Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 364

Sheng Nuan remained calm, pretending not to know about the pirates. By the time Huo Ling noticed something was wrong and tried to accelerate to avoid them, they were already surrounded by the pirates.

The other side had launched a huge cruiser, and wave after wave of warships flew out from inside it. Huo Ling’s piloting skills were not bad; he managed to lead that group of pirates in circles for quite some time. However, the difference in strength was too great. In the end, their spaceship was towed into the pirates’ cruiser.

Before long, the ship’s door was violently forced open from the outside.

The moment the hatch slammed onto the ground, inside the cockpit, Sheng Nuan and Huo Ling simultaneously raised their hands in surrender. Their expressions had turned meek, appearing more harmless than the other.

Realizing that they had made the exact same move, they exchanged glances and expressed their uttermost contempt for each other.

The one who came in was a pirate wearing a leather jacket and sporting dyed yellow hair, extremely burly in build. Seeing that there were only two little runts in the cockpit, he frowned and cursed, “Just two brats?”

Damn it, they had just wasted so much fuel chasing them around, and after all that, they only caught two brats!

It was like setting up a cannon only to blow down a single fly… Lately, the ships passing through this area were all Sheng family vessels transporting supplies. He thought he had encountered a fat sheep!

“Hand over all the valuable stuff,” a pirate demanded with a cold snort.

Both Sheng Nuan and Huo Ling cooperated to the extreme. They immediately took out their wallets, and Sheng Nuan even removed her earrings and necklace… She did not remove the two grimy metallic bracelets on her wrists that looked like something a rebellious teenager would wear—they were fastened too tightly.

She gave the pirate a timid, weak smile, “Brother, I’ve worn this since I was a child, it’s not worth anything…”

As if afraid the pirate would not believe her, she quickly thrust her hand up close for him to see.

The pirate glanced at it disdainfully and looked away.

At this moment, the pirate leader spoke coldly, “Just now, which one of you was flying the ship?”

They had wasted half a day of his time!

As soon as the pirate leader finished speaking, Sheng Nuan and Huo Ling, without the slightest hesitation, simultaneously pointed at each other… and then again, they each saw intense disdain in the other’s eyes.

Sheng Nuan gritted her teeth, her eyes filling with tears, “It was obviously you. I told you not to do that, not to waste these big brothers’ time, but you just wouldn’t listen!”

Huo Ling: ……

Huo Ling’s mouth twitched, but he put on an innocent, terrified face, “It was clearly you, Miss. I’m just your lackey, how could I possibly know how to fly a spaceship…”

Sheng Nuan: ……

The pirate leader swept a glance over the two of them, then sneered, “Cut the crap. Take them both away and see if we can make some money off them!”

The two who had just been stabbing each other in the back with their accusations were taken onto the pirates’ cruiser, all the while showing deep contempt for each other’s charade.

Sheng Nuan looked at him, “You have no backbone!”

Huo Ling glanced at the pirates in front and then adopted a pitifully weak look filled with tea, “It’s all this little one’s fault for being useless, unable to protect Miss…”

Sheng Nuan: ……

Soon, they were brought into a huge cabin inside the cruiser. The cabin resembled a colosseum, and inside a sturdy metal cage at the side were seven or eight Zerg, roaring violently in agitation.

Sheng Nuan suddenly had a bad feeling. She looked silently at Huo Ling, only to see his face turn cold as well.

In the next instant, the two of them were pushed into a large cage one after another.

“Three matches. If you survive, you can live until tomorrow…” one of the pirates said with a vicious grin, “You wasted Brother Wolf’s money, so you gotta earn it back for him.”

Below, there was a makeshift gambling setup, with crazed people placing bets.

They were betting on people fighting Zerg…

Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue.

These scoundrels deserved to be taken care of and sent off to a labor camp to dig mines…

At that moment, a small cage was thrown in, containing a ferocious and enraged Zerg. At the same time, two knives were tossed inside for them to use as weapons.

