Chapter 155: Soul from Another World
The room where Cai Ling lives is the best one in Zhaiyue Tower.
Not only is this place spacious with windows and doors, but the house is also fully equipped with all the necessary items. However, when Cai Ling saw so many people appear, she was still a little scared.
Back then, she and Wei Muyu agreed to elope together, and she gave all the money she had earned over the years to the brothel owner, hoping to redeem herself. However, the brothel owner asked her to serve her last customer before she could leave.
The man gave the madam one thousand taels of gold and wanted to take Cai Ling away. One thousand taels of gold was a good thing that he could never dream of.
Although Cai Ling was the most beautiful courtesan, her worth was only one thousand two taels of silver. Although she was pursued by many men, she was just a prostitute after all, and no one was willing to redeem her.
Cai Ling believed it to be true, and in order to completely escape from the devil's den, she agreed to the madam's request.
But she didn't know that this agreement would directly ruin her future.
As soon as she entered the house, she was drugged and passed out, losing consciousness. When she woke up, she had already arrived at the Zhaiyue Tower.
She thought of many ways to escape, but when she was tortured to death, she remembered that there was someone waiting for her outside, and she had not had time to live her life well.
"I don't want to die... and I can't die."
In order to survive, she gave up many of her insistence and used all the methods she had learned in the brothel, just hoping to escape from here one day.
When she saw the person coming in front of her, she thought she finally had a chance to leave here.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for her was another cage.
After everyone was arranged, a eunuch with a sharp voice said:
"His Majesty has issued an order to make you a beauty. You can stay in the harem from now on. This is your blessing. Please accept the order."
Cai Ling didn't feel happy at all, and even felt anger surging in her heart. Why, why did she have to stay here?
She had obviously tried her best to fight for it and the emperor had agreed to her request, so why did he change his mind at the last minute?
This is something Jiang Nianwei cannot change.
Cai Ling had only one request: "Can you please let me go out of the palace again?"
"Lady Ling, there is no need for that. It is a great blessing for you to stay in the palace. Good days are ahead."
Cai Ling's eyes were numb. Did she have any choice? From then on, she stayed in the palace and became Ling Meiren.
It was only a few days later that she had the opportunity to go out with Baili Jingyao.
After Tan Yangshuo confessed his guilt, Baili Jingyao uprooted the entire Wei family, beheading some and exiling some.
Wei Muyu once claimed to be a child of destiny, but now he has ended up in exile.
His mind was sometimes clear and sometimes confused. When he saw the former Wei Mansion being sealed and himself being escorted away, he finally understood the situation he was in. However, it was too late.
The Wei family has completely collapsed.
Faintly, he saw a familiar woman standing on the city wall. He shouted frantically, "Is that you? Are you Siya, or Cailing?"
He was eager to break free from the shackles around him, his feet seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, wanting to cross the sea of people and reach the woman's side. However, reality was like a cold iron chain, binding him tightly - the soldiers next to him reacted quickly and shouted: "You bold lunatic, how dare you try to escape here!"
The whip was like a snake, with a biting cold wind, lashing his back fiercely, each one leaving a glaring red mark, but it failed to break the persistence and faith in his heart. Wei Muyu gritted his teeth, staring at the figure on the city wall with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to engrave that figure deeply into the depths of his soul.
Finally, several soldiers rushed forward, punched and kicked him, and knocked him to the ground. Amidst the flying dust, he was no longer able to struggle and could only look at the unreachable sky with despair in his eyes.
"Wake up, Wei Muyu, you are no longer the powerful Lord Wei of the past. Now you are just a prisoner."
A sudden downpour, like a crack in the sky, poured down mercilessly, enveloping him in a hazy blood-red mist.
He stood still with his eyes closed, letting the rain interweave with bits of memory. Fragments of the past were like broken glass, flickering in his heart and then quickly disappearing.
