Based on the information I received directly or indirectly from the Old Man over the past few days, I have indeed traveled back to ancient times and, by some unfortunate accident, found myself in the body of a handmaiden of the Sun God.
If I were just an ordinary handmaiden, that would be fine; at least I'd be serving an immortal being! But sadly, this particular handmaiden has unwittingly offended the Sun God and, in desperation, had to flee to the Zai Tian mountain!
I helplessly clutched my only magical artifact—the Qian Kun Bag—and consoled myself, "At least I used to be a deity and have a treasure; it can at least protect me."
However, this small comfort was instantly shattered by the Old Man's sharp tongue.
"Hmph! That broken sack can only hold some luggage," the Old Man scoffed.
I was so furious that I nearly passed out, collapsing to the ground in disbelief...
I remember that day vividly; I was rehearsing for a play—Adam and Eve. I had donned a leopard-print costume and was eagerly preparing to take the stage as one of their descendants when suddenly, the power went out...
And thus, tragedy struck without warning!
As I was lost in my thoughts of despair, the Old Man climbed onto my chest and then slid down from its highest point with a whoosh.
"I still think we need to ask Kua Fu for help and see if he will take us in," he said. After pondering for a moment, I slowly sat up and retorted angrily, "You old pervert, I warn you—if you climb onto my chest again, I'll squash you!" With that, I stood up furiously, brushed off the dust from my clothes, and turned to leave.
"Wait for me!" The Old Man hurriedly flew up and clutched my skirt tightly.
After searching for quite some time, I finally found Kua Fu at the mouth of a valley. He was intently gazing into the depths of the valley, with sunlight streaming down at just the right angle to illuminate his robust figure with a dazzling halo.
From my perspective, Kua Fu's golden-lit profile was simply stunning.
As I was lost in admiration, Kua Fu suddenly turned around. In a panic, I quickly lowered my head, recalling the stern and rebellious expression he had worn yesterday, which still sent shivers down my spine.
After a long silence, Kua Fu finally spoke slowly, "Go ahead, tell me, what is the purpose of the Heavenly Court sending you here?"
I immediately shook my head vigorously and said anxiously, "There’s really no purpose! We are truly at our wits' end... Please, we beg you to take us in!"
Kua Fu's gaze flickered as he slyly glanced at me, his expression still defiant. "It’s easy to stay, but... I, Kua Fu, do not keep idle people."
Upon hearing this, I immediately knelt down without hesitation and recited a line I had learned from a TV drama: "I am willing to pledge my life in loyalty to Kua Fu, serving with utmost dedication until death!"
Kua Fu laughed heartily and pointed towards the canyon ahead, saying loudly, "Alright then, go down there and find me a crystal stone, and I will let you stay here."
I walked to the edge of the canyon and looked down, discovering that it wasn't very deep—only about twice my height. Feeling pleased with myself, I couldn't resist turning back to give Kua Fu an extremely alluring wink and said sweetly, "Wait for me!" With that, I bravely leaped down.
"Ahhh..." In less than a second, my scream shot up into the sky, reaching a pitch that could easily rival a dolphin's call.
"You fool!" Old Man shot me a sidelong glance and said with glee, "This Zai Tian mountain is above the earth's fire; of course, it's scorching hot in the canyon."
Embarrassed and angry, I turned my face away, wishing I could find a crack in the ground to hide in. Enduring the pain, I struggled to move forward but caught a whiff of a smell similar to grilled lamb skewers rising from beneath my feet.
Old Man sniffed and muttered softly, "It's burnt..."
"Shut up!" I angrily grabbed the Old Man and stuffed him into the Qian Kun Bag. My clothes had started to catch fire, exposing more and more of my skin, and I didn't want him taking advantage of me.
Turning to look at Kua Fu, our eyes met. Just a second ago, his gaze was filled with approval and even... a hint of pity, but upon meeting my eyes, it instantly turned cold and ruthless.
Chameleon... I silently scoffed in my heart.
I had searched the canyon for a long time but found nothing. The canyon was vast, and the plants on the ground had already turned to charcoal. My feet kept sinking in, and every time I touched the hotter rocks below, the pain became unbearable. My legs were charred black, emitting a pungent smell of burning flesh.
Suddenly, my foot slipped, and I lost my balance, falling into the abyss. In the split second before losing consciousness, I desperately untied the ropes of the Qian Kun Bag and threw it as far as I could.
After all, the Old Man was a deity; he could fly out...
With a loud thud, I crashed heavily to the ground, sinking into the blackened earth. Breathing became increasingly difficult, and my body felt like it was on fire. Just before my consciousness faded away, I vaguely heard someone shouting at me: "Princess... Princess..."
Then, everything went silent.
