Competing with the Male Lead for the Female Lead (Transmigration) - Chapter 32

Sometimes Lan Feier acted with even more decisiveness than Wen Wuning, because she didn’t have as many concerns.

Wen Wuning, however, had to consider Lan Feier’s safety, always hoping to avoid direct conflict and send Lan Feier out first.

But both of them were already exhausted, and it was really not suitable to continue to wear each other down. The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would become.

Having thought it through, Wen Wuning raised her head to look at the woman who had appeared in the wind. Supporting herself on the tree trunk, she stood up, and with a backhand, the green sword flashed with a chilling sword light.

“So be it.”

This was the first time Lan Feier had seen this woman’s true appearance.

Seeing her real face, Lan Feier couldn’t help but click her tongue. It was truly indescribable.

That red and white face was beautiful and bewitching, but her figure was even taller than a man’s. It was truly strange.

Her features were delicate, but her body was withered. The soft silk clothes hung loosely on her, swaying in the wind, ghostly and eerie.

Due to anger, her only passable face twisted, and the two lines of bl00d tears on her face were even more terrifying.

Her fellow villager was truly prescient. A night of passion with this woman couldn’t be considered a romantic encounter. It would be good enough if it didn’t leave a psychological scar. Thinking of this, Lan Feier couldn’t help but glance at Wen Wuning.

Wen Wuning’s lips were pale, clearly from excessive bl00d loss. After the bleeding had stopped, she shouldn’t have moved around randomly, but now they had no choice.

This woman had entangled Wen Wuning for so many days, but Wen Wuning acted as if nothing had happened every day. Her mental fortitude was truly remarkable.

At this critical moment, Lan Feier’s mind was still full of irrelevant things.

“Guest, servant won’t hurt her.” The woman’s twisted face gradually returned to a peaceful appearance, and the demonic wind in the forest also weakened.

The two did not relax their vigilance.

The woman slowly walked towards Wen Wuning, her steps swaying as if she would fall at any moment. A mournful voice came with the wind: “Then, guest, take servant back, okay?”

Lan Feier didn’t understand what drama she was playing, but seeing a hint of wavering in Wen Wuning’s eyes, Lan Feier’s heart tightened, understanding that she was deliberately feigning weakness to gain sympathy.

Compared to this woman’s cunning, she was even angrier at Wen Wuning’s soft-heartedness, regardless of the situation!

Actually, Lan Feier had misunderstood. Wen Wuning had only realized that the woman wasn’t acting but was genuinely weak.

She probably couldn’t stray too far from that mansion unless she could find a physical body.

Just as Lan Feier was about to explode, the scene before her suddenly blurred. Wen Wuning flew her several zhang (ancient unit of length) away, while the woman moved like a ghost to their previous location.

“Servant doesn’t want to go back to that place, all alone.”

The woman looked up at them, her shoulders drooping, and bl00d tears fell again. Her red lips parted. “Guest was gentle with servant before, not like this.”

These words were so ambiguous, as if there was some illicit affair. Was Wen Wuning’s taste too heavy?

Ignoring Lan Feier’s strange probing gaze, Wen Wuning said coldly, “Go back if you want to. Why entangle me?”

Lan Feier raised an eyebrow, feeling pleased in her heart.

Previously, the woman had only been entangling them, so although Wen Wuning was impatient, she never showed any killing intent. Now that the woman wanted to trap Lan Feier and seize her body, with the intention to harm, Wen Wuning couldn’t tolerate it.

“Otherwise, I will kill you.”

A cold voice came from the side. Lan Feier turned her head and saw Wen Wuning’s cold and ruthless eyes. She was slightly stunned.

“Protect yourself.” Wen Wuning walked forward, holding her sword.

“Indeed, among all things, humans are the most heartless!”

Lan Feier was still dazed when she suddenly heard the woman’s strange and shrill scream.

The surrounding scenery instantly turned into nothingness. A fierce wind suddenly poured in from all directions. Lan Feier quickly steadied herself, her eyes almost unable to open due to the wind.

“Bullshit!” Grabbing Wen Wuning’s hand that was shielding her from the wind, Lan Feier forced her eyes open, raised her neck, and gave a disdainful smile to the woman opposite, who looked like she was about to unleash a big move. She mocked loudly, “You’re just being self-pitying! You were never affectionate towards you, so how can you talk about being heartless? It’s laughable.”

