"Brother, do you think she's really dead?"

"Yes. Father said that no breathe, no life."

"That's great! Then brother and I won't be sold."

Before Su Ying could open her eyes, she heard two young voices.

She struggled, pulled her eyelids open a slit, and saw two dirty and thin children. They were so thin, that the beautiful phoenix eyes on their tiny faces looked huge.

What was going on? Did she survive the explosion of her battleship?

While she was wondering, her head suddenly throbbed with pain. A memory that did not belong to her suddenly entered her mind.

Su Ying had never expected that the explosion of the battleship would force her into a space-time gap, allowing her spirit body to transmigrate to an alien country – Chu, in a parallel dimension.

And she was now on the road to exile.

Su Ying opened her eyes fully and saw the two children jumping and running away in fear.

"Waah! Save me, father! The evil woman has woken up again."

"Don't be afraid, sister. I'll protect you."

Su Ying was speechless.

In her memory, she learned that the original owner of the body, also named Su Ying, was the eldest daughter, born of the original wife of Chu's Prime Minister. She was raised by her stepmother into a fool over the years and was deceived by a scumbag man. As a result, her husband and twins were exiled to the northern wilderness.

On the road to exile, the silver that the body's original owner smuggled had been used up. The woman couldn't stand the hunger anymore and wanted to sell her two children for money. However, when she went to take the children, she was pushed down during the struggle. Her head hit the ground, and she died.

Su Ying spat on the ground and cursed in her heart: "Served her right."

Su Ying stood up. Whenever she was in an unfamiliar environment, she habitually observed the domain first. She was surrounded by exiled prisoners and a few bailiffs who were eating dried meat not far off.

The prisoners could only stare at the food. They only had one meal a day, and the dry food ration was so hard it was difficult to bite. Even so, a fist-sized piece was enough to make the hungry prisoners' eyes shine.

"Erh."

She felt a sharp pain in her head. She reached out and wiped the back of her head. Her palm was wet, but the bleeding had stopped. It was not a big issue for the time being.

The injuries she had endured on the battlefield in the past were much more severe than this. Su Ying didn't pay much attention. She tore a piece of cloth from her clothing and wrapped the wound up.

Su Ying saw the two children hiding under a big tree. A man lied there too. She could not tell if he was dead or alive.

She walked over, and the children trembled in fear at the sight of her. Their tiny faces were pale as they tightly clutched the man's sleeve.

"You… you evil woman. Don't come over." The elder son, Ji, showed extreme determination on his small, dirty face. His tiny body shielded in front of his sister, Ling. Even though he was petrified, he showed no intention of backing down.

The younger child Ling was so afraid that her voice choked: "Father… father, wake up quickly. The evil woman is going to harm us."

Scenes of how the body's original owner treated the two children harshly kept flashing through Su Ying's mind. The children should have grown up in luxury and ease, but they were treated inhumanely.

The body's original owner planned to sell the two children for two taels of silver. Where they were, one tael of silver could be exchanged for three days' worth of dry food ration from the bailiffs. In this circumstance, why would others want to exchange a few days' worths of food for two children?

Su Ying saw a man who was staring at her from not far away. The blood at the corner of his mouth was still visible. The child who had been with him two days ago was not seen.

Children were swapped and eaten.

She had been in a military camp during the apocalypse and was used to bloody and brutal fighting. But she did not expect to encounter such a situation here.

Su Ying looked at the fear and determination in the children's eyes and felt touched. They reminded her of herself when she was young and was thrown into the ruthless refinery.

"I won't sell you."

"You are lying! You said that before and then you almost sold my sister!

Su Ying suddenly remembered the scene: The day before yesterday when the body's original owner tricked her younger daughter into going under a tree with half a piece of dry food and was about to hand her over to a man.

Su Ying had had enough and couldn't even be bothered to despise the body host.

She looked down at the man on the ground. He was her cheap husband, Prince Qi of Chu, Xiao Jin.

