Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 425 Mo Chou: After Story Extra

Complacency proved to be a snake that lurks in the dark and bites when least expected. 

Jiang Li believed so much in Zhan Rong, that she would only be attracted to him. Unfortunately… while he was correct on that part, the father of the girl was not a fellow who would easily give up marrying his daughter off for benefits. 

"Since blind date didn't work, he simply thought of hosting an event where men who l.u.s.ted after the Zhan's wealth and power would 'bid' for your hand?" Jiang Li's voice was icy and his eyes were gleaming with a dangerous glow. 

Zhan Rong, dressed for a party, nodded as she listlessly applied makeup. "He's probably jealous of other tyc.o.o.ns and CEOs who managed to get nice deals by selling their daughters through marriage."

"So what will you do?" he asked, an unreadable expression on his face.

"I have enough wealth to support me and you for many years so I plan to cut off ties with that old man formally tonight," she nonchalantly answered. 

The reply instantly made him calm down for a while. That was until she smiled and added, "Of course, that is, if the guy who wins my clan over doesn't impress me with his abilities and looks."

"???!" 

He prided himself in not venting frustration to their partner, unlike most male leads who got jealous but then proceeded to make things hard for their female leads. So, stimulated by Zhang Rong's response, the ghost king mobilized his force and reduced the venue of the evening party into an unrecognizable mess. The result of sabotaging the fiancée hunting event organized by Mr. Zhan was very favorable. 

However...

System: Host is an idiot.

System: If not, why takes so long to realize that the main problem is being a ghost?

Who knew if the guy heard its thoughts, but the man was frowning despite seeing the wrecked place that resulted in a postponed event. He only had about fifty thousand points, and he was reluctant to spend any more of it, so he looked for Gu Mochou to ask how she gained a body. 

On Fan Zheng's side. 

Actually it went just like Jiang Li predicted. The female lead reunited with the male lead. The two even managed to exorcise a few evil spirits on their way back before Fan Zheng hid his lover so she would not be reached by her blood-sucking vampire father and relentless admirer.

Because the villainess was yet to wake up, she was out of the picture and the plot couldn't be bothered to magic her resurrection. There was a limit too to the number of measures she had put up to ensure she would be chosen as a fiancée. Given this fact, when Gu Mochou was still wandering around sometimes joining the Red Lady in watching Zhao Ming endured a never-ending series of misfortunate events, another person took her position as a third wheeler. 

But anyway, Zhao Ai was alive, so were Fan Zheng and Zhang Jian. 

As Jiang Li deemed their love triangle super cliché, especially with the female lead always being pushed around yet still being carefully treasured by those two men who fell for her at first sight, he didn't continue following up their story. 

He was more curious about the 'enlightened' Gu Mochou. 

Lang Lei too, the owner of the body he borrowed for the past year, showed abnormal changes after Jiang Li left him for good. It was very interesting.

'Heh... So another outsider's formally here.' Yet Jiang Li also felt a mild irritation.

Apart from Na Yu's incarnation, there was one more person who never failed to be in the same world as Jiang Li since his time at the Fortune-Teller's world. 

Dong Lan. A person adopted by a mysterious Outer G.o.ddess, sent to various worlds with a purpose still unknown despite encountering him for more than ten worlds. 

However, his process of transmigration was different. Unlike Jiang Li who 'borrowed' ident.i.ty from soul clients, Dong Lan seemed to reincarnate on his own. Or maybe they were undergoing the same process all along, except Dong Lan sometimes had to wait for months or years to recall his past lives. 

No matter the world, as long as the transfer[1] was successful, Dong Lan would always be the first to arrive and his ident.i.ty was as random. 

This time was no exception. 

Fifty years ago, the guy was born to poor parents amid a civil war. He was very unlucky though. The parents had no affection for him. He couldn't awaken his memories because he was born autistic. Even in death, he was mentally handicapped. 

It was only thirteen years after he pa.s.sed away that Dong Lan realized his real ident.i.ty and situation. 

But this awakening really came too late as it took place when his soul was already shackled by the villainess in a place that received no light all year round, its door sealed and hidden in a temple built in the middle of nowhere. 

Poor Dong Lan truly felt that he was pitiful and wanted to cry. But since crying would not do him any good, he immediately stopped and forced himself to brainstorm how would he escape from the place. 

