A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 62

Relying on Fu Man’s inner core, Li Yingxue has been doing much better and has made it through the first month.

On the 35th day, Lord Fu came to visit. At that time, Fu Man was in the study writing spells for Li Yingxue, who was establishing her foundation in the underground palace.

She had just written a few outlines for offensive spells when Lord Fu came in and asked straightforwardly, “Daughter, when are you and Li Yingxue going to have baby? Why haven’t you had any news yet? Is there a problem somewhere? Tell Dad, and Dad will solve it for you.”

Lord Fu, leaning on a beautiful rosewood cane and holding a pipe in one hand, saw Fu Man writing something at the desk. His eyes lit up; his daughter actually had such a diligent and studious day.

Just as he was about to step forward to see what was written, Fu Man calmly closed the notebook and said, “Lord Fu, I have no issues.”

Lord Fu was no longer surprised by her way of addressing him. In the past, when he interfered with her friendships, this rebellious daughter, “Fu Man,” would directly call him by his full name, almost driving him to his grave.

“Is the problem with Li Yingxue?” Lord Fu sat in the armchair, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, “She doesn’t want to? Or is it that she can’t have baby?”

Fu Man suppressed her discomfort, recalling the time she saw Li Yingxue drinking alone in the forest villa, looking both unwilling and fragile. That day, her parents had bluntly revealed at the dinner table that they intended to make her a breeding machine.

“No, it’s not that. It’s that I don’t want to.”

Lord Fu was puzzled: “Why don’t you want to? She’s the most beautiful actress.”

Still an SSS-level Omega, both in appearance and reproductive ability, it’s exceptional, except for the family background not being quite impressive.

But it doesn’t matter, the fallen Li family is easy to handle.

Fu Man knew she couldn’t persuade Lord Fu, so she could only divert his attention from having children. “I just don’t want to do this, I just don’t want to. As long as you don’t make us have a baby, I’ll do anything else you ask.”

Lord Fu was taken aback, thinking that they had a disagreement. Upon hearing the last sentence, he immediately overlooked the disagreement and asked, “Anything is fine?”

Fu Man nodded.

Lord Fu: “Then go to the company and manage it for me.”

Fu Man: “……” I was careless.

Lord Fu stood up, glared at her, and said, “You said it yourself, come to work tomorrow.”

After Lord Fu left, Fu Man stood in the study, pacing back and forth. She had no work experience at all.

What is he thinking by sending a snake to work?

Seeing this, A Ci comforted her warmly, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. The original owner, if nothing unexpected happens, doesn’t seem to manage the company either. Don’t worry, she’s even more useless than you. Lord Fu will definitely find someone to take care of you.”

Fu Man stood still, suddenly enlightened, “A Ci, you’re right. This time I’ll just experience the working life here. After I go back, I can share my insights with my people.”

A Ci: “That’s exactly right.”

Due to her concern for Li Yingxue’s foundation establishment, on the day before work, Fu Man came to the underground palace to find Li Yingxue. Seeing her able to meditate and recuperate peacefully, she felt somewhat relieved.

“Li Yingxue, I’m planning to go to Lord Fu’s company to work tomorrow. You just stay at home and continue to establish your foundation.”

Li Yingxue opened her eyes: “Did Lord Fu just come by?”

Fu Man: “Yes.”

Li Yingxue: “Does he want us to have a baby?”

Li Yingxue was always quick-witted and soon figured out the reason behind it. Fu Man didn’t hide anything from her and simply admitted, “But I didn’t agree, so he made me go to work.”

Fu Man walked up to her and said, “Think about it, my time here is limited anyway. Why not make the most of it and experience more scenery, and try the life you mentioned?”

“Also, I have already taken on the identity of Lord Fu’s daughter. Although I don’t know where she went, since I have taken on her identity and received the conveniences and benefits, then… shouldn’t I share some of the burden for Lord Fu? Li Yingxue, don’t you think so?”

After hearing all this, Li Yingxue stared at her for a long time, seeing her face so similar to that scumbag from before. But because she took advantage of her identity and benefits, she went to help her dad manage the company. Deep down, she felt somewhat resistant.

“Since you’ve already made your decision, why bother asking me?”

She doesn’t think that the scumbag’s debt needs to be repaid by this snake, even if it benefits from the identity and advantages.

Fu Man vaguely sensed a slight change in her mood and asked, “Are you unhappy that I’m going to work?”

“No.” Li Yingxue insincerely denied.

Fu Man didn’t hear it. With a flick of its snake tail, it changed direction and landed in front of Li Yingxue, slowly saying, “Then I’ll go to work tomorrow. Take your time establishing your foundation.

Li Yingxue watched her snake tail swaying back and forth, closed her eyes in annoyance.

The ancestors of the Fu family were once obscure small merchants. By a stroke of luck, the Fu family’s ancestors quickly gained the favor of the royal nobility with their finely crafted and delicately designed accessories. Later, through a fortunate turn of events, they received the royal favor and became the royal jeweler.

Passed down to the current generation of the Fu family, they have accumulated quite a few assets, and even the jewelry worn by the Empress during several major national assemblies and ceremonies was designed by the Fu family.

But this time, Lord Fu did not intend to let her get involved with the company; instead, he took her to the royal court.

“You must have heard about the recent events, right?” Lord Fu said, “A few level 1, 2 and 3 criminals escaped, causing quite an impact on our M City. They only recently managed to capture one of them.”

“However, this incident caused some discontent among the people, so those parliament proposed to hold a grand ceremony to showcase her dignified and composed demeanor, thereby stabilizing public sentiment.”

