The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

446: Feng Wu is Targeted

After Nigusu fell asleep, a sudden breeze blew apart the curtains by the window.
An incredibly beautiful and curvy woman appeared in the room.
The long, black dress she wore caressed against her body sinuously under the cloak she had on.
She only needed to glance at a man and he would be willing to die for her.

“Alante, do you have a new target?” The woman smiled, completely unconcerned about Count Nigusu being in the room.

“Yes, she’s a new servant, young and very beautiful with a body full of vitality.
I will be able to stay with my precious Nigusu for a while longer if I absorb her blood.” Alante glanced at the man she loved with all her heart.
She would gladly have sold her soul for him.

The woman played with her porcelain-like fingers as she casually said, “I like women like you, you’ll ignore everything and do whatever it takes to pursue your goals.
But don’t forget, I got you the man you love, but you still have not completed what you promised me you would.”

“Don’t worry.
I will do what I promised.
I won’t fail.” Alante poured herself a glass of wine and sipped it carefully.

“All right.
I will wait for the good news then.” The woman smiled before transforming into a bat and flying off into the night sky.

Alante walked over to her husband and gently laid down to sleep next to him.

Until the day she encountered Nigusu, she had thought it was her lot in life to remain a commoner.

She was born a noble lady, but became a commoner through a trick of fate.

As a child, her family hadn’t liked her because she lacked beauty.
She was eventually pushed out to fend for herself by her beautiful half sister from her father’s concubine wife.

Before being pushed out, she had endured constant eye rolls and condescending glances.
Having suffered this since she was young, it made her hungry for a beautiful face and the perfect romance.

She would never forget the day Nigusu helped her despite her appearance.

Her half sister, afraid she would return and usurp the favored daughter position, had hired a group of thugs to destroy her beyond recognition.
There was no need for it though.
Alante knew better than anyone else, her parents cared more about their reputation than they did about their daughter.

So that day, a group of men, intent on rape then murder, had surrounded Alante.
Fortunately, Nigusu rescued her, so their plan failed.
She fell in love with Nigusu on sight, but it was a hopeless love because she was so ugly.

Just when she wanted to die from the pain, the woman appeared.
She was told her dreams could come true if she was willing to pay the price.

Alante didn’t care about the cost, as long as her dreams came true, she would accept.

She did as told and drank a drop of the woman’s blood.
The next thing she knew, she had somehow transformed into a peerless beauty.
However there was a catch.
Her beauty was temporary and needed to be maintained with the blood of beautiful, young girls.

The first girl she drank was none other than the girl who stole her identity, her beautiful half-sister.
She would never forget the horror and disbelief in her half-sister's eyes before dying.

It was a rush.
Alante loved how satisfying her new strength felt, for she had gained more than just beauty after drinking the woman’s blood, she had also gained extraordinary power.

Her beauty grew so that any man who saw her fell in love with her, however, she wasn't interested in any of them.
There was only one man she wanted.

In order to create a chance encounter with Nigusu, she reverted to being a commoner and from there successfully made him fall in love with her.
But just as she thought they would be happy together, Nigusu began exhibiting health problems.
His once handsome face grew haggard as he became weaker every day.
didn’t matter to Alante though.
She loved him regardless of how he looked.

She knew his change had to be connected to her somehow so she confronted the woman who gave her beauty and power to find out.

The woman easily admitted to it.
She explained that ordinary humans couldn’t withstand the power of the transformed qi in her blood.
It was only because Nigusu had practiced the arts for so long and his strength was good, that he was still alive, otherwise he would have already died some time ago from being in her vicinity.

She would have to leave him forever if she wanted him to live.

This, she was unwilling to do.
She didn’t want to leave the man she had loved for so long.
If he had to die, then she would kill herself too.
Then they would be together as a loving couple even after death.

It didn’t matter whether it was life or death.
They would always be together.
They loved each other so much, they shouldn’t be separated.
Who would even think of separating them? Perish the thought!

Feng Wu didn’t know it, but she didn’t need to spend energy to investigate the countess anymore because the countess already had her eyes on Feng Wu.

The next day, Lamia found Feng Wu and told her to go to the countess’s room, that the countess wanted to see her.

Lamia didn’t take Feng Wu up through the servant stairs; instead she took her up via a secret stairway.

Feng Wu was skeptical Lamia would bring her to the countess’s room so she took note of the route they took and secretly told Rui Baby to send a message to Pei Qing.

Rui Baby hadn’t dared come out and had been hiding in her sleeves the entire time they were in the count’s castle.
He was antsy from being cooped up for so many days.
He flew off immediately after Feng Wu told him the message.

Lamia was just an ordinary person, so she was incapable of seeing Rui Baby fly away.

Feng Wu followed behind Lamia around until they came to door.
Faint red light seeped through the opening.

“The countess is inside; you can go in alone.” Lamia gestured with her eyes as she spoke.

Feng Wu silently nodded before pushing the door open.
She’d only taken a single step when Lamia shoved her from behind.

It would have been easy for Feng Wu to escape but Pei Qing had said they couldn’t reveal their identities, so because of this, she didn’t resist or dodge and Lamia was able to easily shove her into the room.

The door clang shut immediately behind her.
