A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 69

Li Yingxue didn’t even bother to hide her displeasure and left on the spot.

Min Zhi was taken aback for a moment and quickly spoke up, “What are you doing?”

“Forgive me, but I find it difficult to accompany you.”

Min Zhi only then realized the deal had fallen through. Once he reacted, he understood that his earlier derogatory remark about Fu Man had hit her sore spot.

With a darkened face, he simply threatened, “If you don’t want anything to happen to Fu Man, to end up like a stray dog with nothing left, Li Yingxue, you can just leave.”

Li Yingxue paused her steps, glanced sideways, and said, “Mr. Min, are you threatening me?”

Min Zhi smiled at her and shrugged.

It goes without saying.

Li Yingxue stepped out without hesitation, leaving behind a sarcastic remark: “Go ahead and threaten me.”

Being able to threaten that woman counts as his losing.

Min Zhi was caught off guard by her actions, feeling astonished and confused, with a barely noticeable hint of anger.

Not knowing how to appreciate a favor!

Li Yingxue came out of the coffee shop and directly got into the Bentley to leave.

Little did she know, in a corner of the street, Xu Anji and Min Tian were watching her leave.

“Does your Heavenly Sea Hatred Technique really work?” Min Tian asked expressionlessly from the side.

They just completely took in the scene in the coffee shop, including what they said.

Min Zhi didn’t know that Xu Anji was a monster; he only knew that Li Yingxue was an SSS-level Omega.

To some extent, the powerful are more instinctively inclined to plunder more resources for their descendants, to strengthen their family and ensure it never declines.

So, Min Tian was not at all surprised that her dad would personally approach Li Yingxue, trying to win her over. After all, if their Min family could produce an SSS-level Alpha, they would be at the top of the food chain for the next few hundred years.

“Of course,” Xu Anji said confidently, “this forbidden technique will make a person suspicious, paranoid, selfish, and heartless.”

Li Yingxue, being a reborn person, originally returned with a sense of unwillingness, extremely wary of people and things. I don’t know what kind of trick Fu Man used, but it actually made Li Yingxue let down her guard against her.

But Xu Anji can also help her rebuild her defenses.

“Your dad is really looking out for you, already moving to win people over so quickly.”

Min Tian explained insincerely, mixing in a bit of emotionless flattery: “Don’t blame him, in his perception, the top-tier Alpha is the pinnacle of what he’s seen.”

She didn’t know which words pleased Xu Anji, but she said, “Once I become Empress, your Min family will definitely benefit.”

Min Tian: “Thank you, Master.”

“Tell your dad not to take action against the Fu family yet.”

Min Tian nodded slightly and said, “I know, we have to wait until the ceremony is over.”

Although Mr. Fu is a royal jeweler, the things he designs are indeed elegant and luxurious to the extreme.

The empress still has to wear his things to attend the ceremony.

Li Yingxue suddenly slammed on the brakes at a traffic light.

Here we go again, her head is starting to throb again.

Worried that something might be wrong, as soon as the green light turned on, Li Yingxue headed straight to the hospital and underwent a full set of tests.

After confirming that there were no issues, Li Yingxue finally felt relieved.

It must just be the aftereffects of a mortal’s cultivation.

Li Yingxue returned home and saw Fu Man chatting with her grandma.

Clearly, their worldviews and age differences are vast, but they can still have a great conversation.

“I’m back, Grandma.” Li Yingxue handed her bag to the maid, took off her shoes at the entrance, changed into comfortable, soft slippers, and seeing Fu Man on the sofa, she inexplicably thought of last night’s dream.

So real, so real that she almost thought the person who abused her in her past life was this woman.

Li Yingxue withdrew her gaze and headed straight to the second floor, “I’m a bit tired, I’m going back to my room first.”

Fu Man didn’t say anything, just glanced at her tired face, and then continued chatting with grandma.

Bedroom.

As soon as Li Yingxue lay down on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep and had the same nightmare again.

