" Human, are you awake?"
" Are you awake human?"
" Human!"
Mo Qiang felt like her head was going to explode. She couldn't understand what was going on around her, all she knew was —— that she was going to die! How can someone's head hurt this much? Was it because she drank too much? But did she drink last night?
As she tried to filter through her memories, she realised that last night, she did not get drunk instead she got killed!
Almost immediately Mo Qiang sat up straight as she looked around her surroundings—— she was sitting on moving clouds. Mo Qiang pinched her cheeks and then closed her eyes to make sure she was not dreaming, but when she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see that she was indeed sitting on a moving cloud!
" Haha, looks like I am still dreaming," Mo twenty-five years old virgin who did not even have any crush while slaving away for her boss Qiang, refused to believe that she was dead without getting a chance to live her life.
" You are not dreaming, you are really dead," a voice chimed from the front causing Mo Qiang to look up. In front of her on a floating cloud sat a very beautiful girl, with transparent wings with golden glitters and veins like that of a fairy.
Her golden hair that reminded her of rustling wheat was floating behind her and green eyes like fresh grass were locked on Mo Qiang, with her hand under her chin, the fairy-like little girl studied Mo Qiang with those green eyes, a frown decorating her face.
"I … I am really dead …?" Mo Qiang did not want to accept that she was dead or the fact that she was in heaven but the fairy in front of her was telling her otherwise.
She looked at her hands which were without a single wrinkle and then touched her face which was as smooth as she remembered before holding her head as she let out a cry, " Is this karma? Is it because I called that boss of mine a baldy? Or is it because I cursed that landlady of mine for increasing the rent? What is it?"
"It's because your karma was entangled with that of a bad guy," the girl who looked like a fairy replied to Mo Qiang who stopped her whining and stared at the little girl. " What do you mean by Karma? And who is the bad guy here?"
At her question, the little fairy fluttered her wings angrily and then said, " Isn't it the man who you call your boss? The one who plundered mountains, ruined nature and then drove many wild animals away? And you…." She pointed at Mo Qiang like she had done a great crime. " You assisted him by giving him those horrendous plans of yours!"
Mo Qiang thought that the little fairy was going a bit too hard on her which was why she licked her lips and then said, " I think you are getting angry for something really small——"
"Small? Haha, I will show you small," the little fairy scoffed with a nerve throbbing on her forehead.
She snapped her fingers and the clouds that were surrounding them faltered as the two came to stand in the middle of a dark alley where Mo Qiang could see that the sky was dark and gloomy without a ray of light —— the entire place was covered with gases and fumes at the bottom and the people who were walking on the streets were wearing a fish bowl shaped crystal helmet on their heads while the others who were looking rather well off had a watery looking mask on their mouth and nose.
The dark gloomy sky with red clouds was weird enough but when Mo Qiang looked around, she was shocked to see that there was not a single tree in sight! Not even the smallest one—— not even a shrub.
" You see? This is what you humans have done to this world!" The little fairy who was flying next to her scoffed as she looked at the place in front of her with heartache in her eyes. " You started with small things but then you all became greedy and started killing the wild animals, forest and the consumption of the natural resources don't even start me on that! To make up for the natural resources, you started making chemicals that only made the surroundings even more polluted."
The little fairy sighed and then with a reminiscent look on her face said, " How good it was when people used to rely on nature and in return made sure to repay the gratitude of nature two folds. But——" the fire lit up again in the eyes of the little fairy as she started nudging Mo Qiang in the side of her forehead. " People like you …started to get greedy! If you were taking down forests why did you not plant more forests? Why did you not breed more wild animals when you were killing them?"
" You..what are you saying? Are you upset with the use of natural sources or not?" Mo Qiang asked as she looked at the little fairy who was poking her in the head.
She was complaining that she harmed nature but at the same time, it sounded like she was more upset with her for not repaying the nature from which she took those resources.
" Of course, I am not upset with you humans making use of the natural resources," said the little fairy as she crossed her little arms in front. "Mother Nature is kind and generous, so, of course, she is happy when her children rely on her but when your greed exceeds the consumption limit, should you not repay Mother Nature as well?"
The little fairy narrowed her eyes as she looked at Mo Qiang and then announced, " Since you have taken, you have to repay as well. Be grateful human! That you have been chosen to revive this destroyed world!"
As she spoke Mo Qiang felt her eyes roll in her sockets as she passed out again.
