Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

“You little girl, the Palace Master kindly saved your life, and now you’re clinging to her side and won’t leave?”

Luyi was irritated to see Shen Wan shamelessly following them all the way to the inn. If she had known this little girl would be so shameless, she would have advised the Palace Master not to bother with her earlier.

Bai Weiwei remained silent, sitting at a table with Luyi and calmly eating her meal, clearly not wanting to deal with Shen Wan. She left such matters to Luyi; anyone with a slightly thinner skin would leave after being scolded by Luyi a few times.

Shen Wan sat at the neighboring table. Hearing Luyi’s words, she glanced at the sumptuous meal on their table, then looked at her own. On her table was a plate with three white steamed buns and a bowl of tea.

She pitifully took a steamed bun and nibbled on it, her cheeks puffing as she chewed, washing it down with tea. She looked both adorable and pitiful. As she ate, she secretly stole glances at Bai Weiwei.

Bai Weiwei had tried her best not to pay attention to this little girl, but somehow every movement of hers was particularly eye-catching. Even without looking directly, she couldn’t help but observe from the corner of her eye. Seeing Shen Wan earnestly munching on the bun with tea, looking so content, she lost her appetite for the delicious food before her.

Could a steamed bun taste better than meat?

“Miss Bai.” Seeing Bai Weiwei pause her eating and glance at her, Shen Wan seized the opportunity to speak. “You can pretend I don’t exist. Being saved by Miss Bai is already my good fortune. Shen Wan doesn’t dare ask for more, only hoping to follow Miss Bai, to perhaps find an opportunity to repay the kindness of saving my life.”

“Miss Bai can be just as before. I’ll follow you from afar. What can a small, weak girl like me do? Miss Bai could take my life with a wave of her hand.”

Bai Weiwei’s head ached a bit. Faced with Shen Wan’s round, earnest eyes, she twitched her lips. “I don’t need you to repay me. Go home quickly. Running around at such a young age, don’t you know how worried your family must be?”

“Thank you for your concern, Miss Bai,” Shen Wan paused, and Bai Weiwei really wanted to say she wasn’t concerned, she was just very annoyed. She had casually meddled in someone’s affairs and ended up being clung to. Shen Wan continued, “To be honest, I set out on this adventure to find my father. He’s gone mad, always raving about being a great hero and wanting to roam the jianghu. One day when I wasn’t paying attention, he ran out of the house. I’ve been chasing after him but can’t find any trace of him.”

“As you said, Miss Bai, the jianghu is treacherous. If you hadn’t kindly intervened earlier, I might already be a ghost under Yue Han’s sword. Now that I haven’t found my father and owe Miss Bai such a great debt, how could I possibly go back?”

Bai Weiwei’s expression remained blank. “Then you should go find your father. You don’t need to rush to repay my kindness.”

“But the jianghu is dangerous. It’s safer following Miss Bai,” Shen Wan said earnestly. “I’ve heard of Miss Bai’s reputation – the current Palace Master of Water Cloud Palace, beautiful and kind-hearted, with superb medical skills, who likes to watch the excitement. Wherever there’s a commotion, Miss Bai is sure to be there. So following Miss Bai, firstly, I can find opportunities to repay your life-saving kindness, and secondly, I can gradually search for news of my father.”

Luyi couldn’t hold back anymore. “Our Palace Master doesn’t need you to repay her kindness. Go find your father quickly.”

“But if I don’t repay this kindness, I’ll feel uneasy. Before my father fell ill, he often reminded me to always be grateful and repay kindness,” Shen Wan looked pitifully at Bai Weiwei. “Miss Bai, don’t be troubled. You don’t need to pay attention to me, just let me follow behind you. If someone asks who I am, you can tell them you don’t know me. I don’t mind.”

“Actually, you can think of it this way: on the road you’re walking, there just happens to be a me. Whichever road you take, there just happens to be a me on it too. You don’t have to think of me as a person, just as a round little pebble on the road that can roll along with you. Isn’t that easier for Miss Bai to accept when you think of it that way?”

