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

Chapter 444 The Holy Monk Seeks Marriage (48)

Although she didn't initially know Qingxiao's motives, she knew that Li Jin, seemingly a playboy, was actually a very insightful person. Li Jin knew Qingxiao wanted to kill him, yet he didn't consider hiding or fighting back. Shen Yun felt a surge of anger; things shouldn't have been like this. Things were so much better before; why had 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.

Even though it was all for her sake from beginning to end, Shen Yun still didn't understand.

Why should we make the choice for her?

This is her future.

……

Inside the hall, the man's eyes were indifferent, and he was surrounded by a cold aura, devoid of any warmth or human touch.

His gaze seemed to be looking at something, yet it also seemed as if he wasn't looking at anything at all.

He knew that Qingyuan knew of his existence, and the man couldn't help but touch his heart.

At first, he tried to stop her little by little, but he didn't expect to push A-Yuan further and further away.

He didn't know exactly where the problem lay.

But he could sense that A-Yuan really didn't care about him anymore.

The man chuckled twice, then immediately realized that his behavior was rather ridiculous.

To be honest, he should have anticipated this situation.

What's the use of regretting it now?

Ah Yuan is truly a crystal; he was discovered after only making a move once inside the small world, and since then, it has become almost impossible for him to even see what's going on inside.

The man waved his hand, and the scene before him gradually turned into smoke and then disappeared into the air.

His previous idea was probably wrong. Everything in the world develops according to its own laws, and the method of forcibly intervening is not feasible.

The man slowly closed his eyes, and the hall grew even colder.

……

Luo Yu was so shocked by the rumors circulating in the manor that her jaw almost dropped, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the rumors might actually be true.

She thought back to her wedding night, when Jing Mu had never touched her, and they had never even slept together in her room.

Luo Yu had some doubts. It wasn't that she thought she was stunningly beautiful and unparalleled in the world, but rather that a man, faced with her beauty and figure, was not moved in the slightest.

Isn't there a problem with this?
Luo Yu bit her fingers, trying to think of a solution. She couldn't just stay in this courtyard like this. If she were a wife, it would be fine, but as a concubine, and her husband couldn't even show her any affection, then there was really no point in her staying here.

But how can I leave?

She suddenly thought of Jing Mo, and then her eyes lit up. It didn't matter that Jing Mu couldn't have sex, but there was still Jing Mo.

As long as she gets pregnant with Jing Mo's child, both of them will definitely treat her well.

It's a real pity that Jing Mu messed things up during the last hot spring trip; she'll have to come up with another plan.

Shen Yun naturally never expected Luo Yu's imagination to run wild like this.

Everyone knows how to cause trouble, but Shen Yun never expected that Luo Yu would get him drunk and then lie down in the outer room of Si Que's bedroom.

What's even more intriguing is that she was taking a nap in the inner room at the time.

Feeling thirsty after waking up, I prepared to go out for a cup of tea and saw Luo Yu lying diagonally on the soft couch, practically naked.

After all, the thin gauze she wore was almost transparent, making it seem like she wasn't wearing anything at all.

Shen Yun felt even more embarrassed, especially since it wasn't late and she could see Luo Yu's appearance clearly, including the embroidered patterns on the thin gauze.

She was about to break apart.

At this point, she definitely had to say something.

Otherwise, the situation might be difficult to control.

Hearing footsteps, Luo Yu was overjoyed. After thinking for a moment, she loosely pulled back the thin veil covering her, revealing a hint of skin that was incredibly alluring.

After her actions, Shen Yun felt as if the world was about to split open.

Damn it, if you want to get by in life, you need to be cuckolded.

What kind of mess has she made?

Shen Yun's face darkened, and he stood straight in front of her.

Luo Yu didn't open her eyes. She had drunk several jars of wine, and it was true that she was not in her right mind.

Her plan was to use her drunkenness and mistaken identity to cover up her true purpose.

Or just pretend you know nothing.

Even if there is almost no success, it cannot be blamed on her.

Of course, she didn't think the plan would fail.

It wasn't that she was blindly confident, but rather that she felt Jing Mo was a normal man.

She stretched out her long, white legs, adjusted her posture, and tried to present her most beautiful side.

Shen Yun: "What are you doing here?"

Originally, she thought, why should women make things difficult for each other, so she would just bear it and let it pass.

But now, she has changed her mind.

Luo Yu slowly opened her eyes. She felt that the voice sounded familiar, but it didn't seem to be Jing Mo's voice.

But these are Jing Mo's supplies; if it's not his voice, then whose is it?
When she opened her eyes, she was completely stunned.

How did Jing... Jing Mu end up here?

Could it be that she went to the wrong place?

"Second Master, how did you know about this place?" Luo Yu asked anxiously, pulling the thin veil around her neck tighter.

However, this is actually a waste of effort.

Because this garment is basically just for show.

That's why she wore it.

"That's what I should be asking you," Shen Yun said, wiping the sweat from his brow.

After all that commotion, she felt completely awake. She had originally planned to drink some tea and then take a nap.

Luo Yu was thinking of a solution.

Jing Mu looks like he's not very bright.

You can just make up any reason.

However, judging from this, the rumor is indeed true.

Even though she was dressed like this, Jing Mu remained unmoved and had the leisure to care about other things.

What is this if not inhumane?
Having confirmed this idea, Luo Yu felt that his plan was now urgent.

She didn't have many choices. If we go back six months, she could confidently say that if she wanted, her future would be bright and happy.

But things are different now.

Previously, the Liu family still needed to maintain a facade of goodwill, so no matter what, everyone would assume that the Liu family would be her backer.

But now she heard that Liu was spreading rumors about her reputation everywhere.

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?"
