Pill Refining, Beast Taming: The Trash Young Lady is the Hidden Empress - chapter 1

Chapter 1

Eastern Dragon Empire, Qingyang City.

“No, no, let me go…”

In a desolate manor, a stunningly beautiful yet frail girl was pinned down and molested by an ugly man with a face full of pockmarks. She cried out in despair, struggling to break free.

The ugly man caressed her skin as smooth as jade, grinning to reveal a mouthful of yellow teeth. “As expected of a young lady from a great family. Even if you’re a good-for-nothing, you’re still breathtakingly beautiful-ah…”

The girl suddenly bit his hand with all her might. The ugly man screamed and flung her aside.

“Mother, Brother Wen, Yin’er will go ahead first. We’ll meet again in the next life…” The girl resolutely threw herself at a nearby beam.

Bang!

After a loud crash, the girl’s body slid limply to the ground, fresh blood gushing from her forehead.

“You bitch!”

Once he recovered, the ugly man, furious, stepped forward and grabbed her, tossing her onto the bed.

The girl’s body was limp and motionless.

The ugly man froze for a moment, then hurriedly checked her nose and mouth. “Dead… she’s dead?”

He had been paid to ruin this young lady’s purity, not to kill her. If the Ye Family found out he had killed Ye Ranyin, he would be dead too.

Panicking, the ugly man suddenly noticed the girl’s fingers seemed to twitch slightly.

A corpse coming back to life? Or had she never died in the first place?

“Damn little bitch! First dead, now alive-what tricks are you playing?” The ugly man felt a surge of anger at being fooled. He remembered that the person who hired him, fearing he might fail, had even given him an aphrodisiac.

He had thought this useless girl was too weak to need it, but now it seemed safer to use the drug after all.

The ugly man took out the aphrodisiac and rudely stuffed it into the girl’s mouth.

Gulp.

As Ye Ranyin regained consciousness, she realized she had swallowed something oval, which made her throat uncomfortable.

“Cough… what the hell was that?”

Her eyelids fluttered, then she suddenly opened her eyes. Her obsidian-black pupils made her pale face instantly come alive. Her already stunning features now radiated an irresistible charm, leaving the ugly man at the bedside dumbfounded-how did this useless young lady suddenly become so beautiful, even more beautiful than a fairy!

But as soon as Ye Ranyin awoke and saw such an abstractly ugly man, she instinctively slapped him: “Where did this ugly freak come from? Get lost!”

She was the world’s number one mercenary in the 21st century, known as the “Night God.” Everyone who knew her knew she was obsessed with looks; anyone ugly who approached her was courting death.

“You bitch, how dare you hit me?” The ugly man shouted in disbelief, clutching his face.

Ye Ranyin’s head throbbed painfully, and a flood of unfamiliar memories surged into her mind. She frowned slightly and kicked the ugly man over. “Get out.”

As she spoke, she finished absorbing the memories in her mind.

So, she had transmigrated-into the body of Ye Ranyin, a useless girl of the Ye Family in Qingyang City on the Xuanling Continent, who shared her name.

Her birth father was unknown. Her mother was Ye Caiwei, the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, one of the three great families in Qingyang Town.

In this world, strength was everything. Her mother, Ye Caiwei, was a prodigy and had become the number one person in Qingyang City at a young age. So even though she became pregnant before marriage, no one dared say a word. In fact, everyone tried to curry favor with her.

The Wen Family, also one of the three great families, wanted to win Ye Caiwei over and proposed a marriage alliance between their children.

Ye Ranyin’s mother saw that the Wen Family’s young master, Wen Zijue, was handsome and talented even at a young age, so she agreed.
The Wen Family had originally been very satisfied with this marriage arrangement. Who could have expected that, at the age of six, when Ye Ranyin was tested for her talent, everyone discovered that she was actually a useless waste who could not cultivate.

In contrast, the Wen Family’s young master, Wen Zijue, was exceptionally gifted, firmly holding the position of the number one among the younger generation in Qingyang City. Last year, he even passed the grand examination and entered the most powerful Imperial Capital Academy of the Eastern Dragon Empire to cultivate.

To make matters worse, Ye Ranyin’s mother had traveled far and wide in search of Heaven and Earth Treasures for her daughter’s useless body. Now, it had been seven years since she last left home.

She had been gone for seven years, with no news at all. Many people believed she had already died somewhere out there.

The people of Qingyang City gradually began to forget the grace and elegance of Ye Ranyin’s mother. Instead, more and more of them felt that the Ye Family’s useless young lady, Ye Ranyin, was completely unworthy of the Wen Family’s young master, Wen Zijue.

Today, Wen Wanqing-the Second Miss Wen, Wen Zijue’s younger sister, who had always looked down on Ye Ranyin-acted out of character and invited the original body to the manor for an outing.

The original body was simple by nature, timid and self-abasing, and had admired Wen Zijue since childhood. She tried her best to please the Wen Family. Upon receiving Wen Wanqing’s invitation, she excitedly dressed up and happily went to the appointment.

Who could have known that what awaited her was an ugly man who wanted to ruin her purity!

“What a Wen Family young lady!” After digesting the memories, Ye Ranyin instantly guessed that the original body had been set up by Wen Wanqing today.

Just as she was feeling indignant for the original body, the ugly man crawled up from the ground and lunged at her again: “You little bitch! You’re looking for death!”

However.

Ye Ranyin didn’t even glance at him. With lightning speed, she pulled out her hairpin, her hand moving like a phantom-swift, ruthless, and precise-as she stabbed it into the ugly man’s chest.

“You…” The ugly man’s face twisted, his pupils contracted in shock. Even in death, he couldn’t believe he had been killed by a waste!

“What? Killing someone as ugly as you-I didn’t want to do it either, you know?”

Ye Ranyin released the hairpin, wiped her hand disdainfully with her sleeve, and stood up to leave.

But she had only taken two steps when a surge of uncontrollable heat began to rampage through her body, making her limbs weak.

“This is…” Ye Ranyin had undergone all kinds of poison training, and instantly recognized that she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac. Her exquisite face gradually darkened.

Fortunately.

From the original body’s memories, she knew that there was a Cold Pool at the foot of the back mountain near the manor. The coldness of the pool should be able to suppress the effects of the drug in her body.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Relying on her strong willpower, Ye Ranyin staggered her way to the Cold Pool.

At this moment, her delicate face was flushed red, her entire body drenched in sweat, and her ink-black hair was wet and clinging to her snow-white skin.

She felt as if she was about to explode from the heat. Only when she saw the Cold Pool did she feel a sense of relief, and without hesitation, she stripped off her clothes and jumped in.

“Hmm?” The icy water of the pool helped Ye Ranyin regain some clarity. At the same time, she saw a white jade stone in the center of the Cold Pool, and atop the jade sat a figure.

Ye Ranyin instantly became alert: “Who are you?”

Her voice was grave, but the meditating figure did not move at all.

Ye Ranyin swam cautiously toward the center.

As she drew closer and finally saw the face of the meditating man, a flash of amazement flickered in her eyes.
