Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 156

At this moment, Sheng Nuan had already learned from customer service about Scarface’s background.

Scarface used to be an ordinary man. He was disfigured by burns while trying to save his wife, but in the end, she ran off with a pretty boy… During a near-death encounter with zombies, Scarface evolved water-type abilities and joined the Wild Fox base, where he became known as Brother Scar.

Eventually, he tracked down his wife and the pretty boy and fed them both to the zombies, becoming a notorious villain who committed all sorts of evil.

Because of his wife’s affair, he despised pretty boys the most.

Seeing two men approaching Luo Lin, Sheng Nuan stepped in front of Luo Lin, looking at Scarface with a sincere expression. “Brother, I’m a strength-type evolver. Let me take my brother’s place.”

Luo Lin instantly froze, staring blankly as he caught sight of Sheng Nuan’s resolute profile.

He pressed his lips together and hesitated, reaching out to push Sheng Nuan aside, but as soon as he moved, Sheng Nuan shoved him back without turning her head.

“Don’t move, stay put. What will I do if something happens to you?!”

This was her precious mission target.

Luo Lin immediately froze, staring at her in a daze…

Old Scar had been ready to pull the trigger, but when his gaze fell on Sheng Nuan’s face, which looked similar to his own, he paused. Then, with a cold laugh, he said, “You? A strength-type?”

Sheng Nuan nodded sincerely and raised her fist, smashing the stone next to her into pieces.

Strength-type evolvers are the only ones without a spirit core. Although they are weaker compared to other evolvers, they’re also safer since they don’t have to worry about being captured and having their core dug out.

That’s why Sheng Nuan said this.

The mutated giant python in the water was extremely dangerous. If Luo Lin didn’t manage to survive by some stroke of luck this time, her mission would fail.

Seeing Sheng Nuan smashing the large stone with a single punch, everyone around was stunned. Lu Yu looked stunned… he didn’t even know that Sheng Nuan had evolved into a strength-type!

Jealousy flooded Cheng Yue’s eyes.

Old Scar laughed. “In my, Old Scar’s, eyes, strength is bullshit. You’ll still die… Taking someone else’s place, aren’t you afraid of death?”

“Afraid!” Sheng Nuan replied, “But if by chance I can survive, I want to take my younger brother and follow you, Brother Scar.”

Sheng Nuan’s expression was filled with sadness. “To be honest, after I was disfigured, my boyfriend left me for another woman. Now it’s just me and my brother, with no one to rely on… I’m willing to work for Brother Scar. As long as Brother Scar is willing to take us in, I will be completely loyal.”

Old Scar was momentarily stunned.

This experience, so similar to his own, struck a chord with him. Old Scar spat on the ground and said, “Alright, as long as you get the job done for me today, I’ll have your back from now on.”

Sheng Nuan’s eyes lit up with gratitude. “Brother!”

Old Scar grunted. “Go on, Sister!”

Luo Lin stood there with his fists clenched, emotions surging inside him.

Did she really like him this much… she would even risk her life for him…

The next moment, Old Scar led Sheng Nuan and a few of his men to the lake not far away.

His goal was the mutated giant python in the lake. Inside the python’s body was a spirit core. Although an animal’s spirit core doesn’t have the same probability of helping a person evolve as a human core does, it’s still a valuable item that can make evolvers stronger.

Old Scar and his men, along with Sheng Nuan, reached the lakeside while the rest of the group was kept in place at gunpoint, too terrified to move.

“Go on, get into the water and lure that thing out…”

“Okay, Brother Scar,” Sheng Nuan didn’t hesitate, grabbing a knife and walking into the water.

Luo Lin instinctively took a step forward. “Sheng Nuan…”

Sheng Nuan stopped and turned around, meeting Luo Lin’s tense gaze.

She smiled at him. “It’s fine, don’t be afraid.”

Luo Lin’s lips moved, then he said, “You have to be careful.”

