Chapter 44: Shen Meng Qi’s Request
When Shen Meng Qi was alive, she was her family’s only child. Her family conditions were good, and her life was pretty happy.
If there was one thing that went wrong, it was that she met the wrong person.
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “That damn scumbag ate my food, used my money, and he still dared to cheat!”
The more Shen Meng Qi thought about it, the angrier she got.
That man was a classic phoenix man.
He had set his sights on Shen Meng Qi’s family background and sweet-talked her with every trick he had.
Back then, Shen Meng Qi was young and naive. She was fooled by his disguise and thought she had found true love.
She threw money at him again and again, and even arranged a job for him.
Who knew the affectionate act he put on in front of her was fake, and behind her back, he played around like crazy?
After Shen Meng Qi found out, they argued. During the fight, they got into a car accident.
That accident directly made Shen Meng Qi transmigrate to Beast World.
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “?Snickering?Aww, you really can’t tell. Meng Qi used to be such a love-brain.”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Meng Qi, when your love-brain takes over, you’re basically delivering gear to that scumbag so he can level up.”
Xia Meng Meng sent a hand-over-mouth snickering emoji and continued, “Money and a job – and he used your resources to go live it up.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Exactly! Even in the apocalypse, I’ve never seen anyone this stupid. Your brain must’ve been full of pink bubbles. Poke one bubble and it pops, and the explosion blew you straight into Beast World.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Love-brain is terrifying, hahaha.”
Jiang Xiao Yu sent several laughing emojis.
The group chat instantly flooded with all kinds of stickers and reactions.
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Ha, who hasn’t been blind when they were young?”
Facing the teasing from her groupmates, Shen Meng Qi stayed calm.
Su Qian digested Shen Meng Qi’s story, then asked in the group, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “After that car accident, I don’t know if he died or not. I died anyway. If he didn’t die, I want him to lose his reputation completely!”
[Group member Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling) has posted a request mission. Do you accept? Completing the mission will reward group points. Points can be used for group upgrades, unlocking more functions, and multi-plane transmigrators.]
Su Qian thought for a moment, then tapped, “Accept.”
“Taking down a scumbag?” Su Qian’s lips curved. “This mission is interesting.”
“Meng Meng, do you have any regrets on Earth?” Su Qian tagged Xia Meng Meng.
By order, Xia Meng Meng was one of the earliest group members.
Whether it was Jiang Xiao Yu or Lin Yue, Su Qian had helped them complete their request missions.
Only Xia Meng Meng had never brought hers up.
Xia Meng Meng, who had been chatting happily just now, saw Su Qian’s message.
She stayed silent for a long time before replying, “Sister Qian Qian, I’m doing fine. I didn’t really have any regrets on Earth.”
Su Qian was surprised.
She had thought Xia Meng Meng would have unfinished wishes or regrets like everyone else.
She didn’t expect her to say she had none.
Su Qian still wasn’t willing to give up. “Really? Meng Meng, think carefully. Do you need me to help look after your parents or anything?”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Qian Qian, there really isn’t anything.”
Seeing how firm Xia Meng Meng was, Su Qian didn’t push.
After that, she got the scumbag’s information from Shen Meng Qi.
Su Qian carefully processed it and started thinking about how to make him lose his reputation completely.
By the time she returned to Yun Jin Villa, it was already dark, but the villa was brightly lit.
“That’s weird. Why are the lights on at home? Did someone break in?”
Su Qian’s heart tightened. She unconsciously lightened her steps.
When she opened the door, she froze.
In the living room, Lu Yao sat on the sofa, his figure unusually quiet under the light.
“You’re back,” Lu Yao said, lifting his eyes to look at Su Qian.
Su Qian slapped her forehead.
She almost forgot there was another person in the house.
“You’re still not asleep?” Su Qian finally relaxed.
Lu Yao looked at her, a complicated emotion flickering in his eyes. “I was waiting for you.”
Su Qian froze. “Waiting for me for what?”
Lu Yao didn’t answer. He only looked at Su Qian quietly.
Su Qian frowned slightly, uncomfortable under his gaze. “What’s wrong?”
Lu Yao stayed silent for a moment. Then he finally said, “I’m hungry.”
Lu Yao felt wronged.
In the cultivation realm, he could fill his stomach just by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Who knew that in this strange world, he would be trapped by mere hunger?
He searched the whole house and couldn’t find anything to eat. He couldn’t even find the fasting pill his little disciple had sent over.
In the end, Lu Yao went to the underground storage and found some spiritual fruit.
He, an ancient divine dragon, had fallen to the point of filling his stomach with fruit!
Su Qian widened her eyes, feeling amused and helpless.
She had almost forgotten that this wasn’t the cultivation realm, and Lu Yao couldn’t go without eating anymore.
“Hahaha… um, sorry. I forgot you still needed to eat,” Su Qian said awkwardly.
Did that mean Lu Yao had been hungry all day?
Su Qian shivered. If she starved this guy and he recovered his memories later, would he eat her?
No, no!
Su Qian shook her head hard inside.
“So… why did you think I didn’t need to eat?” Lu Yao lifted his eyes, feigning confusion.
Su Qian opened her mouth, but she didn’t know how to answer.
She couldn’t exactly say, I know you’re from the cultivation realm, and you can fast there.
A thought hit her, and her acting instincts kicked in. “Well… we’re relatives, right? You used to be super busy and always forgot to eat. Sometimes you only ate one meal a day. You were really good at enduring hunger, so I thought you wouldn’t be hungry now.”
Lu Yao narrowed his eyes, watching her play dumb. He found it amusing.
He didn’t expose her. He only nodded slightly. “So that’s how it is. Then I’ll remember to eat from now on.”
“Good,” Su Qian said, finally letting out a breath.
Secretly, she felt proud of how clever she’d been.
She continued, “Wait here. I’ll go find you something to eat.”
Su Qian hurried into the kitchen and rummaged through everything, but the fridge only had alcohol and drinks.
Ever since moving into the villa, Su Qian hadn’t cooked once.
In the very back of a cabinet, she finally found a cup of instant noodles. Her eyes lit up, and she grabbed it like she’d found treasure.
“Ha! Thank goodness this is here. Lu Yao, wait a bit. I’ll cook you some instant noodles.”
Su Qian moved fast, boiling water and tearing open the packaging.
Before long, the scent of noodles filled the kitchen.
She carried the cooked noodles to Lu Yao. “Hurry and try it. It’s not a big meal, but it can fill your stomach for now.”
While cooking the noodles, Su Qian also ordered a bunch of delivery on her phone.
Even if she starved herself, she couldn’t let Lu Yao starve!
Lu Yao looked at the steaming bowl, and the frustration in his heart eased a little.
He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. His eyes brightened slightly.
But his face stayed calm. He nodded lightly. “It tastes pretty good.”
