Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 367

Sheng Nuan returned to the Imperial Star and had barely stepped through the front door when she heard Sheng Siyang’s wails, “No, I won’t…”

She was startled. “What’s going on? What happened?”

Seeing her, Sheng Siyang’s face lit up with delight, but when he heard Sheng Nuan’s question, he immediately hung his head again. “Mom wants me to go on a blind date.”

Sheng Nuan was amused. “Then go, didn’t you always want a girlfriend?”

In recent times, Sheng Siyang has lost quite a bit of weight. His genes were good to begin with, and now he looked strong and reliable, with prominent brows and eyes. Of course, maybe she was wearing rose-colored glasses since he was her own brother, he looked pleasing to her no matter what.

As she took off her jacket, Sheng Nuan grew curious. “Who are you meeting?”

Sheng Siyang shook his head. “Mom said it’s a secret. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised when I see her.”

Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue sympathetically. “Then good luck.”

Only then did Sheng Siyang realize something. He glanced behind Sheng Nuan. “Where’s that guy?”

Knowing he was asking about Huo Ling, Sheng Nuan answered, “He ran into some of his relatives and went to their place. He probably won’t come to our house for quite a while… He already told Dad.”

Sheng Siyang let out an “Oh” sound. “I see…”

Actually, he had almost gotten used to Huo Ling’s presence these past days. After all, once they had dropped the initial hostilities and got along normally, he felt that Huo Ling wasn’t so bad.

He had no bad intentions toward his sister, so Sheng Siyang could tolerate him.

The next day, Sheng Siyang changed his clothes, styled his hair, and set out by car for the blind date…

In fact, he was a bit uneasy but at the same time, he was also looking forward to it. After all, he genuinely wanted a partner, but he wasn’t very good at dealing with girls, so he’d been single all this time.

So hard…

When he arrived at the designated restaurant, Sheng Siyang straightened his clothes and went in, heading straight for the reserved table. But in the next instant, as soon as he saw the person sitting there, Sheng Siyang froze.

It was actually Su Shui’er!

Because of previous incidents involving Sheng Nuan, Sheng Siyang had zero good impressions of Su Shui’er. He never imagined she would be the one he was meeting.

Su Shui’er was also surprised. Clearly she didn’t know about this in advance either.

Sheng Siyang fought the urge to turn around and leave. For the sake of their elders, he decided to endure and at least have a meal. He was no longer as clueless as before. He knew his parents had it hard, and he didn’t want to be too willful.

“Hello.”

Sheng Siyang walked over and sat down. “Order whatever you want.”

Su Shui’er took a deep breath and spoke coldly, “I’m not here of my own free will. Don’t expect me to get involved with you!”

Su Shui’er’s original target had always been Yuan Shao, but after the Yuan family collapsed, Yuan Shao was now merely a distant nephew boarding at his maternal grandfather’s household. He could still get by, but it was nothing like before.

The Su family would never allow her to be with Yuan Shao, and Su Shui’er herself no longer felt strongly about him.

After all, without his father’s lofty position, Yuan Shao himself was just ordinary… The boyfriend or future husband Su Shui’er wanted either had noble origins or stood out above the rest. And Sheng Siyang in front of her met neither criterion.

Sheng Siyang had already been enduring just to sit down. Seeing Su Shui’er’s haughty attitude now made him laugh in anger. “You think I came here for you? That I’d fancy you?”

Su Shui’er choked. “You…”

“You what? I’ve changed my mind and won’t let you freeload a meal! Do whatever you like!”

Su Shui’er’s face flushed red with anger. She gritted her teeth, rolled her eyes at Sheng Siyang, grabbed her bag, and left without looking back…

Furious, Sheng Siyang ordered a huge spread of delicious food for himself and ate every last bite before going home.

By this time, Sheng Nuan had already learned from customer service that Sheng Siyang’s blind date had failed. She found it both sympathetic and amusing.

Who would have guessed it would be Su Shui’er?

Before long, she saw Sheng Siyang walk in with a droopy head. Before Sheng Nuan could speak, he had already slumped down beside her, hanging his head.

“Sis, do you think I’m completely useless… good for nothing?”

Sheng Nuan raised an eyebrow. “Who said that?”

Sheng Siyang pouted. “No one has to say it. I know it myself…”

Even someone like Su Shui’er looked down on him.

Sheng Nuan patted him. “Come on, I’ll take you somewhere.”