After waking up with a start, she rubbed her forehead. Why does she always have dreams like this?

Is it just because Fu Man and that scumbag look exactly alike?

As soon as this guess was made, some outrageous similar elements uncontrollably floated into my mind.

The two have the same face and the same name; one is a snake, and the other uses the snake to humiliate her.

Fu Man inexplicably came here; did she really just happen to arrive here by chance?

Do they have a relationship?

Li Yingxue slightly curled her fingers but accidentally touched the snake ring on her index finger, staring blankly at it.

If she remembers correctly, Fu Man once said that the snake ring was her true form.

What is the true form? Is it another version of her?

Li Yingxue suddenly realized that she didn’t know anything about this woman.

She only know that she comes from the Holy Spirit Continent, wants to cultivate to become an immortal, has a nemesis named Xu Anji, and beyond that, she doesn’t seem to know anything at all.

At that moment, the door suddenly swung open, and Li Yingxue, with heightened sensitivity, turned her head.

Fu Man entered with a bowl of soup in one hand, not noticing her expression. Coming to her side, she looked down at her from above: “Li Yingxue, Grandma said she made this soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Li Yingxue pressed her red lips together, looked at her, then at the soup in her hand, “Put it aside, I’m not hungry.”

Fu Man set her aside and prepared to go out.

“Fu Man, you once said that the snake ring is your true form. What does that mean?”

“Why ask about this?” Fu Man glanced at the snake ring on her slender finger.

Li Yingxue: “Besides storing spiritual energy and suppressing the heat, what else does it do?”

Fu Man’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing Li Yingxue looking at her with such intense eyes, she actually felt a bit guilty.

“No other purpose.”

If she finds out that I’ve been copying her memories into it and secretly checking, Li Yingxue will definitely go ballistic.

After all, those memories are a disgrace to Li Yingxue, and she will probably never speak them aloud to herself for the rest of her life.

And yet she secretly spied, which is the act of a petty person.

Since she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, the fragments of memories about Li Yingxue have never appeared in her mind again. After the dual cultivation, she stopped this behavior of peeping. At first, it was curiosity and heartache, but later it was a choice to respect her.

“I’ll go out first, you get some good rest.” Fu Man made an excuse to leave.

Little did she know, Li Yingxue took note of her reaction, and her heart sank.

A week passed like this, and Fu Man noticed that the time spent dual cultivating with Li Yingxue was getting shorter and shorter.

To be precise, it’s the time Li Yingxue is willing to spend on dual cultivation that is getting shorter.

In the past, it used to start at seven or eight hours, but now it’s been reduced to five or six hours, or even three or four hours.

Still often need to take a day or two off.

She didn’t practice for long today before Li Yingxue forcibly brought her back to her senses, coldly throwing out, “Let’s call it a day, I’m a bit tired.”

After finishing speaking, Li Yingxue left the underground palace without looking back.

Fu Man glanced at the time; it had only been two hours today.

She will need half a year to break through the God Transformation Stage.

Fu Man called for the strategist A Ci to ask for her opinion.

A Ci pondered deeply and thought, “Could it be that Miss Li is unwell?”

Fu Man: “What’s wrong? She has already passed the Foundation Establishment stage.”

A Ci is a snake, with no reservations, and bluntly said, “Humans might not be very compatible with us snakes.”

Fu Man seemed lost in thought.

Makes some sense.

That night, when Li Yingxue came back from outside, Fu Man brought up the matter with her.

“Li Yingxue, if you’re uncomfortable with the dual cultivation, you can voice your opinion.”

“What?” Li Yingxue’s gaze returned to its initial coldness, staring at her coldly, with a hint of hidden disgust in her eyes.

“I mean, if you feel that I’m not doing something well or if I’m making you uncomfortable, you can tell me, and I can adjust. Also, you can choose any color you want—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple—any color is fine.”

Fu Man, with a serious expression, thought for a moment and added, “Except for black.”

