Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

“Shen Wan, what on earth are you trying to do? How many times do I have to tell you not to put these weird things in my house!”

“Mu Yuan, there really is a ghost in the house, I…”

“Enough! I don’t care if there’s a ghost or not. You’re not allowed to put these strange things all over the house without my permission. If you do it again, you can pack up and leave right now!”

Mu Yuan glared coldly at the helpless girl standing before him, his brows tightly knitted. Seeing her silence, he continued, “Shen Wan, are you listening to me?”

He truly couldn’t understand why his grandfather had arranged this marriage, claiming that the Shen family’s daughter could help him overcome a difficult time. His grandfather had even seemed relieved, saying they were fortunate the Shen family owed them a favor, which led to this engagement. He had repeatedly cautioned against breaking off the engagement out of stubbornness. Mu Yuan thought all this talk of tribulations was nonsense.

He had broached the subject of ending their engagement with Shen Wan several times, saying they weren’t compatible. But this girl was stubborn, insisting her grandfather wouldn’t allow her to break it off. She even said she could only leave his family after his predestined tribulation had passed.

Shen Wan’s bewildered eyes quickly regained clarity. Once she could clearly see her surroundings, she noticed Mu Yuan’s fierce look. Glancing around at the environment and considering Mu Yuan’s attitude towards her, she quickly deduced the current state of their relationship.

“Did you hear me? You’d better throw out all those weird things in your hands. I won’t allow such filthy objects in my home!”

Mu Yuan had lost patience and spoke harshly, “Don’t come back inside until you’ve thrown everything away.”

“Um… why don’t we just break off the engagement?” Shen Wan suggested tentatively. This Mu Yuan character must have already hooked up with a female ghost, which explained his impatience with her. The original Shen Wan had pasted ghost-repelling talismans around the house several times, likely harming Mu Yuan’s beloved female ghost and incurring his wrath.

Mu Yuan’s impending tirade halted abruptly. He eyed Shen Wan suspiciously, “What did you say?”

“I said, why don’t we break off the engagement? If we don’t, you can’t stop me from ghost hunting here.” Shen Wan lifted her chin. “Although my skills aren’t as good as my grandfather’s, I can easily distinguish between humans and ghosts. With a ghost floating right under my nose, and a vicious one that clings to the mortal world at that, I can’t just sit by and do nothing. Either let me hunt ghosts, or we break off the engagement. Your choice!”

Mu Yuan laughed in anger, not bothering to ponder Shen Wan’s sudden change in attitude.

Ghost hunting?

And a vicious ghost?

How could Xiao Xue possibly be a vicious ghost? Poor Xiao Xue had suffered in life, and now in death, she was tormented by those talismans.

If it weren’t for Shen Wan’s stubborn refusal to break off the engagement, he would have kicked her out long ago, only tolerating her for his late grandfather’s sake.

She acted like she owned the place, bringing in all sorts of strange objects and turning his home into a mess. He couldn’t stand it anymore. This woman had a bad temper, lacked Xiao Xue’s gentleness, and insisted on hunting every ghost she saw. If she continued living here, he genuinely feared Xiao Xue might get hurt.

Now that she had brought up breaking off the engagement herself, he might as well agree.

“Shen Wan, are you sure you want to break off our engagement?”

“I’m sure. Except for the first half month, haven’t we been arguing every day since? I don’t think we’re compatible.”

Mu Yuan snorted coldly, “I agree, we’re not compatible at all. I don’t know why my grandfather said we were a match made in heaven.”

“I think the same. We’re clearly like fire and water.”

With both of their grandfathers deceased, breaking off the engagement only required destroying their betrothal tokens and Shen Wan moving out.

The tokens were two halves of a jade pendant, each held by one of them. Mu Yuan fetched a hammer and, in front of Shen Wan, personally smashed the jade to pieces. Shen Wan, in turn, held her half of the jade in her hand, gently squeezed, and when she opened her palm again, the jade had crumbled into small pieces that slowly fell to the ground.

