A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 39
The next morning.
Li Yingxue was blinded by the early morning sunlight and opened her eyes. She raised her hand to shield her eyes and took a long time to adjust.
“Awake?”
A familiar voice pulled her back to reality, and Li Yingxue’s nerves jolted as she turned her head with difficulty.
In the spacious bedroom, a woman with a human head and a snake body walked past her.
Li Yingxue’s body went rigid, and the scene from last night began to replay endlessly in her mind.
She is a snake, a monster.
This matter is true.
“What’s wrong? Still not awake?”
Fu Man came to the foot of the bed, observing her expression, the corners of her mouth curling up: “Want to go back on your word?”
Li Yingxue saw that her upper body looked human, but underneath her clothes was a snake’s body, and she closed her eyes tightly.
“……No, I just…” Li Yingxue covered her eyes with both hands, then opened them again, “I’m just a bit unaccustomed to it.”
“Unaccustomed to what?” Fu Man glared at her.
“Unaccustomed to getting along with a monster.”
Fu Man’s expression turned cold: “You’re mistaken, you’re not just dealing with one monster.”
Li Yingxue stared blankly and looked up.
Fu Man maliciously said with a smirk, “From now on, I’ve replaced all the servants in the house with my people. Not only will you have to sleep in the same bed with me, but you’ll also have to get along with my people.”
“……”
“Not happy?” Fu Man asked leisurely in response.
Li Yingxue returned her a grim smile.
Fu Man let out a cold snort and walked out in front of her.
Li Yingxue’s eyes were fixed on the snake tail that swayed flexibly behind her until the door closed.
She suddenly came to her senses, fell onto the bed, and pulled the blanket over herself completely.
The terrifying giant snake—
The phone rang, and Li Yingxue reached for her phone. Seeing the incoming call, she returned from the fantastical world to reality.
Her parents are asking for money again.
The other party said they would give a definite answer on which day.
Li Yingxue clenched her fist and told them, “The day after tomorrow.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Yingxue lifted the blanket, changed into a new dress, applied a delicate and appropriate makeup, and then opened the door to go out.
Downstairs, Fu Man had returned to her human form and accepted the gift bag handed over by A Ci.
“What is it?”
A Ci: “Miss Li sent it to you a few days ago. Since you didn’t allow anyone to go down and disturb you, it’s been here with me.”
Fu Man let out a sound, took a box out of the bag, slowly opened it, and what came into view was an always luxurious and extravagant watch.
Meanwhile, the figure of Li Yingxue stepped out from the bedroom on the second floor, and Fu Man’s gaze slowly shifted from the watch to Li Yingxue.
“Is the watch expensive?”
A Ci glanced at the brand on the sign, a top luxury watch brand she recognized, and nodded emphatically, “Expensive!”
Li Yingxue came to her side, and Fu Man signaled A Ci to step aside.
“Need something from me?”
“Yes.”
Fu Man knew that this watch wouldn’t be given to her for no reason.
“Kill someone or set a fire?”
Li Yingxue was taken aback by her startling words. Seeing her face, which looked exactly the same as before, still made her feel uneasy deep down.
“None of them.”
“How about we have a small banquet at home? Invite my parents over.”
Fu Man lifted her eyelids, “Is that the only requirement?”
Li Yingxue nodded.
Fu Man gestured with her eyes, “Put it on for me.”
Li Yingxue was taken aback at first, but then realized that she had agreed, “Okay.”
Li Yingxue took out the silver watch from the box, opened the clasp, and the watch strap immediately widened by a circle, starting to fit over Fu Man’s fingertips. Li Yingxue saw a notch on her fingertip and instantly recalled the scene from last night.
Her expression slightly changed, but she didn’t say anything. After the watch reached her wrist, Li Yingxue held her hand with both hands, pressed slightly, and fastened the buckle.
“Alright.”
She raised her head, her gaze slightly lowered, her expression neither servile nor arrogant.
Fu Man examined the watch for a few moments and said, “Not bad.”
“You take care of it.” She hand over the reins to her.
Li Yingxue was taken aback, watching Fu Man turn and leave, her gaze shifting complexly to the servant at home.
And today, Fu Man just said that all the servants at home have been replaced, replaced by her own people.
She is a snake, and her people are probably… not human.
Li Yingxue mentally prepared herself and stepped forward in her high heels to give specific instructions.
After giving the instructions, call her parents.
“Fu Man said she wants to treat you two to a meal, come over tomorrow.”
The Li couple over there were puzzled: “Why did she suddenly want to treat us to a meal?”
Li Yingxue said expressionlessly, “Ask Fu Man.”
After finishing the call, Li Yingxue stared at the phone screen for a few seconds.
3, 2, 1
The screen lit up, and sure enough, they were back.
Li Yingxue pressed her red lips tightly together and raised her phone.
“What time should we go?”
11 a.m.
After dealing with these matters, Li Yingxue looked at the house full of busy servants, her expression slightly tense.
Looking again at her fiancee, whom she originally despised… as soon as she closed her eyes, it was a human head on a snake’s body…
A long and large silver snake body swayed back and forth in front of her.
Li Yingxue brushed away the images in her mind.
In the study, A Ci watched Fu Man, who kept glancing at her watch, hesitating for a long time before finally speaking up.
