Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

While the entire martial arts world was in an uproar searching for the treasure, Shen Wan and Bai Weiwei, who had secretly moved it, were busy leading the villagers of Crow Village in the enthusiastic construction of the Water Cloud Palace.

“I didn’t know you were capable of this,” Bai Weiwei said, surprised that Shen Wan could bring her imagined Water Cloud Palace to life on paper.

Looking at the magnificent palace depicted on the sheet, she was somewhat astonished. She had merely described it verbally, but what Shen Wan had drawn was even more perfect than she had imagined.

Of course, building such a palace would require countless gold and silver.

Aware that wealth doesn’t last forever if merely consumed, Bai Weiwei had already sent Luyi out to recruit people and set up shops for business. With her connections and those of her master from years past, setting up shops was a relatively easy task.

The reason she could easily obtain so much information was that there were too many people indebted to the Water Cloud Palace. Not everyone had been scammed by her. Just the number of people saved by her master in the past was countless.

Moreover, with her medical skills, who in the martial arts world could guarantee they wouldn’t get injured, fall ill, or face life-threatening situations? Everyone had to rely on her, so when she asked for help with something, it was effortless.

Since the Water Cloud Palace was known to the world for its superior medical skills, the shops Luyi was sent to open were naturally pharmacies. With the reputation of the Water Cloud Palace, countless people would patronize them. In the future, when people needed medicine, these pharmacies would provide a place to go.

Shen Wan, meanwhile, was busy helping plan the Water Cloud Palace. Building a palace was not an overnight task. According to the current blueprints she had drawn, even with increased manpower, it would take at least three years.

As everything seemed to be on track, about half a month had passed. The jianghu had become chaotic, and Fu Yunkui of the Wuji Palace hadn’t appeared since he was “severely injured” last time. At this point, no one cared about what had happened to Fu Yunkui.

Bai Weiwei found Shen Wan sitting on a rock and casually sat beside her. “Are you feeling bored?”

“Not at all,” Shen Wan glanced at the busy villagers behind them and said, “I’m just worried. At this rate, it’ll take at least three years for the palace to be completed. I’m hoping that when the palace is finished, it’ll be time for the Water Cloud Palace to make its debut, and I’ll get a position just below yours, Miss Bai.”

There was another worry: though the wedding had taken place, everyone seemed to treat it as if it hadn’t happened. What could be done about that?

This was the most troubling thing.

Shen Wan frowned, glancing at the smiling Bai Weiwei, unsure of what she was thinking. Did she have feelings for her or not? If she did, she should just say so, no need to be so reserved. Be direct!!

“I previously instructed Luyi to have some things brought back for you. Do you want to go see? The jianghu has been quite lively recently. Why don’t you change into some new clothes, and we’ll go down to have a look?” Bai Weiwei grabbed Shen Wan’s wrist and pulled her up. “Hero Shen has also sent me a message. He and Meng Xuan have joined forces to find evidence of Yang Yanqing’s massacre at Flying Crane Manor. They plan to reveal this when the martial arts world gathers, delivering a fatal blow to Yang Yanqing.”

“Yang Yanqing is no simple character. Although Hero Shen’s martial arts are strong, he’s upright and straightforward. I’m afraid he might fall into Yang Yanqing’s trap. So, shall I take you to see what’s happening, just in case?”

Shen Wan was momentarily stunned, then quickly nodded. “Alright, let’s go right away.”

She couldn’t let Shen Shao be outsmarted by Yang Yanqing. Both Yang Yanqing and Meng Xuan were unscrupulous, pursuing their goals by any means necessary. In the novel’s world, hadn’t Shen Shao been manipulated by Meng Xuan, attracting Yang Yanqing’s full firepower and dying from severe injuries? Although Shen Shao didn’t believe Meng Xuan had manipulated him.

“How do you like these?” 

Shen Wan had expected Bai Weiwei to have someone bring her something, but it turned out to be beautiful dresses for young ladies and exquisite jewelry.

“This hairpin is made from high-quality jade I selected from the treasure. I had someone take it down the mountain to find a craftsman to make it. I asked Luyi to take a batch of gold, silver, jade, and jewels down to be made into accessories. See if there’s anything you like. If you do, you can wear different pieces every day.” Bai Weiwei leaned against the doorway, seeing Shen Wan staring blankly at the array of jewelry in the box, and explained, “After all, you’re my person now. I can’t mistreat you.”

Her person now?

