Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 278
“It was indeed Sheng Nuan who dissolved the contract herself…”
In the Sheng family’s living room, Zhou Qingqing sat there looking at Sheng Yun with a helpless expression. “I don’t understand what she’s thinking either.”
Sheng Yun remained silent, his usual gentle demeanor replaced by a cold, icy expression.
Whether it was the obviously targeted ambush this time or his sister risking her life to save a bl00d slave, both events put him in a very bad mood.
After a pause, Sheng Yun nodded. “I understand.”
Members of the Zhou family had already arrived to pick up Zhou Qingqing. Sheng Yun said, “Thank you very much this time, Sister Zhou.”
If Zhou Qingqing hadn’t insisted on going with Sheng Nuan, Sheng Nuan’s situation would have been even more perilous.
Zhou Qingqing had always been at odds with Sheng Nuan. Being thanked by Sheng Yun, whose status was nearly equal to Fu Hanyue’s, she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
She cleared her throat lightly. “Well, it’s nothing. Sheng Nuan saved me once at the beginning too. I don’t like owing people favors…”
Sheng Yun smiled. “In any case, the Sheng family will remember this kindness. Miss Zhou, please go back and rest. I will handle this matter with Fu Hanyue.”
Zhou Qingqing nodded and couldn’t help but glance at Yu Li, who was standing there bowing.
Everyone was puzzled, and Yu Li understood as well. Sheng Nuan was his master and as her contracted bl00d slave, he was supposed to bear harm on her behalf. But this time, Sheng Nuan had injured herself by dissolving the contract to save him.
Sheng Yun dismissed the others, leaving only him and Yu Li in the living room.
Staring silently at Yu Li for a long time, Sheng Yun finally spoke coldly, “What are your thoughts?”
Yu Li pressed his lips together, paused, and said in a low voice, “When Miss recovers enough to bear the contract, I am willing to become her bl00d slave again… to serve and be loyal to her with my life.”
Sheng Yun looked at him coldly for a long time before finally saying quietly, “You may leave.”
Yu Li responded softly and turned to leave…
Back at the Sheng residence, with countless herbs and remedies available, Sheng Nuan woke up the next day. Although she felt weak when she woke up, she could still get out of bed, but her whole body felt light and airy.
Fu Hanyue and the others came to see her, so as someone who admired Fu Hanyue, she naturally had to go out.
As soon as Sheng Nuan left her room, she saw Yu Li standing at the door, looking very obedient… She ignored him and walked forward, noticing that Yu Li silently followed her.
Entering the living room and seeing Fu Hanyue, Sheng Nuan immediately became cheerful. “Brother Fu, you’re here…”
Zhou Qingqing shouted, “Sheng Nuan, can you only see Brother Fu? I’m your big lifesaver, don’t you know how to say hello?”
Sheng Nuan: “Eh, who? Who’s talking?”
Zhou Qingqing was angry. “Sheng Nuan!”
Fu Hanyue smiled helplessly and asked gently, “How are you feeling? Any better?”
Sheng Nuan walked over to him with a grin. “I was feeling weak and dizzy at first, but seeing Brother Fu makes me feel much better.”
Fu Hanyue coughed lightly, somewhat helpless and innocent, glancing at Sheng Yun behind Sheng Nuan, whose face was covered with black lines1.
He didn’t know how a good young lady had grown up to be such a sweet talker. If he were a young boy, he’d probably be charmed senseless.
It’s a pity he had always regarded Sheng Nuan as a younger sister…
Zhou Qingqing pouted. “Tsk, when it comes to being thick-skinned, I still can’t compare to you.”
Sheng Nuan immediately smiled. “What are you talking about? You’re being too modest.”
From the moment she came in, she hadn’t acknowledged Jin Ruozhu, who was sitting there. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jin Ruozhu’s expression turn slightly cold before quickly revealing a gentle smile.
“Nuan Nuan, I’m here to apologize to you. I didn’t expect that my bl00d slave would cause such a mishap, nearly harming you and Qing Qing.”
The wreckage of the helicopter had been found, and the black box showed that there were no issues with the aircraft. The only cause of the crash was human error.
And with so many ambushes in the forest, it was obvious that someone had deliberately schemed against them.
Jin Ruozhu gave a bitter smile. “To make amends, I’ve brought my sisters two bl00d slaves. They’re both newly acquired by the Jin family and are obedient and well-behaved.”
