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

Chapter 414 The Holy Monk Seeks Marriage (18)

"Where did this beauty come from? It's truly pitiful to see her in such a predicament." "No matter her circumstances, once she meets our Second Master, she'll live a life of luxury." "Yes, Second Master, why don't you take this young lady in? Having her as a companion would be quite an elegant affair."...

Shen Yun stood there dumbfounded, looking at the group of young masters surrounding him.

She had fair skin and a pale face, dark circles under her eyes, and seemed unsteady on her feet.

This……

And there was the little girl they were talking about, kneeling in front of her.

Next to her was a sign.

"Selling herself into servitude to bury her father".

Oh my God.

Can't you give her some time to process things?

Wait a minute, could the "Second Master" these people are talking about be her?

Shen Yun glanced at himself with trembling eyes. He was dressed as a man, or rather, a man dressed as a woman.

But the original owner of this body is quite bold, going out to philander, no, to have so much fun.

This little girl... Shen Yun looked her up and down. She's not small...

She has a shapely figure, fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs.

I can't hold my saliva in.

wrong!

Shen Yun then realized why she had acted so lewdly.

"Does Second Master wish to keep this humble woman?" The woman kneeling on the ground half-covered her face with a handkerchief, obscuring her features, yet she appeared to be a beautiful woman.

This is probably what beauty in a hazy, dreamlike state is like.

But even if she were a beautiful woman, or even a celestial being descended to earth, it wouldn't matter to her.

"No, thank you," Shen Yun said.

Everyone was shocked by these words.

"Does Second Master think that my looks are not good enough for the Jing family's inner courtyard?" She removed the sleeve that was covering half of her face, revealing a beautiful face with eyes that seemed to shimmer like waves, looking pitiful.

Her skin was as white as putty, so smooth and dewy that it seemed like you could squeeze water out of it if you pinched it.

Shen Yun raised his chin high, his face full of arrogance, "That's not it. Are you sure you come from a poor family? That you need to sell yourself to bury your father, or that someone is using you as a raft to deliberately scheme against me?"

The woman paused in wiping away her tears, then continued, "If you dislike me, Second Master, just say so. Why humiliate me like this? Although I sold myself to bury my father, I still have my own dignity."

The appearance of the word "若" is somewhat illogical.

Wasn't her tone obvious enough?

"Second Master, a beauty's tears are beautiful, but isn't a beauty's smile even more so?"

"If a beauty is like this, why not take her into your arms sooner?"

"Tsk, I'm afraid it's because the eldest master of the Jing family is too strict that the second master doesn't dare to do it."

……

Shen Yun: ...

Who is this Mr. Jing?
Why does her body tremble involuntarily when she hears those four words?

"If you like it, then this time I'll give you a chance to be heroes." Shen Yun looked at the woman's hands without showing any emotion. They were fair and tender, with calluses on them, but only in a few fixed places, as if they were from holding a knife.

The young men looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Well... a gentleman doesn't take what others like. Although we feel sorry for this girl, how can we take what the Second Master likes?"

"That's right, Second Master really makes us all extremely envious."

Shen Yun: ...You're crazy.

Does she need to resort to classical Chinese phrases to subdue this group of demons and monsters?

"No need to be envious, you can do it too. Just reach out your hands, take the money pouches at your waist, and it'll be a piece of cake."

"Besides, I can't afford a girl like that. She wears and uses only the finest things. Even the jade hairpin in her hair is of the highest quality. Why would she need to sell herself to bury her father? That's really something I find strange. Could it be that you guys deliberately put this up to fool me?"

"Enough, enough. Whether it's true or false, I have no interest in it today." Shen Yun took out a folding fan from his waist, held the tip of the fan against her chin, and lifted it slightly, revealing her jade-like skin, which was extremely alluring.

"Clouds yearn for her clothes, flowers for her face; spring breezes caress the balustrade, dew is heavy." With a slight smile, Shen Yun approached her, "Next time you want to fool me, you'd better learn to be more clever. Selling yourself to bury your father isn't like this."

"If you came here on someone's behalf, I'll let it go this time. But if there's a next time, I'll make you pay the price."

"Alright, enough talk. I'm tired too. Let's head back for today." With that, Shen Yun tapped a servant-like man on the head and said, "Lead the way."

The man remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Second Master, I am a servant of the Liu family."

Damn it, I've got the wrong person.

But don't worry, the most important thing at this time is to stay calm.

"What's wrong with the Liu family? Can't we even send them to the master?" Shen Yun looked at him with a sly smile.