Shen Wan held a hairpin, smiling happily. “Since Miss Bai is so thoughtful, I won’t refuse,” she glanced at the jewelry before her and the beautiful clothes hanging nearby. “I like everything here. Are they all for me?”

These are all hers. Whoever tries to snatch them, she’ll throw them out!

Bai Weiwei’s lips curved slightly. “They’re all yours.”

Shen Wan: “188, did you see that? My wife is so good to me. She even said I’m her person now. What do you think she means? Is she simply saying I belong to her, or that I’m part of the Water Cloud Palace? I guess it must be the former.”

188: You’ve said it all. What else can he say?

Shen Wan changed into a beautiful outfit that fit her perfectly. She also chose a couple of hair ornaments to wear. Turning around, she hung her small bundle on her body. As she was about to take her kitchen knife, Bai Weiwei approached her with a long sword. “A kitchen knife isn’t very useful. This sword can cut through iron like mud. Use this instead.”

Among the treasure, there were many such divine weapons. This sword was not only light but also very effective.

Shen Wan didn’t refuse. She tossed the kitchen knife aside. Indeed, with so many precious swords now, why should she carry a kitchen knife? That wouldn’t suit her status at all.

And so, the two of them descended the mountain.

Along the way, Bai Weiwei kept receiving numerous messages. Watching the messenger birds flying by continuously, Shen Wan asked, “What’s the situation now?”

“It seems they’ve found the location of the treasure. Everyone is rushing there now,” Bai Weiwei crumpled the note and said with a smile, “Originally, Yang Yanqing probably planned to find the treasure secretly, but Meng Xuan didn’t give him the chance. He’s been hovering around Yang Yanqing every day, even suggesting that several sects search together. Yang Yanqing had no way to slip away. He could only watch helplessly as everyone found the treasure’s location.”

Of course, Shen Shao, hiding in the shadows, had secretly pushed things along.

Thinking of this, Bai Weiwei found it a bit strange. Hero Shen’s style of doing things seemed a bit different this time. But she didn’t think too much about it, assuming it was the result of Shen Shao and Meng Xuan’s discussions.

The two of them also followed the path to the hidden treasure. On the way, they encountered Meng Xuan’s group.

Meng Xuan’s gaze kept falling on Shen Wan. He would never forget being kicked into the stream by a blind and deaf woman when he was severely injured by the small stream before. Now, seeing her unharmed, with eyes that could see and ears that could hear, he felt he had been deceived.

Shen Wan: “……” She hadn’t expected karma to come so quickly.

“Is Madam Bai also going to seek the treasure?” Meng Xuan’s cold gaze didn’t leave Shen Wan. “We’re also heading that way. Master Yang and the other sects have already gone ahead after receiving the news. Why don’t we travel together?”

Shen Wan moved two steps behind Bai Weiwei. Was this Meng Xuan planning to take revenge on her? Although she wasn’t afraid, she didn’t want to have any conflict with Meng Xuan at this time. It would be better for him to focus on dealing with Yang Yanqing.

“Indeed, I just figured out the treasure’s location and came down the mountain, only to find the entire martial arts world had worked it out. Since that’s the case, let’s go see. There should be plenty of treasure. Even if everyone goes together and divides it up, we should each get a couple of gold pieces. Two gold pieces are still gold pieces.”

Bai Weiwei pulled Shen Wan out from behind her. Meng Xuan’s gaze never left Shen Wan. This caused Meng Shan to frown. She had never seen her senior brother stare at a woman for so long. This woman was indeed quite beautiful. Could it be that her senior brother was interested in her? Thinking of this, Meng Shan’s expression became unsightly. It was bad enough having the beautiful and capable Yue Han following her senior brother all the time, and now there was a Shen Wan too? She wouldn’t stand for it.

Yue Han wasn’t with them today, who knows where she had gone.

“Senior Brother, do you know Miss Shen?” Meng Shan quickly stepped forward, asking with a hint of jealousy.

Meng Xuan quickly shook his head. “I don’t know her, but I’ve seen her before.” His gaze fell on Shen Wan’s face, with a hint of a smile. “I wonder if Miss Shen remembers?”

Do you remember kicking me into the stream?

He still couldn’t be sure if Shen Wan had done it intentionally or unknowingly.

Shen Wan looked at Meng Xuan with a bewildered expression, about to say something when Bai Weiwei pulled her forward and took out something like an eye mask, immediately putting it over Shen Wan’s eyes.

She said softly, “Your eyes haven’t fully recovered yet. They can’t be exposed to light for too long. Wear this for now to let your eyes rest. We’ll take it off later.”

