Flirting with the Villain’s Mother

Shen Su transmigrates into a xianxia tragedy as a minor character.

To stay alive, she vows to keep her distance from the protagonists and the villain.

One day, a beautiful woman faints in front of her palanquin. The woman looks delicate and frail, with pale lips and a bony frame, as if she couldn’t hurt a fly. Shen Su’s heart softens, and she rescues her.

Who could have guessed the woman was the mother of Jiang Xu, the story’s great villain?

The beautiful villain, dressed in red, gazes at her with sincere tenderness as she entrusts her mother to Shen Su.

Looking at the future villain, who would one day be consumed by hatred after falling in love and slaughter the entire protagonist group, Shen Su trembles, cold sweat running down her back. “I’ll treat Madam like my own mother and take good care of her!”

And so Shen Su embarks on a life of looking after someone else’s mother.

The delicate beauty is an excellent cook, gorgeous to look at, and well-versed in obscure cultivation techniques. She’s a walking manual of immortal cultivation. Aside from her ruined spiritual root, frail health, and tendency to cry, she has no flaws.

As time passes, the two begin to feel they should have met sooner.

By a twist of fate, Shen Su helps her restore her spiritual root. With no way to repay her, the beauty tearfully offers her beautiful daughter’s hand in marriage.

Shen Su glances at the gentle, pale-skinned beauty, so delicate she seems fragile. “Your daughter won’t do, but you would be perfect, Madam.”

Moonlight like a sheer veil offers a little cover to the beauty’s flushed face. She lowers her head slightly, her gaze drifting. “All right.”

[Little scene]

Jiang Xu had depended on her mother since childhood. After her mother’s spiritual root was severed, Jiang Xu thought only of revenge. But when she had to travel far away to cultivate, she had no choice but to entrust her mother to someone else.

During the cultivation world’s grand tournament, she ran into her gentle, soft-spoken mother in a secret realm. Her mother had just defeated the self-important top prodigy and Jiang Xu’s beloved senior sister with a single sword strike. Then she eagerly turned to the girl behind her, who had a foxtail grass stalk hanging from her mouth. “Xiao Su, should we kill the man and spare the woman?”

Shen Su never expected the villain’s mother to be even crazier than the villain. Ever since her spiritual root was restored, she’d start a fight at the slightest provocation.

Looking at the male lead, whose mouth was twitching as he shook with rage, Shen Su silently repeated, “You can’t see me, you can’t see me” three times.

She turned to leave, only to find the great villain who had been missing for days standing behind her. The other woman looked conflicted, as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t.

Shen Su backed away in a panic and clung to the beautiful mother’s arm. “We can negotiate if you want my life, but I’m not giving you my mother!”