Sheng Nuan nodded and waded into the water…

The lake water was icy cold and carried a foul stench. Old Scar kept urging her to go deeper…

By the time Sheng Nuan reached the middle of the lake, the water was nearly up to her shoulders. She looked around before climbing onto a big rock in the lake and sat down, letting one leg dangle into the water.

One advantage of volunteering to be the bait was that she didn’t have to be tied up… In the original plot, Luo Lin had been captured by this group, bound, and thrown into the lake, a true life-or-death situation.

The mutated python could sense living creatures in the water, so Old Scar didn’t insist that Sheng Nuan stay fully submerged. After all, having a strength-type evolver as a subordinate wasn’t a bad thing, and there was no need to let her die.

At this point, everyone had figured out what being bait really meant.

These people were deliberately trying to lure out a mutated creature.

As for what kind of mutated creature it was, just by looking at the machine guns and other heavy firepower they had set up by the lakeside, it was clear that it was no ordinary one.

Luo Lin clenched his fists slightly, his gaze fixed on Sheng Nuan, who was sitting on the rock in the middle of the lake…

Sheng Nuan looked up, saw Luo Lin’s tense expression, and smiled, playfully winking at him.

Just then, the customer service spoke up: “Host, it’s coming…”

At the same time, Sheng Nuan’s heightened senses picked it up too—a massive creature beneath the water was approaching, ripples spreading across the surface.

Old Scar raised his hand, and the men behind him immediately raised their weapons. In the next moment, with a great splash, a giant shadow surged from the water, lunging straight at Sheng Nuan…

The python, as thick as a water tank, had a massive head the size of a small car, covered in black scales smeared with mud, emanating a terrifying, cold aura as it hurtled toward Sheng Nuan on the rock.

Screams erupted from the surrounding onlookers, and Luo Lin’s expression changed drastically as he shouted instinctively, “Sheng Nuan!”

Everyone thought that ugly monster was doomed. A python that huge, moving that fast, there was no way she could escape. But just then, they saw a figure suddenly leap into the air.

Sheng Nuan leaped high into the air, landing a foot on the giant python’s head. Gripping the knife with both hands, she drove it straight down… With a squelch, the blade plunged into the python’s eye.

The python let out an earth-shaking roar, violently thrashing its head. Sheng Nuan used the momentum to leap backward, flipping in the air before landing on the grassy lakeside, kneeling upon impact.

The entire sequence of movements was completed in an instant, leaving everyone staring in stunned silence.

Is this what a strength-type evolver can do? That level of skill is too astonishing…

Only Qin Yu had a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

He had seen strength-type evolvers before, and while they were stronger and faster than ordinary people, their reflexes and techniques couldn’t compare to Sheng Nuan’s series of near-perfect maneuvers.

However, evolvers vary in strength, and he couldn’t be certain of anything. He only realized in that instant that Sheng Nuan’s evolution was very powerful… at least not weaker than his own wind-type abilities.

As soon as Sheng Nuan landed, Old Scar’s men immediately opened fire…

The sound of gunfire roared as they targeted the enraged python, who had been blinded in one eye. It had been preparing to charge but was forced to retreat under the barrage of bullets, thrashing violently and churning the water.

The convoy members were utterly terrified, huddling together and crying out in fear…

If that massive creature came ashore, they would all be dead!

Old Scar’s firepower was overwhelming, pinning down the injured giant python for several minutes, eventually piercing through its scales. Realizing the situation was turning against it, the python, unwilling as it was, had no choice but to turn and retreat back into the water.

“Want to escape?”

Old Scar sneered, raising his hand. The lake water surged, forming a massive water dragon that coiled around the python, dragging it back toward the shore… Firepower continued raining down once again.

The python struggled with all its might, letting out a deafening roar before finally tearing the water dragon apart and disappearing into the depths once again.

Old Scar cursed under his breath. Seeing the meat in his mouth¹ about to escape, how could he be willing to let it go? He grabbed a gun and pointed it at Sheng Nuan. “Go after it.”
