Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

“Father, I think this matter isn’t urgent. I’m still young, not in a hurry to marry. Besides, you’ve just finished your business and now want to marry me off. Have you spent all your money out there and can’t afford to keep me anymore?”

Shen Shao’s expression was hard to describe. “Who said I’m marrying you off because I can’t afford to keep you, girl?”

“No one said it, but you seemed so anxious earlier, as if afraid I wouldn’t get married. You’ve been gone for over a year. Dealing with Yang Yanqing must have cost you a lot of money, right? Tell me, have you spent it all?”

Shen Shao looked a bit embarrassed. “Well… This past year, uncovering the truth did cost quite a bit. But Wan Wan, if you like someone, I’ll find a way to prepare a dowry for you. I guarantee you’ll have a grand wedding. No one will look down on you. If anyone dares to bully my daughter, I’ll thrash them!”

Shen Wan glanced at Bai Weiwei, whose eyelashes fluttered. This Hero Shen’s personality had indeed changed a lot. She remembered that the Hero Shen she met with her master years ago wasn’t like this.

Seeing Shen Wan looking at her, she suddenly felt Shen Wan was quite right. Hero Shen must have gone out alone and learned bad habits.

Shen Wan kept looking at Bai Weiwei, who finally spoke up. “Hero Shen, Wan Wan is indeed still young. There’s no rush for marriage. She’s now part of my Water Cloud Palace. We’re currently expanding, so why not wait until the expansion is complete before discussing Wan Wan’s lifelong happiness?”

“Your Water Cloud Palace is expanding?” Even Shen Shao, who had never been to the real Water Cloud Palace, didn’t know that it had fewer than three people.

In the eyes of those in the jianghu, Water Cloud Palace was mysterious, powerful, wealthy, and an existence that the entire jianghu couldn’t afford to offend.

Hearing that the Water Cloud Palace was expanding, Shen Shao was very surprised. It was already so large and mysterious, yet it still needed to expand?

“That’s right. Wan Wan has helped me a lot this time, so I’ve let her join the Water Cloud Palace. I’ll give her a special position later. With my Water Cloud Palace backing her, Hero Shen doesn’t need to worry about Wan Wan’s future, right?” Bai Weiwei said calmly. “Whether it’s her future dowry or whom she marries, I’ll handle it all. I won’t let her be taken advantage of.”

“What do you think, Hero Shen? Do you trust my Water Cloud Palace?”

Shen Shao nodded without hesitation. “This is good. Of course I trust the Water Cloud Palace.” He slapped the back of Shen Wan’s head and laughed, “I never thought this naughty girl would gain Madam Bai’s favor. She’s made something of herself.”

Shen Wan rubbed her head painfully and moved behind Bai Weiwei. “Father, you’re so rough. You’ll knock me silly.”

Just as Shen Shao was about to say something, they heard running footsteps from the passage, accompanied by shouts: “Hero Shen, Yang Yanqing has escaped! Stop him quickly!!”

“Don’t let that scoundrel Yang Yanqing escape! Catch him!!”

As soon as the voices rang out, Yang Yanqing, covered in wounds, rushed out and tried to flee in a certain direction. Shen Shao leapt to block his path.

Yang Yanqing’s face changed. His cold gaze swept the surroundings and finally landed on Shen Wan. He had noticed earlier that Shen Wan called Shen Shao “father.” This was Shen Shao’s daughter, who seemed to lack inner strength and looked easy to bully. If he could grab Shen Wan, he might be able to escape today.

As Yang Yanqing darted towards Shen Wan, Bai Weiwei noticed. She was about to pull Shen Wan away when Shen Wan, hugging her arm, spun around and kicked Yang Yanqing in the face as he approached. She had taken a strength-enhancing pill, and this kick sent Yang Yanqing crashing into the cliff wall with a loud thud that made everyone wince.

As Yang Yanqing flew through the air, he bitterly wondered why this seemingly defenseless little girl without inner strength could kick him so painfully and send him flying. He could feel his jaw had been dislocated, the pain making his eyes water.

As Yang Yanqing tumbled down, Shen Shao shouted, “Quick, seize him! Young Meng, here’s your chance for revenge!”

The martial artists rushed forward, sealing off all escape routes. Meng Xuan, without thinking, charged in with his sword. This Yang Yanqing was indeed cunning, nearly escaping. Fortunately, Hero Shen had the foresight to guard outside.

