Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 507 - 4: I’m a Woman (4)

Li Shuning spent an entire day and night alone in her room before finally merging her cultivation with this body, enhancing her physical condition, which naturally allowed her spiritual power to integrate as well.

Feeling the surging spiritual power, Li Shuning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter which world you are in, strong power is fundamental.

Of course, not everything can be solved by simply overpowering it.

In the storyline, the tragic fate of the original owner and her family all originated from Luo Xiao and Shen Jian. How could she let these two off the hook?

Li Shuning restrained her aura; she was now only a Second Rank Spiritual Ability User, so how could she show too strong a presence?

After coming out of the room, she looked around but couldn’t find Shen Jian. It wasn’t until evening that she saw Shen Jian and Luo Xiao.

Seeing Li Shuning awake, Shen Jian also breathed a sigh of relief: "Shuning, you’re finally awake. I was worried sick, but this time going back, it’s definitely going to be troublesome."

Li Shuning suddenly said, "Brother Shen, if you were worried about me, I’ve been awake for a day, but I haven’t seen you. It seems your concern is just words. They say true feelings are revealed in adversity. In my moments of unconsciousness, I’ve truly witnessed the warmth and coldness of human nature. Even my family’s robot stayed by my side, step by step. I considered you a good friend, but... heh..."

The rest of her words went unsaid as Li Shuning turned and went back to her room.

Shen Jian was stunned on the spot.

The Li Shuning he remembered was always cheerful and generous, constantly wearing a smile. He had never seen her throw a tantrum like that.

For a moment, Shen Jian was dumbfounded, even a bit dazzled. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Beside him, Luo Xiao was somewhat displeased. Who was this woman to be so attractive? Judging by her relationship with Shen Jian, it didn’t seem ordinary.

But a narrow-minded woman like that, Shen Jian probably wouldn’t like her.

However, Shen Jian was a bit anxious, knowing Li Shuning too well. If she was truly angry, it would be hard to appease her. But today, it wasn’t intentional that he wasn’t by her side; the robot had pushed him out, and his most revered idol was there, causing the situation.

Shen Jian gritted his teeth, not knowing what to do, hesitating for a moment.

Luo Xiao’s thoughts were simple: after such a brush with death and living anew, meeting someone who looked exactly like an old love, no matter what, he had to get to know her.

In these past two days, getting along initially, she found a liking for Shen Jian, a man who wasn’t pretentious, worldly, or calculating—enthusiastic and genuine. She liked that.

In the past, she was too exhausted, reaching such a high position where everyone feared her, yet ultimately was plotted against by the Imperial Family.

She was engineered to fall off a cliff deliberately, but unfortunately for them, she didn’t die; they definitely wouldn’t fare well either.

Did they really think she wasn’t prepared? If she died, the border would certainly catch fire, and the Imperial Family would suffer too.

As for whether the citizens would suffer, it was none of her concern. Blame the Imperial Family instead.

This woman, whether in her original world or here, was selfish, resorting to any means to achieve her goals.

Thinking about the past, Luo Xiao felt a bit depressed.

Seeing her looking unwell, Shen Jian hurriedly asked, "Brother Luo, is there an issue with your wound? How about we go back and rest a bit?"

When Luo Xiao came down from the starship, Shen Jian was the first person he met. Luo Xiao, covered in blood and with minor wounds, inexplicably disclosed his identity to Shen Jian and showed vulnerability.

Seeing the young man’s concern, Luo Xiao’s mood improved instantly.

Having a new beginning meant she wouldn’t allow herself to lose anything anymore.

Speaking of which, the minor wounds on Luo Xiao could be healed by just getting into a medical cabin and soaking in some repair liquid.

Yet Luo Xiao didn’t do that.

How could Shen Jian be Luo Xiao’s opponent, especially while helping take care of him? In his eyes, Luo Xiao was a great hero, his idol.

Inside the house, Li Shuning saw Shen Jian helping someone into the next room and smirked coldly.

That very night, Li Shuning went to the space station, identified herself, boarded the starship of the Sky Blue Star’s guard fleet, and returned to Purple Cloud Star.

Her solo return immediately alarmed both families.

Could something have happened? Did the two kids get into a fight?

With the two families living so close, the Li Family hadn’t even had time to ask anything when Li Shuning returned looking travel-worn, took a shower, changed her clothes, and emerged as the Shen Family’s members arrived.

Shen Jian’s mother, Gu Xiaoyan, with a bit of anxiety, asked, "Ningning, why did you come back by yourself? Did that brat Shen Jian make you angry? I heard from Shen Jian that you were unwell earlier. Are you alright now?"

Gu Xiaoyan asked this to also find out about Shen Jian’s situation indirectly—why he didn’t return with her.

In these days, all communications with Sky Blue Star had been blocked due to a lockdown, so apart from the initial contact Shen Jian made with Purple Cloud Star, they hadn’t been able to communicate since.

This had Gu Xiaoyan a bit worried.

Li Shuning pouted, looking hurt.

She then immediately threw herself into the arms of her mother, Wang Yulan, and began to cry.

"Whoa, mom, I always thought I grew up with Shen Jian, like a brother. I never expected that in times of trouble, I’d find out he doesn’t see me at all. It makes me furious. I was unconscious for so long, and when I woke up, I found he was sightseeing on Sky Blue Star with another guy, even staying together."

"My health wasn’t great, yet my relationship with Shen Jian for so many years couldn’t compare to a mere acquaintance. That man looked like he had surface-level injuries only. I heard from my mushroom-headed servant that the man came off a battling starship. Wouldn’t a starship that large have a medical cabin? Why would Shen Jian need to take care of him?"

"Humph, since he doesn’t care about our years of friendship, I won’t consider him a friend anymore."

Wang Yulan comforted Li Shuning with a heart full of sympathy. Although she said nothing initially, internally, she felt a bit of resentment.

Previously, she thought Shen Jian was good, that Ningning got along well with him. But now, it seemed she needed to reconsider.

To chill Ningning’s heart for an outsider was really displeasing.

Gu Xiaoyan, however, felt relieved; Shen Jian was safe, which was all that mattered to her.

Yet, upon hearing what Li Shuning said, Gu Xiaoyan also grew cautious. Who was that person?

Why were they entangled with Shen Jian? What were their motives?

Sky Blue Star was too far, and with no contact possible, Gu Xiaoyan felt momentarily helpless.

Finding no solution, she began recalling what Li Shuning had said.

As she pondered, dissatisfaction began to grow in her heart.
