Miss Loser is too enchanting

"So that’s it," the crowd suddenly realized.

Qie Yue said, "It’s true that Little Douzi fell into the ice spring when he was twelve. I took him to the ice spring to play, and he accidentally fell in. I quickly went down and pulled him out, but he was still frozen and unclear, and afterward, his body began to stop growing. I always thought I had injured him somewhere, but it turns out it was this thing that entered his body."

After a while, Little Douzi slowly came to and opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by a group of people. Before he could speak, he felt a pain in his lower abdomen.

"Little Douzi, how do you feel?" Nian Hua asked.

"It hurts," said Little Douzi, his face pale.

"If you feel pain, that means there’s no problem," Nian Hua sighed in relief, said.

After being reminded by Nian Hua, Little Douzi suddenly remembered what he had just said and excitedly said, "I can feel pain! I can feel pain! My body has sensation again!"

As his body had been frozen by the Bing Jing, he had been unable to feel pain and could only control his body, but now that the Bing Jing had come out, he naturally regained his sensations.

"Hahaha, Little Douzi is cured, and now he’ll be able to grow normally. In a few years, he’ll grow up into an adult!" Everyone was happy for Little Douzi, "The mistress is really amazing, she fixed him up just like that!"

"Thank you, Mistress!" Little Douzi looked at Dugu Qianye with gratitude. If it weren’t for her, he would have been stuck like this for his entire life.

"I’m also very happy to be able to cure you," Dugu Qianye said with a smile.

Zi Xiao came down from his seat, took Dugu Qianye’s hand, and said, "Alright, Little Yeye is tired too. Nian Hua, you take care of Little Douzi’s injury, everyone else can disperse." After saying this, he led Dugu Qianye away.

On the way past the garden, Dugu Qianye saw fish in the water of the pavilion and pulled Zi Xiao to sit down by it, leaning on the railing of the pavilion, surprised to find fish swimming in the water.

"I didn’t notice you had this here!" Dugu Qianye exclaimed as she threw some food into the water, causing the fish to swarm over, "I remember when we met in the Cangqiong Empire, it was also by a small pavilion by the water, and you were pretending to be the Saint Heir of the Divine Temple."

Remembering the situation back then, Zi Xiao also smiled and said, "You swindled Cang Li and me of a lot of Gold Coins at that time! You claimed it was an exquisite wine you had come upon by chance, but it was actually made by your Chief Butler Dudu."

"Hehe, it was a case of willing seller, willing buyer. I certainly didn’t force you guys! And the wine Dudu makes is tasty, isn’t it? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have happily coughed up the money, right?" Dugu Qianye laughed mischievously, not a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"But you didn’t have to charge so much, did you?!" Zi Xiao complained.

"I needed the money!" Dugu Qianye said, "Sigh, I wonder how big brother and the others are doing in the Xuanyue Continent now? He, Cang Lan, He Yan, Long Xiang, they were the first friends I made after I came to the Xuanyue Continent. Especially big brother’s silly gluttonous ways, it makes me laugh just thinking about it now. I simply treated him to a barbecue in the Cangmang Mountains, and I gained a brother. He just had my barbecue, and then we fought side by side in a battle, and he acknowledged me as his sister and even gave me his Mercenary Guild badge."

Dugu Qianye took out the badge that Dan Jingtian had given her and reminisced, "Do you know, this badge can mobilize half the power of the Mercenary Guild, and he just gave it to me without any reservation. He also told the people from the Qifeng City Mercenary Guild to look after me."

"The guy is indeed a bit silly, but he’s a good person," Zi Xiao said with a favorable impression of Dan Jingtian.

"Yeah, I wonder how they’re doing now? Also not sure if Grandpa Xie is still the same. Since the principal is back, Grandma Xie should be able to put less effort into the school and won’t have to pretend to be so stern in front of the students." Dugu Qianye leaned on the railing, watching the fish below fighting for food, and reminisced about the days when she first arrived in this world.

She remembered the time when she was betrayed, died, and then crossed over to this place. Although she never spoke of it to anyone, deep down she felt that period was the most difficult time of her life. She thought she would never look back on those times, and yet now she found herself missing them.

That’s just the way life is, the days you despaired over and thought you’d never remember become just a part of your life. On some day, in some month, in some year, you might recall them with a smile and say, "Turns out I could be that strong!"

Zi Xiao sat down next to Dugu Qianye, leaning on the railing, and looking at Dugu Qianye’s face, he asked, "Are you and Baili Ruyan friends?"

"We are companions who trust each other with our backs!" Mentioning Baili Ruyan brought a spark of energy to Dugu Qianye’s tired eyes.

"Can you tell me about your past?" Zi Xiao asked.

"The past? You mean my previous life?" Dugu Qianye turned her face and rested it on her hand, saying, "In my previous life, Ruyan and I were partners, praised by others, who gave us the title of the Dark Twin Stars."

"How did you come to be here?" Zi Xiao inquired.

How could they, who must have been splendid people in their previous life, end up in a place like this?

Recalling the past life, Dugu Qianye still felt a bit resentful as she said, "The friend of my parents died to save them, so my parents took in their daughter. After that..."

As Dugu Qianye recounted her experiences from her previous life, perhaps because she hadn’t really loved him, or maybe because Zi Xiao had given her new warmth, she didn’t feel as much pain when she spoke about being betrayed by her boyfriend.

"...So, the person I’m the most sorry for is Ruyan. If it were not for me, she wouldn’t have died, nor would she have ended up in a place as dark as Endless Hell," Dugu Qianye said. "I don’t know how she’s getting along there now."

After hearing Dugu Qianye’s story, Zi Xiao understood why she initially had an aversion to relationships. Thank goodness he had been thick-skinned enough; otherwise, he might not have been able to open her heart.

"Baili Ruyan’s return to this place is destined, just like you were meant to come back," Zi Xiao said.

"I keep wondering if Ruyan might be the Hen Xi you mentioned," Dugu Qianye said. "Too bad I can’t tell for sure right now."

"You will know once you recover your memories and strength," Zi Xiao said. "You should go into seclusion for the time being, and I’ll send people to look for the whereabouts of the remaining two Spiritual Pearls."

"The Dark Spiritual Bead should be in my Endless Hell," Mang Qianjun’s voice came from outside.

Following the sound, Dugu Qianye and the others turned to see Mang Qianjun lying on a tree at the shore. Seeing that they had noticed him, he leapt into the pavilion.

"I was actually sleeping up there and overheard your conversation by chance," Mang Qianjun said. "I didn’t expect you and my sister to have such a deep bond. No wonder she’s constantly thinking of you, while I, her brother, don’t even know where I went wrong."
