. So how could he hold back?

When they arrived in the mortal world, they didn’t dare to ride the clouds anymore, so they rode horse carriages. Shangguan LingRan absolutely refused to ride a horse and also sat in the horse carriage.

The five black mandara spirits took turns to transform into a coachman to drive.

Shangguan LingRan really liked staring at Zi You without blinking. He did the same thing even when second martial brother was there. It made Zi You shy and embarrassed, so she avoided him.

When second martial brother was there, she was too embarrassed to look carefully at how Shangguan LingRan had changed. Now that second martial brother wasn’t here anymore, Zi You was bold enough to look at him.

But Zi You was startled as soon as their eyes met. His slender and moving bright phoenix eyes were as sincere and obsessed like a sea of flowers. His eyes only had her in them.

His gaze was as if he had thrown thousands of wisps of silk and wrapped her up tightly.

“How is it? Is your husband handsome?” Shangguan LingRan’s eyes brightened. A light smile appeared on his handsome face. His eyes were as gentle as flowing water. His voice was as gentle and bewitching like a spring breeze swaying over feathers.

Zi You looked down bashfully. She hid the trembling in her eyes. She could almost feel the thundering of her heart when their eyes met. She was caught off guard and involuntarily wanted to avoid his gaze. She tried hard to restrain this feeling that she had never had before.

It seemed that she had never had this feeling before in her previous life or current life. It was numbing and quickly spread from her heart to her limbs.

Zi You took a deep breath and tried hard to restrain her throbbing heart. She was afraid that she would sink into the feeling. But it was not the time to talk about love and relationships right now.

She looked up at Shangguan LingRan. She didn’t know when it was that she could clearly smell that bamboo scent.

Shangguan LingRan couldn’t help but be ecstatic when he saw that she looked at him with tenderness and bashfulness. Then he saw her lower her head and immediately stood up. He walked over to her and asked, “What’s wrong, YouYou? Are you angry at me?”

“No.” Zi You looked up and looked somewhat shyly at Shangguan LingRan. Her face was completely red, which rendered her small face even more beautiful. Her simple gaze almost made Shangguan LingRan couldn’t help but touch her.

“Then why is your face so red? Ah! Are you feverish?” Shangguan LingRan finally couldn’t help it and reached out to touch Zi You’s cheek.

Once he touched her, they felt a current pass through their bodies. They involuntarily looked at each other again.

Shangguan LingRan’s eyes were as affectionate as water. His eyebrow slightly rose. Undisguised joy was in his eyes. His beautiful eyes were deep under the moonlight as clear as water, as if the person he was looking at was the world’s most precious, most cherished, and most fragile treasure.

Under such scrutiny, Zi You’s bashfulness was like floating ice in spring and melted little by little into a puddle. Her heart began to jump uncontrollably again.

Shangguan LingRan had a lot of things to say. It’s been two years, two months, and seven days. Only the heavens knew how much he missed her.

Before he had time to tell her his feelings, he was already in a fight. Then they travelled with an old-fashioned second martial brother between them. Now, no one would disturb them. He had to talk seriously to his YouYou about his feelings.

Shangguan LingRan turned to look at her jade-like face. He slightly smiled. “YouYou, do you know how happy I am that you’re back? I want to shout and tell the world that you are my wife. Do you know how much I thought about you when I was cultivating hard on Mount Emei? I made marks on a tree. I made one mark per day. Every time I made a mark, I wondered what YouYou was doing at the time and if you’re missing me.

“YouYou, did you miss me?”

His lazy voice contained a hint of acting spoiled and being doting. In this lonely night, it was like a plume of feathers scraping across from her cheek to the top of her heart. It wasn’t heavy or light, but was intimate like a lover’s actions.

Zi You turned numb from her head to her limbs. She blurted out, “Yes. You hateful man! You always unsettled me and made me unable to cultivate.”

How could she not miss him? Such an outstanding and handsome man was so good to her. He was so good that he could abandon everything for her!

Her starry eyes stared at him. Her limpid eyes held endless affection, which made Shangguan LingRan’s heart itch. He sat down next to her and tightly hugged her in his arms. “YouYou, you’re finally mine. It doesn’t matter who it is. No one can take you away from me!”

Zi You looked amused at him. Why did his overbearing and childish declaration made her heart feel as if it was soaked in honey, which would disappear in sweet water at any time?