“If you find the pebble annoying, you can treat me like air, a transparent person, the kind you can’t see. I promise I won’t bother Miss Bai with any troubles I encounter.”

Bai Weiwei was at a loss. This little girl had so many twisted arguments. If she really wanted to follow, Bai Weiwei couldn’t very well kick her away. She had already planned that tomorrow before dawn, she and Luyi would leave. She didn’t believe she couldn’t shake off this clingy little girl then.

“Follow if you want to follow.”

Bai Weiwei said indifferently. Luyi was reluctant at first, but then seemed to understand something and stopped arguing with Shen Wan.

Bai Weiwei wanted to continue eating, but she couldn’t ignore Shen Wan munching on her bun, which completely ruined her appetite. She gently raised her head and looked at Shen Wan, who seemed to be thoroughly enjoying her bun and tea. She really didn’t understand.

“I’m done eating.” Bai Weiwei put down her chopsticks and said to Luyi, “I’ll go back to my room first.”

Luyi naturally didn’t dare linger and quickly got up to follow Bai Weiwei upstairs.

188: In any case, he didn’t know what to say now. He still didn’t quite understand his host, this woman. He really didn’t know what kind of person Bai Weiwei originally was to be able to tolerate such a woman. A true hero!

The next day, before dawn, Bai Weiwei and Luyi quietly left the inn.

The two rode their horses at full speed, as if something was chasing them. Luyi felt that her Palace Master was acting somewhat strangely. If she really disliked that girl who pretended to be deaf and blind, she could have easily used some small trick to teach her a lesson, guaranteeing she wouldn’t dare follow anymore. Was it necessary to sneak away like this? Such behavior really went against their Water Cloud Palace’s style.

But she didn’t dare ask.

When the sun slowly rose, the two stopped at a roadside tea house. Bai Weiwei took a sip of tea before saying somewhat smugly, “We’ve been riding hard for two hours. That little girl surely won’t be able to find us now, right?”

“She definitely won’t find us. She didn’t see which way we went or in which direction.” Luyi nodded affirmatively, though she didn’t quite understand why the Palace Master seemed happy about this.

Bai Weiwei liked to wander the jianghu. As Shen Wan had said, wherever there was excitement, she would go. Because crowded places meant more people, and where there were more people, there were more conflicts. More conflicts meant more injured and sick people, and these people were usually not ordinary and quite generous. Everyone knew of her superb medical skills. If someone was poisoned and couldn’t find another doctor for treatment in time, or had no antidote, she could appear and raise her price on the spot, making a good profit.

Yesterday she had saved a Meng Xuan and obtained two Snow Spirit Grass plants. She had a premonition that after the Flying Crane Manor incident, many things would happen in the jianghu. Her time to make money had come. She needed countless medicinal ingredients to concoct various elixirs, and it was very difficult to find them all by herself. If the entire martial arts world helped her look, it would be much easier. Which of these martial arts experts didn’t have some good items? Even if they didn’t, they had strength and skills. For their own purposes, they would always be able to find what she wanted.

After resting for a while, the two continued on their journey.

Before long, they heard of a major incident. They changed direction and headed towards where it had occurred.

Shen Wan slept until the sun was high in the sky, practically shining on her bottom, before she woke up. As soon as she awoke, she heard 188 chattering about how Bai Weiwei had left with Luyi before dawn.

Shen Wan: “What’s the rush? If it’s meant to be mine, it won’t fly away even with wings. Even if it flies far, don’t I still have you, Brother 8? I don’t believe you haven’t helped me track Bai Weiwei’s whereabouts.”

[188 fidgeted a bit and said, “We’re teammates, partners. Of course I’ll help you track Bai Weiwei’s whereabouts.”]

Shen Wan recalled the plot. At this point, the incident of Meng Xuan’s Junior Sister, Meng Shan, being rescued by Yang Yanqing should have occurred. According to the novel, Yang Yanqing was even seriously injured while saving Meng Shan. Meng Xuan was Meng Wenshu’s senior disciple, and Meng Shan was Meng Wenshu’s only daughter.

