Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 366

Not long after, all the pirates were gathered in that same colosseum-like place from before.

The Zerg inside the cage had already been killed by the laser guns on the walls. Now, every single one of them was held at gunpoint by the thermal weapons inside their own ship. None of them dared to move.

Who the hell knew what was going on— their own ship had rebelled against them.

That woman was like a ghost. Whichever weapon on the ship she wanted to fire would fire, whichever door she wanted to lock would lock. She had directly taken control of the entire ship.

The bodies of their companions outside were the best deterrent. At this moment, aside from those whom the woman had deliberately sent out on patrol, all pirates had been disarmed, trembling as they stood below the platform.

Their pirate leader lay up on the stage without any sign of life… and that terrifying woman now stood there openly and confidently.

Sheng Nuan’s armor reverted into a pair of gloves. At this moment, with one hand on her hip, and the other pointing at those colorfully dressed pirates below, she said, “Robbing travelers, eating and waiting for death, thinking of nothing but getting something for nothing every day… don’t you feel any shame?”

Someone asked sullenly, “What’s shame?”

Sheng Nuan choked… It seemed they truly didn’t understand.

Someone else who did understand tried to defend themselves, “Our homeland was destroyed, no one cares about us. Are we supposed to just starve to death?”

“Yeah, how are we getting something for nothing? Being a pirate is exhausting and dangerous. This is a high-pressure, high-risk job!”

Sheng Nuan: ……

Why didn’t it just kill you from exhaustion?

Another one spoke with righteous indignation, “We rely on our own abilities to rob. Why should we feel shame?”

Sheng Nuan: ……

Fine, she gave up on reasoning.

Immediately after, she switched tactics. “I know you’ve got nowhere else to go, but wrong is wrong. Look at those evildoers who committed all sorts of crimes. They ended up dead with no way out…”

No one below said anything. Many were puzzled—how did this woman know exactly who among them was the worst and managed to eliminate them so precisely?

Sheng Nuan raised and lowered her tone, “Now, I’ve decided to give you all a chance to start over…”

Chaos erupted below once more.

“What do you mean by start over?”

“How are we not human? Pirates are still people, we can be killed but not humiliated!”

Sheng Nuan raised her hand, and the surrounding guns clicked into place, pointing at the man who had just shouted about refusing humiliation. He immediately dropped to his knees…

Only then did Sheng Nuan continue, “Right now, there is a planet, just like a paradise…”

At this moment, the cruiser suddenly jolted. Sheng Nuan was enraged.

Could she not even finish her speech?!

Taking a deep breath, she asked customer service: “What’s going on?”

The customer service paused, its tone numb: “Huo Ling has brought the rebel army back here.”

Sheng Nuan was instantly dumbfounded… So soon?

It was all these uncultured idiots’ fault. She didn’t even get to finish her motivational speech…

Obviously, this pirate ship was no match for the rebel army. In no time at all, they were swiftly suppressed.

Sheng Nuan looked frantically up, down, left, and right, unable to find a place to hide. She simply walked up to a few pirates and threatened through gritted teeth, “Hurry, capture me!”

Those pirates instantly sensed something off. They warily backed up a few steps, their eyes clearly saying: Don’t try to trick us!

Seeing Sheng Nuan step forward again, they all kneeled down with a thud.

“Who the hell was the one who just said that you could kill them but not humiliate them? You all kneel so fast!”

She raised her hand, about to smack them. Just then, the cabin door was blasted open with a bang… She was startled and turned around, only to see Huo Ling leading a fully armed rebel squad rushing in with murderous intent.

Their gazes met, and Huo Ling abruptly froze, frowning… At the same time, the aura around him became increasingly cold and menacing.

Sheng Nuan glanced back to see that the useless pirates were all kneeling on the ground.

Huo Ling approached expressionlessly. Sheng Nuan clasped her hands together, “Ah, it’s great that you’re okay. You really came to rescue me. I knew you wouldn’t leave me behind, I’m so very touched…”

Huo Ling’s face remained blank, “Go on, keep acting…”

She chuckled dryly, “I can explain…”

Without a word, Huo Ling loaded the bullets into the gun in his hand.

Sheng Nuan immediately raised her hands in surrender, speaking rapidly, “I was wrong, it’s my fault, I’m sorry, forgive me!”

Huo Ling curled his lips slightly, “Very good. You tricked me again. You’re quite capable.”

Recalling how he had just risked everything to demand her release from the leader, Huo Ling’s teeth itched with hatred…

Seeing Huo Ling’s expression, Sheng Nuan grinned sheepishly, “Well, I really can explain this time.”

Huo Ling nodded, “If there’s one more word of lie, I’ll kill you on the spot.”

The pirates had already been escorted out… After all this trouble, being driven half-mad by this group of stupid idiots, in the end, she still ended up drawing water with a bamboo basket¹. Sheng Nuan sighed, “Actually, I just didn’t want you to compete with me for manpower. So many strong laborers—I wanted to bring them along for infrastructure work.”

Huo Ling silently observed her. Sheng Nuan raised her hand and swore, “I’m not lying this time.”

