Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 247 - 28: Berserk Junior Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 28)
It looked like a giant jellyfish living on the seabed, with a light blue and soft dome and countless thin filaments underneath. The tips of those filaments were connected to floating eyeballs, and except for the eyeballs, this thing actually had a bit of an artistic feel.
Jiang Lai asked Little Buding what this thing was.
"The original plot mentioned once that the heroine encountered a divine creature that could see a person’s past life. Based on the description, it should be this thing."
Little Buding was still curious, but Jiang Lai waved his hand, uninterested.
"I expected something better."
"Aren’t you curious about what you were in your past life?"
"So can it see my past life or the original owner’s? Can you tell the difference? Besides, I’m curious enough about this life, who cares about the past one."
It’s all over anyway, what’s there to be curious about.
After saying that, Jiang Lai turned and left, but then an eyeball floating in front of her suddenly bumped into her. Unexpectedly, a strange memory surged into her mind.
In this memory, Jiang Lai saw an ocean, sometimes calm and sometimes with towering waves. She was floating in it, like a ship at sea.
She frowned and was about to look further when she suddenly heard a familiar cry for help from outside, forcing Jiang Lai to detach from it. After hesitating for a while, she quickened her pace towards the source of the sound.
It was Fourth Senior Brother, caught on a gear mechanism. As the gear kept crushing forward, if Jiang Lai appeared even a minute later, his head would have been pulverized.
Seeing this, Jiang Lai immediately took out a Spirit Stone and threw it into the mechanism. After a piercing sound of friction, the gear rapidly came to a halt.
She saved Fourth Senior Brother, who was pale and trembling, clearly quite frightened.
"Thank goodness you arrived in time, or I would have been dead!"
"Tell me, what happened."
"Mu Wu tricked me, saying we would cooperate to find the treasure. But just now, when she was trapped in the mechanism, she lied that the treasure was inside. The moment I entered, she tied me up and walked out on my head."
Fourth Senior Brother’s lips were trembling from anger.
Jiang Lai was disappointed.
Fourth Senior Brother is usually quite shrewd; why does he always act foolishly in front of the male and female leads?
This clearly looks dangerous, yet he charged in blindly, acting like he’s been brain-damaged for ten years.
Jiang Lai didn’t bother to say much more. While the Spirit Stone in the mechanism hadn’t been crushed, she quickly leaped over it and ran further inside.
Fourth Senior Brother chased after her.
"It’s too late; she’s already gone, and the treasure is already gone."
"Not necessarily."
The original plot stated that the thing could grow legs and run. Even if Mu Wu found it, catching it wouldn’t be easy.
As Jiang Lai rounded the corner, she saw Mu Wu standing there, accompanied by a man dressed in black.
Seeing Jiang Lai, Mu Wu grabbed the man and came forward with a line.
"This is also a disciple of my sect."
"You just left my Senior Brother there as a target?"
Seeing Jiang Lai didn’t appear to notice anything, but came for justice, Mu Wu breathed a sigh of relief and coldly smiled.
"What else? Should I wait for him to harm me without acting first?"
Eliminating all hidden dangers in advance was her reason for climbing to the peak in her past life.
Jiang Lai nodded, it made sense.
Mu Wu then remembered Ye Yunzhou and quickly asked.
"How did you get out? Where’s Ye Yunzhou?"
"Him? He wanted to molest me, seeing how beautiful I look, and got knocked out by me."
"You’re spouting nonsense!"
Mu Wu immediately became angry, as Jiang Lai wasn’t someone Ye Yunzhou would ever be interested in, even if he were blind!
But now Jiang Lai could come out safely, so where was Ye Yunzhou? He was known for returning grudges, similar to her temperament. When Jiang Lai pulled him back earlier, it already breached his taboo. How could Jiang Lai safely walk here?
The only reason must be that he was severely injured, outsmarted by Jiang Lai.
Thinking of this, Mu Wu felt both anger and hatred. This Jiang Lai was always opposing her, appearing everywhere like a stray spirit.
It was the first time Mu Wu felt such intense killing intent towards someone.
Because, in her view, if Jiang Lai didn’t die, she would suffer losses in the future.
"Why not take a look yourself to see if I’m lying? Also, you just did that to my Fourth Senior Brother, almost costing his life. If you apologize by bowing and knocking your head, this matter will be over."
Fourth Senior Brother: "..."
Was his little junior sister this bold now?
This woman clearly belonged to Ye Yunzhou, yet she dared to provoke him. Can they really walk out of here alive in the end?
In spite of his internal turmoil, Fourth Senior Brother firmly stood by Jiang Lai’s side, believing whatever she said was right.
"Right, apologize, bow down and apologize."
Little Buding watched the scene, wishing he could munch on sunflower seeds, seeing a minor character directly confronting the heroine—so fresh!
Mu Wu coldly laughed.
"Make me kneel? Just see if your knees can withstand it!"
With that, she summoned her Fire Spirit Scorpion. With a surge of hot flames, a massive scorpion appeared in front of Mu Wu, its tail towering over Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow.
Looks like Mu Wu found some good stuff in the Secret Realm. Previously, the scorpion was palm-sized with four elements, and now it’s a Seven Element High-level Spirit Beast.
The scorpion’s tail is venomous and can spray flames. Once they touch you, the fire poison immediately enters your system, making you suffer unbearably.
Jiang Lai clapped her hands, and a black puppy appeared on her shoulder.
"Pudding, go."
The puppy instantly bared its teeth and rushed forward, fearless in the face of a poison scorpion a hundred times bigger, its brave demeanor almost bringing tears to Fourth Senior Brother.
"Junior Sister, is it really okay to let it go?"
Jiang Lai chuckled.
"Who says it’s just him."
Then she raised her arm, looked up and took a deep breath, whispering.
"Viper, come out."
In the next second, a black snake, thicker than her arm, slowly crawled out from Jiang Lai’s back. It was seven or eight meters long, its head extending behind her as its red tongue flickered, its narrow eyes fixed with hatred on the scorpion.
Fourth Senior Brother quietly retreated a step.
Couldn’t understand this little girl, she had tigers and lions, sure, but why are they all scorpions and snakes, they looked creepily unsettling.
One snake and one dog, despite the odds, didn’t seem likely to win, because the dog could almost be ignored.
Just then, the scorpion attacked, its tail rapidly extending, the steel-like sting viciously striking towards the larger target, the black snake.
