Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 398 The Holy Monk Seeks Marriage (2)

Regardless, she was previously seen as a lady from a respectable family by outsiders, but now, although she hasn't explicitly heard anyone mention her, it's safe to assume that she has no recollection of her in those people's minds.

If she had a good identity, or if her parents hadn't died, she could have lived a good life even if she left this place.

But she didn't.

In this vast world, there is nowhere for her to find refuge.

Everything she wants, she has to fight for and grab herself.

If she hadn't fought for it, she might be struggling to even make ends meet right now.

In order to survive in the Liu family, she offered her body to be with her cousin, trying her best to pretend to be a gentle and refined young lady, but this was not her at all.

She endured loneliness and compromise to survive, only to have Liu Zi die in the end.

Although she didn't have many feelings for this man, he was, after all, the first man she had ever loved, even though he was thinking of giving her away in exchange for the wealth and status of his Liu family.

Whether it was divine intervention or not, he failed and instead lost his life.

But if God really had eyes, why didn't He lend her a hand and let her live such a humble and pitiful life?

"Second Master, don't overthink it. I don't know what happened either. I opened my eyes and I was already here." She tilted her head slightly, then impatiently exposed more of her body.

She was reluctant to do this, because although the man in front of her was her husband, he was also a man who was impotent.

No matter how you look at it, he's the one who wronged her.

If she doesn't resort to scheming, her youth will be lost forever, with no chance of recovery.

The high city walls and the cold courtyard will always be there for her.

She doesn't want this.

Shen Yun's face was grim, but his eyes held a complex expression.

It wasn't that she was angry that Luo Yu was blatantly trying to cheat on her, but rather that Luo Yu was so disdainful of even bothering to come up with a reason.

This is an insult to her intelligence.

Does she really look that unintelligent?

Impossible, her IQ is absolutely phenomenal.

"Yun...Amu, why are you standing so close?"

As soon as Si Que entered the room, he smelled an extremely sweet and cloying scent of cosmetics, and immediately frowned, searching for the source of the smell.

Then he saw Yunyun standing outside wearing only a white nightgown. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a woman next to her who was dressed very provocatively.

He looked closely and realized that this was Luo Yu, Yunyun's ostensible concubine.
Si Que recalled Yunyun's insistence on tearfully butchering the chicken, and suddenly shuddered, his mind racing with wild ideas.

Come to think of it, Yunyun seems to have always been very tolerant of Luo Yu, that shameless bastard. Could it be...?

He didn't dare to think about it too much, so he quickly spoke up to stop the two from looking at each other and walked quickly to him.

"Oh!" Luo Yu pulled over a blanket from the side, looking quite shy.

In reality, she didn't want to hide it at all; she was just putting on an act. With her husband there, she couldn't be too obvious.

There is ample time.

Shen Yun pushed Si Que aside, then glared at him with a forced smile.

This person is affecting her performance.

Now that's good, Luo Yu can use that as an excuse not to answer the questions she asked earlier.

Shen Yun grew angrier the more she thought about it, and turned back to stomp hard on Si Que's foot.

Honestly, the relationship between the two of them seems less like liking or loving, and more like mutual dislike.

Si Que is a blockhead. He's so old, he's grown in every way except his brain.

And then there's what he said.

I have absolutely no idea whether he did it on purpose or not.

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about, especially with that incredibly innocent look on your face, as if to say, "Don't blame me, I was just expressing my opinion."

That look in her eyes makes you want to punch her.

Si Que wanted to say something sarcastic, but after thinking about it, he kept his mouth shut.

To be honest, after Yunyun stepped on him just now, he now wonders if his foot is so painful that he can no longer feel it.

He should probably stay silent. Although he enjoys interacting with Yunyun, it's not this kind of interaction.

Of course, if Yunyun uses this kind of energy at a special time, he will be very happy.

Shen Yun looked at Luo Yu with a cold eye.

If you insult her intelligence, then she's not so willing to be polite anymore.

"You like wearing clothes like this for no reason?" Shen Yun continued, "I remember when we met at the brothel, your cousin said you were from a good family. What? Do all good families dress like this?"

