A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 52

The next day.

When Li Yingxue got up, Fu Man was already nowhere to be seen. She checked the time and guessed that Fu Man had gone to the hot spring underground palace to practice.

On her rare day off, Li Yingxue got up and prepared to go downstairs to chat with her grandma. When her parents used to restrict her, she could count the number of times she saw her grandma in a month on one hand.

“Grandma, are you reading?

Li Yingxue saw her grandma sitting in a wheelchair reading a book in the garden next to the villa. In front of her was a leisure table with afternoon tea and some snacks.

Grandma took off her glasses: “Besides reading, what else can I do?”

Li Yingxue looked at her legs, fell silent. At this age, others could go hiking and sightseeing, could invite friends to dance, but for her grandma, all of this was a luxury. Being unable to walk brought many inconveniences.

“Grandma, I will get the best doctor to cure your leg ailment.”

Grandma kindly shook her head and said, “Silly child, if it could be cured, it would have been cured long ago. Don’t waste money. I’m doing just fine like this.”

Li Yingxue sat across from her, speechless for half a day upon hearing this, realizing that this was something beyond her control. No matter how much money she had, it couldn’t make her grandma stand up again.

Leaning back slowly against the chair, she gazed heavily at the lush garden before her.

Withered trees come to life in spring, and rotten flesh regenerates only that woman has such magic, but what reason does she have to ask her to do this for her own grandma?

Li Yingxue closed her eyes, and the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, casting mottled shadows on her bright face, making her red lips lose their luster.

Sometimes she really envies those from the Holy Spirit Continent, who possess spiritual power and cultivation, allowing them to do many things ordinary people cannot.

And yet, she can only be a useless Omega.

Li Yingxue lowered her gaze to look at the snake ring on her hand, lightly stroking its sheen with her fingertip. She accepted the woman’s gift, but she had nothing that could compare as a return gift.

Grandma saw her looking downcast and couldn’t help but ask, “Got something on your mind? Tell Grandma about it.”

Li Yingxue closed her eyes and bit her lip in annoyance, “Grandma, what would you do if someone gave you a gift that exceeded what you could reciprocate?”

“That can’t be done from the start.” Grandma didn’t think too much about it.

“What if I take it?” Li Yingxue didn’t hide it from her anymore, “The item is very important to me, I can’t refuse.”

That was the magic item that would free her from her Omega physical defects; she had no reason to refuse.

Grandma put down her book, “Then you should consider how that person treats you. Do they see you as a friend? A junior? Or a lover?”

“What if none of them are?”

Grandma asked in confusion, “What is that?”

Li Yingxue: “Maybe… the subjects.”

Grandma was even more puzzled: “Subjects? She is the Empress?”

Li Yingxue knew she had guessed wrong: “Not this Empress.”

But she is indeed the “Empress” of another world. She wants to transcend and become an immortal, to return and protect her countless subjects; that is her grand ambition. She treats herself as she would treat her suffering subjects, which is why she helps unconditionally.

Grandma became curious: “Who is she? What did she give you?”

Li Yingxue, however, remained silent, “Grandma, go read your book.”

Grandma shot her a glance and said, “You child…”

As soon as the words were spoken, a sudden commotion came from beneath the villa, causing the two people in the garden to feel a slight tremor.

Grandma, panic-stricken, said, “What’s going on? Is there an earthquake?”

In just a few seconds, it returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

Grandma: “Did I just have a hallucination?”

From the moment the tremor occurred, Li Yingxue stood up and came to her grandma’s side. Before her grandma could react, the tremor stopped.

Li Yingxue looked towards the villa wall, her gaze falling to the ground. That direction was the hot spring underground palace. She pressed her lips together and said, “Grandma, don’t worry, it’s not an earthquake. I’ll go take a look.”

Grandma: “Be careful, okay…”

Li Yingxue left the garden and headed straight for the hot spring palace.

“Your Highness! What on earth is wrong with you?”

A Ci watched the silver snake thrashing in the hot spring pool, her face full of worry. Just as she was about to step forward, she was swept against the wall by the snake’s tail and fell heavily.

“Your Highness, it’s me, A Ci, sob sob sob…” A Ci, spitting blood, propped herself up, anxious and heartbroken.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure standing at the entrance, backlit. The tall and slender silhouette seemed somewhat familiar. As the figure stepped in with high heels, A Ci suddenly realized it was Miss Li.

Unable to hold back, she shouted, “Miss Li, don’t come over! Her Highness has gone crazy, you’ll get hurt if you come!”

Hearing this, Li Yingxue’s gaze suddenly halted, and she looked up towards the center of the hot spring pool. A massive silver snake was crashing against the wall, but after hitting it once, it seemed to realize it shouldn’t be doing that, so it switched to continuously circling around the hot spring pool.

Trying to calm down.

Li Yingxue looked at A Ci: “Why did she suddenly become like this?”

A Ci shook her head, “I don’t know either. Clearly, Her Highness had been progressing well in her practice these past few days, but suddenly she just went berserk.”

Li Yingxue: “Besides this, is there anything else unusual?”

A Ci pondered deeply, and then her face turned red: “Her Highness is releasing a lot of pheromones into the air. Miss Li, do you think Her Highness wants a little snake?”

Before Li Yingxue could respond, A Ci thought more and more that it was possible, “Then I need to hurry and bring over the golden python that Her Highness likes.”

Saying this, A Ci brushed past Li Yingxue and hurriedly ran out.