Shangguan LingRan looked at her bashful face. Under the cool moonlight, she was like the bright moon shining on his heart. His devilishly charming eyes narrowed. A sweet smile appeared on his jade-like face. His large hand held her small hand tightly. The soft feeling in his hand told him that everything today was real. His YouYou was back.

He looked at the moonlight outside the horse carriage’s window like he was looking at his and Zi You’s future. The horse carriage’s every movement made him very excited and looking forward to the future.

Shangguan LingRan hugged her from behind. His delicate chin gently rubbed the top of her head. He smelled the scent exuding from her hair and took a deep breath. His lazy voice contained deep possessiveness. “YouYou, if I can, I really want to take you home right now, so that other people can’t covet you.”

The smile on Zi You’s face slowly turned cold. When she returned to the capital, there were really a lot of things waiting for her to do.

Firstly, she had to take care of Zhao HongXiang. That scum was actually not tortured to death by his drug addiction.

Shangguan LingRan had told her that the b*stard was suffering for a while like she had said.

But Darong Ka had found a way to cure him. Now, Zhao HongXiang had hooked up with Yu Lanxuan. He had listened to Nee Chen and Yu Lanxuan’s instigation and wanted to dissolve the engagement when Old General Mu had suggested it to Duke Yongnan.

Duke Yongnan had refused, however. “There is no news that You’er is dead. How can we dissolve the engagement now? Won’t we be scolded as being heartless?”

People already gossiped that the engagement was them taking advantage of Zi You. If they dissolved the engagement now, they would be scolded even more. How could there be a girl from a good family willing to marry Zhao HongXiang then? And who would want to have dealings with someone who was so selfish?

Nee Chen and Zhao HongXiang didn’t understand. They gave up since Duke Yongnan refused. Nee Chen also felt that Yu Lanxuan had the aura from a small family and couldn’t be seen in public. She wasn’t worthy to be the mistress of Duke Yongnan fu.

And there was still Wang Yiping. After Old General Mu was severely ill because of Zi You, then Mu YingYi became ill. After he recovered, Nee Liu was ill from exhaustion.

There was no other choice. There were no other female masters at home. In addition, Wang Yiping had used her blood to copy scriptures to pray for Old General Mu. Old General Mu saw that Nee Liu was ill and left her in charge of the house temporarily.

This woman was absolutely treacherous. Her two legs were originally completely wasted. Somehow, one of her legs was healed. Now, although the other leg was lame, she could walk with the help of crutches.

And Mu YingRui was demoted because of her, so he hadn’t seen her for a period of time. But he had been gradually coaxed by her. In addition, he saw that one of her legs was lame, so he was extra tender towards her. He had reconciled with her again. And now this woman was six months pregnant.

And there was Taizi. He had been in the limelight lately. Since such a thing happened on his and Liu Ruixue’s wedding night, that man began to coax Liu Ruixue and was particularly loving towards her.

The Empress was dissatisfied and often made things difficult for Liu Ruixue. Taizi had protected her and even quarreled with the Empress.

The thing that made Liu Ruixue touched was that Taizi was actually there at Duke Anguo’s 45th birthday party. He had even addressed Duke Anguo his father-in-law.

As such, news of Taizi favoring the concubine and neglecting the wife spread. Liu Ruixue was very touched. Even Duke Anguo who had not expressed his position before had stepped out in support for Taizi.

As a result, Duke Anguo furen had persuaded Nee Liu to persuade Mu YingYi to place people from Taizi’s camp in the army of the five cities.

Nee Liu was then reprimanded by Mu YingYi. They had quarreled and Mu YingYi was angry and slept in the study. As a result, Nee Liu’s first-rank maidservant Yueluo schemed to climb onto the bed. She had drugged Mu YingYi and he had accepted Yueluo as a tongfang yatou.

Nee Liu was doubly betrayed by her husband and confidant maidservant and became severely ill again.

Zi You immediately suspected that this was done by Wang Yiping. Zi You didn’t believe that a demon would really become a Buddha.

“YouYou……” Shangguan LingRan saw that Zi You was distracted and his face turned cold. Her deep and bright large eyes weren’t looking at him anymore. He immediately protested in dissatisfaction. “You’re not allowed to think of other people or other things now. You can only think about me.”
