Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 148

Upon hearing Sheng Nuan’s words, Luo Lin’s gaze flickered slightly.

This ugly monster is also an evolver, though it’s still unclear what kind… But, she could lure a horde of aberrations and remain unscathed herself, even managing to wreck so many cars in just a few moments. Clearly, she has some serious tricks up her sleeve.

Seeing the ugly monster once again smiling smugly, as if showing off, Luo Lin pressed her lips together and showed a gentle admiring smile. “Sister is really amazing.”

He whispered, “Sister, you rescued me from there. I really don’t know how to thank you…”

Sheng Nuan subconsciously felt those words sounded oddly familiar.

Is the next line supposed to be about pledging himself to her?

But just then, Sheng Nuan accidentally caught a fleeting glimpse of coldness in the boy’s eyes and realized something.

Was Luo Lin… deliberately trying to seduce her?

Now, this is interesting. She’d been worried she wouldn’t be able to find an excuse to protect him, and here he is throwing it right in her lap… Come on, let’s play each other. Who’s afraid of whom?

The next moment, Sheng Nuan curved her lips into a smile. “Sister worked so hard to rescue you from the wolves’ den. How do you think you should thank me, hmm?”

Luo Lin pursed his lips, glancing at her without answering.

Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue. “Just say it, do you want to stick with me? As long as you follow me obediently… I won’t promise anything else, but at the very least, I can guarantee your safety.”

Luo Lin’s gaze flickered, showing a trace of hesitation and shyness. Softly, he asked, “Where is Sister planning to go?”

“Me? I’m heading north,” Sheng Nuan replied. “The Silver Wolf Corps is stationed up there, it might be a little safer.”

A gleam flashed in Luo Lin’s eyes, and in the next moment, he cast Sheng Nuan a light glance, his voice soft. “Wherever Sister goes, I’ll go.”

Sheng Nuan exhaled in relief… All set!

She chuckled warmly, “Don’t worry, I’m a reasonable person. I won’t force you into anything. Let’s just see how things go. If, after a few months, you really don’t like me, I won’t make you stay.”

Luo Lin’s eyelashes trembled slightly as he murmured, “Sister is really kind…”

Sheng Nuan burst into laughter. “That’s right, that’s right. Even though Sister is ugly, I’m very gentle.”

She secretly observed Luo Lin’s little act, finding it highly amusing…

Customer service couldn’t hold back any longer and grumbled: “Hehe, Gentle? Who was it that lured the aberrations to wipe everyone out? Who raided the armory? And who even stripped the wheels off others’ cars?”

Sheng Nuan was a bit puzzled: “Is it you, customer service, getting cocky… or am I unable to carry the knife anymore¹?”

The customer service shut up…

Sheng Nuan ignored the nagging and cowardly customer service.

After driving far from the bandit camp, a few vehicles up ahead came to a stop.

Luo Lin braked, and they saw people gathering around, their faces full of gratitude.

They were still holding the guns Sheng Nuan had just given them, tears welling up in their eyes one by one.

“Thank you, miss. Thank you so much for saving us…”

“We’re really grateful to you. We thought we were going to die there…”

Sheng Nuan smiled. “Keep the guns to protect yourselves. I hope everything goes smoothly for you all from now on.”

Then, Sheng Nuan turned to the boy and woman sitting in the back seat. “You two should get out here and go with them. Luo Lin and I have other matters to do, so we’ll part ways here.”

She had her own business to take care of and had no idea what dangers lay ahead. She never saw herself as a savior, nor did she believe she had the ability to protect everyone in need of help.

Helping as much as she could, just to keep her conscience clear.

After a brief moment, Sheng Nuan parted ways with the endlessly grateful people and hit the road again with Luo Lin…

The trunk of their car was filled with food and gasoline scavenged from the bandit camp, enough to last two days.

The two took turns driving for a few hours. As dawn approached, they stopped to rest, and the spring water in her bracelet’s spatial space had finally accumulated a bit again…

Sheng Nuan poured the water into a bottle and handed it to Luo Lin, who was eating. “Drink this, it’ll help you recover… From what I can tell, someone dug out your spirit core?”

Luo Lin’s expression stiffened briefly, but returned to normal the next moment. Pressing his lips together, he gave a low hum in response.

Sheng Nuan comforted him, “Don’t worry. Stick with Sister, and I’ll find a way to help you recover…”

Luo Lin thanked her verbally, but inwardly, he was filled with scorn.

Rather than continuing the conversation, he changed the topic. “Sister, being able to get this kind of water must be a well-guarded secret… Aren’t you worried about trusting me so easily?”

Sheng Nuan gave him a deliberately affectionate look. “That’s because Sister is sincere toward you.”

Luo Lin sneered inwardly but put on a grateful expression. “Thank you, Sister…”

Customer service was speechless as it watched the two show off their acting skills…

After Luo Lin drank the spring water, Sheng Nuan tentatively asked, “Do you feel anything? Any signs of your spirit core recovering?”

Luo Lin let out a self-mocking laugh. “The core is gone. How could it recover?”

He pursed his lips and lowered his gaze, bitterness flashing in his cold eyes.

If Luo Nan hadn’t tricked him and stolen his spirit core, his revenge would have been within reach. But now, he was nothing more than a cripple, forced to play along with this ugly monster just to reach the Silver Wolf Corps safely.

Recovery?

Plenty of people have had their spirit cores dug out, but no one had ever heard of anyone recovering from it.

Yet, in the next moment, Sheng Nuan spoke with surprising seriousness. “You might have it wrong. It’s the abilities that attract and gather energy, which then condenses into a spirit core… not the other way around. Having a spirit core isn’t what gives you abilities.”

The spirit core is like well water. When the core is dug out, it’s equivalent to draining the well dry, along with the surrounding groundwater, leaving it barren… But once the moisture in the surrounding soil is replenished, the well will quickly refill.

Sheng Nuan was asking customer service to retrieve detailed information beyond the plot. Once she figured out how Luo Lin recovered in the original storyline, she could quickly find a way to help him restore his spirit core.

As for the mission to repay the favor, according to customer service’s calculations, helping Luo Lin restore his powers and delivering him safely to the Silver Wolf Corps would count as completing the task!

Luo Lin hadn’t taken Sheng Nuan’s words seriously at all… but in the next moment, he saw her speaking with a solemn expression, “I promise, I’ll make sure you recover as soon as possible.”

Her expression was resolute, as if nothing could stop her from accomplishing this task.

Luo Lin’s eyelashes trembled slightly. After a brief pause, he whispered, “Okay…”

On the third day after leaving the bandit camp, Sheng Nuan and Luo Lin unexpectedly ran into Qin Yu’s convoy.

The convoy was parked outside a small city not far from the highway… Based on previous information, this city was supposed to be a safe zone.

But now, without anyone needing to say it, everyone knew that this safe zone was gone.

A mess of abandoned cars lay scattered outside the city gate. Some of their occupants had already turned into zombies still trapped inside the cars, snarling at the convoy.

The city gate, the road leading up to it—everything was stained with bl00d, limbs, and broken remains.

Inside the city, there was only desolation and lifeless silence…

Sheng Nuan rolled down the car window, and the thick stench of bl00d immediately hit her face.

Customer service reported: “This safe zone was attacked by aberrations and a zombie horde five days ago, it’s gone now…”

Each zombie or aberration attack meant countless casualties, especially with the swift-moving aberrations.

Once an aberration horde exceeds a certain size, it becomes a devastating threat to any safe zone or base!
