Chapter Text
“All you need to do,” Wei Wuxian said quietly, tying the blindfold around his brother’s eyes. “Go up the mountain, it’ll probably take you about two or three days to find what you’re looking for. Just remember, you can never take this off. You’ll find her and just tell her you are Wei Ying, son of Cangse Sanren. Tell her that your core was melted and you need a new one.”
“Wei Ying, are you sure this will work?”
“Yes. Now go. You need to get your core back so you can get back to rebuilding and we can get our revenge.”
He frowned, but nodded and headed off up the hill.
Wei Ying watched him for several moments before he was no longer in sight. A sigh left him and he turned, finding the two familiar faces he was waiting for. “Are you two ready?”
“Wei Ying.. Are you certain about this?” Wen Qing frowned,
“I am.”
“It will be painful.”
“I know.” He smiled. “Just do what needs to be done.”
“Understood.”
--------------------------
Wei Wuxian slumped against the tree, waiting patiently for the two to return from helping Jiang Cheng. Having his core ripped out really was the most painful experience he had ever been through and he wasn’t sure anything could ever compare. The experience of being so strong and suddenly feeling so weak left him drained and anxious. He knew he was smart. He knew he would figure out a way to cultivate again, he already had ideas, but right now, he just needed to focus on not falling asleep.
His body slumped against the tree a little more, feeling the rough bark through his many layers or robes. His eyes felt so heavy, and even though it was warm, the slightest breeze was making his whole body shiver. He wondered if this was the same pain Jiang Cheng had gone through when his core– no. That didn't matter now. Jiang Cheng would have a core. He would be strong and be able to lead and protect.
Fluttering his eyes closed for no more than a minute, Wei Ying heard the sound of someone approaching. Many, to be precise.
Silver eyes opened and he turned his gaze coldly towards the approaching men.
"Well, well, well~ Wen Chao grinned. Fuck he was so obnoxious. "You look too pathetic to even put up a fight! Looks like your time has finally come to an end." His grin dropped instantly and he pointed a bony finger at Wei Ying. "Get him!"
Adrenaline surged through his body and instantly, Wei Ying was on his feet, taking out two, three, five of the men with Wen Chao, aiming for him next before a hand collided roughly with his neck, knocking him unconscious. Before he blacked out he barely got to see the fear in Wen Chao's eyes, pitty.
When he woke up, Wei Wuxian found himself being dragged up a set of stone stairs. His hands were tied behind his back, his mind heavy from being unconscious, desperate to get the rest his body was craving after having been through so much pain.
Instantly, he began to struggle, but of course there was no real use. Every part of his body was aching. Apparently they had used him as a personal punching bag while he was asleep. Just great.
“Oh~ Looks like the mutt is awake.”
System Activating...
“What?” Wei Ying frowned, looking around and then back to Wen Chao.
“What, did you lose your brain cells when you were knocked out?” He scoffed. “Whatever, bring him up here.” He demanded, his lackeys dragging the struggling cultivator forward.
Destination Set...
“You thought you were so slick, you pathetic excuse of a person. Strong cultivator? Ha!”
Calibrating Settings…
“You have practically no spiritual energy flowing from you.”
Loading Inventory…
“The fact that you were able to fight off as many of my men as you did was clearly a fluke, and to think, all of this could have been avoided if the Jiangs had just tossed you aside like the rat you are.”
“Shut your fucking mouth!” Wei Ying snapped, managing to get away from the men holding him for a brief moment before they got their hands on him again.
Loading Manuals…
“Will you shut up with that stupid voice?!” Wei Ying growled, glancing around at each of them to see which of them was doing it.
Calculating Point System…
Confusion filled each of their expressions, but Wen Chao just shook his head and scoffed. “Weak and delusional.” He made a half-hearted hand gesture before he moved forward, his foot coming up and kicking Wei Ying right in the stomach as the men on either side of him let go.
Wei Ying flailed as he fell through the air, a series of high pitched noises echoed around him, the feeling of resentment rising from below him, desperately trying to grab at Wei Ying as he tumbled through the air. That is, until there was no longer something or someone to grab at.
Transmigration Successful.
Wei Ying hit the ground with a hard thud, forcing all of the air from his lungs. A sharp cough left him as he rolled over onto his side, finding that his hands were no longer tied. He noticed the sudden lack of resentment and he blinked his eyes open, finding himself in the middle of a forest. Confusion settled over him as he glanced around, “Where… Where am I?”
Then, without warning, a semi transparent screen popped up in front of him, causing him to scream and back up to a tree, but the screen followed.
Fingers digging into the ground below him, eyes wide and breath stuttering as he finally read the words displayed in front of him.
Would you like a chance at a new life?
Below the words were two buttons.
Yes and No
Wei Ying stared at the words for several long minutes before he let out a shaky breath, a trembling hand raising to the screen before he reluctantly pressed the ‘Yes’.
A little jingle played before the screen changed.
