Liu Ti醤 Q� was so weary. Many times Liu Ti醤 Q� wanted to just let go. However, she could bear to leave. Liu Ti醤 Q� was absolutely sure Wang F鑞 Y襫g was waiting for her. She feared that if she let go, she would never see Wang F鑞 Y襫g again.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� spent an unlimited amount of time cursing her stupidity for taking the Black Blossom Potion with a weak body. She knew she would get sick, but never did she think that her spirit would somehow get disconnected from her body. It was obvious that her body wasn`t dead, because if it were, it would have begun to rot along time ago.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� cursed the Queen to the eighteen levels of hell. Liu Ti醤 Q� cursed the Queen`s whole family, including her cats, dogs, and chickens. She even spent plenty of time cursing the black-belly Emperor.

　　When she felt her grasp on her sanity, becoming tenuous, Liu Ti醤 Q� refocused her thoughts. First, Liu Ti醤 Q� began reciting every book she ever read. She focused her thoughts on passages she couldn`t remember until she could finally recall them. Although Liu Ti醤 Q� didn`t have a photographic memory, she did have a very good memory. Therefore she was able to recall the majority of what she couldn`t remember.

　　After that, Liu Ti醤 Q� focused on reviewing the work of all the classes she ever took. Afterward, she carefully weeded through every memory of her predecessor. Upon completing that Liu Ti醤 Q� went on to recall the many web novels she read, she recited her favorite poems. She recited what she could remember of the books of the Mahayana sutras, P
li Canon, The Holy Bible, and The Quran.

　　An indeterminable amount of time later, when Liu Ti醤 Q� finished reviewing and reciting all that she could. She then started all over again, repeating the process continuously. Liu Ti醤 Q� breathed a sigh of relief when her mind became more settled and stable.

　　Only then did she begin to meditate, in a short amount of time she fell into a deep meditation of peace. As Liu Ti醤 Q� meditated time marched on. If asked how long she meditated, even if her life depended on it, Liu Ti醤 Q� wouldn`t have been able to answer that question.

　　After an undetermined period of time, life once again changed for Liu Ti醤 Q�. Liu Ti醤 Q� was ripped from her deep meditation in a horrific way. An incredibly strong wrenching force yank her out of her body, forcing an involuntary scream of terror from her throat as she was ejected from her body.

　　Fear, panic, and an inexplicable foreboding exploded in Liu Ti醤 Q�`s heart as her incorporeal form hovered over her body. Terror flooded her very soul, forcing tears from her eyes. Liu Ti醤 Q� immediately tried several times unsuccessfully to get back into her body, but something barred the way.

　　The suction force was ten times stronger than before. With tears streaming down her face, Liu Ti醤 Q� looked down at her body. She then looked down at her incorporeal form and wondered if she was dead. Although she was expelled from her body, thankfully, she was still inside of her void. Liu Ti醤 Q� struggled with every fiber of her being to keep from getting sucked out of her void.

　　One moment Liu Ti醤 Q� was alone struggling to stay in her void. In the next moment, a strange man popped into her void with her.

　　The sudden appearance of a strange man scared Liu Ti醤 Q� so badly, she nearly lost her wits and almost got sucked out. In her fright, she barely managed to maintain her hold in her void.

　　The strange man was in a Corporeal form. He was a very tall, muscular man with jade-like skin that looked unreal. He looked ethereal. There was no other way to describe his exquisite beauty, other than to say his beauty looked unearthly. Somehow this strange, eerily beautiful, unearthly man seemed very familiar.

　　One look at the man-caused terror and deep anxiety to flood Liu Ti醤 Q�`s heart. "I`ve been calling you for a long time. Why haven`t you come?" The strange man asked.

　　There was a bottomless profoundness in the eyes of the strange man. His eyes were also tainted with a savage callousness. A smile graced the lips of the man, but that terrible smile somehow looked vicious and cruel.