It was because of this Meng Shan that the original host had suffered greatly. No matter what happened, no matter whose fault it was, Meng Xuan always chose to stand by Meng Shan’s side. Even when he later saw the original host injured and upset, he could only say sorry. He would say he owed his master and his Junior Sister, that he only saw Meng Shan as a Junior Sister, but to repay Meng Wenshu’s kindness in raising him, he had to take care of his Junior Sister for life.

Shen Wan found it somewhat ridiculous. Didn’t Meng Xuan owe the original host as well?

Because the original host had been kind-hearted and saved him back to the village, they were implicated, resulting in the entire village being massacred. Except for her and her father who survived by luck, truly not a single person was left. Over two hundred innocent lives died because of him. Didn’t he feel guilty?

No matter what Meng Shan did, he would unconditionally stand by her side, hurting the original host, a small village girl, all over.

To seek revenge, the original host infiltrated Wuji Palace. Unfortunately, she was eventually discovered by Fu Yunkui. Fu Yunkui didn’t do anything to her, just locked her up and occasionally came to talk to her.

Fu Yunkui knew she had come for revenge and straightforwardly stated that he hadn’t massacred the Crow Village villagers, nor had he wiped out Flying Crane Manor. Of the rumors outside, only one thing was true – he had indeed killed Meng Wenshu. And he hadn’t killed Meng Wenshu on a whim; it was simply personal revenge.

Moreover, he and Meng Wenshu had agreed to a secret duel to the death behind Flying Crane Manor. After killing Meng Wenshu, he had left Flying Crane Manor. In fact, he had also been injured in that battle with Meng Wenshu.

After recovering from his injuries, he came out to find that the martial arts world had changed. Flying Crane Manor had been wiped out, with only two people escaping – Meng Wenshu’s senior disciple Meng Xuan and his only daughter Meng Shan. The entire martial arts world was spreading rumors that Wuji Palace had annihilated Flying Crane Manor.

Fu Yunkui was puzzled. He had just taken some personal revenge, but someone behind the scenes must have hated them so much to massacre the entire manor, and now all sorts of accusations were being thrown at him.

He was very angry and didn’t like being blamed, which was why he had suddenly appeared at Yang Yanqing’s martial arts assembly that day, stepping hard on his head and slapping him a few times. If Yang Yanqing had been prepared, he wouldn’t have succeeded so easily. Appearing and disappearing so suddenly must have made Yang Yanqing furious and wanting to kill him.

At first, the original host didn’t believe Fu Yunkui’s words, but thinking carefully, why would Fu Yunkui need to deceive her? She was just a weak girl from a small village who had barely learned some martial arts and cautiously infiltrated Wuji Palace. If Fu Yunkui could really wipe out a village and a manor in the blink of an eye, when he discovered her, he could have just snapped her neck. Why bother locking her up, coming to see her every day, and trying to reason with her?

Eventually, she chose to believe Fu Yunkui. After staying at Wuji Palace for a while, Fu Yunkui developed some interest in this village girl. To be precise, he fell for her. In the end, he let her go. The original host returned to Meng Xuan’s side, continuing to endure situations where Meng Xuan protected Meng Shan and sometimes put her in danger.

Every time there was danger, a mysterious person would appear to help. The original host later discovered that this person was Fu Yunkui. But each time Fu Yunkui saved her, he would leave without saying anything. Sometimes, seeing her upset, he would ask if she wanted to go to Wuji Palace with him, where no one would bully her.

The original host refused.

Later, one day, somehow the entire martial arts world learned that the original host was in cahoots with Fu Yunkui of Wuji Palace. They clamored about eliminating her as a scourge of the martial arts world. In reality, they wanted to use the original host to lure out Fu Yunkui and then kill him.

The entire martial arts world thought they could kill Fu Yunkui this time, but unexpectedly, he not only rescued the original host but also escaped, though he was severely injured.

After Fu Yunkui disappeared with Shen Wan, soon another rumor appeared in the jianghu, related to the destruction of Flying Crane Manor.

Everyone learned that the root cause of all this was a treasure map.

