Die weibliche Nebenfigur ist unschuldig

Kapitel 2

I was listening in confusion when he suddenly let go of my hand and, taking advantage of my struggle, gave me a hard shove. I lost my balance and stumbled back several steps before sliding into Yanglan Lake by the roadside.

Yanglan Lake is a polluted lake in the city. It is surrounded by factories, and waste sewage is secretly discharged into the lake. The lake water is completely black and emits a foul stench. All kinds of garbage float on the surface of the lake. The entire lake has become the biggest cancer in the city, and the citizens have a lot of complaints. The municipal government is considering filling it in.

I can't swim at all, and when I fell into the lake, I disappeared from sight in a matter of moments.

Not even a ripple appeared.

What I didn't know was that just minutes after I fell into the lake...

The culprit who pushed me into the lake put on sunglasses, calmly turned around, got into his car, and disappeared at the end of the street in a short while.

Behind him, several large trucks loaded with soil rumbled by, and several workers jumped off, carrying shovels and similar tools. A foreman-like man shouted, "Brothers, let's work hard and fill this lake in a few days! The municipal government has several projects in the East City. If we work fast, we can still manage to get work there, and we won't have to worry about going home for the New Year and getting married this year!"

Several coworkers burst into laughter and noisily gathered around.

A few days after I left this world, the historic Yanglan Lake became part of the city's permanent history.

Chapter 3 Time Travel

Even though I had fallen into the lake, I didn't feel any water or feel suffocated. I could hear the wind in my ears, and my clothes were being torn and flung around.

I opened my eyes. Blue sky, flowing clouds, and rosy dawn stretched as far as the eye could see. A few eagles and vultures soared through the air, their long cries echoing as they flew past me. One of them even turned its head, staring at me curiously with its bright little eyes, before flying away with me. In no time, we were high in the sky.

"Hey, big eagle, bye~."

I squinted my eyes, yelled, and waved, then continued to fall...

Falling downwards ﹏﹏

Falling downwards ﹏﹏

We'd been falling for a while now, and I'd been listening intently, but I couldn't hear anything from below. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. My lips twitched, and I muttered softly, "Sigh, fine, I've been transported, I accept that my body has been transported, since I'm already in here. But, could it not be this high up?"

Yes, I traveled through time.

Time travel is not unfamiliar to me.

While countless online girls dream of time travel, handsome men, and otherworldly adventures, I am a ghost parasitizing the internet, selecting girls suitable for time travel, helping them travel, and then collecting my payment.

I am neither a demon nor a fairy; I am just an ordinary human girl.

However, he had a non-human master.

I know that Yanglan Lake has a spatial barrier. It opened at that moment, and I sensed it too.

What surprised me was the man's expression. When he pushed me into the lake, his expression was calm, tinged with a hint of sadness and anger, but there was absolutely no guilt or sense of wrongdoing. On the contrary, it seemed as if he was deliberately trying to provoke me. All of this indicated that the man, too, knew about this spatial barrier.

He clearly intended to push me into the barrier on purpose.

I wasn't afraid of being pushed into the barrier, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

While it's true that since I'm already here, I should at least be allowed to land safely, right?

Damn it!

I cursed that damned, awkward young master relentlessly, but I didn't dare look down.

If what I see is a scene of countless tiny ants forming mountains, rivers, and cities, or a vast, boundless void with thick clouds, I'll suffocate.

Falling downwards

Um, we've been falling for so long, how come the ground is so far away? Haven't we arrived yet? Waaah, if I die from this fall today, my soul will fight tooth and nail to get back to my own time and space. I swear I won't reincarnate until I strangle that damned guy. Um, though I don't even know if I'll be able to reincarnate.

Landing, landing, landing ﹏﹏

Why hasn't it landed yet?

Landing﹏﹏

Ugh, I'm about to break down, I can't think about it, I can't think about it ﹏﹏

I want to go home, that's right, home.

How can I get home? I don't have a time-space activation device, so I can't open the time-space barrier myself. I'm afraid even contacting my master won't help. How can I get home? What method can I use? What method...?

Ugh, I still can't calm down.

You damned man, how dare you send me to this time and space like this! You just wait, you better pray to God that I land safely and that the way back isn't too difficult. Otherwise, I'll make you die and come back to life a thousand times over!

I gritted my teeth.

Music is coming from below... Huh, are we almost at the bottom?

I instantly perked up, took a deep breath, and finally mustered the courage to look down.

Below is a large lake, three or four times the size of Yanglan Lake, with crystal-clear water. Numerous painted boats are moored on the lake, and many men and women dressed in ancient costumes come and go. On the shore, a large platform has been erected, covered with curtains, as if some kind of event is being held.

It seems my time travel was reversed; I've returned to ancient times. But I wonder if it's in the same timeline as my world, or a different one?

It doesn't matter anymore, as long as I land safely. With my abilities, it doesn't matter which timeline I'm in.

Landing. Landing.

The ground beneath my feet was getting closer and closer, and I could see the facial expressions of every passerby clearly. Yet, my descent speed did not decrease at all.

Black lines appeared on his forehead.

I suddenly realized that although I could see the ground and the crowd, I still wouldn't be able to land safely. Falling from such a height without a parachute, how was I supposed to mitigate the effects of gravity and inertia? Would I still end up dying?