Li Yingxue stood still for a long time, from the moment she heard the little snake, then the golden python, her eyelashes slowly drooping.

A subtle, indescribable emotion brushed across her chest.

For her, they are ultimately people from another world.

After a while, A Ci picked up the golden python. Perhaps scared by Fu Man’s snake tail, A Ci only dared to place the golden python down at Li Yingxue’s position.

“Niu Niu, go to Her Highness and comfort her.”

Li Yingxue lowered her gaze to watch A Ci place the golden python down, her eyes involuntarily falling on the beautiful golden python, and her hand at her side unconsciously clenched together.

Seeing it slowly crawling towards the woman, Li Yingxue pressed her red lips into a straight line and turned to leave.

When she walked to the white jade screen outside, a loud roar came from behind her, and soon two snakes rushed out in a panic at her feet.

A golden python, a blue-ringed snake.

The two snakes, their bodies swaying slightly awkwardly, quickly darted out and disappeared with a whoosh.

Li Yingxue quietly watched their departing figures and drew a talisman for them.

——Her Highness is so scary!

——Who says it isn’t? Let’s run!

The hot spring palace was empty, and Li Yingxue stopped, hesitating whether to leave or not, but even A Ci and that golden python had run away.

Isn’t that woman… facing it all alone by herself inside?

Li Yingxue’s footsteps felt like they were filled with lead, and she couldn’t take the next step.

She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again. With a twist of her high heels, she turned back.

Li Yingxue returned to the side of the hot spring once again, watching the massive silver snake circling endlessly, its eerie green eyes streaked with red veins.

I can’t see myself at all.

A Ci said there are many pheromones in the air. Li Yingxue raised her hand to look at the snake ring on her index finger. This snake ring helped her block all Alpha pheromones, including Fu Man’s.

Li Yingxue’s gaze deepened, but she still took it off.

In that moment of taking it off, the intense white musk, so rich that she could barely breathe, enveloped her entire being, permeating every cell in her body.

But strangely, her body was not aroused by this pheromone. This woman’s pheromone did not contain any desire, as if it had been deliberately purified, lacking the lewdness of an Alpha, and even carrying a sense of purity.

Li Yingxue didn’t understand. Looking at the silver snake in front of her, who was suppressing its emotions, she raised her hand to the back of her neck, her chin slightly lifted with indifference.

The next second, the pheromone isolation patch was torn open with a hiss by her.

Countless iris scent pheromone factors surged from the glands at the back of her neck.

Like a trigger, it instantly attracted the attention of the silver snake. It rushed towards Li Yingxue, stood in front of her, and opened its mouth wide, roaring at the person on the ground.

Li Yingxue, with her eyes closed, felt a momentary tightness in her chest from her fierce shout.

After waiting for a long time, Li Yingxue still hadn’t opened her eyes. Her mind was filled with the fierce image of that woman with her blood-red mouth wide open.

Until something bumped into the gland at the back, Li Yingxue’s eyelids finally twitched. After being bumped again, Li Yingxue’s nerves jolted.

That’s a snake’s tongue…

Li Yingxue quietly stood in place, allowing her to touch her with her snake-like tongue. After a moment, slowly, a body embraced her from behind, holding her.

And the snake’s tongue also became…

Li Yingxue opened her eyes, looked at the shadow on the ground, and saw that the woman behind her had transformed back into a snake-bodied figure with a human head.

“What’s wrong with you?” Li Yingxue felt a slight itch at the back of her neck. She held still, not moving, and gazed calmly ahead.

Compared to that snake ring, this little bit of busyness is nothing.

Fu Man didn’t respond to her, remaining lost in her glands, the turbulence in her chest gradually subsiding with the passage of time.

By the time she fully regained consciousness, Li Yingxue’s glands were already red.

Fu Man, shocked and bewildered, let her go: “Li Yingxue… I didn’t mean to.”

How dare she… and even made her glands blush.

Li Yingxue turned around, leisurely put on the snake ring, lifted her eyelids to look at her, and asked, “What happened?”

Fu Man was brought back to the earlier commotion by her question, furrowing her brows in thought, “I don’t know. I was practicing just now when suddenly a surge of energy came up, causing my meridians to go haywire and becoming very agitated.”

“Riot?” Li Yingxue retorted.

Fu Man hummed in response, and Li Yingxue asked her again, “Is it that you’ve hit a bottleneck in your cultivation?”

Fu Man shook her head, “This kind of situation usually doesn’t happen. I’ll go check to see what’s going on.”

“Well…” Li Yingxue paused, “Are you okay?”

When Fu Man heard her concern, she smiled and said, “I’m fine.”

Li Yingxue turned around and prepared to leave: “I’ll head back first.”

Fu Man instinctively touched her hand, “Li Yingxue, I didn’t mean it just now.”

“I know.” Li Yingxue looked into her eyes, her red lips openly revealing, “I just let you lick the glands, not as much as what you did for me before.”

At this moment, Fu Man actually couldn’t discern Li Yingxue’s emotions. In the past, such behavior would have infuriated Li Yingxue, and she would have felt offended, responding with extreme sarcasm.

But this time, she straightforwardly said it was okay.

Fu Man watched her for a while, observing Li Yingxue as she lowered her eyes and applied the pheromone isolation patch, then tucked her glossy black hair behind her back. With every move, she exuded an elegant demeanor.

“Then… thank you.”