The rumor was that Fu Yunkui had annihilated Flying Crane Manor for that treasure map, aiming to snatch the part of the map in Meng Wenshu’s possession. That treasure map not only led to countless gold and silver treasures but also contained supreme martial arts techniques and a peerless sword. If such a villain as Fu Yunkui obtained it, the entire martial arts world would be in peril.

This time, Fu Yunkui was truly branded as evil. The entire martial arts world seemed to go mad, clamoring to crusade against Fu Yunkui and eliminate this scourge of the martial arts world.

“In that case, I still need to help this Fu Yunkui. He can’t die,” Shen Wan said, carrying her small bundle and riding a horse, her whole body swaying with the horse’s movements. Riding a horse wasn’t pleasant at all; it was terribly bumpy. If she hadn’t been prepared, her legs would have been chafed raw.

[188: “Then Wan Wan, how do you plan to help Fu Yunkui?”] The system also felt that, looking at the whole story, Fu Yunkui wasn’t really that detestable. He had been very seriously playing the role of a villain, and a very principled villain at that.

Shen Wan: “No hurry. Let’s find Bai Weiwei first. I’m more interested in her right now.”

188: “……”

……

“Miss Bai.”

Bai Weiwei hadn’t expected at all that when she arrived at her destination, that little girl called Shen Wan would be standing outside the tea house, calling out to her sweetly. She nearly fell off her horse.

Luyi’s expression also changed. This was truly a coincidence.

Bai Weiwei composed herself and jumped off her horse.

Immediately, disciples from Guixu Sect came to help her lead away the horse, urgently inviting her inside. “Palace Master Bai, you’ve finally come. Please go in quickly to see our Sect Master.”

“What happened?” Bai Weiwei asked casually, glancing at Shen Wan who was tiptoeing behind her.

“We don’t know the specifics. We only know that our Sect Master accidentally rescued Meng Shan from a black-clothed man. Meng Shan is still unconscious, and we need Miss Bai to examine her as well.”

Bai Weiwei nodded slightly and asked, “Do you know my rules?”

The people around looked at each other. They knew, of course, but at a time like this, couldn’t she show some righteousness?

“What, not prepared?” Bai Weiwei, who was about to step in, withdrew her foot. “If you’re not prepared, I’ll wait outside. When you’re ready, I’ll go in to save people.”

With that, she really did step back and chose a place to sit down.

Then she found Shen Wan, carrying a small bundle, sitting down beside her, saying, “It’s crowded here, this is the only free seat. Miss Bai, we’re both women, let’s squeeze in together.”

As Bai Weiwei was about to order a pot of tea, Shen Wan quickly took out several hot flatbreads. “Miss Bai, are you hungry? Why don’t you eat something?”

“Miss Luyi, you eat some too.”

The flatbreads smelled delicious, and Bai Weiwei was actually quite hungry. In this desolate place, there was only this one tea house. The inside was occupied by Yang Yanqing. The tea house didn’t sell anything else, just tea.

Luyi, smelling the fragrant flatbreads, also unconsciously swallowed. She had never encountered such fragrant flatbreads before.

“Eat some, to fill your stomach.”

Shen Wan held out the wrapped flatbreads to Bai Weiwei. Seeing that she didn’t eat, she took out a wrapped chicken leg. “Or would you like a chicken leg?”

Observing secretly, 188 felt a bit sour. His host had promised not to spend money recklessly, but here she was doing it again. Buying food – couldn’t she just use silver to buy some dry provisions in the city, like dried meat or something? Why spend so much money to exchange items in the space mall? It was so expensive, yet she was willing to spend it.

Though not usually one to indulge in food pleasures, Bai Weiwei found herself unable to look away from the flatbreads and chicken leg Shen Wan held out, their aroma tantalizing. These flatbreads and chicken leg seemed to smell even better than what she’d had before.

“Thank you, then.”

Bai Weiwei did things according to her heart. Since she wanted to eat, she didn’t refuse, graciously accepting and thanking Shen Wan before starting to eat. She took a bite of flatbread, then a bite of chicken leg. As the two flavors entered her mouth, the aroma instantly spread through her teeth, nearly making her exclaim in surprise at how delicious they were.

