Volume 1: First Encounter and Emotion Chapter 1: First Encounter
At the entrance of Fangcheng Station, people of all kinds were coming and going.
In this flow of people, no one paid attention to the inconspicuous little girl on the roadside.
The little girl looks to be about ten years old, with long black hair tied back on her head, and pink cheeks that make people want to kiss her.
The little girl's behavior and demeanor all reveal a somewhat noble and distinctive temperament, just like an aristocratic lady in a Western country.
The little girl's eyes looked a bit deep and confused.
"beep--"
"beep--"
Suddenly the phone she was holding in one hand vibrated.
The little girl glanced at the phone number above, hesitated for a moment and finally clicked to answer.
The voice on the other end of the phone can be vaguely heard.
"Miss, where are you now!?"
The little girl had unusual determination in her eyes: "I won't go back!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment: "Miss, you might as well go out for a while now. I'll pick you up after I solve the family problems!"
The little girl seemed not to have heard these words at all.
The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds and continued: "Miss, don't blame me. The Mu Group is my hard work. And you are the future of the Mu family and the Mu Group..."
The determination in the little girl's eyes slowly turned into loneliness and sadness.
Her tone was mixed with far-fetchedness and disappointment: "Does father only have eyes for the Mu family?"
The other end of the phone paused and quickly changed the subject: "Miss... where are you now?"
The little girl seemed to already know the answer, her voice was a bit desperate.
She shouted hysterically: "Even if I am not the eldest daughter of the Mu family, I can still live well!"
After saying that, the little girl hung up the phone, walked to the trash can next to her in two or three steps, and threw the phone in her hand into the trash can without hesitation.
This series of behaviors seems to be venting.
This little girl's name is: Mu Mengzi, she is the eldest daughter of the Mu family in Kyoto, and the sole heir to the Mu family and the Mu family group.
As the sole heir of the Mu family and the Mu Group, Mu Mengzi did not have a childhood that belonged to her since she was a child, and there was only deceit around her.
From the time she can remember, she has lived in a family that has no warmth.
She has been learning various business knowledge, etiquette, musical instruments, etc. since she was a child.
Her father was even more harsh on her, as if he wanted to cultivate Mu Mengzi into a perfect and omnipotent heir!
But Mu Mengzi is not a puppet, she is just a child...
For a long time, Mu Mengzi was overwhelmed by the expectations and infighting of her father and everyone in the family, but she didn't have a single complaint in her heart.
But on her tenth birthday, just a few days ago.
Something happened to the Mu family.
The other branches of the Mu family want to compete for their father's position as the head of the family, causing chaos in the Mu family.
She was originally going to be sent to another place by her father to escape.
But Mu Mengzi, who grew up in an environment of intrigue and intrigue, knew in her heart that she might have been considered an outcast by the Mu family.
When she was arranged to leave Kyoto, she quietly got into another car.
Later, Mu Mengzi came to Fangcheng.
The Mu family was in chaos at this time, and no one paid too much attention to the whereabouts of a child.
After Mu Mengzi received this call, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with the Mu family.
…………
Fangcheng is about two hundred kilometers away from Kyoto.
But Mu Mengzi knew very well that when the chaos in the Mu family calmed down, it would be a matter of time before the Mu family's influence could find her traces.
Although she is an abandoned child, she is still the eldest daughter of the Mu family, so she still plays a certain role.
There was a look of disappointment that was hard to conceal on Mu Mengzi's young cheeks.
Looking at this strange city, she felt very lonely and scared.
But compared with the loneliness she felt at Mu's house, this loneliness made her feel much more at ease.
After Mu Mengzi's thoughts wandered for a moment, he turned around and took out a map from the bag behind his back.
This was what she had prepared early in the morning.
On the map, there is a location marked by Mu Mengzi with a red pen. There are three words marked on the map - Heian Temple!
That’s right, the next place Mu Mengzi is going to is the temple!
Mu Mengzi has been extremely smart since she was a child. When she was planning to escape from the control of the Mu family, she had already thought about how to avoid the large-scale search by the Mu family's branches and her father.
She wants to hide in a temple!
Mu Mengzi believes: No one would have thought that a child would hide in a temple!
Thinking of this, Mu Mengzi quickly got up and set off for Heian Temple.
…………
At night.
There is still a rugged mountain road before heading to the foot of Heianji Temple.
The moonlight cast down with a bit of coldness, and the shadows of leaves danced on the stone steps.
On the dim mountain road, a thin body walked slowly forward.
This is exactly Mu Mengzi!
Mu Mengzi is still just a child anyway, and this is the first time she has experienced this.
Facing this dark mountain road, how could she not be afraid as a child?
Mu Mengzi hugged the small school bag behind her tightly, gritted her silver teeth stubbornly, and moved forward slowly with the help of the weak light of the cool moon.
As Mu Mengzi walked, she kept comforting herself in her heart.
But her trembling little body declared the fear in her heart.
"Si!"
"Si!"
Suddenly, a sound like an animal's whisper came from the nearby trees.
Mu Mengzi's thin body trembled and her whole body tensed up. She tightened her body and stared at the side with fear in her eyes.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
The weak voice changed and became louder, as if something was rushing towards her.
Mu Mengzi's helpless little body kept retreating, and her eyes were closed tightly.
The next second, a strong wind blew, and Mu Mengzi felt something rush to her side!
She immediately thought of wild beasts or something.
But when she opened her eyes, what she saw was not a wild beast.