The blush on Luo Yu's face vanished completely, and her face turned as white as if she had applied ten layers of powder.

Still a little stiff.

Shen Yun didn't pay attention to her expression and looked at her indifferently.

"Second Master, is this how you see me?"

Shen Yun noticed that Luo Yu's eyes were filled with tears almost without hesitation, which was quite an achievement.

She suffered a loss; if the world were different, she would definitely have done very well.

Now that you think what she said went too far, then if you're so capable, don't do it in the first place.

That's the world's background. There's definitely a reason why Luo Yu is acting this way. But if a person lives in this world and uses any means necessary just for their own reasons, then what right do they have to be a human being?

Shen Yun gave a weak twitch of her lips, but now that she thought about it, she realized she was being quite hypocritical herself.

Just like her now, if she wants to change her fate, she will probably have to make enemies of many people.

But she also knew that if she didn't change, the gods would disappear, the demons would disappear, and then other races would take the lead, and then Heaven would use the old methods to make the leading race the enemy of the whole world.

Whether she succeeds or not, she has to give it a try.

Luo Yu cried for a long time, but no one came to comfort her, and her face looked even worse.

It was just pale white before, but now it's a bluish-gray.

Shen Yun then poked at her sore spot, "I've always known that the person you like is my older brother, but I thought that no matter what, you would live a life of luxury in my courtyard, so even if you liked him, you probably wouldn't do anything outrageous."

"Heh." Shen Yun snorted coldly, "Luo Yu, I really underestimated you."

"You're really something. It's not even dark yet, and you've already gotten yourself completely drunk, then you run into my older brother's room. Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

"Also, do you like my older brother as a person, or his status as the head of the Jing family? If you simply like him as a person, then why did you marry me?"

"Why would a woman like you, who has sold herself into servitude to bury her father and frequented brothels yet remains pure and innocent, debase yourself and submit to me?"

Luo Yu was truly speechless now.

However, remaining silent does not mean she accepted the accusations.

Luo Yu felt wronged. It wasn't her who wanted to marry into this family; it was this man who wanted to marry her.

Besides, no matter how she refuses, she's just living under someone else's roof; she has no right to refuse.

Thinking this, hatred gradually surfaced in Luo Yu's eyes.

This man married her, said he loved her, but now he's heartlessly blaming her.

Just like Liu Zi, he clearly said he would love her and protect her for a lifetime, but in the end, he still chose to use her as bait.

None of them are reliable; God really doesn't have eyes.

"You are a woman who has sold yourself to bury your father and gone to brothels, yet you are still pure and innocent. Why would you defile yourself and submit to me?" This time, Luo Yu really didn't dare to speak.

However, remaining silent does not mean she accepted the accusations.

Luo Yu felt wronged. It wasn't her who wanted to marry into this family; it was this man who wanted to marry her.

Besides, no matter how she refuses, she's just living under someone else's roof; she has no right to refuse.

Thinking this, hatred gradually surfaced in Luo Yu's eyes.

This man married her, said he loved her, but now he's heartlessly blaming her.

Just like Liu Zi, he clearly said he would love her and protect her for a lifetime, but in the end, he still chose to use her as bait.

None of them are reliable; God really doesn't have eyes.

Why did she end up in this situation despite all her efforts?

Why?
Some people are born to be high above others, with a status that others look up to and countless riches, but for her, her life is as insignificant as grass and as lowly as an ant.

She is not convinced.

But she remained gentle, "Second Master, I really don't understand what you're saying?"

At this point, she absolutely could not admit it, nor could she fall out with this man. Even if she did fall out, she had to wait until she found a good way out.

"If you keep pretending now, it's pointless, Luo Yu. Do you really think I've never been able to see through your thoughts all this time?"

Shen Yun tilted her head and pondered. Could it be that she usually acted too innocently, which gave Luo Yu such an impression?
“There are some things I’m unwilling to investigate, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know them. Your little tricks are harmless to me; I just watch them like a show.”

"Didn't you give me a good show when we went to the hot springs?"

Even if Luo Yu is cunning, she is still young, and her cunning is probably not too bad in the inner quarters of the household.

But this isn't the inner quarters.

She couldn't hold back any longer, gritting her teeth, "Since Second Master already knows, why are you asking me?"

