Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 258

“Woke up, woke up, she’s awake.”

Lin Ya was actually the first to cheer. After shouting, she realized her mistake and awkwardly cleared her throat before sitting back down.

Chen Qingnan’s eyes were a bit red as he sighed, “It’s good that you’re safe, it’s good that you’re safe.”

Ji Chengzhou also felt a sense of relief, taking a long breath before smiling, “It’s good you’re back.”

Sheng Yue’s expression was stiff, her eyes flashing with resentment.

Everything had turned out this way, and Sheng Nuan was still able to come back… Why is her life so tough?!

At this moment, Sheng Muyang stood up, holding onto the sofa armrest, not even blinking as she looked at Sheng Nuan.

Having left that world, they no longer felt the life-threatening hunger, but Sheng Muyang was still in terrible condition. Even after returning, he still looked pale and extremely weak.

He took a step forward, wanting to approach Sheng Nuan, “Nuan Nuan, how are you?”

“I’m fine.” Sheng Nuan nodded politely to him, “The terms of the agreement have been fulfilled, that’s it.”

After speaking, she stood up and pulled Ji Rong… Ji Rong’s complexion was unnaturally pale as he smiled at her, then obediently left with her.

Sheng Muyang stood frozen on the spot, giving a self-deprecating bitter smile before silently walking out. Behind him, Sheng Yue suddenly shouted, “Big Brother.”

She feared that Sheng Muyang leaving her would make others suspect something, but when she called out, she immediately regretted it.

Sheng Muyang stopped, turned back to look at Sheng Yue, and tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Because of you, I lost my sister who truly regarded me as a brother.”

Sheng Yue’s face turned pale as she hurriedly took a few steps forward, “Let’s go home.”

Sheng Muyang, however, took a step back to avoid her grasping hand, simply watching her quietly before asking in a low voice, “Yue’er, when you snatched the pendant from me, did you ever… even for a second, feel any reluctance?”

Behind them, everyone was stunned.

Lin Ya immediately covered her mouth, eyes wide with shock, because she suddenly remembered that when they had reunited earlier, Sheng Yue had said her brother had given her the pendant and that her brother was already gone.

At that time, the situation was urgent. They had to save Sheng Muyang and leave without thinking of anything else. But now, upon closer reflection, Sheng Muyang hadn’t died at all, which meant that when Sheng Yue left, he was still alive.

But Sheng Yue had snatched away his pendant, leaving the severely injured Sheng Muyang alone… That was completely disregarding his life.

Sheng Yue even told them that Sheng Muyang had died, clearly not wanting them to search for him.

Lin Ya couldn’t believe it, “How could you be so malicious? He is your brother, he went in for you!”

Sheng Yue’s face turned pale as she gritted her teeth, “Shut up, you don’t know anything… It has nothing to do with you.”

Sheng Muyang’s eyes welled up with deep disappointment and self-mockery as he turned away without saying a word and walked out in big strides…

Sheng Yue’s body trembled, tears streaming down her face.

She just wanted to live, was she wrong?

Those people on the ship had even eaten the mermen who saved them just to survive. Everyone wanted to live… She just wanted to live!

Ji Chengzhou walked over.

Hope appeared in Sheng Yue’s eyes, “Chengzhou…”

But in the next instant, she heard Ji Chengzhou loudly say, “Xiao Zheng, take Miss Sheng Yue back.”

Outside, Xiao Zheng pushed the door open, looking joyful, “Sir, you’re all safe, that’s all that matters.”

But seeing that something was wrong with the situation, he immediately fell silent, then glanced at Sheng Yue and respectfully bowed his head, “Miss Sheng, please.”

Sheng Yue wanted to say something, but Ji Chengzhou had already gone over to talk to Chen Qingnan and the others… not even looking at her again.

Lin Ya was confused and couldn’t help but ask Ji Chengzhou, “We investigated, and it seems Sheng Nuan liked you before she got married… I don’t quite understand, why did you choose Sheng Yue?”