It's a monster with an eagle's head and horns on top of its head!
The monster's scarlet eyes looked down greedily at the frightened Mu Mengzi.
Mu Mengzi couldn't think anymore. She didn't know what was in front of her. It was human or not, ghost or not - it was a complete monster!
Mu Mengzi's heart was filled with fear at this moment.
The eagle-headed and horned monster made a series of strange noises.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
The sound was very similar to a baby's cry, but in the monster's mouth it was a bit hoarse, like dead wood rubbing against each other.
The monster with its eagle-headed head and horns oozed thick and foul-smelling liquid from its mouth, and it uttered human words: "Jie Jie, you are such a smart little baby, it must be delicious!"
As it spoke, it opened its sharp carved mouth and tore away at Mu Mengzi, who was already frightened.
Watch the bloody mouth come down.
Mu Mengzi could already feel the hot breath coming out of the monster's mouth, as well as the smell of blood that made her feel sick to her stomach.
Seeing that his thin body was about to be torn apart by this monster.
At this time, a little boy shouted: "The evildoer has not yet subdued his law!"
I saw a boy who was half a head taller than Mu Mengxi rushing towards the monster with a long black sword in his hand.
Mu Mengzi looked blankly at the figure rushing out, her mind went blank, she had forgotten what to do, she just stared blankly.
When the eagle-headed monster saw the little boy, he stared at the running black sword with fear and growled: "I spared your life, but you dare to chase after me!"
The strength of the sword in the little boy's hand continued unabated: "I won't kill you yet!"
"Pah! Pah!"
"Dang! Dang!"
…………
The boy fought with the monster.
Don't underestimate that little boy, he can't beat that monster in a fight, and even vaguely outperforms that monster.
The monster is at a disadvantage. If it continues like this, I'm afraid he will be killed.
It turned its hand and directly picked up Jina's Mu Mengzi, and then threw him towards the boy.
"ah!"
Mu Mengzi exclaimed.
When she came back to her senses, she felt like the world was spinning, and then she saw a black sword running toward her.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Mengzi felt a stabbing pain in her chest, numbness and coldness came over her.
And the monster disappeared into the woods at that moment.
When the boy saw that he had pierced the little girl's chest with his sword, a look of panic appeared in his eyes.
He hugged Mu Mengzi in panic and said in an extremely anxious voice: "You, you... don't die!"
At this time, Mu Mengzi felt that it was difficult to breathe, her body slowly became weak and light, her hands and feet felt like they had invaded the ice water, and the ice kept coming.
Mu Mengzi thought: Is she going to die now?
For a moment, she regretted it!
I regret being born in the Mu family, I regret having such a heartless father, I regret coming to this world...
She looked at the little boy in front of her who was anxious and ready to cry with her dull eyes.
There was no resentment in her heart, and the boy's face was deeply imprinted in her mind.
At this moment, she just hopes to be born in an ordinary family in her next life...
Mu Mengzi didn't know whether she was dead or not.
In a daze, I heard the boy's anxious voice ringing in my ears: "Sister Little Rabbit, please save her..."
A nice voice sounded: "Little bastard, Sister Little Rabbit screams so nicely when I ask for help! Why don't I usually see you scream so nicely!?"
The boy was so anxious that he almost cried: "Sister Little Rabbit!"
"Hey, little bastard, remember, when you grow up, you will call me my wife!"
"Save...save her!"
"You little bastard, remember it! But it's not impossible to save her. The price is your memory. After all, she is not worth remembering..."
…………
Then Mu Mengzi lost consciousness and passed out.
In her sleep, she felt that her whole body was wrapped in the warm sunshine, feeling very comfortable and warm, just like her mother's embrace.
She didn't know how long she had been addicted to this warm feeling, but suddenly the pain in her chest woke her up.
Mu Mengzi suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in a room filled with incense.
She wanted to get up, but the pain in her chest forced her to lie down obediently.
Mu Mengzi had never experienced anything like this before, and she was not happy after the disaster.
Instead, her heart was filled with grievance and fear, and she couldn't help crying.
This was the first time she had cried so sadly since she could remember. Even when she was under great pressure in the Mu family, she had never cried like this before.
Mu Mengzi is just a child, so it's good that she didn't get frightened after going through all this.
She buried herself under the quilt to vent her anger for who knows how long, and finally got tired of crying.
After Mu Mengzi stopped, a soft voice sounded: "It's okay if you cry!"
Mu Mengzi was startled and turned around, only to see a beautiful woman sitting not far away.
Mu Mengzi swallowed more, quickly wiped her tears and said: "What, what place is this? Who are you?"
The woman not far away smiled and said: "Little girl, this is Taoism..."
"It's a place that specializes in managing monsters. My name is Jiang Qin."
Mu Mengzi looked at her and was stunned, monster!?
Of course she knows what monsters are, but they are just folklore!
But recalling what happened last night, Mu Mengzi also began to doubt whether there really were monsters in this world!
The woman named Jiang Qin not far away smiled and said: "Little girl, do you choose to stay in the Tao family or go back to your Mu family?"
Mu Mengzi's thoughts were interrupted. When she heard her mention the Mu family, there was horror in her little eyes.
Facing Mu Mengzi's gaze, the smile on Jiang Qin's cheeks did not diminish at all, and she also looked disapproving.
Mu Mengzi was silent for a moment and slowly uttered a few words: "I, I want to stay, I don't want to go back..."
