A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A (GL) - Chapter 5

Just as Li Yingxue was about to break free from the annoying Alpha, she suddenly noticed her undamaged palm and was stunned.

If she remembered correctly, she had been holding a fruit knife at the time, and the sharp blade cutting through her skin was still fresh in her memory.

But now, there were no wounds on either of her hands.

What was going on?

Li Yingxue frowned with a hint of doubt and looked at the woman in front of her. Did this person have the ability to heal dead flesh?

She quickly dismissed this absurd guess.

How could that be possible? Even modern medicine couldn’t do that.

So she must have been mistaken.

“I’ve had people deal with the simulated ecological room, there won’t be any more snakes in the house, you… can rest assured.”

What Fu Man said was actually a bit of a lie, because there were still two live snakes in the house, standing right in front of Li Yingxue.

A ringtone rang.

Li Yingxue’s phone rang, and Fu Man had to let go of her wrist so she could answer the call.

She waited on the side.

Li Yingxue glanced at her, picked up her phone, and when she saw the caller ID, her eyes turned colder as she looked at Fu Man.

Fu Man thought she was annoyed that she was too close to her, and when she heard her talking to someone else, she walked a few steps further and sat down on a reclining chair, resting her chin on the back of her hand and quietly watching her fiancee.

Li Yingxue glanced at her and turned her head slightly, answering the call.

Fu Man didn’t know who was calling her, but she heard Li Yingxue sneer and reply to the other person with a “no”.

Soon, she hung up the phone, Li Yingxue turned around, her red lips still cold, “You said you wanted me to help you with something?”

“Stay here.”

“Okay.”

“Huh?”

Fu Man couldn’t believe it. A moment ago, Li Yingxue had rejected her, and now she suddenly agreed?

“But there are conditions.” Li Yingxue changed her tone, her eyes becoming a bit sharp.

“What conditions?”

As long as Li Yingxue could come back, she, Fu Man, could temporarily yield. When the hot spring underground palace was built—

“Three rules. First, during our cohabitation, you are not allowed to mark me without my consent.”

Fu Man’s face changed, “Are you saying I have bad intentions towards you?”

Li Yingxue continued expressionlessly, “Second, no snakes are allowed in the house during cohabitation.”

“Third, you must wear clothes in the room during cohabitation.”

“Fourth, the room must be kept clean during cohabitation.”

“Fifth, our engagement relationship cannot be disclosed to the outside world.”

“Sixth, during cohabitation, you are not allowed to bring any random people back.”

“Seventh, when we go to each other’s parents’ house, we must play our respective roles and respect each other.”

“Lastly, you have to behave well in front of my grandmother.”

When she said the last point, Li Yingxue’s eyes flashed.

Fu Man looked at Li Yingxue’s expression several times and found that she wasn’t joking. Fu Man frowned even tighter.

These eight agreements seemed to be aimed at her, but it didn’t seem like it, anyway, it gave her a strange feeling: she was being repeatedly humiliated.

“…….”

Li Yingxue turned her head slightly, her hand holding the phone, “Give me an answer.”

Seeing that Li Yingxue was about to leave again, Fu Man said, “Okay, I agree.”

Half an hour later, the two signed an agreement.

Fu Man held her copy of the agreement with a complicated expression, “Can you call my dad now?”

The construction team for the hot spring cave was waiting to come back.

Li Yingxue slowly put it away, “To verify your sincerity, I want to see your performance on the last two conditions.”

Fu Man unfolded the agreement she had just rolled up and looked at those two clauses.

Oh, she had to play her role well in front of her parents and be nice to her grandmother.

Ten minutes later, Fu Man was sitting in the passenger seat of Li Yingxue’s car, heading towards the Li family.

Passing by a shopping mall, Li Yingxue took her into the mall and bought a few gift boxes. When they came out, Fu Man was carrying five or six gift bags in her hands.

“……..”

Then Li Yingxue continued to drive her forward.

When they arrived at the Li family, Fu Man was even a little dazed and passively followed Li Yingxue.

Li Yingxue looked at the gate, turned around and looked at the woman carrying the gifts, her red lips slightly parted, “Remember, be nice to my grandmother.”

Fu Man paused, “Don’t worry.”

She was already here.

Li Yingxue’s parents, one was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, with a refined and elegant appearance.

The other was a wealthy and slightly overweight matron dressed in gold and silver, who usually had a snobbish and mercenary look on her face.

But now, seeing their daughter’s fiancee coming to visit, they put on a kind and friendly face and came forward to greet her.

Turning around, Mrs. Li scolded the maid in the house, “Why don’t you hurry up and pour a cup of tea? You don’t have any eyesight at all. I think you don’t want to work here anymore!”

