"Hmmm…" A soft groan comes out of her. Just doing that small gesture feels so uncomfortable. She feels sore all over.
She wants to touch her neck as her throat the feels so dry, but she can't even lift her hands to do so. The best thing that she can do is to wet her dry lips with her tongue.
It is the first time that she felt this much pain. She can barely open her eyes.
Trying to recall what happened, flashes of images appear quickly from her head that caused more pain. Hers and Gao Lan Mei's memories.
The original owner of the body died because of the spiritual beast owned by the second prince's concubine, Li Huan.
Gao Lan Mei was a fool to accept the challenge of the despicable prince to prove her love to him. She was forced to stay on the outer part of the Mount Hua.
Though not much spiritual beasts lurk on that part of the mountain, it is still dangerous for someone like her who doesn't have any cultivation talent.
The girl did not even think that it was possible for her to be treated as an entertainment, much more the possibility of being left to die and be sustenance to the spiritual beasts.
The poor Gao Lan Mei foolishly believed that the prince will realize her worth after doing the challenge.
However, regardless of what the second prince thinks, his concubine made sure that she cannot leave the mountain alive.
Concubine Li Huan surely ordered her demon wolf beast to kill her.
Despite running as fast as she can, it was still impossible for Gao Lan Mei to at least has enough time to ask for help.
She was attacked and toyed with by the demon wolf until she lost consciousness.
Who would have thought that someone would save her before she was dismembered by the beast?
Still, despite all the effort, the original Gao Lan Mei died and was replaced by a wandering spirit.
Gao Lan Mei… That will be my name from now on.
From her previous life, she was only called "Miss". Her father was not able to give her a name before he left and take revenge.
"Mei'er are you awake? Are you thirsty?" Madam Gao noticed her daughter's frown and the failed attempt to move her hands.
She reached for a clean cloth to deep in a drinking water. "Try to open your mouth if you are thirsty… Try it slowly…" she gently and carefully instructed her daughter. There are claw wounds as well on her daughter's face. A part of the wound reaches her lips.
After her daughter slowly opened her mouth, Madam Gao squeezed the wet cloth to the small opening to help her drink.
Seeing Gao Lan Mei in such a state broke Madam's heart and from her eyes, poured the painful tears. These past few days, she was not able to sleep.
Even though she was already advised by the doctor that her daughter will survive, she still cannot rest while Gao Lan Mei was unconscious.
Aside from that, she was afraid to have a nightmare of the state her daughter was in.
Gao Lan Mei tried to slowly open her eyes. Thinking, "I can still see. Good." She slowly checked her other senses. "All seems to be working aside from gathering spiritual energy."
She slowly looked at the teary-eyed Madam Gao. "Mo.. Mo.. Mother…" She tried to test the word from her mouth.
So this is how a mother is… The care and love are clearly seen and felt just by looking at the Madam's eyes.
As she is using this body, she will then live as the original owner. It is now her responsibility to not make this mother cry.
