Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 72
The spacious and elegant flower hall was lined with eight people on either side, all dressed in gray cloaks with hats, making their faces indistinguishable.
At the head of the room sat a man in a dark purple robe, lazily leaning back. He was tall, with strikingly handsome features, and his lips curved in a smile that wasn’t quite a smile as he looked at her, his gaze like a hook, scanning her from head to toe with teasing familiarity.
Sheng Nuan’s scalp prickled, feeling as though she was being stared at by a hungry wolf, and she almost wanted to turn and flee.
There was a suite behind the flower hall that seemed to be a bedroom. Sheng Nuan glanced at it subtly, then turned and gracefully bowed to the man in the purple robe. “What piece would the guest like to hear?”
The man in the purple robe seemed to find her quite amusing, letting out a light chuckle: “Tsk…”
He slowly replied, “What piece would you gentlemen like to hear?”
The next moment, an old voice spoke coldly, “Deal with her, don’t leave traces.”
Two of the gray-cloaked guards immediately turned to Sheng Nuan, their eyes filled with inhuman coldness…
Sheng Nuan’s expression changed, and with a thud, the qin fell from her hands to the ground. Her face turned pale as she trembled, taking a step back. “No, please don’t kill me.”
She begged shakily, “I don’t want any money, I beg you, please don’t kill me.”
But it was clear they had no intention of listening to her pleas. One of them swiftly drew a sword that was as thin as a cicada’s wing.
That sword had claimed countless lives.
Sheng Nuan’s face drained of all color, and she continued to tremble as she backed away until she stumbled near the man in the purple robe… She tripped over the soft mat beside him and was about to fall with a thud.
Yet in that moment, without warning, she suddenly spun around, pulling out a dagger and pressing it against the purple-robed man’s throat, while her other hand locked him in place. Turning to the gray-cloaked men, she grinned.
“Don’t move. I have a weak heart. If you scare me, I might accidentally slit his throat, and you can’t blame me…”
The gray-cloaked men froze.
The man in the purple robe, now held at knifepoint, glanced down at the delicate hand holding the dagger to his neck, then raised his gaze to Sheng Nuan, an expression of mock grievance in his eyes as he said, “My lady has impressive skills. But I wonder, what have I done to offend you?”
He spoke in a sultry manner, making it clear he was not a good person.
Sheng Nuan wasn’t swayed. She sneered, “Where’s the young lady who came in just now?”
Before the man in purple could speak, Sheng Nuan enunciated each word slowly, “Don’t try to trick me. I saw her come in. I have no enmity with you, I just want to rescue someone. So… say one useless word, and I’ll carve a line on that pretty face of yours. Got it?”
The man in purple blinked. “Does the lady also think I’m handsome?”
Sheng Nuan: ……
Is that the point?
She pressed the blade harder against his throat, smiling coldly. “You can try spouting nonsense again.”
The man in purple quickly smiled and pleaded, “Ah, it turns out you’re looking for someone. You should have said so earlier, why resort to violence?”
Could she really be here?
Sheng Nuan felt a flicker of hope in her heart, but just then, everything in front of her blurred… The man, who had been as soft and seductive as a demon just moments ago, suddenly struck without warning.
Sheng Nuan immediately thrust the dagger forward, but her opponent was highly skilled at martial arts. He deftly sidestepped the attack and, with a light movement, tapped her shoulder.
Sheng Nuan felt a sudden numbness in her body and realized that she… had lost all strength.
What kind of monster is this? He’s too strong!
Sheng Nuan cursed with a faint voice and quickly called for help from customer service… Meanwhile, the man in purple effortlessly pulled her into his embrace with one hand, as if it were nothing.
The gray-cloaked men resumed their seats, and one of them, with a cold, aging voice, said, “Master, you should deal with this woman first.”
The man in purple’s expression turned frosty as he looked back with a curious glint in his eyes. “Are you giving me orders?”
The gray-cloaked man stiffened and quickly bowed. “I wouldn’t dare.”
The man in the purple robe curled his lips into a cold smile, then turned back to Sheng Nuan, his expression softening with a gentle smile as he blinked and said, “Girl, the person you’re looking for, who is she to you? For you to risk your life like this…”
Customer service told Sheng Nuan that they were recalibrating the data to activate her combat power and to stall for time.
Because of this, Sheng Nuan changed from her earlier aggressive stance and showed a helpless expression. “That’s my younger sister… If she was reckless and offended you, please be kind and spare her this once.”
Sheng Nuan intended to stall for time, so her attitude was especially pleasant. However, she didn’t expect that just as her words fell, the smile on the man in the purple robe’s face would suddenly disappear.
