Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 231

Xiao Zheng had come specifically to find Sheng Nuan.

Recalling what had happened last night, he felt waves of chills running down his spine…

Last night, Xiao Zheng accompanied Ji Chengzhou and a client to go fishing in the wild. That place was popular among wild fishing enthusiasts, so there wasn’t much to be cautious about.

As usual, Xiao Zheng waited nearby, ready to serve his boss and the client at any moment. Suddenly, he saw a fish flopping on the grassy bank by the pond.

He was stunned for a moment, then became delighted.

While others were fishing, he could just pick up a fish…

But just as he took two steps toward it, the ground beneath him suddenly gave way, and with a splash, he fell into the pond. As he struggled to climb out, his leg tightened.

He clearly felt a hand tightly gripping his ankle, trying to drag him underwater… Xiao Zheng looked down and saw, in the murky water, a pale and swollen face.

Startled, he choked on water and uncontrollably began sinking… At that moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him out of the water.

Xiao Zheng saw his boss, Ji Chengzhou, frowning in confusion. “What’s going on? Why did you suddenly jump into the water?”

Xiao Zheng was shivering and couldn’t utter a single word…

After returning home, the chilling cold from the depths still clung to him like a shadow. Only then did Xiao Zheng remember the warning Sheng Nuan had given him a few days ago.

He curled up in bed, shivering through the night. At the first light of dawn, Xiao Zheng couldn’t wait to head to the Ji family’s main residence…

Sheng Nuan was chatting with Du Chengcheng and the others when she saw the pale-faced Xiao Zheng approaching anxiously.

She raised an eyebrow. “What’s up?”

Xiao Zheng nearly burst into tears, trembling as he spoke. “Young Madam, please save me…”

He then shakily recounted his experience and nervously begged Sheng Nuan to help him. “I still feel a chilling cold on my back, like a pair of hands is gripping my neck.”

Sheng Nuan opened her third eye and saw the swollen evil spirit clinging to Xiao Zheng’s neck.

Indeed, it was gripping his neck…

Before she could speak, the red-haired Shao Bin stood up with a flourish. “I was wondering what it was—just a small matter. No need for Sister Nuan to step in, I’ll teach you a spell, Sister Nuan taught me. Come on, repeat after me, Ba-la-la Little Magic Fairy…”

Sheng Nuan: (〃’▽’〃)

Ji Rong: ?

Others: o(￣▽￣)ｄ

Shao Bin: （￣︶￣）↗

Xiao Zheng was a bit dumbfounded… But with Shao Bin urging him, he could only tremble, feeling utterly absurd, and stuttered as he repeated, “Ba-la-la… Little Magic Fairy…”

At the same time, with a blank expression, Sheng Nuan looked at the entity clinging to Xiao Zheng’s neck and reached out to grab the golf club beside her.

As soon as her hand touched the club, the swollen evil spirit released Xiao Zheng with a whoosh, dropped to the ground, and quickly crawled away.

The aura surrounding that woman was extremely terrifying. It was obvious that her murderous presence was earned by killing numerous evil spirits… Too frightening.

Seeing that evil spirit just rushed out the door, a truck outside repairing the garden suddenly dumped a load of soil directly onto her, pinning her down. The evil spirit let out a miserable scream and instantly dissipated…

Sheng Nuan wasn’t sure what had happened, guessing that earth overcomes water¹.

At this moment, Xiao Zheng was already stunned.

Because he realized that after reciting that incantation, the chilling, eerie sensation on his back and the suffocating feeling around his neck had truly disappeared just like that…

His eyes were filled with shock and gratitude. “Thank you, thank you, Young Madam. Thank you, Mr. Shao. I’m so grateful.”

Shao Bin waved his hand. “Alright, for small matters like this in the future, just recite the spell yourself. Don’t bother Sister Nuan…”

Xiao Zheng looked at Sheng Nuan with eyes full of reverence. “Yes.”

As Sheng Nuan and Ji Rong were seeing off Du Chengcheng and the others, Ji Chengzhou’s car stopped at the door.

He got out, ignoring the group, and with a dark expression strode into the house, heading straight to his study.

Shao Bin and Zhou Zhe exchanged glances, shrugging and smirking.

Ji Chengzhou was what their parents refer to as “other people’s children.” Although he comes from a disgraceful background, his management skills and conduct have always been highly praised by the older generation in their social circle.

But we salted fish instinctively choose to avoid him…

As they brushed past Ji Chengzhou, Sheng Nuan sensed something, frowning slightly, then heard customer service tutting: “Ji Chengzhou has received a red invitation.”

Sheng Nuan: Oh ho…

Ji Chengzhou entered his study, sitting on the sofa, feeling cold all over.

He now managed more than half of the Ji family’s enterprises and was exposed to many things, so he knew about the Zhao family’s red invitation incident. He also knew that a certain department was investigating it—a department he’d never heard of before called the Special Investigation Division.

After seeing the red invitation that appeared out of thin air on him, he immediately tried to contact the Special Investigation Division and learned some information from them.

According to the Special Investigation Division, from ancient times to the present, there have been periods of anomalies every so often—perhaps every hundred years, maybe even a thousand—because, besides the world they currently live in, alternate dimensions also exist.

During the anomaly period, these alternate dimensions would intersect with the human world. At the intersection points, entities from the other dimensions would try every means to create disturbances. Initially, there would be some supernatural events aimed at absorbing the vitality of the human world… Their ultimate goal was to strengthen themselves, find ways to enter the human world, and seize its vitality.

The Special Investigation Division existed to eliminate those evil spirits attempting to break through the barriers during the early stages of the anomaly period. Otherwise, the more humans suffered, the stronger the alternate dimensions would become, and the more dire the humans’ situation would be.

The red invitations were mediums through which the evil spirits of the other dimensions pulled humans into that world. Anyone who had come close to this medium had a certain probability of being pulled into that world. The closer you were, the higher the probability.

The time on the invitation in Ji Chengzhou’s hand was still several days away. The Special Investigation Division told him to stay calm, avoid contact with others, and mentioned that they had already obtained some information related to someone who had possessed a red invitation but came out unscathed.

When the time came, they would proactively contact Ji Chengzhou…

For this reason, Ji Chengzhou had returned home to stay by himself. Actually, it was also because this home had Ji Rong.

Someone he despised.

If possible, he even wanted to find an excuse to get his father, Ji Chongming, to come back… But since he sought help, the Special Investigation Division was aware of his situation; he couldn’t do anything else now.

At this moment, Ji Chengzhou thought of the call from Sheng Yue that he had hung up during his conversation with the Special Investigation Division.

Taking a deep breath, he called Sheng Yue back.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Chengzhou told Sheng Yue about receiving the red invitation and warned her not to come see him, explaining that being near him could cause her to be affected.

Sheng Yue was extremely shocked, but knowing that Ji Chengzhou wasn’t someone who would joke about such things, she was both worried and scared, softly sobbing.

Ji Chengzhou comforted her gently, “We just shouldn’t meet for a while. Don’t be afraid, I’ll be fine…”

As long as the Special Investigation Division finds the person who possessed a red invitation but came out unscathed and learns more information, there will definitely be a way…
