Feng Yun.
That's the na Ling Feng'er chose for herself.
The reason was pretty simple. It was made from the last nas of herself and her biggest enemy, Ye Tian Yun.
And to take down this enemy, she wanted to go to the Lower Heavens.
Everything was almost set, but just when she was about to leave, her father stopped her.
He wanted to speak about sothing very urgent.
And when she visited him, her father told her she wasn't allowed to go alone.
This annoyed her quite a lot; after all, she didn't wish anyone else to know about her true intentions.
She hadn't even told her father why she wanted to go to the Lower Heavens.
Finally, her father, Heavenly King Ling, couldn't hold back and said she would fall in love with soone with no status.
"That will never happen." She replied. She was confident in herself that she would never fall for anyone this ti.
Life wasn't a ga for her anymore. She had a goal now, and she wanted to accomplish it.
Love and romance were re distractions.
But Heavenly King Ling didn't agree.
"This always happens," He argued, "The high-status girl falls for the lower status boy. You're already engaged, and this engagent is very important for us. It's important not only for our clan but for the whole Middle Heavens."
"But father, what about ?" Her heartfelt heavy, "Father, why don't you ask what I want?"
"Ling'er," Her father replied with a sigh, "If things were under my control, I wouldn't have forced you in such a predicant."
"Is it the Emperor?" She asked, "Is he forcing our clan, or is it the Crown Prince?"
"It's soone who's even more powerful." He replied, "And that person is our enemy. He's the sole reason why even after all the things Emperor Ye has done, I am still with him."
"Who is it, father?" She asked, "At least tell who it is."
"I can't," Heavenly King Ling felt helpless, "The enemy will know about you if you know about him."
"You can't tell anything at all?"
"I can only say this: This marriage is very important. It's not about our relationship with the Ye Clan, but it's about your relationship with the Crown Prince."
"With the Crown Prince?" She frowned, "What if I don't want to marry him? What if I don't want to marry anyone?"
"This can't happen," Heavenly King Ling let out a sigh, "No one here has a choice. Trust ; even the Crown Prince wanted to break off this marriage."
"What!?" Ling Feng'er's breathing quickened, "He wanted to… break off the marriage?"
"Yes," Heavenly King Ling pursed his lips, "Emperor Ye personally told about this."
"I thought you both were not on speaking terms?" She frowned. She doubted her father's claim.
"That was past." Heavenly King Ling let out another sigh, "The matters are very complicated. This marriage is not sothing out of a whim. It's a decision we ca to after ten years or extensive research and analysis."
"Ten years… really?"
"I am not joking." Heavenly King chuckler self-mockingly, "The enemy we face is the most powerful existence. Marriage is the key to holding that person back."
"It's hard to believe," She frowned, "I can't help but think that you're just spouting nonsense to give this marriage alliance a aning."
"I am not." Heavenly King Ling pursed his lips, "If things were under my control, I would have let you beco the next Clan Head and let you take our clan to great heights. But fate has different plans."
"How many years do I have?" Ling Feng'er asked. She was angry and frustrated.
Life would have been much easier if the marriage was canceled.
She would have then wholeheartedly pursued her enemy.
But if her enemy was bound to be her husband, then she had only one way.
'I need to kill him before we get married.'
In her previous life, she was so madly in love with the Crown Prince that she didn't even bother to ask the reason behind the marriage.
She felt as if she was the luckiest girl in the whole world.
"Two years." She frowned upon hearing this.
The Crown Prince had postponed the marriage to the day he sat on the Heavenly Throne in her previous life.
'Will it is postponed this ti too?' She wondered.
But the most noteworthy thing was that two years were not enough.
Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun would beco unmatched in his generation after two years.
She had to get him before that.
'It will take three to four months alone to reach the Lower Heavens.'
"Father, who is the person you want to send with a guard?"
"Ah, finally you understand, "Heavenly King Ling smiled, "It will be Old Ma. He will secretly guard you as long as you're in the Lower Heavens."
"Hmm." She nodded.