Thankfully, the only thing his evil adoptive mother gave him was not just for decoration. The guy was fed up with the endless darkness so he immediately activated the sapphire earring, hoping to just arrive in the next destination. 

However, his terrible luck seemed to be not yet done with him, saying, 'You want an easy escape? In your dreams!'

He did manage to escape and reincarnate. But his soul was not really intact, and he was still in the same world. Set aside the fact that the part still trapped in the endless darkness was just a tiny part, that this one barely had any trace of consciousness like the imbecile he had first reincarnated into, the large soul fragment that escaped outside was not any luckier. 

With a deceased mother and an alcoholic father whose favorite past time was to beat him up every now and then, how could he have a good childhood? Besides, filthy things kept popping up around him and he was not so bright in his younger days to pretend he could not see them. What would be the outcome of any guy in such a condition?

Seventeen years later, he reawakened his memories. Afterward, he learned that ghosts loved to linger around him. In fact, one even possessed his body, although this ghost at least had some conscience and helped him escape from the abusive household, get a job in another city, and settle his accommodations before abandoning him. 

Dong Lan awoke at the same that Gu Mochou awakened from her coma.

The plot was already wrecked. 

This time, the boy truly cried because when he reviewed what Jiang Li did using his body, he discovered that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d ruined so many things for him. 

He felt the aura of his wife in Gu Mochou. But his wife. That f*cker, Jiang Li made her disgusted of him using his, Lang Lei slash Dong Lan's face!

Another hateful thing was that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d had swallowed that tiny, missing remnant of his, Dong Lan's, soul just so he could have a legit ident.i.ty in this world. Dong Lan was angry because, in his knowledge, the other party also an exclusive vessel in every world which meant there was no need to take somebody else's.

'Is that crazy a**hole targeting me? Are all of these intentional?'

'I already said our interests don't clash. As if it's solely my fault that a world's fate changes every time we arrive. That idiot!'

Red-eyed Dong Lan stood up from his bed, donned his clothes and went out to visit the hospital. 

The young man was in the dark yet about who caused the villainess to be hospitalized and why he did that.

As he walked out, the man did not forget to pull up a card from his pocket. There was a deck there that just magically appear. 

Jiang Li was not actually purely inventing a story when he said Zhao Bolin was gifted with the ability to predict the future. Perhaps, that was the case in the original timelines, but not in the current one. The only lie was that autistic fool already had that gift prior to Jiang Li's descent to this world. Jiang Li only knew about Gu Mochou's past and future through the system, the future was even a black screen. 

'd.a.m.n. A negative card.' Dong Lan's hand shook seeing the Ten of Swords card which screamed to him today that he would suffer a disaster or things would not go his way. 

However, the man couldn't help but want to see the reincarnation of his lover. 

When he got there, several people were crowding around the girl. Dong Lan couldn't help but stop walking. Unlike the mysterious G.o.ddess that his adoptive mother wanted him to monitor, his woman was only a normal person who reincarnates as his adopted mother's advance reward to him. Her appearance changed every time.

But for now, that all did not matter. There was a genuine smile on her extremely pale face that made him pause and stare like he got bewitched. Would that smile stay once he enters? 

Reminded of an awful memory, Dong Lan gritted his teeth and stayed outside, waiting for a chance to be alone with the girl.

Inside the room, Mrs. Gu bawled her eyes out, "Mochou… Mochou." The woman kept repeating her name and hugging her as if she was deathly afraid that her daughter's smile was just an illusion she conjured in her mind. 

Gu Mochou weakly hugged back and told her crying mother, "I'm fine now, Mom. I'm back." Her tone was full of helplessness, yet her eyes and expression showed how happy she was right now. 

"No, let me call the doctor again! I, I hate seeing you so pale and sickly. Do you know how worried I was?"

Forced laughter came from the villainess.

Days pa.s.sed. The princess of the Gu family stayed at the hospital to recuperate, sometimes visited by her female and male admirers from the university. Various news reached her ears, both from the people around her and the ghost lingering in the area.

She was informed of things that she didn't have much time to know due to being focused on the syndicate. Unlike before though when she would laugh when she found something funny, or gnash her teeth when she heard something irritating, she rarely expressed emotions.

