Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chapter 84. Meddling in Affairs? The Wipes-Out-the-Entire-Village Kind (8)



Hearing Shen Wan ask if she intended to force her to do something, Bai Weiwei was momentarily taken aback. Seeing Shen Wan’s complete lack of fear and even a hint of eagerness, her interest was piqued once more.

“If I were to force you to do something, what would you do?” Without waiting for Shen Wan’s response, she added another question, “Would you regret not leaving earlier today?”

Shen Wan quickly replied, “No, I wouldn’t regret it.”

“Oh, then you can answer my previous question now.”

“What question?” Shen Wan pretended to have forgotten, hoping Bai Weiwei would ask again. After a brief interruption, it was harder to muster the right emotional response to such a question.

Bai Weiwei cleared her throat and said, “Alright, I’ll ask you again. If I were to force you to do something, what would you do?”

“What else could I do? I can’t fight back, I can’t resist, so naturally I’d accept my fate, obediently follow orders, and do whatever Miss Bai says. Miss Bai is beautiful and kind-hearted. Even if she forced me to do something, I don’t think it would be too difficult or life-threatening. By being obedient, there might even be a way out.”

“Pfft——“

Hearing Shen Wan’s words, Luyi couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She observed that Shen Wan showed no reluctance at all, hardly seeming like someone being forced. Moreover, she could see in Shen Wan’s expression a hint of ‘If you have the guts, come and force me.’ No, no, no, she must have misread it. How could there be such a shameless woman in this world?

Bai Weiwei truly hadn’t expected Shen Wan to answer like this. Yet hearing such a response, she wasn’t surprised. Instead, she felt somewhat pleased, which was rather strange.

“Miss Bai, you ask this way, do you really want to force me to do something?” Shen Wan asked excitedly. Was it possible that Bai Weiwei had taken a fancy to her beauty and wanted to snatch her away to the mountains as her captive wife? If so, she really wouldn’t resist. After all, she couldn’t win in a fight, and the person abducting her was both fragrant and beautiful. Only a fool would resist.

Bai Weiwei frowned slightly. She could see that Shen Wan seemed to be looking forward to being forced to do something. Could it be that this little girl was actually a masochist, the kind that gets more excited the more she’s abused?

“I haven’t thought of anything at the moment, but who knows about the future.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Seeing Shen Wan’s slightly disappointed look, Bai Weiwei felt like she was seeing a ghost in broad daylight. How could she have encountered such a person? Initially, she had the upper hand, but now she felt like she was in an awkward position if she didn’t force the other party to do something.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she said, “Weren’t you going to accompany me to find the treasure? Earlier, you looked so confident, so you must know how to find it, right? Now I’m going to force you to do the first thing. After we find the treasure, everything inside belongs to me. You’re not allowed to take even a single coin.”

“It’s all yours, it’s all yours, everything belongs to Miss Bai. Don’t worry, Miss Bai, I won’t take even a penny.”

It’s all her wife’s. Whoever tries to snatch it, she’ll fight them!

Shen Wan nodded quickly without any hesitation, which greatly annoyed Bai Weiwei. She had thought Shen Wan would look shocked, or even sad or disbelieving. Why did the other party have an attitude of ‘it’s all yours, I’ll give it all to you, everything is yours, I won’t fight for it,’ as if she was pampering her?

Luyi: It is a bit strange. Who doesn’t like treasure? Not to mention the countless gold and silver treasures, just the precious swords and supreme martial arts manuals would be enough to drive the entire martial arts world crazy.

Is there really someone so indifferent to fame and fortune?

Regardless of Bai Weiwei’s inner frustration or Luyi’s confusion, the three of them set out on their treasure-hunting journey.

Shen Wan told Bai Weiwei that she could sense where the treasure was, but they couldn’t be too far away. So they had to traverse all the mountains and rivers to determine the exact location of the treasure. It sounded very strange, and Luyi didn’t believe it, but Bai Weiwei did and allowed Shen Wan to lead them around.

In the meantime, various news from the martial arts world would reach them, mostly about the affairs of Meng Xuan, Yang Yanqing, Fu Yunkui, and others. As long as no one was seriously injured, Bai Weiwei didn’t care. If she couldn’t make money from it, how could she possibly care?