So this time they went there to design a complete set of jewelry for the empress.

By the way, take my daughter Fu Man to see the world.

They arrived at the royal court.

Lord Fu brought Fu Man to meet the Empress. The Empress Angelina didn’t look well; in fact, she seemed somewhat exhausted.

She saw Lord Fu and also looked disinterested, whereas in the past, she had some interest in custom jewelry.

“Jones, you’re here.” The Empress rubbed her forehead and called out the English name of Lord Fu, then turned her gaze to Fu Man, “Who is this?”

Lord Fu introduced, “This is my daughter, Fu Man.” Then he explained to Fu Man, “Fu Man, this is our Empress Angelina.”

Fu Man looked at the elegant and luxurious noblewoman before her and nodded, “Hello.”

Lord Fu continued, “She came to lend me a hand, dear Empress Angelina.”

The so-called “lend a hand” means standing by and watching Lord Fu and Empress Angelina discuss the themes, elements, and main accessories of the jewelry. Then, when Lord Fu is struck by inspiration, he sketches a draft on the spot, and the two continue their discussion.

After it was over, Lord Fu took Fu Man and prepared to leave the royal court.

As she turned around, she brushed past Min Tian, who was wearing the trusted team’s uniform. Fu Man frowned tightly, stopped, and turned back to stare intently at Min Tian’s back.

Isn’t this person one of Xu Anji’s subordinates?

Fu Man had a vague impression, but what astonished her even more at this moment was how this woman could possess spiritual energy.

Just like Li Yingxue before forming her foundation, she could autonomously absorb spiritual energy and become a vessel for it.

Could it be that she has also started absorbing spiritual energy?

Fu Man kept a watchful eye and turned to follow Lord Fu.

At this moment, Min Tian, standing before Empress Angelina, placed her left hand on her right shoulder and bowed in greeting.

“Your Majesty, the preparations for the ceremony have already begun and will be held in two months.”

Empress Angelina waved her hand and said, “I understand, you may leave.”

Min Tian bowed and withdrew, then drove straight to the villa in the Taixi Golden Bay affluent area after leaving the royal court.

Who knew she would run into her father at the door?

“Father.”

Mr. Min sat in the car, looking her up and down: “Everything okay lately?”

Min Tian shook her head, “Yes, Father, please don’t worry.”

Mr. Min didn’t waste any words, signaling the driver with his eyes to start the car.

Min Tian watched the car drive away, composed herself, and walked towards the villa in her high heels.

Although the members of parliament are divided into several factions, each with different opinions and arguing every day, her father only needs to say a few words to help her carry out the coronation ceremony.

Min Tian entered a dimly lit room, where Xu Anji’s black python was coiling around.

When she saw Min Tian coming, her snake tail instantly wrapped around her and began to absorb the spiritual energy from her body.

Min Tian’s hand, resting by her side, clenched slightly as she let her suck.

After an unknown amount of time, she had barely absorbed any spiritual energy, and now it was almost depleted, not a drop left.

All of it has been used to feed this snake.

Min Tian was roughly released by her, stumbling back a step, but still reported the information to her: “The Empress’s ceremony will be held as scheduled in two months.”

At that time, they will release more criminals at the banquet, leaving the people’s property and personal safety unprotected, while the empress will be at an extremely extravagant ceremony, laughing and chatting with others. The public will only be provoked, increasing their disappointment with the empress.

“Just leave these matters to you and your father,” Xu Anji said nonchalantly. “You should focus on absorbing more spiritual energy these days.”

“Yes.” Min Tian turned around and walked out.

Since the last time she discovered Xu Anji’s whereabouts, Xu Anji had uncovered the changes in her body… and in the end, she was treated as a vessel for spiritual energy.

After Fu Man returned, Lord Fu no longer assigned her any tasks, just telling her to continue working tomorrow.

In the evening, Li Yingxue came out of the hot spring underground palace. At this stage, she didn’t need to stay in the underground palace to cultivate. Just after finishing her bath, she saw Fu Man coming back from work.

Fu Man saw her sitting on the edge of the bed drying her hair and couldn’t help but walk over. She was just about to use her spiritual energy to dry her hair, but then she remembered that Li Yingxue had once said she didn’t want her to waste spiritual energy like that. So she simply took the hairdryer from her hand and started drying her hair.

While blowing, she asked in a rather cheerful mood, “Li Yingxue, aren’t you curious about what I did at work today?”

Li Yingxue was still somewhat unaccustomed to her instinctive intimate behavior, but she didn’t resist it either.

“Why should I be curious about what a snake does at work?”

Fu Man quietly looked at her for a while, gently blowing her hair: “Li Yingxue, I think you might be discriminating against me.”

What’s wrong with a snake? Can’t snake go to work?

“I didn’t.” Li Yingxue denied it. After two seconds, she probably felt that her previous words were a bit harsh, so she changed her tone: “What do you do at work?”

Seeing Fu Man still staring at her, Li Yingxue remained silent for a moment, then, without changing her expression, added, “I’m a bit curious.”

Her mouth saying curiosity, but that face was completely calm, showing no trace of curiosity at all.

Actions speak louder than words.

Fu Man felt deeply humiliated, let out a cold snort, glared at her, and replied with one word: hypocrisy.

She pulled Li Yingxue’s hand, placed the hairdryer in her hand, turned around, and went to wash up.

“……”

The hypocritical woman’s gaze froze for a moment, following the tall figure until it disappeared at the bathroom door, then she snapped back, vaguely feeling that these one word sounded somewhat familiar.
