"Fifth Sister! Mmm, so good! So good! Hurry up!" Yun Jiu's cheeks were stuffed full, bulging like a greedy little squirrel as she devoured the delicious food in front of her.
Yun Xiaowu was taken aback by Yun Jiu's eating habits, her chopsticks frozen in mid-air, forgetting all about the rice in her bowl. Had Xiao Jiu not eaten for days and nights? With such a voracious appetite, one might think she was possessed by a starving ghost!
Snapping back to reality, Yun Xiaowu glanced at the table and was left speechless. In just a short while, the entire spread had been cleared away by Yun Jiu, leaving only some scraps and a few empty plates. Meanwhile, Yun Jiu was staring intently at the bowl of white rice in Yun Xiaowu's hands, her gaze akin to that of a hungry wolf fixated on a piece of juicy meat.
"Fifth Sister, cough, cough," Yun Jiu choked slightly and hurriedly patted her chest to catch her breath. "I had a bit too much work today and used up a lot of energy, so I'm a little hungry." She blinked her eyes pitifully at Yun Xiaowu, resembling a begging little puppy.
With a helpless sigh, Yun Xiaowu instructed the maid to fetch more food from the kitchen. She couldn't help but wonder why the kitchen staff, no matter how much they disliked Xiao Jiu, would dare to mistreat her openly. What on earth was going on with Xiao Jiu? Could it really be that she was exhausted from taking on too many tasks lately?
Finally satisfied after eating her fill, Yun Jiu slumped back in her chair, patting her round belly while letting out contented burps. Haha! She had finally discovered a perk of being transported here: the food was absolutely delicious! Pure, natural, pollution-free, organic food! It was infinitely better than the chemically-laden foods from her previous life!
"Fifth Sister, your food is truly amazing!" Yun Jiu smacked her lips, looking utterly satisfied. "Can I come here to eat often from now on?"
Yun Xiaowu couldn't help but chuckle at her. "Xiao Jiu, if you like it here, feel free to come often. Just be mindful of how you eat; if outsiders see you like this, they might think our family is mistreating you."
"Hey, Fifth Sister, don't worry, I'll be more careful from now on," Yun Jiu said playfully, sticking out her tongue. "I was just so hungry! Next time, I'll be more refined."
After chatting for a bit longer, Yun Jiu held her stomach and leisurely made her way back to her courtyard. The little maid, Chunyu, had been waiting eagerly at the door. When she saw Yun Jiu return unscathed, her face lit up with joy as she hurried to help her wash up and rest.
Butler Ji was highly efficient; the new door had already been installed. After enjoying a comfortable hot bath, Yun Jiu lay on her bed and began to plan her future arrangements. Today, she gathered from her cheap grandfather that this body of hers did possess a spiritual root but was unable to draw in spiritual energy. What could be the reason for that?
In this world where strength reigned supreme, being unable to cultivate would make it incredibly difficult to get by! Moreover, the Bai Family was always eyeing the Yun Family. If she couldn't cultivate, how could she protect the Yun Family? It would probably even be challenging to deal with that scoundrel from the Bai Family! That scoundrel was said to have reached the fourth level of Refining Spirit! And what about her? She was still a good-for-nothing who couldn't cultivate!
The more Yun Jiu thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She decided to sit up and cross her legs in meditation, trying to draw in spiritual energy using the incantations from the original owner's memories. She closed her eyes and focused on sensing the colorful specks of light floating in the air around her; those should be the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"Come here, my little treasures~ my cuties~!" Yun Jiu silently chanted the incantation while inviting those colorful specks of light.
To her delight, those colorful specks rushed toward her! Yun Jiu couldn't help but feel overjoyed! Ha ha! It seemed that the original owner was simply too foolish to cultivate! The title of good-for-nothing would soon be a thing of the past! From now on, please call her a genius! Ha ha ha!
However, just as Yun Jiu was happily envisioning her future, those colorful specks suddenly scattered in all directions!
Yun Jiu felt her beautiful bubbles of imagination burst cruelly by reality. She gritted her teeth, unwilling to give up just like that. She would try again! She had to successfully draw the spirit into her body!
Only then could she rid herself of the title of being useless! Only then could she establish herself in this world where strength reigned supreme! Only then could she protect the Yun Family and stand against the Bai Family!
Yun Jiu began her cultivation again according to the incantation, and once more, the five-colored light dots gathered around her. However, at the last moment, just as success seemed within reach, those five-colored light dots refused to enter Yun Jiu's body again!
Time and time again, failure did not discourage Yun Jiu; instead, it ignited her fighting spirit even more! She refused to be defeated! Today, she would succeed in drawing the spirit into her body!
After hundreds of attempts, Yun Jiu finally discovered a unique purple light dot. It slowly broke free from the distance and then burrowed into Yun Jiu's body.
Purple? Yun Jiu was taken aback. The golden one represented metal, the green one represented wood, the white one represented water, the red one represented fire, and the yellow one represented earth. But she had never heard of a purple element before! What on earth was going on?
