Simultaneous Transmigration: The Re-merging of 99 Selves

Chapter 178 Bai Qing'er

The servants and maids under the eaves caught sight of Zhao Yu pulling Qing'er into the room, and they all wisely lowered their heads, but a hint of envy was hidden in their eyes.

The steward is a young hero with unparalleled martial arts skills. Now he personally led Miss Qing'er into the inner hall and even used his internal energy to heal her injuries. This is clearly an attempt to elevate her status.

From now on, Qing'er's status will be different.

Once inside, Zhao Yu dismissed everyone around him and closed the door behind him.

Qing'er stood in the center of the room, her cheeks flushed, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes: "Steward—this servant...this servant has been menstruating these past few days and is feeling unwell. If the steward would have mercy, could...could she postpone her period for a while—"

As she spoke, she lowered her head even further, her ears turning bright red, looking extremely shy.

An ordinary man, upon seeing such a tender and charming demeanor, would probably have already been captivated.

But when Zhao Yu looked at her, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Tian Kui Zhi?" He walked slowly to her, his gaze falling on Qing'er's face. "Even now, are you still going to pretend?"

Qing'er's body stiffened abruptly. She raised her head, her eyes filled with astonishment and panic: "Steward—what, what did you say? This servant doesn't understand—"

Zhao Yu examined her closely and couldn't help but admire her acting skills; he couldn't see the slightest flaw in her performance.

She seemed to have been framed, her fear tinged with a hint of grievance, making her all the more pitiful.

If this were in modern times, she would definitely be a potential movie queen.

If Zhao Yu hadn't been 100% certain that she had a problem, he might have wondered if he had made a mistake.

"Don't you understand?" Zhao Yu chuckled, reaching out to pinch her chin, forcing her to look up at him. "Just now, Shi Zhixuan attacked the house, and in my haste, I pushed you away."

"You seemed stunned by the shock, yet your movements to deflect the force were flawless. An ordinary person caught in such a blast at close range would at least suffer broken bones, but you merely sat down on the ground, completely unharmed. How could you do that without superior internal energy protecting you?"

"You're usually quite adept at concealing your presence; I didn't notice a thing before. But Shi Zhixuan's sudden attack probably exceeded your expectations, didn't it? Did you think you could hide the flaws you revealed in your panic from me?"

His tone gradually turned cold: "Speak, who sent you? A woman who can cultivate her internal energy to such a level and still deceive my senses is definitely not an ordinary person."

Zhao Yu had no choice but to be cautious. If he hadn't noticed before the fusion, it might have been understandable.

After the fusion, Zhao Yu was able to spar with Shi Zhixuan, but he still didn't find any problems when he first met Qing'er.

If Shi Zhixuan hadn't suddenly appeared, Zhao Yu wouldn't have been able to spot the flaw.

Isn't it terrifying to have someone like that hiding around you?

Qing'er's face turned pale and then red. She bit her lip, her eyes reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Steward, you've really misunderstood. This servant only learned some basic farming skills from my father when I was young. I'm really not a martial arts master at all."

"A mere farmer's apprentice?" Zhao Yu's eyes turned cold. He raised his hand, channeling his inner energy, a faint white light emanating from his palm. "It seems you won't tell the truth unless you make a move. Will you make me take action, or will you obediently tell me yourself?"

His skill was so profound that he held his own against Shi Zhixuan in their fierce battle. If it came to a real fight, Qing'er would be utterly powerless to resist.

Qing'er looked at the true energy in his palm and knew she couldn't deny it anymore.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly let out a charming laugh, and her entire demeanor changed abruptly.

The timidity and shyness from before vanished, replaced by a captivating charm in her eyes, her gaze alluring and mesmerizing.

Instead of dodging, she followed Zhao Yu's hand and softly leaned into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, her breath sweet as orchids: "The steward is really clever. I originally wanted to play with the steward for a while longer, but I was seen through so quickly. How boring."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently wiped her cheek.

It's unclear what technique was used, but her originally delicate and ordinary face instantly transformed, revealing her true appearance.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, and the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, giving her a natural charm.

Her skin was as white as snow, her lips were light in color, and there was a hint of youthful innocence hidden between her brows.

She possesses a perfect blend of purity and allure, making her captivating at first glance.

"This humble servant, Bai Qing'er, greets the head steward."

She spoke softly, her voice sweet: "I am originally a member of the Yin Kui Sect. I was ordered to infiltrate Huainan to investigate the various forces. Seeing that the Chief Steward is exceptionally talented and has the potential to contend for the world, I specially infiltrated his side to observe him closely."

Her fingertips lightly traced Zhao Yu's chest, her eyes alluring: "Steward, you possess the ability to conquer the world. If you are willing to cooperate with my Yin Kui Sect, I am willing to persuade my sect to fully assist you. With the support of my Holy Sect, your conquest of Jiangnan and the unification of the world will be twice as easy. What do you say, Steward?"

"A disciple of the Yin Kui Sect?" Zhao Yu sneered, reaching out to grab her wrist and applying slight pressure. "A disciple of the esteemed Empress Zhu Yuyan, claiming to be just an ordinary disciple—isn't that a bit too modest?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Qing'er's eyes, then her smile became even sweeter: "The steward is indeed very knowledgeable, even knowing about my lineage. It seems that my secrets cannot be hidden from the steward."

Zhao Yu had no time for beating around the bush, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "I only have one question for you: Did you bring Shi Zhixuan here to hunt me down?"

Bai Qing'er's smile froze, and her eyes flickered involuntarily.

This single, subtle reaction says it all.

Zhao Yu understood.

He had thought it was strange before.

He was merely a small force in Huainan, with limited followers; how could he possibly pass the information to someone like Shi Zhixuan?

Ordinary rumors in the martial arts world would never reach the ears of the Evil King.

However, if it is done through the Demonic Sect's channels, then it makes perfect sense.

During the meeting that day, Qing'er served tea from the side.

He casually commented on Pei Ju's words, which she overheard and relayed back to the Yin Kui Sect, and then spread through the Demonic Sect's intelligence network.

Shi Zhixuan was naturally sensitive, so when he heard someone reveal his avatar's identity, he naturally came to investigate.

Over time, this escalated into the current situation of a manhunt.

"Fine, very well." Zhao Yu's tone was icy. "I've treated you well, and yet you've brought me such a huge mess. Tell me, how should we settle this score?"

Seeing that he was truly angry, Bai Qing'er dared not flaunt her charm any longer. She quickly put away her seductive manner and said softly, "Please calm down, Steward. I didn't mean it. I only mentioned it casually to my sect. Who would have thought it would alarm the Evil King?"

"Shi Zhixuan and my Yin Kui Sect are sworn enemies, and he is my master's mortal foe. How could I possibly collude with him to harm the steward?"

"An unintentional mistake, and you can just dismiss it with a simple 'unintentional'?" Zhao Yu scoffed.

"So, how does the steward want me to compensate him?"

Bai Qing'er bit her lip, looked up at him with a pitiful expression, and pressed herself even closer to him, her voice soft and sweet: "At worst—I'll repay you with my body, okay? You can do whatever you want with me, Master."