　　With the words of the man, it suddenly clicked in Liu Ti醤 Q�`s mind on why this man looked familiar. His features bore a likeness similar to the features of her predecessor.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� was not curious about this man at all. She didn`t want to know who he was, where he was from, or where he was going. She just wanted him gone. He frightened her on a level she never felt before. The ethereal strange, beautiful man tugged at some in her that she hid away years ago.

　　The presence of the man, made Liu Ti醤 Q�`s dark side want to come out and play.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� always helped people and did good deeds; because of this, people mistakenly thought she was a good person. However, Liu Ti醤 Q� knew she was not a good person. Liu Ti醤 Q� grew up sickly and spoiled. She was homeschooled until the age of twelve and never really mingled with other people. She had never really experienced any extreme emotions until she started going to school at the age of twelve.

　　A group of girls who were thuggish bullies had begun bullying her. It was then her hidden dark side revealed it`s self to her.

　　Six of the girls had caught her in the school bathroom and tried to beat her up. However, Liu Ti醤 Q� had been learning Kung Fu from the Chinese monk from an extremely young age. She quickly knocked the girls out. However, that day Liu Ti醤 Q� had to forcefully hold herself back from killing the six girls.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

　　She wanted them to bleed. She wanted to tear the limbs from their body, bathe in their blood and drink it. The discipline that she learned under the Chinese monk and the Tibetian hermit, was what helped her to win the battle and stopped her from killing the girls.

　　The darkness in her scared her so much Liu Ti醤 Q� ran out of the school. Somehow she found her way home. Liu Ti醤 Q� locked herself in her room and didn`t come out for days.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� didn`t know what the six girls saw in her or on her face. However, from that day forward, all of the girls avoided her like the plague. Some of the girls even transferred schools. Liu Ti醤 Q�`s desperate struggle for control began that day.

　　For two whole years, Liu Ti醤 Q� struggled with her dark side. She did her best to avoided extreme negative emotions at all costs. Day in and day out, she had to consciously force down the dark thoughts that took over her mind. She focused heavily on her martial arts training and meditation. They helped her to remain calm and maintain her sanity. Liu Ti醤 Q� was convinced that she was evil.

　　In an effort to become good, Liu Ti醤 Q� began joining her mother when her mother went to volunteer at senior homes, shelters, veteran centers, and the many other places her mother volunteered. Liu Ti醤 Q� helped people she saw in need whenever she could. She did many good deeds and always tried to be as kind as possible. Many mistakenly thought she was naive or weak. Liu Ti醤 Q� preferred people to think that way then for the evil in her to become unleashed.

　　No, she didn`t become a saint; she still had a temper and didn`t believe in repaying the evil with good. However, at her young age, Liu Ti醤 Q� had thought that if he became a better person, the evil in her would go away.

　　However, after Liu Ti醤 Q�`s paternal grandmother died at the age of fourteen. Liu Ti醤 Q� lost the balance that she struggled to maintain, and things got very bad. Twice she almost killed people, the evil in her was hungry. Correction, the darkness in her, was starving and wanted to devour all.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� knew all of her control was gone. She had no choice but to seek help, so she spoke to the Tibetan hermit concerning her problem. Liu Ti醤 Q� would never understand how the Tibetan hermit knew what was wrong with her.

　　The hermit never fully explained to Liu Ti醤 Q� what was wrong with her. Nor didn`t Liu Ti醤 Q� ever figured out how he managed to convince her parents to allow him to take her into hermitage, her parents were very protective of her.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� had sworn the hermit into secrecy. She didn`t want her parents to know exactly what was wrong with her.

　　She had changed drastically, so her parents knew that something was wrong. But no matter how they tried to compel her wouldn`t tell them exactly what was wrong.