“Your Highness, won’t we scare Miss Li like this?”
“Scared her?” Fu Man turned around from the high-backed chair, “Once you get scared, your courage will grow.”
A Ci mourned for Miss Li for three seconds, “Will she spill the beans about us?”
“She doesn’t dare.”
“……”
“A Ci, go buy a bigger bed and come back.”
“……”
A Ci could only comply and go buy a big bed to replace the one in the bedroom.
By evening, Li Yingxue returned from outside; she had already arranged for everything to be ready for tomorrow.
She’s feeling pretty good.
It’s just that this feeling froze after seeing the bed in the bedroom, which was twice as big.
Especially when the gaze fell upon the snake tail coiled on the surface, it vanished without a trace.
Fu Man heard the sound of her opening the door, merely glanced at her calmly, and didn’t respond.
She continues reading the “Safe Driving Starts Here” in her hands.
Li Yingxue’s hand was still gripping the doorknob, with a strong impulse to turn around and leave, but in the end, she walked to her wardrobe with an unchanged expression, took out her pajamas, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Half an hour later, Li Yingxue came out drying her hair, pretending to be calm as she sat on the other side of the bed, facing away from Fu Man, and started blow-drying her hair at the head of the bed.
Blowing and blowing—
“You’re a bit noisy.”
Fu Man put down the “Safe Driving Starts Here” and quietly stared at her.
Li Yingxue’s back stiffened, she turned off the hairdryer, “I’ll go outside to dry my hair.”
Saying this, she was about to get out of bed.
“Stop.”
Li Yingxue stood firm.
“Come here.”
Li Yingxue took a deep breath, turned around, and locked eyes with the woman in bed, who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
“Come over here.”
Li Yingxue hesitated for a moment, put down the hairdryer, and walked around the end of the bed to her side.
“Come a little closer.”
Li Yingxue tightened her jaw and moved a bit closer to her.
Just as she leaned in, a hand brushed against the back of her head. Li Yingxue, like a startled bird, wanted to retreat, but Fu Man was faster, grabbing her wrist and forcefully pulling her onto the bed in front of her.
By the time Li Yingxue reacted, her hand was propped up on the bed, and half an arm’s length away was the snake tail, which was even slightly coiling and tightening. Li Yingxue’s breath caught in her throat as she turned her head to look at Fu Man’s half-human body.
She gave up resisting and let the woman touch her hair.
Magically, in less than a second, her hair was completely dry.
After being released, Li Yingxue hurriedly stood up and, belatedly, touched the long hair hanging in front of her chest.
She knew she was extraordinary, but this fantasy that transcended technology still left her unable to find peace within.
Fu Man placed the book on the bedside table.
“I’m ready to sleep.”
Saying this, Fu Man lay down, covering herself with a large blanket, including her snake tail.
Before long, half of a snake’s tail drooped down from under the blanket at the foot of the bed.
Li Yingxue stood by the bed, hesitating to move. Her hand, which hung by her side, curled up and then relaxed again, her red lips pressed together without uttering a word.
She is weighing her options and also mentally preparing herself.
But in the end, she gritted her teeth, pulled back the covers, and lay down.
Afraid of her feet touching the wrong places, Li Yingxue tried to curl up at the edge of the bed, resting her arm and staring wide-eyed at the side of the bedside table.
Sleepiness overcame her, and in the end, she couldn’t resist and fell into a deep slumber.
The next day.
Li Yingxue woke up early because her parents were coming over.
Just as she woke up, noticing something wrapped around her ankle, Li Yingxue turned her head to look at the woman beside her, her brow twitching.
She saw that the woman beside her was still fast asleep. Li Yingxue, unable to believe it, lifted the blanket on her side, revealing her bony, slender ankles beneath her nightgown.
A silver snake tail is coiling around her ankle!
Li Yingxue’s face turned pale, and for a moment, she recalled many bad experiences. Just as she was about to reach out to untie it, she suddenly thought of something and quickly retracted her hand.
That feeling of snake scales, the tightness of flesh being constricted… she never wanted to experience it again.
Like a nightmare, it has haunted her for half her life.
But if she wakes this woman up, she will directly appear in front of her with a human head and a snake body.
Under cohabitation, this woman’s habits have become indistinguishable from those of humans; she only looks up when she doesn’t see each other and looks down when she do.
The best way is to take care of her own business before she wakes up and leave quickly.
Li Yingxue gritted her teeth and reached out to touch the snake’s tail. The first sensation was the firm, meaty texture, the scales glistening like fine jade. The icy scales carried a burning warmth that reached her palm. Li Yingxue tried hard to ignore the damned sense of familiarity, her cold face straining as she forced it open.
After finally creating a small gap, Li Yingxue quickly pulled her foot back, and after being rescued, she swiftly released her grip, her eyes filled with disdain and fear.
Quickly get out of bed, wash up, get dressed, and head out in high heels.
Li Yingxue stood outside the door, with her back to it, gripping the doorknob. Perhaps due to the pent-up frustration she had been unable to release over the past few days, she paused for a few seconds at the door and then forcefully slammed it shut.
“Bang——”
With that remark, Li Yingxue lifted her chin, her red lips exuding a cold allure, and stepped forward with an air of aloofness.
Not caring at all whether the loud sound of the door slamming had woken any of the snakes inside.
