Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 347

Sheng Nuan resolved the crisis concerning the desolate planet, barely letting out a sigh of relief. But this was only the first step. More importantly, when Sheng Qingfeng discovered the metal ore on the desolate planet, would he take it seriously enough and keep the news under wraps?

The Sheng family had always been merchants and it took generations of honest hard work to build the business to its current scale. Sheng Qingfeng was kind-hearted and passionately loyal to the Imperial Alliance. At this moment, he hadn’t realized that he had become a juicy piece of meat in the eyes of countless people.

The night before they were to head to the desolate planet, customer service suddenly spoke up: “Host, according to the original plot data, the day after tomorrow Huo Ling will encounter people from the rebel army… and reconnect with them.”

Sheng Nuan was startled.

Rebel army…

No way, Huo Ling still harbored a stomach full of grudges against them.

Sheng Nuan made a snap decision: “I’ll take him to the desolate planet.”

When the time comes, just don’t let him stay with the surveying team. In any case, she couldn’t let him return to the path of rejoining the rebel army.

Sheng Nuan promptly went to find Huo Ling.

She went to the second floor where the guest rooms were and knocked on the door. Moments later, Huo Ling opened it. Seeing that it was her, he was somewhat surprised and asked, “Miss, is there something you need?”

“Tomorrow, my dad and I are going out to a desolate planet. You should come along too. Consider it a trip out.”

Sheng Nuan’s expression was calm, but Huo Ling’s heart tightened suddenly.

A desolate planet?

He didn’t think Sheng Nuan would kindly want to take him out for fun… Could it be that she wanted to find a remote, uninhabited planet to get rid of him?

Those two fools of the Sheng family were capable of anything.

Huo Ling showed a troubled expression and shook his head. “My legs are a bit inconvenient. I think I’ll pass.”

Sheng Nuan raised an eyebrow. “It’s not like I’m asking you to climb a mountain. What’s there to be afraid of going out for a walk? It’s settled then.”

Huo Ling’s heart sank. He paused, looked at Sheng Nuan, and said in a low voice, “Then I need to inform some friends. I had originally planned to celebrate Chu Yun’s birthday tomorrow. If I can’t make it, I need to explain.”

The implication was: Don’t think you can deal with me without anyone knowing. Someone will be aware.

After Huo Ling finished speaking, he saw Sheng Nuan completely unconcerned. “That’s your business, do whatever you want.”

After speaking, she turned and left, as if she didn’t care… It was hard to tell whether she didn’t catch his underlying message or if she really had no bad intentions.

To be safe, Huo Ling still informed Chu Yun and a few others. Since the next day was Saturday and he didn’t need to request leave from school, Huo Ling thought about it and still sent a message to his homeroom teacher, notifying him under the pretense of worrying he might not make it back by Monday and wanted to request leave in advance.

Early the next morning, Sheng Nuan took Huo Ling and Sheng Qingfeng to set off for the spaceport…

Sheng Siyang had originally wanted to go too, but the desolate planet required three consecutive warp jumps to reach, and he would get nauseous during warp. In the end, he could only choose to stay home.

Before Sheng Nuan left, he repeatedly instructed the accompanying bodyguard captain, Han Yi, to keep a good eye on her.

Han Yi was Aunt Liu’s son. Many years ago, Aunt Liu had smuggled into the country with three-year-old Han Yi and ended up wandering the streets. Mi Rong, seeing their plight, took them in. Since then, Aunt Liu and Han Yi, who grew up in the Sheng family, have been loyal to them.

Like many nobles on Imperial Star, Han Yi had the opportunity to study at White Silver Academy. After graduation, he could have had better prospects, but he insisted on staying with the Sheng family to repay their kindness.

Hearing Sheng Siyang’s instructions, Han Yi smiled and assured him, “Don’t worry, Young Master. Even if you didn’t say so, I would take good care of her. Otherwise, my mom wouldn’t let me off.”

In the morning, Sheng Nuan took Huo Ling and Sheng Qingfeng to depart together on a long-distance spaceship. By around one in the afternoon, they arrived at the desolate planet.

This desolate planet wasn’t large. Besides being too remote, there was nothing else wrong with it.

At the time of auction, the desolate planet had already undergone preliminary surveying, confirming it didn’t have much value, so it was sold at a low price.

But typically, after purchasing, one would conduct a second survey themselves.

Sheng Qingfeng organized the surveying team’s work and waited in a temporary prefab office nearby. Sheng Nuan, on the other hand, took Huo Ling wandering elsewhere, with Han Yi and two armed bodyguards following behind for protection.

Although this desolate planet had been confirmed to have no danger sources, as bodyguards, they always believed in sailing a ship for ten thousand years safely¹.

