A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 45

The next day, Li Yingxue prepared to go to the villa in the forest to pick up her grandma.

As soon as she got down, she saw Fu Man sitting in the driver’s seat of the car.

Li Yingxue looked at her: “Do you want to go with me?”

“Otherwise?” Fu Man pulled out her freshly obtained driver’s license, “Full marks.”

Li Yingxue stared at the driver’s license for a few seconds, then got into the car with complete trust.

“Okay.”

Li Yingxue fastened her seatbelt and looked up to see that the woman in the driver’s seat had already fastened hers.

She looked at her with new eyes.

Halfway there.

Near the traffic light, Li Yingxue calmly watched the woman being stopped by the traffic police and issued a ticket.

She reluctantly handed over her driver’s license, her brows tightly furrowed, as if she were about to resort to some unnatural means to evade the situation.

But for some unknown reason, she didn’t dodge and honestly listened to the traffic police deducting her newly earned points, her face growing darker by the minute.

“Be more careful next time.” The traffic police officer issued a ticket and then let them go.

Fu Man drove out of the city with a dark face, “Li Yingxue, are you laughing at me in your heart?”

Li Yingxue turned her head to the other side, looking out the car window, “No.”

“I think you do.” Fu Man glanced at her side neck through the rearview mirror, then looked back, “You need to forget.”

Li Yingxue: “I can’t forget.”

Fu Man’s hand resting on the steering wheel became more pronounced as she tightened her grip, “I can help you forget.”

Li Yingxue still spoke in her usual calm tone: “I disagree.”

Fu Man snorted, “After I’m gone, keeping this memory won’t do you any good.”

Fu Man suddenly thought that if she were to return to the Holy Spirit Continent, in a distant world, there would be a woman who had once seen her embarrassing moments and kept memories of her, Fu Man…

Even if she becomes an immortal, it will still be to the extent of feeling heartbroken.

Li Yingxue did not respond to her.

Upon arriving at the villa in the forest, Li Yingxue led her through the meticulously crafted courtyard, where even every tree and piece of wood was carefully designed, to the entrance, and then into the house.

Fu Man followed her, “By the way, I wonder if your Grandma still remembers me.”

Li Yingxue: “She doesn’t have Alzheimer’s.”

“What is Alzheimer’s disease?” Fu Man was still somewhat unfamiliar with this technical term.

When she first arrived, she only had a superficial understanding of this world and didn’t delve too deeply.

Because she deeply knows she doesn’t belong here.

“A kind of…” Li Yingxue suddenly stopped, raised her eyes to look into hers, and the rest of the words lingered unspoken.

“What kind of?” Fu Man’s curiosity was piqued by her.

“A disease that causes memory loss.”

Fu Man understood, thought for a moment, and then looked at Li Yingxue with a smile: “Well, in a few decades, you probably won’t remember the embarrassing incident today when I almost lost all my driving points.”

Li Yingxue didn’t find it a funny joke at all. She shot her a cold glance, turned around, and walked away.

The servant pushed grandma out, and although she seemed relatively spry, she hesitated upon seeing Fu Man and asked, “Who are you…?”

Fu Man glanced at Li Yingxue and explained to the elderly person, “I am your granddaughter’s… fiancee.”

Grandma suddenly realized, “Oh, it’s you. I remember you, dear.”

Fu Man raised an eyebrow: “Then what should you call me, Grandma?”

This left Grandma stumped: “You call… you call…”

“Fu Man.” Fu Man started to continue her words.

Grandma was a bit happy: “Yes, yes, yes, Fu Man, Xiao Man.”

Li Yingxue watched her sit on the sofa and start chatting with her grandma, then had someone bring over tea.

The servant responded and turned to bring it over. Li Yingxue stopped her, took the tray from her hands, and sent the servant away.

Only the three of them were left in the living room, and Fu Man and her grandma were chatting happily.

Grandma asked, “Xiao Man, what do you do?”

Fu Man replied to her seriously, “I practice magic.”

Grandma seemed to half-understand: “A Taoist priest?” Then she looked at her outfit, “Or a nun?”

“That’s not right, that’s not right. A nun can’t marry our Yingxue at all.” Grandma denied herself.

“Is that the Taoist priest?”

“……” Fu Man opened her mouth, hesitated, then hesitated again, “Just take it as it is.”

Grandma asked again, “So what does this Taoist priest study on a regular basis?”

Fu Man: “Research how to become an immortal.”

Grandma seemed to be stunned, staring at her for quite a while, as if only then realizing how unreliable she was.

“Is your brain… okay?” Grandma made a sharp remark with her toothless mouth.