Suddenly, the heavy rain on his face disappeared, and the noise around him could no longer be heard. He opened his eyes and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes holding an umbrella to block the rain for him. It seemed like a different world.
"Is it you? Siya, are you back to see me?"
However, after hearing these words, Cai Ling's figure involuntarily stiffened for a moment.
She originally thought that the persistence and waiting in her heart might still occupy a place in Wei Muyu's heart.
But at this moment, she finally understood that all this was just her wishful thinking.
However, she had already become indifferent to everything.
Since she was born, her life has been manipulated by others. From now on, she can completely forget Wei Muyu.
For the rest of her life, she lived only for herself.
Cai Ling took out the money bag and distributed it to several soldiers around her, "Please don't make things difficult for him."
She was sold into a brothel because of the Wei family. Now some of the Wei family members were killed or exiled. This was the last bit of affection she returned to him. From now on, they owed each other nothing.
……
modern world.
The things Jing Zhuo wanted were too expensive, and she simply didn't have that much money to buy them.
Xia Zhuo tried to go to the pawn shop to sell the things he had.
But this world is obviously different from the ancient times. Pawnshops can be found everywhere on the streets, but when she arrived here, she searched several streets but couldn't find one.
Xia Zhuo could only try to post a few messages online and take a few photos to see if there was anyone who knew the value of the goods and wanted to buy it, but to no avail.
Finally, in a live broadcast program, she tried to connect with the host and showed off these gold and silver jewelry.
The treasure appraiser had been broadcasting live for several hours, but had not seen any decent treasures. Until Xia Zhuo successfully connected, he did not have any expectations.
It wasn't until he saw the jade bracelet, earrings and gold hairpins in her hands that his eyes widened.
These things were obviously of very good quality, so he asked the other party: "Where did you get these things?"
Xia Zhuo naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he could only say: "These are all handed down from my ancestors. Can you help me see how much they are worth?"
The anchor said a number that she dared not even think about, and immediately after the live broadcast, the relevant person in charge sent her a private message.
Xia Zhuo had not expected that the world would develop so rapidly. Now even making a living requires live streaming.
She met with the anchor's assistant offline, and the assistant immediately said, "We are willing to buy these things for 1.5 million yuan. Are you satisfied?"
Xia Zhuo opened her mouth slightly in surprise and was stunned for a long time. It took her a long time to figure out the prices in this world.
These jewels were not uncommon in their dynasty, but they are so valuable here.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the assistant continued to raise the price: "If you are not satisfied with the price, we can still negotiate it. What do you think of two million? I believe that this price is no longer available in the market. It is because our anchor likes to collect this kind of jewelry that we are giving you a high price."
"Two million?" She felt that the price was about right, so she signed the contract and sold the jewelry.
The assistant smiled and said, "If you have any precious similar items in the future, you can sell them to us. We will definitely give you a high price."
Xia Zhuo felt that there would be many such transactions in the future, so he added the other party's contact information.
This world was too advanced, so advanced that she couldn't even imagine it. Only because she still retained the memories of her original body could she accept it all quickly.
After receiving two million, Xia Zhuo began to purchase several large generators as required. The price of these generators was much more expensive than she had imagined. A 1000kw diesel generator cost about yuan.
Since she had purchased the generator, she needed to buy diesel. She found a way to use the channels and bought several tons of diesel.
As a result, I only had a few tens of thousands of yuan left before I even bought the computer.
There was no other choice, Xia Zhuo could only randomly pick a high-configuration computer on the market, download some movies, e-books and the like and save them in it, and let the other party use it when the time comes.
Thinking that there were no electrical appliances in ancient times, I bought some miscellaneous small appliances such as electric lights, washing machines, projectors, rice cookers, etc.
Xia Zhuo rented a warehouse. She also thought about the full moon day, so on the next full moon day, she stayed in the warehouse after get off work, waiting for another self to appear.
Jing Zhuo finally welcomed another full moon day. She tried to close her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep because she was too excited.