The maid nodded repeatedly, going down to pour tea in a timid manner.

Mr. Li glanced at his daughter, as if silently reminding her not to forget something, and then nodded to Fu Man, “Sit down, Ms. Fu. It’s really an honor for you to come here today.”

Fu Man glanced at Li Yingxue standing beside her and found that she was looking around.

“I just happened to have some free time today, so I brought these little gifts for you.”

As she spoke, Fu Man handed them over and looked around, “Is Grandma not here?”

Mr. Li glanced sharply at Li Yingxue, then smiled and said, “Your grandmother is not in good health and doesn’t like to see guests. You’re not bothering her, are you?”

Mrs. Li followed, “Yes, your grandmother is not in good health and usually stays indoors. She doesn’t like crowds. Aren’t you bothering her old lady?”

Fu Man didn’t notice, “It’s okay, we can go in and visit her.”

Seeing Mr. Li and Mrs. Li looking at each other for a long time, Fu Man couldn’t help but look at Li Yingxue, “What’s wrong?”

Li Yingxue lightly placed her hand on Fu Man’s shoulder, her gaze fixed on Li Huarong and her mother, “This is the first time Fu Man has come over, and she hasn’t even seen the elders. If Mr. Fu finds out, he might say that our Li family is not giving face, don’t you think so, Mom and Dad?”

Fu Man glanced at the white onion-like fingertip resting on her shoulder.

Li Huarong forced a smile, turned around with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice, “I’ll go ask the old lady.”

Mrs. Li rubbed the back of her hand and looked at them.

The large living room seemed a little quiet. Fu Man got up and walked around the living room, and soon heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling over the thick wooden floor in the long corridor.

The three people in the living room turned around at the same time. Fu Man noticed that Li Yingxue had taken two steps forward, seeming a little excited, but when she looked at her face, it was that same cold expression, as if she hadn’t taken those two steps.

Fu Man thought she was mistaken and walked forward to an elderly woman in a wheelchair.

“Is this Grandma?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Man saw Li Yingxue half-squatting in front of her grandmother, her hands caressing her grandmother’s wrinkled hands.

“Grandma, I’m Yingxue.”

She introduced herself softly, as if they hadn’t seen each other in years.

A strange feeling swept through Fu Man.

Grandma remembered her and took a moment to say, “It’s Yingxue…”

Li Yingxue nodded slowly, “Mm.”

Mrs. Li interjected, “Yingxue is engaged now. Her fiancee is Fu Man, the only daughter of the Fu family. This is her.”

Fu Man met the grandmother’s gaze and nodded slightly, “Grandma, I’m Fu Man, Li Yingxue’s fiancee.”

After saying that, Fu Man remembered what Li Yingxue had said about being nice to her grandmother, so she turned around and took two of the bags, “These are gifts that I and… Yingxue picked out for Grandma.”

“Oh… you’ve spent too much… too much…”

Grandma looked very happy and glanced back and forth between Li Yingxue and Fu Man several times before smiling and patting Li Yingxue’s hand.

Li Yingxue placed her palm on her grandmother’s knee and asked, “Grandma, how are you feeling?”

As soon as these words fell, Li Huarong said, “It’s still the old problem, rheumatism, and she can’t be exposed to the wind outside.”

Li Yingxue stared intently at the old lady, but the grandmother lowered her eyes and didn’t speak, as if she hadn’t heard.

Li Huarong said, “Now that you’ve met your granddaughter, I’ll take your grandmother back to her room so she won’t get a headache from the wind at night.”

As he spoke, Li Huarong pushed the wheelchair and took his grandmother back to her room.

As Li Huarong turned around with the wheelchair, Li Yingxue subconsciously tightened her grip on her grandmother’s hand, trying to hold her back, but then, as if thinking of something, she had to let go and watched the wheelchair disappear down the corridor.

Before leaving, Mrs. Li called Li Yingxue into the study alone.

Mrs. Li extended her hand, her gaze cold and harsh, “Yingxue, you know what to do, right? What about this month’s?”

Li Yingxue placed a card on the table, “Here’s a million, there’s no more.”

Mrs. Li’s face changed immediately, “You said it was two million, what do you mean by giving me only one million?”

Li Yingxue said, “When did I say it was two million? You want two million all at once this month, isn’t it because you lost at gambling?”

Mrs. Li said, “Are you going to give it or not?”

Li Yingxue’s attitude became even stronger, she sneered coldly, “Just one million, if you don’t want it—”

Mrs. Li quickly grabbed the card and sneered, “So Fu Man has grown wings, huh? Don’t forget that your old, useless grandmother is still in our hands.”

Li Yingxue’s face suddenly turned as cold as frost, “If you dare to touch a single hair on Grandma, don’t blame me.”

