A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 46

Li Yingxue was puzzled, “What snake reading spell?”

Fu Man stood behind her, holding Li Yingxue’s hand, ready to teach her: “In simple terms, it’s mind reading.”

Li Yingxue finally understood that it was “mind reading”.

“Snakes communicate through pheromones, which are our carriers of information. If you can read these pheromones, you can know what the snake is thinking.”

“This way, you won’t have to be afraid of them anymore.”

Li Yingxue looked at her hand being held, her red lips pressed tightly together, and asked her, “Can any snake can be read?”

“Anything is fine, as long as it’s pheromones, it can be read.”

“Okay.” Li Yingxue accepted her compensation.

Fu Man began to teach her: “This time you need to draw a talisman. This talisman is very important. It will only take effect after you draw it. It will absorb pheromones from the air, and through this talisman, it will convey information in a language you can understand.”

Li Yingxue seemed to understand but not quite, probably similar to the function of computer coding.

Fu Man grabbed her hand and drew a talisman, “Did you understand?”

Li Yingxue tried to draw it herself, but halfway through, she forgot the rest. Her hand stopped in mid-air, and she hesitated to continue.

Fu Man then took her hand again, finishing the remaining half of the drawing, “Like this.”

Li Yingxue practiced it several times before memorizing it, “Does this little spell also require spiritual power?”

Fu Man: “Yes.”

Without spiritual power, even if one can draw this talisman, it won’t reveal anything.

After Li Yingxue learned, Fu Man called A Ci in. Li Yingxue watched the blue-ringed golden snake crawling on the ground and secretly drew a talisman.

A Ci’s pheromones were excited. She said, “Your Highness, the golden python you wanted before is so beautiful, all yellow and plump! It’s so comfortable to hold!”

Fu Man looked at Li Yingxue, and Li Yingxue also looked back with a complex expression.

“A Ci, you go out first.”

A Ci: “……” Then why did you call me in?

A Ci could only swing its tail to turn its head and go out.

After A Ci went out, Fu Man finally asked, “So, did you read anything?”

Li Yingxue: “Yes.”

Fu Man wanted to check if she read it correctly, so she asked, “What is it?”

Li Yingxue: “She said you wanted a golden python before.”

Fu Man: “……?”

“Don’t you think she’s a bit excited?” Fu Man felt that the priority was to read out A Ci’s emotions, and only then the content.

Li Yingxue suddenly became much colder: “I read it.”

Fu Man felt that she had taught enough: “Alright then, I will give you spiritual power.”

“Li Yingxue…” Fu Man leaned against the desk, arms crossed, calling her name.

Li Yingxue slightly raised her head: “What is it?”

“……Did she bully you?”

Li Yingxue paused upon hearing this, her gaze momentarily blank, “Who?”

Fu Man recalled her past experiences; every snake taken by Xu Anji had been handed over to her.

Just thinking about it made Fu Man furious, and the rift between her and Xu Anji grew even wider.

But for the first time, she hoped that a human had not suffered that kind of harm.

“……That girl, Xu Anji.”

Li Yingxue glanced at her and retorted, “……What kind of bullying?”

Fu Man has always been straightforward: “Forced mating.”

“……”

When Li Yingxue heard those two words, she was first taken aback, then her brows furrowed tightly, and for a long while, she couldn’t say a word, as if her desire to speak was stifled by the overly blunt expression.

Closing her eyes tightly, her red lips curled coldly: “You’re overthinking it.”

Fu Man was somewhat pleased, the corners of her mouth curling up, “So where did you go yesterday?”

“Didn’t go anywhere.”

Fu Man particularly liked asking her questions, especially since the other party always responded.

“Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?”

Li Yingxue occasionally saw the image of the golden python in her mind. She had a vague impression, but it wasn’t clear enough. After pondering without any conclusion, she looked up at the woman in front of her and said, “I just took her to visit some artificial attractions.”

“I’ll head back first.” Li Yingxue had a faint idea of wanting to go out.

“Li Yingxue.” Fu Man called out to her again, snorting coldly, “I haven’t even been to the artificial attractions in M City.”

Li Yingxue thought that someone like her would disdain visiting artificial attractions and had grand plans for cultivation, so she couldn’t immediately tell whether her words were envious or sarcastic.

“So what?”

“I’ve made up my mind,” Fu Man suddenly looked at her seriously, “To celebrate my perfect score on the driving test, let’s go on a trip to relax and see some man-made attractions.”

“Li Yingxue, what do you think?”

Li Yingxue didn’t think much of it, “Didn’t you say your driving points were almost all deducted?”

“Shut up, you’re not allowed to talk about this anymore.”

“……”

Since she wasn’t allowed to speak, Li Yingxue could only redirect her attention back to going out for a trip to clear her mind. “Going out for a trip is quite nice.”

“Since you think it’s good too, then take me there.” If Xu Anji has such treatment, so should she.

Fu Man walked ahead of her towards the door. Passing by Li Yingxue, she calmly informed her, “We’ll set off tomorrow.”

“Fu Man, I haven’t agreed yet.”

Li Yingxue realized that she had just been played by her when she saw her leave; she still had some social engagements to attend to.

“Agree or not, you have to agree.” Fu Man walked out of the study and headed straight downstairs. By the time Li Yingxue followed her out, Fu Man was already downstairs, chatting with her grandma.

Li Yingxue leaned on the handrail and looked down, seeing them chatting without any generational gap. After a moment of silence, the polite refusal that was on the tip of her tongue turned into her taking out her phone and calling her agent to cancel the social engagements for the next few days.

The agent over there is asking why.

Li Yingxue held her phone in one hand, while her other hand, hanging by her side, unconsciously practiced the talisman.

“Just consider it as me wanting to take a break for myself.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Yingxue received a message from Xu Anji, asking her why she stood her up today.

Li Yingxue finally remembered this matter and, thinking about this person’s offense against her, coldly blacklisted and deleted her in one go.

On the other side, Xu Anji looked at the deleted and blacklisted exclamation mark and suddenly smashed her phone to the ground.

Very good, dare to mess with her.

Xu Anji immediately went to her villa in the forest, intending to bring her grandma back, but when she arrived, she found it already deserted.

“……”

Min Tian looked at the empty house with mixed emotions: “It seems she has already sided with that Fu Man.”

Xu Anji suddenly turned around: “You said she wouldn’t side with Fu Man, so what’s the meaning of this now?”

Min Tian lowered her head: “It’s my fault.”

She thought that with Li Yingxue’s personality, it was impossible for her to rely on others, so she proposed to first use saving her grandma as a way to build a favor, making the other party feel indebted, and then gradually develop a give-and-take relationship.

But she didn’t expect Li Yingxue to unexpectedly side with others, choosing to submit and stand under someone else’s protection.

Min Tian couldn’t help but feel downcast at the thought of being rejected by her…

Xu Anji looked at the empty house with a gradually cold gaze: “At all costs, bring her back to me!”
