My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Divine Martial Continent



In a room located in the West Garden.

A young girl lay on the bed, holding her head in her hands, her eyes open as she looked at the beams. During this time, she organized the memories in her mind that didn't belong to her.

This place, named the Divine Martial Continent, focused on cultivating Qi, also known as martial artists. The division of martial artists on the continent was simple, starting from a First-level Warrior to a Ninth-level Martial Artist, which was the Postnatal Realm, and those beyond the Ninth-level Martial Artist reached the Innate Realm.

Innate Strong People could already dominate the continent. Even the Royal Family couldn't possess a strong person in the Innate Realm; the Ninth-level Martial Artist was the limit.

So, once an Innate Strong Person appeared, they would be treated as an honored guest in any country.

Besides martial artists, there was another profession called Alchemist.

Becoming an Alchemist was extremely demanding, requiring not only a Fire Attribute martial artist but also strong spiritual power. The stronger the spiritual power of a Fire Element martial artist, the more genius their talent would be in alchemy.

However, in this continent where the strong were revered, the person she had possessed was a waste. Due to blocked meridians since childhood, she wasn't even a First-level Warrior.

This also defined her lack of status in the Mu Family.

"Blocked meridians?" Mu Ruyue leaped up from the bed, sitting cross-legged. Her fingers lightly rested on her pulse, and her expression gradually turned cold. "It seems the original owner was not naturally a waste but was poisoned. The toxins accumulated in her meridians, blocking the Qi flow and preventing cultivation."

But back in Huaxia, she was the heir to a medical family, so this kind of poison wasn't difficult for her.

"If I had silver needles, I would be 100 percent confident in detoxifying. But for now, I can only use embroidery needles as a substitute. Though embroidery needles are less safe, if used improperly, not only will they fail to detoxify, they might even cause cross-infection. Moreover, embroidery needles are shorter and can easily be left inside the body if not careful."

However, she had no other option now.

Going to a weapons shop to forge a set of silver needles would cost a lot of silver, but right now, she was very poor, so poor she didn't have a single copper coin. It was hard to imagine this was the treatment the legitimate miss of the Mu Family should have.

Fortunately, as a girl in the boudoir, she had plenty of embroidery needles.

"The first step of acupuncture is disinfection."

Holding a few five-centimeter-long embroidery needles in her hand, Mu Ruyue lit a candle and placed the needle tips over the flames. After 15 minutes, the entire embroidery needle turned red, and she then placed it into the prepared clean water.

"This place is quite backward. There is no alcohol, not even disinfectant, so I can only use the most primitive method. But this is enough. The next step is detoxification."

Mu Ruyue sat cross-legged again, her fingers quickly tapping several acupoints, and then she slowly inserted the embroidery needles into each acupoint one by one.

Time passed slowly.

This period was extremely suffering for Mu Ruyue. The sour pain caused by expelling the toxins made her willow-like eyebrows knit tightly. Her delicate face turned pale, and her thin lips trembled slightly.

Suddenly, the girl bathed in the sunset abruptly opened her sharp eyes, a wanton smile appearing on her lips, with a flickering light in her cold eyes.

"The toxins are finally cleared."

At this moment, she felt unexpectedly refreshed. That feeling from her previous life seeped into her heart again, making the smile on her lips even more radiant, though her eyes were still icy cold.

"I am not the Mu Ruyue of this continent, but I now live as her. Therefore, her unwillingness and anger, I will return to those people bit by bit."