Ji Chengzhou: ……

Seeing Ji Chengzhou’s extremely unpleasant expression, Chen Qingnan turned around and sighed helplessly, “Can you not talk?”

Lin Ya shrugged her neck, “Did I say something wrong?”

Chen Qingnan: ……

He felt that having this disciple with him could shorten at least five years of his life!

Ji Chengzhou took a deep breath, then tugged at the corner of his mouth, “It’s hard to explain… Thank you all for everything this time.”

Chen Qingnan waved his hand, “It’s our duty. Speaking of which, we still need to thank Miss Sheng Nuan. Honestly… I rarely admire anyone, but Miss Sheng truly is not an ordinary person.”

After speaking, Chen Qingnan sighed, “We won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell.”

The three of them left, leaving Ji Chengzhou alone in the study. He slowly sat down on the sofa, his eyes filled with deep contemplation.

Subconsciously, Ji Chengzhou wasn’t actually surprised by Sheng Muyang’s words. What he thought about was how Sheng Muyang had asked him to take Sheng Yue away. Sheng Yue had refused, saying she didn’t want to abandon her brother.

But in reality, her intention was to seize Sheng Muyang’s last lifesaving talisman—the pendant—when no one was watching, leaving the severely injured Sheng Muyang helpless…

Ji Chengzhou had witnessed firsthand how the Sheng family treated Sheng Yue like the apple of their eyes, and how they trampled Sheng Nuan underfoot to protect her… How could there be such a cold and heartless woman in this world?

People downstairs had already dispersed. Upstairs, Ji Rong returned to his room to rest, while Sheng Nuan went to take a shower.

Although her body was clean, she still felt like she could smell the lingering fishy scent.

After coming out of the shower, she took a bottle of water and sat on the sofa, drinking while contemplating some things.

She was thinking about that black dragon, who was also that man with golden eyes in black robes… and about Ji Rong’s sudden, inexplicable weakness.

Because the world’s basic data was largely missing, customer service was still struggling to piece together the plot and had only found some follow-up to the original storyline.

In the original plot, after Ji Rong, possessed by the evil spirit, died, the city experienced an earthquake that caused countless casualties… Based on some clues, that earthquake wasn’t a real earthquake.

It was likely caused by the evil spirit.

But hadn’t the greatest evil spirit already been eliminated? Besides, with that powerful figure who could handle evil spirits around, how could an evil spirit nearly destroy an entire city?

There must be more to the story…

At this moment, customer service urgently announced: “Host, Host, based on the latest data calculations, Ji Rong is very likely that black dragon… However, the specific situation cannot be determined. Most importantly, he is very weak now and somewhat dangerous.”

Sheng Nuan paused briefly, then immediately got up and walked toward Ji Rong’s room.

Ji Rong’s room was completely silent. Sheng Nuan tiptoed to the bedside and saw Ji Rong curled up under the covers, his face pale, covered in cold sweat.

Sheng Nuan quickly went over and leaned by the bedside, softly calling him, “Ji Rong, Ji Rong…”

No response.

She carefully reached out to touch his forehead. As soon as her hand made contact, everything went black, and she realized her vision had changed.

It was no longer the previous room but that enormous deep pit. She could hear the muffled roar of a dragon…

Sheng Nuan looked down and was immediately shocked.

Under the deep pit, the huge black dragon was shedding its skin… Its head had already emerged from the torn scales, with its pitch-black scales peeled off below its neck. It was struggling in pain, but the shedding area was soaked in bl00d, making it impossible to fully shed.

It was clearly in great pain, rolling and crashing, continuously emitting sounds of agony.

A flash passed before Sheng Nuan’s eyes, and the enormous black dragon transformed back into that black-robed man with golden eyes. He was crouched on the pit’s floor, hunched over, trying to stand up but trembling uncontrollably, unable to do so. In the next instant, the black-robed man instantly transformed back into the black dragon.

At that moment, as if sensing something, the black dragon suddenly turned its head to look at Sheng Nuan, its dark gold eyes like those of a wild beast. And then, with a thunderous roar, it hurtled toward her…
