Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Bai Weiwei and Shen Wan returned to the Water Cloud Palace, continuing to discuss strategies for its future. In the meantime, Bai Weiwei carefully selected an internal energy cultivation method for Shen Wan, finally finding one most suitable for her.

Thus, besides discussing the future of the Water Cloud Palace, Shen Wan often hugged a manual on internal energy cultivation, moving to Bai Weiwei’s side to ask her how to practice.

Shen Shao returned to his original residence in Crow Village, resuming his life as a recluse pretending to be an ordinary person.

Then he noticed something strange: the villagers of Crow Village left en masse during the day, only returning at sunset.

When he inquired, he learned that these people were going to the Water Cloud Palace during the day to help build the palace. Shen Shao knew the Water Cloud Palace was expanding and that its original location was on the mountaintop next to Crow Village. However, the lower areas were protected by complex formations, and no one had been known to break in for many years.

Although Shen Shao was curious about what the Water Cloud Palace was like, he wasn’t in a hurry to go see. His little girl was now a member of the Water Cloud Palace, so he’d have a chance to visit in the future. Right now, he should prepare some dowry for his daughter. By the time the Water Cloud Palace’s expansion was complete, his daughter would be of age, and it would be time to find her a good match.

While accumulating the dowry, he needed to observe and find suitable candidates. He no longer wanted to consider people from the jianghu or young men from sects. He’d find an honest young man and bring him in as a son-in-law.

Bai Weiwei and Shen Wan were living contentedly in the Water Cloud Palace, unaware that Shen Shao was looking for a future husband for Shen Wan.

In the martial arts world, after killing Yang Yanqing, Yue Han was seriously injured saving Meng Xuan. With Bai Weiwei’s help in treatment, he took Yue Han and Meng Shan away.

Although Shen Wan remained in the Water Cloud Palace, now that it had officially emerged, news from the jianghu was delivered daily without fail.

It was said that after leaving, Meng Xuan chose to marry Yue Han the very next day to save her, becoming an official couple to help transfer inner energy and expel the poison. Meng Shan was naturally unwilling, but with Yue Han’s life hanging by a thread, even if she made a fuss, Meng Xuan’s attitude was very firm this time, unlike before when he always yielded to her.

Meng Shan, feeling indignant, wanted to threaten Meng Xuan by running away from home as she had done before, making him worry about her and abandon the idea of marrying Yue Han. She even suggested to Meng Xuan that since Yue Han was so beautiful, surely there would be martial artists with profound inner energy willing to marry her and help transfer inner energy to expel the poison.

As soon as she said this, she received a slap from Meng Xuan, who told her she was being thoughtless.

Meng Shan was furious and quickly packed her bags to leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out the door, she was caught by Meng Xuan, who directly sealed her acupoints and carried her back.

“Han’er’s consideration is indeed thorough, knowing that Shan’er would run away in anger,” Meng Xuan said, placing Meng Shan aside and walking over to hold Yue Han’s hand. Ever since Yue Han risked her life to block that fatal strike for him, seeing her lying barely alive in his arms made him recall how much Yue Han had helped and sacrificed for him over the years.

At that time, watching Yue Han’s life hanging by a thread, his heart felt empty. Now that his great revenge was accomplished and Yue Han wouldn’t die, he naturally wanted to take good care of her. Perhaps the brush with death had made Meng Xuan realize that he couldn’t lose this woman who wholeheartedly cared for him.

“I understand Shan’er’s temperament to some extent. I don’t want her temporary willfulness to cause unfavorable consequences and create trouble for Brother Xuan,” Yue Han said, her cold face bearing a slight smile. “Why not temporarily seal her inner strength and martial arts, and keep her in the room so she can’t leave? The jianghu is dangerous now. With Shan’er’s limited skills, if she goes out, she’s likely to be bullied.”

“Han’er’s thoughts are indeed thorough.”

Meng Xuan felt this suggestion was flawless and perfect. Given Meng Shan’s personality, rushing out would likely lead to trouble. Sealing her inner strength and martial arts was indeed a good solution.

