A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 68

By some strange twist of fate, an impulse drove Li Yingxue to slowly lean in, desperately wanting to absorb the spiritual energy in her mouth.

However, as soon as she leaned in, perhaps because she made the first move, a different kind of friction spread from point to surface, instantly reaching her limbs and bones, and finally densely spreading pleasure near her brain.

Li Yingxue slightly parted her lips and took a deep breath, lowering her gaze to quietly observe the gently rippling water surface. Her attention was momentarily distracted, but she quickly regained her composure and glanced at Fu Man with a hint of lingering fear in her heart.

This woman still looks lost in thought.

But she didn’t know that on the very first day of her successful foundation establishment, someone actually wanted to absorb her vast spiritual energy as deep as the abyss.

Li Yingxue quietly withdrew, pondering the situation. She thought about Alpha’s mental power; could it be related to this?

Thinking this, Li Yingxue looked up and scanned her surroundings, trying to find something to practice on.

Seeing the enormous stone sculpture of the spirit snake behind the throne, I was about to use telekinesis to destroy that massive object, but then I remembered that this was the underground palace that Fu Man had painstakingly built, so I gave up.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the surrounding water; the hot spring water was emitting a faint mist and humidity.

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, seven or eight water columns suddenly gathered on the surface of the water, hovering above it. In an instant, they all transformed into ice blades and shot towards the stone wall at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

With a dull thud, a few seconds later, the ice blades left seven or eight holes in the wall before melting into a puddle of water.

Li Yingxue’s gaze was heavy as she took everything in, her heart shaken beyond measure. She knew very well that this was a high-level realm of mental power, a manifestation-type mental power. “I think, therefore I am,” turning thoughts into concrete, objective, and powerful reality with aggressive capabilities.

Even a gust of wind can turn into a blade…

Li Yingxue raised her hand, warm water spilled from her palm in all directions, a thought settled, and a gust of wind blew by.

A thin line of blood appeared at the tip of her index finger.

Li Yingxue finally believed that the foundation establishment had truly succeeded.

She put her bleeding finger in her mouth and calmly sucked the blood off. She knew that this powerful mental power required a lot of spiritual energy to sustain.

No wonder she has the impulse to absorb the spiritual energy from the solar-powered beauty.

When Fu Man heard the noise, she opened her eyes and saw that Li Yingxue had injured her finger. She grabbed her hand and asked, “What happened?”

She didn’t sense anyone else in the underground palace; how was this injury caused?

Fu Man recalled the noise she had just heard, frowned slightly, turned her head to look, and said, “When did the wall have so many holes?”

“It was me.” Li Yingxue explained the ins and outs of the mental power to her.

Fu Man raised an eyebrow after listening: “Is this the reason you want to establish a foundation? I thought you just wanted to learn spells and practice.”

Li Yingxue raised her gaze and met her eyes with a finally equally powerful stance, “Yes.”

Fu Man took her finger and healed her wound, “From what you said, mental power is a very strong energy, giving you more choices.”

Li Yingxue remained silent, just staring at her intently. Yes, she had more choices now; she could learn spells and cultivation from her, or she could continue to train her mental power.

“Just…”

“Just what?”

Li Yingxue hesitated a bit but still said, “I need a lot of spiritual energy to support the use of mental power.”

After saying that, Li Yingxue recalled how she had just wanted to absorb her spiritual energy. She wants to speak but hesitating, ultimately didn’t convey this impulse to her.

No master would remain indifferent upon hearing that their disciple wants to drain all their spiritual energy.

Fu Man chuckled lightly, “It’s quite normal. I need spiritual energy for my cultivation too. Since you want more spiritual energy, let’s extend the time for our dual cultivation.”

Li Yingxue’s gaze swept across the water’s surface, glanced at her healed fingertips, and at that moment, avoided her gaze, simply saying softly, “Okay.”

“Then let’s wrap it up for today and head back to rest.” Fu Man released her.

Li Yingxue sensed her withdrawal and the looseness around her waist, and asked her, “How’s your training going?”

Fu Man pondered seriously, “The speed is a bit faster than before, probably because of your transformation.”

She no longer has to compromise for her; instead, they complement each other.

Li Yingxue: “So, does that mean the time you need to break through to the God Transformation stage has also been shortened?”

Fu Man smiled and swam towards the shore first, saying, “That’s right.”

Li Yingxue was still floating in the water, and after hearing her words, she followed her figure with a complex gaze.

Is this woman really that happy?

She raised her hand and drew a talisman towards Fu Man. She still had spiritual energy, and her mental power was even greater.

I should be able to read something.

However, it is still a blank slate.

Li Yingxue’s expression grew increasingly indifferent as she clenched her fist.

Fu Man seemed to sense something and turned back: “Did you just use spiritual power? I felt a fluctuation.”

Li Yingxue swam over, walked up to the shore, and coldly replied, “No.”

Fu Man crossed her arms and watched her get dressed: “Li Yingxue, I’ve noticed you’re getting better at lying. Just now, you clearly used spiritual power. What were you trying to do to me?”

“Murder the master?”

Li Yingxue paused in putting on her shoes. Usually, she might just take it as a joke and give Fu Man a look, but this time she unusually explained, “I don’t have that intention.”

Fu Man didn’t take it to heart, smiled, and walked side by side with her, leaving the underground palace.

At night, Li Yingxue fell into a deep sleep.

The dream quietly descends.

The pitch-black basement, filled with the sound of hissing tongues and writhing bodies, is so disgusting and terrifying.

And that scumbag’s whip, that searing pain…

Li Yingxue hypnotized herself in her dreams, telling herself that it was all in the past, and no one could ever come to harm her again.

