The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 709 - 287 This Time It’s Swindler Again (3)

In the script obtained by He Tiantian, Jia Jing was not overly interpreted, he was simply obsessed with the pursuit of immortality.

Becoming a scholar was just to give an explanation to the family, to prove that he had once contributed to the family.

Having achieved the title of Scholar demonstrated that the people of the Jia family could switch from military to civil pursuits, and he had also provided a son for Ningguo’s Mansion, thus fulfilling his mission.

Therefore, he willingly handed over his title and position as the clan leader to his son, and went off to pursue his own dreams.

Engrossed in alchemy, dreaming of immortality, he neglected his entire family for his own sake, allowing his descendants to engage in misconduct and ignoring the misdeeds of his relatives.

Even if Jia Jing was not a villain, he was hardly a selfless good person.

Yet He Tiantian was quite satisfied with this setting, because a person with flaws offers more room for development.

To say something not afraid of being challenged for her values, having played villains often, He Tiantian actually began to enjoy playing the villain.

Nothing else, just one word: Thrilling!

"Mission world activated!"

The mechanical voice of Student Xiao D reverberated deep within the sea of consciousness.

He Tiantian felt the space before her eyes distort, and then, she arrived in a completely new world.

This was a side room in a Taoist temple, with wisps of smoke rising from a purple copper incense burner. Sunlight filtered through the gauze windows, enlivening the tranquil room.

He Tiantian found her body seated cross-legged on a cushion, holding a horsetail whisk.

"..." He Tiantian instinctively swallowed because she felt her "own" mouth was dry.

Considering that the original owner was obsessed with cultivation, spending days meditating and reciting scriptures.

Before He Tiantian’s arrival, presumably, she was reciting scriptures, which was why she felt parched.

He Tiantian put down the whisk, slowly stretched her legs, pressed a few acupoints, and relieved the swollen and numb muscles from prolonged sitting.

After a moment, He Tiantian gradually adapted to this somewhat frail body, she resumed her seated position, and began to practice Junior Master Uncle’s Unlimited Decision.

Indeed, it was a mythological ancient-style novel. The world of the Red Building had immortals and ghosts, so this fan-fiction-derived small world was filled with spiritual energy.

He Tiantian nodded in satisfaction, having spiritual energy was good!

She no longer continued reciting the useless scriptures of the original owner, but instead wholeheartedly practiced the Unlimited Decision.

"Whew!"

He Tiantian breathed out a long breath of stale air and exclaimed once more, "As expected of the Red Mansion world, with abundant spiritual energy, cultivation is particularly smooth."

In just an hour’s time, He Tiantian had already taken in energy and cultivated spiritual power within her body.

However, this body of Jia Jing had aged, and over the years, had consumed various chaotic elixirs, accumulating too much impurities and toxins within.

Without conditioning the body well, she couldn’t fully clear her meridians, her cultivation, even with a good technique and high comprehension, was still half as effective.

He Tiantian started merging with the original owner’s memory, actually, there wasn’t much to merge.

For a tool character who appeared less than three times, the author’s setting for him was, studying in youth, cultivating in middle age, and dying from drugs in old age.

Thus, the information He Tiantian received from the original owner was limited, perhaps the only useful piece was that in this fan fiction world, Jia Xichun’s mother was one of Jia Jing’s concubines.

Only, during childbirth, there was a difficult labor, and between mother and daughter, only Jia Xichun survived.

Madam Jia pitied Xichun, who was motherless from birth, and her father was unreliable.

At that time, Jia Zhen’s original wife was ill and couldn’t care for her sister-in-law, so Madam Jia decided to take Xichun into her own care.

Later, when Jia Zhen remarried Lady You, Jia Xichun, already remembering her prior life, was reluctant to leave Madam Jia.

Moreover, without the discipline of her own father, Jia Zhen became increasingly unruly, and Lady You, as a lower-born step-wife, hardly dared to admonish him.

Ningguo’s Mansion was in turmoil, and already there were many unfavorable rumors outside.

As an older ancestor from another family line, Madam Jia, although an elder, also could not interfere too much.

Especially since Jia Zhen was the clan leader of the Jia family, Madam Jia couldn’t dictate in Ningguo’s Mansion.

Moreover, frankly speaking, Madam Jia hadn’t managed her own sons well, so what right did she have to teach her grand-nephews?!

Madam Jia, reluctant to meddle in the affairs of Ningguo’s Mansion and worried about Xichun, continued to keep her at Duke Rong’s Mansion.

As for Jia Jing, neglecting even his own sons and grandsons, there was even less need to mention a daughter he had barely seen.