Meng Shan sat to the side, unable to move, glaring as she watched Meng Xuan and Yue Han discuss how to deal with her, nearly spitting blood in anger.

She realized her Senior Brother had changed. He wasn’t like this before.

When Shen Wan heard this news, her expression became incredibly strange. “How did that ice-cold woman Yue Han learn to be so adaptable? Wasn’t she always at a disadvantage against Meng Shan before?”

“That’s unclear, but according to recent news, it’s Meng Shan who’s been at a disadvantage against Yue Han, suffering silently in various ways. Meng Shan’s tantrums are only making Meng Xuan more and more disgusted,” Bai Weiwei said indifferently. “Although this doesn’t concern us, Yue Han’s behavior is indeed somewhat unusual.”

“So Yue Han now has Meng Xuan wrapped around her finger. The news coming in all says that Meng Xuan listens to almost everything Yue Han says.”

“That’s right. With Meng Shan now lacking inner strength and unable to use martial arts, isn’t she utterly frustrated?” Bai Weiwei had noticed some anomalies, but she didn’t care about what happened to Yue Han, Meng Xuan, and the others. If Shen Wan hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have discussed the matter.

At this time, the jianghu had still not calmed down. The martial arts world had originally thought that after killing Yang Yanqing, they could go to the Returning to Void Sect to find those treasures. They did go to the Returning to Void Sect and even divided up its power, but they didn’t find the treasures.

Although jointly swallowing the Returning to Void Sect brought them considerable benefits, it was nothing compared to the treasures hidden who knows where.

They interrogated many people from the Returning to Void Sect but couldn’t extract the whereabouts of the treasure. They later went to find Meng Xuan, but seeing his current living conditions, they couldn’t bring themselves to interrogate him. After tactfully inquiring, they learned that Meng Xuan naturally didn’t know. The key was, he didn’t even know who had taken the treasure.

Now he was destitute and owed a huge debt to Bai Weiwei, so he wasn’t afraid of the martial arts world monitoring him. The various sects monitored him for a while, found that Meng Xuan truly didn’t know anything, and left reluctantly.

Later, they went to find Shen Shao, only to discover that he had secluded himself in a very backward small village, carrying water himself every day. They left with indescribable expressions.

They had suspected everyone they could suspect, interrogated everyone they could interrogate, and searched every place they could search. But there was still no trace of the hidden treasure, which greatly angered the various sects of the martial arts world. They cursed Yang Yanqing’s mother countless times in their hearts. However, the man was already dead, and they had no one to question.

Even so, they didn’t give up searching for the treasure.

Fu Yunkui, following Shen Wan’s advice, found that pretending to be ill and hiding in the Wuji Palace was indeed effective. Now the entire martial arts world was condemning hypocrites like Yang Yanqing, while seemingly forgetting about Fu Yunkui. Having tasted the benefits of feigning illness and keeping a low profile, Fu Yunkui decided to maintain the act, rarely exposing his identity in front of the martial arts world.

After a few years, when he came down from the mountain again, he found that the martial arts world rarely mentioned the Wuji Palace and seemed to have forgotten about Fu Yunkui as well.

In three or four years, new sects emerged in the martial arts world, including some high-profile demonic sects. The righteous sects seemed to never escape the situation of crusading against what they considered demonic sects.

“Uncle Shen, have you come up to find Wan Wan?” At the entrance of the Water Cloud Palace, Bai Weiwei stopped Shen Shao. She slightly raised her eyes, sweeping her gaze over the row of young men standing behind Shen Shao. “Are these people also selected for Wan Wan?”

Shen Shao nodded seriously and sighed, “Yes, over these years, I’ve been bringing up a few talented youths every ten days or so. But that girl Wan Wan doesn’t like any of them, which has been worrying me to death.

Madam Bai, why don’t you try to persuade her? If we keep delaying like this, the girl will get too old. If I can’t find her a good husband, I’ll really be failing my late wife.”

Bai Weiwei pursed her lips slightly, frowning as she stared at those young men. “Uncle Shen, now that the Water Cloud Palace has been built, and Wan Wan’s status is only slightly lower than mine as the Palace Master, I think these people you’ve found are not worthy of her. You’d better take them away.”