----------------
Mo Qiang did not know how long she was out, all she knew was that when she woke up, she felt like her jaw was going to get dislocated or maybe it was already dislocated. She pushed herself off the ground and then looked around, she was lying in the same alley as the one where the little fairy has brought her earlier. Except for this one now had a trash can that was brimming with trash and more trash, flies the size of bees were flying over the trash and Mo Qiang who was on the ground simply stared at everything and thought that everything that just happened around her was unrealistic.
With a raise of her hand, she pinched herself on the cheek and winced, " Oww, looks like I am not dreaming."
" Of course, you are not," a voice similar to that of the little fairy echoed in her head as a transparent screen that had golden letters on it appeared in front of her eyes. Mo Qiang looked at the screen and saw the words that were written on it ——
[ Nature Reviver: Mo Qiang.
Level: 1
Equipment: None.
Strength: Beast summoner, yet to be gained.]
No sooner did she finish reading the information, a pile of memories that were not hers started to flood her head. Mo Qiang who has somehow pushed herself to sit up on the ground felt like she was dying as she raised her hands and clutched her head ——
The world where she was now was not the Earth, instead, it was an interstellar star called the Death Star. The previous owner of this body was also called Mo Qiang and she was in simpler words, trash —— she was the daughter of the ex-general of the imperial army who lived in the main star. The ex-general was called Mo Yan, and to her surprise, the general was actually a woman and not a man!
Turns out that the rates of woman population in the old times kept falling since no one wanted to have a daughter and only craved more and more sons. In the end as the world she lived in reached the final stage, the researcher of the world then came up with the plan of creating a being that will give birth to children with both males and females that were able to survive the destruction of the world.
These beings were called mers, they were created only to give birth to females and males but in the end, somehow, there was a problem in the genetic formulation of the mers who ended up giving birth to mers which caused the population of mers to boost more than the males and females.
Because of this sudden boost the mers whose population was more than the population of females and males were forced to marry a woman or man even if they already had spouses. Since no mer could give birth to a child with another mer.
Mo Qiang was the daughter of the first husband of her mother and was spoiled rotten which caused her temper to be ruined. Her stubborn temper stayed the same even when her mother was declared a traitor by the imperial family because of a scheme and was sent to this star where the living conditions were hardly liveable.
She also had a sister who was the daughter of the second husband, this sister of hers was kidnapped by the second husband who ran away from the original owner's mother, the second she was declared a traitor and was stripped of her title as the general of the imperial army.
Mo Yan, the original owner's mother knew that her second husband was pregnant with her child and thus looked for her desperately. After a long search, this sister of hers was found—— when Mo Yan found her, she was sick and almost on the verge of death since the second husband of her mother left his daughter on the streets after he married another woman who was richer and stronger than Mo Yan.
Mo Yan brought her daughter back and nursed her back to health, and as soon as she recovered, Mo Yan named her daughter Mo Xifeng meaning Phoenix. Mo Qiang who was envious of Mo Xifeng who was getting doted on by Mo Yan was, even more, hurt when her mother named a street rat Mo Xifeng while giving her a fragile name —— Mo Qiang which meant rose.
Ever since then Mo Qiang has always bullied Mo Xifeng and even called her the daughter of a traitor. The more Mo Qiang bullied Mo Xifeng, the more the latter strived to improve herself and the more Mo Xifeng improved the more Mo Qiang envied her.
It was like an endless cycle.
But her hatred towards Mo Xifeng exceeded when she found out that her husbands, whom she married and brought home were actually in love with her sister! And they even wished to see her die such that they will be able to marry Mo Xifeng!
How treacherous! How venomous!
After that Mo Qiang was like a rabid dog biting everyone she saw and last night after she drank tons of alcohol and broke the leg of her third husband, she came out of the house after getting scolded by her mother and died in this dark alley because she misplaced her mask and breathed in a lot of poisonous gases.
What the poor woman did not know was that the third husband deliberately egged her such that she will break his leg and Mo Xifeng will dote on him a little.
Mo Qiang who reeled all the information was speechless as she turned to look around and screamed, " Why did you have to make me this stupid?"
Of all the people, the little fairy choose the shittiest one she could find—— a bully, an abuser and on top of it this woman was stupid as heck!
Was this her punishment for not planting more trees?
" I am glad that you are now smart enough to understand that you are an idiot," said a voice from behind.
----
Mo Qiang turned to look at the source of the voice with a whirl of her feet, as soon as she turned to look at the woman who was standing behind her, she felt her mouth drop. She only heard about angels descending from the heavens and living on the surface of the earth but this was her first time seeing a living, breathing angel.