“……” Fu Man was not at all polite, “Thank you for your concern, Grandma, but maybe you should take care of yourself first.”

Grandma: “……”

Grandma gave her a displeased glance.

Li Yingxue watched them bicker back and forth, a hint of a smile fleeting across her indifferent expression.

She walked over to them and poured a glass of water for each of them.

Fu Man took it, and when her hand brushed against Li Yingxue’s, she couldn’t help but look a little longer. Who would have thought that just those two glances would meet Li Yingxue’s gaze, and the next second, they both quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

Li Yingxue watched her grandma drink water and explained the purpose of her visit: “Grandma, I want to take you to the place where Fu Man and I live.”

“Isn’t it quite nice to live here?” Grandma couldn’t understand.

“The security here is not good.” Li Yingxue could only explain it tactfully; she couldn’t exactly say that a black snake might retaliate against her.

Grandma understood as soon as she thought about it and naturally went along with her granddaughter’s idea: “Then just move out.”

“Are we moving now?” Grandma asked again.

Li Yingxue nodded, “Yes.”

The servant has already sorted through Grandma’s things and packed them into the suitcase.

Li Yingxue was pushing her grandma’s wheelchair to the car outside the house, and just as she was about to lift her grandma into the back seat, someone else beat her to it and placed her grandma in the back seat.

Li Yingxue stood to the side, watching with a complicated expression, until the servant placed the suitcase in the trunk and closed the rear hatch with a loud bang, which brought her attention back.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Fu Man closed the car door.

After about ten minutes, a car slowly drove down the winding asphalt road through the forest.

After bringing Grandma back, considering the travel arrangements, Li Yingxue settled her in a room on the first floor.

“Grandma, we have quite a few servants at home. Let me introduce them to you…”

Li Yingxue originally wanted to introduce the household servants to her grandma one by one, but just as she reached out, she remembered that these servants were not human. A few days ago, they had even teamed up with Fu Man to intimidate her. The introduction she had prepared turned into: “Grandma, are you afraid of snakes?”

Grandma: “A snake?”

Li Yingxue nodded.

Grandma: “Where did the snake come from?”

Li Yingxue hesitated, thinking to herself that the whole house was filled with snakes, and every time you opened your eyes in the morning, you would basically see snakes.

“Then sprinkle some sulfur.” Grandma seemed to consider that since this is a mountain villa, it’s quite normal to have wild snakes visiting.

“……” Li Yingxue gave up, her red lips calmly parted, “Grandma, I will handle this matter.”

In Li Yingxue’s words, handling this matter well means finding the leader of these snakes—Fu Man—and having a chat.

She came to Fu Man’s study.

Looking at the woman sitting in the high-backed chair, she got straight to the point: “Fu Man… can you make those snakes not turn into snakes in front of my Grandma? Or half-human, half-snake forms?”

Fu Man didn’t say anything, and Li Yingxue added, “The old woman’s heart might not be able to handle this shock.”

“Li Yingxue, why do I feel like you’re hinting at something? Hmm?” Fu Man retorted, “Sleeping with me, a half-human, half-snake, every day—doesn’t your heart feel a bit excited?”

“……” Li Yingxue was left speechless, and could only change her words to emphasize, “I was talking about those servants.”

Fu Man didn’t continue to tease her: “Okay, I’ll talk to them later.”

Li Yingxue was getting ready to go out when she suddenly stepped on a snake’s tail with her high heels as she turned around.

She looked down and saw a blue-ringed golden snake.

Bright and terrifying colors, because it was stepped on, it suddenly turned around and opened its mouth to scare people.

But upon seeing who it was, it retracted its sharp teeth and transformed into A Ci’s appearance.

“Miss Li…” A Ci glanced at Fu Man, then at Li Yingxue, realizing they were in a discussion, and made an excuse to leave.

Li Yingxue’s pale face had not yet recovered, but she did not turn back to look at the woman behind her. She simply stepped forward and prepared to leave.

“Li Yingxue.” Fu Man suddenly called her.

Li Yingxue stood firm, not looking back, lowering her gaze to hide the fear. She still couldn’t look the snake in the eye.

“Spit it out.”

“Were you scared yesterday?” Fu Man stood up from her chair, stepping in her high heels one by one to walk behind Li Yingxue. “I actually went a bit too far; I shouldn’t have scared you like that.”

Especially knowing that she has psychological trauma in this regard.

Fu Man stood still, looking down at Li Yingxue’s shoulder, “As compensation, I’ll teach you a little spell.”

Li Yingxue still didn’t turn around because she felt Fu Man’s body almost pressed against her back. “What spell?”

“Snake reading spell.”