Shen Shao ignored that side and hurried to Shen Wan, asking with concern, “Wan Wan, are you alright?”

Still clinging to Bai Weiwei’s arm, Shen Wan flexed her foot and shook her head. “I’m fine. I saw through his attempt to sneak attack and use me to threaten you. How could I give him that chance? Of course I kicked him away.”

Shen Wan and Bai Weiwei exchanged glances. That’s what she said, but Yang Yanqing was a martial arts master. Even injured, he wasn’t someone an ordinary person could handle. This girl had no inner strength, so how could she kick him flying with one foot?

“Your leg isn’t hurt?” Bai Weiwei asked.

Shen Wan shook her head. “Not at all. If you’re worried, Miss Bai, you can check for me.”

Shen Shao thought this exchange was strange.

Bai Weiwei directly grasped Shen Wan’s wrist, then released it after a moment. “I’ve checked. There’s no problem at all.”

“Can you check like that? I hurt my leg…” Shen Wan grumbled inwardly. Such impressive medical skills, able to diagnose leg problems just by taking a pulse.

While the three were concerned about Shen Wan’s leg, a scream came from Yang Yanqing, followed by his vicious words, “If I can’t have it good, neither will you!”

Hearing this, all three looked in that direction but took no action. The area was already surrounded by countless martial artists. The severely injured Yang Yanqing had no way to escape.

Shen Shao muttered softly, “I wonder who Yang Yanqing will bite in his desperation?”

“Probably Meng Xuan or Meng Shan,” Shen Wan replied, glancing at Bai Weiwei. “What do you think, Miss Bai?”

Bai Weiwei nodded. “You’re right. I also think it’s Meng Xuan or Meng Shan. But Meng Shan seems easier to bully. Yang Yanqing will likely grab her to escape.”

“Meng Xuan will probably shield Meng Shan from Yang Yanqing’s attack,” Shen Wan continued. “Yue Han is utterly devoted to Meng Xuan. She might risk her life for him.”

Just as Shen Wan finished speaking, they heard Meng Xuan shout “Yue Han!”, followed by Yang Yanqing’s scream. It sounded like he might be dead.

The three walked into the crowd and saw Yang Yanqing lying on the ground, his eyes wide open in death. Meng Xuan was holding the seemingly dying Yue Han, while Meng Shan, pale-faced, gripped Meng Xuan’s arm tightly.

“Yue Han, why are you so foolish?”

Shen Wan: “…” Don’t you know why she’s so foolish? Didn’t you always know Yue Han was utterly devoted to you and would do anything for you, even give her life?

Shen Wan cleared her throat. “Miss Bai is here. Don’t be so pessimistic. She still seems to be breathing.”

Hearing Shen Wan’s words, Meng Xuan came to his senses and quickly carried Yue Han to Bai Weiwei. “Madam Bai, please save Yue Han. I’ll agree to any conditions.”

Bai Weiwei reached out to take Yue Han’s pulse. As she released her wrist, Meng Xuan anxiously asked, “Madam Bai, can Yue Han be saved?”

“Yes.”

“Madam Bai, I’ll agree to any demands. Please save Yue Han.”

Bai Weiwei glanced at Meng Xuan and smiled. “Let’s stick to the usual terms. I only accept silver and medicinal herbs for saving lives. Yue Han already had poison in her body, and now she’s taken a palm strike from Yang Yanqing. She should have died.”

“Madam Bai, how much silver do you need? Just name it. I’ll definitely pay in full as soon as possible.” Meng Xuan watched anxiously as Yue Han’s breathing grew weaker.

“Fifty thousand taels of gold. It’s expensive, but buying a life is always worth it, isn’t it?” Bai Weiwei’s eyes curved in a smile. “Considering your reputation, you can write an IOU. You should know that it’s very easy for my vast Water Cloud Palace to get any information, so don’t think about running away.”

She wondered why the little girl beside her seemed to dislike Meng Xuan and the others. Bai Weiwei thought to herself, since there was this opportunity, she might as well fleece Meng Xuan properly. Fifty thousand taels of gold was no small sum. Given Meng Xuan’s current destitute state, who knew how many years it would take him to pay it off.

And that somewhat spoiled Meng Shan, whose questioning attitude towards Shen Wan earlier, with hints of hostility, had displeased her. Even Meng Xuan’s gaze towards Shen Wan had seemed a bit off. She was unhappy about all this. At the very beginning, Yue Han had even planned to kill Shen Wan for Meng Xuan’s sake. Just thinking about it made her mood sour.