Shen Wan didn’t care either. None of those people were as important as her wife. Now she was busy accompanying her wife to find treasure, so she had no time to bother with them. With her previous reminder, Fu Yunkui already knew that Yang Yanqing was the real culprit behind the scenes. He wasn’t a fool, so he would probably discover Meng Xuan’s abnormality later. Fu Yunkui now had no weaknesses, so even if Meng Xuan and Yang Yanqing joined forces, they couldn’t kill him.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Bai Weiwei received news that Yang Yanqing had been publicly beaten and severely injured by Fu Yunkui. The Returning to Void Sect was looking for her everywhere, asking her to come and treat Yang Yanqing.

“It’s so far away, I don’t really want to go,” Bai Weiwei said, sitting on a smooth, clean stone slab and drinking clear water. “I don’t know how long it would take to make the round trip. If the Returning to Void Sect can’t offer me anything satisfactory, I really don’t want to make this journey. It’s not worth it at all.”

The person who had come to invite Bai Weiwei felt like crying upon hearing these words. In the past, although Bai Weiwei was a bit of a scammer, she was always enthusiastic about such matters. Now Bai Weiwei wasn’t easily tempted and had become lazy, not even wanting to make money when it was offered. What were they supposed to do? Their Sect Master was severely injured and waiting for treatment.

“Madam Bai, you can’t just stand by and watch someone die!”

Bai Weiwei frowned. She really didn’t want to rush back. Even riding at full speed, the round trip would take several days, which was too time-consuming. Now she was more interested in finding the treasure. Recently, her days had been comfortable and peaceful, and she no longer wanted to go to that place of blood and violence.

Her gaze inadvertently swept over to Shen Wan, who was sitting to the side, tending to a fire and happily roasting wild chickens and rabbits. The corners of her lips curved upward as she smelled the fragrant aroma of roasted meat, her smile growing wider. She was still more interested in finding the treasure and didn’t want to go treat that old codger Yang Yanqing.

“Miss Bai, don’t you have many medicinal pills for treating injuries? Just tell them to exchange them for silver or something you’re interested in. If they describe Sect Master Yang’s injuries in detail, you can prepare a few precious pills to sell them. Wouldn’t that work?”

Bai Weiwei’s eyes lit up. That’s right, Yang Yanqing wasn’t really on the verge of death. He was severely injured because he had hidden his true strength, making it known to everyone, probably intending to make the martial arts world hate Fu Yunkui even more. How could she not take advantage of such a fat sheep that had delivered itself to her doorstep?

She could casually prepare a few pills and sell them at a high price. With Yang Yanqing’s recovery ability, he would surely recover quickly.

“Then describe Sect Master Yang’s injuries, and I’ll prepare some pills to sell you to take back.”

And so, Yang Yanqing would occasionally be beaten by Fu Yunkui, and people from the Returning to Void Sect would come to buy pills from Bai Weiwei from time to time.

Because Fu Yunkui frequently went to cause trouble for Yang Yanqing, he had no way to arrange for people to kill disciples from various major sects, which allowed those sects to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yang Yanqing thought Fu Yunkui’s behavior would enrage the entire martial arts world.

When he convened a martial arts assembly, Fu Yunkui came again, beating him up in front of everyone and saying, “I can easily beat up this old man Yang Yanqing. Why would I need to kill disciples from your sects? You’re really underestimating me. I’m doing this to tell you not to flatter yourselves. If I wanted to kill someone, Yang Yanqing would be the first one I’d kill. Killing those small fries would be an insult to my hands.”

Then he stepped on Yang Yanqing in front of everyone and flew away.

Yang Yanqing was so angry he could spit fire. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to reveal his true strength and kill that extremely arrogant Fu Yunkui.

Meng Xuan, standing to the side, watched Fu Yunkui’s retreating figure with eyes full of deep thought, finally becoming determined. It was unclear what decision he had made.

Not long after, Fu Yunkui appeared before Shen Wan and Bai Weiwei. Seeing them wandering leisurely in the wilderness, he couldn’t help but say, “The martial arts world is in chaos, yet you have the leisure to sightsee here.”

“The chaos in the martial arts world seems to have nothing to do with me,” Shen Wan said, waving a kitchen knife as she slowly gutted and cleaned a wild chicken. Her skillful technique made Fu Yunkui wonder if this little girl’s family was in the chicken-killing business.

