Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 190

Sheng Fei was in danger?

Then Sheng Nuan learned from customer service that after Sheng Fei saw her dig up wild ginseng, and with the family already having leased the barren hillside, Sheng Fei had been using any excuse lately to venture into the mountains.

According to the original plot, there would be a landslide on the road out of the mountains today, and based on calculations, Sheng Fei had a high probability of running right into it.

Sheng Nuan was speechless, but it was too late to say anything now. Her family hadn’t returned yet, and she didn’t have time to ask for help. After quickly leaving a note on the table, she dashed out towards the mountain.

She ran quickly, panting all the way… Before long, she reached the mountain path, where she could already see mud and sand starting to slide down the slope beside the road in the pouring rain.

Sheng Nuan cursed under her breath and continued forward.

Then she saw Sheng Fei.

Sheng Fei saw her too. He was startled at first and then shouted, “Sheng Nuan…”

He began to run towards her while calling out. At that moment, Sheng Nuan noticed the gravel on the mountainside not far ahead breaking loose and tumbling down with a loud rumble.

She yelled loudly at Sheng Fei, “Turn around, don’t come over.”

Sheng Fei didn’t hear clearly at first, but in the next moment, he saw the situation on the slope and was immediately stunned. “Sheng Nuan… Sister, it’s dangerous.”

Gritting her teeth, Sheng Nuan charged towards him, rushing past the spot where the landslide was imminent. She pushed him back, urging, “Go deeper into the mountain, quickly. You can’t stay here.”

This whole area was prone to landslides; a long stretch of the road could collapse.

Sheng Fei was still hesitant, “Go back? If we hurry, we might be able to make it…”

Sheng Nuan shoved him again, “Stop talking nonsense, move.”

Instinctively, Sheng Fei quickly turned around and followed Sheng Nuan, with Xie Ze also hurrying to catch up with the siblings. Just then, the mountainside next to the road behind them began to collapse.

“Host, the front is about to collapse too. Don’t go forward. Climb diagonally upwards, that spot will hold for a bit longer…” Customer service spoke up to warn her.

Sheng Nuan glanced at the muddy slope ahead where the sand and gravel had already begun to roll down. She yanked Sheng Fei and shouted through gritted teeth, “The front’s about to collapse too. Quickly climb diagonally up to the top.”

Sheng Fei snapped back to his senses and quickly responded. The three of them scrambled and tumbled their way up diagonally, climbing and rolling in a chaotic rush.

Sheng Nuan had barely made it to the rocky ledge when the ground below began to collapse.

Her feet were now on a large flat rock from the upper mountain, which wouldn’t collapse, but the mud and rocks below were sliding away entirely… and Xie Ze was just two steps behind her.

When Xie Ze felt the ground lighten beneath his feet, he realized something.

But strangely, in that moment, instead of panicking, a strange sense of excitement welled up inside him.

His father couldn’t have more children, which made Xie Ze, his only son, the most precious thing in the world. If he were to die like this… he wondered what kind of expression that man would have.

Just the thought of it seemed amusing, haha…

Xie Ze spread his arms wide and closed his eyes, intending to follow the cascading mud and rocks into the abyss.

But suddenly, his wrist was grabbed, and someone yanked him upward.

Instinctively, Xie Ze opened his eyes and saw Sheng Nuan staring at him with a look of utter disdain, gritting her teeth as she snapped, “Are you seriously out of your mind?”

Acting all melancholic on a regular day was one thing, but now, at the brink of life and death, he was still striking a Titanic pose like he was courting death…

In the next instant, Xie Ze was pulled up onto the flat rock.

The surrounding hillside was still sliding with mud and rocks, but Sheng Fei and Sheng Nuan didn’t dare to stop, quickly making their way diagonally upward toward the mountain.

Xie Ze was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, then he stepped forward and followed them…

“Are you out of your mind, seeing it’s raining and still not heading back?” Sheng Nuan gritted her teeth and scolded Sheng Fei.

If Sheng Fei ended up dying because he came looking for ginseng after she dug some up, she would feel like a sinner.

This idiot!

Sheng Fei retorted confidently, “There’s no reason you can find it and I can’t. Besides, who knew it would suddenly rain this hard?”

Sheng Nuan couldn’t believe it. “Oh, so now you think you’re in the right?”

After finally finding a cave to shelter from the rain, Sheng Fei was still muttering under his breath, “I think you’re lying. There’s no wild ginseng at all.”

Sheng Nuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, “Scram!”

Sheng Fei sneered, “Forget about ginseng. If you’re so capable, catch another pheasant… You weren’t just snatching from other people’s traps before, were you?”

Sheng Nuan laughed in anger, “Believe it or not, I don’t care. Now get lost.”

Behind them, Xie Ze sat nearby, watching the two siblings bicker, finding it quite interesting.

Sheng Nuan was clearly worried about her brother, rushing over without regard for her own safety, yet she kept scolding him the entire time.

When Sheng Fei saw his sister in danger earlier, his face had gone pale with fear, but now his eyes were full of disdain as he kept grumbling under his breath… Xie Ze had seen plenty of people who spoke with honeyed words but harbored daggers in their hearts, so he found the scene in front of him particularly interesting.

After about half an hour, the rain finally stopped.

Sheng Fei squatted by the cave entrance, peeking outside, then turned to look at Sheng Nuan. “If you can catch a pheasant now, I’ll believe you.”

Sheng Nuan smirked, “Believe whatever you want. Who asked you to believe me anyway?”

Sheng Fei: ……

Alright, the truth was he was hungry.

By this point, Sheng Nuan already knew that the mountain roads were buried under mud and rocks, and it would probably be a long wait for rescue. She hadn’t eaten anything either, having rushed out to find this idiot.

She shot Sheng Fei a glare before standing up and heading outside the cave, muttering to customer service: “I don’t even have a net with me right now. Can I really find a pheasant?”

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a flapping sound echoed, and a pheasant flew over her head, crashed into a large tree ahead, and fell to the ground with a squawk.

Sheng Nuan paused, cleared her throat, and walked over to pick it up…

Behind her, Sheng Fei and Xie Ze were both dumbfounded.

Sheng Fei muttered in a daze, “Is this even possible?”

Sheng Nuan walked up to him, holding the pheasant, and tossed it to him, “What are you standing there stupidly for? You want to eat it, go deal with it.”

Sheng Fei snapped out of it, swallowed his saliva, and immediately got up to take the pheasant outside… Xie Ze, still in a daze, lifted his eyes and met Sheng Nuan’s gaze.

Sheng Nuan raised her chin, “Don’t just sit there. Gather the firewood in the cave, or there won’t be any share for you later.”

Xie Ze chuckled, nodded, and stood up to collect the scattered branches and dry grass in the cave…

Before long, Sheng Fei returned.

He had gutted the pheasant, but the feathers hadn’t been fully plucked yet. Carrying the feathered pheasant in one hand and a few pieces of honeycomb in the other, he excitedly said, “We can have honey-roasted pheasant¹!”

Xie Ze looked at the feathers still on the pheasant with some horror and stammered, “I-I’ll pass.”

No one paid attention to him.

Then he watched as Sheng Fei went outside the cave and wrapped the pheasant in mud²… and then fished out half a box of matches from a corner of the cave to light the fire.

Not long after, the mud on the pheasant was completely dry… Sheng Fei peeled off the mud, and then Xie Ze saw that the pheasant, which had been all hairy just a moment ago, was now white and clean.

He was stunned again.

Then Sheng Fei began roasting the pheasant, turning it over the fire while breaking apart the honeycomb and spreading honey all over the pheasant as it cooked…
