Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 240

The red invitation in Ji Chengzhou’s hand turned to ashes in an instant, indicating that he would no longer be pulled into that space because of this invitation.

After Chen Qingnan and the others left one after another, Sheng Nuan was also carried upstairs by Ji Rong.

She had been burned by black flames in that world. Although she didn’t have any visible injuries after coming out, she felt extremely weary. After going upstairs, she took a hot shower, changed into her pajamas, and directly sank into the soft big bed.

Downstairs, Ji Chengzhou sat silently in the study, then heard the phone ring.

It was Sheng Yue.

Seeing the constantly flashing name on the screen, Ji Chengzhou suddenly envisioned Sheng Yue crying and accusing him of dragging her into this predicament… and the scene of her bumping into him and rushing toward the exit.

Pausing for a moment, he picked up the phone and connected the call. Sheng Yue’s anxious voice rang out.

“Chengzhou, are you okay?”

Ji Chengzhou remained silent for a moment before saying, “I’m fine.”

Sheng Yue let out a deep sigh of relief. “It’s good you’re okay, it’s good you’re okay.”

She was still a bit worried, “Is the invitation still there? Will something like that happen again? Chengzhou, I was really scared just now. I almost thought I…”

Ji Chengzhou spoke in a deep voice about the invitation having disappeared, and only then did Sheng Yue feel at ease. Then, seemingly casually, she asked, “What about Nuan Nuan? Is she okay?”

After asking, Sheng Yue’s palms holding the phone became a bit sweaty.

In the next instant, she heard Ji Chengzhou say, “She’s fine.”

Sheng Yue pursed her lips and hummed quietly, “That’s good then…”

Not long after hanging up the phone with Sheng Yue, Ji Chengzhou’s driver, Xiao Zheng, arrived.

He hurriedly walked in, and seeing that Ji Chengzhou was okay, Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and then sighed, “Thanks to the spell taught by the Young Madam, otherwise, I think I wouldn’t have made it back alive.”

After speaking, Xiao Zheng seemed to remember something and hesitated for a long moment before cautiously saying, “Sir, I know I might be a bit presumptuous, but you’ve shown me great kindness, so I still want to say… if you’re with Miss Sheng and, just in case—I mean, just in case there’s danger in the future, please, remember to prioritize your own safety…”

Ji Chengzhou casually raised his eyes and saw Xiao Zheng’s red face looking very conflicted, “Yes, your own safety is more important, don’t you think so?”

Xiao Zheng wanted to tell Ji Chengzhou about Sheng Yue pushing him over, but he hesitated, thinking he might be stirring up trouble, especially since Ji Chengzhou and Sheng Yue were about to get engaged.

But recalling Sheng Yue’s crying and accusing voice in the office, and the scene of her pushing Mr. Ji aside and running out without hesitation, Xiao Zheng felt that a person’s behavior in moments of danger truly reflects their character.

It’s just like how Miss Sheng would risk her safety to turn back and save the Second Young Master, or how she would turn around and fight desperately for that little monster who had once helped her… Others might find her actions of turning back hard to understand, but Xiao Zheng felt that this was true loyalty and kindness.

She could repay favors even to those little monsters, let alone the people around her.

“Sir, actually I think…” Xiao Zheng began to speak but stopped halfway, remembering that Miss Sheng Nuan, who had once chased after his own master, was now the Second Young Master’s wife.

He quickly fell silent and stopped speaking.

From beginning to end, Ji Chengzhou remained silent…

Upstairs, Sheng Nuan lay on the soft big bed and soon fell into a deep sleep. After an unknown amount of time, she saw that huge deep pit again, along with the black dragon coiled at the bottom.

This time, however, the black dragon no longer looked as drowsy and weak as it did before. Its enormous head slowly lifted, staring directly at Sheng Nuan.

Sheng Nuan felt her scalp go numb but couldn’t move a muscle. She could only watch wide-eyed as the large head approached her, the dark gold eyes slowly coming closer… After getting closer, she could even feel the dragon’s breath.