Mu Yuan gulped and took two steps back, truly surprised by this woman’s strength.

People from mystical families were all strange. It was good to break off the engagement with Shen Wan. Who knew if she might harm Xiao Xue?

“You can explain to your parents yourself,” Shen Wan dusted off her hands. “My parents are both gone, and my grandfather, my only relative, passed away last year. I can make my own decisions.”

“My parents won’t object.”

His mother had never been satisfied with this engagement, thinking his grandfather had made too big a deal of it. Now that Shen Wan agreed to break it off and he didn’t object, his mother would be overjoyed.

“Then I’ll go upstairs to pack. I don’t want to stay here another moment.”

Shen Wan turned and went upstairs. Her daily necessities and clothes were very few, she didn’t use any cosmetics, and had no jewelry typical of young women. A single suitcase was enough to pack everything.

Soon, she came downstairs pulling her suitcase.

Seeing that she was really leaving, Mu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. As Shen Wan passed by him with her suitcase, she paused, “If you ever feel like you’re about to die, you can give me a call. For your grandfather’s sake, I might rush over in time to save your life. If I’m not in time, I can at least help with your burial.”

“That won’t be necessary. As long as you never come back here to cause trouble, I’ll burn incense for your grandfather.”

“Learning the wrong things, keeping a female ghost,” she muttered as she walked away, the door slamming shut behind her.

Leaving the bright living room, she stepped into pitch darkness. It was around 9:30 PM, and Mu Yuan seemed to realize that Shen Wan was, after all, a young woman. He hurriedly chased after her, “Hey!”

“What?”

“It’s already 9:30. Why don’t you leave tomorrow? As long as you don’t bring those weird things into my house, it’s fine.”

“Sorry, I can’t do that. When I see a vicious ghost, I want to catch it. Not just catch it, I want to eat it!” As Shen Wan said this, she licked her lips. “Vicious ghosts are the most potent, they taste the best, they’re chewy, and eating them enhances my abilities even more.”

The original Shen Wan couldn’t cultivate by eating ghosts and was only a half-baked ghost hunter, which was why she was tormented by ghosts and nearly lost her life.

But she could. She could not only catch ghosts but also use various spells. These spells weren’t bought at a high price from the system mall; in fact, they weren’t even available there. The spells from small worlds couldn’t be used in the outside world, but spells from the outside world could be used in small worlds.

“I’m serious. It’s not good for a girl to go out alone so late at night. If something happens, you’ll regret it for life.” Mu Yuan’s words were sincere. Although he found Shen Wan annoying, he feared something might really happen to her if she left.

“Didn’t you see how I crushed the jade to dust with just a gentle squeeze?” Shen Wan proudly lifted her chin. “Alright, go back and keep your female ghost company. Oh, and since you’re being so kind, if you’re about to die someday and call me, I’ll rush over as quickly as possible to save your life.”

“Then get lost!” Mu Yuan was a bit angry. If Shen Wan was so capable, he wouldn’t bother with her anymore. It was good that she was leaving; things would be peaceful.

After Shen Wan’s small figure disappeared, Mu Yuan grasped the jade pendant hanging around his neck. “Xiao Xue, she’s gone now.”

“Brother Mu Yuan, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I wanted to talk to her too, but she catches ghosts on sight. Every time she came back, the house was covered in scary talismans. I was afraid she’d catch me, and I’d never see Brother Mu Yuan again.”

“I’ve broken off the engagement with her. She won’t come back anymore. Don’t worry, from now on, it’s just the two of us.”

The human and the ghost chatted as they returned home.

Meanwhile, Shen Wan pulled her suitcase, looking for a place to stay.

Standing at the entrance of a hotel, Shen Wan rummaged through her bag, her face stiffening. “Brother 8, I think I’m out of money.”

[188: “I wanted to remind you earlier, but you were too excited and just left with your things. Wan Wan, you’re so capable, surely you have a way to get money?”]

“Then exchange some for me.”

