Yan Jinyi had been resurrected.
In order to wait for an empty slot in the resurrection quota, she had queued up in the underworld for 500 years.
It couldn't be helped. At that time, the battle was intense. As the leader of the bandits who advocated unity and was kind and loyal, how could she see her brothers die a horrible death?
All of a sudden, she couldn't control herself and... killed all the enemies.
Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have to queue up for such a long time.
Yan Jinyi lay straight on the large and spacious bed, keeping her eyes fixed on the ceiling. If not for the fact that her chest was heaving up and down, others would probably think that she was dead.
All of a sudden, a palm was swung at her face without warning, immediately leaving a handprint on her fair face.
"Still pretending to be dead, eh? B*tch, how dare you seduce my fiancé? I must beat you up and kill you today!"
The hot, stinging pain in her face made Yan Jinyi shudder before she snapped back to her senses immediately.
She focused her vision and saw the haughty and domineering woman standing in front of her.
The makeup on her face was very heavy and she looked just like a ghost from Hell. She was dressed skimpily and all her limbs were exposed.
At this moment, the woman was about to slap her again but Yan Jinyi reacted quickly as she turned over and sprung up, kicking the woman with all her might and causing her to fly.
"Where did this shrew come from? How dare you hit me?"
While speaking, she looked around and was suddenly stunned. 'Where in hell is this?'
There were a lot of men and women dressed in strange clothing surrounding her in the house. All of them were either surprised or gloating at her.
In addition, there were also many bizarre-looking things on display around. They were black and illuminated.
Although those things were strange to her, she felt a sense of familiarity.
She remembered that the employees of the underworld told her that the world that she was going to be resurrected in would be different from the world she was from. They allowed her to possess someone else's body because they were scared that she could not get used to it.
Hence...
Yan Jinyi was still digesting the memory in her head, but the woman she kicked away just now had already charged towards her aggressively and was about to slap her. Yan Jinyi's eyelids twitched and she reached out to drag the woman by her arm. With raised brows, she questioned indifferently, "Do you have a death wish?"
Cheng Ruoxue would have never expected that the weakling Yan Jinyi would suddenly behave like a completely different person. Not only did she kick her, she even threatened her. Overwhelmed with pique, she barked, "Yan Jinyi, you're the one who has a death wish. Director Li, you must chase this little b*tch out of set today. Otherwise, I won't go on with the shoot!"
The surrounding people began talking and comforting Cheng Ruoxue.
Yan Jinyi pinched the spot in the middle of her forehead. She suddenly recalled that she was... a celebrity now.
The set was similar to the opera houses of her era.
She was the leader of the Black Cloud Fortress, whose name would make others shudder in fear. Yet, she actually became a lowly actress who was a pushover that others would trample all over. Outrageous!
'However, isn't the original owner of this body already married?'
'Her husband is wealthy but she ended up in such a pathetic state.'
'Yeah, it seems that she isn't likable and her husband's family doesn't acknowledge her.'
She quickly filtered all the memories of the original owner before looking up at the person in front of her. "Are you Cheng Ruoxue?"
Cheng Ruoxue, who was still threatening the director, was immediately stunned and a look of puzzlement appeared in her menacing eyes after hearing those words.
"Are you crazy? Don't you know who I am?"
"I'm not crazy." She paused and continued with a solemn expression, "You are."
Cheng Ruoxue's face was suddenly twisted and she threatened, "Director Li, I don't care how suitable she is for this role. As long as Yan Jinyi is part of the cast, I will never return to set again."
Director Li looked extremely conflicted and he seemed to have been put in a spot. Yan Jinyi was recommended to him by a friend. He admired her for her talent and good acting chops but now...
Cheng Ruoxue raised her chin a little and said arrogantly, "What's the matter? Director Li, do you dare to offend Third Young Master Huo too? Fine, I'll call Third Young Master now."
Upon hearing that Cheng Ruoxue was going to call Third Young Master Huo, Director Li immediately smiled deferentially and said, "Ruoxue, it's just a trivial matter. Why do you have to alarm Third Young Master?"
