Transmigrating to Woo the Villainous Young Lady - Chapter 38
Meanwhile, Shen Li remained blissfully unaware of the approaching danger, sleeping soundly in the carriage. Occasionally, she could hear the distant howls of wolves in the night.
Yet, nestled in the Young Mistress’s arms, she felt an inexplicable sense of security, with no desire to wake up.
She slept soundly until the break of dawn.
Shen Li groggily opened her eyes, mid-yawn, when the System’s notification chimed in her mind.
Host, today is the Mall Clearance Sale! Everything is discounted. Would you like to check if there’s anything you like?
Shen Li: ……
I thought only supermarkets in the real world had clearance sales. I didn’t realize you guys did this too.
Host, that’s not quite right. Your original world is just one of many primary worlds to us.
While we’ve borrowed some ideas, it’s all for the convenience of Hosts like you to complete your conquest objectives!
Tired of arguing with the System, Shen Li directly opened the Mall. She saw that items previously priced exorbitantly were now heavily discounted, some more than others.
Buying these items now and storing them in her inventory would indeed be much more cost-effective than purchasing them at their regular prices.
Shen Li’s eyes gleamed with desire, her heart pounding with longing.
But alas, her Points balance was rather meager.
After all, she wasn’t living in one of those system-driven business novels, so accumulating vast quantities of Points would be pointless.
After a moment’s thought, Shen Li decisively navigated to the bargain section. There, she discovered several practical items.
Indestructible Protective Shield!
Mall Clearance Sale! Only 2 Points! Can withstand one fatal attack!
Limited stock: 10 units remaining! Hosts, purchase now!
Shen Li’s gaze swept across the various items before landing firmly on the protective shield.
She nearly grinned from ear to ear.
With this, she could court death as much as she pleased and still survive!
For Shen Li, who clung to life with all her might, this was like being handed a pillow the moment she felt sleepy.
Even buying all ten shields would cost only 20 Points, yet these shields could save her life ten times over—more impressive than a nine-tailed fox with its nine lives.
Shen Li immediately made the purchase.
She still had plenty of Points left, and since it was the Mall Clearance Sale, she might as well use them.
Next, Shen Li bought a resurrection elixir. This one was pricier, likely because the protective shield could only be used on herself, making it cheaper.
Medicinal pills that could save others were priced accordingly.
Even with a discount, two bottles of life-saving pills still cost 30 Points.
After this purchase, Shen Li felt like she’d have to chop off her hand. Though she still wanted to buy other things, she knew she couldn’t waste her Points. Buying a bunch of useless items would leave her helpless in a critical moment when she needed to save someone’s life.
After all, Points didn’t grow on trees; she had earned them painstakingly, one by one, by capturing Fu Guiyi’s heart.
System, close.
Only then did Shen Li realize Fu Guiyi had woken up sometime earlier and was watching her intently.
Young Mistress?
Shall I help you dress?
Thank goodness I had my eyes closed just now, Shen Li thought, relieved. She slowly sat up.
Fu Guiyi’s long hair was somewhat disheveled. It needed to be carefully combed with a wooden comb to avoid snagging the strands.
Did you hear any wolf howls last night? Fu Guiyi asked suddenly as Shen Li clumsily began arranging the Young Mistress’s long hair.
I think so, Shen Li replied, remembering hearing faint howls in her dream.
It’s been happening for several days now. Today, I’ll lead the Black Armor Army to eliminate all those wolves.
You should stay in the camp and not go anywhere.
Being followed by hungry wolves was no trivial matter. These starving beasts might ambush the horses while people were asleep or exhausted.
Fu Guiyi’s slender fingers gripped the hem of her robe tightly, struggling to calm her racing heart.
Young Mistress, wolf packs are dangerous. Please be careful.
Especially a pack daring to attack prey far larger than themselves. The Wolf King who made such a decision must be the most ruthless of ruthless wolves.
Shen Li’s soft, gentle warning stirred Fu Guiyi’s heart, which had been as still as an ancient well.
Congratulations, Host!Capture points +2!
Though Shen Li couldn’t see the Young Mistress’s face, she knew her cheeks must be flushed crimson—after all,Capture points had increased!
She pressed another kiss before finally releasing her.
Fu Guiyi didn’t turn back. Instead, she hurried out of the carriage, her steps rushed and unsteady, perhaps due to her flustered state.
She even stumbled slightly as she dismounted. If not for the timely support of a nearby guard, she would have fallen.
Young Mistress, are you injured?
The Black Armor Army soldier’s face was filled with concern, but Fu Guiyi shook her head.
But your face is so red! Could you be catching a cold? Should we have the accompanying physician examine you?
The clueless guard persisted with his questions, showing no tact whatsoever. Finally, Fu Guiyi’s patience snapped, and she shot him a piercing glare.
Her golden eyes burned like those of a ferocious dragon.
If I say it’s not needed, then it’s not needed. You need say no more.
This simple statement sent a chill down the spines of the Black Armor Army, instantly silencing them. No one dared to speak further.
Everyone knew the consequences of crossing the Young Mistress would be dire.
When Fu Guiyi first took command of the Tiger Tally, many doubted her authority. Among them was a capable officer under General Fu’s command.
Wielding a long saber, the officer sneered at Fu Guiyi.
Just a yellow-haired brat? What makes you think you’re fit to wield the Tiger Tally?
If you weren’t the General’s daughter, I’d have kicked you out of the camp long ago and made you a servant for the conscripted soldiers!
But before he could utter another word of mockery, a long arrow pierced through his left eye.
The officer howled in agony.
The wound became severely infected, and no military physician dared treat him.
Though the court attempted to investigate, General Fu’s loyal subordinates rallied to Fu Guiyi’s defense, leaving her unscathed and without consequence.
