Kill That Transmigrator Woman - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Companionship (5)

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Ling Xun asked in confusion, “What happened to Wanwan?”

The young girl quickly trotted over to Ling Xun’s side, raised her jade-like fingers to point at the young man, and said with a grin, “Your secret guard has someone he likes.”

As a secret guard, one must not fall in love, must not marry, unless the master is willing to grant them freedom.

Ling Xun turned his head, surprise written on his face. “Xuan Yi, when did you start liking someone? I had no idea.”

“She’s standing right next to you.” Cui Wanwan said with a smile, her eyes hiding a chill deep within.

“Love at first sight, mutual affection—why don’t you fulfill their wish?” Cui Wanwan pressed the advantage.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi suddenly lifted his head.

In his eyes were shock, and also a trace of almost imperceptible hope.

All these years as a secret guard—without emotion, without heart, only loyalty remained. Today’s sudden heartbeat was the first, and it was a breathtaking one.

The Heir had a close relationship with Second Miss Cui and was willing to listen to her. Perhaps these words from Second Miss Cui could really have some effect.

It’s just that he was older—but he would never wrong Miss Wei.

Xuan Yi did not believe Wei Qingyu was indifferent toward him. If she truly felt nothing, she wouldn’t have reached out to grab his wrist outside earlier, nor would she have acted spoiled and begged him to let her in.

A woman’s reputation for chastity and purity was of utmost importance—an ordinary woman would never behave in such a way toward a man she had just met.

Unlike Xuan Yi’s hopeful thoughts, Wei Qingyu’s face on the side changed instantly. “Miss, why are you tarnishing my reputation? I don’t even know this man, how could there be mutual affection?”

Only then did Cui Wanwan shift her gaze to Wei Qingyu’s face. Years of hatred had gnawed at her heart night after night; even with a second life, she still could not let go in the slightest.

She swore that this time, even if she couldn’t win against the system-backed Wei Qingyu, she would drag this woman down to hell with her.

A spark could set the prairie ablaze; even an inch of soil could sprout green shoots.

After activating the grand gift pack, Wei Qingyu now looked quite different from a few days ago.

Her skin had become more delicate and noticeably fairer, the freckles on her face had completely vanished, the rustic look around her brows and eyes was gone, replaced with a refined prettiness; her once flat and low nose bridge had become small and delicate, and a hint of red on her lips added even more charm to her face.

Cui Wanwan was very curious about that voice called the “system.” The Wei Qingyu in front of her clearly still had the same features, yet somehow looked far more beautiful.

It seemed this was the power and mystery of the system.

Cui Wanwan knew that in a few more years, the future Wei Qingyu would become even more beautiful.
This was the system’s power.

It was Wei Qingyu who used something called “points” to trade with the system in exchange for benefits.

The reason Cui Wanwan knew all this was thanks to the previous life, when the arrogant and conceited Wei Qingyu had mocked her with this very information while trying to completely crush her.

The purpose was to let Cui Wanwan know that she was destined to lose—because Wei Qingyu was the chosen one, the transmigrated girl selected by the system, the true female lead of this world. And as for Cui Wanwan—no matter how noble her family background, how stunning her looks, or how renowned her talent was—so long as she stood before Wei Qingyu, she was nothing but a clown unfit to be seen.

She was the vicious supporting female character, the cannon fodder scum fated to die at the hands of the grand female lead in the end.

“Oh?” Cui Wanwan immediately apologized. “Sorry then, I didn’t know it was just Xuan Yi’s one-sided crush.”

“You…” Wei Qingyu pouted and turned her head toward Ling Xun, her eyes welling up with tears.

At the same time, she was frantically complaining to the system in her heart, “System, system, what’s going on? Why is the supporting female targeting me the moment we meet? Is that really her personality? It doesn’t match the character setting at all!”

System: [Well, she is the supporting female now, after all. Of course she’s no good. Host, please rest assured—even the most vicious supporting female is fated to be a stepping stone for the heroine, a face-slapping target to be crushed.]

Wei Qingyu: “But how am I supposed to build Ling Xun’s favorability this way? Cui Wanwan was the original female lead of this world. Even if her halo has now been absorbed by you for energy, according to the plot and her character profile, she wasn’t even remotely vicious at the start!”