Mrs. Li snorted coldly, raised her chin arrogantly, and didn’t care at all about her daughter’s threat, “We’ll see if I dare. A person with nothing to lose has nothing to fear!”

Li Yingxue clenched her fists, her lips pressed tightly together.

“Next month, I don’t have any money recently.”

She had secretly bought a property with a lot of their money recently, originally intending to take her grandmother to live there, but who would have thought…

Seeing that she couldn’t really get that much money, Mrs. Li frowned and directly raised the price, “Two million next month.”

Fu Man waited outside for a long time until she saw Li Yingxue come out expressionlessly. She followed her into the car.

As soon as the car started, Fu Man folded her arms, looked at the road ahead, and after a moment’s hesitation, hinted, “I did pretty well, right? About the phone call…”

Her hot spring cave construction team hadn’t been called back yet.

Her cultivation had been delayed again.

“What’s the rush?”

Li Yingxue retorted directly, “Didn’t you see I was driving?”

“…….”

Fine.

She would endure it.

Not long after returning home, Miss Li, as promised, called Mr. Fu.

Soon, the construction team for the hot spring cave returned.

A Ci, that girl, had actually signed her up for driving school.

“Your Highness, you should be more sensible. Learn to drive, and you can save some spiritual energy.”

A C didn’t cultivate enough, and she could only maintain her human form by relying on a little spiritual energy transferred by Fu Man. Perhaps it was because she didn’t forget the well that gave her water, she cherished this well of the Empress.

Every little bit saved helped.

I wonder how much more water this well of the Empress could produce.

Fu Man said, “We have a much more convenient and faster way. Why drive this ugly iron box?”

A C said, “But our spiritual energy is being lost.”

Fu Man still said the same thing, “When the hot spring underground palace is built, we can cultivate.”

Having been here for over a month, as a subordinate of the Empress, she had to provide her with the latest news, so A Ci’s acceptance speed of new things was very fast.

Although the Empress’s acceptance speed of new knowledge about the world was also quite fast, but this practical ability…

Perhaps this was a common problem of being a great queen.

If she could display her abilities with magic and spiritual energy, she would definitely not use the “driving skills” that everyone had on the streets.

Because it didn’t show her uniqueness.

“Your Highness, you should know that an adult, an Alpha, will be laughed at if they can’t drive.”

Fu Man poked her forehead, “Don’t try to fool me, I’m not a three-year-old child.”

Seeing her retract her slender finger wearing the snake ring and walk towards the hot spring cave, A Ci had to follow.

The construction team hired by Lord Fu was very elite, and the progress of the construction and expansion was greatly improved. The hot spring underground palace gradually took shape. The floor was paved with platinum marble, and several magnificent stone pillars were cast based on the original contour of the hot spring cave. Skilled craftsmen were invited to carve the shape of a spirit snake around the pillars.

Meanwhile, the professional construction team was expanding and beautifying the hot spring.

A few days later, Miss Li took on a variety show and said she would be filming with the crew for a week.

Fu Man suspected this was an excuse, “What kind of variety show takes that long to film?”

Li Yingxue didn’t seem eager to discuss her life with her, and only coldly uttered a few words, “A wilderness survival variety show.”

Hearing the words “wilderness survival,” Fu Man frowned. Wasn’t that like releasing her into the wild? How could a delicate flower like her return unscathed from nature?

What kind of crew was so cruel?

“Won’t it be dangerous?”

As soon as she said this, Li Yingxue looked at her for a moment, then looked away, not intending to answer her question.

Fu Man seemed accustomed to her not answering her, and walked around to the other side of the bed, lying down on the floor.

Li Yingxue watched her naturally sleep on the mat, her expression a little complex. Since Fu Man had carried her back that day, she had generously given her the bed, while Fu Man slept on the floor next to it.

At night, Li Yingxue opened her eyes in the darkness, turned to look at the other side of the bed, as if thinking about something, and then closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

As the night deepened, the scent of iris pheromones in the bedroom gradually filled the air.

Li Yingxue felt like she was in a furnace, burning her up.

Then, along with the pain of skin being flayed and flesh being torn, it spread throughout her body.

Her back, arms, waist, legs…

Every part was subjected to torture, a pain like having bones picked clean.

Suddenly, a slight sound of packaging being torn apart rang in her ears, and the pain of the whipping receded like a tide, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Only the heat that made her eyes red remained.

Li Yingxue opened her eyes abruptly and caught a glimpse of a figure standing by the bed. Without thinking, she raised her foot and kicked out.

However, instead of knocking the person down, her ankle was grabbed.

A confused voice came from the darkness, “What are you doing?”
