A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 65

In the mountain villa.

Lord Fu didn’t believe Fu Man’s words at all, snorting coldly, “If you had any mental power, how could I not know?”

He knows exactly what she’s capable of. Letting her manage the company is just a way to make her start from scratch. As long as she’s willing to learn, anything is possible.

Fu Man glanced at Li Yingxue beside her and said to Lord Fu, “You can test me.”

Lord Fu shot her a glance. He didn’t want to play these little tricks with her, but after all, she was his daughter, and their relationship had improved quite a bit compared to before.

Sighing internally, he decided to give her a little face and casually said, “So, what do you think I’m thinking about right now?”

“You are wondering whether the crown jewels of the empress should be cut in the Asscher cut or the cushion cut.”

Lord Fu’s expression changed several times in an instant. He then looked at Fu Man, half-believing, and asked, “Then tell me, which one do you think I plan to choose?”

“Asscher cut.”

Lord Fu widened his eyes. He had never mentioned to anyone the cut he chose for the crown jewel, yet his daughter had figured it out. Could it be…

No, it might be luck.

Lord Fu stared intently at Fu Man, asking several questions in quick succession. Only after Fu Man answered them all accurately did Lord Fu finally lose his composure. He walked up to Fu Man and, with a shocked tone, asked her, “Do you really have the power of foresight?”

Hundreds of years have passed, and not a single Alpha has possessed mental power; they have all been mediocre individuals. Yet today, his daughter told him that she has mental power and even accurately articulated what he was thinking.

Could it be that the ancestors of the old Fu family are rising in smoke?!

Seeing his expression, Fu Man knew that Lord Fu had completely believed her.

“Now you should believe me, right?”

Lord Fu’s hands trembled with excitement, “Of course, Fu Man, you can’t be an SSS-level Alpha, can you?”

Fu Man knew he was eager to revitalize the family, but to avoid Lord Fu placing too much hope on her, she could only say, “Lord Fu, don’t be too happy too soon. I just have the ability to foresight, and it consumes a lot.”

After saying that, Fu Man rubbed her temples, pretending to be a bit weak, and leaned against Li Yingxue.

Li Yingxue was caught off guard when she leaned over, almost stumbling. Fortunately, she managed to steady the woman in time, and while doing so, she also heard the whispered words in her ear.

She said, “…… Acting is really not easy.”

Li Yingxue let out a cold snort, audible only to them, as a response.

Seeing this, Lord Fu hurriedly asked Li Yingxue to help her to the sofa: “Quick, Yingxue, help her over to rest, don’t let her get too tired.”

Li Yingxue coldly hummed in response, then wrapped her arm around Fu Man’s shoulder and sat down on the sofa.

Lord Fu thought for a moment, looked at the two people, and decided to follow Fu Man’s suggestion: “Daughter, the suggestion you made before about finding an proxy president, I think it’s feasible. One day, you can choose a proxy president for your father. As for managing the company, just come over to check on it when you have time.”

Fu Man let out a sigh of relief, “Okay.”

Finally, I don’t have to go to this damn work anymore.

Lord Fu’s gaze lingered frequently on Li Yingxue, “Fu Man, Li Yingxue, you two should really think more about the major events in life and strive to get pregnant this year.”

Li Yingxue’s expression visibly darkened.

Lord Fu thought she was just shy: “Li Yingxue, our Fu family will naturally not treat you poorly.”

Fu Man noticed the subtle change in Li Yingxue’s emotions, wrapped her arms around her in return, and looked up at Lord Fu: “Didn’t I already say that I don’t have this idea at the moment?”

Lord Fu was at a loss for words. Seeing Fu Man’s pale face, he didn’t know what else to say. “Alright, you’re still young, so it’s fine to play a bit longer. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll head back first. Daughter, make sure to rest well.”

After Lord Fu left, Fu Man finally looked at Li Yingxue. Afraid she might overthink, she comforted her, saying, “Li Yingxue, don’t take Lord Fu’s words to heart. I will leave sooner or later, and it’s impossible for you to get pregnant. Besides, we are not of the same race, so it’s even more impossible.”

After finishing her words, Fu Man noticed Li Yingxue staring at her intently, with a complex expression. She felt a bit puzzled and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?”

Li Yingxue: “No, you’re absolutely right.”

Seeing that she didn’t take Lord Fu’s words to heart, Fu Man let out a sigh of relief and added, “We have reproductive isolation, so we can’t have children. Don’t worry.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yingxue stood up, looking down coldly at her, and threw out a sentence: “I’m going to the underground palace to establish my foundation.”

Fu Man looked at her back, stunned, “Li Yingxue…”

Is she unhappy?

Is it because of Lord Fu’s words?

The more Fu Man thought about it, the more likely it seemed. However, she was going to focus on her foundation establishment and didn’t want to disturb her. So, Fu Man could only wait until the evening to find a good time to coax her.

After all, she still bears the identity of “Lord Fu’s daughter,” and since she married Li Yingxue, she has some obligation to guide her fiancee.

Fu Man returned to the company again, and this time the secretary no longer doubted her. It was probably because he had received an order from Lord Fu, telling him to obey her.

At this moment, her desk is covered with many resumes. These are all outstanding managers, with extensive experience on their resumes, having led multiple projects and significantly boosted the revenue of their previous companies.

