Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



Ji'er looked at the distant sky in a daze. "I have no idea where to go…" She looked at the three sincere faces and had no choice but to dash their expectations. "Don't follow me. Stay here and live a good life." With that, she did not give them a second look and left the abandoned temple with the cloth bundle on her back.

However, she had barely walked a distance when she saw the three little beggars following her step by step.

She turned around—they quickly turned around in shock as well.

Ji'er pursed her lips and anger appeared on her face. "What are you following me for? I don't even know where I'm going."

The three little beggars stiffened when they saw her lose her temper and did not dare move.

Ji'er ignored them and continued walking ahead.

She had no destination and all she did was continue walking.

The more rural the location, the more she wanted to be there.

When they saw her begin to walk, the three little beggars quickly followed suit.

Ji'er tried chasing them away a few times, but the little beggars refused to leave. She had no choice but to let them be and thought that they would eventually leave without her having to force them.

That night, they arrived at another patch of wilderness.

It was getting dark and it was not advisable to continue traveling. Ji'er stopped and looked for a tree to prepare and stay the night.

When she stopped, the three little beggars stopped as well. They even made a fire expertly and began grilling the fish they caught.

Fortunately, the weather was not too hot, which was why their fish had not gone bad yet.

Ji'er glanced at them and later turned her gaze away. She stared up into the skyline in a daze.

It was not long before she could smell the fragrant scent of grilled fish.

The jerky Ji'er brought with her had been finished by the beggars. She did not pass by any towns today and did not manage to replenish her food.

She was hungry after walking on the road for so long.

When she smelled the delicious grilled fish, she began to feel even hungrier.

She leaned against the tree and closed her eyes to sleep, trying to distract herself from the hunger.

It was not long before she heard the sound of huffing and puffing.

Ji'er opened her eyes to look and saw the youngest among the three beggars climbing up the three with a grilled fish in his hand. He was climbing up in a clumsy manner.

Ji'er frowned. "What are you doing?"

The tree was very tall and thick. The little beggar climbed for a long time before managing to be halfway up the tree, but he was already dripping with sweat.

When he heard Ji'er's voice, he lifted his head and gave her a silly smile.

"We've grilled the fish, but we want you to have some first. You must be hungry after walking for so long." With that, he attempted to continue climbing, but lost his grip on the tree trunk and fell downward.

"Ahh…" 

The little beggar screamed.

Ji'er leaped with a light tip of her toe, flitting down and catching the little beggar with her hand.

The little beggar was still in shock after they landed safely on the ground.

When the two other beggars ran over to check on the little beggar and confirmed he was fine, they looked admiringly at Ji'er.

Ji'er was taken aback.

Her father was the one who taught her martial arts skills.

Lil Qi had taught her before as well, but he had left for a long period in the middle of her training, so it was her father who taught her most of the time.

Among her siblings, Yaoyao was the one who least enjoyed these lessons. Only Ji'er and their royal brother liked it. They picked up the skills because their father was willing to teach them.

Compared to her royal brother, their father was more patient and detailed when teaching her.

Now that she thought about this, her father was willing to spend so much time on her because he probably wanted to make it up to her for what he did.

The look in her eyes dimmed at this thought.

"Thank you, Young Master," the little beggar thanked Ji'er with a red face after composing himself and he passed the grilled fish over to her.

Ji'er snapped out of her thoughts and glanced at him. When he was falling off the tree, he was so scared to the point of tears, yet he still kept a tight grip on the grilled fish.

She said nothing and took the fish from him quietly.