His long hair was a mess, covering a pair of long brows, twisted into a deep frown. Without his eyes opening, Su Ying could imagine how deep his eyes were under those thin eyelids. His lips were tightly pursed under his tall nose, indicating he was in great pain.

Who would have thought that Prince Qi, who had great military exploits, would end up in such a wretched state?

Su Ying squatted down and realized that his legs were the most severely injured. They were a bloody mess, releasing a rotten smell from under his dirty and torn clothes.

She stretched her hand out and was about to check on his injuries but was grabbed tightly by two small hands.

It was the elder child, Ji.

"What are you going to do to father? Don't you dare touch father!"

The battle in the apocalypse required speed, which shaped her impatient temper. Her eyebrows twitched. But when she was met with tears in those big eyes, the fire in her heart was instantly extinguished.

"I wanted to check the injuries in his body. He will die if he is not treated in time."

Although the two children were young, they had experienced more than their peers. Along the road of exile, they gained a deep understanding of what death meant.

"I don't want father to die. Father can't die." Ling's sounded like she was crying.

"Don't cry. I won't let him die." Su Ying tried her best to sound gentle, but the children wouldn't believe her.

"It was all because of you, you evil woman. If it weren't for you, father wouldn't have been injured." Ling held back her tears. Her big eyes were full of accusations.

Su Ying blushed with shame. When Xiao Jin was seriously injured and lost consciousness on the battlefield, 'she' had taken advantage of that time to hide the false evidence slandering Xiao Jin for cooperation with the enemy in his study, where they were found right away. If not for that, Xiao Jin wouldn't have been wrongly imprisoned.

It was useless to think about those now. The most important thing at present was to deal with Xiao Jin's injuries. Otherwise, he would meet with ghosts soon.

Su Ying broke free from those tiny hands and started to check the wounds in Xiao Jin's legs.

The children stared at Su Ying warily in case she would do anything to harm their father.

Su Ying lifted the rag on Xiao Jin's legs and realized that the injuries were more severe than they looked. While the fatal wounds were in the legs, there were other damages of various sizes in his body.

When examining, Su Ying suddenly felt heat on her wrist. She looked down and found a wooden bangle with a strange totem suddenly appearing on her empty wrist. She widened her eyes in shock. Wasn't this her storage space?

In the post-apocalyptic world, a lot of resources were extremely scarce. Except for the strong development of medicine, food was mainly in short supply. Therefore, she would store necessary items in the storage space when she had nothing to do in preparation for an emergency. She did not expect that this thing would follow her into this world.

Su Ying looked around and walked behind a tree. Then she triggered the mechanism in her bracelet and entered the space.

A white light flashed, and the space appeared in front of her. There were all kinds of things on the neatly arranged shelves. She walked around the shelves and opened another door, which stored medical supplies.

She took out some medicine and gauze from a small drawer, came out, and took two pieces of compressed biscuits that looked like dry food ration from the shelf before leaving.

When she came out, she didn't see the two children. She didn't think much about it and first treated Xiao Jin's injuries.

Su Ying was about to make a move when she felt a murderous gaze on her. She raised her head warily and met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Those eyes were shining like stars. Despite his miserable condition, no one could ignore Xiao Jin's existence.

Su Ying frowned. This man was tough and commanding, with a strong aura.

His body was already like an arrow at the end of its flight, but he could still wake up without any treatment. What a terrifying willpower.

Xiao Jin was in so much pain that he couldn't feel anything. He glared at Su Ying coldly. If stares could kill, Su Ying would already be riddled with holes.

"Get lost!" His voice was hoarse, but it carried an undeniable aura.

Su Ying's hands paused for a moment as she looked at his broken body expressionlessly. "Your legs have started to rot. If you don't get rid of the rotten flesh, you'll die."

Xiao Jin remained unmoved. "Get lost. Don't make me say it a third time."

Su Ying snorted and knelt in front of him. "I'm a stubborn person too. I'd insist on doing whatever others don't let me."

