The desert prison on the rocky island of Colorado, ADX, is considered to be the world’s most guarded jail where no one can escape from.

In the silence of the night, the wind mixed with dust blowing over and over again, the temperature in the desert had reached minus five degrees.

No one saw that in the dark moonlight, wearing white tights, a girl deftly climbed up 3.28 meters of wire to quietly slip into this prison called “Sin Prison”.

The girl was named He Xi, she was merely nineteen years old but had already become the fearless gold medal assassin of the dark world.

If she deployed one drop of poison she could destroy a whole city; If she flipped her silver needles she can revive the dead and restore flesh to bones.

She was an impenetrable defense in ordinary people’s eyes, however she had a little trouble with this level.

An hour later He Xi passed through the lasers on the wall that seemed like a knitted net finally arriving in front of unremarkable prison door.

“He Xi, you really came to save me!” The prison door opened and a young handsome man looking pleasantly surprised rushed out to hold her.

She could feel the mans slightly trembling body and tightly embraced him. He Xi’s chilled heart held a trace of softness.

Experience from childhood had made He Xi’s nature become firm, persistent and icily arrogant, but only this man – Leng Ye, was different to her.

The two had become partners in the organization and trained together, completed missions together, helping each other through mountains of daggers and seas of flames. They are not lovers but their friendship is more profound than love.

He Xi hugged him gently and softly said: “We are partners, if you are in danger how can I not come to save you?”

“He Xi, He Xi!” Leng Ye’s hoarse voice was trembling, he was holding her hands but couldn’t relax, “I really want to be with you in this lifetime, unfortunately…”

He Xi wanted to ask unfortunately what, when she felt a sharp pain come from her abdomen.

She suddenly pushed Leng Ye away and staggered back a few steps, shocked at the knife she could see inserted into her abdomen, she looked back at Leng Ye: “Why…..”

Under the dim light Leng Ye’s complexion become sinister, from his mouth emerged a crazy laugh: “He Xi I blame you….blame you for not willing to be loved by me, refusing to accept me as your man….since I can’t have you, it would be better to follow the organization’s order to kill you!”

He Xi’s body was shaking, looking into the man’s eyes she saw that they were filled with pain and anger.

She didn’t love Leng Ye and had rejected his proposal, in her eyes Leng Ye was just a brother, the best partner. However was their companionship all false? Don’t love, so must obliterate.

And why did the organization want to get rid of her?

He Xi could feel the wound spreading open, making her limp and numb with a feeling of suffocation, this dagger had been smeared with poison! This is the blood sealing throat poison!

“The organization…why do they want to kill me?” From He Xi’s forehead beads of sweat formed, making her pale face become more beautiful, “I never thought I did anything unworthy to the organization, in the end why?….”

“Blame that your life isn’t good!” Leng Ye stepped forward, extending his hand gently he hooked his fingers under He Xi’s lower jaw, at this moment He Xi gave him the illusion of being beautiful and gentle, making his coveting heart begin to stir, “Shen Master predicted you have the power to curse, one day bringing disaster for the organization, even destroying the world. The organization gave you three or four chances to let you contribute this mysterious power but you refused to give in, humph humph, how would the organization allow you to live?”

He Xi’s body was shaking, her whole body felt as if it was numb.

Just because of a prophecy from God they wanted to kill her!

And Leng Ye kept on saying that he loved her. How many times had she saved him in their missions? And this is his payback, cruelly sending her to her death.

In this world sure enough besides oneself, one must not believe in anyone!

He Xi suddenly pushed away Leng Ye and laughed crazily: “Because you all feared me destroying the organization and the world you want to kill me? In that case you all open your dogeyes wide to take a good look at what kind of disaster my death will bring about to the organization!”

Her voice faded and He Xi suddenly pulled out the dagger in her abdomen, fiercely stabbing it into her heart.

Leng Ye was shocked by her action but thinking that she was only committing suicide sighed: “Humph, He Xi you always were unable to differentiate good from bad, if you had obeyed me earlier…”

Leng Ye’s words were not yet finished when suddenly an ear ringing sound burst forth followed by a violent explosion. Tightly grabbing hold of Leng Ye, He Xi felt a sharp pain as if her body was tearing apart. Her head and four limbs all split up in pieces till not even screams could come out, not ending until there was no life left in her.