"Furthermore, I'm doing this for Second Master's sake. Second Master is impotent and can't touch women. If he has no children in the future, I can make the sacrifice and give birth to First Master's child. That way, we can claim it's Second Master's child. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?" Luo Yu's gaze gradually moved downwards, then landed on a certain indescribable spot, and he glanced at it with disdain.

Shen Yun: Thank you so much!!!
She gets angry whenever she hears the words "inhuman," but she can't explain it.

What's the use of explanations? Facts speak louder than words.

The problem is, she can't possibly actually have sex with a woman and then prove that she is capable of sexual intercourse.

Shen Yun rolled her eyes at Si Que, clearly annoyed.

This guy was quick to spread rumors, leaving her to clean up the mess.

The thought of being met with strange, disdainful, or pitying looks when she goes out in the future makes Shen Yun feel like she's going bald.

This was truly an unexpected disaster for her.

People sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

However, Luo Yu's logic is quite ruthless.

If—and she meant if—this body really is infertile as she said, and the original body is still inside it.

So, the original owner of this body would probably only feel angry about her actions, but wouldn't choose to refuse.

Human thought is indeed quite strange.

"You think you're actually doing this for my own good?"

Instead of being angry, Shen Yun smiled and said these words to her.

As for Si Que, he slowly took a few steps back. At this moment, he was probably out of the picture.

He might even face retribution later if he speaks up.

To be conservative, he'd better keep quiet.

"Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Second Master is impotent, why would I have gone through all this trouble?"

Shen Yun felt like she was about to laugh out loud.

"In that case, I should thank you."

Luo Yu remained silent this time.

She had been looking in Jing Mo's direction the whole time she was speaking, but the man remained unmoved by her words.

Luo Yu felt a mixture of disbelief and fear.

Judging from Jing Mu's appearance, they should know that the consummation of their marriage that day was fake.

She kept mentioning that Jing Mu was impotent because she wanted to tell Jing Mo that she still had a pure body.

Although in fact, she and her cousin had done everything.

But when the time comes, she can pin the blame on Jing Mu.

The fact that she is unable to have sex does not mean that she will not become psychologically abnormal and use other methods.

Luo Yu's plan was very thorough.

However, the gap between ideals and reality is often huge.

Si Que didn't even speak up for her; he completely ignored the fact that she was even in the room.

His eyes were fixed on Shen Yun.

Shen Yun wasn't stupid; she could naturally feel the fiery gaze falling upon her.

She couldn't help but rub her forehead; wasn't this a little too obvious?

Luo Yu did sense something was amiss, but no matter how hard she tried, she could never have imagined that the two had that kind of relationship.

She didn't continue speaking, but stared straight at Shen Yun with her tearful eyes.

This would likely tempt any normal man.

Both of them are somewhat abnormal.

So she cried for a long time but no one paid any attention, which was quite embarrassing.

After thinking about it for a moment, Shen Yun decided that it would be better to send this guy away to avoid him always causing trouble behind the scenes.

“Luo Yu, it’s a fact that you’re here. I don’t want to ask you why you’re here, and you don’t need to make any excuses for your actions, because I… won’t believe a single word of it.”

Luo Yu's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at her warily. What did she mean by that?
A thought suddenly popped into her mind, and Luo Yu shook her head, feeling that it was somewhat impossible.

No matter what, she was still of use to them.

With this in mind, Luo Yu was taken to the manor by carriage, along with two boxes of silver and various jewelry.

And there's also proof of freedom and a promise.

Luo Yu stared absently at the scenery outside the carriage.

Suddenly remembering what Jing Mu had said, she thought Jing Mu would punish her, but in the end, she only asked her to leave the Jing residence and even gave her a manor.

He also said that if she gets married in the future, he will give her a dowry.

These words were incredibly tempting to Luo Yu.

Although she did not complete her plan, she is now free and has no worries about food and drink in the manor.

Most importantly, she doesn't need to cater to or please anyone; she can simply be herself.

This feeling was quite novel, and it also made her feel very at ease.

The plan had failed repeatedly, and by now, she was no longer disappointed.

Replacement before mid-month