Luyi: It’s really delicious. This little girl isn’t so annoying after all.

Shen Wan rested her chin on her hand, watching Bai Weiwei eat gracefully, a smile on her lips. “Expensive things are expensive for a reason.”

188: So, you have reasons for spending money recklessly? Just a few flatbreads and a chicken leg could have bought him several skins. He couldn’t take it anymore; he was really going to die of sourness.

The martial artists watching were all attracted by the aroma coming from Bai Weiwei’s side. If Yang Yanqing hadn’t been seriously injured, they would definitely have asked the little girl where she bought the flatbreads and chicken leg.

At this moment, a Guixu Sect disciple came out and cautiously said to Bai Weiwei, “Palace Master Bai, please help take a look at our Sect Master. Our Sect Master knows Palace Master Bai’s rules and has agreed to them. In a few days, it will be sent to Palace Master Bai.”

Bai Weiwei didn’t even look up, elegantly gnawing on the chicken leg. “I’ll treat him after I finish eating.”

“But…”

“Your Sect Master can still speak, so waiting a while won’t kill him. As long as there’s a breath left, I can save his life.”

The Guixu Sect disciple looked bitter. He wasn’t afraid the Sect Master would die; he was afraid that when Bai Weiwei saw the Sect Master’s worsened condition later, she might raise her price on the spot or something.

This Bai Weiwei was really too exploitative. Trying to get some medicine pills from her was bound to cost a fortune.

Fortunately, Bai Weiwei didn’t eat for long before going in to treat Yang Yanqing.

Yang Yanqing was seriously injured but hadn’t lost consciousness.

While Bai Weiwei was taking his pulse, apart from Shen Wan, no one noticed her eyes narrowing for a moment.

“Palace Master Bai, how is our Sect Master?”

Bai Weiwei glanced at Yang Yanqing and said, “The injuries are more severe than I thought, so…”

The onlookers wore expressions of “as expected,” knowing she would definitely raise the price.

“Palace Master Bai, please go ahead and treat me. The compensation will be tripled.”

Hearing Yang Yanqing’s words, Bai Weiwei laughed. “Good, Sect Master Yang is straightforward.” How straightforward indeed – inflicting internal injuries on himself and pretending to be injured by others, did he really think she couldn’t see through it? But what did that matter to her? As long as she got paid.

Bai Weiwei took out silver needles. In an instant, points of cold light flashed before her eyes as needle after needle flew into Yang Yanqing’s body. Yang Yanqing’s face immediately turned red. Soon after, Bai Weiwei lightly patted the air in front of Yang Yanqing, and the silver needles that had flown into his body suddenly flew out. The silver-white needles had changed color.

Yang Yanqing expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Palace Master Bai, for saving me.”

“Everyone, I’m fine now.” Although not fully recovered, his internal injuries were mostly healed. Yang Yanqing stood up and looked at Meng Shan, who was leaning on a female disciple. “Earlier, when I heard news of Shan’er, I didn’t have time to notify everyone and rushed to save her alone. The opponent was highly skilled, and I nearly lost my life. If I hadn’t been determined to save Brother Meng’s only bloodline, I might not have made it back. Fortunately, I risked half my life and managed to rescue Shan’er in the end.”

“Palace Master Bai, how is Shan’er?” Yang Yanqing asked with concern.

Bai Weiwei released Meng Shan’s wrist and answered with a smile, “Nothing serious. She’s just under the influence of a drug causing her to be unconscious. This kind of anesthetic is very special. It might be untreatable elsewhere, but I have a way to deal with it.”

Yang Yanqing’s lips twitched slightly. “Then what do you need?”

“I won’t trouble Sect Master Yang this time. Removing the anesthetic isn’t that complicated; no needles are needed.” She took out a white jade bottle. “This is the pill to remove the anesthetic. I’ll sell it to Sect Master Yang for just a thousand taels, originally it was two thousand.”

Just as Yang Yanqing was letting out a slight sigh of relief, Bai Weiwei added, “Oh, that’s in gold, by the way.”