“Rumble—!!” The whole prison’s base loudly collapsed into dust due to the ear-splitting explosion sound.

No one knew that within He Xi’s body there was a space. Her body was the carrier of this space and once He Xi died, the space exploded ten kilometers all around.

At the same time, He Xi’s space stored her handmade poison “Allure”. So when the explosion occurred it quietly mingled in the air, spreading out into the world.

The so-called “Allure”, just one drop can immediately destroy all living things, this is the real curse and destruction from the prophecy!

Space tore, galaxies reversed.

Here in Yan Jing City, a most famous and outstanding place is located, ‘Gluttonous House’. All kinds of sensual pleasures were vividly and thoroughly displayed.

Inside a golden cage, there was a thin and weak little girl. She trembled in fear as she was surrounded by men, who gazed at her with lecherous eyes.

“I had heard that this is a good quality furnace[1], but the appearance is a bit unpleasant to the eyes.”

The little girl in the cage had pale skin, a thin figure, and unresponsive, gloomy eyes. She could be considered to be a very plain girl.

A hand roughly extended into the cage, pulling the little girl’s hair, and forcing her to expose her face.

Uttering a pained scream, the little girl wailed as she sucked air in between her teeth, “Who are you? Why have you imprisoned me in this cage?”

The men heard what was said and burst into loud laughter, “Her voice is at least pleasant to hear, if she were shouting on a bed it could certainly melt the soul~.”

Among the surrounding people, a tyrannical looking man with a scar on his face, suddenly bent down and pulled the little girl over. This man didn't have any tender feelings for the fairer sex and harshly tore her clothes. His rough hands ruthlessly pinched her exposed, tender skin.

“Tsk tsk, though this body is a bit ugly, it actually has such soft skin and tender flesh. This father likes it!”

Another person laughed, “Old Jiang, you already have a lot of furnaces at home, don’t rob us of the chance to have one.”

“That’s right! The initial price is only one thousand yuan, I would like to raise the bid to one thousand five....”

The little girl’s eyes filled with fear. These men were gazing at her as if they were appraising an item\, their actions were full of **** and roughness.

She screamed as loud as she could, “I’m a Miss from Nalan Manor, not a slave, quickly release me!”

The men on the scene quieted at first, before bursting into loud laughter.

“This shameless slave actually dares to say she is a Miss from Nalan Manor. Every daughter from Doctor Nalan is elegant and refined, they also have awe-inspiring innate talent. Don’t say that you, this lowly slave with an ugly appearance, trash with blocked meridians, actually dares to pretend to be a Miss from Nalan Manor. Don’t make me laugh!”

Someone pulled her hair to lift her up, laughing while tearing her remaining clothes, “Let me examine her first to see whether or not she is a jade annulus[2], then we can decide her price. She could be a broken-flower, withered-willow[3]. No matter what we do to her we’ll still be spending a lot of money to buy her, so either way it’s a profit for Gluttonous House.”

Once again everyone laughed, no one questioning the man’s actions.

At Gluttonous House they auctioned everything that one could think of. However, while there were premium products, they could actually end up being worthless trash.

Those premium products must naturally be looked after carefully. While the ‘trash’ that isn't up to auctions standards, if the guests find it interesting, they can feel free to look at it. If it’s bumped into or broken though, they will have to compensate with money.

“Don't touch me! Don't touch me! I really am a Miss from Nalan Manor!!”

The little girl’s eyes filled with desperate tears, but no matter how much she struggled and yelled, these beasts were still going to publicly humiliate her.

Her outer clothes were shredded and her skirt was pulled, revealing some of the little girl’s pale skin.

Her ears filled with the sound of the men’s cruel, lust-filled demonic laughter, seeming like the fierce fangs of a beast. The little girl’s faith and self-respect were totally destroyed.

The golden cage imprisoned her, giving her nowhere to escape to.

Instead of being humiliated or sold as a slave, she would rather die!

“Ah ah ah——-!!” Suddenly, the little girl rammed her head into the iron lock of the cage.

Blood splattered everywhere, the clanking of the iron lock echoing in the ensuing silence.

[1]Furnace — Essentially a bed warmer for lewd acts.

[2]Jade Annulus — Untouched, virgin.