The two young men standing behind Jin Ruozhu cautiously looked up. Seeing Sheng Nuan, their anxious expressions immediately eased, revealing hopeful looks.
They knew that this Miss Sheng had risked her own life to save her bl00d slave. For bl00d slaves like them, who had narrowly escaped death, such a good master was an ideal destination… Moreover, they hadn’t expected Miss Sheng to be such a beautiful person.
The two bl00d slaves beside Jin Ruozhu were full of surprise and hope. At the doorway, Yu Li’s expression suddenly became somewhat stiff.
He knew that Sheng Yun no longer wanted him…
He was supposed to protect Sheng Nuan, but instead, she had protected him. No family could tolerate the existence of such a bl00d slave.
Sure enough, Sheng Yun spoke up, “These two seem quite good, you can choose one.”
Sheng Nuan blinked in confusion. “Why do I need to choose? I have Yu Li… Although he’s a useless good-for-nothing, at least he’s reliable and won’t harm me.”
Jin Ruozhu’s expression froze slightly, and then she saw Sheng Nuan continue, “Besides, after what happened with Sister Jin’s bl00d slave almost costing me my life, would I dare accept another of her bl00d slaves?”
Jin Ruozhu’s smile almost faltered, and she forced an explanation, “Indeed, this matter is my fault, Nuan Nuan. I didn’t expect it. I’ve always treated Xu Zheng well, but he turned around and harmed us like this.”
Jin Ruozhu sighed, “He must have been bought off by the vampires, harming us Bl00d Hunters while trying to sow discord among the families of the Bl00d Hunter Alliance… Fortunately, you’re okay this time, Nuan Nuan. Otherwise, how could this matter be resolved?”
Sheng Nuan smiled, “Bought off? What benefit could be more important than his own life?”
Zhou Qingqing also frowned in confusion. “Yeah, why would he do that? He ended up dead himself, burned to ashes.”
Sheng Nuan gave Zhou Qingqing an appreciative glance. “So, there must be something more important to him than his own life… like family or something. Brother Fu, maybe you could investigate in that direction.”
Beside them, the smile on Jin Ruozhu’s face froze for a moment, a cold gleam flashing in her eyes.
Sheng Nuan smiled, “So, before we find out the truth, Sister Jin should take back her bl00d slaves. If one of them gets bought off again and tries to harm me, I can’t handle a second assassination attempt right now.”
Sheng Yun’s expression also paused. He narrowed his eyes and didn’t insist on getting Sheng Nuan new bl00d slaves.
At this point, Fu Hanyue spoke up, “In any case, the Jin family does bear responsibility this time. Nuan Nuan, don’t worry about anything else for now and focus on recuperating.”
Jin Ruozhu quickly said, “Yes, I’ll have the necessary herbs sent over later. Yuanbao has been clamoring to see you. When you’re feeling better, I’ll let him come visit…”
Sheng Nuan stood close to Fu Hanyue and smiled at Jin Ruozhu. “Okay, then thank you, Sister Jin.”
Outside the door, Yu Li unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, not even realizing it himself.
That night, Sheng Nuan began an extremely tedious recovery process… After all, the family’s precious young lady being injured was no small matter. Even Sheng Mingcheng and Ye Susu, who were attending an international Bl00d Hunter Alliance meeting abroad, dropped everything to rush back upon learning of their daughter’s injury.
Xiao Xing2, who served Sheng Nuan, was even more attentive, watching over her 24 hours a day.
By the time Sheng Nuan had soaked enough in the medicinal bath, Xiao Xing finally couldn’t hold on any longer and was sent off to rest by Sheng Nuan.
After leaving the medicinal pool area, Xiao Xing went to find Yu Li, instructing him to prepare to replace the water in the medicinal pool and add the new herbs.
“Miss is tidying up now. Go in after half an hour. Remember, add the herbs to cold water… Heat it up after an hour, and also…”
After rattling off instructions, Xiao Xing yawned and went back to sleep.
Yu Li silently organized the herbs and, half an hour later, carried a large pack of them into the medicinal bath area.
Pushing the door open, he suddenly froze in place.
In the medicinal pool, a figure lay prone on a stone in the center, back facing the door. Black hair cascaded over a fair and smooth back—a sight that was incredibly striking at first glance…