“Lewd.” Li Yingxue frowned at her for a moment, her gaze momentarily clouded. She closed her eyes, took a moment to compose herself, and then went to the bathroom.

“……”

Fu Man touched her nose; they had been cultivating together for so long, how could she still call herself lewd?

When the time for the dual cultivation arrived the next day, Fu Man waited for her in the hot spring pool for an hour before Li Yingxue finally came down.

“Do you have anything else to do today?” Fu Man considered her work; perhaps the reason she had finished early in the past few days was because she was too busy with her job.

Li Yingxue: “No.”

Fu Man approached while asking her, “Li Yingxue, can we extend the time a bit today? I only practice for two hours a day, and my progress is a bit slow.”

She used to work overtime to practice, but now she can’t even if she wants to.

When Fu Man made contact, she didn’t notice Li Yingxue frowning amidst the swirling mist, forcing herself to endure the discomfort and nausea.

Fu Man began to enter a meditative state for cultivation, while Li Yingxue closed her eyes and absorbed spiritual energy from the water.

Her spiritual energy has absorbed quite a bit over the past week, so she is not very eager to absorb more spiritual energy.

The black mist slowly emanated from above her collarbone, burning her eyes, memories flashing like strobe lights of that scumbag and the woman before her…

Snake ring… humiliation… insults… whipping—

As time goes by, everything gradually points to the same person.

Resentment surged from the depths of her eyes, and Li Yingxue slowly clenched her hand. The sound of water she accidentally made brought her rationality back a little.

Not her, not Fu Man…

But her name is Fu Man, how could there be so many coincidences?

Her arrival in this world was no coincidence at all.

Rationality and madness were constantly at odds, and suddenly, Li Yingxue felt a splitting headache. The dark energy behind her gradually coalesced into a black mist, resembling a terrifying and grotesque dark creature.

She suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze burning as she fixed it on Fu Man’s lips. The next moment, she wrapped her arms around her neck, pressed close, greedily and endlessly drawing on her spiritual energy.

For a full two hours, Li Yingxue had almost filled her spiritual abode, but she still greedily swallowed.

She wants more, she wants all of her spiritual energy.

Just as she continued to indulge, someone suddenly gripped her shoulder tightly and pushed her away.

“What are you doing?” Fu Man’s face was pale as she looked at Li Yingxue, whose face was becoming increasingly flushed. Clinging to her like a mermaid, Fu Man couldn’t help but cough.

Li Yingxue also came to her senses with this question, but it was only a slight return of reason. Hatred swept through her chest as she looked at Fu Man without any guilt.

“Absorb your spiritual energy,” she said coldly.

Fu Man frowned tightly: “Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Saying this, she reached out to touch her forehead, intending to use her spiritual power to test it, but was unexpectedly brushed away by Li Yingxue.

“I’m not feeling unwell anywhere.” She lifted her eyelids and said coldly, “I just want your spiritual energy.”

Fu Man used her spiritual sense to probe her spiritual abode, the abundant spiritual energy almost overflowing, “If you want spiritual energy, you can absorb it yourself. My spiritual energy needs to be used for cultivation.”

She didn’t blame her too much for absorbing her own spiritual energy without permission: “Just this once, don’t let it happen again.”

Regarding her inexplicable kindness, even when her spiritual energy was being drained, she didn’t get angry. Li Yingxue looked at her, and as she watched, an inexplicable anger suddenly arose, her gaze turning icy as she stared at her.

“Get out.”

Fu Man didn’t know why she was angry, but still complied with her wishes and took it back.

Cough——

Suddenly having too much spiritual energy drained, Fu Man’s complexion looked terrible.

“Li Yingxue…”

She wants to ask why it has come to this, whether she has become obsessed or is simply in a bad mood, or if there is some other reason.

Did she miss any details?

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Man saw Li Yingxue swim to the shore without looking back, completely leaving the underground palace.