“Ah—shut up!” The woman was completely enraged. The fierce wind stirred up a thick fog, and countless vines crawled out from under her empty robes, shooting towards the two like arrows.

The two flew up to dodge, but were scattered by the fierce wind in the air. Lan Feier suddenly felt a tightening around her ankle. Realizing something was wrong but not having time to react, her body flew uncontrollably towards the woman. The speed was so fast that she couldn’t react at all. In a flash, she seemed to hear a sharp whistling sound fly past her ear.

With a scream, Lan Feier landed heavily. She looked up and saw the green sword piercing the woman’s right shoulder, but not a drop of bl00d flowed out.

“I’m going to eat you!” the woman yelled angrily, her red lips tearing open, revealing a mouth full of fine teeth.

Lan Feier felt a chill in her heart. She quickly crawled up to cut the vines entangling her ankle, but before she could stand up, she was dragged down again. She flipped over and forcefully drove her sword into the ground with both hands. The sword blade screeched across the ground, carving a deep line.

“Clang!”

Her hands shook violently, and Lan Feier closed her eyes tightly.

The sword hit a rock and broke.

Lan Feier was thrown into the air. Just as she was about to fall into that disgusting mouth, a figure flashed past.

An arm wrapped firmly around her waist. Lan Feier looked up and saw the person who had saved her, her long hair flying, her face full of sternness.

She had seen her cold and aloof appearance, her quiet and beautiful appearance, her fragile appearance, her gentle appearance, and her embarrassed and angry appearance.

Every appearance was beautiful, but none were as breathtaking as this one.

Indeed, admiring the strong was human nature.

Although injured and still holding Lan Feier, Wen Wuning’s figure was also very agile. She perfectly avoided the swinging vines but suddenly turned directly towards the almost shapeless woman.

The closer they got, the denser the vines swung, airtight. Just as the overwhelming vines were about to engulf them, Wen Wuning pulled out the green sword stuck in the woman’s shoulder and, amidst the woman’s scream, chopped off her head.

Lan Feier only heard the woman’s scream. When she looked back, her head had already flown off somewhere unknown. The surrounding vines slightly dispersed. At this moment, the demonic power was weakest. Wen Wuning seized the opportunity and slashed horizontally with her sword, and the exit tore open in the air.

Just as Lan Feier was rejoicing, the arm around her waist forcefully threw her out. As she passed Wen Wuning, her face was astonished. She subconsciously grabbed out, her fingertips brushing against a warm object. She didn’t know what it was, because as they passed, Wen Wuning had already been enveloped in a ball by the suddenly restored vines.

*Hwoosh!* The green sword suddenly flew out of the ball, flew past Lan Feier’s cheek, and plunged into the rapidly closing exit behind her, widening the exit again.

Falling out with Lan Feier was also a ball of red light. The red light closely followed the green sword, but unexpectedly, the green sword suddenly turned 360 degrees in the air and flew back towards the almost completely closed crack. The red light followed behind it but missed, and the crack disappeared the moment the green sword passed through.

Losing the green sword’s aura, the red light flew around frantically.

As soon as Lan Feier landed, she hugged her head and curled up into a ball to avoid being injured by the red light.

The red light had protected Wen Wuning twice. In Lan Feier’s eyes, the red light was Wen Wuning’s protective treasure. This time, even the protective treasure had escaped!

Wouldn’t Wen Wuning be doomed this time?

Lan Feier poked her head out like a hamster, sizing up her surroundings. Familiar forest, familiar fire, familiar horses. In just a short day, she had seen this scene three times.

She just didn’t know if this time it was reality or an illusion.

Lan Feier dodged the red light and felt her way to the horse. After climbing onto the horse, she tightened the reins and whipped it, galloping towards the town.

Whether it was real or an illusion, she would know once she returned to the town.

The person on the horse suddenly leaned forward sharply. She saw the red light fly straight over her head. Lan Feier thought the red light was going to attack her, but it flew towards the town.

If she hadn’t reacted quickly, her head would have been shaved off.

Lan Feier’s face was ugly. She spurred her horse to chase after it.