[188: “You spent all your money in the last world. The reward for completing the last world’s mission, apart from buying me a skin, I don’t know what little spirit you spent the rest on. So now, Wan Wan, we don’t have a single penny. The mall doesn’t allow credit, and the system can’t manage the host’s wallet. I’m helpless too.”]

“Why is the original so poor?” Shen Wan searched through her suitcase and backpack, finally finding thirty yuan. “A ghost hunter with only thirty yuan? Oh, I found another one. Why only thirty-one yuan?”

With no other choice, Shen Wan could only pull her luggage away from the entrance of this nice-looking hotel, aimlessly heading in another direction.

[188 remembered Shen Wan’s earlier mention of eating ghosts and couldn’t help but ask, “Wan Wan, is it true that eating ghosts can enhance your cultivation?”] Why did he feel a bit uneasy, as if he had just learned another mysterious aspect of his host?

“It’s true.”

[188: “How can you eat ghosts? Wan Wan…”]

Before 188 could finish, he sensed Shen Wan’s mood shift. Carefully examining the external situation, he realized many strange energy bodies had appeared around them. After a quick scan, he discovered these energy bodies were human figures, some in various miserable states, though some looked fine. Hanging on the big tree above them was a particularly beautiful energy body, different from the others, wearing a pretty red dress.

[188: “Wan Wan, so many ghosts. Are you planning to eat them all?”] Honestly, he was a bit excited. He wondered what it would look like when Wan Wan ate ghosts.

Shen Wan surveyed her surroundings for a moment, rubbing her brow. Feeling a peculiar gaze, she looked up to see a very beautiful face, with hair so long it nearly touched the ground.

hat red dress was floating right in front of her. The female ghost’s face was pale, but undeniably beautiful.

Shen Wan winked at her, “What are you looking at? Keep staring, and I’ll eat you.”

The red-dressed female ghost clearly hadn’t expected Shen Wan to be so fearless. She blinked back, her figure floating down to stand in front of Shen Wan. She was a head taller than Shen Wan, her beautiful face almost touching Shen Wan’s. “Little girl, you actually want to eat me? Do you know who I am?”

Shen Wan’s eyes moved slightly, and she said with a smile, “Of course I know.”

“Oh? You actually know my identity?” The red-dressed female ghost was a bit surprised. Her finger lightly brushed Shen Wan’s cheek. Shen Wan felt a cold sensation pass over her face and rubbed it. “Stop touching, it’s very cold at night.”

“Then tell me, who am I?”

Shen Wan curled her lips and said seriously, “Who are you? Who else could you be but my wife?”

188 hurriedly checked the alarm system, then breathed a sigh of relief. The alarm system was indeed terribly outdated.

The red-dressed female ghost was stunned. Had she just been flirted with by a little girl?

“Little girl, have you heard of fierce ghosts?” The red-dressed female ghost saw Shen Wan pull her suitcase to sit on the steps, surrounded by various ghosts. All the ghosts hovered around, looking at the police station with despair on their faces.

The red-dressed female ghost was clearly more powerful than the other ghosts, able to sit on the steps of the police station. “Do you know what fierce ghosts do? They die with grievances, sorrow, and resentment, and they take lives.”

Shen Wan cupped her face, her round eyes surveying the surroundings before sighing, “None of the ghosts here are edible.”

The red-dressed female ghost’s eyelid twitched, and seeing Shen Wan staring at her, she felt a bit uneasy.

“I’m a fierce ghost. If you dare to eat me, I’ll take your life when I get angry.”

Shen Wan reached out to pat the red-dressed female ghost’s head. “Be good, I can’t eat you of all things.”

The red-dressed female ghost felt strange but didn’t dislike Shen Wan’s touch. Frightened, she floated away quickly.

“Wife, don’t float so fast. I really won’t eat you!”

The red-dressed female ghost hanging in the tree nearly fell off.

Shen Wan gazed at the big tree with smiling eyes, her voice softly reaching 188, “She taught me my ghost-catching skills. This old woman is quite capable, and she likes to rob the cradle. She stole the feelings of naive, young me.”
