A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 32

When Fu Man realized who had arrived, the attack in her hand quietly dissipated.

Seeing the other person’s shocked expression, Li Yingxue probably knew her identity.

“Did you see everything?” Thinking about how terrified she used to be of snakes, Fu Man rarely fell silent.

Would she also use words like “disgusting” and “annoying” to describe herself as a non-human?

Li Yingxue looked at the injuries on her body and couldn’t speak for a long time.

Such a deep wound actually cut straight from her chest to her abdomen, and there was even blood flowing from it.

“Are you crazy?”

“……?”

Fu Man looked puzzled.

“What did you say?”

Fu Man furrowed her brows, followed her gaze down, saw the injury on her chest, then looked up to see Li Yingxue’s expression.

A guess floated to the surface of my mind.

The snake tail quietly transformed into legs, resting against the wall of the hot spring pool.

“You’re not going to the hospital for treatment, but coming here for medication?”

Li Yingxue seemed to have just realized that she was looking at something she shouldn’t have seen, and slightly averted her gaze.

Sure enough, Miss Li did not see her snake tail.

She was distracted by the wound on her chest.

“No need, I’ll just soak in the hot spring.”

Having said that, Fu Man turned around, but not long after, footsteps could be heard behind her.

The footsteps are about three meters behind her.

“Go to the hospital.”

The four words of indifference reveal a bit of emotionless concern.

“I know my own situation, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Fu Man originally intended to enter the hot spring, but later realized that it was not convenient for Li Yingxue to use the hot spring for healing and recovery here, so she could only pretend to apply medicine.

Thinking this, Fu Man stood up from the hot spring and walked straight to Li Yingxue. Seeing her turn her head away unnaturally, with a barely noticeable smirk at the corner of her mouth, she walked around her to a shelf, took down the medicine from it.

Sitting by the hot spring pool, planning to symbolically wipe a bit.

“Has the captain never seen a woman before? Why is she so shy?”

Fu Man picked up a pair of tweezers and suddenly found it a bit amusing when she thought about her reaction.

A woman’s body is just like that.

The sound of high heels echoed again, approaching me and stopping right in front of me.

Fu Man caught a glimpse of a slender shadow on the hot spring floor, looked up, and saw Li Yingxue with her arms crossed, looking down at her coldly.

At this moment, she’s not shy anymore.

“Urging me to go to the hospital is one thing, but if you want to help me with the medicine, you might as well stay.”

Li Yingxue’s gaze fell on the hot spring pool beside her, a steaming body of water exuding a faint fragrance. After observing her surroundings for a moment, her stern gaze returned to Fu Man’s face.

“Why are you building an underground palace?”

Fu Man took a large cotton ball with tweezers, dipped it in some disinfectant, and while applying it to the wound, replied to her, “Of course, it’s to develop the hot spring. Don’t you think having a hot spring at home is a luxury?”

Li Yingxue looked at her face with suspicion, as if trying to see through whether she was lying.

“Really?”

“What would I gain from lying to you, hissing—”

Fu Man gasped, this potion is too powerful.

Li Yingxue heard her gasp and gradually looked at the wound on her chest, which was still shocking to behold.

However, this woman doesn’t care, so she can’t be bothered to manage it.

With all this fuss, inflammation and infection are to be expected.

I estimate that we’ll hear the news of her passing from the infection the next day.

“I’m leaving first.”

Having said that, Li Yingxue stepped forward, her high heels clicking as she prepared to leave.

“What a ruthless heart,” Fu Man teased, “As your fiancee, don’t you care about me at all?”

Li Yingxue paused for a moment and coldly said, “It’s just a contractual engagement, what does it have to do with me?”

Reminding her to go to the hospital is already the limit of kindness; whether she goes or not is her choice.

Again with this sentence, Fu Man realized she was very good at rejecting all emotional care.

Whether it’s towards others or others towards her.

Fu Man tossed the tweezers into the medicine cabinet, making a slight clink, and with a half-smile, half-sneer, stared at Li Yingxue’s back, then simply spoke up:

“The wound on my back is unreachable. Li Yingxue, can you help me out?”

“Let your A Ci help you.”

Li Yingxue didn’t even bring her head back.

“But I just want you to help me.”

Now, Li Yingxue stopped.

Fu Man persevered: “I really can’t reach it.”

After a brief stalemate, Fu Man felt a bit smug seeing her turn around with a cold expression and then walk towards her.

It’s probably because of the favor I did for her during those days on the deserted island that she was willing to come over.

Fu Man signaled with her eyes that there were tweezers and disinfectant in the first aid kit, then turned around and presented her back to her.

“Just a little bit will do.”

Li Yingxue, with a blank expression, half-squatted down, took a new cotton ball with tweezers, dipped it in the solution, and dabbed it on Fu Man’s back.

Fu Man felt her touch was somewhat gentle, “I got into a fight today, that’s why I have so many injuries.”

“You don’t need to worry too much about me, I won’t die.”

After saying that, someone forcefully pressed a cotton ball onto the wound.

“Do I look like I’m worried about you? Don’t flatter yourself.”

Fu Man automatically filtered her words, letting them go in one ear and out the other.

“Be gentle, it hurts a bit.”

Li Yingxue, not in a good mood, eased up a bit.

Fu Man thought about that black python and intended to tell her how she had injured it and made it flee, but as the words were about to come out, she realized it might scare her, so she gave up.

“Li Yingxue, I have something to ask you.” She brought up another topic.