After saying that, Su Ying didn't care if Xiao Jin's gaze would dismember her, picked up the scalpel, and shaved off the rotten flesh on Xiao Jin's legs. Bones were revealed in many places under treatment. She had to respect his toughness for holding on until now while his legs were so rotten.

Xiao Jin was so much pain that his back was drenched in sweat. He didn't even make a sound, only gritted his teeth and glared coldly at Su Ying. He wanted to see what other tricks this woman had up her sleeves.

After cleaning his legs, Su Ying took out some nutrient fluids and anti-inflammatory pills to feed him.

However, Xiao Jin gritted his teeth and refused to open up.

Su Ying had never been a patient person. "Why? Must I feed you mouth to mouth before you are willing to accept?"

"Little b*stard, how dare you steal dry rations? You are looking for death!"

"Ah!"

The tender and anguished cries drew Su Ying's attention.

She got up and looked over, only to find that a bailiff nearby raised his hand high and whipped the little kid on the ground.

"Ji! Ling!" Xiao Jin forced his heavily injured body to sit up from the ground. He looked at the little kid who was stepped in the dirt by the bailiff and killing intent burst out of his eyes.

Su Ying only noticed then that the two children had yet to appear. She looked at Xiao Jin, who was trying to get up from the ground and hurriedly pressed him back down.

"Don't move. Your legs have just been treated. If you move around, they will be injured again."

"Get lost!"

Su Ying staggered back a step from Xiao Jin's push.

With annoyance, she pulled off the cloth on his body and tied him to the tree root behind her. "Stay here obediently!" With that, she turned around and walked in the direction of the bailiff.

How dare you harm my child? You are looking for death!

"Where did this b*stard come from? How dare you steal my dried meat? Don't you know what sort of trash you are?"

The bailiff stepped on Ji's tiny face. The rough sole of his shoe was even bigger than the boy's face.

"Brother, brother! Please don't hit my brother. I beg you to stop… Ah!" Before Ling could finish her words, another bailiff kicked her to Ji's side.

That bailiff laughed wildly. "Then you can die with your brother, hahaha... Uh!"

The bailiff's unbridled laughter was stuck in his throat. In the blink of an eye, he met a pair of bright eyes. Those eyes flashed with a cold light, like an Asura demon that had crawled out of hell.

Su Ying's lips twitched, and she lifted her knee, slamming it into the bailiff's crotch.

"Waaaah!"

The bailiff screamed in pain, his body curling up like a shrimp, and fell to the ground.

Su Ying turned and glared at the bailiff stepping on Ling's face. She grabbed a branch from the ground and threw it over.

"Ah!"

The branch accurately pierced the bailiff's calf. He fell hard in pain.

Su Ying's face tensed up. She walked to the two children and shielded them behind her.

"Spat! Stinky b*tch, you're looking for death!"

The rest of the bailiffs surrounded Su Ying and whipped hard at her.

Su Ying's eyes darkened, and she grabbed a whip. With one strong pull, she forcefully snatched it.

"Let's see who is looking for death."

The long whip in Su Ying's hand lashed out and hit the bailiffs' bodies with force.

Her dress was already in tatters, her long hair flew in the cold wind, and her eyes were bloodthirsty. She stood in the wind like a demon.

The bailiffs were whipped to the ground again and again and did not dare to come forward. They looked at Su Ying with deep fear in their eyes.

The surrounding prisoners were all stunned by the scene in front of them. They were exiled prisoners. It was not exaggerating to say that their lives were in the hands of these bailiffs. Yet today, this woman dared to fight them. Did she not want to live anymore?

"You… How dare you hit the bailiffs! Do you want to die?" The leader of the bailiffs looked at Su Ying, who was walking towards him and retreated in fear.

Su Ying threw the whip at his face. "The northern wilderness is lawless and is a place of no return. I would die there, or I would die here. I do not mind taking you all with me! This is a warning today. If you dare to touch my family again, I'll send you on your way!"

The bailiffs did not doubt that Su Ying would do as she said. In Chu, exiled to the northern wilderness was equivalent to a death sentence. Judging by what just happened, they might not be her matches if she wanted them to die with her.

