The shadows of the forest danced gracefully in the mountains, and the moonlight enveloped the entire bamboo grove in a soft, ambiguous glow like a flowing white veil.
Su Momo was held in Ye Gu's arms, and the warmth of his embrace stirred many feelings within her. If she weren't immobilized by acupoint pressure, she would certainly teach him a lesson for his frivolity.
Ye Gu utilized the flexibility of the bamboo to move through the forest without touching the ground.
Indeed, his skills were impressive. Earlier, he had pretended to be someone else; when a few ruffians arrived, they stood there foolishly, not moving at all.
However, up close, his face was even more handsome than that of the Fake Monk. With looks like this, it wouldn't be impossible to pursue him.
The evening breeze lifted Ye Gu's clothing, and Su Momo caught a faint scent of blood. She glared at Ye Gu and noticed a wound on his smooth neck.
"Where are you taking me?" The male lead, Ye Gu, likely knew that even if she screamed for help, no one would come to rescue her, so he did not seal her voice.
"Of course, I'm taking you to exchange for a reward," Ye Gu said matter-of-factly.
"Does Emerald Lake Villa really lack this little bit of silver?" Su Momo raised an eyebrow; after all, the male lead was currently working for Emerald Lake Villa under an unclear identity.
"Miss Lu is mistaken," Ye Gu replied with a tone that was quite annoying. "Good fortune should not flow to outsiders."
Though his words were unpalatable, Ye Gu did not make any moves to harm her. Instead, he flew her to a small hilltop and stopped.
Su Momo looked down and was awed by the scenery before her: a vast sea of flowers stretched out below, with vibrant blossoms swaying gently in the wind like fireflies dancing in groups, their glowing tails gathering light as bright as day.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Ye Gu helped her sit down before casually lying back on the ground.
[Congratulations to the host; the male lead's favorability rating has increased by 20%, now at 65%.]
Su Momo hurriedly withdrew her gaze and coldly asked, "What did you bring me here for?"
"I just wanted to help Miss Lu resolve her inner turmoil. Hatred is merely fleeting; if Miss Lu has time to spend on a man who wishes you dead, why not focus on living your own life?"
"Joke, how much do you know about my matters?" Su Momo said disdainfully.
It sounds nice, but you don't mention a word about the suffering that the original owner, Lu Baishuang, endured.
As a woman herself, Su Momo could understand the hardships Lu Baishuang faced over the years. She had to kill Liulang; whether it was a task assigned by the system or Lu Baishuang's obsession, this person had to be eliminated.
Ye Gu seemed to sense that something was amiss. He adjusted his expression and said, "Master Liu only mentioned to the guests that he has some grievances with Miss Lu, but he never specified what they were. Could it be that there are hidden truths behind this?"
Su Momo sneered, with a hint of sorrow: "Of course he wouldn't dare say it. How could he tell you that the entire fortune of Emerald Lake Villa comes from his ruthless act of selling his betrothed wife into a brothel?"
Su Momo took in Ye Gu's astonishment and scoffed before continuing as if recounting someone else's story: "Once there was a woman who loved nothing more than watching her beloved sell goods on the street.
Though life was poor at that time, she felt content. Little did she expect that her beloved would sell her to an old madam for a few dozen taels of silver.
Those silver coins became his capital, and his business gradually grew larger, leading to the establishment of the current Emerald Lake Villa.
From then on, he lived a life of indulgence, unaware that she was suffering a fate worse than death."
Recalling the terrifying years she saw in Lu Baishuang's memories, Su Momo couldn't help but feel a surge of fear, her voice trembling.
If it weren't for the wandering hero who saved Lu Baishuang later and taught her martial arts, she would have long become a wisp of soul with no place to seek justice.
From that moment on, Lu Baishuang vowed to repay Liulang tenfold.
Love had been severed; all that remained was an indelible hatred.
Since she, Su Momo, had taken over Lu Baishuang's body, she would also take on her vengeance and seek retribution.
Women in this world face many hardships; she understood this well. It was not like in her own reality where men and women had rights and equality; only those with abilities could write the rules.
Seeing that Ye Gu beside her had been silent for a long time, Su Momo self-deprecatingly curled her lips and said, "What, do you feel sorry for me?"
Ye Gu paused for a moment and smiled lightly, "I think he's shameless."
Before Su Momo could respond, Ye Gu added, "Although shameless, I still want those ten thousand taels of gold."
Su Momo was instantly at a loss for words. While she had no intention of using her own experiences to elicit sympathy from Ye Gu to let her go, she never expected Ye Gu to be so brazen.
How could this male lead, with such a handsome face, be so greedy for money?
Su Momo simply closed her eyes and decided to go all out: "If it falls into your hands, I have nothing to say. Just kill me if you want."
She heard a sharp gust of wind rushing toward her face.
No way!
Are you serious?
Su Momo suppressed the fear of dying in that moment, but the chilling killing intent suddenly stopped.
She opened her eyes to find Ye Gu smiling. His palm was pinching her chin, forcing her to lift her head closer to him.
"Miss Lu, how about you compromise a little and become my wife? Together we can trick that ten thousand taels of gold into our hands, how about it?"
[Congratulations, host. Favorability rating increased by 5%, current favorability rating 70%.]
"You wish!" Su Momo's face turned red with anger.
Why doesn’t this male lead follow the usual script? He should at least mention avenging her! Instead, he’s still thinking about that gold. Is he really that obsessed with money?
Su Momo's shy appearance made Ye Gu burst into hearty laughter. He simply lowered his head and bit her lip.
He gazed deeply at Su Momo, who found herself unable to lift her head under the intensity of his burning gaze.
"Congratulations, host. Favorability rating increased by 10%, current favorability rating is 80%."
Those men in the Brothel who had previously taken liberties with her had their hands and feet crippled as a form of revenge when she completed her training.
From then on, all the men in the world called her Demoness, and they avoided Lu Baishuang in fear.
Yet he was not afraid of her; he even kissed her.
Su Momo's face turned crimson, and if she weren't currently immobilized, she would not be at his mercy.
After all, he held the male lead's script and was highly skilled in martial arts. If it were someone else treating the female lead this way, they would have been killed long ago.
"Miss Lu, you must be careful on the road ahead. The mercenaries hired by Master Liu are not as kind-hearted as I am," Ye Gu whispered softly as he tucked a strand of hair behind Su Momo's ear.
At that moment, Su Momo's face was as red as if the flames of a raging fire had fiercely kissed it.
Su Momo watched as Ye Gu turned and walked away under the moonlight; from a distance, he truly resembled an otherworldly immortal.
