The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

547: Hua Jin’s Plan

After eating and drinking her fill, Feng Wu returned to her dorm where she overheard people talking about Hua Jin.

Few people at school knew Ming Xi was the future emperor of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom or that Hua Jin was his cousin.

Annika and Xi were gossiping about the future empress of the Moon kingdom.

“I heard her name’s Hua Jin and she’s the daughter of Hua house in the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom. It’s an old house that’s been around for a long time but they’re not an upper tier house.”

“That doesn’t matter. Just her identity alone as the Moon empress’s niece is enough to suppress most noble girls here.”

“Not to mention she might be the next Moon empress.”

“I really want to see what she looks like. I heard Her Royal Highness the Moon empress is gentle and dignified so this Miss Hua Jin can’t be bad.”

“Definitely can’t be bad. Otherwise, how could she be the next Moon empress?”

“I heard the current Moon empress loves her so much she even brought her to the palace to raise.”

The corners of Ming Xi’s mouth would have twitched if he was there. It was all rumors. That girl ran to the palace and loitered around because she had nothing else to do.

“I heard Miss Hua Jin was trained to be the next Moon empress since she was young.”

Ming Xi: … Why don’t know about this?

“I really want to see Miss Hua Jin when she comes. I want to see what a girl groomed to be the next Moon empress is like! Maybe she’s even more beautiful than Senior Ming Xi!”

Feng Wu: Definitely not as good looking. Senior Ming Xi is the prettiest!

Time flew and the students looked forward to Hua Jin’s arrival. In their minds, Hua Jin was a beautiful goddess cherished by the Moon emperor and empress. It was in this atmosphere than Hua Jin entered Xingguang Holy academy.

Her arrival was the latest most gossiped about event.

Eyes filled with curiosity, jealousy and envy were glued on Hua Jin as she entered the academy.

Hua Jin had a dignified smile and her demeanor was noble. She was cute and gentle and was worshipped as a goddess by some of the boys as soon as she appeared.

This was the future Moon empress. After they graduated, and once she became the Moon empress, they could brag and say they met her in person.

A lot of people thought this way and were thinking about how to build a relationship with Hua Jin in the coming days.

All they saw was the dignified smile on Hua Jin’s face; they had no idea the thoughts in her heart.

So this is the school that bitch goes to? Brother Ming Xi belongs to me and only me. A lowly woman dare try to steal him from me? Tch! That bitch is going to know what happens to people who go against me soon enough.

Hua Jin’s smile became even more gentle as she thought about it. Naturally this led to even more people screaming in delight.

“Miss Hua Jin is so noble!”

“Miss Hua Jin is so gentle!”

“As expected of the future Moon empress!”

The wave of exclamations stroked Hua Jin’s vanity.

Very good. She would definitely become the next Moon empress, sitting in the position envied by all, accepting the worship and envy of everyone.

Hua Jin was an auditor so she had to pay a fee to live in the dorms. The fees weren’t low, but she was a daughter of the Hua family so money wasn’t an issue.

She came to fight against her love rival. If it weren’t for her grandmother being clever and planting a spy by the Moon empress, she would never have known the person Ming Xi was in love with was a sister from his school, that the girl was one of the most beautiful girls in the ancient eastern countries and that she was a daughter of Feng house.

Hua Jin had been hit hard when she first heard the news. Not only was the other party a noble daughter, she was from a superior house. How was Hua Jin supposed to compete?

Fortuantely heaven always left a way. Hua Jin discovered the girl was unmarried with a child out of wedlock and had been expelled from the Feng family. The girl was only welcomed back to the family after entering Xingguang Holy academy.

How could the dignified Ancient Silver Moon kingdom accept this kind of woman for their empress? The girl had the audacity to go after Ming Xi and the empress position after having already lain with someone. Did she have no self awareness? How ignorant!

What were her aunt and uncle thinking to have no objections? Hua Jin didn’t understand.

Apparently, her aunt would rather have a used woman like that as a daughter-in-law over her. In what way was Hua Jin worse than that other girl?

Her own background was poor, true, but she was still pure and innocent. She’d never been close to any male other than Ming Xi. Her relationship with her other two male cousins was distant. Wasn’t that enough to prove her sincerity?!

She had saved her aunt’s life, but her aunt didn’t dare try her best to help. Fortunately, she had her grandmother. Without her grandmother, how could she know about the other woman’s identity and whereabouts?

As long as she could drive the other party away, her mother and grandmother would do their best to help her. Her aunt empress always listened to her grandmother. Hua Jin was certain she would be able to make her dreams come true and be the next Moon empress next to Ming Xi.

Hua Jin successfully cheered herself up as several sinister ideas came to mind. She wasn’t there to kill Feng Wu but to destroy her. Killing Feng Wu was a poor strategy because it risked Ming Xi’s disgust if he ever found out. Therefore murder was off to table, unless it was absolutely necessary.

Hua Jin wondered how Ming Xi would feel once he found out Feng Wu cheated on him while he was away. She didn’t believe Ming Xi would continue to favor Feng Wu. At that time, her aunt and uncle would definitely agree to have Ming Xi marry her instead.

Feng Wu had no idea Hua Jin was after her man or that the other party planned on putting a green hat on Ming Xi. At the moment, she was sleeping in her room dreaming about her wedding to Ming Xi. He was feeding her delicious food while her master was praising her for doing a good job finding and marrying a husband. Mmm! I was a great dream! She was praised and there were lots of delicious food to eat!