Sheng Nuan made no move to fight. She kicked at Huo Ling, who was imitating her posture, sitting weakly in the corner of the cage, “You go.”

Huo Ling gave her a sideways glance and refused, “I’m scared…”

Sheng Nuan’s mouth twitched slightly, “One favor!”

She was referring to the debt Huo Ling owed her from before.

Huo Ling’s expression stiffened. He looked at her wordlessly for a moment, then tried to haggle, “Two.”

Sheng Nuan did not hesitate, “Deal!”

Huo Ling: ……

A miscalculation. He should have asked for three.

The next second, he stood up reluctantly, picked up the long knife on the ground, and walked a few steps forward… Opposite him, the small cage opened, releasing the Zerg inside. It stood over two meters tall, pitch-black, ugly, and hideous.

The people outside went wild, all waiting to see that delicate pretty boy get torn apart so they could win money.

But in the next instant, they could not believe their eyes. That seemingly weak pretty boy jumped high with the knife. Just before the Zerg’s sturdy claws could grab him, he flipped backward and landed behind the Zerg, driving his blade into the back of the Zerg’s neck…

A Zerg’s joints were its weakest point, but they had never seen a Zerg so fragile before. After being stabbed in the rear neck joint, the bug couldn’t even turn its head. Then they saw the pretty boy land a fierce kick right at the Zerg’s tail vertebra.

With a crack, the Zerg was kicked cleanly in half…

It was over in just a few heartbeats, neat and efficient.

Below, the cheers halted for a moment, then exploded… Those who lost cursed loudly, those who won laughed heartily…

Huo Ling pulled out the knife lodged in the Zerg’s neck, walked back to Sheng Nuan’s side, and sat down again, looking as if he had used up all his strength and could no longer support himself.

Sheng Nuan watched him, speechless…

But immediately afterward, another cage was thrown in, this time with two Zerg inside.

Sheng Nuan spoke up, “Three favors…”

Huo Ling’s mouth twitched, “You come with me!”

Sheng Nuan looked calmly at him, “If I join you this time, next time it might not be just three of them…”

Huo Ling realized this too. He rolled his eyes at this black-hearted woman who was making him do all the fighting and resigned himself to picking up his knife and standing up once again.

The people below started shouting again.

“Quick, kill those two bugs!”

“In your dreams, can’t you see he’s already exhausted… This time I’ll definitely win!”

When the cage opened, the two Zerg let out screeching cries of “cao, cao, cao” and charged at Huo Ling

A single Zerg could be taken by surprise, but Zerg were ultimately physically strong. Facing two at once, Huo Ling had to focus on defense first, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Sheng Nuan noticed that whether dodging or attacking, he always aimed to expend the least amount of energy while dealing the most vicious and effective blows. He was obviously well-experienced in life-and-death combat with Zerg.

Who knew how many life-threatening battles he had endured to hone such a ruthless and efficient fighting style?

A moment later, Huo Ling took a sharp claw from one Zerg to the shoulder to create an opening. He beheaded the other Zerg, then turned and plunged his blade into the abdomen of the one that had wounded him. He jumped up, clamped the Zerg’s head between his feet, and gave a sudden twist, snapping its head clean off…

The cheers and screams below turned even crazier, but hot on their heels, three more Zerg were tossed in…

Huo Ling turned back to look at Sheng Nuan, “You’re still not moving?”

Sheng Nuan gave a sincere smile, “I believe in you!”

Huo Ling could do it, but it was also getting harder.

He gritted his teeth, “Don’t go too far!”

Sheng Nuan paused, then spoke earnestly, “I can’t let them know I can fight too. Only this way can I wait for the right moment to save you when they least expect it and get you out of here!”

Her eyes were full of sincerity, “It’s a matter of life and death, trust me, all right?”

Huo Ling stared at her speechlessly. “You’d better keep your word.”

Sheng Nuan smiled, “Of course…”
