Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1347 - 1336: A Family of Cannon Fodder
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
What do you mean by saying I should just go after whoever I like? Is this an insult to myself?
Cheng Yixue was furious. She wanted to leave immediately, but her goal hadn’t been achieved yet. Today was the best auspicious day, and if she didn’t get what she needed, wouldn’t she face a backlash?
Soon, she could replace Ye Qiu’s fate. Ye Qiu, this arrogant woman, didn’t deserve such a good fortune at all!
"Ye Qiu, you know very well that I have no romantic interest in the male classmates."
"I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just telling it like it is. What makes you say that?" Ye Qiu looked at her with puzzlement.
Cheng Yixue looked earnestly into Ye Qiu’s eyes and realized she really could insult her, as if it were just an ordinary, casual statement.
Indeed, she was a noble eldest lady, always speaking without taking into account the feelings of others. If one day Ye Qiu fell from grace, drowning in debt, she wondered if Ye Qiu would be as domineering as she was now.
"I’m heading back; today has been rather dull." Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered to waste time with Cheng Yixue and called her driver.
Cheng Yixue was genuinely anxious this time. If Ye Qiu left, how could she get the item she intended to give?
"Going back already after such a short outing? How about having a meal?" she pleaded.
"No, my stomach isn’t well lately. It’s best not to eat out."
Cheng Yixue inwardly cursed. The eldest lady was indeed precious. She wondered if Ye Qiu would still be so delicate after going bankrupt and being abandoned by everyone later.
"Can’t you even accompany me just for today? My birthday is coming up soon; could you give me a present? I promise I’ll give you a really nice gift on your birthday too."
"Then let’s wait till your birthday to exchange gifts. I haven’t prepared anything today."
"Let me accompany you out." Cheng Yixue walked alongside, thinking of a solution, realizing that Ye Qiu was exceptionally elusive today, much to her annoyance.
"Come on, chase me!" As she brainstormed, two girls playfully ran towards them, and an idea suddenly flashed through Cheng Yixue’s mind.
"Ouch!" Ye Qiu was hurt. She had already avoided the two girls, but couldn’t escape Cheng Yixue deliberately bumping into her.
"Ye Qiu, are you okay? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, it’s all because those two girls were too reckless. Here, let’s wipe it; you’re bleeding. I forgot to bring tissues. Do you have any?" she said, and without ado, she opened Ye Qiu’s bag and took out tissues to stop the bleeding.
"This isn’t enough. I’ll go down and buy you some medicine and band-aids." She ran off with the tissues before Ye Qiu could stop her.
Ye Qiu squinted her eyes; does taking something so willingly count? What use is a pack of tissues?
She could almost be certain that even if Cheng Yixue returned the tissues to her later, it wouldn’t be the original pack. She wondered what tricks Cheng Yixue was up to.
"Is this what you brought back? A used pack of tissues?" Cheng Qing’s face looked displeased as she sternly reprimanded her daughter, "I thought you understood the severity of this."
"I know, but Ye Qiu was utterly unyielding today. No matter what I did, she wouldn’t play along. But the tissues do have her bloodstains on them, Mom, is this helpful?"
"Let’s go ask the master, the ritual was already done; see if the master can resolve it."
Mother and daughter drove to an old building in the night. The clouds had hidden the moonlight, making the sky especially dark. Even in the summer of Daxia, Cheng Yixue felt waves of coldness, especially after entering the corridor, where the chill seemed to penetrate her bones.
Every time she came here, she felt something strange staring at her, making her shudder.
Although afraid of the Divine Woman, Cheng Yixue never considered backing out, as she was determined to change her destiny.
Why was it that people like Ye Qiu were born with a silver spoon, whereas she was destined for poverty? She couldn’t be blamed for her ruthlessness in swapping fate with Ye Qiu. After all, hadn’t Ye Qiu’s father abandoned her mother back then?
She was the easiest to approach and deceive, but Ye Qiu could only blame her own misfortune.
"Master, can we come in now?" Cheng Qing asked cautiously.
"Come in." The speaker’s voice was particularly hoarse. When Cheng Yixue first came, she couldn’t even tell if it was a man or a woman. Later, she found out it was a Divine Woman, who not only could defy fate but also raise little ghosts. Many nobles were frequent visitors here.
This Divine Woman charged a hefty fee. If it weren’t for Grandpa saving her life back then, Cheng Yixue and her mother wouldn’t have received her help.
Initially, she was repulsed by the notion of the Ye Family, thinking that human efforts could triumph over fate, that everything could be obtained through hard work. It wasn’t until later that she realized her thoughts were naive.
Some people’s destinies are determined from birth. No matter how hard you try, it ends up empty-handed, just like herself before.
Later, the Divine Woman altered her fate, allowing her to absorb the luck of people around her, and she realized there were shortcuts in this world. Moreover, those men sincerely liked her, she didn’t force them.
But even so, it wasn’t enough. The luck from men was temporary. Absorbing too much could have negative effects on herself, leaving no choice but to swap fate with another woman of extremely strong luck. Ye Qiu was the best candidate chosen by the Divine Woman.
She needed to first get close to Ye Qiu and obtain some of Ye Qiu’s personal items, then gradually have people close to Ye Qiu turn to her. She had only done the first part, and for the second part, her own luck needed to be stronger.
If she had gotten the item Ye Qiu intended to give today, it would be akin to Ye Qiu giving her a portion of her luck. Unexpectedly, she failed.
"Since she didn’t give it voluntarily, it’s useless." The Divine Woman shook her head, her murky eyes staring at Cheng Yixue, sending chills through her.
"Will my failure to complete the task affect me?" Cheng Yixue asked cautiously.
"The array has long been set, naturally."
Cheng Yixue immediately panicked: "Master, save me. As long as you save me, I promise once I have seized Ye Qiu’s luck, I will do whatever you want."
"Raise a child."
"What?"
"Take a child home and raise him as your own son; he will protect you."
"But I’m not married yet..."
"You should know, that since the day you began, you no longer have the ability to have children, so why does it matter?"
"But I’m afraid I won’t be able to raise him well."
"Daily offerings of clear water, fresh fruits, and young chicken. If you ever forget and can’t manage it, just drop a drop of your own fresh blood."
Cheng Yixue felt this wasn’t a good solution, but she had no other choice.
