Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 501: Meeting

Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Meeting

Su Tao broke up with Lu Fengyun a fortnight ago.

She always thought that Lu Fengyun was different.

Over the past half a year, she has exhausted all her accumulated points and aura to help Lu Fengyun realize his so-called ambitions.

But as she got closer to him, she gradually noticed something awry.

The system had initially told her that those whose aura was being drained would not be affected.

Moreover, the amount of aura it sucked was minimal, nowhere near enough to cause any errors.

She believed this for the past three years.

However, two months ago, as temperatures plummeted in Kyoto, multitudes fell sick.

The medicine that she had exchanged from the System Mall was not only useless but also made many people suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, almost costing them their lives.

Only then did she begin to question this so-called system.

Upon checking in on the people around her, she discovered that everyone was ill, and having troubled families.

And without exception, they were all people who were extremely close to her, the ones whose destinies had been drained most frequently by the system.

She didn’t want to hurt people, but many had already been harmed because of her.

Due to the medicinal incident, Lu Fengyun was extremely embarrassed. Instead of asking her about it, he even had a fierce quarrel with her.

The boy who would blush at a mere glance from her was long gone, and his normally clear and lucid eyes were now tarnished by power to the point where his original appearance could hardly be discerned.

It was only then that she saw him clearly.

She initially thought they were both from the same town, able to support each other in this alien world.

In the end, she was just a mere pawn in his hands.

Of course, Su Tao was upset, but if she continued to stay with him, she feared that she’d lose her temper.

Far from being a talent among the people of Kyoto, that man was nothing more than a thief who plagiarized and stole the words and verses of poets to adorn himself.

All that he truly knew had long been exposed for all to see. The current Lu Fengyun was nothing more than a fool who harbored delusions of grandeur.

She used up all her points to exchange for antibiotics. Apart from those she tossed into the wells in Kyoto, the rest went into her space.

Upon learning of this, Lu Fengyun was so furious that he berated her for not giving him any antibiotics.

In his wrath, he even locked Su Tao up in the woodshed.

With her emotions completely deadened, Su Tao fled from Kyoto under the cover of night.

She needed to leave quickly.

Lu Fengyun had changed a long time ago. If she didn’t flee soon, her fate wouldn’t be any better.

A man of self-interest would always only look out for himself, who would consider others?

[Lu Fengyun’s aura is almost formed!]

The tone of the system was full of bitterness, but Su Tao simply dismissed it with a sneer.

The aura on Lu Fengyun was extremely strong. After an initial drain by the system, it had been waiting patiently since.

It was waiting for Lu Fengyun’s feelings for her to rise to a perfect hundred, at which point it would even be able to suction out his purple aura.

But due to the squabbles they had over the past month, Lu Fengyun’s feelings for her were dropping drastically and had already fallen to seventy points.

The opportunity of devouring aura that was already at the tip of its tongue had been lost, and the system could only wish to strangle Su Tao to death.

"What’s it to me! You never sincerely wanted to bind to me from the start, why should I consider your concerns?"

[Host, you’re not afraid of dying, are you!]

Having been blocked by her all the way, the system’s patience was almost exhausted.

"Oh, yes I am afraid, but why didn’t you strike when I left Kyoto if you could kill me?"

Su Tao sneered, finding the system only repulsive.

Perhaps the system had concealed many more things from her in the past three years!

[What about your points? The points can be used to exchange for anything in the System Mall, allowing you to live better than anyone in this world. Do you really not want them?]

The system knew Su Tao the best.

Noticing that it was at a disadvantage, it had to come up with even more appealing conditions in an attempt to sway her.

No system ever deemed its aura surplus, especially when Su Tao, aside from being hard to control occasionally, was an extremely efficient mission executor.

As long as she could go back to how she used to be, she would be able to gain lots of aura.

Su Tao did not respond, just pondering in her heart how to get rid of it.

Having lived for two lifetimes, she hadn’t met anyone who could manipulate her so thoroughly.

So what if she lost those things? Su Tao could still live well on her own.

Recalling the two women she had previously seen in the village, Su Tao felt a sense of yearning. If she could find a serene place to live in, and if she had two friends, it would be enough.

Three hundred points were enough for her to live for another decade or so.

If she could live until then, it would be satisfactory for her.

As for this nauseating system, she had to find a way to shake it off.

After much difficulty, Shen Yuntian and his men reached the city gate, only to have their happiness short-lived as the wheel of the cart fell off without warning.

The sacks of food had been cut open by fragments of wood, leaving the five men at a loss.

They were all filled with rice, which would cause trouble if spilled on the snowy ground.

However, if they didn’t quickly move the sacks into the city, given the severity of the snowfall, they might just freeze to death.

To make matters worse, the gates of Yan City were tightly shut and the soldiers who were supposed to be on guard duty were nowhere to be seen.

"Is there anyone there!"

"Come out and help!"

Their voices were filled with urgency, but no matter how they shouted, there was no response.

The guards who were originally stationed by the city gate were just about to end their shift, which made the shouts from the men outside the city fall on deaf ears.

Seeing that no one was coming to their assistance, Shen Yuntian made up his mind to take off his clothes.

When the bag of grain was wrapped in his clothes and moved quickly, they could enter the city in less than fifteen minutes.

If they kept standing outside like idiots, they’d all catch a cold.

"Brother Yuntian?"

Shen Miaomiao had heard a commotion and initially didn’t want the caravan to go over in case it was a trap. When she got a clearer picture, she stopped the caravan from going any further.

"Miaomiao?"

Upon hearing his name, Shen Yuntian hesitated and stopped undressing.

Looking over, he saw a caravan not far from him, and Shen Miaomiao cheerfully waving and greeting him.

The other four men looked at Shen Miaomiao’s caravan with some confusion, but they didn’t ask any questions and simply stood waiting for them to come over.

"What happened?"

Once the caravan got closer, Shen Miaomiao voiced her confusion.

In such freezing weather with snow, why was he stripping?

"The sacks of grain got ripped. There’s no one guarding the city gate. I thought I’d take off my clothes to pack up the sacks and hurry into the city." Shen Yuntian scratched his head, explaining in embarrassment.
