Free Spirited Villainess 3 A Calm Fujioshi

Presently, the very ident.i.ty of the body was a danger to her peaceful life and existence. To become one of the worst regarded humans in history would be a great spot to give away! Especially for a normal civilian like her, used to the pampered life of a modern woman in normal Earth.

All the people living in this world are highly prideful, deceitful, easily enraged and mostly evil. Kindness here was to be treated with suspicion. Hez felt suffocated by the moralities and principles of this world. Everyone held grudges and revenge were the only answer to there despair.

She sighed. If she wanted to survive, maybe training to raise her cultivation and changing her appearance would help a lot.
Changing her appearance - people here are sometimes too dense to recognize a person unless that someone wore there signature characteristics. For Yu'er was her long hair that reached her ankles, pure yet prideful expression and red robes with golden flower patterns wrapped in a breastplate with an extension down to her midthigh and a sword gifted by the king. Now, Hez was going to change that as she never had the intention to a.s.sume the ident.i.ty of a dead person. She was herself and an entirely different person!

Hez is another ordinary youth in her country- calm, lazy yet scary faced accompanied with monochrome clothes and casual shoes. So she might as well change everything and this was going to be square one for survival.

The voice who guides her all the time seem to also be able to peek into her thoughts as he chuckled. "I can help you with that, we have the disguise book."

"I'm thinking about my looks, and how to incorporate a style suitable to my personality."It Hez looked at her reflection on the water as she stood on a rock. Her face from the previous life was still the same in her new body, as if she was just in the body of her reincarnation or simply an ancestor. She was still wearing the same clothes from the ma.s.s grave, only it was washed and cleaned to the point as if it was brand new with the help of the voice or system as she would like to refer to the existence of such being. The randomly mismatched robes that went from red, black, green and gold embroidered clothes wrapped around her with warmth made Hez ignore the fashion sense of matching color in this world. Aside from her clothes, she had lightly tanned but flawless, soft skin from tip to toe. Her long black hair was thick and reached down to her ankles. Red irises glowed in contrast making her smirk. Inside her head, she hoped that dimples were included but when she smirked, her cheeks were devoid of any. Her expression turned from calm to a look of askance.

"Why? Take away the red irises! I want dimples!"

"No can do Hez."

"But my hair is super black plus red irises. This are new additions, why can't i have dimples?" Hez sighed, starting to feel that all these argument for dimples were simply a dream to never come unless plastic surgery was available in this world and time. She once had the opportunity in her real world but her mother did not like her going under the knife just to have dimples that she did not possess but her father, brother, sister, uncles, aunties, grandma, grandpa and also those cousins seemed to all have! "Whatever, just help me with my closed door cultivation. I need to at least achieve martial general before leaving this grave yard."

The thought of staying in a graveyard was highly uncomfortable for a lady from the modern world whose graveyards looked so proper and clean with ma.s.s graves as uncommon norm only done by people with poor principles. However, the ma.s.s grave seemed to contain a high amount of condensed qi given the bodies of multiple cultivators of different levels thrown into the pit. And there was not only one pit or two but many more. This Forest for the Unforgiven was a good place for cultivation but it repelled many away due to the people of this world's own superst.i.tions and belief. And right now, a strange formation seemed to have formed all around the huge forest as well that can trap any low level practictioners in here without a glimpse of hope. Except for Hez who was blessed with cheats.

The voice giggled. "Now were starting. This will take time, come on and soak into the herbal bath."

Hez halted on her steps. "That was a very strange and painful bath, i might die from the suffocating steam!"

Previously, she had to clear out a small wooden cabin that looked like a makeshift temple in order to convert it into her temporary house. Given that it was supposed to be for the dead, she prayed for them before performing her own form of exorcism and house blessing to push all those vengeful, scary ghosts away. Thinking that it was the only task was wrong as she was immediately sent to a bathtub with green water bubbling and boiling within the blink of an eye.

"Besides, where did that bath tub come from? It's wooden too! Don't you think those majestic, European tubs would be better?"

"It does not matter."

"It does matter, you told me to enjoy so at least let me enjoy my fantasies! I'm doing your bidding by providing you entertainment." With my life and safety in the line, she wanted to add. Nevertheless, this was her new reality and Hez was left with no choice but to slowly accept her situation.

"Fine. It's a piece of cake! Remember, the powers Yu'er had are strongly evil, you need cleansing if you want to be able to control such risky, unstable ability. h.e.l.l, you might turn into a cannibal, worse, a ghoul!"

Gooseb.u.mps crawled down her skin at such thought. The ma.s.s grave was disgusting and pitiful, and she'll be eating those corpses if she loses her grip? "Ah h.e.l.l nah, let's go!"

Hez have read so many transmigration novels, enough to be able to predict what might happen next if she was ever to confront random personas. As well as with dealing with time and strange places. For such graveyard, it was always taken advantaged of by the protagonists and antagonists. If lucky, it can be a great loot and a safe haven, believe it or not.

She chose the easy way and trained for her cultivation rigorously. Whenever her memories strike however, it was time for a brisk walk around the forest to loot some stuff and store into her dimension that opens at the flick of her wrist. Every day happened like this that she forgot about her time until she felt frustrated from a bottleneck one day.

