A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 35

Returning to the villa, the servant said Li Yingxue hadn’t come back yet. Upon further inquiry, it turned out she had another scene to shoot in the afternoon.

Fu Man went to the film crew again. Since it wasn’t over yet, Fu Man waited outside for a while and suddenly really wanted to see how Miss Li acted.

So she cast an invisibility spell and swaggered right in.

Li Yingxue played a character whose role was unclear, appearing cool and aloof, dressed in modern attire, a suit and skirt, with simple makeup that inexplicably attracted a lot of attention.

Just happened to catch her acting with another female Alpha.

The two might be playing roles where they have mutual feelings for each other in a romantic yet ambiguous way, like when Li Yingxue sprains her ankle and the female Alpha helps her sit on a bench and kneels down to massage her foot, creating a heart-fluttering scene.

Li Yingxue was very emotional, yet she could perfectly control the degree of her feelings. She stared intently at the female Alpha squatting in front of her, but then had to suppress this feeling for some reason, slightly shifting her gaze and saying:

“You don’t have to be so nice to me…”

Fu Man stood not far from her, listening to her response filled with self-doubt and fear of love, her heart inexplicably tightening.

Lost in thought for a long time.

Until she didn’t know how long it had been, Li Yingxue passed by her, the faint scent of irises brushing past her nose, and only then did Fu Man come back to her senses.

She looked over at the empty bench from just now, stared for a few seconds, then withdrew her gaze and turned to follow.

Li Yingxue packed her things and prepared to leave. She was going back early today because there was only this one scene for her at this location; the rest belonged to others. She didn’t have much to carry, just a bag would do.

Just took a couple of steps when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure leaning against a tree.

Li Yingxue thought about how she had been playing the large-scale “bumper cars” recklessly with others at noon, and now seeing her standing here safe and sound, she was quite surprised.

Li Yingxue paused for a moment, initially intending to walk past directly, but then thought of something and instead of walking away, she hung her handbag on her shoulder, crossed her arms, walked over, and stopped in front of Fu Man.

“You… are quite lucky to be alive.”

Fu Man looked down at her makeup today, which was more detailed and more elegant. When her eyes glanced over, they revealed a hint of aloofness and detachment.

“Why do you… look like you don’t want me to be well at all?”

“Is my death beneficial to you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yingxue rarely fell silent, quietly looking at her without saying a word.

Fu Man clasped her hands behind her back, taking in her expression, and looked up at the sky with a smile: “If I die, our engagement will be as good as over, right? You won’t have to be under the thumb of Lord Fu anymore.”

Li Yingxue didn’t seem interested in discussing these meaningless assumptions with her and instead asked, “What are you here for?”

“As your sister, I’m here to pick you up after work.”

Li Yingxue was taken aback, looked into the eyes of the woman in front of her, and slightly retracted her fingers. The emotions came quickly but were also driven away just as fast.

“Let’s go.” Li Yingxue turned around and took the lead.

After noticing the woman behind her catching up, Li Yingxue closed her eyes, let out a gentle breath, and waited for Fu Man to walk shoulder to shoulder with her. Then, Li Yingxue opened her eyes and walked alongside her.

The parking lot is a bit far away, so the two of them walked slowly.

Fu Man looked ahead at the road: “Today I heard you came to the driving training range to see me.”

Li Yingxue: “Just passing by to take a look.”

Fu Man glanced at her several times and said, “I also heard that you seem to be affected by those pheromones… Is it serious?”

“I took an inhibitor.”

“Sorry, I got into a fight with someone today and didn’t consider that you were there too.”

She thought that the driving training range would only have her, the black python, and a few coach, but she didn’t expect her to come over.

If she had known she was coming, she definitely wouldn’t have used a pheromone attack.

At that time on the deserted island, after Li Yingxue was affected by the aggressive Alpha pheromones, she was in so much pain that she saw everything with her own eyes. Li Yingxue even thought about destroying her glands to free herself from this physiological constraint.

Li Yingxue lowered her gaze: “You don’t need to apologize to me; it was my fault for coming over.”

“Li Yingxue, if there were something that could help you avoid all Alpha pheromones, would you want it?”

Li Yingxue suddenly stopped, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

Fu Man held her left hand and faced her: “Just say whether you want it or not.”

“Is there such a thing?”

“Yes.”

“How much is it?”

“……”

Fu Man shot her a glance: “Miss Li, can you stop talking about money all the time?”

Li Yingxue: “So what do you want me to talk about?”

She lifted her head to meet Fu Man’s gaze, throwing out each word one by one to test: “Feelings? Human emotions? Or—”

“It’s concern.”

“……”

Fu Man watched her suddenly stop talking, clearly not expecting her to respond like that. Fu Man lowered her gaze and took out a box, handing it to her: “This, wear it and you won’t be affected by any Alpha pheromones.”

Li Yingxue looked at her, then at the exquisitely packaged box in her hand, and hesitantly took it.

“What is it?”

“Just open it and you’ll see.”

Li Yingxue pulled apart the pink ribbon, slowly opened the box lid, and a snake shaped ring appeared before her eyes.

She was even more puzzled, “Isn’t this the snake ring I lost?”

“Did you fish it out?”

Fu Man could only deny it: “No, this is another one, the design is still somewhat different.”

Li Yingxue’s gaze returned to the box. Indeed, some parts of the design were different, but the texture gave her the same feeling as the one that fell into the sea last time.

