Chapter 3

"Impossible, it's impossible." "Ghost, she's a ghost." "My dear little sister, do I look like a ghost to you?" "I'm alive and well." The Madam arrives. "You..." "Didn't you already die in the forest?" "How are you still alive?!" Madam Ying pointed at Xiu Ying in horror. "Madam, I don't understand what you mean." "Are you sick like 2nd sister madam?" "You seem to both think that I'm dead." "Xiu Ying!" That must be the original owner's mother. Concubine Ye was originally the madam of the Ying manor until Concubine Xen seduced and framed her and eventually, Madam Ying became the Concubine Ye of the West courtyard.

She lived a life full of lies and betrayal. Concubine Xen was originally friends with Madam Ying until she turned her back on her. In the 21st century, I lost my mother when I was young and my father abandoned me. But I swear, that I will protect my mother in this world and make sure to protect the people that treated me well and take revenge on those that hurt and betrayed me. "Mother..." "Oh Xiu Ying, my dear daughter, where have you been all this time?" "They all said you were dead." "I didn't want to believe them." "I'm so happy that you have come back safe and sound." "I'm sure my 2nd sister and Madam Ying must feel the same way." "Right, Madam Ying?" "Of course, we are so thrilled to have the eldest miss back."

"Damn, how is that bitch still alive? I must find another way to deal with that bitch and her slut of a mother, thought Madam Ying. "Now that I am back, I must excuse myself to go to my room, Madam Ying." "Someone escort the eldest miss to her room." "Let's go mother." "Ok." "This concubine excuses herself." "You may go sister." Xiu Ying and her mother headed to the west courtyard. "Miss your back, her maid said running to give her a hug." "I thought I'd never see you again, she said crying." "Aren't I here now?" This must be Xiu Ying's maid, Mi Len. Mi len was Xiu Ying's most loyal maid and would always cover for the miss and never had a chance to cultivate unlike Xiu Ying's mother who lost her cultivation after she became a concubine. "Mi Len, why don't you take my mother to her room to rest." "Yes, miss. Once they leave then I can start practicing my cultivation. This body is weak and has been poisoned. I'm sure I can find some ingredients in the system.

Xiu Ying touched her bracelet and was immediately sucked into the system. This poison is very easy to treat. All I need is mulberry leaf, morinda root, cloud stem, and ginseng. Xiu Ying finished making the herbal medicine and drank it. "Now that the poison is gone, I should start by awakening my cultivation." Xiu Ying sat and crissed crossed her legs and closed her eyes. I must open my Qi today. Xiu Ying opened her eyes and saw that she had already reached the 3rd stage. I have reached the Hy Stage already? In Cultivation there are 7 stages. There is the Yu, Chin, Hy, Zen, Buon, Qu, and the Elemental Zin Stage. Being able to cultivate to another stage can take years and I was able to get to the 3rd stage in one day. Wouldn't that make me a genius? But before I continue cultivating, I should find myself a cultivation beast.
