Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

The shadow held Chu Mengmeng hostage and slowly retreated. It was not until the moonlight shone through the hole in the ruined temple and shone on the two of them that Chu Mengmeng saw clearly that the person holding her hostage was Chu Yunyao! And the person standing in the shadow was Aunt Zhao!

Chu Yunyao looked at Chu Mengmeng with hatred in her eyes. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Chu Mengmeng, all this originally belonged to me! It was you who took away everything from me!"

Chu Mengmeng's heart trembled. She didn't understand why Chu Yunyao had such great hatred.

Before Chu Mengmeng could ask, Aunt Zhao said viciously: "You bitch! It's all because of you that the master abandoned me and Yao'er! It's all because of you that we have become like this!"

As soon as Aunt Zhao finished speaking, she slapped Chu Mengmeng viciously. Chu Mengmeng turned her head away, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

"Stop!" Xiao Yichen was furious when he saw this. He wanted to step forward, but Aunt Zhao stopped him, "Don't come over! Otherwise I will kill her!"

Xiao Yichen stopped and confronted Aunt Zhao anxiously. While the two were at a stalemate, Chu Mengmeng pushed Chu Yunyao away and turned to run out of the ruined temple.

“Chase!” Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhao immediately took Chu Yunyao and chased after him.

Chu Mengmeng ran as fast as she could, but as a weak woman, how could she outrun two vicious men? She was soon caught up.

Chu Yunyao grabbed Chu Mengmeng's hair and threw her to the ground. Chu Mengmeng felt dizzy, and before she could react, Aunt Zhao's slaps rained down on her.

"Bitch! Go to hell!" Aunt Zhao beat and scolded her, completely losing her mind.

Chu Mengmeng was beaten black and blue, but she did not resist and just endured it all silently.

After an unknown amount of time, Aunt Zhao finally got tired of beating her and stopped panting. Chu Yunyao looked at Chu Mengmeng, who was lying on the ground with wounds all over her body, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Let's go!" Aunt Zhao said this and took Chu Yunyao away from the ruined temple.

Chu Mengmeng was lying on the cold ground alone, feeling pain all over her body, but she felt even more heartbroken. She didn't understand why things turned out like this?

She struggled to get up from the ground, dragging her exhausted body, and walked towards the Xiao family step by step.

Back in the room, Chu Mengmeng sat on the bed helplessly, letting the tears flow freely. She felt unprecedented pain and helplessness, as if the whole world had abandoned her.

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Xiao Yichen walked in. He saw Chu Mengmeng's swollen cheeks and injured body, and felt distressed. He walked to Chu Mengmeng, gently hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

Xiao Yichen's embrace was warm and safe. Chu Mengmeng buried her head in his chest, her tears soaking his clothes. She choked and told Xiao Yichen what happened tonight in a fragmented manner.

"Why do they treat me like this... What did I do wrong..." Chu Mengmeng's voice was full of grievance and helplessness.

Xiao Yichen gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of heartache, "You are not wrong, they are wrong. Don't be afraid, I will protect you and will not let anyone hurt you again."

At this time, Su Mubai hurried over, his face a little solemn, "Yi Chen, there is news."

Xiao Yichen helped Chu Mengmeng sit down on the chair, then turned to look at Su Mubai, "What did you find out?"

"I followed the clues of the jade pendant and found that it was related to an organization called 'Shadow Alliance'. This organization is secretive and powerful, and even has spies inside the court." Su Mubai said in a heavy tone, his brows furrowed, "I'm worried that this matter is far more complicated than we thought."

"Shadow Alliance..." Chu Mengmeng muttered to herself, and Chu Yunyao's resentful eyes and Aunt Zhao's vicious curses appeared in her mind. Could it be that there was really another hidden story behind all this?

"I have decided to conduct an in-depth investigation into the Shadow Alliance." Chu Mengmeng raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes. "I want to find out the truth of the matter and never let them get away with it!"

Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that Chu Mengmeng, who seemed weak on weekdays, would have such a firm determination.

"Mengmeng, this is very dangerous, you..." Xiao Yichen looked at her worriedly.

"I know, but I can't back down." Chu Mengmeng interrupted him, "I want to become strong, strong enough to protect myself and the people I care about!"

In order to achieve this goal, Chu Mengmeng began to learn various skills. She learned swordsmanship from Xiao Yichen, Qinggong from Su Mubai, and medical and poison techniques from the old housekeeper in the mansion. She was like a sponge, greedily absorbing all knowledge and improving her strength.

At night, the moonlight poured down on the martial arts training ground. Chu Mengmeng held a long sword and practiced sword moves over and over again. Sweat soaked her clothes, but she did not stop, with a blazing fire burning in her eyes. She wanted to become stronger, strong enough to fight against all darkness!

Under the moonlight, Chu Mengmeng's sweat seemed to be full of firm belief. After practicing again and again, her sword skills became more and more powerful, but while swinging the sword, there was always an inexplicable power surging in her heart, as if responding to her determination for revenge.

Late at night, Chu Mengmeng was practicing in the martial arts training ground as usual. It was quiet at night, with only the sound of the sword cutting through the air and the occasional chirping of insects. Suddenly, she felt a surge of heat in her body, and the sword in her hand was faintly glowing red. Chu Mengmeng was startled and the sword in her hand almost slipped out of her hand. She calmed down and swung the sword again. This time, the red light was even more dazzling. Wherever the sword energy went, the fallen leaves on the ground were rolled up, forming a small whirlwind.

"This is..." Chu Mengmeng looked at her hands in surprise, and an unprecedented sense of power filled her body. This power seemed to be innate, but it awakened when she needed it most. Could it be that this was what made her different?

Just as Chu Mengmeng wanted to further explore this power, a deep voice sounded behind her: "Stop! You will kill yourself and everyone who cares about you!"

Chu Mengmeng turned around suddenly and saw a masked man in black standing not far behind her. In the moonlight, her face could not be seen clearly, but his deep eyes seemed to see through everything.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?" Chu Mengmeng asked vigilantly, and her hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened unconsciously.

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that there are some things that you cannot touch." The man in black said in a cold tone with unquestionable majesty, "The power in your body is too dangerous. If you don't control it well, it will only bring disaster!"

"Disaster? Am I just going to watch those people get away with it? I won't!" Chu Mengmeng's eyes were red, and she pointed the sword in her hand at the man in black. "Who are you? Why are you stopping me from taking revenge?"

The man in black was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Do you really want to know the truth? But you have to be mentally prepared. Some things, once known, can never be turned back..."
