Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Duke’s Heir VS The Underdog Female Supporting Character (Part 1)
Gu Shengyin opened her eyes once again and found herself back in that pure white space.
She stretched out her hand, which was fair, soft, and full of vitality, not the wrinkled pale hands she had in the previous world.
Cheng Xizhi had no regrets in her life, even at the end, she passed away in the arms of the person she loved most.
Thinking of Yuan Xu, a smile unconsciously formed on the corners of Gu Shengyin’s mouth.
“System, can you now tell me who Yuan Xu really is?” Gu Shengyin asked.
She wasn’t foolish, understanding that a person who could reincarnate with her across different worlds couldn’t possibly be an ordinary person.
However, the all-knowing system stumbled this time: “Unable to find any information on the target Yuan Xu… Unable to find any information on the target Ji Yu…”
Gu Shengyin was genuinely surprised this time. She knew the system would not lie; if it didn’t want to tell her, it would usually say, “Sorry, host authority is insufficient, unable to inform.”
If the system said it couldn’t find out, it meant it truly didn’t know what kind of existence her lover was.
Gu Shengyin was also very curious, what kind of identity could someone have to remain undetected by even the system?
At this moment, the system spoke: “Host, would you like to rest for a while or proceed to the next mission world?”
Gu Shengyin chose to execute the mission without hesitation, eager to meet her lover.
This time the mission world was a Western magical world, filled with ordinary people, as well as swordsmen, mages, and demon beasts led by a Giant Dragon.
The female protagonist of this world was the primary heir to the duchy of the Carter Empire.
As the heir to the Duke of White Rose’s mansion, Veronica Roman was a born Swordswoman. At her Baptism, she was tested by the Archbishop at the time to have “a God-like talent” and was personally taken as his protégée.
Veronica’s life was also quite glorious; she bore the honor of the White Rose Family all her life, and after inheriting the Duke’s title, she campaigned with the Carter Empire throughout her life. Through her efforts, the prestige of the White Rose Family almost matched that of the Royal Family.
She herself was praised by historians as “one of the greatest women of the Carter dynasty.”
Such a legendary figure, originally renowned in history, was obliterated by a waste from a remote small town and minor family.
Eve Heather was just a fisherman’s daughter. When she was born, her mother died in childbirth because of her, and her father particularly despised this “inauspicious” daughter, abusing her from a young age.
Finally, when Eve was eight years old, she pushed her drunken, groggy father into the river.
She then gathered the family’s possessions and left the small mountain village.
During her escape, Eve stumbled upon a treasure that would change her life—the necklace that sealed the Demon King.
After countless years sealed within the necklace, the Demon King finally saw a chance to escape. At that time, he was extremely weak and was forced to sign a contract with Eve—having lived tens of thousands of years, the Demon King was knowledgeable and knew how to enhance Eve’s poor talents to excellent levels; in return, Eve had to provide him with the medicine he needed to recover—living souls.
The more talented the mages or swordsmen were, the more benefits the Demon King received from absorbing their souls.
Veronica Roman, known for her “God-like talent,” was one of the Demon King’s top targets.
