Upon opening her eyes, Xiang Kui realized that something was wrong.

Her mind was not working right...

No, it was more like, she felt that something was forcefully suppressing her memory and thinking.

But before Xiang Kui could think deeply, she felt her body lighten before it was thrown into the air towards the wall.

Bang!

’It’s painful!’

Xiang Kui opened her mouth, wanting to scream, yet nothing came out aside from dry cough. She crouched on the ground and looked at the young man in front of her, presumably a teenager around 15 to 16 years old.

"Hmph! Young miss, with such an ability, do you really think that you can pass the exam?" The young man said with a sneer. "Give up, Shang Kui. You’re nothing more than a useless young miss of the Shang Family."

Xiang Kui remained silent.

She could sense her body was trembling with both anger and frustration.

From the body’s feeling alone, Xiang Kui could guess that what the young man said should have been correct.

This ’Shang Kui’ is definitely someone who was truly known as the useless young miss of the Shang Family.

Why?

What happened?

Xiang Kui frowned deeply as she didn’t have enough information to form a complete chain of logic.

She could only stood up slowly and then looked at her hand.

There was a strange power inside her body, something that was both foreign yet familiar to her. It seemed that she could control it if she wanted to a certain degree, but there was something blocking the path of this power inside her body.

’Is this body poisoned, have blocked meridian, or have no talent?’ Xiang Kui closed her eyes slightly and sensed her body carefully.

Strange memories were infused forcefully into her brain, making her thought that it was her original memory.

But Xiang Kui was sure that she’s not Shang Kui.

Yet, she had to live as Shang Kui.

This Shang Kui is the eldest young miss of the Shang Family, currently 15 years old and at the age where she had to take examination to graduate and then started going out to do missions.

Graduate...

Xiang Kui looked at her hand helplessly.

This world is a magic world and not martial arts, so what’s important is a person’s mental energy instead of their meridian. Through their power of mind and imagination, magicians would be able to unleash various power.

Elemental, power control, illusion, weapon, or anything that they could think of.

The Shang Family was known for their strong mental power that was capable to see through all illusions and they also developed technique to be able to see through walls and other obstacles.

With this method, they controlled hidden weapons to strike through their enemies and was famous in the Magic World.

But Shang Kui...

It could be said that her mental power was not weak, but she was unable to control the hidden weapons and thus failing her practice over and over again.

This made Xiang Kui really unbearable.

Shang Kui is really weak!

So weak that it was unbelievable.

A gentle, weak, and useless young miss of a powerful magic family...

It would be a miracle if she didn’t end up being bullied in the end.

Xiang Kui’s temple throbbed when she thought about this, but before she could think deeper, the young man in front of her had already lost his patience. He stretched his hand and mental power enveloped Shang Kui’s body.

"Shang Kui! Pay attention when other people are speaking with you! If it’s not because of the Head’s order, I would not be wiling to go with you!" The young man shouted angrily.

Xiang Kui could feel suffocation as oxygen disappeared from around her.

Her expression changed slightly and she looked at the young man in front of her with murderous intent silently rising.

The young man in front of her is one of her cousins, Shang Su, the older brother of Shang Xiyue.

If Shang Kui is the useless young miss of the Shang Family, then Shang Xiyue is the genius of the Shang Family.

Shang Xiyue was only two months younger than Shang Kui, but her mental power was strong enough to cover up a large radius, making her unbeatable in close combat. Because she would be able to see everyone’s existence and made appropriate reaction to fight back.

The two of them were famous.

One was known as the genius and the other as the useless young miss.

And Shang Su is Shang Xiyue’s bratty younger twin brother who’s also a young genius. His own fame was covered up by Shang Xiyue’s presence, but he never thought that it was a bad thing.

Instead, Shang Su is proud of Shang Xiyue.

It was inconceivable how the two siblings who should have been competing against each other ended up supporting each other instead. And Sheng Su always took it for granted that he’s weaker than Shang Xiyue.

As Xiang Kui’s killing intent was about to materialize, a bright red warning screen appeared in front of her.

[Warning! OOC value: 14%]

The warning screen seemed to have doused a cold water on Xiang Kui’s head.

Even though there was no pain or other warning that was given to her, Xiang Kui seemed to understand that she should listen to the words on the screen.

Scattered images and memory appeared in her mind, making her already painful head hurt even more.

But with this, Xiang Kui seemed to know.

She’s in a mission.

In this missions, she has become Shang Kui and had to play in accordance to Shang Kui’s personality and ability. But her decision could deviate from what Shang Kui had done in order to avoid the brutal and painful ending that she suffered from.

And the last thing that Xiang Kui remembered was the system saying that the next world’s arrangement would be a bit different as in Xiang Kui would have her memory suppressed and the system couldn’t help her.

Xiang Kui: "..."

It’s time for her to prepare how to roast a system when she get back.