Fu Man picked one out from the group; this person had a good appearance, with a face that exuded integrity. Moreover, there was a tremendous energy hidden in their eyes, which would generally be reflected in their abilities.

“That’s her.”

Fu Man handed the resume to the secretary, instructing him to take it over. The rest was no longer her concern.

Fu Man tidied up and prepared to leave work. Passing by a flower shop, she initially walked straight past without changing her expression, but for some reason, she turned back.

Ten minutes later, a woman leisurely finished paying, holding a bouquet of roses as she left the flower shop.

You always have to bring something when you try to coax someone up, right?

After leaving the city, Fu Man planned to head straight to the mountain villa.

However, on the sparsely populated asphalt road, she unexpectedly ran into that girl, Xu Anji.

In front of Xu Anji stood Min Tian, and the two were discussing something. Nearby, a black Lincoln was parked.

“Are you sure he’s here?” Xu Anji glared at Min Tian, who had told her an hour ago that the incorrigible level 1 criminal was hiding here.

Originally, those level 1, 2 and 3 criminals released by them had an agreement with her. She would release them, and in return, they had to instigate various riots and explosions in M City. As long as they continued to cause destruction, they could gradually undermine the public’s trust in the Empress.

But just so happens, a level 1 criminal betrayed them. After escaping, he never contacted them, let alone cause any trouble. They didn’t even see a shadow of him.

She, Xu Anji, will never let this traitor go.

Min Tian was holding a radar device that displayed nothing, but she said, “The red dot disappeared here.”

Implied meaning: She tracked him here, the person disappeared, scientific methods could no longer trace him, and they could only rely on some non-scientific methods.

“You better not be lying to me.”

Xu Anji let out a cold snort, just as she was about to use a spell to drag that person out. Who would have thought that when she turned her head, she would see Fu Man standing in front of her? Her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly launched an attack, wanting to strike first to avoid being suppressed by the other party.

Fu Man’s eyes narrowed, she tossed the flower aside and swiftly responded.

Soon, the two transformed from casting spells at each other in human form to engaging in a fierce battle as full snakes.

Min Tian cautiously retreated to the back of the car, her expression cold as she watched the black and silver snakes entwine and bite each other.

Xu Anji’s injuries haven’t fully healed yet. As long as Fu Man performs normally…

The situation was gradually reaching a boiling point. However, when Xu Anji realized she couldn’t break free from the opponent’s freezing technique, she was startled and feared being caught. She bit through the freezing layer with all her might, then suddenly swept her snake tail in a feint. Taking advantage of Fu Man’s defense, she quickly left with Min Tian with a gloomy face.

Fu Man looked at the empty asphalt road, with tall trees lining both sides, the autumn wind blowing, but she did not chase after them.

Gathering her palms together, she steadied her mind and didn’t let any unusual expression show.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the roses on the ground. Fortunately, they were still intact. Fu Man stepped forward to pick them up and walked home.

In the underground palace, Li Yingxue suddenly felt a bit unsettled and could no longer return to her previous state.

Gently touching her abdomen, it seemed she could feel the warmth from the inner core, continuously nourishing her body and driving away all the pain.

She hasn’t felt the kind of pain that makes life feel worse than death since the early stages of her foundation establishment.

Thanks to this inner core, like a miraculous medicine, it has allowed her to build her foundation smoothly up to now.

Li Yingxue continued meditating, and now she could get back into the zone.

Until night fell, Li Yingxue finally opened her eyes. She didn’t know if it was just her illusion, but as her foundation establishment period extended, her appetite diminished more and more. Even if she ate very little, she wouldn’t feel hungry.

Is it because of the foundation?

Li Yingxue left the underground palace with this question, intending to ask Fu Man. When she pushed open the bedroom door, she rarely saw the snake lying on the bed with its tail hanging down, nor did she see her studying at the computer.

However, she saw a bouquet of flowers quietly lying on the table.

Li Yingxue opened the door handle, walked over, passed the table, glanced at the bathroom and other parts of the bedroom, but did not see the woman.

Turning around, her gaze fell once again on the roses on the table.

Li Yingxue walked over, her fingertips lightly resting on the table, gliding towards the rose like a dragonfly touching the water, pausing for two seconds when she reached the delicate wrapping paper.

Not knowing what she was thinking, she immediately withdrew without hesitation, while simultaneously stepping outside.

Walking through the corridor, Li Yingxue planned to go downstairs for a while, but when she caught a glimpse of the tightly closed study door out of the corner of her eye, she changed her mind and headed towards the study instead.

She raised her hand and knocked twice, but there was no response.

She’s not inside?

Li Yingxue was about to give up, but before she could turn around, she caught a faint whiff of blood from inside. Her body suddenly stiffened, and in the next moment, she opened the door without hesitation.

As soon as she opened it, the sight before her made her eyes widen in shock, and she gasped for breath.

On the high-backed chair, which was entirely black, a woman sat gracefully, leaning slightly forward due to exhaustion. Against her snow-white skin, the blood staining her chest was strikingly vivid, as if someone had poured a bucket of red paint over her.

Exuding a pungent smell of blood.

That woman had her eyes closed, as if she were asleep, devoid of any life.

Li Yingxue struggled to take a step, as if it took nearly a century for her to reach her side.

“You…” As soon as she spoke, it evoked intense, fluctuating emotions, starkly contrasting with her cold expression. It seemed that only her voice could reveal a hint of her inner turmoil.

“……Is she dead?”