Hence, in the face of Su Ying's threat, the bailiffs didn't dare to make a sound.

Su Ying walked over to the two children and checked Ji's injuries. His back was full of whip wounds, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. He was lying on the ground like a ragdoll, lifeless.

Su Ying's chest was boiling with anger again. She should have crippled those b*stards' hands!

"Brother… How is big brother..." Ling chocked. She was protected by Ji earlier and only had light wounds, which were not a big problem.

Su Ying carefully checked Ji's condition. After making sure that he could move, she carried him. She did not forget to turn around to comfort Ling, who was still in shock.

"Don't cry. I'm here. Brother will be fine."

Ling sobbed. Tears covered her little face. She was only a child, not even four years old. Although Su Ying had done many terrible things to her in the past, the woman was now exuding kindness. This made the little girl trust her subconsciously.

"Ji!" Xiao Jin struggled to look at Ji, who was carried back by Su Ying.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his hands bound by Su Ying were already blood-red.

Su Ying glanced at him and twisted her brows. She said in a low voice: "Don't move. I can save the child, and I'll definitely make sure that he will be fine."

After saying that, she carefully placed Ji next to Xiao Jin and immediately untied the rope on Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin locked eyes tightly on Ji as he reached out to check his injuries.

When he touched Ji's injured little body, killing intent gushed out from his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly. He would surely tear the persons who hurt Ji into a thousand pieces!

"Father, brother… How is brother?" Ling looked at Ji, who was on the verge of death and cried so hard that his entire body trembled.

Xiao Jin could only hold up his body and embraced her for comfort. "It's okay. Brother will be fine."

When Su Ying came out from behind the tree, she had a small bag in her hands and opened it. It was filled with medicine for external injuries.

Xiao Jin's Black eyes darkened as he looked at the medicine, and his cold, scrutinizing eyes locked onto Su Ying.

Su Ying was the daughter of the Prime Minister and had been pampered by her stepmother since she was young. She was a typical noblewoman who didn't even dare to lift a chicken, let alone kill a person. However, her behavior just now was completely different from before.

Xiao Jin's cold eyes darkened – she had really hidden it well.

Su Ying didn't know what Xiao Jin was thinking. She used disinfectant to wash the child's wounds to prevent them from getting infected, which would be more troublesome to treat later.

The antiseptic solution did hurt, but Ji didn't react at all. Su Ying couldn't help but worry that the child had lost consciousness.

After quickly treating the wounds, she took out anti-inflammatory medicine and fed it to him. In this situation, the effect of infusion would be faster, but the conditions did not allow it, so she could only give orals.

They were supposed to hurry on their way. But the bailiffs were beaten up, and now they didn't move. Everyone rested on the spot tonight.

Su Ying gave Ji nutrition supplements to ensure his body was supplied with sufficient energy.

After doing all this, Su Ying was a little tired. This body was too weak. She was only able to defeat those officials with the assistance of the power of the Infinite Strength Bracelet in her space.

If it was in the past, she could kill those b*stards with one finger, with no need for additional tools at all.

Su Ying's eyes met Xiao Jin's cold and scrutinizing gaze. She raised her eyebrows. She had almost forgotten about him.

She took out Xiao Jin's medicine again and placed it in front of him. "This is your medicine. If you don't want to die, then be good and take it."

Xiao Jin's Black eyes narrowed. He looked at the black pill on the ground and didn't move.

"Why? Are you afraid I'll poison you? Why would I bother to treat your two crippled legs if I wanted your life? You can choose not to take medicine. But if you die, I will decide how to deal with your two children."

A cold and dark light flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes.

At this moment, a pair of tender hands reached out and put the medicine near Xiao Jin's mouth.

"Father, be good and take your medicine. You'll be fine after you take your medicine."

Xiao Jin returned to his senses and looked at his daughter's big tear-reddened eyes. He coldly glanced at Su Ying, opened his mouth, and swallowed the medicine.

He didn't want to reject his daughter and to see her disappointed look.