With her long silvery hair that was fluttering behind her and eyes that were the lightest shade of blue that had a bit of green in them, the woman was looking at her with a scowl on her face. Mo Qiang might have gotten to her knees and praised the woman for gracing her with her beauty but then she saw the numbers that were hovering over the head of the woman.
[ Favourability: -150]
Mo Qiang: "…." Now she was afraid to even show the back of her neck to this woman lest she snapped her neck.
" Mother has called you back home," said the woman who was standing in front of her, her lips still curled in a scowl as she stared her in the eyes. " She only said those words in anger, there was no need for you to stay out in the streets for an entire night."
" Mo Xifeng?" Mo Qiang tested as she looked at the woman with silvery hair who frowned at her when Mo Qiang called her by her name instead of a traitorous bitch.
"That's me," replied Mo Xifeng as she looked at Mo Qiang who was looking at her with part daze and part disbelief. Her brows furrowed even more as her gaze dropped to Mo Qiang's bare mouth and then she said, " Did you stay outside without your mask?"
Mo Qiang touched her dry lips which were chapped and felt rather rough when she touched them with her fingertips, she raised her head and looked at Mo Xifeng whose lips were covered with the mask that she was wearing on her mouth. Those lips were cherry red and looked rather kissable, even though she did not know what kind of appearance she had, Mo Qiang was certain that unless she had the appearance of the most beautiful woman on this planet, she will never be able to beat Mo Xifeng in terms of beauty!
" Stop dreaming," said a voice next to her ear as she turned to look at the squirrel with two small horns on top of her head and a pair of wings on her back. It looked like a badly mutilated flying squirrel since it was missing the cuteness of one.
" Hah?" The squirrel who was perched on her shoulder turned to look at her with an affronted look on her face as she said in a haughty voice that was similar to that of the little fairy, " I am cute from every angle! You might not know this but every form that this mighty one takes is considered to be cute!"
" And you even caught a pet?" Mo Qiang heard Mo Xifeng say as she turned to look at the woman who was now nursing her forehead as she heavily sighed, " Sister, you cannot even take care of yourself. How are you going to take care of that pet? Have you ever thought about what you are going to feed it when we don't have enough to eat ourselves?"
As the woman complained to Mo Qiang, the favourability on top of her fell to another point.
Mo Qiang felt like she was caught by the police at the wrong moment and in the wrong place. She was not the one who committed those atrocities towards Mo Xifeng but now she was the one whose mugshot was getting snapped. She stared at Mo Xifeng not knowing what to say or do, she simply opened her mouth and closed it again without saying anything.
Her behaviour caused Mo Xifeng to frown even further, she has known her sister for years and not once had she seen her sister stay this silent. Did she inhale too much poisonous gases while she was lying on the streets?
Mo Xifeng felt that her sister was simply too incapable but she was in the end her family which was why she took out an extra mask that she carried with herself lest the oxygen in the one that she was wearing ran out and threw it at Mo Qiang who caught it instinctively.
" Here you go," she said to Mo Qiang who was holding the mask in her hands looking at it dubiously. But when she saw that Mo Qiang was not wearing it and was only looking at it with a confused look on her face, Mo Xifeng couldn't stand it as she said, " What are you doing? Don't tell me that you forget to wear this in just one night?"
The thing was that Mo Qiang indeed had no idea how to wear this mask, she gained knowledge of the world and the family she has to stay with but other than that she did not have anything else in her head. It could be said that her brain was clearly free of any wrinkle when it came to the knowledge of this world.
She smiled at Mo Xifeng with an awkward expression but before she could say anything Mo Xifeng has already raised her fists and with a bang hit her across her face.
" Ow, what the hell was that for?" Mo Qiang who was punched in the face, looked at Mo Xifeng while covering the side of her face that was hit with her hand. She blinked her eyes in confusion and was surprised to see that Mo Xifeng was doing the same as well, " What are you confused for?!"
" I don't know," said Mo Xifeng with a startled look on her face as she closed and opened her fists as she looked at Mo Qiang. " I just thought that you were thinking of something evil when you smiled at me just now and my body …it moved on its own." She looked at Mo Qiang who was now nursing her jaw and then said, " I apologise, sister. "
Though she said that Mo Qiang could see that Mo Xifeng looked rather contented with the punch that she delivered just now.
Mo Qiang: "...." Just what kind of woman was this original owner?