188: This… are you serious???

Shen Wan: She was about to go crazy! This sudden love made her want to howl with excitement.

Seeing Shen Wan with an eye mask on, Meng Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “Madam Bai, what’s wrong with Miss Shen?” Could it be that he had misunderstood?

“Her eyes are ill,” Bai Weiwei didn’t explain further. This statement was enough to dispel Meng Xuan’s previous thoughts. So he had indeed misunderstood.

He remembered seeing Shen Wan once before when he was being pursued by Yang Yanqing. She seemed to be following Bai Weiwei then. Could it be that Bai Weiwei was already treating her illness at that time?

Shen Wan: Did you hear that? She’s ill. She didn’t intentionally kick him into the lake.

“Then Miss Bai, when will I be fully recovered and not need to wear this?” Shen Wan asked obediently.

Bai Weiwei answered seriously: “It will take three more days.”

Meng Xuan stopped staring at Shen Wan. Now, what he wanted most was to expose Yang Yanqing’s plot.

The group continued on without further conversation, quickly heading towards the treasure’s hiding place.

When they arrived at a certain location and met up with Yang Yanqing and others, the surrounding area was packed with martial artists.

It was evident that Yang Yanqing’s expression wasn’t pleasant. His deep gaze swept over the crowd. People from other sects reminded him that they seemed to be close to the treasure’s location. He gritted his teeth but still led everyone forward. He wouldn’t let those who had schemed against him off easily. Meng Xuan seemed to sense that Yang Yanqing’s final cold glance was directed at him. Regardless of what the other party had noticed, this time it would be either his death or the other’s death.

Several hours later, when the various martial arts sects finally reached the treasure’s hiding place, they opened the stone door and passed through easily without encountering much danger. This made them feel uneasy.

When they arrived at the empty mountain cavity and saw that there was nothing inside, their faces changed dramatically. They immediately surrounded Yang Yanqing.

“Master Yang, this isn’t right, is it?”

“Master Yang, it seems you didn’t want to share the treasure with us. No wonder you came to search for the treasure with us. You must have moved the treasure away first.”

“That’s right. Now you come with us, thinking you can clear your suspicion? You believe that by coming with us, you can prove your innocence and make us believe you didn’t move the treasure? Master Yang, you’re too naive. We’re not fools. This is clearly a case of the guardian stealing the treasure.”

Yang Yanqing wanted to spit in disgust. These people had been watching him so closely, and with that little bastard Meng Xuan constantly causing trouble, how could he have had time to move the treasure?

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed out, grabbed Meng Xuan, and said fiercely, “You tell us, did Master Yang secretly move the treasure away?”

“If I tell you, will you let me go?” Meng Xuan asked.

Shen Wan: Indeed, he’s the most shameless lead. He can even come up with such a despicable trick.

“If you tell us, I’ll let you go.”

Meng Xuan quickly said, “Master Yang, I’m sorry, but I haven’t found the culprit who destroyed my Flying Crane Manor, so I can’t die yet.” Saying this, he shouted, “These treasures were indeed secretly moved away by Master Yang. I swear!”

Yang Yanqing roared, “You’re talking nonsense!!”

“I can testify!” A sudden voice from behind startled everyone, followed by another righteous-sounding voice, “I, Shen Shao, can testify that all the treasures here were moved away by Yang Yanqing. I guarantee this on my name!”

Shen Wan stared in disbelief at Shen Shao as he walked in. Though he looked righteous, how could he lie without showing any signs of deceit?

“You… you’re Hero Shen?”

Shen Shao nodded with a serious expression. “I am Shen Shao.”

Murmurs arose from the crowd, all saying that Hero Shen’s words couldn’t possibly be false. Even if others lied, Hero Shen wouldn’t.

Bai Weiwei, holding Shen Wan’s hand in the corner, leaned close to her ear and asked softly, “What have you and your father been through all these years?” How could the upright and honest Hero Shen lie without even blushing?

Shen Wan quickly distanced herself: “I haven’t seen my father for quite some time. He must have gone off on his own and learned bad habits.”

Shen Shao had gone bad, but what did that have to do with her?

She had only spent a few days with him after crossing over before they separated.

Shen Shao calmly surveyed the people around him, thinking to himself: That naughty girl wasn’t wrong. When doing things, there’s no need to be so concerned with propriety and shame. As long as you don’t harm innocent people, using a few tricks can be quite effective.