However, when she “saw” the familiar snake tail under the scumbag in her dream, her nose suddenly felt a sore.

In the dark night, a drop of crystal-clear tear fell from the corner of the eye without warning.

At midnight, Li Yingxue opened her eyes and hazily stared at the ceiling.

It seems like she had a nightmare.

A very terrifying nightmare.

The next day, Fu Man woke up to find that Li Yingxue had already gotten up early in the morning; she couldn’t see Li Yingxue’s figure when she woke up.

When she went downstairs, she found her sitting again at the garden’s leisure table, wearing sunglasses, basking in the early morning sun.

The warm morning sunlight shone on her, adding a touch of warmth.

Fu Man sat on the other side of the coffee table, poured herself a cup of rose tea, and casually asked, “Did you change your lipstick?”

Li Yingxue stiffened; she had noticed it in the morning. Her lip color had darkened a bit. If she didn’t apply lipstick, her natural lip color looked somewhat darker compared to its original nude shade.

So she covered it up with a darker lipstick.

“Yeah, I changed it.”

Fu Man drank tea: “It’s quite nice to look at.”

“Are you resting today?” Fu Man watched her basking in the sun, setting down her teacup and stretching her body to soak up the sunlight.

Li Yingxue found that she could always sense some of her own thoughts, such as now, she didn’t want to engage in dual cultivation.

“Today I want to rest.”

Fu Man: “Is it because of work?”

“That’s one reason,” Li Yingxue said, rubbing her snake ring with her thumb. “It’s been three months, and my agent has been canceling my appointments.”

“I have to go out and shoot for the magazine later.”

“Do you want me to keep you company?”

“No need.”

After Fu Man learned that she had mental powers, she no longer worried about her safety. “Alright, just be careful on the way.”

Li Yingxue sunbathed for a while and then left alone by car around 9 o’clock.

After finishing the magazine shoot, in the afternoon, she received a phone call.

An unexpected phone call came in, and the caller was Min Tian’s father.

Ask her out to meet.

Li Yingxue thought about Min Tian kidnapping her back then and colluding with that black snake; this matter wouldn’t just end so simply.

So she went as agreed.

In a coffee shop, she met Min Tian’s father, Min Zhi.

This man, she had only seen on television, attending various meetings or banquets as one of the members of parliament.

“Mr. Min, what do you need me for?” Li Yingxue asked straightforwardly as soon as she sat down.

Min Zhi had been a member of parliament for over ten years, having seen all kinds of storms and tempests. In front of the younger generation, he was calm and composed, exuding an aura of authority without needing to raise his voice.

“Yingxue, it’s like this, I heard that you dated Min Tian in high school?”

Li Yingxue: “Min Tian told you?”

Min Zhi smiled and said, “Parents will always know a bit about what their children are up to.”

Li Yingxue wasn’t buying his act and stared at him without blinking.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and Min Zhi realized that the other party wasn’t responding to his words at all. He had to speak up again: “Yingxue, have you considered getting back together with Min Tian?”

“Mr. Min is joking, isn’t he?” Li Yingxue sneered, “Putting aside our past schoolmate bond, just recently, Min Tian kidnapped me. Do you think there’s any possibility for us?”

“This is her fault, and I’ve already taught her a lesson for you.” Min Zhi knew that Min Tian had kidnapped Li Yingxue, which was why he was so annoyed to personally meet this girl.

Li Yingxue: “Mr. Min, if you just want to apologize on behalf of your daughter, there’s really no need. Since the person involved isn’t here, I don’t think this sincerity means much.”

Min Zhi opened his mouth, coughed once, and said, “If you are willing to get back together with Min Tian, or even marry her, I, Min Zhi, can promise you anything.”

Li Yingxue’s eyes suddenly deepened, and she retorted, “Marriage?”

Min Zhi nodded, “That’s right, marriage.”

Li Yingxue instantly thought of the cause and effect, and with a tone that was both certain and self-mocking, said, “My parents must have turned to you for support, right?”

For the past three months, her parents hadn’t asked her for money again, and without her grandma as a hostage, she found it strange at the time. Now, it seems her parents had actually gone to the Min family for support.

Even going so far as to reveal her identity as an SSS-level Omega to the Min family.

That’s how they ended up in this situation.

“Since you already guessed it, Yingxue, I won’t hide it from you anymore.”

Min Zhi said openly, “As long as you marry Min Tian and have a few children, I will ensure you live a life of wealth and prosperity. No matter what you do in the future, our Min family will be your backing. No one will dare to bully you, not even the Empress can say a harsh word to you. Your Li family will also be revitalized and re-enter upper class of society. How about that?”

Li Yingxue suddenly found it amusing that everyone valued her uterus, which had a higher probability of giving birth to SSS-level Alphas than an ordinary Omega’s.

“Mr. Min, don’t you know that I am already a member of the Fu family? I am Fu Man’s fiancee. Isn’t it a bit unethical of you to tempt me like this?”

Min Zhi didn’t care much: “So what if the Fu family? At most, they’re just a royal jeweler. Compared to my Min family, they’re nothing.”

In business and politics, it is clear who is superior and who is inferior to anyone with eyes.

“Besides, that Fu Man is just a spoiled girl, while I, Min Tian, am already the captain of the Empress’s trusted team. Who has the brighter future? Yingxue, you’re a smart person.”

Originally, when she heard the earlier derogatory remarks about the Fu family, Li Yingxue found it amusing. However, when she heard that Fu Man had also become the target of his scorn, being called an ant and a useless person, her expression immediately turned cold.