Xiao Jin's injuries were too severe after all. Following the medicine, he felt a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

"Father, father! What's wrong?" Ling was scared silly when he saw that Xiao Jin didn't move.

Su Ying went over to take a look. "Your father is just too weak and has fallen asleep. Let him sleep more. He will recover faster if he sleeps well.

Ling looked at Xiao Jin, then raised her head to look at Su Ying. When her eyes met Su Ying's, she shrank back to Xiao Jin's side in fear.

Su Ying took out a compressed biscuit and gave it to her. "You must be hungry. Eat this."

Ling's teary eyes trembled as she stared at the food in Su Ying's hand. She had not eaten anything since yesterday and was starving.

However, she didn't dare to eat Su Ying's food. "I'm not hungry!"

"If you were not hungry, why did you steal food with your brother?"

Ling stared with her big red eyes and said: "Brother said that daddy would get better after he was fed. But I, we didn't have any food..."

Su Ying's heart skipped a beat. "So you guys went to the bailiffs to get food for your father?"

Ling nodded dejectedly. They were not skilled and were discovered by the bailiffs when taking the food. Now, they had not gotten the food, and brother was hurt.

Su Ying took the girl to her side and placed food in her tiny hands.

"Don't worry. Your father will get better. Guess who I saw when I fainted just now?"

Ling did not dare to move when she was suddenly held by Su Ying. She looked very pitiful with her big, teary eyes.

Su Ying's expression didn't change as she continued, "Do you know the King of Hell? He said that I'd done a lot of bad things and wanted to take me to the netherworld. But you two are too young. If I leave, no one will take care of you. So he let me go and asked me to take good care of you. He also warned me not to do bad things again, or he'll take me away."

Ling was stunned. "Will the King of Hell take you away if you do something bad?"

Su Ying nodded firmly. "That's right, so you don't have to worry that I'll sell you off. Just eat this food in peace."

Ling felt that the King of Hell's words could be trusted and did not reject Su Ying anymore. She held the food in her tiny hands and ate it in small bites like a hamster.

Su Ying was afraid that she would choke, so she took out a water sack from her interspace.

Ling also felt sleepy after eating and drinking to her heart's content. She curled her little body into a small ball, leaned against Xiao Jin, and closed her eyes.

Su Ying was also very sleepy but couldn't sleep because she was surrounded by evils, particularly since she had just taught the bailiffs a lesson. These people would definitely not let her off so easily.

It was autumn, and when night fell, the air was cold.

Su Ying took out heating pads from her interspace and placed them on the three. These were infrared heating pads the size of a fingernail. They wouldn't be noticed without special attention.

Once the heating pads were placed, they could keep the human body at a comfortable temperature for over a dozen hours.

After Su Ying put on the heat pack, she instantly felt much warmer.

It was time to distribute dry food rations, but there was no movement from the bailiffs.

The hungry prisoners rushed all around toward the bailiffs.

"No! No! There's no dry food ration today. If you want to eat, ask that woman. She's so powerful, and she surely has food for you."

The bailiffs were taught a lesson by Su Ying today. These criminals would turn the tables if they didn't find a way to get back at her.

Hence, they decided not to distribute any rations this evening. They would let the criminals find trouble with Su Ying and let her know the consequences of offending them.

The black shadow blocked the light from the descending sun in front of Su Ying. She lifted her head and saw three burly men come near.

"It is all your fault, you b*tch. You're the reason we don't have any rations to eat. Hand over those two little brats, or I'll make you suffer."

The burly man was filthy. Under his messy eyebrows were a pair of bull's eyes the size of copper bells. At this moment, he was glaring at her angrily.

Su Ying remembered that this was the person who wanted to buy the two children.

"If you don't have any rationed food, you should go to the bailiffs. Why do you bother me?" Su Ying's eyes were cold.

"Spat! B*tch, I have nothing to eat, so I'll eat you!"

The three had ferocious looks on their faces, and they pounced on Su Ying like ravenous hyenas.
