Chapter 256 The Original Owner's Memories

"Life and death have their own laws, and fortune and misfortune are all in one's own hands." She repeated this sentence softly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the scene before them suddenly changed.

She felt as if she had been dragged into an unfamiliar space by an invisible force.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a hazy mist.

I walked forward cautiously, trying to find an exit.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, and the fog gradually dissipated, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar scene before her—the original owner's childhood home.

She saw a young girl sitting alone in the corner of the room, her eyes filled with endless sorrow and loneliness.

The girl's figure was so real that you could almost feel the pain in her heart.

She approached the girl, wanting to comfort her, but found herself unable to touch her.

Just then, the girl looked up and met her gaze.

At that moment, she seemed to see the original owner of this body as a child.

The scene shifts, and she follows the little girl to a beautiful garden.

The garden is filled with colorful flowers, and birds sing merrily in the branches.

The little girl ran and played among the flowers, her face beaming with a happy smile.

However, when she stopped to gaze at a withered flower, her smile vanished instantly, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

What happened? She so wanted to reach out and comfort the little girl, but she couldn't touch her.

She followed the little girl closely, passing through several winding paths, and finally arrived at the foot of a courtyard wall.

The courtyard wall wasn't very high, but it seemed somewhat insurmountable for the little girl.

The little girl was seen gripping the edge of the courtyard wall tightly with both hands, struggling to climb upwards, and it looked like she was having a lot of trouble.

However, such a height was a piece of cake for Li Xi.

She easily leaped up and stood on the courtyard wall, looking to the other side.

On the other side of the courtyard wall is a spacious training ground.

The courtyard was filled with children of all ages, both boys and girls.

They all stood with their legs apart, firmly planted in a horse stance.

Sweat dripped down their foreheads, soaking their clothes, but no one dared to slack off or be lazy in the slightest.

Among the group of children, a middle-aged man dressed in smart training clothes stood out.

He was about forty years old, with a steady gait and a serious expression, as he looked back and forth over the hardworking children.

His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, not missing a single detail, as if searching for any shortcomings.

The whole scene was filled with a tense and focused atmosphere. Some children were about to give up, but they gritted their teeth and persevered.

The little girl looked on with envy. Just as Li Xi was wondering what was going on, someone suddenly appeared behind her.

This person had a graceful figure and a beautiful face, and was gazing at the little girl.

She sighed softly, "Xiao Xi, come down."

The little girl was helplessly taken down by the maid beside the woman, her eyes revealing a hint of disappointment and resentment.

Li Xi then realized that it was the original owner's mother.

The original owner's mother gently stroked the little girl's soft hair, her eyes filled with love and helplessness.

She said gently, "I know you want to practice martial arts, but I'm not letting you practice for your own good."

The little girl was immediately unhappy when she heard this.

She pouted and said indignantly, "Why can't I learn? My little sister Qiao'er is even younger than me, and she can learn! It must be because Grandpa hates me that he won't let me learn martial arts! Waaah..."

In the end, the little girl couldn't help but cry, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string.

Seeing this, the mother hugged the little girl tightly and comforted her, "Little Xi, it's not that Grandpa dislikes you, but your health isn't good and you're not suitable for martial arts. We should listen to the doctor and take good care of your health. It won't be too late for you to learn when you're older and stronger."

The little girl was still sobbing. She looked up at her mother through her teary eyes and asked, "Really? Mom, can I really learn it later?" Her mother nodded and gave the little girl an affirmative smile.

The little girl finally stopped crying and smiled. She hugged her mother tightly and said sweetly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Mom. But I'll work hard to get stronger, so that when I'm healthy, I can learn martial arts like my little sister Qiao'er!"

She smiled and patted the little girl's head, her eyes full of affection.

Li Xi understood her mother's concerns. The original owner's mother was from an ancient clan, which seemed to be because the original owner had also inherited the martial arts talent of the ancient clan.

If the original owner had practiced martial arts, her talent would have inevitably caused turmoil in the martial arts world, leading to a series of troubles.

Perhaps the original owner's parents hoped that she would be an ordinary person.

But who could have imagined that they would be massacred so soon, on New Year's Eve, a day meant for family reunion?

The Li family's house was reduced to ruins after that night, drawing sighs from many and even alarming the entire Jingyuan.

But after so many years, the Li family has naturally not yet reached the day of their passing.

Li Xi often felt frustrated. If it were the original owner of this body, she probably would have already taken revenge. But she herself often fell into a coma due to qi deviation.

She's just a modern person, a bookworm earning a meager salary of three thousand a month.

Even though he had learned a lot from his master, he had only been in Jingyuan for a little over a year.

How did she resist the evil forces lurking in the darkness?

If only this were a dream, I could wake up and return to the modern world to continue being a wage slave earning 3,000 yuan a month.

In her dream, Li Xi lost track of time. Here, she didn't need to sleep or eat; she could only follow the little girl.

Gradually, Li Xi realized that these were the original owner's lost memories.

In this dream, she relives the original owner's childhood.

It seems that most of the time, the original owner's childhood was filled with laughter and happiness.

The parents were full of love and care for their child, surrounding the original owner with endless warmth and love.

The grandparents doted on each of their grandchildren as if they were the apple of their eye.

The father and his brothers were very close and supportive of each other, while the sisters-in-law also lived in harmony and treated each other with respect.

This wonderful family atmosphere is exactly what Li Xi dreamed of but could never obtain in her previous life.

For several days in a row, Li Xi did not wake up.

Meng Zhelan's mood became increasingly depressed, and she even refused when Prince An sent someone to invite her to come to her home for a medical consultation.

Prince Jing brought many precious medicinal herbs, but they were of little use to Li Xi. He felt even more guilty; if it weren't for her, he would probably have already entered the cycle of reincarnation.

But there's nothing he can do to help now, so he volunteered to go to Baichuan Academy to urge Luo Yun...