“But she hasn’t even seen them yet. At least let the girl take a look. If she doesn’t like them, then we can send them away,” Shen Shao said, unwilling to give up. His daughter was so beautiful, it wasn’t that there were no suitors, but that she didn’t like any of them.

He was also very troubled. He had been trying for three or four years, bringing people of all backgrounds, but she just didn’t like any of them. He really didn’t know where the problem lay.

Bai Weiwei’s eyes fixed on those young men, her gaze turning slightly cold. With a wave of her hand, she activated the complex formations outside the Water Cloud Palace and said, “Since we’re selecting a husband for an important member of my Water Cloud Palace, whoever among you can break through these formations and enter the Water Cloud Palace, I’ll give you a chance to meet Wan Wan. Uncle Shen, what do you think of this? Marriage is a very important matter and can’t be taken lightly. If these people can’t break through, it means they have no fate with Wan Wan and are not qualified to be her husband.”

Shen Shao looked at the misty formations before him, not knowing what strange things lay inside, and didn’t know what to say.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “Madam Bai, this seems too difficult. I once tried to break through the Water Cloud Palace’s formations years ago. Even with my skills, which were among the best in the jianghu at the time, I couldn’t enter. How could these young men manage it?”

“If that’s the case, I’m afraid Wan Wan won’t be able to find a husband in this lifetime.”

Bai Weiwei laughed, “Compared to casually choosing a husband, carefully selecting one is best for Wan Wan.”

“Madam Bai, your conditions are too harsh. With such a barrier, why don’t you help choose a marriage for Wan Wan instead?” Shen Shao said helplessly. That naughty girl had refused to talk to him for a long time because he often brought young men up for her to choose from.

Hearing this, Bai Weiwei laughed, “Uncle Shen, do you mean you want me to be responsible for Wan Wan’s lifelong happiness?”

“Of course.” Shen Shao had no choice. The people he selected didn’t satisfy Shen Wan or Bai Weiwei. He might as well hand over this difficult task to Bai Weiwei and let her see how hard it was to choose someone. He had long prepared the dowry for his daughter; now they just needed to find someone to marry.

The corners of Bai Weiwei’s lips curved upward. “Alright, Uncle Shen, rest assured. Within a month, I’ll definitely have Wan Wan married into a good family. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

Shen Shao was stunned for a moment, but seeing Bai Weiwei’s serious expression, he believed her. He waved to the young men behind him and led them away.

A few days later, Bai Weiwei found Shen Wan practicing her inner energy and sat down beside her. “Now that our Water Cloud Palace has been built, it’s time for me to fulfill my promise to you and give you a position only slightly inferior to mine as the Palace Master.”

Hearing this, Shen Wan perked up. “Little Bai, you’ve finally remembered! It’s been over four years, I was almost withering away waiting.”

Little Bai?

Hearing this name, Bai Weiwei was somewhat speechless. She didn’t know when Shen Wan had started calling her “Little Bai” instead of “Miss Bai.” Who in the jianghu would dare to call her Little Bai? But hearing Shen Wan call her Little Bai, she actually felt a bit happy. This unique nickname could only be used by Shen Wan.

“When will you confer this special position on me?”

Bai Weiwei glanced at the small hand holding her arm, then looked at Shen Wan’s clear eyes, which seemed excited. She laughed. Really, she was even more eager than herself. Over these years, she had carefully confirmed that Shen Wan felt the same way she did, which was why she dared to do this.

She held Shen Wan’s hand, her expression becoming more serious. “In a few days, I’ll invite some friends to the Water Cloud Palace. Although we’ve recruited many people over these years, it’s still not enough. We’ll choose an auspicious day to announce that the Water Cloud Palace will recruit disciples externally, and at the same time, I’ll announce your special position. How does that sound?”

“That sounds great.”

“Uncle Shen came again just now, but I sent him away. Moreover, he agreed to let me be responsible for your future marriage. I promised him that within a month, I would definitely arrange a good marriage for you.”

Shen Wan: She was a bit excited about getting married soon.