As time pa.s.sed, the faint change that happened in her personality was observed by her family and friends. Her parents felt it the most and they didn't know at first what to think when they discovered that their daughter became more reserved and mature.

However, there were still many things hard to change.

For example, her dislike of Zhan Rong and Jiang Li. Both were people she would have no qualms cursing with all her brain.

Another example, her dislike of the person was in front of her now. Somebody she met almost a year ago in the countryside. That same guy who was younger than her but had the guts to accuse her of being a crazy admirer time and time again. 

Of course, she noticed that the young man seemed to be different from usual and the repulsive feeling did not surface. But the power of impressions was really strong.

"You really chose a time when everyone else is outside, huh." Lying in the hospital bed, Gu Mochou looked at 'Xiao Jiang' and coldly spat out.

As a full-fledged villainess who had also experienced a ghost life for several months, her sharp aura was not something an ordinary person could withstand, especially if she used her deep black eyes to glare. 

Because she had yet to have any good memory a.s.sociated with the boy, her stares were naturally unfriendly. "What are you doing here?" 

"Well..."

Dressed in a simple long-sleeved s.h.i.+rt and jeans, the boy couldn't appear more normal. Although he had the looks, it was not the type that would stand out in a crowd. Unless possessed by Jiang Li. 

However, Dong Lan had awoken. In terms of soul, he had many lifetimes to back him up so he did not appear inferior. The air of dominance around Gu Mochou wouldn't faze him even she reverted to being a vengeful spirit. 

"Hey." Even with a wry smile put on, he was able to speak calmly and without stuttering. "You're a regular there so you should have heard that I was a victim of domestic violence, right?"

The other party disinterestedly listened, stares as intense and chilly.

Dong Lan sat down on the stool beside the bed and like an awkward schoolboy who rarely talked to girls, he nervously said, "What if I told you the reason I'm not his real son and he felt cheated on by my mom so he vented his anger on me?"

Gu Mochou signaled a lingering spirit with her eyes before turning to the young man, "Mr. Xiao."

He frowned for a moment and interrupted. "It's Lang Lei, my real name."

She didn't think it was a privilege to know the other party's real name and simply continued. "You see. I've heard of so many tragic stories already and while I'm sorry about your past, it's nowhere enough to change my impression of you. Can you stop wasting my time and just tell your purpose for coming?"

"Well, my dad is actually a rich tyc.o.o.n overseas who is planning to go back to establish a branch in this city."

"Oh?" Her simple reply translated to 'So what?'

Gu Mochou's patience was running thin. The spirit saw it and began her work. It crouched down and in one swift move, it extended its right hand to grab the young man's calf. The goal was obvious. To scare him off sh*tless that he wouldn't dare return. To impress the lady boss.

However, Dong Lan could also see ghosts and was not afraid of them as he had seen worse and more powerful beings. He only moved his feet to evade the frigid hands before he answered.

"Miss Gu. I believe that our meeting is actually a work of fate. And I'm planning to recognize my ancestry."

"Hah. What does it have to with me?" Gu Mochou finally couldn't help but say with an annoyed voice. The room's temperature was dropping because the lackey ghost kept missing what it wanted to grab and became p.i.s.sed that directly reached for the chair and flipped it. 

Yet it happened that Dong Lan suddenly stood up and grabbed Gu Mochou's hands. He looked so serious as he continued speaking, "Miss Gu. Once I return to my real family, our standing won't be that apart. I'm very young so education won't be a problem too." 

"What do you think are---" The fl.u.s.tered villainess was shocked by the face that suddenly drew near. 

But her shout was interrupted by the crazy guy.

"How about we try dating?" 

'Perhaps, he'll be reincarnated as a billionaire's heir for his merits?' Jiang Li once sent this message to Gu Mochou.

However, she just regained her body and was still very weak so it was impossible for her to recognize Dong Lan's soul. On Dong Lan's side, it seemed like he only reawakened but some essential memories and skills had yet to surface.

'What did this imbecile say again?' The stupid words made Gu Mochou's brain crashed.

"…" The baffled villainess momentarily forgot to pull her hand away as she made an expression like she was looking at a r.e.t.a.r.ded guy.

[1] I put it here since Dong Lan's first transmigration was a failure (G.o.ddess' arc) XD