[3]Broken Flower, Withered Willow — Fallen woman, no longer a virgin.

There’s a split second of silence in the room, everyone was stunned by the immediate scene.

“She…did she die?” Someone opened the cage and dragged her out to probe her breath.

“Smelly girl, refusing our goodwill only to forfeit her life, it’s really bad luck!” One of them ruthlessly kicked the little girl’s body, unhappily spitting out a mouthful of saliva, “What a pity, there was only this furnace today, ruined I, your father’s good mood!”

Old Jiang squatted on the ground, touching the little girl’s smooth skin to measure the softness, “Even though she can’t match equally as a furnace like this, this body’s soft skin peeled off to make a human skin drum would also be good.…”

His statement was not yet finished when Old Jiang’s hand on the little girl’s body suddenly froze.

His pair of muddy eyes came into contact with a pair pitch black phoenix eyes.

“She….she didn’t die!” Someone exclaimed.

The next moment everyone heard Old Jiang utter a miserable howl: “Ah Ah—-!! My Hand! My hand—-!!”

It appeared that Old Jiang’s hand that had originally been caressing the little girl’s hand was now limp as below his elbow it was flexible as if it there weren’t any bones. It was actually…..all the bones were actually crushed!

Everyone stiffened in place for a moment, looking stunned at the partly clothed little girl as she slowly stood up.

Obviously just a moment ago the weak and crying slave was shivering in the cage, but now she is like an Asura that had stepped out from hell.

The blood on her forehead flowing down was similar to a red poppy in full bloom.

Gloom cold energy filled the air, while a dense mist diffused inside the room, as if a Death God waved down a sickle, make people instinctually tremble in fear.

“You….who are you?”

The speaker barely finished when a cold blade suddenly flashed through the air. As soon as a‘ka la’sounded, there was a person’s neck that had been cut, his eyes wide open, cutting off his breath.

“Don’t….don’t you come—-!”

“Quick, call the Gluttonous House’s guards!”

The examination room of the auction products was in a great mess. People were running away frantically, forgetting that they themselves were first rank Qi Refiners of the martial artist. They had also forgotten the fact that a moment ago, that the slave who had timidly trembled inside the cage was their responsibility and that they had bullied and humiliated her.

However, is there anyone who can escape from the Death God’s sickle?

No one!

Everyone felt a burst of piercing cold wind sweep past them and with not enough time to react, suddenly there came an intense pain in their neck and in the blink of an eye they all lost consciousness.

Ten breaths, merely just ten short breaths, and the room had noiselessly filled with dead people.

The little girl’s bare feet stepped amongst the dead bodies, with an icy expression and gloomy eyes she whispered: “You’re all a thousand years too early to harm me as I, He Xi, live once more.”

****

Inside Gluttonous House of the Yan Jing City there was a weak and pitiful slave who had been bullied and humiliated until she died. When she once again opened her eyes she had already become the gold medal assassin of the 21st century – He Xi.

The moment He Xi had crossed over she had gotten the former’s memories.

The former owner of this body was called Nalan He Xi, coincidentally they had had the same name.

However, the former’s life was very different from He Xi. Nalan He Xi was born in the kingdom that respected martial force and cultivation base, the Jin Ling Kingdom. Her father is the world famous doctor, but she was the trash crippled without spiritual root[1]. Not mentioning cultivation techniques, she didn’t even have any innate medical talent.

Nalan He Xi’s birth mother died after giving birth to her, and when she was a child her step mother assigned her to live in a separate shabby courtyard to perish on her own. The evil slaves in the separated courtyard saw that she had no authority or power, and that she was regarded as trash, thus they would endlessly bully her. They would deduct her food and clothes expenses for themselves, and often abuse her as if she were inferior to the slaves!

But even after being treated like this, people in the Nalan Family still wouldn’t let her off.

[1] Spiritual Root(灵根 línggēn) – the root of life. Figuratively: the very foundation of one’s body and soul. Cultivation usually requires some minimum level of innate talent, so someone with bad luck or a poor bodily constitution may find it impossible to even take the first step. In some novels, the quality of a person’s Spiritual Root can be tested to determine if they have the talent needed to cultivate. Rare individuals may even have special Spiritual Roots which allow them to cultivate quickly or grant them other benefits.
