Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance-Novel

It's been 5 years already since Mira has been born into this new world. She is a little over 100cm tall, her silvery hair is now down to her waist, she has exquisite jade-like skin, and the deep wine-red eyes give her an almost otherworldly feel. Well, one can say that she is otherworldly.

Even Mira can't explain this beauty and even she isn't attracted to herself. The only thing that she can chalk this up to is her soul that is stronger than normal. Because even her parents are rather average. They both have oak-brown hair, light-brown eyes, and tan skin. Meanwhile, Mira is like a goddess especially compared to the villagers here.

Mira has been using these last five years spending time with her parents, scouting out places to train, learning more about the world, and her geography.

Even though this is her 11th set of parents and her general personality is very cold and aloof, she still cares for her parents. A part of her feels bad for them because her mind is around 10 times their age, but they still allowed her another life, they still take care of her until she is strong enough to take care of herself, and the feelings that her parents have are always full of love and sincerity. These relationships can be considered priceless, especially in the cultivation world, where everyone wants to fight for benefits even families.

Mira has learned a number of things while living here. She's learned that the Skytop mountain near her is classified as a rank 5 danger zone, while the forest that they are right outside is a rank 2 zone. These ranks pertain to the highest-rank magical beast in the area. Skytop mountain has a rank 5 magical beast and the forest has a rank 2 magical beast as the highest.

There are 10 ranks of magical beasts with 1 being the lowest. A rank 1 magical beast is similar to a body transformation expert human. While a rank 10 is similar to an Earth Immortal realm cultivator. That puts a Rank 5 Magical Beast around the Late Foundation Realm. Many times, stronger than the strongest in the village. He could barely be qualified as an ant in front of such a creature.

The village men generally bring back normal animals or the lowest rank 1 magical beasts. Since they are on the outskirts of Dark Moon Forest, these types of animals and beasts are pretty common.

Mira has also spotted a couple of places that she could train, such as a number of caves or nice clearings. These places are relatively close to the village and she is able to spot them when she goes out to collect herbs with her Mother.

She's also learned that the continent she is on is called The Veiled Continent. When she asked why her parents don't know so she put that aside. The nearest city is Lunar Fox City, that city is around 100 kilometers away from Green Grass Village and around once a month a merchant will drop by to buy and sell things. It isn't much, the village generally trades herbs for basic supplies, spices, and various other household items.

Mira wasn't able to learn a whole lot about the world, but that's to be expected in this middle-of-nowhere village.

"Mira! It's time for dinner!"

"Okay! Be right there, Mother!"

Mira ran back to her house to eat dinner with her family.

"So Mira, I've seen a lot of boys trying to get your attention lately. Have you taken a fancy to any of them? Hehe." Jannette asked slyly.

"Nah, they are all too weak and ugly. Not to mention a lot of them are stupid too." Mira said casually.

Both of her parents were shocked that a little girl would speak like that. They both paused for a while and just stared at her then Zach started to break out laughing.

"That's right! Nobody here is good enough for my little girl! Even among the children in Lunar Fox City, she is probably the best! Good! Good!" Zach loudly exclaimed.

"Now Mira, that's no way for a lady to talk. Even though I agree, who knows how the future children in the village will be like." Said Jannette trying to scold her child but knew that this just seemed to be who Mira was. She was a bit more of a wild child rather than a cute little girl. Sometimes Jannette would even catch her sneaking off but just attributed it to her child's personality.

"Mom, Dad I want to tell you something. I know that you two have never really cared about this, but I want to be a cultivator. I know that means that I will have to leave you and this village someday perhaps even this continent, but I want to do that. I want to explore the world, the stars, and what's above the stars. I want to have the power to protect myself from dangers. I want to be able to protect you two as well. I know that this village is small, and the people here know basically nothing about cultivation, but the stories that the Grand Elder in the village tells about his experience outside the village and with others of the world is exactly what I want. I shouldn't need any help until after the Body Transformation phase or at least at the Marrow Tempering Stage. Can you… give me your support in this manner?" Mira asked her parents shyly. Even though she's several hundred years old, her parents are still parents no matter how old or what life she's in.

Zach and Jannette looked at her full of shock. Their mouths her agape and it took them a while to recover, but they just looked at her with smiles full of love. They didn't expect her to be so knowledgeable but knew that it was probably due to the Grand Elder's stories.

"Mira, your mother and I both love you with everything that we have and would give our lives for you. We should be the ones protecting you not the other way around. Even though I want to tell you that it's too dangerous and that you could be killed at any moment for any reason. I can't seem to tell you that you can't do something. You are our precious daughter. You are intelligent, diligent, hard-working, and many other things. We love you no matter what, but I just want to let you know that we can't help you with this. We know nothing about the cultivation world so it will be up to your hard work whether you can succeed or not. But if you feel this place is too small for you then you may leave to pursue your dream. Only if you are strong enough to leave on your own though. Anyways you should wait a couple more years for you to grow before starting to train." Zach said to Mira.

He was very thoughtful with his words and he could also see the determination in Mira's eyes. This is what she wanted to do no matter what.

"Your Father is right Mira. Even though we know nothing about cultivation, we don't want to stop you from achieving your dream. But I do agree that you need to wait a few years and can't leave until you're strong enough. We both love you, Mira." Jannette said lovingly as she pulled Mira into her embrace.

Mira started to tear up at this. Even though she's only spent 5 years with them she still loves them dearly.

"Alright, since we finished dinner you guys help me clean up, and then we should go to bed."

Mira and Zach nodded and they went to work.

***

A couple of miles away from Green Grass Village

"Hehe, I've spotted another village a few miles away from here. What should we do boss?" An ugly many with a round face with lots of scars said.

The Boss smiled lewdly and said, "Of course **** and pillage like we always do. These little villages are full of nothing but weaklings. We will wait till dark then move. Let's do it like always, kill the men and have fun with the women. Oh, and kill any kids as well, but we can still have fun with the girls if they are pretty enough." Another big ugly man said as he licked his lips. The rest of the crew grinned and couldn't wait until dark.

This was a group of criminals called the Forest Hunters. Their name sounds deceiving, but what they really hunt are small villages on the outskirts of various forests. The strongest of them is in the early Qi Condensation Stage while the rest are in the Body Tempering stage. A village-like Green Grass Village is extremely easy to take over.

A few hours went by and soon it was dark outside.