When servants seek help, they usually look to their young master.

“It’s your honor to see Second Master off.” Liu Zi bowed slightly and nodded.

Although he dressed like a scholar, he gave off the feeling of a fox spirit.

Shen Yun thought to himself silently.

As she walked back, Shen Yun felt like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

The Jing family home was so big it was almost frightening; it felt like she had walked down a whole street from the entrance to her room.

The key point is that all the maids standing around are stunning beauties.

It was so beautiful that it made her heart flutter.

They are all fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs.

I'm so happy!

"Second Master, I'll head back now. Please get some rest," a servant from the Liu family said hurriedly.

……

"Second Master, why are you only just returning? I've missed you so much my heart is melting."

"Yes, Second Master, we sisters have been waiting for you for so long."

"It's a good thing Second Master didn't bring any beauties back today, otherwise I would have been jealous again."

……

The room was filled with beautiful women.

Shen Yun looked around with sparkling eyes. Was this paradise?
It’s so beautiful!

Is she dreaming?
If so, please don't wake her up.

If not, that would be great.

Shen Yun couldn't resist touching the exposed little hand; it was delicate and tender.

"Second Master touched my hand."

"You shameless slut! The sisters are all here, how dare you seduce Second Master? You shameless bastard!"

"If you want to seduce the Second Master, you'll have to accept the punishment."

Then Shen Yun watched as these women started fighting together.

Pulling hair and picking at nails, they do it all.

This is what wars between women are like.

The feeling was like having a hundred ducks chattering in a room. After the fight, several beauties came over to her.

"Second Master, would you please judge my manners?"

"Why should I judge your conduct? Second Master should be helping me."

"Get out of my way, all of you! What are you trying to do? Trying to get past me?"

"Oh dear, there's no such thing as first come, first served in these matters. As long as Second Master likes it, that's all that matters. As for those who are old and faded, they should be self-aware. Second Master doesn't mind because he's too embarrassed to say it."

...Shen Yun reluctantly shooed away all the women who rushed at him.

"Plot redirection..." The Jing family of Jiangnan is the wealthiest family in this area.

Ten years ago, the Jing family couple went out for a trip but were murdered by thieves.

Everyone thought that the Jing family would decline and fall from its position as the wealthiest business. Unexpectedly, the twelve-year-old adopted son of the Jing couple, Jing Mo, was able to shoulder the responsibility of the Jing family business and manage it in an orderly manner.

The Jing family's business not only did not decline, but it became even more prosperous than before.

The original owner of the body, Jing Mu, was the child born shortly after the Jing family couple adopted Jing Mo. He was weak from a young age, so he was extremely spoiled. However, because the Jing family couple suddenly passed away, and Jing Mo had to shoulder the heavy burden of the Jing family, he was unable to personally teach him.

According to the many servants, the original owner gradually came to believe that her parents' deaths were caused by Jing Mo, who was after the Jing family's wealth.

Jing Mo, being aloof, offered no explanation for the matter.

Although the original owner harbored resentment, deep down she never truly believed the matter and simply wanted an explanation.

It's just that there are two people, one is taciturn and the other is arrogant, which led to this misunderstanding today.

Jing Mu had no power to resist, so he could only express his dissatisfaction in his own way.

His way of life was to seek out women and prostitutes.

The original owner was surrounded by a group of fair-weather friends; to be honest, she was just an ATM.

Because of the original owner's wandering ways, the Jing family's business was occasionally affected, and Jing Mo lectured him several times as a result, which led to the original owner's personality becoming more and more rebellious.

Other wealthy businessmen had long coveted the Jing family's wealth, thinking that after the Jing couple died, they could divide it up among themselves. Little did they know that this was not an easy piece of meat to gnaw on, but rather a precious gem that could only be seen and touched but could not be chewed at all.

So the wealthy merchants each sent their sons out to have affairs with the original owner of the body.

As for the woman who sold herself to bury her father that we just met, her name is Luo Yu, and she is Liu Zi's cousin.

The original owner of this body had an impulsive personality and couldn't help but step in when he saw such things. So all the women in his courtyard were actually women he had rescued on the road.

Some sold themselves to bury their fathers, while others were pure and innocent, unwilling to serve customers and wanting to commit suicide, but were bought by the original owner of the body.

To put it nicely, that's called being kind-hearted; to be honest, he's just a simpleton who believes everything people say.

After Luo Yu was rescued by the original owner and taken into the mansion, he caused chaos throughout the entire Jing family.