Obviously, both Meng Shan and Yue Han had feelings for Meng Xuan. If Yue Han died, wouldn’t Meng Shan get her way? It was better for her to live. Meng Shan’s personality made her want to monopolize Meng Xuan’s affection. Now with Yue Han willing to die for Meng Xuan, these three would surely have a very happy life together in the future.

She wasn’t intentionally tormenting them. It was just that Yue Han’s condition really required this treatment.

“I agree,” Meng Xuan said without hesitation. Although he had initially used Yue Han, when someone is willing to sacrifice their life for you and give everything, even a heart of stone would soften. He recalled everything Yue Han had done for him, her tolerance towards Meng Shan, and felt even more guilty.

Bai Weiwei fed Yue Han a pill, then said, “I just gave Yue Han an antidote pill, but the poison has spread deeply, already throughout her organs. Fortunately, her inner strength is profound, which has been suppressing the poison. However, now that she’s injured and her inner strength is depleted, she’ll still die without timely treatment. I’ll give you a bottle of antidote pills and tell you what to do next.”

Bai Weiwei took out a bottle of antidote pills and gave it to Meng Xuan. “Give her one pill every three days. This bottle will last a month. After a month, you can get more from the shops under my Water Cloud Palace.”

“Thank you, Madam Bai,” Meng Xuan said, feeling relieved. “What should I do next?”

“You’ve asked the key question. Just feeding Yue Han antidote pills isn’t enough. The most crucial part is what you need to do.”

Bai Weiwei lowered her voice further. “From now on, you need to transfer inner strength to Yue Han every three days to help expel the poison from her body.” She coughed lightly and continued, “This transfer of inner strength needs to be done in specific circumstances.” Then she took out a booklet. “Take this and read it yourself. Follow the actions described to transfer inner strength. Remember, once every three days without fail, or else even I won’t be able to cure her poison.”

Meng Xuan took the booklet, glanced at it, and quickly closed it.

“Madam Bai, did you give me the wrong thing?”

“No mistake. Just follow those actions and you’ll be fine. You should know that during the harmonization of yin and yang, transferring inner strength to expel poison is most effective. This method is also called dual cultivation. Yue Han has feelings for you. You two just need to marry, and there won’t be any troubles.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Meng Shan, who stood to the side, too shocked to speak. Before Meng Shan could react, Bai Weiwei turned and left the crowd, pulling Shen Wan along.

“Madam Bai, is there really no other way?” It was Meng Shan’s voice.

Bai Weiwei nodded seriously. “There’s no other way. If there was, I would have used it already.”

This was true. Dual cultivation to transfer inner strength and expel poison was indeed very effective. Yue Han currently couldn’t use her inner strength, and the poison had invaded her organs. Being able to save her life was already a stroke of great fortune.

“Miss Bai, what was in that booklet you gave them?” Shen Wan asked curiously. Inwardly, she was laughing hysterically. This Bai Weiwei looked so serious, yet she was hiding such things.

Bai Weiwei coughed lightly. “A method of cultivating inner strength.”

“Miss Bai, do you think it’s suitable for me to practice inner strength now? Is that method suitable for me?”

Bai Weiwei was startled for a moment, then quickly shook her head. “It’s not suitable for you. You’re not fit for that.”

“Then is there no way for me to cultivate inner strength?”

“Let’s return to Water Cloud Palace first. I’ll help you choose a method to cultivate inner strength. Now that you’ve joined my Water Cloud Palace, although you have physical strength, you still need to learn inner strength and techniques.”

“My father never taught me these things. I have no foundation at all…”

Hearing this, Shen Shao quickly caught up and began to say, “Wan Wan, if you…” But before he could finish, Shen Wan interrupted him. “Miss Bai, not only is your medical skill impressive, but your martial arts are also superb. So if I have any questions, can I ask you?”

“Of course you can. Since you’re now part of my Water Cloud Palace, I’ll certainly train you personally. You can come to me with any questions.”

“That’s wonderful. My father never taught me these things, probably thinking it was too much trouble. Fortunately, I met you, Miss Bai.”

Shen Shao tried several times to tell Shen Wan that if she wanted to learn, he could teach her now. He had originally planned to live in seclusion, which was why he hadn’t taught her. Now that she had joined the Water Cloud Palace, she should definitely practice to avoid being bullied.

But his daughter seemed to have deep misunderstandings about him.

What should he do?