　　However, with the permission of her parents, the hermit and Liu Ti醤 Q� retreated to a hidden temple deep in the mountain that strangely enough was not very far from her family`s country estate. The hermit isolated Liu Ti醤 Q� in a detached part of the temple away from everyone and all distractions. With the help of the Tibetan hermit, Liu Ti醤 Q� finally began to regain control of herself. It took approximately six months before Liu Ti醤 Q� was stable enough to come down the mountain and return home.

　　When she was sixteen, an incident happened. Liu Ti醤 Q� had got very angry over a situation. She had lost control of the darkness in her and almost hurt someone. Fortunately, she had managed to get herself under control quickly. However, the Chinese monk who trained her had witnessed the whole incident.

　　After that incident, the Chinese monk`s attitude towards her changed, and he became very cold towards her. Liu Ti醤 Q� never forgot the look on the monk`s face when she asked him why he wasn`t teaching her anything new.

　　The monk straightforwardly told her that he would not teach someone with such darkness in them. The monk had broken Liu Ti醤 Q� young heart that day. The Chinese monk had been with her since she was three years old. He was like a second father to her. However, it had hurt Liu Ti醤 Q� that he didn`t see the good in her; he only saw the darkness.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q�`s love for Kung Fu died that day. Liu Ti醤 Q� had refused to practice Kung Fu anymore. She had turned her attention to other disciplines of martial arts. Shortly after that, the monk left.

　　The Tibetan hermit was different though, he had stayed for a few more years and helped Liu Ti醤 Q�. Somehow the Tibetan hermit was able to help her put the darkness in her to sleep. By the age of nineteen, Liu Ti醤 Q� was fully able to express and experience extreme emotion without the darkness in her awakening.

　　When Liu Ti醤 Q� first reincarnated to an ancient time. She was very afraid when she realized that in the ancient era she reincarnated into, she was going to have to build a closer relationship with death. One of the reasons was because of the darkness hidden in her. The other reason was, other than the death of her grandmother. She never had much exposure to death in her past life.

　　Even though she had learned to control herself, she knew what was hidden deep inside her, so she was terrified. However, when she couldn`t feel the darkness in her, and the darkness never stirred after expressing extreme emotion. Liu Ti醤 Q� thought she had left the darkness behind when she reincarnated.

　　However, when she got enraged concerning the prison of decomposed bodies that were discovered under her Residence, she felt it stir for the first time. But, Liu Ti醤 Q� was in denial, so she chalked it down to her imagination.

　　However, she could no longer remain in denial when it presented itself when her fury with the Queen awoke it.

　　Now with the strange, beautiful, unearthly man, it wanted to come out and play.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� looked at the strange, beautiful, unearthly man and said baldly in terror, "I`m not your daughter. Your daughter died."

　　"I know," the man replied, shocking Liu Ti醤 Q� speechless and stealing her focus.

　　In complete utter shock, Liu Ti醤 Q�`s wide eyes connected with the gaze of the strange man. The last thing she saw was the cruel, ruthless cunning smile that graced his face as she was sucked out of the void.

　　A strange look appeared on the face of the strange man. The strange man`s eyes had fallen on the body that was left behind as he turned to leave. What he saw gave him great pause.

　　Coming to a decision, the man turned towards the body and quickly performed an ancient ritual over the body consisting of several incantations and gestures. Soul rattling power filled the void as the strange man performed the ancient ritual.

　　Behind his eyelids, his eyes flashed several colors. The energy in the void flashed chaotically before turning sublime.

　　The pressure in the void built as the body flashed in and out of existence serval times. A gold aura poured into the body from the body of the strange man. The void turned a golden color and solidified second before exploding under the force of the pressure and energy that filled the void. Oddly enough, the explosion did not harm the body. If one looked closely, one could see the chest of the body moving up and down.

　　By the time the strange man finished the ancient ritual, blood poured from his nose. His skin was pasty white, sweat-drenched his clothing, and he appeared visually drained of all strength and energy.

　　He looked down at the body once more before he flashed out of the void, disappearing in thin air.
