A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 60

Li Yingxue went to the pharmacy on the first floor and took an ice pack. The two of them left the hospital and drove back.

On the way, Li Yingxue held the ice pack under her throat.

Fu Man glanced at her through the rearview mirror from time to time, “Do you want to drink some porridge when we get back?”

It would be easy to choke on hard food.

Li Yingxue replied with an “hmm”.

After dinner and a hot shower, Li Yingxue felt her throat was a bit better.

When Fu Man went to take a shower, Li Yingxue sat in front of the dressing table and applied hand cream. When she applied neck cream, her hand paused.

She couldn’t help but think of the scene when Fu Man touched her throat at dinner…

Li Yingxue raised her eyes to look at the woman in the mirror, who was absentmindedly applying neck cream. For a moment, she seemed to see Fu Man standing beside her, her left hand resting on the back of her head, and her right hand touching her throat, asking reproachfully, “Why didn’t you tell me…”

Li Yingxue closed her eyes and shook off this image.

Just then, Fu Man came out after taking a shower. Because she didn’t like wearing wet slippers, she would always come out directly as a human-headed snake, wearing a silver ice silk thin nightgown.

There was a hint of sensuality in her casualness.

She saw Li Yingxue applying something in front of the dressing table and curiously leaned over.

“Li Yingxue, what are you putting on your neck? I don’t remember the doctor prescribing any medicine for you.”

Li Yingxue glanced at her through the mirror and saw the snake’s belly and the lustrous scales under her ice silk nightgown, “Neck cream, it’s not medicine, it’s a skin care product.”

Fu Man asked, “What’s the use?”

Li Yingxue replied expressionlessly, “To delay the appearance of neck wrinkles.”

Fu Man suddenly realized, “Put some on me, I want to use it too.”

Li Yingxue looked at her incredulously, “Why do you, a snake, need neck cream.”

Fu Man bent down and scooped a large spoonful of the expensive neck cream, “Didn’t you say you wanted me to experience your technology? I’m experiencing it now.”

After saying that, Fu Man applied it to her neck following Li Yingxue’s method.

Li Yingxue was speechless.

Unable to bear seeing her waste it, Li Yingxue couldn’t help but turn around in her chair, pushed Fu Man’s hand away, and gently applied it to her neck with both hands, her red lips coldly saying, “You’ve wasted it all.”

Fu Man leaned against the back of the chair, and when she heard what she said, she couldn’t help but ask, “It’s very expensive?”

“Of course,” Li Yingxue replied.

“Then… I’ll use more, who told me I can’t afford it.” Fu Man suddenly raised an eyebrow at her, with no guilt for wasting it, and her eyes fell on the pile of bottles and jars on her table.

Li Yingxue finished applying the neck cream for her and followed her gaze to the table. Then she looked at the old monster in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she agreed, “Okay, I’ll give you my entire nighttime skincare routine.”

Fu Man was asked to lie on the bed, and Li Yingxue pulled a chair and sat next to the bed and dressing table. She applied a face mask to her and when she spread it on Fu Man’s face, her fingertips would touch her face from time to time.

Fu Man felt a little itchy and was about to speak, “Li Yingxue…”

“Shut up.” Li Yingxue glared at her coldly, “Don’t talk when you’re wearing a face mask, and don’t laugh.”

“…” Fu Man had all her words blocked in her throat, and looked at her with a speechless expression. Finally, she thought of a way and used ventriloquism.

“Why can’t I talk?”

Li Yingxue was startled by her sudden voice and looked at her with narrowed eyes, “Were you talking just now?”

Fu Man explained, “Yes, I was using ventriloquism.”

Li Yingxue didn’t say anything, lowered her eyes and tidied up the edges and corners of the mask around her nose and eyes, “It’s a little scary.”

Fu Man rested her head on the pillow and looked at Li Yingxue’s beautiful eyes that were so close, and asked, “Really? I thought you weren’t afraid of snakes anymore.”

She often saw her reading snake pheromone information.

Li Yingxue finished tidying up the mask and warned her, “Take it off in fifteen minutes.”

Then she added, “You’re different from them.”

Fu Man asked, “What’s the different?”