548: A Grandmother’s Ambition

Feng Wu wasn’t impacted by Hua Jin’s arrival at all; she still ate and slept like always. Her life was no different.

Meanwhile, Hua Jin began auditing classes for the Sword division.

The people in the Sword division was surprised and the people in the Magic division were shocked. If the information about her was correct, then she was a wood mage. Why would a wood mage audit classes in the Sword division? Hua Jin refused to explain.

So when Hua Jin stepped into Feng Wu’s class, people looked at her a bit skeptically.

“There she is! That’s Hua Jin! She’s so beautiful!”

“Definitely worthy of being the next Moon empress. She looks the part.”

“Not only is she beautiful but her background is impeccable as well.”

“That’s right, Miss Hua Jin is the current Moon empress’s niece. I heard Miss Hua Jin grew up in the palace.”

“Children who grow up in palaces are different; their temperaments are so noble.”

Hua Jin was a golden thigh they wanted to hug. They would regret it if they didn’t use the opportunity now to build up a relationship with her. Many people in the Sword division began hovering around her for just this reason. Even a few people from the Magic division came over.

They were all there for her, so Hua Jin made sure to always give them a dignified and polite smile. It was the noble bearing of the future Moon empress.

Hua Jin’s arrival made the atmosphere in class a little strange. Some people wished they could be around her all day so they could build up a relationship with her. Hua Jin wasn’t from a top ranked house, but because she was the current Moon empress’s niece and because she was engaged to the future Moon emperor, her status was higher than most of the noble girls on campus.

Others were indifferent. They weren’t concerned about her status as the future Moon empress because it had nothing to do with them.

Ink belonged to the latter group and did not try to get close to her. Other than a couple of times that first day she arrived when he looked out of curiosity, he hadn’t paid her any attention.

Feng Wu chatted with Ming Xi as was her routine every day. Their conversations would occasionally mention Hua Jin, but it wasn’t anything unusual. It was just like talking about a stranger.

Ming Xi would occasionally ask about Hua Jin just to know what she was doing around Feng Wu. Based on her sudden appearance, Ming Xi suspected she already knew about him and Xiao Wu. He was afraid she had bad intentions.

He didn't know what she wanted to do, but if she dared do anything to hurt Xiao Wu he wouldn’t let her off even if their grandmother spoke on her behalf.

His maternal grandmother was not a simple woman. He was certain Hua Jin knowing about Feng Wu had something to do with their grandmother.

He knew from early on as a young child that his grandmother was a fierce woman with high ambitions.

She often entered the palace to accompany him when he was a child. His mother thought it was because she loved him very much and was simply bonding with her beloved grandson.

Sadly, that was not the case. The reality was she was doing it so he would form a habit of obeying her. She was essentially grooming him to be her puppet. This way when he became the Moon emperor in the future, she would be able to use him as a puppet emperor and rule the country herself. It was a beautiful plan on her part.

However, his father discovered her scheme early on and prevented her from influencing him by raising him personally. This prevented his grandmother from getting too close and influencing him. Out of consideration for his mother, his father refrained from attacking his grandmother.

If his grandmother hadn’t given birth to such a wonderful woman, and if the woman wasn’t the Moon empress, he was afraid his grandmother would have died ten deaths without knowing it.

But even if his grandmother did have the chance to influence him, as a god descendent, he matured much faster than a normal person. She would not have succeeded.

She had failed to manipulate him, so now she wanted to support Hua Jin to be the next Moon empress and manipulate things that way. Ming Xi laughed coldly twice.

He didn’t know where is grandmother got the courage to think she could control the royal family but he was amazed and disgusted she had such thoughts.

How did a such a wildly ambitious woman give birth to such a kind-hearted and sweet woman like his mother?

On the other hand, his aunt’s temperament was very similar to his grandmother’s. Neither his father nor he could figure out why. They could only assume a good sprout sprang from bad soil.

While Ming Xi as was thinking about his maternal relatives, Hua Jin was busy befriending people with status in Xingguang Holy academy, one in particular being Zi Cheng.

As the heroine in the original novel, it was easy for the friendly Zi Cheng to leave a good impression on people and get their favor. The proud and arrogant Hua Jin was no exception.

Hua Jin was happy to be friends with Zi Cheng when she learned Yifu, who was often by Zi Cheng’s side, hated Feng Wu. If she played it right, Yifu would be a sharp sword she could use to achieve her goal. It would save her the trouble of scouting potential candidates.

The days went by and before anyone knew it a month had passed. Things were peaceful at school, but Jier felt it was the calm before the storm. No way Hua Jin came to their school just to study. That's like saying a drunk wouldn’t be interested in drinking.

At this time, the teacher announced there would be a three-day field trip for class tomorrow. It was basically off-campus combat experience. The sword master class was full of sword users, their skills would rust and their natural talents would be destroyed if they remained indoors all the time.

They needed combat experience to develop and grow.

Hua Jin had been waiting for an opportunity to take care of Feng Wu. Who would have expected her chance would come so soon.

Early the next morning, Feng Wu handed Little Bun to the vice principal to babysit. He was smiling from ear to ear as he held Little Bun and the smile got bigger each time he hugged Little Bun tight to his chest.

Because he was always so happy to take care of Little Bun, Feng Wu assumed he liked children very much. It wasn’t just Feng Wu, a lot of other people who saw him be a free daddy thought so too.

Little did they know the vice principal’s real motivations.