Regardless of whether it’s the same one, Li Yingxue retorted, “Are you saying this can avoid all Alpha pheromones?”

Fu Man nodded, “Yes.”

“Do you think I would fall for your tricks to deceive young girls?”

Li Yingxue instinctively didn’t believe it, even found it absurd, and abruptly closed the box and handed it back to her.

After finishing her sentence, she was about to leave when Fu Man’s expression changed in an instant. She grabbed Li Yingxue’s wrist and pulled her back.

“You didn’t believe it before, so you should give it a try.”

“Li Yingxue, aren’t you being a bit rash?”

Without even trying it on, she dismissed her snake ring.

She is the dignified Empress of the Snake Realm; how could I possibly deceive her?

Perhaps she pulled a bit too hard; Li Yingxue lost her balance and stumbled into her arms.

Fu Man’s hand, holding the box, lightly supported her waist.

“I didn’t mean to.”

“Who told you to walk so fast?”

Glancing at Li Yingxue, who shot a look at her collarbone, Fu Man planned to forget the words, “Who told you to walk so fast?”

“Give it a try first.” She let go of her hand to let her steady herself.

Li Yingxue’s attention was brought back to the snake ring by her, and she looked at her hesitantly, as if trying to see if she was lying.

Until she felt she wasn’t being deceitful, she tried to open the box again, took out the snake ring on top, and put it on her index finger.

The moment she put it on, she didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the air around her felt much fresher.

“Does it really work?”

Li Yingxue looked at the exquisitely designed and elegant snake ring on her index finger, half in doubt.

How could a ring have such a function?

“When have I ever lied to you?”

Fu Man raised her hand and touched the pheromone isolation on the back of her neck: “I’ll see if lifting it can affect you.”

Suddenly, her wrist was tightly grasped, and Fu Man was taken aback: “What’s wrong?”

Li Yingxue looked at her with a complex expression: “Don’t release pheromones on the street.”

Fu Man, out of the corner of her eye, saw the passing pedestrians, which could indeed affect others.

“Then where are we going?”

Li Yingxue walked towards her car, and the two of them entered the back seat one after the other, closing the car door.

“Verifying it here isn’t impossible either.”

Fu Man sat next to her, lifted the pheromone isolation patch, and activated the pheromone release.

She has already learned to emit pheromones without using her spiritual power.

“How is it?” she raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

Li Yingxue frowned, her eyes filled with suspicion: “Are you trying to deceive me?”

“What do you mean?” Fu Man didn’t react.

Li Yingxue, however, did not speak anymore, just quietly watching her.

Fu Man suddenly understood, “You were afraid that I would tell you I released pheromones, but in reality, I didn’t, making you think the snake ring was in effect?”

Li Yingxue remained silent, which was taken as an agreement.

Fu Man looked at her with a cold face: “Then take it off and try, and you’ll know if I’m lying to you.”

Li Yingxue, realizing it belatedly, understood that this was indeed a way to verify whether she was lying.

Frustration flashed by.

Slowly removing the snake ring, without the protection, the car was filled with the rich scent of white musk pheromones, making her heart race.

Soon, the area behind the ear was visibly stained red.

The ripples in the depths of the eyes shimmer.

The impulse called desire permeates every cell, almost uncontrollable.

Li Yingxue’s expression remained unchanged as she closed her eyes and swallowed hard, forcing herself to act as if nothing was wrong, coldly staring at Fu Man.

If it weren’t for Fu Man’s keen eyes noticing her ears turning red, one would really think she wasn’t affected. She pursed her lips, took her hand, and put the snake ring on her.

The Alpha pheromones instantly vanished without a trace. To be precise, they didn’t actually disappear; it was just that Li Yingxue couldn’t smell them. The snake ring on her seemed to have formed a natural barrier, isolating all Alpha pheromones.

“Fu Man…”

Li Yingxue lowered her eyes as she watched her put the snake ring on her hand. The sensation of their skin touching, the almost negligible temperature difference between them, seemed magnified at that moment, capturing her attention.

Beneath her cool and elegant demeanor, she frowned, turned her face away, and swallowed.

Li Yingxue forced herself to shift her focus, slightly stood up, retrieved a suppressor from the front seat, skillfully tore open the packaging, and was about to inject it.

“Doesn’t it hurt?” Fu Man stopped her hand and saw that there were already seven or eight needle marks on her arm.

She has always been overly reliant on inhibitors.

Even the drawer in the bedroom is filled to the brim with suppressants.

But this is also something that all Omegas cannot change.

This time, Li Yingxue didn’t let her go immediately.

“Used to it.” Li Yingxue replied indifferently, wanting to continue.

The night outside the window had unknowingly fallen, and the beams of headlights from speeding cars quickly swept past their window, bringing fleeting flashes of light.

Fu Man held her wrist, preventing her from moving. As the car headlights swept by, she looked into Li Yingxue’s beautiful, jade-like eyes, which were adorned with a hint of intoxicating blush, the light in her eyes shimmering gently.

“You…”

“What do you mean?”

Li Yingxue also stared at her blankly, her voice softening, completely unaware that her tone at that moment was as gentle as a kitten, scratching at the heartstrings.

Fu Man slightly tightened her grip, holding the delicate white fingers a bit tighter. It seemed she could smell the fragrance of irises all over the mountains, tantalizing her senses.

“How about…”

Listening to the first two words she said, Li Yingxue seemed to guess what she was going to say next, and for a moment, her breathing eased.

“How about… I temporarily mark it?”