On the day the Water Cloud Palace decided to recruit disciples externally, she indeed invited some influential figures from the jianghu to attend. Even Fu Yunkui, who hadn’t appeared in public for a long time, came. Meng Xuan brought Yue Han and Meng Shan as well.

Meng Shan stood behind the two, and although her expression wasn’t pleasant, for some reason, she behaved very obediently.

There was a hint of a smile in Yue Han’s eyes as she glanced at Meng Shan’s position. She had heard that today was a very important day for the Water Cloud Palace, and Madam Bai had invited many people.

Everything happening here was different from what she had experienced before.

Shen Shao hadn’t died, Yang Yanqing had died miserably, Shen Wan had no interaction with Meng Xuan but instead became a member of the Water Cloud Palace, highly favored by the mysterious Palace Master Bai Weiwei. Everything was different from what she had experienced before.

In the world she had experienced, she had died, also for Meng Xuan’s sake. After her death, she hadn’t disappeared but had watched Meng Xuan and Shen Wan’s lifelong entanglement, with Meng Shan being the cause of their conflicts and contradictions. Thinking of her previous death, wasn’t it indirectly caused by Meng Shan?

How many people had Meng Shan’s willfulness harmed?

And Meng Xuan had forgotten her so quickly. When that world ended and she opened her eyes again, she found herself back. She had wanted to do something, only to discover that this world’s experiences were all different.

Meng Xuan wanted to marry her to help expel the poison. Having experienced so much before, she discovered that quietly staying by someone’s side and giving everything seemed useless. She had learned a lot from Meng Shan, so she decided to put it into practice.

Sure enough, Meng Xuan treated her better and better, while Meng Shan suffered due to her little tricks. She didn’t plan to kill Meng Shan. In that world, Meng Shan had been too smug and comfortable. She wanted to try irritating Meng Shan for a lifetime and see if it would drive her mad.

When Bai Weiwei invited Meng Xuan to the Water Cloud Palace, she didn’t hesitate to come along. She suspected that the one who changed everything was either Shen Wan or Bai Weiwei.

Shen Shao originally stood calmly to the side, curious to see what special position Bai Weiwei would give his naughty daughter.

At the same time, he felt that the Water Cloud Palace seemed a bit too festively decorated today.

When he saw Bai Weiwei and Shen Wan walk out together in red wedding attire, holding hands and dressed as brides, he was stunned.

What… what was this? Shen Shao stared wide-eyed at the two women who looked extremely close. If one of them wasn’t his daughter, he wouldn’t have cared at all.

“Thank you all for coming to my Water Cloud Palace. Today, I have two announcements to make. First, the Water Cloud Palace will soon begin recruiting disciples externally. Second,” she looked at Shen Wan beside her and said, “I am getting married. This young lady named Shen Wan is my bride, Bai Weiwei’s bride.”

The martial artists: “…” What did they just hear?

Yue Han: Unexpected. The one who changed everything must be Bai Weiwei, right? Only she would have such capability.

Fu Yunkui rubbed his nose, his eyes showing realization. No wonder Bai Weiwei didn’t like him spending time with Shen Wan. Every time he came to find Shen Wan, he couldn’t take her out to play. So this was why. This Bai Weiwei had hidden it well.

Shen Shao: He didn’t want to speak now.

Bai Weiwei led Shen Wan to stand before Shen Shao and called out, “Father, are you satisfied with this marriage?”

Shen Shao: Could he say he wasn’t satisfied?

“Wan Wan, are you satisfied with the position of Palace Master’s wife?”

Shen Wan nodded quickly, smiling like a sunflower. “Satisfied, very satisfied, extremely satisfied.”

Shen Shao was helped to sit in the high seat, watching Shen Wan being led by Bai Weiwei to bow in the wedding ceremony, her face full of smiles. He couldn’t say a word, his expression caught between laughter and tears.

This was indeed a good marriage.

Looking at his naughty daughter again, it was clear she had been in league with Bai Weiwei, deceiving him all along.

No wonder, no wonder Bai Weiwei rejected those young men even faster than his naughty daughter. She had been coveting his daughter all along.

He had miscalculated.