That evening, she left the MiddLe Heavens, embarking on her adventure in the Lower Heavens.
The journey only took a few hours since she was with Old Ma, a Saint Realm expert.
And as fate would have it, she encountered a caravan being ambushed.
She wouldn't have minded if it was a normal caravan, but there was a familiar person in the carriage.
The son of Butler Liu of Crown Prince Ye.
Jun Xie.
'I should get acquainted with him.'
And thus, she asked Old Ma to kill the ambushing assassins and save the caravan.
After that, she joined the caravan and finished her mission.
Unfortunately, she had one problem.
Her social skills aren't that great.
After joining the carriage, and even though she sat in the sa carriage with Jun Xie, there was hardly any exchange except for a few formal greetings.
Fast forward a few hours, and she separated from the group and was now in the Purple Spring Garden with Ling Yun - a very talented boy from her Branch Clan.
She wanted to nurture Ling Yun into a powerful Array Master and get acquainted with Jun Xie, who had the talent to beco the most powerful Alchemist.
These two were essentials and her first targets.
With her extensive knowledge of Alchemy and Array Formations, it wasn't hard for her to make these two worship her.
Ling Yun was already worshipping and talking to her like a student.
Jun Xie was the next target, and she could be considered lucky because she encountered him once again here in the Purple Spring Garden.
But there was one problem.
She had used up all her luck in this.
Because there was soone with Jun Xie.
Soone with whom she was very familiar.
Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun.
Her mortal enemy appeared in front of her out of nowhere.
She couldn't believe her own eyes.
'Why is he here?'
She kept asking herself.
'Why is he with Jun Xie?'
'How do both of them know each other?'
'If they knew each other in my previous life, then why did Jun Xie hate Ye Tian Yun so much?'
'What the hell is going on?'
The Crown Prince was standing right in front of her.
The sa face! The sa aura! The sa voice! The sa smile!
She didn't need to take a second look for confirmation.
It was indeed him!
However, there was even a bigger problem.
She didn't have a single thought of killing him!
Rather, she wanted to talk to him.
'That's the opposite of killing!'
'He's my enemy! He's my enemy! He's my enemy….'
She repeated this in her mind again and again.
Her heart felt heavy, and no word ca out of her mouth.
Even her thoughts were disarrayed.
But it didn't last long.
Things returned to normal when she heard the Crown Prince say.
"Thank you for these."
She raised her, regretting she hadn't said a single worth.
'No, that's the wrong regret!'
She regretted that she didn't kill him right now?
'Yes. Now you got it right.'
She stared at his disappearing back.
But then she noticed sothing else.
Jun Xie wasn't leaving with him.
'Is the burger not for Jun Xie?' She frowned.
'Why does he need a second burger?'
She understood the Crown Prince very well, and he was not a glutton.
Suddenly she noticed sothing, and this shocked her even more.
To be more specific, it angered her even more.
The Crown Prince brought the burger for so unknown girl!
'Who is she?'
She wanted to know imdiately!
'He never even smiled at , and he's bringing sothing to eat for her!'
A very familiar welled up in her heart.
Jealousy.
Sothing she was sure she wouldn't feel even again.
'Was it because of that girl he never looked at ?'
She couldn't help but think.
It was a natural thought process.
'Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun... '
She closed her eyes, and upon opening them again, a more strengthened will ford in her eyes.
'....I will kill both of you.'
She now had two mortal enemies.
And she wasn't the only one who was angry.
For so reason, the masked girl behind the stall was angry too.
And she was giving a death stare to Ye Tian Yun.
'He's getting married in a month, yet he's flirting with soone!'
The masked girl felt disappointed.
'Is this how the Crown Prince is?'
She couldn't help but sigh.
"The new life is going to be hard."
She closed her eyes and let out a sigh.
'I shouldn't be angry. To him, this marriage ans nothing since he's just in disguise.'
Unbeknownst to Ye Tian Yun, he had disappointed the two won who would one day beco the most important parts of his life.
