The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 179: No Temperance

After Gou Chunmei returned home, she saw her mother, sent the servants away, and burst into tears.

She was just a delicate young lady from a wealthy family, who had everything provided for her since she was a child.

Now that she was left alone to train away from her parents, she couldn't help but feel panic in her heart.

When Yin Zhizi saw her heartbroken daughter and thought of the time when she had escaped death during training, anger arose in her heart.

However, she was powerless to resist and could only constantly comfort her daughter and herself: "Don't worry, Mei'er, the imperial concubine still needs you to pretend to be a princess for her, your life will not be in danger!"

Upon hearing this, Gou Chunmei cried even harder. She sobbed, "Mom, is my life not in danger? Does that mean I have to suffer a lot?"

Yin Zhizi gently patted Gou Chunmei's back and whispered soothingly, "Don't cry, Mei'er. Once you master this skill, it will belong to you. When you set foot on the land of Miao Country, you will be completely free from her control."

Gou Chunmei raised her tear-stained face and said worriedly, "But mother, I have never left home alone. What if I encounter danger?"

Yin Zhizi gritted her teeth, pulled out a jade pendant from her bosom, and stuffed it into Gou Chunmei's hand. "This is something Mother found by chance some time ago. If you are ever in danger of your life, remember to smash this object hard to the ground and then quickly cover your mouth and nose. This will help you escape successfully."

As he spoke, Yin Zhizi solemnly handed a jade pendant to Gou Chunmei.

Gou Chunmei held the jade pendant tightly, as if she had drawn some courage and strength from it.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Zhizi took out a thick stack of banknotes and some loose silver from his arms, and stuffed them all into Gou Chunmei's arms.

She warned, "You must always carry these banknotes and silver with you. If you are ever in a desperate situation where you have to flee to save your life, they will definitely come in handy!"

After a brief pause, Yin Zhizi continued, "Mei'er, don't worry. If it really comes to that, mother will definitely find a way to find you!"

Hearing these words, Gou Chunmei took a deep breath, knowing that things had come to this point and nothing could be changed.

So, she looked at her mother with a determined gaze and responded firmly: "Mother, please rest assured, I will act with caution."

Yin Zhizi showed a look of relief and nodded slightly, but there was still a lingering deep worry hidden in the depths of her eyes.

Time flies, and it is early morning of the next day.

At this moment, two unfamiliar-looking people from the martial arts world suddenly appeared in front of the Gou Mansion.

They claimed to be Yin Zhizi's family members, and they came to welcome their niece to her uncle's house to play for twenty days. They would escort her back safely later.

Gou Chunmei looked at the two men. Although she was a little scared, she still mustered up the courage to follow them into the carriage.

The carriage swayed forward, and Gou Chunmei nervously tugged at the corner of her clothes.

When they were halfway there, one of them suddenly said, "Girl, we have to take another route."

Gou Chunmei was shocked, but she could only follow their arrangements.

The road became more and more remote after the change, and Gou Chunmei was filled with doubts.

After a long while, the carriage stopped and the sound of fighting was heard outside. Gou Chunmei was so scared that she curled up in the corner of the carriage. She remembered the jade pendant given by her mother and held it tightly in her hand.

Not long after, the sounds of fighting gradually subsided. There was only a crisp sound, and the curtain was suddenly lifted up by a strong and powerful hand.

Then, a stern-looking middle-aged man appeared in front of him. He said in a cold voice, "We've arrived. Get off the bus!"

At this time, it was already dark. Gou Chunmei was feeling uneasy and her body was shaking uncontrollably. She got off the carriage carefully.

As soon as she got off the car, she was led to a house.

When I opened the door, I saw that the room was very simple, with only a few shabby beds.

What surprised her was that there were five other girls of the same age as her living in the house.

Although the clothes these girls wore were worn out, their figures were very similar to Gou Chunmei's.

It was late at night and the exhausted Gou Chunmei finally fell asleep.

However, just when she was sleeping soundly, she was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. "Get up, get up, get up!"

The shout was deafening, as if it was going to blow the entire roof off.

Gou Chunmei was forcibly pulled back to reality from her half-sleep state.

She was in an extremely irritable mood and couldn't help but mutter, "It's so noisy, who is it? It's so late and you won't let me sleep well, don't you want to live?"

After saying that, she turned over reluctantly and tried to go back to sleep, but the noise showed no sign of abating.

Gou Chunmei suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body, it was the sound of the whip falling!

She was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes, and she suddenly woke up.

Gou Chunmei turned over and got up, looking angrily at the middle-aged woman holding the whip.

The woman sneered, "You won't be allowed to act like a spoiled brat here."

Gou Chunmei was about to retort, but when she caught a glimpse of several equally frightened girls around her, she realized that this was probably not the place to reason.

At this time, a kind girl next to her quietly told her that this was a secret place where they were trained to be substitutes, and they would be severely punished if they were disobedient.

Gou Chunmei's heart was filled with grievance and fear, but she thought of her mother's words and secretly clenched her fists.

She knew that she had to be patient now, and that only by learning how to survive here could she survive.

"Everyone, carry the wood and run around the fighting arena a hundred times. You can sleep after you finish running!" Following the stern and unquestionable command of the middle-aged woman, nearly thirty women quickly ran.

Although Gou Chunmei was extremely reluctant, she had to join the running team at this moment.

The heavy wood pressed down on her thin shoulders, making every step extremely difficult.

However, she gritted her teeth, not allowing herself to make a single complaint, and persevered silently.

The pace gradually became heavy and slow, until late at night, when I finally finished the long 100 laps.

When the task was completed, Gou Chunmei collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

For her, who has always lived a life of luxury, such high-intensity physical training is simply a fatal torture and exhaustion.

At dawn the next day, Gou Chunmei had to endure the pain coming from all over her body and struggled to get out of bed.

She didn't bother to tidy up her messy hair and clothes, and hurried to the training ground to continue working hard to learn various combat skills.

In the following days, Gou Chunmei suffered varying degrees of beatings every day.

Those managers were merciless and ruthless, causing her to suffer greatly.
