Cen Xi never imagined that going out to worship Buddha and utter a complaint would make her trendy, becoming a transmigrator.
Others transmigrate to become rich young ladies, or empresses, or...
After gritting her teeth and roaring, Wen Qiyu looked at Zhu Yanniang with eyes that seemed to warn her of being a wolf.
"Is that thing so precious? I haven't been with a man in ages, you know. If you don't give it to me, I'll sleep with you and ruin your virginity."
When Zhu Yanniang met Wen Qiyu's menacing gaze, she was immediately speechless with anger. Her mind raced as she began to scrutinize Wen Qiyu.
Speaking of which, she hasn't gotten her revenge since that little chick touched me last time. It's just a few snakes, why is she more nervous than if she were eating people?
You! Shameless!
When she saw the wolf-like gaze shooting at her, Wen Qiyu was so frightened that her legs trembled.
This woman's numerous misdeeds are enough for any江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the underworld) to list. What if she really has designs on him?
His martial arts skills are not as good as this woman's.
Isn't he letting a wolf into the house?
“That’s shameless. I’ll give you three choices: First, take the snake out of your arms and let me make soup with it. Second, I’ll eat you. Third, if you want to keep your snake and yourself, then go hunt wild animals for me.”
Zhu Yanniang crossed her arms and stared at him threateningly.
"I choose number... third! But I'm scared to be alone, so you have to come with me."
Wen Qiyu's survival instinct is off the charts, and hunting wild animals is definitely the best option.
"Alright! I'm also afraid you'll get lost and won't be able to find anyone to exploit. We'd better hunt down a wild animal within an hour, or we won't be able to keep the snake in your arms."
Zhu Yanniang gave a faint reply and then walked ahead.
Wen Qiyu could only follow her like a wronged wife.
They searched for a long time and were almost about to give up when they finally spotted a wild boar deep in a dense forest.
Zhu Yanniang gestured to Wen Qiyu, not instructing him to move, and then pierced the wild boar's abdomen with her sword. The movement was clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation.
"Hahaha! Lady Zhu is awesome! I knew it was the right decision to bring you. It seems we've been eating nothing but bland food. After all these days, Heaven hasn't given up on us. Finally, we've been given a meal of meat."
The moment the wild boar collapsed, Wen Qiyu danced with joy and rushed over to see if the boar was dead.
"You're in charge of slaughtering the pig and removing the hair, and I'll start the fire and roast the meat."
Zhu Yanniang rolled her eyes haughtily and went to gather firewood.
"Alright, alright, I still have some seasoning in my bag. As long as you keep going this fast and don't let us go hungry, I'll take care of you however you want, young master."
Wen Qiyu's eyes lit up as she looked at the pig, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.
"You'll do whatever you want to please me? How about sleeping with me? You know I haven't been with a man in a long time."
Seeing how obsequious he was, Zhu Yanniang suddenly felt like teasing him.
"Sister Zhu, Sister Zhu, please stop teasing me. I know you have someone you like and want to remain chaste for him. Besides, how could I, a mere innocent girl, possibly be of any use to you? Please, just leave me alone, okay? Stop making jokes like this, alright?"
Wen Qiyu felt like crying but had no tears left. When he first came in, he was cool, domineering, and arrogant, but now he was helpless and could only be bullied.
"Even if I like that person, I can't defile him. But you're different. You're just a little hooligan. Even if I sleep with you, I won't be sleepy."
Zhu Yanniang hadn't used her flirting skills in a long time, and although she was a bit rusty, at least she had the skill. She really wanted to bully Wen Qiyu's nonchalant attitude.
And their own behavior reflected this.
"When did I become a hooligan? I have absolutely no interest in women. I am a playboy. Please call me a playboy, not a hooligan."
Wen Qiyu skillfully butchered the pig while equally shrewdly retorting to her.
"Pfft! Someone actually calls themselves a playboy! Fine, I give up, I won't tease you anymore."
Upon hearing his words, Zhu Yanniang couldn't help but chuckle and abandoned her teasing intentions.
"Sister Zhu, actually, after spending these past few days with you, I've found that you're cold on the outside but kind on the inside, and not as bad as outsiders say. There must be some story behind you, right? Is the reason you're taking revenge on men because your ex-husband hurt you?"
Wen Qiyu could always sense a kind of desolation in her. Now that the two of them had to slaughter pigs and roast meat together, the place would be too quiet if they didn't talk about something, so he asked a question.
"Yes, the man I married was a scholar. After he became an official, he looked down on me, the daughter of a merchant. Then he kept finding fault with me. No matter what I did, it was wrong because he wanted to kick me out and marry someone who was worthy of his status. So he schemed against me in every way. In the end, when I left their house, I was beaten half to death and thrown into a mass grave."
"If it weren't for the sect leader of the Su Nu Sect saving me, I'm afraid I would have rotted in the mass grave and become a pile of bones long ago."
"Later, the old sect leader passed away and handed the Su Nu Sect over to me. In order to take revenge on all the unfaithful men in the world and to rescue those sisters who were suffering in dire straits, I did some outrageous things. In the end, it became what you see here!"
After gathering a pile of branches, Zhu Yanniang leaned against the trunk of a large tree, lazily reminiscing about her past.
"So, young master, I can understand why you're frequenting brothels. I admire your behavior, but falling in love with another man at the end was a mistake."
Looking at the other woman's intense, unyielding eyes, Wen Qiyu praised her for the first time, but then his words were tinged with disdain.
"Yes! He just took care of me for two months, and I was so moved that I no longer wanted to accomplish my grand ambitions. In fact, I was obsessed with getting him, and I even went so far as to seduce the woman he liked."
"And that woman is still my most admired friend. Wen Qiyu, don't you think I'm a contradictory person?"
As if opening a floodgate, Zhu Yanniang calmly recounted everything buried deep in his heart.
"What you did was really despicable, not dashing at all. I think you even betrayed your original intention. Killing all the unfaithful men in the world is such a heroic feat, but you gave it up for a man and broke your friend's heart. You are really shameless."
Wen Qiyu took a closer look at the beautiful woman leaning against the tree and criticized her disdainfully.
"Little brat, what do you know? All you care about is your snake. Do you even understand love between men and women? And you call me shameless. Even if I am shameless, it's not your place to call me that, is it? Watch out, or I'll sleep with you in the middle of the night."
Zhu Yanniang scoffed when she saw the boy openly cursing her, and then threatened him without any politeness.
"Ah! Oh ho ho! Sister Zhu, you scolded me too harshly. I accidentally cut my hand, and now I'm afraid I can't slaughter pigs. Here! You do it yourself, I need to take good care of my injury."
Wen Qiyu's scalp tingled from his insults, and the knife flashed, slashing his right palm.