As a transmigrated woman, her goal was to gain favorability from the male lead and all the male supporting characters in this world—make them all fall in love with her. That way, she, Wei Qingyu, would become the true female lead of this world.

And the original heroine would naturally fall into the role of the supporting female, then gradually turn from love to hate, step by step becoming a vicious-hearted side character. After that, the cannon-fodder supporting female would die tragically, and the world’s storyline would end on a perfect note.

Wei Qingyu looked at Cui Wanwan, thinking she had perfectly hidden the disdain in her eyes.

Hmph, and here she thought the original female lead Cui Wanwan would be some silly sweet thing. Look at that—one appearance and she already revealed her scheming malice.

Just as expected—no need for her to provoke anything, Cui Wanwan had already exposed her true nature.

Cui Wanwan was clearly no good. So thought Wei Qingyu.

Looking at Cui Wanwan’s beautiful face, Wei Qingyu secretly rolled her eyes. Wearing a red dress like that—who’s she trying to seduce? Gaudy!

“System, I’ve decided. I want to use points to exchange for ‘pure jade bones and ethereal aura’—only that kind of immortal-like beauty is unbeatable. I want to make Cui Wanwan look like some cheap, vulgar, third-rate powder-drenched trash.”

[Searching… Sorry, dear Host, you currently have 100 points and are temporarily unable to exchange for this item. It is recommended that you complete tasks. The following side quests are currently available:

1. Increase male supporting character Ling Xun’s favorability to 30%. Current favorability: 0%.

2. Use a scheme to make Cui Wanwan lose face or fly into a rage in front of others, thereby arousing Ling Xun’s disgust and aversion.

3. Successfully get Ling Xun to take you in and be willing to bring you back to the capital.

Host, please note: Completing any one task will grant you 300 points. Rewards can be accumulated. The item ‘Pure Jade Bones and Ethereal Aura’ requires 500 points to exchange. Host, please keep working hard!]

Upon hearing all this, Cui Wanwan slightly curled her lips.

Cheap and vulgar?
Just because she wore a red dress, she was considered third-rate?
Since when was a woman’s purity and elegance defined by her clothing?

If such superficial thinking was the measure, then this woman from another world wasn’t much to speak of either.

Narrow-minded and full of bias, that was all.

Facing the unfamiliar girl’s gaze and look of appeal, Ling Xun felt a little confused, then thought it might really be a misunderstanding.

So Ling Xun spoke to ease the situation, “Xuan Yi is a secret guard. How could he possibly have feelings for a girl he’s never met? Wanwan, you must’ve misunderstood.”

“You two probably don’t know each other yet. Wanwan, this is Miss Wei Qingyu. Funny coincidence—she’s the very same girl we met that day in the dungeon. I just happened to run into her outside the gate just now.”

Cui Wanwan gave a perfunctory smile. “Oh.”
Then turned and left.

“Miss Cui doesn’t seem to like me very much.” Wei Qingyu smiled gently with pursed lips, then lowered her lashes, looking a bit downcast.
“Well, it makes sense. A noble young lady from a prestigious family in the capital would naturally look down on someone like me, a rustic person fleeing hardship from the countryside.”

Ling Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then instinctively frowned.

He didn’t know what to say, but he felt that something wasn’t quite right.

The youth, modest and courteous, addressed the unfamiliar young girl before him.
“Wanwan is actually a very kind girl. We’ve known each other since we were young and grew up together. She’s not the sort of arrogant noble lady you’re suggesting.”

“System, the second male lead isn’t listening to me. What do I do?”

[Don’t worry, Host. These things take time—strategy must be slow and steady. Haste makes waste!]

Wei Qingyu gave an awkward smile and slightly curtsied.
“It was my mistake, I misunderstood. Sorry. Miss Cui won’t be angry if she finds out, right?”

“She won’t.” The youth gave a simple, honest smile and scratched his head. His eyes curved like crescent moons.
“Wanwan doesn’t know anyway. Even if she had heard our conversation just now, she’s broad-minded. Though she can have a bit of a temper sometimes, she’s actually a kind person at heart. She definitely wouldn’t be angry.”