Huo Ling followed behind Sheng Nuan, watching as she walked farther and farther from the campsite, his brows slowly knitting together.

What on earth was this idiot trying to do?

Looking for a place to bury him?

That would be really stupid… Although she wasn’t the brightest, at least she had barely normal intelligence and shouldn’t do something like this…

At this moment, Sheng Nuan paused slightly.

Because customer service told her that not far ahead there was Blue Star Grass.

Sheng Nuan paused, then continued forward until she stopped in front of a canyon-like crevice. Sure enough, she saw a bluish-purple flower faintly visible in the crack below.

The key was that tiny specks of bluish-purple pollen were slowly drifting out from the canyon, visible to the naked eye… It was undoubtedly Blue Star Grass.

Sheng Nuan called Han Yi over, “Look, is that Blue Star Grass?”

Huo Ling was on high alert; suddenly hearing Sheng Nuan’s words, his heart jolted. He instinctively followed the direction of her pointing finger, and his expression changed.

It was actually Blue Star Grass—his leg could be saved!

Han Yi’s eyes also lit up, and he immediately stepped forward. “I’ll go pick it…”

The crevice was narrow for an adult man, but if careful, he should be able to squeeze down… But at that moment, Sheng Nuan yanked Han Yi back. Then he saw a purple snake suddenly poke its head out from the canyon.

Purple Flower Snake, fond of eating the fruit of Blue Star Grass, highly venomous!

That snake had been hiding under the crevice and no one had noticed. Han Yi had almost fallen prey…

“Thank you, Miss.”

Han Yi swiftly drew the dagger from his thigh and slowly approached… But in the next instant, the snake cleverly retreated, hiding back into the canyon.

They couldn’t see it, but they knew that the Purple Flower Snake was there guarding the Blue Star Grass. Moreover, Blue Star Grass feared heat, so they couldn’t use thermal weapons.

Han Yi began removing his gear. “Get someone to lower me down with a rope. I’ll go check…”

Sheng Nuan stopped him. “Enough. In such a narrow space, you’d get stuck with nowhere to hide.”

Beside them, Huo Ling pressed his lips, staring intently at the Blue Star Grass in the crevice. Then he turned to Sheng Nuan and said, “Lower me down, I’ll go!”

With a chance to heal his leg, how could he give it up?

Sheng Nuan glanced at his leg. “You? Are you sure?”

Huo Ling insisted, “I’m sure.”

As soon as he finished speaking, hissing sounds arose, and everyone saw several snake heads poking out from the canyon, hissing and flicking their tongues as they watched them… A quick glance showed at least seven or eight.

Turns out it was a whole family!

Huo Ling’s expression instantly stiffened.

One snake was manageable, but this many…

Sheng Nuan walked to the edge of the crevice and looked down. The Blue Star Grass was about four or five meters from the top… In the next instant, without warning, she jumped down.

Han Yi was shocked, “Miss!”

Huo Ling also froze abruptly.

Sheng Nuan, slender in build, jumped down and landed directly below the Blue Star Grass. With her feet braced against both sides of the canyon, she grabbed the Blue Star Grass into her hand…

Not only were the people above stunned, but even the snakes only now realized that the fruit they’d been guarding for days had been snatched. Instantly, they hissed menacingly and slithered toward her.

Sheng Nuan turned and ran along the crevice. After a few steps, she kicked off the side walls and leaped out.

Only someone as slender as her could move so freely. If Han Yi or the bodyguards had gone down, they would likely have gotten stuck there.

Sheng Nuan jumped up, cheerfully dusting off the dirt on her clothes. Han Yi was already pale with shock and hurried forward a few steps. “Miss, are you alright?”

“I’m fine. You’re underestimating me.”

Sheng Nuan walked up to Huo Ling, waved the Blue Star Grass in her hand at him, and smirked, “Your leg can be saved.”

Huo Ling glanced at Sheng Nuan, whose clothes and hair were smeared with dirt. His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he softly said, “Thank you, Miss.”

Sheng Nuan waved her hand. “Let’s not talk in circles. With this Blue Star Grass, how about we write off our past grievances?”

A strange light flashed in Huo Ling’s eyes. Then, with a humble expression and a soft tone, he said, “The Miss is joking. The Sheng family took me in, let me attend school, and treated my injuries. There’s only kindness, no grievances…”

Sheng Nuan secretly clicked her tongue.

Poor Du Cheng was still lying in the hospital missing half his body, and you can still say that?

A future major villain who repays every slight… As if I’d believe you.

She handed the Blue Star Grass into Huo Ling’s hand. “Remember my words—let’s write it all off…”

Huo Ling looked at her, his gaze gentle and innocent…