Only then did Huo Ling put away his gun. He grabbed her wrist and walked out expressionlessly. Sheng Nuan tutted, “So you lost your vest² and decided to break the cracked pot³, huh? Leading the rebel army openly. Aren’t you afraid of being spotted?”

Huo Ling stopped, showing no expression, “I will not return to the Imperial Star anymore, so it doesn’t matter.”

Sheng Nuan paused, then shrugged, “Oh right, I almost forgot.”

Huo Ling gave her a sideways look. Sheng Nuan forced a dry laugh…

She had originally thought Huo Ling would recruit this group of pirates, but to her surprise, he sent her off to Nuanyang Star along with the pirates.

The pirates without weapons were nothing more than a group of uneducated second-rate individuals, standing on the high platform of the construction site with guns pointed at them. Each one held their necks out defiantly, as if they would never surrender until death.

Han Yi stood there expressionlessly, “Starting today, you will undergo labor reform on Nuanyang Star…”

The pirates, as if they had conspired together, flexed their necks and shouted, “Pirates will never be slaves…”

After Han Yi finished his second sentence, he continued, “…working eight hours a day, families can join, provided with food and accommodation.”

The only difference from residents was that there was no salary.

After all, it was labor reform camp…

After hearing the second part of Han Yi’s words, the pirates instantly froze.

Eight hours? Can bring families? And provide food and accommodation?

The skinny guy who had previously said, “Can kill but not humiliate,” and had knelt down when a gun was pointed at him, immediately threw his fist and shouted, “…Unless there’s food and accommodation!”

“Pirates will never be slaves… Unless there’s food and accommodation!”

What the hell, suddenly they’ve transformed from pirates into employed individuals who are provided with food and accommodation, and can bring their families. Who would still want to be a pirate!

Sheng Nuan had originally planned to train this group of desperadoes into the first batch of soldiers using mecha, but now she had given up on that idea.

These people didn’t seem to be very smart, so let’s forget it.

Previously, when she encountered the pirate ship, she had secretly sent a message home, saying she and Huo Ling were going out for fun. So her family had no idea what she was actually up to. It was time to go back now.

Huo Ling also needed to return to the rebel army’s headquarters…

At the spaceport lounge, by the pirate ship now under the rebel army’s control, Huo Ling still wore a blank face, obviously still angry.

Sheng Nuan sidled up with a grin, “Tsk, still mad?”

Huo Ling rolled his eyes at her and said nothing.

Sheng Nuan pondered for a moment and tested, “How about… letting you touch once, so you won’t be angry anymore?”

Huo Ling suddenly stiffened, his Adam’s apple bobbing, then spoke stiffly, “I’m not that kind of person…”

Before he could finish, Sheng Nuan took hold of his wrist and lifted his hand.

Huo Ling averted his gaze, “But considering your sincere apology, it’s not… impossible…”

In the next moment, Sheng Nuan’s muffled laughter was heard.

Realizing he’d been tricked again, Huo Ling glared and tried to withdraw his hand. But Sheng Nuan held onto it. Then he saw her slip her inconspicuous bracelet onto his wrist.

When worn on her wrist, it had fit perfectly, and on his wrist, it also adjusted perfectly to size.

After putting both bracelets on Huo Ling’s arms, Sheng Nuan took out a hidden earpiece and clipped it to his ear. She then spoke, “Hi, Classmate Xiao Huo.”

Xiao Huo?

Huo Ling pressed his lips together, eyeing her. At this moment, he heard a mechanical boyish voice in the earpiece, “Hello, Miss Sheng. At your service.”

Sheng Nuan said, “Let’s get to know your new master.”

Then she smiled at Huo Ling, “You can rename it if you like…”

Huo Ling paused, then tried hesitantly, “Hi, Little Liar.”

Sheng Nuan was amused, “Who are you implying?”

The mechanical voice turned into a cute, sweet girl’s voice: “Hello, sir. Little Liar is at your service…”

In the next instant, Huo Ling saw the pair of bracelets activate. In a flash, they covered his entire body. A display appeared before his eyes, showing controls for power, weapons, and more…

Huo Ling froze for a moment before retracting the armor.

Looking at the unremarkable bracelets, he pressed his lips together and asked quietly, “You’re giving these to me?”

Sheng Nuan smiled brilliantly, “Yes. A boy who’s so easily tricked isn’t safe wandering around outside. I’m giving you a set of armor for self-defense. This is a free gift. No need for a written agreement.”

Looking at Sheng Nuan, who was smiling brightly, Huo Ling’s lips tightened.

His communicator rang—his troops were urging him to depart. Huo Ling paused and said, “I’m leaving now.”

Sheng Nuan waved, “I wish you all the best.”

Huo Ling answered softly, turning to leave. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and wrapped Sheng Nuan in his arms.

He hugged her, then released her, gazing at her with pursed lips.

Sheng Nuan raised an eyebrow, “What?”

Then Huo Ling coughed lightly, his eyes drifting, “Next time we meet… can I touch you again?”

Before he could finish, Sheng Nuan kicked him square in the chest, making him stagger back a few steps. Huo Ling let out a low chuckle, gave her a deep, meaningful look, and then turned to leave…