"System! System! Help!"

"It's been a long time! How can I be of service?"

" I can't make a breakthrough!" She grumbled as she bit on a roasted bird's leg. So bland but juicy, she thought on the side.

The forest was a grave yard and that meant fertile soil to nature and a lush of greens that masked the truth about the forest. Not the type of a swamp, rotten area conquered by thick fog and wandering ghosts which she initially expected. Beasts and other animals are sure to be present which were good for practicing her martial arts and pill experiments as well. After this long length of time, Hez barely even thought of leaving the place. Everything was fine, h.e.l.l, she also became some sort of priestess extinguishing the souls of the dead and giving a proper burial to send away the dead. Of course, only after she absorbed there condensed qi then she put each pit to burn and never to be treated like a garbage can ever again.

The voice went silent for a bit as if to scan her state before speaking, "So you've long past achieved the late stage of the ninth layer qi gathering stage! You're also a high-level martial knight right now. How many pits did you burn already?"

Hez crossed her arms across her chest and pretended to think, "Eastern quadrant' s all purified. I'm just starting the southern quadrant later."

Normally, well, in her mind, those many pits should have been enough to promote her as fast as lightning! Unfortunately, she possessed the power of a glutton where just residues gathered and strengthened by the pile of cultivator corpses were barely enough to pull her through and let her leap a really big distance.

It was frustrating. How could the female leads do it but she can't! Furthermore, those painful baths were still turning black every time! The worse was when it came out through her skin.

Furthermore, the owner of the voice was nonchalant enough to forget her ramblings that would cause her face to turn sour.

"I see so you're doing good, just break through on your own like usual. Maybe add more strong ingredients in your herbal bath or try learning how to refine pills? Maybe, fight more beasts or devour more evil miasma and absorb more condensed qi! You'll do fine! Great job!"

"Ugh, it's been months since I've been in this state! I am no freaking genius, who knew that Yue'er was the genius and as soon as she died, her genius abilities left behind an empty container that only craves for food?"

The system sighed. Looks like he needed to tutor her with reading the books, "Did you finish your studies yet?"

At the mention of such dreaded activity, her ears turned red. "Of course!"

"You lie!"

"But-"

"No buts!"

Hez stopped walking back to the cabin as a sudden realization hit her.

"Somehow you sound like a little kid but behave like you are older than me. Hey kid, I was being chill and letting you have your way all along. If you have a body, prepare to get spanked for being so disrespectful to your elder!"

"No I am older than you young lady, if I were to show myself, you'll bow down in shame."

"What if you're a short wimp?" She tried to provoke him. Only that person himself know their own apearance. She just wanted to muse herself with the realization and see what happens.

"You dare!" The voice raised their voice, annoyance stuck in their tone. At this point, Hez's interests suddenly disappeared like it never happened. The voice was of a stinky brat wiith a short temperament she figured.

A sigh escaped her slightly parted lips. "So how long did it take me to cultivate to this level?"

The voice seemed surprised at the sudden change of the once lazy, non-chalant lady turning into a moody one devoid of expressions. "Almost nine months."

"If I tell you I'm starting to feel bored of this daily routines, what will you do?"

The voice sighed. "What do you want?"

"Sweets, new clothes and a huge pillow that's just right for my comfort."
A small smile weakly pulled the corner of her lips upwards. Cultivating and same daily routines were now boring her to death! How was this even entertaining to the brat? she thought.

Nevertheless, the voice let out a "Humff!" She could see him crossing his arms over his chest. Then he added, "Oh gosh, you are so demanding as ever!"

Little did he know, her seriousness was all true and was not a joke at all. Hez displaying her real feelings were something so subtle that she felt so sensitive right at that moment. She truly felt bored and unmotivated. If he had not let her have what she wanted, she would have tried to make a crazy goal like absorbing all condensed ki's of one entire quadrant within three days to a week without break. That action was considered risky and will definitely cause an explosion within her but it was also a key to a quicker break through. For some reason, a more stabilized foundation.

Back in her real world, she had always been a complicated person and the display of her real feelings shows her actual struggle. Her boredom often resulted to unpredictable outcomes.

A scene when she remembered her past:

Hez liked her food to be special. Her dad was a great cook, he mom too, her little brother was only able to cook a limited amount, her little sister could only cook between fried food and rice and the youngest can cook rice, eggs and boil water. She used to teach her younger siblings cooking and often broke into fights in the middle. She missed those times especially as she stared at the roasted, bland bird leg. She roughly bit into it and chewed onto the meat roughly. Continuously, she did so while telling herself to just accept her new life. But of course, even the toughest person in the world can have there breakdowns! She stopped chewing midway and let choked cries pa.s.s through her meat-filled mouth. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she yearned for her family. Not just her family nowadays but her friends too. Even the co-workers who were new to the workplace were not spared as well.

She let the sad tears flow.

"Pfft!"

On the other hand, in the voice owner's eyes, she looked so funny as she choked and cried with a mouth full of half-chewed food slowly falling. She tried to catch them out of reflex and put them back into her mouth while she cried.