Yang Yanqing clenched his fist inside his sleeve. What a rip-off!

He forced a smile. “In a few days, I’ll send disciples to deliver it to Palace Master Bai.”

“Very well, I know Sect Master Yang is a man of his word.” Bai Weiwei tossed the white jade bottle to Yang Yanqing and turned to leave.

Shen Wan hurriedly followed her, muttering to 188, “How much does that pill cost to make?” She asked this just to see how black-hearted her future wife really was.

[188: “At most fifty wen, no more than that. The medicinal ingredients for making the pill can be bought in any pharmacy. It’s just that the formula for concocting it is quite precious, but selling it for so much gold is really too expensive.”]

Shen Wan: “So she really is black-hearted. That’s exciting.”

188: “……” Birds of a feather.

After leaving the tea house, Bai Weiwei couldn’t help but laugh. Her mocking laughter echoed through the wilderness.

Luyi asked, not understanding, “Palace Master, what are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at how easy it is to make money from these righteous sects. We should come to places like this more often in the future. If every sect master is like Yang Yanqing, enjoying beating themselves half to death before seeking my treatment, that would be wonderful.”

Luyi was shocked: “Palace Master, do you mean Yang Yanqing’s injuries were self-inflicted? Why?”

“I don’t know, and it’s none of my business. I just take payment to treat illnesses and injuries; I don’t meddle in affairs.”

Luyi suddenly remembered that Shen Wan was still beside them and quickly turned back, fiercely warning, “Little girl, whatever you’ve heard, you’d better forget it. If you bring trouble upon yourself, our Palace Master won’t meddle in your affairs.”

“Palace Master Bai, don’t worry. I’ll keep your secret. I won’t tell others that you saw through Yang Yanqing’s self-inflicted injuries before treating him,” Shen Wan said seriously, standing straight. “You saved my life. No matter what kind of person you are, this life of mine belongs to you.”

Luyi: “……”

Bai Weiwei stopped and turned to look at Shen Wan, her gaze filled with a smile that held a hint of coldness. Standing nearby, even Luyi felt her scalp tingle. Shen Wan’s words really sounded like she was threatening the Palace Master.

This foolish girl, did she think the Palace Master could be threatened? Look, now she’s angered the Palace Master. Who knows if she can even keep her little life now? To be honest, although she hadn’t eaten the chicken leg earlier, that flatbread really did taste good.

“Miss Bai, why are you looking at me like that?” Shen Wan asked softly. “Actually, you don’t need to be moved by my earlier words. After all, you did save my life.”

Luyi: “……” Struggling in vain at death’s door. No hope left.

Bai Weiwei suddenly laughed, moving closer to Shen Wan and asking in a low voice, “Where did you buy those chicken legs and flatbreads from earlier? Do you have any more?”

“It’s a bit far from here. If Miss Bai needs them, I’ll go buy them for you right away. I don’t know if you’re willing to wait.”

“Go buy them. I’ll wait.” Bai Weiwei had already dismounted and walked to a large tree, waving her hand. “You go buy them; I’ll wait here.”

Shen Wan: “If my wife wants to eat, I’ll buy no matter how expensive! Roar……”

[188: “It’s really very expensive, Wan Wan. It’s very costly. Save a bit; don’t spoil her.”]

Shen Wan: “I know what I’m doing.” But in front of her wife, she didn’t.

“Palace Master?” Luyi asked in a low voice. “Is there something off about this Shen Wan? I feel she’s not like someone who grew up in a small village. She’s not simple.” To be able to stand unflinching under the Palace Master’s cold gaze, she really wasn’t simple. Fortunately, she wasn’t killed by the Palace Master. After all, those flatbreads really did taste good.

“Then let’s keep her around. She likes to follow, doesn’t she? I should take a good look at what tricks she’s trying to play.”

Bai Weiwei leaned against the big tree, a smile on her lips, her gaze looking towards the direction Shen Wan had disappeared. So, she had misjudged. What secrets did that little girl really have? She clearly had no internal energy at all.

Shen Wan: Happy. Successfully caught my wife’s attention.