Third Young Master Huo was the investor of the drama series that they were starring in and Cheng Ruoxue was his girlfriend. If she were to complain to him...
After hesitating for a while, Director Li looked at Yan Jinyi awkwardly and said, "Well Jinyi, after all, you were the one who kicked Ruoxue in the first place. Hurry and apologize to Ruoxue. I believe Ruoxue won't hold it against you."
She knew clearly whether or not the detestable Cheng Ruoxue would hold it against her, but since Cheng Ruoxue had slapped her, Yan Jinyi was bent on holding it against her!
"Why should I apologize?"
Not expecting that answer from Yan Jinyi, who was usually obedient, Director Li said in surprise, "Jinyi, after all, Ruoxue..."
To their surprise, Cheng Ruoxue suddenly zoomed past them like a gust of wind and yelled coquettishly, "Third Young Master, there's a D-list celebrity who bullied me and kicked me when we were filming. My stomach hurts so badly now. Third Young Master~"
As soon as the crew saw Third Young Master Huo, they took a step back one after another and secretly felt scared for Yan Jinyi, especially after hearing Cheng Ruoxue's words.
They thought, 'It's over for Yan Jinyi today. Everyone knows how vengeful this malicious and sharp-tongued Third Young Master Huo is. He's also very protective.'
No matter how long he would stay interested in Cheng Ruoxue for, she was at least still his girlfriend.
'Third Young Master Huo Zihang?'
Yan Jinyi quickly found the information about this prestigious Third Young Master and at the thought of his relationship with the original owner, she couldn't help but curse.
Huo Zihang happened to be near the studio when he received a call from Cheng Ruoxue's manager, so he decided to drop by and take a look.
Cheng Ruoxue was rather noisy and talkative but no matter what, she was still currently his girlfriend. Those who bullied her would be offending him.
Upon hearing her words, Huo Zihang's face turned hostile and he asked, "Who bullied you?"
Cheng Ruoxue looked even more aggrieved as she pointed at Yan Jinyi and said sobbingly, "We were supposed to film the scene of me thrashing things out with the home wrecker and slapping her is a mandatory scene. Besides, I only touched her face gently but she kicked me!"
While mentioning this, Cheng Ruoxue tried her best to force some tears and pointed at the shoe print on her shirt. "Third Young Master, you gave me this dress and I specially wore it to set for this scene. Third Young Master, this woman has always been unfriendly to me. Today, she even..."
Yan Jinyi lifted her eyelids and looked at Cheng Ruoxue coldly.
She looked decent but she had a vicious heart.
'Gently touched my face?'
'Where did the handprint on my face come from?'
He had some recollection of the dress that Cheng Ruoxue was wearing. Huo Zihang looked up and gazed at Yan Jinyi coolly.
'She's beautiful!'
'Eh?'
'Why does this woman seem a little familiar?'
While he was feeling a little confused, Cheng Ruoxue began adding fuel to the fire. "Third Young Master, putting aside what that woman did to me, she's very disrespectful to you too. Director Li wanted her to apologize to me on your account but she actually refuted."
'Oh?'
Huo Zihang could not be bothered to figure out why she seemed so familiar.
All members of the Huo Family had their personal bodyguards. Knowing that Huo Zihang was definitely going to get physical, Cheng Ruoxue looked at Yan Jinyi gloatingly, feeling extremely triumphant.
'See, Third Young Master still cares about me after all.'
Huo Zihang waved his hands and the two tall and burly bodyguards behind him had already begun walking towards Yan Jinyi.
The people in the room quickly turned away as they were afraid of witnessing a bloodbath. In the end, Yan Jinyi did not scream at all, even after a long time. Instead...
Yan Jinyi picked up the broom without hesitation and swung it at Huo Zihang's body.
No one expected Yan Jinyi to have the guts to hit Huo Zihang, including Huo Zihang himself. Hence, he only recovered from the shock and realized what was going on when the broomstick landed on his body.
