Chapter 126

"Meow."

Master, this person's heart-qi is black beyond measure; I fear she will become a hidden danger to this world in the future.

Tangyuan emerged from the space and lay on its master's shoulder. One person and one cat, they peeked through the gap in the door at the retreating figure and began whispering.

"I also think there's something wrong with her. I even doubt if the original book I read before was the authentic version.

What kind of decent author would write a female lead with a character design like Lu Manman's?

Occupying the magpie's nest, stealing someone's marriage, plus a mother who climbed up as a mistress, and now she's blackened—how is she fit to be a female lead?

It's clearly the script and behavior of a vicious female supporting character; I don't understand how such a person could be the darling of the Heavenly Dao..."

Shen Man touched her smooth chin, suspicion forming in her heart.

She transmigrated into a book, transmigrating into a paper cutout character, living a life again—what kind of otome game is this?

She always felt like she was on a makeshift stage, with all the roles, but only one protagonist!

If she wanted to live a peaceful and smooth life, she had to take back everything that belonged to the protagonist, let the vicious female supporting character reap what she sowed, and reclaim the destiny that belonged to the protagonist...

Shaking the messy thoughts out of her head, Shen Man felt that human effort could achieve anything; currently, her fate had completely broken away from the content of the original book, and the new script had already changed.

She would not die miserably as written in the original text.

And Lu Manman and her mother shouldn't even think about living a prosperous and happy life like in the original text!

"Meow."

Master, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you.

A flash of gravity and determination crossed Tangyuan's eyes. Yes, there is only one darling of the world's Heavenly Dao.

In the battle for the Child of Destiny, the winner can only be its master!

"Alright, Lu Manman is reaping what she sowed; she can't be saved. Now that she has the jade pendant she's been longing for, she must be dying to get back to the guesthouse to bind the space with a drop of blood..."

Shen Man stood up straight, held Tangyuan in her arms from her shoulder, and turned to walk into the house.

Today, the other party really bled heavily.

She really gave her all her savings and even bought her a brand-new bicycle.

Tsk tsk, she even felt a little pang of conscience.

But, it felt inexplicably good.

A month later, when the other party had put all her precious things into the space and suddenly the space disappeared, taking her most prized possessions with it, what would the other party do?

"Come, come, eat some sponge cake. This was bought with Lu Manman's money. From now on, you can have as much as you want; there's plenty."

"Meow."

Upon hearing "sponge cake," the worried look on Tangyuan's face suddenly cleared up.

"Tomorrow I'll go to Wangjie's house and ask her if anyone knows how to build an oven, and ask about the costs for labor and materials..."

Shen Man tapped the little glutton's nose; Tangyuan really loved sponge cake.

It was a pity that electric rice cookers weren't widely sold on the market in this era.

Even if there were, they would require foreign exchange certificates, and those things wouldn't circulate in the market for another five or six years.

In any case, the little courtyard didn't have electricity now, so she couldn't use an electric rice cooker anyway.

In a few years, when home appliances gradually become available and the little courtyard gets electricity, life will be even more relaxed.

Shen Man kept herself busy so she wouldn't miss the man who had left home so much.

For the next period of time, she, Tangyuan, her sister-in-law, and her grandfather would be relying on each other.

A warship in the eyes of humans is a behemoth, but in the eyes of the ocean, it appears very small.

In the morning, they broke up the original formation, regrouped, and assigned living quarters.

It was noon, and the squads entered the canteen in staggered shifts; they had ten minutes, speed, speed!

It was standardized mess-hall food; the taste was average, but no one complained.

The nature of a soldier is to obey orders and endure hardship...

Lu Xiu Bai didn't know if he had been unlucky yesterday, getting a fish bone stuck in his throat, but today his luck was very good; he happened to be assigned to the same square formation and the same large bunk as his brother-in-law!

And Gangzi, his good brother, was also in this squad, and also in the same large bunk!

What a coincidence!

Whenever he was lucky, he felt that there was nothing to complain about regarding his special constitution.

Fortune and misfortune are interdependent; that's quite good too!

After eating heartily, he felt a bit thirsty and subconsciously wanted to reach for the canteen hanging from his brother-in-law's waist.

"Don't touch it."

Jiang Ye coldly slapped away his brother-in-law's hand, protectively guarding the canteen at his waist.

"I'm thirsty; can't I even have a drink of water?"

Ever since Lu Xiu Bai became this man's brother-in-law, he hadn't suffered such a setback.

This person changed his face faster than the weather on the Sea Island!

Sure enough, he was truly in love with his sister; as for him, the brother-in-law, he was just discarded when he had no utility value.

"Brother Lu, drink mine; I have water in my canteen too."

Seeing this, Gangzi hurriedly took off the canteen from his waist. He was observant; Regiment Commander Jiang was famous for his mysophobia—had Brother Lu forgotten?

It was truly amazing that these two could have the relationship of brother-in-law and brother-in-law!

"Hey, Gangzi is the one who's decent; Brother will cover you."

Lu Xiu Bai didn't refuse; he was truly thirsty.

They only had ten minutes to eat, as tight as a battle.

There was no time for pushing and shoving; just drink and be done with it.

"Hey, thanks, Brother Lu."

Gangzi responded readily and continued shoveling food into his mouth.

Nothing beats wolfing down food; chewing slowly is good for the body?

Please, this is a military exercise, this is special training, not children playing house!

If you don't eat your fill, how can you deal with the upcoming military exercises and emergencies?

While Lu Xiu Bai was drinking water, Jiang Ye had already finished his boxed meal and stood up to return his tray to the food cart.

What hung from his waist wasn't just a canteen, but his wife's full care and love for him.

The brother-in-law had a wife too, so how could he have the nerve to compete with him?

He rubbed the watch on his left wrist; it was one o'clock in the afternoon. He wondered if his wife had eaten and if she missed him.

In the guesthouse, Room 214.

Lu Manman closed the door with a beaming face and locked it.

Then, she took the jade pendant out of her pocket with extreme solemnity, her expression almost devout, and muttered to herself—

"Jade pendant space, you have finally returned to my hands!"

"Hahaha, with you, I will recreate the happy life of my previous life!"

"I, Lu Manman, am the destiny female lead of this world; the world must revolve around me!"

"Shen Man, you idiot, wait until I finish dealing with things, then I'll come to settle the score with you!"

Lu Manman's face was ferocious as she stroked the jade pendant, almost intoxicated.

She would repay the humiliation she had received in the past few days back to Shen Man a hundredfold in the future!

Now, the top priority was to bind the space!

"Hiss."

She bit her index finger, and a drop of scarlet blood dripped onto the jade pendant.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Every second was torture!

When she counted to ten seconds, finally, the jade pendant lit up with a jade-like luster!

It worked!

Just like when she got the jade pendant in her previous life, she had it!

The next second, Lu Manman's consciousness entered the space...
