Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 228
Du Chengcheng and Shao Bin nearly screamed, terrified as they huddled together, trembling. In the next moment, the hallway light flickered, and in the brief flash of pale light, they saw a woman in a red dress suddenly dart forward a few meters, as if in slow motion.
She was now much closer, but all they could see were her pale arms and the long hair draped in front… along with her rigid limbs.
Du Chengcheng’s throat made a raspy sound; she was too scared to speak, and Shao Bin was no better off. The two of them crouched behind the fat man, even forgetting that he was also a malicious spirit.
Just then, they heard a voice filled with surprise and laughter.
“Wow, so there really are beauties in this building! I thought there were only bratty kids and lazy fat guys…”
Fat man: ? I suspect you’re insinuating something about me and I have evidence!
The woman in the red dress seemed to pause for a moment, and then Du Chengcheng and Shao Bin were stunned to see Sheng Nuan not only not backing away but also eagerly stepping forward to grab the red dress’s arm and pull her toward the well-lit stairway.
“Come on, come on! Let me see our beautiful lady here… You have a great figure, and that dress also looks nice! Hmm, it’s just as beautiful as this latest collection from the C brand that I’m wearing.”
The woman in the red dress suddenly stiffened, then raised her hand to sweep her long hair away from her face, staring intently at Sheng Nuan… On her pale face, her eyes sparkled as she exclaimed enviously, “So it really is the latest collection from C brand!”
Du Chengcheng and Shao Bin: ???
Sheng Nuan smiled modestly, “Yes, but if you ask me, this dress would look even better on my sister. How about we swap outfits?”
The woman in the red dress was momentarily stunned, even seeming a bit incredulous, “R-Really?”
Sheng Nuan widened her eyes, “Of course it’s true! Sister is so beautiful, and we hit it off right away. What’s wrong with swapping outfits? From now on, we can trade clothes. That way, it’s like each of us has double the outfits!”
The woman in the red dress retracted her long, dark nails, revealing a shy expression on her pale face, “Th-Isn’t this a bit embarrassing?…”
Sheng Nuan took her arm. “Please, don’t be so polite. Let’s go, let’s switch right now.”
The woman in the red dress shyly nodded and led Sheng Nuan to the door, then suddenly remembered, “Um, my place is a bit messy.”
“So what?” Sheng Nuan turned around and said, “Fat man, go tidy up sister’s place. From now on, this job will be yours. A woman living alone needs someone to take care of her. Do you hear me?”
The fat man had already seen the beautiful face of the woman in the red dress, and he was instantly smitten. Without hesitation, he replied, “Leave it to me! From now on, this sister in red dress will be my big sister!”
Behind them, Du Chengcheng and Shao Bin suppressed their fear as they followed… They had no idea how the terrifying atmosphere had suddenly transformed into a best friends’ dress-up party, but at that moment, they were determined to stick with Sheng Nuan and not leave her side.
Once they entered the room of the woman in the red dress, Sheng Nuan saw Zhou Zhe and Sun Yuqing curled up together, crying and weeping uncontrollably. When they spotted Sheng Nuan and Du Chengcheng, their eyes lit up at first, only to be quickly filled with despair.
It’s over, it’s over. They’ve been cornered by a female ghost.
Sheng Nuan glanced at them and said, “You two wait outside. I’m just swapping clothes with my sister.”
The woman in the red dress glanced at the two of them and then said, “Didn’t you hear what my sister said? Get out!”
Zhou Zhe and Sun Yuqing stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and in the next moment, they scrambled out, rolling and crawling away…
Inside the room, as Sheng Nuan and the red dress ghost changed clothes, she said, “Sister, I’ll be honest with you. I’m not really a manager, I’m here to find my husband.”
The woman in the red dress smiled, “I know, there’s no way a living person could be a manager here… Aren’t you afraid of dying while looking for your husband?”
Sheng Nuan, now dressed in the red dress, smiled wryly, “Of course I’m afraid, but my husband is weak. If I don’t take care of him, he’ll definitely be in danger… I can’t just abandon him.”
Hearing this, the woman in the red dress was moved and sighed, “Us women are always so foolish.”
She looked down at the finely tailored and high-quality dress she was wearing, her face showing a hint of shyness, “After all these years, you’re the first to compliment me and willing to swap clothes…”
Suddenly, the woman in the red dress pushed Sheng Nuan out, “Get out, get out! Don’t think that just because you gave me a dress, I’ll tell you where the person on the fourth floor is! I won’t tell you it’s in the last room on the fourth floor. Hurry up and get lost!”
Sheng Nuan was shoved outside, and in the next moment, the door slammed shut with a bang.
She chuckled and turned to the fat man, saying, “You stay here and remember to help Sister tidy up her place…”
In the next moment, she turned to Du Chengcheng and the others, “Let’s go, I’ll take you out!”
The five of them headed up the stairs to the fourth floor. In the darkness, countless sinister presences were fixated on them, emitting chilling cries and laughter, eager to pounce.
Sheng Nuan held the chair leg in her hand, tapping it against the railing as she ascended. “Rent collection time! If you don’t have money, you can pay with something else—clothes, pants, shoes, heads, arms, legs—anything’s fine. Hurry up, it’s rent collection time…”
In the darkness, some evil spirits recognized the red dress she was wearing and immediately shrank back.
Could it be that the manager really came to collect rent? The woman in the red dress on the second floor had already had her one outfit stripped, what would she wear from now on?
Without clothes, could she still come out to scare people? Would others still be afraid of her?
She even said that heads, arms, and legs would do! How brutal, how despicable…
Those evil spirits began to retreat, hoping others would rush in first to investigate… But as one retreated, others followed suit.
Are you kidding? If even the fierce woman in the red dress had her clothes stripped, wouldn’t charging in just make them cannon fodder? No way—better to wait for someone else to go first!
Just like that, Sheng Nuan boldly led Du Chengcheng and the four others up to the fourth floor with a swagger… As they passed the corner of the stairs, she glanced at the broken sticks lying on the ground and had the four of them pick them up just in case.
They picked them up, but still trembled with fear. Shao Bin almost cried, “W-We don’t even know how to exorcise evil spirits with these sticks! Miss Sheng, please teach us—even a spell would do…”
A spell? She was focused on physical exorcism; where would she get a spell from?
Sheng Nuan thought for a moment and said pensively, “Then… Ba-la-la Little Magic Fairy1?”
Du Chengcheng and the others were immediately dumbfounded…
Just then, a sudden sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling erupted behind them. They turned around to see thick black mist rapidly surging up the stairs toward them, and everyone was instantly alarmed, “Miss Sheng!”
Sheng Nuan turned to take a quick look and immediately walked briskly down the hallway… The lights in the corridor buzzed ominously but did not go out. She saw the black mist quickly pouring out from the cracks of the side doors, and within the mist were elongated, eerie shadows rushing toward them…