“What’s the matter?” Li Yingxue lowered her gaze and dabbed some disinfectant again, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the woman’s fair waist/hip as she sat in the hot spring, her brow furrowing slightly.

“If there are two bottles of perfume, one with the scent of mandrake flowers and the other with the scent of… roses, which one would you choose?”

“Mandrake.”

The one concise word made Fu Man fall silent.

“What if it’s a mandrake and white musk?”

Li Yingxue’s hand paused.

“Mandrake.”

“How can you like mandrake?” Fu Man turned around, looking at her in disbelief, “It smells foul and pungent, what do you like about it?”

Li Yingxue suddenly saw the wound on her chest and the fullness on both sides, her gaze indifferent: “I don’t think mandrakes are foul and pungent.”

Fu Man didn’t seem to understand her words: “… Are you saying I’m slandering it?”

Slander it as foul and pungent?

Li Yingxue didn’t respond directly, but countered, “Why can’t I like the scent of mandrake flowers?”

Without stopping, she dipped her hand in the disinfectant again, raised it to her chest, and conveniently disinfected the wound on her chest as well.

Fu Man stared at her face and sneered, “Because it’s not a good thing.”

“Mandrake flowers are poisonous.”

“Oh.” Li Yingxue seemed indifferent and replied.

Fu Man opened her mouth, then closed it again, taking a long time to recover. Her strikingly beautiful brow furrowed slightly, as if she were deep in thought.

Thinking, her attention inexplicably shifted to the delicate hand on her chest.

“How did you even manage to clean the front for me?”

“By the way.”

Fu Man looked at her serious expression, leaning slightly back with one hand propped on the edge.

“You’re a pretty good person.”

After applying the disinfectant and the hemostatic trauma medication, Li Yingxue took out the gauze from the first aid kit, approached Fu Man, and started wrapping it around the wound above her chest.

This way, it will inevitably require wrapping the gauze several times.

Li Yingxue lowered her gaze to the shoulder that was almost touching her nose, a faint white musk lingering on the surface of the skin, swirling around her nostrils.

With a gentle breath, she caught the scent of the woman’s pheromones. Li Yingxue took a deep breath, cast aside all distractions, and focused intently on bandaging her.

After finally finishing the bandaging, Li Yingxue cut off the remaining gauze and put everything back into the first aid kit.

“Alright.”

“Thank you.”

Not sure if it was because she had been squatting for too long and her feet weren’t getting enough blood, but as soon as Li Yingxue stood up, she felt a wave of dizziness.

Fu Man was looking down at the bandages that Miss Li had wrapped for her, almost completely covering from her waist up to her chest.

Her emotions were already complicated when suddenly a shadow fell beside her, and then her face was splashed with water.

“Li Yingxue?”

Fu Man was sitting with her legs crossed, resting her hand on her knee, leisurely watching Miss Li, who had been splashing in the water for three seconds before realizing she was only in the shallow area.

Struggling to suppress the curve of her lips, she said, “You’re so funny.”

Li Yingxue fell into the hot spring pool, the water only covering half of her body. With her hands braced on the ground, she heard the mockery and suddenly looked up, shooting a glare.

“Are you laughing again?”

“What’s wrong with me laughing? You’re an adult, and you still managed to fall into the water out of nowhere…”

The trailing sounds are all muffled laughs from Fu Man, who is struggling to hold back.

“Fu Man!”

Li Yingxue, furious and embarrassed, stood up from the water, waded over to her, and without a word, began to untie the bandage on her chest.

“What are you doing?” Fu Man stopped her, not allowing her to untie it.

Li Yingxue’s eyes were like frost, with a hint of ruthlessness as she glared at her: “I want it back.”

Fu Man finally realized she had gone too far, grabbed her hands, and sincerely apologized, “Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong, alright? I shouldn’t have mocked you.”

“Let go.”

“I let go, you can’t untie it.”

Before Fu Man could let go, Li Yingxue yanked her hand back with force. Fu Man instinctively tightened her grip, inadvertently pulling Li Yingxue closer to herself.

Fu Man, quick-eyed and quick-handed, wrapped her arms around her slender waist, and the overwhelming scent of irises seized her consciousness.

Noticing that Miss Li’s anger level might have reached its peak, Fu Man quickly let go of her hand as soon as she steadied herself.

Li Yingxue stood in front of her, quietly, expressionlessly staring at her.

Fu Man pressed her lips together and said, “I didn’t mean to…”

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a splash of hot spring water poured over her head.

It wet the long hair on both sides of her forehead, dripping down to the ends.

“……”

Li Yingxue stepped ashore in high heels, leaving without looking back.

A Ci came down holding new clothes and encountered Miss Li, who was radiating cold air and had soaked clothes, in the corridor outside. She was somewhat puzzled and instinctively wanted to ask her when she had come in.

“Miss Li——”

“Get lost.”

“……”

A Ci took the clothes inside and saw the empress, with water droplets on her face and her upper body wrapped in gauze, and asked in disbelief, “Are you seriously injured?”

A Ci looked again at the tightly wrapped bandages and asked, “No more spiritual energy?”

Out of oil and light? Can’t treat the wound anymore?

Still, no one replied to her.

A Ci still hadn’t grasped the situation and asked one last question, “Your Highness, did you really win the fight?”

The one who shouldn’t lose is her, right?

Just too embarrassed to say?

Fu Man frowned, finally responding to her with a cold snort: “Bullshit.”

“This bandage was applied by Li Yingxue.”

And she also splashed water all over my face.
