Kapow!

A loud noise shook the sky and the ground. Chaos ensued.

Xia Xibei smiled bitterly before she even opened her eyes.

—She had failed again!

In the next moment, the strange sensations in her body compelled her to open her eyes, her gaze sharp.

The sloppy, dirty, and stinking man in front of her the man in front of her didn’t notice the shift in mood. Instead, he grinned and flashed his yellow teeth while stroking her body.

Xia Xibei moved quicker than her thoughts. She seized the man's hand and yanked it away.

"Ow!"

His yelp pierced the air, startling all the stray dogs and cats rummaging through trash for scraps.

"Let... me go!" he pleaded, attempting to break free from her grip.

But in an instant, he screamed as Xia Xibei delivered a sharp kick to his lower body, his eyes wide with pain.

In her first life, she was reborn into a fantastical world, retaining her memories and eventually becoming a renowned doctor and naturalist.

Yet, she never anticipated a second rebirth. She had returned to her original life—a time when she felt the most unwilling and resentful.

As she glanced at the man moaning in pain, her gaze hardened.

In this life, despite having parents, they had long since divorced and started new families, viewing her as a burden.

Consequently, she had no option but to fend for herself.

During this period, she found work as a clerk in a small inn.

While working as a clerk for a small restaurant, she had gone out for a delivery. As she passed through a narrow alley, a homeless man, who had previously assaulted her, followed closely behind.

Although she managed to escape, the encounter left a lasting impact on her.

Now that she was reborn, she contemplated how she could change her fate with this man.

She approached him, her thoughts racing.

“No, no… don’t come closer!”

Upon hearing her footsteps, the man froze, his face filled with dread. “I—I… someone told me to beg. I didn’t want to!”

Xia Xibei halted in her tracks, her expression unreadable.

Her expression was dark and inscrutable, eyes icy. "Who told you to come?"

"A-teenager! He gave me money to help you! He told me to do all this!"

The homeless man, trembling, didn’t dare to conceal anything. He quickly recounted his entire story, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, Xia Xibei might end his life.

"A teenager?"

Xia Xibei's gaze dropped. "How much did he give you?"

"Just one... one thousand yuan!"

One thousand yuan was deemed enough to ruin a girl. So cheap!.

“Can I leave now? I swear, I’m innocent!”

Xia Xibei picked up the foul-smelling money, her lips curling into a strange smile.

“Innocent? How innocent can someone really be after trying to ruin a girl’s life over a mere thousand yuan?”

Her lips moved slightly, and in the next moment, a group of feral cats appeared out of nowhere, pouncing toward the homeless man.

“Argh—!”

### Chapter 2: Encountering Someone Familiar

In the fantastical world where Xia Xibei was reborn into her second life, there existed animal trainers and royal botanists. Those who mastered both skills were known as naturalists.

Perhaps due to her memories from her past life, she possessed a strong mental power that allowed her to become a rare naturalist.

Although her abilities in this field were almost nonexistent after being reborn, controlling a handful of feral cats and dogs was still an effortless task.

Xia Xibei was unfazed by the screams echoing behind her. She continued walking forward, her steps steady and unhurried.

As she passed another alley, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

“Catch him! He’s just ahead! Don’t let him escape!”

Xia Xibei frowned. She had no desire to get involved with these people. Quietly, she changed direction, slipping away unnoticed.

As she neared a bamboo raft, the sharp, metallic scent of blood suddenly hit her nose.

Before she could react, a hand shot out and yanked her into the raft.

“Shhh...”

A deep voice rumbled softly, and before Xia Xibei could utter a word, she was pulled into an embrace, her mouth covered by a large hand.

A masculine scent mixed with the sharp tang of blood filled her nostrils.

The sound of hurried footsteps outside grew louder—they were closing in on their location.

Xia Xibei’s anger flared, but she knew she couldn’t let those people get too close. If they did, they might assume she was in cahoots with the man.

Her brows furrowed slightly.

“Over there!”

A shout rang out, followed by the sound of footsteps retreating in another direction.

Using her abilities, Xia Xibei had sent the feral cats and dogs to create a diversion, leading the pursuers away. However, as the tension eased, a wave of dizziness suddenly overtook her.

She would have collapsed onto the ground if the man hadn’t caught her.

However, their stance was somewhat suggestive.

Xia Xibei was quite slender but not short, standing at nearly 170 cm.

The man, on the other hand, was taller. She could sense his energy enveloping her, causing her to shiver. He also had a robust build with a broad chest.

Earlier, when Xia Xibei had been pulled in, she hadn’t struggled; instead, she chose to keep her distance.

Now, she felt too weak to stand from her exertion. All she could do was lean on him, and there was hardly any space between them.