I pressed my lips tightly together, my hands and feet were ice-cold, and my forehead was covered in cold sweat. As the ground rushed towards me at lightning speed, I felt as if my soul had almost left my body.

Ahhhhh, I don't want to die! Ahhhhhh!

Chapter 4 The Most Bizarre Landing Method in History

On the continent of Kongmeng, the Tianxing Dynasty was flourishing.

In the bustling heart of the capital city of Huai, the annual Flower Festival was in full swing. The Huai Lake was dotted with flower-adorned boats and painted barges. On the lake and its banks, beauties were as lovely as jade, and talented men as numerous as clouds. Songs and dances filled the air, accompanied by the continuous sounds of stringed instruments.

During the Flower Festival, the most eye-catching figures are undoubtedly the reigning queens of the year.

The reigning queen of this year's competition is none other than Zi Ru, a courtesan from the Garden of Flowers.

The name Zi Ru was known throughout the city.

A beautiful woman, whose family had fallen on hard times, entered the world of courtesans, possessing both beauty and talent. A few years ago, a graceful dance and a melodious song amazed the entire city, earning her the title of the most beautiful courtesan.

At this moment, Ziru sat amidst layers of light gauze curtains, dressed in white robes embroidered with butterflies, her garments fluttering in the wind. She sat upright, her expression serene, her eyelids slightly lowered, her chin sharp. A guzheng lay in her lap, her slender, jade-white fingers weaving through the butterfly embroidery like dancing silver butterflies, producing a light and delicate melody that gently spread across the lake.

Opposite the zither bench sat a man in an ice-blue brocade robe. His simple robe was embroidered with countless faint, overlapping cloud patterns only at the collar and cuffs. A light green jade pendant hung at his waist, with matching light tassels that fluttered gently in the wind, displaying the owner's casual and leisurely demeanor.

With his fair complexion, clear and bright eyes, gentle expression, and a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, he exuded elegance and nobility simply by sitting there casually.

Zi Ru's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of the icy blue hem of a garment beneath the piano bench. A faint sigh escaped her lips amidst the zither music.

Mo Yu took a sip of the smoky tea. This was pre-rain smoky tea, harvested from the highest peak of Yunxu Mountain, Yunyan Mountain Range. It was made through several meticulous and intricate processes, including withering, rolling, sun-drying, sorting, blending, and frying. It was then brewed with spring water from Huai Mountain, poured into the pot when it was eight-tenths boiled. The tea had a light fragrance upon entry, which, after swirling in the mouth, became richer and more intense. There was no need to savor it; the aftertaste was already long and lingering.

Zi Ru is skilled in dancing and singing; everyone knows that.

Few people know that Ziru's tea ceremony is truly unparalleled in the world.

Every time Mo Yu came, Zi Ru would carefully brew him a pot of fine tea.

Just as I was savoring the sound, a very subtle sensation arose: the sound of wind overhead, like a giant eagle or vulture swooping down from the sky. But the sound…

Too turbid, too heavy﹏﹏

Mo Yu raised his head in confusion, only to be met with a face that was frozen in shock.

It fell straight down from a great height.

A pair of beautiful eyes widened, overflowing with panic, fear, and helplessness. Her body was tense, and she looked like she was about to scream but was desperately covering her mouth to keep quiet. She stared blankly and bewilderedly down.

Mo Yu's smile froze almost imperceptibly. His lips twitched slightly, and his body stiffened. The next second, the woman's body, flailing wildly, plummeted down from mid-air like an octopus.

A dull thud! The sound of flesh colliding.

"Ugh!" he groaned in pain.

************

"Ah—! It hurts!" I was in so much pain that my face contorted. I lay on the ground for a while before struggling to get up. I moved my limbs and patted myself down. There didn't seem to be any injuries, but my bones felt like they were about to fall apart, and they hurt at the slightest touch.

I pursed my lips and gave a wry smile. This time, the fall was truly devastating. Well, falling from such a height without the aid of any safety equipment, I'm lucky I didn't die.

He patted his cheeks, rubbed his aching limbs, and frowned as he looked around.

Chapter 5 hit someone

Where is this place?

A cabin, exquisitely furnished. Floor-to-ceiling red brocade, soft Shu silk, fine mahogany tables and chairs, antique-style blue and white porcelain, a fine-brewed teapot, and a faint aroma of tea...

The environment seems quite nice.

Turning my head again, I saw a beautiful woman from a painting, holding a guzheng, sitting by the window, her mouth slightly open, staring straight at me. She had clearly seen everything I had just done.

I froze for a moment, my lips twitching.

While inwardly cursing the damned man, a sweet smile appeared on her face as she nodded amicably to the beautiful woman.

Judging from this, it seems to be a pleasure boat, so her identity is easy to guess. Such a beautiful woman actually has the potential to be a femme fatale. It's a waste that she was born in this era; if she were in my world, she would be a superstar with a huge following.

"Hello, sister." I smiled, wondering how to explain my horrifying appearance.

The beautiful woman was still staring at me blankly, unable to react.

I shifted my position, preparing to stand up and speak.

"Mmm." A low moan came from below.

My mind went blank for a second, then I jumped up.

My face is burning! Did I really hit someone? I thought I was dreaming. Thank goodness I didn't kill him. But it's strange, he clearly saw me falling, why didn't he dodge? He just stood there like an idiot letting me hit him. Was he stupid?

"Hey, are you alright?"