She even tried to seduce Jing Mo several times.

Jing Mo knew her true colors and explained them to the original owner, but the original owner's subconscious reaction was to contradict Jing Mo. As a result, Luo Yu was unharmed in the end and could practically do whatever she wanted in the Jing family.

Then, under Liu Zi's instructions, Luo Yu stole the documents from Jing Mo's study.

This caused a major blow to the Jing family's business.

In addition, the original owner of this body was always picking fights with Jing Mo for no reason, saying that he had stolen the power of the Jing family.

In a fit of anger, Jing Mo handed over all real power to Jing Mu. Even so, fearing something might happen to the Jing family, Jing Mo still left a large number of elders for the original owner. As long as they didn't do anything too outrageous, the Jing family, even if it lost its former glory, would not decline.

Then the original owner found fault with each of these old people and dismissed them all. In order to win the favor of the beauty, he also gave all the power in his hands to Luo Yu.

From this point on, the Jing family gradually declined, with no chance of recovery.

Finally, the original owner was kicked out and watched helplessly as Liu Zi embraced Luo Yu and then humiliated him.

Death itself is not frightening; what is frightening is the unknown nature of death.

After being kicked out, the original owner lived in a daze, constantly being beaten by people who came from nowhere. In the end, he died from his injuries.

He had only one wish: to believe in his brother, Jingmo.

……

Shen Yun gazed wistfully at the sky outside the window.

So blue.

Just like her current mood, she felt utterly hopeless.

What a mess!

However, something feels off.

Jing Mu, the youngest son of the Jing family.

If she hadn't discovered it then, he would have killed her long ago.

Although they are fellow disciples, Uncle Li Jin is attached to worldly affairs and is far inferior to Qing Xiao in terms of cultivation.

Although she didn't know Qingxiao's reasons for wanting to make a move at first, she knew that Li Jin, who seemed to be a playboy, was actually the most insightful person.

Knowing that Qingxiao wanted to kill him, Li Jin did not think of avoiding him or fighting back.

Shen Yun felt somewhat angry; this shouldn't be happening.

It was so good before, why has everything changed?

It wasn't until later that she found out the reason, and Li Jin helped Si Que pursue her.

At the time, her relationship with Si Que wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either. That's what she thought, because she found that every time she saw Si Que and was with him, she felt very at ease.

She didn't know if this counted as liking someone, but she felt that she would be happy to be with this person for a long time.

But Qingxiao wanted to kill Lijin because of this trivial matter.

Shen Yun found it hard to connect the two things, because it was simply too absurd.

Shen Yun squinted at him, her brow twitching, and she suddenly felt an indescribable sensation.

"What do you mean?"

Si Que looked somewhat smug. "Isn't it rumored outside that you can't have sex? If that woman hears that, she'll definitely try to find a way to leave."

Shen Yun: ...

This reminded her that she had almost forgotten about it.

well.

how to say.

She's not angry at all now, and she can't ship the goods.

All of this is because she likes this person.

Even if you desperately want to bite off pieces of his flesh, you have to resist the urge to bite.

"It's just something outsiders are spreading. How come I didn't know about it?"

Si Que felt even more guilty, but his guilt was mixed with a bit of confusion.

That shouldn't be the case. He already spread the news; how could he not have heard about it?

He probably didn't realize that it was almost impossible for him to hide his emotions in front of her.

So Shen Yun knew what he was thinking with just one glance.

Forget it, let's just consider it something she owes him.

Sleeping fully clothed was her last act of defiance.

I closed my eyes. The moonlight outside the gauze curtain was faint and not glaring, just a gentle glow.

After a long silence, Shen Yun spoke, "Si Que, once we've finished dealing with things here, let's go check out other places."

She hadn't felt so at ease in a long time, with the person she loved by her side, someone she could reach out and touch, someone she could see just by opening her eyes.

This really made her happy.

Si Que could hardly believe his ears when he heard this. He blankly agreed, "Okay."

Suddenly, Shen Yun felt a cold gaze fall on her, but she did not get up to check.

Instead, he gazed into the void and closed his eyes.

She knew whose gaze it was, cold and aloof.

But so what?
She did owe him for raising her and for protecting her all these years, but in this situation, he had already made his choice between everyone and her.

Now that you're showing signs of regret, what's the point?

She told Si Que that she lost all affection for him because she was rejected after confessing her feelings.

That's not entirely true; being rejected is a fact.

But the truth is not something that can be explained in a few words.

It’s just that they have different paths and don’t seek each other’s will.
