The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter

Situ Xin did not know that the faint glimmers of light were actually spiritual energy. While others could only sense fleeting traces of it at the beginning, she attracted thousands upon thousands of it all at once. This was because Situ Xin began absorbing spiritual energy while in her mother's womb; she was of a Pure Spirit Physique with not a single impurity in her body. This was also why, after drinking from the Spiritual Spring, she experienced neither diarrhea nor any foul odor on her body. However, the severe body pain that Situ Xin later felt was due to her absorbing too much spiritual energy at once; so much spiritual energy had entered her body and filled her meridians. Although Situ Xin had suffered greatly, even fainting from the pain, she also reaped a great benefit. Her meridians had expanded several times over in an instant, laying a solid foundation for her future cultivation. It must be said, if it were not for Situ Xin's Pure Spirit Physique and the fact that she began absorbing spiritual energy while in the womb, the massive influx of spiritual energy would have caused her body to explode and die, rather than just expanding her meridians.

Situ Xin did not know how long she had slept, but when she awoke, she could not feel the excruciating pain from before. After waking up, she checked her physical condition and found that her strength seemed to have greatly increased and her body had become much more flexible. "Does this mean I have sensed the spiritual energy, and what was that intense pain just now? I hope I won't faint from pain every time I practice cultivation," Situ Xin murmured to herself. She still had lingering fears when she thought of the unbearable pain, "Despite the pain, I, Situ Xin, will not give up." She knew that to survive in this world, one must possess strength, for only with strength could one have the right to live.

"Ah, I have no idea how long I've been unconscious. If my parents had come into my room looking for me, it would have been terrible," Situ Xin thought without even taking the time to see if she had made any progress. Her mind was completely preoccupied with whether or not she had been discovered. Situ Xin flashed out of the space and, upon seeing her quiet, still room, sighed with relief. Glancing at the window that was no longer pitch-black but now faintly illuminated, she sighed internally, thinking she must have been unconscious in the space for quite a long time. Thankfully, no one had come to her room for a surprise check this evening, or else she did not dare to think of the consequences.

Lying on her small bed, Situ Xin was not sleepy, so she closed her eyes and focused all her attention on the Jade Token, wanting to see whether she had advanced in rank. Situ Xin felt that despite feeling quite good, she could not determine her exact condition. Then, struck by a thought, she remembered that the Jade Token could adapt its range of cultivation techniques according to her abilities. By checking the "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles" it provided, she could know exactly what level she had reached.

After concentrating her energy, the "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles" appeared on the Jade Token. Situ Xin looked and saw that the content had indeed changed. Though it was still the first style of the technique, it was the content of the third minor form within it, signifying, according to the standards of the cultivation world, that Situ Xin had already reached the Qi Cultivation Second Layer. Indeed, as someone with the Pure Spirit Physique, she could skip the first layer and go directly to the second. At that moment, Situ Xin also realized in a flash of enlightenment that those bright dots she had seen were the so-called spiritual energy.

In the following period, Situ Xin used all her available time for cultivation, and she was truly extraordinary. By the time she was one month old, she had already reached the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer. At the Fifth Layer, the spiritual energy inside Situ Xin's body would reset to zero, requiring her to start over with her cultivation. Although it was a fresh start, the incantations were different from before; the Jade Token provided her with new ones.

As Situ Xin continued to cultivate and enhance her abilities, the people from both the Situ Family and the Loo Family, who spent all day around her, noticed that the little princess was becoming increasingly radiant. Originally fair and chubby with not particularly delicate features, her facial features were becoming more refined. Especially her eyes, whenever she opened them to look at you, you couldn't help but be drawn in. These changes were all due to her cultivation, and as she continued to cultivate day by day and the techniques improved, her features would become even more delicate, and even her figure more perfect.

No one from either the Situ Family or the Loo Family did not adore little princess Situ Xin. Every day, no matter how busy they were, everyone would come to hold Situ Xin upon returning home. Both Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo spent their entire days around Situ Xin. Thankfully, they had both retired, so they had ample time to spend with her.

In the blink of an eye, Situ Xin had been reborn for a month. In this month, she had figured out where and in what era she had been reborn. Situ Xin had been reborn in Country H, but the time had regressed several decades; it was no longer 2012, but rather 1988. She was shocked when she found out, having never expected to be reborn in the same year she was born in her previous life. Situ Xin didn't know if there was any connection between her rebirth and her previous life; otherwise, how could she have precisely been reborn in the year 1988 of her birth? And coincidentally, her name was still Situ Xin. She also learned that their current family members were no ordinary people— not that they had any special abilities, but their positions were exceptional. For example, her grandfather and maternal grandfather were both generals, old military generals who had participated in wars and achieved military honors. Her grandfather Situ Haotian was a true military general, having served in the military, while her maternal grandfather, in contrast, had taken a different path post-war, working in central government positions. Although both had stepped down from their original posts, their influence remained significant. And Situ Xin's father, Uncle, and maternal uncle were also remarkable. Situ Xin's father Situ Haotian and her big uncle Situ Haoran, like Old Master Situ, held military posts, with Situ Haoran having already reached the rank of Major General. Situ Haotian was also already at the level of Brigadier General. That they could achieve so much at such a young age was indeed impressive. Although Old Master Situ's influence played a part, this could not have been achieved without their own efforts. Situ Xin's eldest maternal uncle followed a similar path as her maternal grandfather in politics. Her eldest maternal uncle Loo Jianguo had done well in the political arena, already being one of the many central political committee members, carving out his own path. Situ Xin's younger maternal uncle could be considered an anomaly in the Loo Family, not following in his father's footsteps or like his older brother towards politics, but instead becoming a businessman. At that time, Country H even encouraged the entire populace to venture into business. Her younger maternal uncle Loo Jianxin started his own business overseas, which had nearly landed Old Master Loo in the hospital with anger. But Loo Jianxin proved himself to be formidable, making a name for himself overseas through sheer ability. Of course, his parents had been a great help in the beginning. Situ Xin hadn't expected to be reborn into such a family, totally different from her previous life experiences. Since learning this, she often wondered if this could be heaven compensating her for the hardships she suffered in her past life.
