Transmigrated into the Early-Deceased Alpha Fiancée of the Female Lead (GL) - Chapter 17

Zhu Changxuan thought seriously for a moment. Han Xuejin had always wanted to go to the Demon Realm, so she said,
“I’ve made up my mind. I want to go to the Demon Realm.”

Rather than worrying about where they would go, Zhu Shijing was more concerned about Zhu Changxuan’s safety.
“But the Demon Realm…”

Zhu Changxuan looked at Han Xuejin and said,
“You and Mother must have heard what happened at Xuantian Sect.”

Zhu Shijing nodded.
“Yes. That’s why we should return together and take care of it.”

Zhu Changxuan shook her head.
“That won’t be necessary. I trust Xuejin. Compared to Xuantian Sect, which wronged her, I’d rather go to the Demon Realm with her.”

Han Xuejin’s heart pounded. She felt shy and flustered by Zhu Changxuan’s words.

She had never been in a rush for revenge. What mattered most now was staying with Changxuan. There would be plenty of chances to settle scores in the future, and she didn’t want Changxuan to see the cruel side of her.

Hua Yue nodded and looked at Zhu Changxuan with admiration.

Zhu Shijing let out a sigh.
“Very well. Your mother and I will return to Xuantian Sect to handle the matters there. For everything Xuejin didn’t do, we will make sure her name is cleared.”

He then turned to Hua Yue and spoke seriously.
“Fellow cultivator Hua, my wife and I do not judge people by whether they are from the immortal or demon clans. But the truth is, the two paths have always been opposed. I have only heard fragments of your story with the Demon Lord. Now that I know it is all true, I admire you. Please take care of Changxuan in the Demon Realm.”

Hua Yue laughed.
“Of course. We are family now. No need to be so formal.”

With their decision made, everyone set out on their separate paths.

Back at Xuantian Sect, Lian Huazi returned and received a secret report from one of her most trusted aides. As she read it, rage filled her heart. She wanted nothing more than to tear Han Xuejin apart on the spot.

The report stated that Han Xuejin was from the Demon clan. Yet she was still getting along well with Zhu Changxuan. Worse, Zhu Shijing and his wife were already on their way back to the sect, likely because of Han Xuejin.

If they discovered that everything before had been Lian Huazi’s lies, then whether Han Xuejin was a demon or not, Lian Huazi’s downfall would be certain.

“That wretched woman! This is all your fault!”

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her eyes burned with fury. If she was going down, she would make sure Han Xuejin didn’t survive either.

She gathered her loyal first disciple, Mo Lingchuan, along with a few naive disciples who trusted her unconditionally. They pretended they were leaving on an official mission, but in truth, they were heading out to assassinate Han Xuejin.

Meanwhile, Sect Leader Dao Zhiming had overheard Lian Huazi’s plot. Quietly, he left Xuantian Sect and went to find Han Xuejin and the others.

If Han Xuejin really possessed some treasure that had caused her sudden increase in power, then when they were all fighting each other, he would step in and finish them off. The treasure would be his. He laughed to himself. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.

At that time, Han Xuejin was flying toward the Demon Realm on her sword. Zhu Changxuan rode behind her, while Hua Yue accompanied them.

Along the way, Hua Yue stared at Zhu Changxuan and asked with a puzzled look,
“Your spiritual roots are outstanding. Normally, your strength should be much greater than this.”

Zhu Changxuan looked embarrassed.
“Well, I…”

Han Xuejin frowned slightly and replied coldly to Hua Yue,
“This has nothing to do with you.”

Hua Yue fell silent. She thought to herself,
A daughter-in-law is like water thrown away. No, they are not even married yet and she’s already siding with her.

Suddenly, a dark cloud swept in and covered the three of them.

As Han Xuejin turned around to protect Zhu Changxuan, she was shocked to find that both Zhu Changxuan and Hua Yue had vanished. They were completely gone.

Panic overtook her. She called out anxiously,
“Changxuan! Changxuan!”

No one answered. Her lips turned pale. A chilling cold filled her eyes. For someone to make two people disappear without a sound, their power must be extraordinary.
If Changxuan was in danger…

Hua Yue found herself taken to a place filled with white mist. There was nothing around, and it was eerily silent. She stayed alert and watched all directions cautiously. To bring her to such a strange place so suddenly… whoever did this was not to be taken lightly.

Zhu Changxuan had been brought to a completely different space.

Standing before her was a modern-looking duplex villa. The style was unfamiliar and completely unlike the world she knew. She was stunned.

Suddenly, a deep voice echoed around her.
“Pretty girl, do you want power?”

Zhu Changxuan blinked in confusion.
“What… What did you say?”

Suppressing her fear, she followed the voice and responded,
“If I say yes, are you going to give me power?”

“Exactly.”

Zhu Changxuan frowned and asked cautiously,
“Why should I trust you? And what about the two people who were with me? What happened to them?”

The voice chuckled.
“Don’t worry. They’re fine. Look at this house. Don’t you understand? We are both transmigrators. I arrived here ten thousand years ago, when this world was just beginning to form.

Naturally, I became the first person to ascend in this world. I have long since left, but I left behind a fragment of my soul here, waiting for the next person destined to cross over.”

Zhu Changxuan’s eyes flickered with determination. She clenched her fists.
“I do want power. I really do.”

“Good.”

Suddenly, a pink object about thirty centimeters long appeared in front of her.

Zhu Changxuan’s face darkened.
“…”

“Excuse me, what exactly is this?”

A hearty laugh echoed from the void.
“It’s a magic wand! Don’t tell me you don’t know what it is!”

Zhu Changxuan took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.
“This… looks like an ordinary plastic stick.”

“Oh, stop it. This is a magic wand!” the voice replied in a playfully annoyed tone.

Zhu Changxuan was speechless.

“Come, come, let me show you how to use it. Oh wow, looking closely, your aptitude is actually quite impressive. You’ve got real talent. The technique goes like this… and then like this…”

Zhu Changxuan listened in complete silence, her face expressionless as she carefully memorized the instructions and chant.

“Alright, now I’ll give you the remaining power of my soul fragment. That way, your use of the magic wand will be even more natural and powerful.”

“Thank you.”

Immediately, Zhu Changxuan’s entire body began to glow. She felt spiritual energy flow through her effortlessly, as if it had no end. It was constant, boundless, and invigorating.

Still, she couldn’t help but complain.
“This is a cultivation world, isn’t it? And you’re teaching me… magic?”

“Well, they’re kind of the same thing.”

Zhu Changxuan fell silent.
No, they are very much not the same.

“Remember, when you use magic, you must shout the chant out loud.”

Zhu Changxuan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Holding the wand, which was already embarrassingly pink and cute, was bad enough. Now she had to…
“You expect me to shout that ridiculous chant?!”

“Hee hee, stop it. It’s not ridiculous. It’s adorable! Oh no, my time is almost up. I’ll send you all back now so you can reunite.”

Zhu Changxuan quickly stuffed the magic wand into her storage pouch, not wanting to look at it any longer.

“Thank you.”