Bai Weiwei nodded, “It really has nothing to do with us. Although my Water Cloud Palace is large, we never participate in jianghu disputes. If anyone falls ill, they can come to me to buy medicinal pills.”

Fu Yunkui went to the riverside and sat down beside Shen Wan, watching her clean a wild chicken thoroughly, skewer it on a tree branch, and place it over the prepared fire to roast. “Do you know why I came to find you?” he asked.

Bai Weiwei, sitting some distance away, clearly heard Fu Yunkui’s words. He had come to find Shen Wan? What connection did he have with Shen Wan? They sat together looking quite familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time, all mysterious…

“Why?” Shen Wan asked.

Fu Yunkui said in a low voice, “I want to tell you something. You might not even believe it when I say it.”

Seeing the two of them leaning in close, Bai Weiwei really wanted to say, “If you’re going to talk, just talk. Why do you need to lean in so close? That little girl isn’t really deaf.”

“What is it?” Shen Wan asked with curiosity.

Bai Weiwei: It’s probably just some trivial matter from the jianghu. What’s so special about it?

“That suggestion you gave me last time was really brilliant,” Fu Yunkui said excitedly. “Recently, whenever I have free time, I go find Yang Yanqing and give him a good beating in front of everyone. I can see that he doesn’t dare use his full strength to hide his true abilities. Every time I beat him until he coughs up blood, I feel so satisfied. Serves that old man right for being so devious.”

“Anyway, let me tell you that thing you might not believe,” Fu Yunkui returned to the topic. “You know Meng Xuan, right?”

“Yes, Meng Wenshu’s senior disciple.”

“That’s right. Do you know that he’s different from what we thought? The other day, he came to find me secretly, and his martial arts skills aren’t as poor as imagined. Although he’s slightly inferior to me, he’s indeed considered a master in the martial arts world.”

As Fu Yunkui was about to say more, Bai Weiwei had already walked up to the two of them. Her delicate jade hand patted Fu Yunkui’s shoulder, seemingly lightly, but in reality, Fu Yunkui sank down and had to move away. He looked at Bai Weiwei in bewilderment, wondering if he had offended her somehow.

“You want to say that Meng Xuan isn’t simple, right?” Bai Weiwei said, pursing her lips. “We’ve known this for a long time. It’s not anything special. Are you going to say that Meng Xuan wants to cooperate with you?”

Seeing Fu Yunkui’s incredulous expression, Bai Weiwei felt pleased. “I’ve already discussed this with Shen Wan. Meng Xuan is just enduring humiliation and biding his time while staying by his enemy’s side. Now that he’s approached you, it’s only because he sees your strength is considerable and can be used by him. With you two working together from both inside and outside, the chances of defeating Yang Yanqing are greater. Of course, given his cunning nature, if something unexpected happens in the end, you’ll definitely be the scapegoat. He might even help Yang Yanqing stab you in the back if he sees he can’t defeat Yang Yanqing, to gain Yang Yanqing’s trust and protect himself.”

“Madam Bai, how do you know so much?” Fu Yunkui asked, feeling confused and shocked.

Shen Wan answered instinctively, “Because Miss Bai is as clever as snow and as perceptive as a god. Of course she knows these things.”

“Those involved in such matters are often blind to the truth. As an outsider, I naturally know,” Bai Weiwei said proudly, pleased with Shen Wan’s words. “Besides, with my vast Water Cloud Palace, how could we not investigate and uncover this information?”

Fu Yunkui was convinced. Indeed, the Water Cloud Palace had been known in the jianghu for so many years, yet apart from Bai Weiwei and her maid Luyi, they had never seen any other members. It was truly mysterious, appearing and disappearing without a trace, impossible to track down.

Luyi: For some reason, her face turned a bit red at this moment.

[188: “Wan Wan, why do I remember that the Water Cloud Palace never had more than three people?”] He had always wanted to ask this question. Every time he heard Bai Weiwei talk about maintaining her vast Water Cloud Palace, he really wanted to ask: besides Luyi and herself, who exactly did she need to support?

Shen Wan: “You must be remembering incorrectly. If she says the Water Cloud Palace is big, then it’s big. If she says there are many people, then there are many.”