The burning pain spread throughout his entire body, causing him to jump on the spot and yell, "How dare you hit me? You're tired of living, aren't you?"
Huo Zihang was completely enraged and he had already clenched his fists, all ready to attack. However, before he could even touch Yan Jinyi, she grabbed him backhandedly and easily restrained him.
"You, you, how dare you hit the Third Young Master of the Huo Family..."
Unable to move at all, Huo Zihang felt humiliated and infuriated to the point that his handsome face had turned red.
The others were petrified and stood still, especially Cheng Ruoxue who was the nearest to the two of them. She managed to witness the entire scene up close and the sound of the broom falling on the body of Third Young Master Huo was still echoing in her ears.
"When I was a bandit, you were still nowhere to be found. You're showing off those pathetic skills of yours. Don't you find it embarrassing at all? All you do is bully others, eh? I even dare to hit the emperor, why would I be afraid of you? Since I'm back, I'll teach you a lesson on your brother's behalf!"
Huo Zihang, who was initially eager to rip Yan Jinyi into shreds, was suddenly stunned.
'On my brother's behalf?'
'My brother?'
'Wait, this woman is...Yan Jinyi?'
Damn it!
'I was just wondering why she seems so familiar. This woman is my Second Sister-in-law who almost has zero presence in the Huo Family. Since when did Yan Jin Yi become so beautiful and so good at combat?'
While Huo Zihang was still overwhelmed with astonishment, the people around them had already begun hiding because Yan Jinyi had hit Huo Zihang, and they were afraid that they would get implicated even though they were innocent.
'She's out of her mind, Yan Jinyi is out of her mind. She actually dares to hit Third Young Master Huo!'
"Get in the car."
Yan Jinyi sternly reprimanded before pulling open the car door and getting inside, ignoring Cheng Ruoxue and the others who were shuddering while looking at her.
'I'll teach these nobodies a lesson next time.'
Still taken aback by her domineering aura, Huo Zihang followed her into the car.
Huo Zihang was still dumbfounded but Yan Jinyi had already secretly begun sizing up the luxury car.
'So this is the unique mode of transport in this world!'
'Not bad, not bad, it's indeed faster than the transport in the world I came from.'
In fact, she was also a bit shocked.
To think that she had been an overbearing tyrant for 20 years in her past life and despite being a bandit, she still had countless suitors. Yet, in this world, she was already married and had become someone else's wife.
Looking at Huo Zihang from the corner of her eye, Yan Jinyi sighed a little.
However, she cherished her life very much because she had queued up for 500 years for the chance to be resurrected!
Spoiled heirs like Huo Zihang would end up squandering away all of the Huo Family's assets sooner or later.
At the very least, she was still the Second Young Mistress of the Huo Family, and for the sake of her future luxurious and carefree life, she had to keep an eye on him.
When the car drove into a large mansion, Huo Zihang abruptly snapped back to his senses and realized that he had been hit.
He had been hit.
For the first time in 27 years of his life, Huo Zihang was hit by a woman!
Damn it!
"Yan Jinyi, you think you can act in Second Brother's name and throw your weight around in the Huo Family just because Second Brother isn't around? Let me tell you, that's impossible. Even if Second Brother is not around, you're in no place to call the shots in the Huo Family. Hurry up and kowtow thrice to apologize to me!"
'It takes him quite long to react.'
Yan Jinyi smiled contemptuously, ignoring Huo Zihang and pushing open the car door to get out.
Huo Zihang was even more infuriated when he saw her attitude. However, as soon as he spoke, he saw Yan Jinyi pulling out the branches that were used to hold the vines in place.
Thinking about the fact that he had been hit by the broom just now, he still felt some pain.
"You want me to apologize, right?"
Yan Jinyi casually knocked the tree branch against the tree, raising one of her eyebrows lightly with a nonchalant smile. There was a tinge of mischief in her voice.
Huo Zihang secretly swallowed some saliva and shivered, immediately feeling timid.