Hoo~ Hoo…

In that instant, seeing those dark gold eyes, Sheng Nuan had a sudden flash in her mind, recalling the black-robed man with dark gold eyes she had met twice in that world. His eyes were also dark gold, but were not the vertical pupils of the black dragon.

At that moment, the black dragon gently rubbed its mouth against her… with no signs of wanting to attack her.

Sheng Nuan felt her stiff body become less rigid after being sprayed with the dragon’s breath. She tried, very slowly, to lift her hand bit by bit… cautiously reaching forward.

The black dragon watched her quietly without making any moves.

In the next instant, her palm touched the hard scales… At the same time, she plummeted downward.

Sheng Nuan suddenly opened her eyes, still a bit dazed.

Black dragon…

Then she saw Ji Rong sitting by the bedside.

Ji Rong still looked very obedient, sitting quietly by the bedside. When he saw her open her eyes, he smiled, lips pressed together. “You’re awake.”

Sheng Nuan slowly sat up, looked at her phone, and realized she had been asleep for over four hours.

Putting down her phone, she scratched her messy hair, “Why are you here?”

Ji Rong softly replied, “I was worried about you.”

Seeing his well-behaved look reminded Sheng Nuan of how cute he looked wearing the nurse cap. She immediately laughed and reached out to pat his head, “Hmm, not bad. Even though it’s a salted fish, it’s a salted fish with a conscience.”

Ji Rong helplessly watched her messing with his hair without avoiding, sitting obediently there and looking at her with soft eyes…

Because Ji Rong was still very weak, Sheng Nuan decided to continue urging him to exercise.

She had the customer service check, and it turned out that Ji Rong had a weak constitution at birth, but not to the point of being unable to live. The reason he had been so weak before was probably related to being targeted by evil forces.

Now, having dealt with two of the evil spirit’s avatars, Ji Rong’s complexion seemed much better.

Only after confirming that he could exercise did Sheng Nuan strictly urge him to strengthen his body…

Starting running too vigorously could easily cause injuries, so she continued taking the salted fish to swim.

But Ji Rong seemed to be born lazy and sleepy. Every time he swam a few strokes, he’d either complain of pain or say he was tired… Just like a delicate flower!

After swimming for a few days, there was not much progress.

The weather was nice today. Sheng Nuan, as usual, sat by the poolside holding juice, supervising the salted fish. Seeing Ji Rong swim two laps and then plop down by the poolside, pitifully whining that he was tired, Sheng Nuan laughed angrily and directly went over to kick him.

But as soon as she kicked, Ji Rong grabbed her ankle. He looked up at her, pleading eagerly, “Come swim with me.”

As he spoke, his gaze kept drifting toward Sheng Nuan’s chest.

Since they were at home, Sheng Nuan’s swimsuit was relatively conservative in style. However, because of her well-developed figure, it was still a bit snug around the chest, soft and fair.

From the very start today, Ji Rong’s eyes hadn’t been honest…

“Where are you looking?”

Sheng Nuan snorted and laughed, kicked Ji Rong’s hand away, and turned back to sit on the lounge chair with her legs crossed, looking very disdainful, “If you’re weak, then exercise properly. Don’t be thinking about pointless things all day long.”

Ji Rong climbed onto the poolside and sat on the adjacent lounge chair behind her, diligently adding juice to her and handing it over, “Nuan Nuan, drink some juice.”

Sheng Nuan turned her head and saw that salted fish’s eyes were dishonest again.

She laughed angrily, “My swimsuit is almost covering my face, and you still want to peek… How unambitious!”

Ji Rong blushed, shyly put the juice back, and coughed lightly to cover it up, “I didn’t.”

Sheng Nuan gritted her teeth and pulled his ear, “Still being stubborn.”

But as soon as she reached out her hand, Ji Rong grabbed her wrist and, with a sudden burst of strength, pulled her over…