“It turns out to be a younger sister…”
Sheng Nuan sensed something was wrong. “What…?”
Before she could finish, the man in purple wrapped his arm around her and stood up.
The gray-cloaked man below urgently spoke, “Master, this woman must not be spared!”
The man in purple smiled lightly, his tone casual. “I want to have my fun before killing her, is that a problem?”
The gray-cloaked man was stunned by him, then stopped talking and retreated to his seat.
Sheng Nuan, on the other hand, was carried by the man in purple into the bedroom behind them and directly thrown onto the large bed.
Sheng Nuan was momentarily stunned and instinctively tried to get up.
But as soon as she propped herself up, the man in purple loomed over her, pressing her down. Her wrists were grabbed and pinned above her head.
Sheng Nuan felt a cold dread seep into her heart… Something was clearly not right with this man. He was moody and full of an eerie, demonic aura.
As she urged customer service to hurry, she stalled, “Wait.”
Looking seriously at the man in purple, Sheng Nuan tried to reason with all seriousness, “Look at you, you’re so good-looking. If you touch me, aren’t you just putting yourself at a loss? Don’t you think?”
The man in purple raised an eyebrow slightly and then smirked. “Suffering a loss is a blessing.”
As he spoke, he leaned closer, his breath warm on Sheng Nuan’s neck as he whispered, “And besides… you’re even better-looking.”
Sheng Nuan: ……
Her tone immediately turned cold. “You can’t touch me. I… I belong to the Duke of Zhenbei Manor. I’m the Heir Apparent’s woman. If you touch me, you’re done for!”
The man’s eyes suddenly filled with a chilling coldness. “The Heir Apparent’s woman?”
Sheng Nuan gritted her teeth and said firmly, “That’s right! I’m Xiao Dingcheng’s favored concubine, Liu Rumian… My father is the Minister of Revenue! If you dare lay a finger on me, it will cost you your life!”
For a moment, the man in purple seemed taken aback, then he chuckled amusedly, letting out a sigh. “You really are…”
Before he could finish speaking, it seemed he had finally lost his patience. He grabbed Sheng Nuan’s hand and kissed it.
Sheng Nuan felt her scalp tingle with fear and tried to struggle, but she couldn’t break free… A cool, soft sensation touched her lips, and then her mouth was forcibly pried open in a fierce invasion.
His breath was cold and overpowering. One hand held her wrists above her head while the other wrapped around her waist, trying to undo her clothes with impatience. But just as he was about to, he stopped himself, his hand gripping her waist firmly to prevent her from moving.
This was the first time Sheng Nuan had encountered such a situation, and while her anger was uncontrollable, a wave of fear involuntarily rose in her heart… It was a woman’s instinctive fear in the face of a predatory danger.
At this moment, the man in purple finally released her lips and began kissing down toward her neck, his breath heavy…
Sheng Nuan couldn’t break free and felt the other person’s teeth tearing at her collar, causing her heart to fill with terror as she began trembling uncontrollably…
The man’s actions suddenly paused, and he slowly lifted his head to look at her.
His long, narrow eyes were filled with a deep, dark desire, but seeing Sheng Nuan biting her lip, struggling to hold back tears, he froze. A flash of regret crossed his gaze, and he subconsciously murmured, “Don’t cry, I…”
Before he could finish speaking, the person beneath him suddenly struck his chest with a palm, sending him flying without any warning.
Sheng Nuan finally found the opportunity to take action and struck him away with a palm. She gritted her teeth as she fixed her collar, coldly glaring at the man.
The man looked stunned, clearly surprised that she had regained her strength.
Sheng Nuan wanted to end him right there, but the man was stronger than she was, and there were still many helpers outside. She knew she couldn’t win.
And besides, Xiaoyu wasn’t here. Staying longer would only be a death sentence…
Sheng Nuan gritted her teeth, glared coldly at the man, and jumped out of the window to leave.
After landing outside, Sheng Nuan was both angry and worried… Angry that she couldn’t kill that pervert, and worried about whether Xiaoyu was safe or not.
No, let’s return to the manor first to check…
Sheng Nuan turned to leave, but just then, a voice sounded from behind her, “Sheng Nuan.”
She turned to see Princess Lin’an, accompanied by Su Lan, standing at the entrance of the inn, looking at her in surprise, as though they had just stepped outside.
Princess Lin’an asked, “Why are you here?”
Sheng Nuan snapped out of it and quickly ran over to grab her hand. “Are you okay? Just now…”
Before she could finish, she suddenly froze.
Princess Lin’an looked at her in confusion, but Sheng Nuan felt as though she had been struck by lightning.
She smelled the same scent on Princess Lin’an that had been on the man in the purple robe… a crisp, cold pine scent…