The awkward position made Xia Xibei feel both embarrassed and irritated, especially since the man's body felt different now.

It felt as if time had stopped while they were intertwined.

Realizing the situation, she pushed herself against the man's chest.

"Hey!"

The man let out a grunt, noticing the fresh blood on his stomach.

Thud!

The bamboo raft hit the ground with a sharp sound, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Xia Xibei finally laid eyes on the man.

He was tall, around 185 cm, with a lean build, angular features, deep-set eyes, and thin lips. His expression resembled that of a ruler surveying the world with disdain.

Unfortunately, the blood stains and chaos around him distorted that image.

When Xia Xibei got a clearer look at the man’s face, her expression shifted.

Qiao Yanjue. He was commonly referred to as Master Jue!

The Qiao family was well-known for their influence in the region of Hua, and he was a prominent figure in the business world.

Sure! Here’s a rewritten versi

Whenever Xia Xibei considered Qiao Yanjue's connection with a particular individual, she wished she could have turned back the people pursuing him.

Xia Xibei looked at Qiao Yanjue, hesitating.

"I don’t recognize you," she said, her expression unyielding.

Naturally, Qiao Yanjue felt disbelief. He sensed that the young man wasn't being truthful.

Yet, he had little time to dwell on it as his condition worsened.

His body trembled. Without hesitation, Xia Xibei stepped forward, offering her support.

### Chapter 3: A Life Saved

After securing him, Xia Xibei felt an urge to slap herself.

What a response!

She had her own standards when it came to saving lives.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience," Qiao Yanjue said, his face pale. "You’re free to go." There was a noticeable sadness in his voice, contrasting with his usual demeanor.

Xia Xibei’s expression darkened. Of course she wanted to leave.

Observing Qiao Yanjue's condition and the blood flowing from his wounds, her thoughts became chaotic. Ultimately, she adopted a serious demeanor and instructed him to sit on the ground.

Before Qiao Yanjue could respond, she had already taken off his jacket and pulled his shirt up. He felt the pressure against him.

Perhaps Qiao Yanjue lacked the strength to resist, allowing her to move him without protest.

His clothes were pulled back, exposing his defined abdomen. The bullet wounds were alarming, and blood continued to seep from them.

If this continued for another ten minutes, he risked dying from excessive blood . Xia Xibei remained calm as she extended her hand to press against the wound.

What surprised Qiao Yanjue was how quickly the bleeding ceased.

“Do you have a knife and a lighter?”

Qiao Yanjue hesitated for a moment. “I have them in my pocket.”

Xia Xibei reached into his pocket and pulled out an army knife, a lighter, and a pack of cigarettes.

She tossed the cigarette pack into the trash with a hint of disgust and retrieved the knife.

“Hold on tight.”

As she handled the knife, she said, “Ah!” Qiao Yanjue instinctively tensed up at the sudden cold touch.

Pain! Intense pain!

Without any anesthesia and in such a rough setting, Qiao Yanjue felt a wave of madness. And this girl was so composed!

If it weren’t for his pride, he might have yelled out.

Xia Xibei worked swiftly and efficiently. The bullet was soon out, and she proceeded to treat the wound.

Then she tore his coat into strips and used them to bandage him up simply.

OK. You won’t die.”

Xia Xibei stood calmly, though her eyes revealed a hint of revulsion.

Qiao Yanjue noticed her pale face. He questioned whether he had upset her. What was the reason for her attitude?

Yet, he had never encountered her in this place before; how could she know him?

Xia Xibei picked up the knife and lighter. “This is my parting gift to you. I won’t see you again.”

Without waiting for Qiao Yanjue to respond, she walked away.

As he watched, Qiao Yanjue felt increasingly confused.

After regaining his composure, a curious smile crept onto his lips.

This girl was quite intriguing.

Minutes later, he noticed movement in the alley again, but this time it was his own people approaching.

“Master, we apologize for being late!”

Several bodyguards glanced at Qiao Yanjue, who lay on the ground, their expressions tense.

Especially after they noticed the—

The "bandage" on his abdomen made their hearts skip a beat.

Qiao Yanjue didn’t hesitate and got back on his feet.

Once he was in the car, he spoke at last. "Find out everything."

His tone was steady, but everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, treating Qiao Yanjue's situation as an accident, Xia Xibei quickly cleaned the blood from her hands and returned to the small restaurant where she worked.

Fortunately, she was dressed in black today, so the bloodstains were less noticeable and wouldn’t alarm anyone.

At the small restaurant, chaos erupted. “Where have you been? Where’s the food you were supposed to deliver?! The customer is furious!”

Xia Xibei, facing the seemingly sincere expressions, smirked slightly. “I quit.”