“They’re not as big as you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yingxue frowned, realizing that something was wrong with her words, and looked down at the woman’s snake body, adding, “I mean your snake tail.”

As soon as the last word fell, she realized that she had said something wrong again, and Li Yingxue was stunned. She closed her eyes in annoyance.

Fu Man looked at her for a while, combined with her explanation, she vaguely understood, “I see.”

Li Yingxue no longer paid attention to her. At this moment, her phone lit up, and it was a message from her agent.

Fu Man asked, “Who sent you a message?”

“My agent,” Li Yingxue replied.

Fu Man asked, “Why is she looking for you in the middle of the night?”

Li Yingxue lowered her head to look at the message on the screen. The light of the screen shone on her face, emitting an indescribable softness.

“She said she has a good script and wants me to see if I want to take it.”

Fu Man probably guessed her concerns, “Are you worried about the conflict between cultivation and acting?”

Li Yingxue looked up from the phone screen, “Yes.”

But compared to being broke, she valued cultivation more. After all, it was a way for her to become stronger, but acting meant she would have a stable income.

She wanted both money and cultivation.

“Why don’t you postpone it?” Fu Man didn’t know much about this, so she could only suggest that she postpone it, “Establishing your foundation is a crucial step. If you’re not careful, you might mess up and become a fool.”

Hearing her words, Li Yingxue made a decision right away and replied to her agent with a rejection.

“I rejected it. I won’t have any public appearances for a while,” Li Yingxue looked at the time and it was almost time, so she took off the mask for her, “Go wash your face.”

Fu Man didn’t say anything, she just went to the bathroom to wash her face and came back, lying back down.

Li Yingxue took a hot towel and wiped her face, “It helps to relax your skin.”

Then she dripped some essence on it and massaged it to help it absorb.

“Li Yingxue, I feel really good,” Fu Man joked, “You’re the first human to take care of my skin. I’ll always remember you.”

Li Yingxue heard the first few sentences and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. But when she heard the last sentence, the corners of her lips immediately turned down.

“Remember me?” Li Yingxue lifted her eyelids and looked at her coldly, her eyes suddenly losing their warmth.

“Yes.”

“I’ll remember you as an old monster too,” Li Yingxue replied coldly.

“Li Yingxue…” Fu Man was stunned and took a long time to find the right words, “…Your language seems a bit sharp?”

Li Yingxue continued to apply other skincare products to her, “You heard wrong.”

“…”

Finally, after finishing this routine, it was almost 1 a.m.

Fu Man was a little sleepy and held Li Yingxue’s wrist, asking, “Are you done?”

“Just finished, you can go to sleep.”

Fu Man turned off the light and lay down on the other side of the bed, keeping a polite distance from Li Yingxue.

However, she couldn’t fall asleep.

Listening to the steady breathing beside her, Li Yingxue turned sideways and looked at Fu Man, “What’s your relationship with that black snake? Why does she always pick on you?”

After a long time, not getting a response, Li Yingxue was about to turn around when Fu Man suddenly spoke up.

She said, “Because I once saved a snake from her, she thought I was provoking her by taking away the snake she was about to mate with, so the feud began.”

Li Yingxue was first surprised that she was still awake, hadn’t she said she was very tired? Then she was shocked by what she said, and asked with mixed feelings, “Why did you take away the snake she was about to mate with?”

Fu Man explained, “Of course it’s because that girl is a lewd snake, and she forced herself on the snake against its will.”

“So she’s been retaliating against you ever since?”

Fu Man was very close to her now, their breaths almost mingling. In the darkness, she said, “Yes, she always takes advantage of my absence to kidnap my people and force them to mate with her, turning them into her snakes.”

Li Yingxue felt incredulous, her brows furrowed, “Why?”

Fu Man said, “That kind of python is very vengeful. Once you provoke it, it will keep an eye on you and will try to eat you whenever it gets a chance. Unfortunately, even after so many years, she has always been defeated by me, but she has become more and more skilled at escaping.”

Fu Man sighed, “The reason she kidnapped you this time and targeted you is most likely because you’re close to me and you’re my fiancee, so she took you as one of mine.”

Li Yingxue was silent for a moment, her eyes slightly narrowed, “So you came to save me this time because you considered me one of your people?”