I don’t know how many times I counted before I finally fell asleep.
After she opened her eyes and returned to her original world, she clenched her fists excitedly, "I wonder if she has prepared what I want."
The two met again, and Xia Zhuo pointed to several generators and said, "I have prepared these according to your wishes, but I don't have enough money to buy a better computer as you mentioned."
Jing Zhuo didn't know when she would be teleported back. She glanced at the computer and nodded, "It can be used barely."
The most important things are these large generators in front of us. With electricity, things will be much more convenient in the future.
She didn't expect that Xia Zhuo not only prepared a generator for her, but also bought a variety of small appliances.
When he saw the gasoline next to him, Jing Zhuo said excitedly: "These are all useful. Thank you for your careful preparation. And these things, please exchange them for money. I have written down the things that need to be exchanged on the paper."
Xia Zhuo opened the package and saw that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry. Last time, just a few items could sell for tens of millions. This package of stuff should be worth tens of millions!
Jing Zhuo continued, "In addition to buying the things I need, you can also buy a house to improve your life. The next time we meet, I will prepare more things for you in exchange for money."
After saying that, she touched the generator in front of her with her hand, and the generator was immediately transmitted to ancient times through her consciousness.
Jing Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief, and while there was still time, she started talking to her.
"Are you used to living in modern times?"
Xia Zhuo scratched his head: "I'm used to it."
Her life was very concise. Apart from being in the laboratory, she was at home. She only interacted with a few people and was focused on her research, so no one noticed that something was wrong with her.
"That's good. I thought you were gone. I'm really sorry for occupying your body."
"Same here." After all, they had swapped bodies.
But Xia Zhuo also noticed something strange. She found that her body had become much more bloated. "I remember that I wasn't that fat before?"
Jing Zhuo immediately felt guilty, "Actually, there is one thing I have always wanted to tell you. This body... is already pregnant."
When Xia Zhuo heard the news, he felt like the sky was falling.
"Haven't I always been dressed as a man? How did I get pregnant?"
Jing Zhuo sighed deeply: "This is a long story. It was an accident. And you don't have to worry. Your family already knows that you are a woman disguised as a man. Now I live with my mother, and she is taking care of me."
After Xia Zhuo knew about this, his expression changed from shock to excitement: "Thank you... and for helping me take good care of mother."
Before he could finish his words, the other person had disappeared.
After Jing Zhuo came back, he looked at the generator in the warehouse and began to get ready. With electricity, there would be earth-shaking changes here.
She also listed a lot of things on the list she gave to Xia Zhuo, which should make it much easier for her to give birth when the time comes.
Jing Zhuo touched her huge belly and could feel the baby inside her twisting and turning, which made her feel very magical and interesting.
Jing Xiangxue had been looking for Jing Zhuo everywhere, but found her in the warehouse. At the same time, she saw these new things she had never seen before, and a look of suspicion appeared on her face.
"Zhuo'er, these days, why do I always feel that you are mysterious and sneaky? Are you hiding something from me?"
Jing Zhuo was shocked, thinking that he would have to tell her about this sooner or later, so he might as well tell her now to avoid hiding it in the future.
She thought for a while before she said, "Mom, I want to tell you something..."
Jing Xiangxue suddenly interrupted her, "Forget it, I don't want to know."
Perhaps she had a premonition in her heart, because these days, she has always found that her child's habits have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Habits may change, but personality will also become completely different. She has been wondering whether the child in front of her is still her Zhuoer.
Now that Jing Zhuo really wanted to explain to her, she suddenly felt uneasy and didn't want to know the truth of the matter.
"Mom, don't evade me anymore. This matter will be known sooner or later. I will tell you everything now. Don't let this sudden truth shake your heart too much."
Jing Zhuo took a deep breath and said, "In fact, I am no longer your daughter. Although my body is still hers, my soul has become someone else's."
