Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 960: Chapter 871: Defending Our Homeland 1

Later, Du Haokun fell in love with a female journalist named Tian Xueli. Naturally, a girl who could become a journalist was a fashionable and modern girl. Tian Xueli was a female student who had studied abroad, advocating for women’s empowerment and independence, particularly looking down on women who lived by relying on men.

Initially, when Tian Xueli was with Du Haokun, she didn’t have any particular thoughts, but Du Haokun was too kind to her. Tian Xueli was a very bold journalist, daring to write any report, especially on scandals of the affluent families.

For Tian Xueli, writing these was a representation of not succumbing to evil forces. However, this also meant that Tian Xueli faced many crises. When trouble arose, Du Haokun would settle the trouble for Tian Xueli and escort her safely. Over time, Tian Xueli fell in love with Du Haokun.

A girl like Tian Xueli naturally couldn’t become someone’s mistress. To be with Tian Xueli, Du Haokun was determined to divorce Shuangshuang. Shuangshuang was raised as a traditional girl, and coupled with her family’s pressure, she wasn’t allowed to divorce. Naturally, Shuangshuang wasn’t willing to divorce.

In his ambition to divorce Shuangshuang, Du Haokun resorted to hiring someone to seduce her. It was impossible for Shuangshuang to be swayed by another man. When the seduction failed, Du Haokun, in anger and humiliation, directly accused Shuangshuang of having an affair, forcibly divorcing her.

Shuangshuang was heartbroken by this. With her reputation tarnished, Shuangshuang’s family, already unwilling to have their daughter return, completely severed ties with her. They expelled Shuangshuang from the Kou Family, leaving a woman with no survival skills to wander the streets.

In these turbulent times, surviving as a woman without the strength to truss a chicken was naturally challenging, facing various dangers.

Fortunately, Shuangshuang’s cousin, Kou Ronghai, who had been very fond of her since childhood, secretly lent a helping hand now and then. This allowed Shuangshuang to get through her darkest period, without starving or suffering too much.

Later, to gain a means of living, Shuangshuang went to medical school to train as a nurse. She became self-reliant and joined the Red Cross. Eventually, with the outbreak of war, Shuangshuang became a battlefield nurse and ultimately died from stray bullets.

Shuangshuang’s regret was that she wasted too much of her time over Du Haokun. On the battlefield, she witnessed too many soldiers die due to the untimely arrival of aid. She wished she could have been a skilled battlefield doctor instead of merely a nurse, often helpless as she watched injured warriors struggle on the brink of death.

Reincarnating a bit late, Shuangshuang had just held her wedding with Du Haokun, a traditional wedding with the rituals of bowing to heaven and earth and entering the bridal chamber. Now, she was sitting in the bridal room, wearing a bright red bridal dress, with a veil awaiting her husband, Du Haokun.

In this life, Shuangshuang was a person with very faint parental ties. Father Kou and Mrs. Kou regarded Shuangshuang as a mere tool for alliance marriage. Shuangshuang’s marriage to Du Haokun was just for the Kou Family business to stabilize and grow with the support of Du Haokun’s warlord father.

As for Shuangshuang’s wellbeing, whether she suffered or not, they didn’t care. Even when Shuangshuang expressed her suffering and desire for a divorce several times, her parents forcibly suppressed her attempts.

After Shuangshuang was forced to divorce Du Haokun, her parents blamed her for not being able to keep a man’s heart, directly disowning her and leaving Shuangshuang to fend for herself.

Shuangshuang had reincarnated countless times, and each life she had good parents. There were rare worlds with odd fathers, but this was the first time encountering parents who didn’t care for her.

Yet Shuangshuang had her dearly loved parents. Having enjoyed parental love through reincarnation so often, she truly didn’t mind this pair of parents who didn’t care about her. Conversely, she felt relieved of a burden.

If her parents were kindhearted, she would have had to figure out how to settle them. In such chaotic times, handling the Kou family’s large population would be an immense task, far less satisfying than living freely on her own.

With the memories of her past life, Shuangshuang knew that Du Haokun wouldn’t come into the bridal chamber today. Thus, she directly lifted the veil herself, unsure of how long she had been sitting. Now only feeling back and waist aching, Shuangshuang stood up, stretched a bit to relieve the discomfort.

One has to say, the Du Family really neglected their new bride. There wasn’t even a maid to attend her in the room, just an empty room with no one but herself. Apparently, Du Haokun’s dislike for her was well-known before she married into the Du Family, hence the neglect.

Fortunately, the inner room of the bridal chamber had wash and bath supplies and water prepared, probably because Du Haokun was a neat freak, but it was all in vain as he would never enter the room. Not wanting to waste it, Shuangshuang used it without hesitation.

Removing her jewelry and washing off the heavy makeup that could be scraped off her face, she had sweated from the wedding rituals and felt uncomfortable. After a bath and changing into comfortable sleepwear, she instantly felt refreshed and at ease.

The room had a large, sumptuous feast prepared, meant for Shuangshuang and her husband Du Haokun to enjoy together. Now, Shuangshuang enjoyed it all by herself.

After eating and drinking to her fill, Shuangshuang didn’t sleep. In such a dangerous world, cultivating Combat Power was necessary. In these times, especially in the chaotic war years to come, many women lost their lives just because they lacked enough Combat Power to resist.

To ensure obtaining sufficient Combat Power quickly, Shuangshuang used Divine Power to slightly modify this body before entering it.

Now, Shuangshuang only needed to cultivate following her own Martial Arts Skills to become a Martial Arts Master, elevating her Combat Power to the world’s allowable limit.

Sitting and cultivating took an entire night. The world’s permissible Combat Power was quite high, though flying through the air wasn’t feasible, scaling walls was permissible. Now Shuangshuang felt her entire body bursting with strength. Rising from the bed, she felt invigorated.

Stretching her limbs again, feeling the abundant energy within her, Shuangshuang happily changed into a water-blue cheongsam decorated with elegant lotus patterns. Her hair casually tied up, with two amethyst lotus pins slanting inserted.

With her graceful figure in the simple cheongsam and her beautiful appearance, she was uniquely charming. Even in this era filled with cheongsam beauties, Shuangshuang could boast with no exaggeration that her looks were indeed rare and exceptional.
