Chapter 2: Stripped Bare (1)

In the Lingyun Continent, numerous nations stood tall, with power reigning supreme.

Yet, she, the present her, had transmigrated into the body of a foolish eldest miss in the Li Kingdom's Founding Marquis Manor, sharing the same name and surname as herself.

But being foolish was one thing; to be a good-for-nothing without even the lowest rank of talent was another. Hence, the three characters "Ye Xiyao" became not only the shame of the entire Ye Family but also a blemish on the Li Kingdom and an object of ridicule across the Lingyun Continent.

Fortunately, the Ye Family was known for protecting their own, and they possessed sufficient strength. Back then, the family patriarch went as far as exerting his influence to force the Li King to issue an imperial edict for marriage, hoping that a marriage contract would deter others from bullying her due to her status. Unfortunately, Ye Xiyao's foundation was too weak, while Prince Xuan was exceptionally outstanding, causing some people to dislike her even more and wish for her swift elimination.

Just like the Shen sisters before her.

Like the Ye family, the Shen family was also an esteemed clan in the Li Kingdom. The eldest miss of the Shen family, Shen Feiyan, appeared pure and virtuous on the surface but was, in reality, malicious to the core. Today, upon seeing Ye Xiyao, she secretly followed behind and eventually seized the chance to corner Ye Xiyao here. Exploiting Shen Yunshuang's idiocy, she intended to beat Ye Xiyao to death.

Even after death, it seemed her hatred was not sated, as she planned to strip Ye Xiyao of her clothes and expose her corpse for public humiliation!

If Shen Feiyan succeeded, not only would Ye Xiyao's reputation be ruined, but the entire Ye family would be dragged through the mud!

However, the Ye Xiyao of this moment was no longer the foolish and useless girl from before; she was now a top-tier expert who had survived a decade of struggle in the post-apocalyptic world. In an instant, her sharp gaze turned as piercing as a blade. Seizing Shen Yunshuang's hand reaching out towards her, Ye Xiyao flung the girl away!

'A thud ——'

Suddenly, a muffled thud echoed through the air as the unsuspecting Shen Yunshuang was hurled bodily against the artificial mountain, promptly rendering her unconscious. In an instant, Ye Xiyao executed a nimble carp-leap, springing up from the ground, and with a swift, airborne kick, she aimed straight for Shen Feiyan's chest!

Having just arrived through transmigration, Ye Xiyao's movements were still somewhat awkward; she exerted all her strength, yet could only muster up less than three-tenths of it, which fortuitously allowed Shen Feiyan to narrowly escape death. Nonetheless, Shen Feiyan was still flung outward and, like Shen Yunshuang, collided with a decorative hill, ultimately rendering her unconscious.

Undeterred, Ye Xiyao leaped before Shen Feiyan and, lifting a stone, hurled it straight at her head!

This was the habit of survival for everyone in the apocalyptic era. There was no such thing as stopping halfway; it was either you die or I live!

However, it was only at the very moment when the rock in her hand was about to crash down onto Shen Feiyan that Ye Xiyao abruptly halted her action.

Almost forgot, this isn't the end of the world, it's the Lingyun Continent.

Currently, she was within the royal palace of the Li Kingdom. If she were to truly kill these two despicable women right now, who knew what consequences would ensue...

Ye Xiyao wasn't fearful; she merely found the situation somewhat troublesome. Moreover, wouldn't it be too lenient to simply kill these two women?

Recalling this, Ye Xiyao nonchalantly tossed the pebble she had been holding into a nearby patch of grass. She then cast a composed glance at the two women lying on the ground before reaching out once more, efficiently divesting them of their garments in a matter of moments.

Not even their undergarments were spared; she tugged them off and crumpled them into a ball, casually tossing them into the nearby lotus pond.

Satisfied, Ye Xiyao ceased her actions as she gazed at the two bare bodies lying on the ground before her.

Next, she surveyed her surroundings. Upon clearly seeing the vibrant array of flowers in full bloom, Ye Xiyao was utterly stunned.