“Where?” Sheng Siyang was curious as he got up and followed her.

Sheng Nuan took Sheng Siyang out and rode a hover car to a certain factory area owned by Sheng Military Industries. After entering, she headed straight for a remote but heavily guarded warehouse at the back.

Entering the warehouse, she placed her hand on the control console. The console recognized her fingerprint, and the lights came on inside. Then, a huge platform slowly rose from the floor.

Seeing the pure white, super-cool-looking mecha on the platform, Sheng Siyang was completely stunned. He stared for a long moment before turning to Sheng Nuan. “This is?”

Sheng Nuan smiled. “Your birthday present.”

Sheng Siyang’s eyes instantly reddened…

This heavy-type mecha was specially designed by Sheng Nuan for Sheng Siyang. Compared to normal models, this heavy armor was like a moving armored war chariot, yet it possessed a mobility that an armored chariot did not.

Sheng Siyang was tall and strong with great strength, but he lacked a bit in agility. Conveniently, this heavy armor did not demand high agility, yet it required significant strength.

Sheng Nuan patted Sheng Siyang. “Go on, give it a try.”

Step by step, Sheng Siyang approached the mecha. In the next moment, the mecha’s cockpit door opened.

In the spacious warehouse, the huge white mecha moved with a humming sound. Facing the simulated targets, its attacks were formidable…

After a while, the mecha stopped. Sheng Siyang exited the cockpit, walked over to Sheng Nuan in a few quick strides, and pulled her into a hug.

“Thank you, Nuan Nuan, really… thank you…”

He vaguely knew what his sister and father were up to and had been depressed that he couldn’t help with anything. He worried he would be the most useless one in the family, a drag on them. He worried his sister would despise him… but now, his sister had given him such a wonderful gift.

Sheng Nuan patted Sheng Siyang. “Alright, you can come here and practice whenever you’re free… Brother, believe in yourself. You’re great.”

Sheng Siyang’s eyes were red as he nodded repeatedly.

In the following days, Sheng Siyang went to the warehouse in the factory district whenever he was free, training by operating the mecha he had named ‘Little Sister.’ It was then that he finally found his sense of self-worth.

It turned out his sister was right. He wasn’t useless or incapable of piloting a mecha; he simply hadn’t found the right weapon for himself.

If anyone else tried to use this heavy armor, they would never be able to adapt to the burden it imposed. But for him, everything was just right… unhurried, heavy, and powerful.

About ten days later, on the very night Sheng Nuan completed the final version of her warship blueprint, customer service suddenly spoke up and reminded her: “Host, Huo Ling is in danger.”

Sheng Nuan paused slightly. “What happened?”

Only then did she learn from customer service that previously, in order to take the rebel army to the pirates as quickly as possible to “rescue her,” Huo Ling had promised the rebel army’s leader, Satan, one condition: to compete for the position of the new leader.

Satan had shown kindness to Huo Ling in the past, and Huo Ling had never intended to become the leader. In the original storyline, he did not participate in this competition.

The method of competition was to clear a planet occupied by the Zerg.

Because that planet lay right between the Alliance and the Zerg, sending a large force would alert the Zerg and provoke a large-scale counterattack. So, the Alliance sent a few special operations teams… but all of them were wiped out.

Later, the Alliance announced the casualties and declared that the planet had completely fallen with no human survivors, then abandoned it.

Now, a broodmother had settled there, attracting even more Zerg to occupy the planet, making it an impregnable fortress.

But not long ago, the rebel army had unexpectedly received a distress signal from that planet. Only then did they realize there were still survivors there.

The rebel army was founded originally to save more humans under the decaying rule of the Alliance. Therefore, this competition to determine the new leader would involve clearing that planet, killing the broodmother, driving away the Zerg, and rescuing the trapped humans.

In the original storyline, three competitors would bring their people to the planet, cooperating yet also competing, honing and testing their temperaments and abilities in the process. Ultimately, whoever killed the broodmother and drove away the Zerg first would become the rebel army’s new leader.

But all of them died on that planet… The Zerg there had a leader with intelligence rivaling that of humans. It set ambushes, causing those competitors and their forces to be completely wiped out.

It was for this reason that, in the original storyline, Huo Ling was forced to take over as leader.

But this time, that day when he broke the rules to bring troops to rescue Sheng Nuan, he agreed to join the competition at Old Chief Satan’s request…
