The Unknown Beauty 128 She's like... Me? 1

"Yes!" said Quan Yi Ying.

"Okay, Let's go!" and they start moving. A few minutes go by as Lin Yu Yan just started off at a slow pace.

'They are fast!' thought Tang Hongwu.

'I can barely keep up!' thought Soo Tien-Kai.

'Hmmm… they didn't joke about keeping up with them,' thought Quan Su Wen. 'But that lady… how did she know where Feng City is when she's from the Wang Empire? She looks oddly familiar…'

She stares at Chu Yang's back as she thought this. Soo Tien-Kai slowed down to speak to Quan Su wen who was behind him. "Doesn't that lady… remind you of the first general?" he whispers.

"Now that you mention it… she does… but the general went missing years ago when the attack happened..." thought Quan Su Wen.

"I think it is her," said Quan Yi Ying.

"Why is she back? Didn't the emperor say she left us for good?" said Tang Hongwu.

Lin Yu Yan turns around and notices the four talking but also breathing really hard keeping up with them.

'Really? We're going even less than a quarter of our normal speed?' thought Lin Yu Yan.

She stopped and said, "Gu Xiang, carry Tang Hongwu. Jingju, can you carry Soo Tien-Kai. Chu Yang, please carry Quan Su Wen. Wu Lang, carry Quan Yi Ying. At this rate, we will never make it in town on time."

The other four were confused. 'We were really that slow?'

Though they denied the help, the four were convinced to be carried the rest of the way and were amazed as to how much faster they really are. Lin Yu Yan and the rest went at least 4 times the speed they were going before.

'W-Wha!? How can they be this fast!? The others are carrying us and they are still going faster then us!?' thought Tang Hongwu.

"Yu Yan, I found something on the sea snake," said Meiying as she caught up and handed her something. It was a needle, like the ones Lin Yu Yan used to fix and heal people's flow of spiritual energy and/or extract poison. Lin Yu Yan notice a mark on the needle.

'It's a… turtle…?' and thinks it has something to do with Quan Su Wen. It looks similar to the mark on her shoulder.

"Thanks," Lin Yu Yan said as she placed the needle into her space ring.

They did occasionally encountered animals and other spiritual animals along the way but managed to escape especially with the speed they were going at. It was nightfall and sadly these encounters made their journey longer and had them rest for the night.

They set up a camp and some went hunting for the night to get fresh meat and got a couple of fish and a nice boar. Lin Yu Yan made some delicious food using the seasonings and herbs she has brought with her.

Quan Su Wen was surprised why the food taste so good. 'Is… she like me?'

"Hmmm!? I never tasted food this delicious before!?" said Tang Hong Wu.

"What is this…?" said Soo Tien-Kai who was already stuffing his face with food.

Quan Su Wen wanted to test something that only she knows about, "Is this seasoned with salt, rosemary… with a squeeze of lemon?" she asked but only Lin Yu Yan could understand because she was speaking in English.

"What did you say?" asked Quan Yi Ying.

"Huh? Are you speaking gibberish?" said Kenzhi.

"Yes…" Lin Yu Yan answered back in English. She was so surprised and it made everything clear to her, 'Reincarnated too?'

Quan Yi Ying had no idea what's going on and Quan Su Wen asked Lin Yu Yan, "Can we speak privately?" in English.

"Uh… Yeah…" said Lin Yu Yan in surprised.

"Where are you going?" asked Quan Yi Ying.

"We're just going out here for a bit to talk," said Quan Su Wen in chinese, reassuring him.

"Okay… be safe," he added.

Wu Lang and Wei Ru looked at each other an whispered, "What was that? They were speaking in a different language or something…"

The two girls walk into the dark forest and sat by the river as the moon shine down on them brightly.

"So… reincarnation?" asked Lin Yu Yan, in english.

"Yep… We should speak in english just in case someone hears us," saud Quan Su Wen.

"Hmm… I see. Is it okay if I asked… how you ended up here?" asked Lin Yu Yan.

Quan Su Wen explained she was in the middle of buying her otome game when she got hit by a truck. She didn't walk into the crosswalk, she was pushed. Before she left the world, she found out her stepmother is the person who pushed her.

Her stepmother is an evil person and killed her so the step-mother and her daughter can inherit her father's company and left her younger sister behind. Luckily, she found out early before her death that they were planning something already and found her father's will and hopefully her younger sister would find it and bring justice to her death.

"Wow… I guess the same thing happened to me but.." and Lin Yu Yan explained about her life and how her best friend killed her because she misunderstood the relationship between her and her boyfriend.

"Wow… that's rough," Quan Su Wen said.

"But what happen to your life here? The fact that you have this life is because the original owner is dead right?" asked Lin Yu Yan.

"You too? I got here about a month ago. The owner's family doesn't like her. She has 3 older sisters and 3 older brothers who bully her because she was born an good-for-nothing. I was able to fix my qi but it's not stable as you can tell. I heard rumors from the Taiyang city that an unknown doctor was able to heal the prince from a poison gain his ability back," she said.

"I see…" said Lin Yu Yan.
