Quick Transmigration: The Villain Boss is a Bit Cute - Chapter 138
Chapter 138
Su Hua tried to clear her throat but only managed a single syllable before the pain in her throat became unbearable.
“De’er, medicine, medicine, medicine.”
“Deduct 1,000 points.”
“…” A vampire! Heartless merchant!
“Host, take it or leave it.”
“Call me Goddess.”
“…!” The host was definitely doing this on purpose!
Seeing no response from De’er, Su Hua hurriedly said, “Buy, buy, buy. This goddess is in pain!”
A pill materialized in her hand.
She quickly swallowed it, and a wave of comfort coursed through her body.
Her legs no longer ached, her waist stopped hurting, her throat felt fine—and even her heartbeat ceased.
“???” De’er was stunned.
Su Hua finally stood up, surveying the dilapidated room around her, and felt the urge to curse.
The original host of this body was just cannon fodder—a woman who had the opportunity to gain the Emperor’s favor but instead chose to act aloof, paving the way for the female protagonist.
After some thought, Su Hua began absorbing the storyline of the villainous boss.
The villain in this world was named Wei Jue—or rather Song Jue, though he detested his surname and always referred to himself as Wei Jue.
Wei Jue was a hostage sent from the Liang Kingdom to the Qian Kingdom.
Three years ago, the Emperor of Liang wasn’t Song Qimo but his father, the late Emperor.
The late Emperor doted on Wei Jue from a young age.
During a truce negotiation between the two nations, the Qian Kingdom demanded a hostage, and the late Emperor, after a show of reluctance, sent Wei Jue, his most beloved son.
This shocked everyone, earning the late Emperor praise for his willingness to sacrifice even his favorite child for the nation.
Naturally, life as a hostage in the Qian Kingdom was harsh for Wei Jue, especially since he was known as the late Emperor’s favorite.
He was bullied even more cruelly.
Living such a miserable existence, Wei Jue became consumed by thoughts of revenge.
Why should his life be one of suffering, spent protecting someone else?
He hated Song Qimo!
Thus, Wei Jue endured humiliation and began plotting rebellion.
In the early stages, Wei Jue indeed gained a considerable amount of power.
As the late Emperor’s most beloved son, and with the sudden death of the Emperor without leaving an edict, many considered Song Qi Mo’s ascension illegitimate.
Wei Jue’s influence steadily grew.
He fought numerous battles, leaving tens of thousands dead, and claimed victory in every one.
In the end, Song Qimo, with the help of Mu Chengxue’s system, defeated Wei Jue, who then took his own life in the imperial prison.

[Main quest: Use your money to save the villain and prevent his blackening.] *Ding!*
[Hidden quest: Help Wei Jue unify the world.] “Unify the world?” Su Hua’s eyes lit up as she licked her dry lips.
“My blade is itching for action.”
“…” De’er silently added another note about Su Hua’s eccentric personality.
Growl….
Her stomach protested at an inopportune moment.
Su Hua, who had Middle grade school syndrome, patted her stomach and sighed, “Forget unifying the world. Filling my belly is more important.”
As she stepped outside, a biting wind greeted her.
“Winter’s here. The boss is still in a distant kingdom. I wonder if he’s warm or has enough to eat?”
Far away, Wei Jue suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, muttering, “Am I catching a cold?”
While speaking, Su Hua retrieved a piece of bread from her space and began eating.
“I’d kill for some proper food.”
A maid dressed in a faded palace dress entered the courtyard, carrying a food box.
Seeing Su Hua standing in the cold, she rushed over.
“My lady, why are you out in the wind?”
Recognizing her, Su Hua realized this was Qiu Yun, the original host’s maid.
Qiu Yun hurriedly ushered her inside, placed the food box on the shabby table, and then noticed the charred piece of bread in Su Hua’s hand.
Tears welled up in Qiu Yun’s eyes.
“My lady, that bun is burnt. You can’t eat it!”
She reached to snatch the bread, but Su Hua deftly avoided her.
“My lady, please don’t eat that. I managed to get some white porridge and cabbage. It’s not much, but it’s better than that!”
Opening the food box, Qiu Yun revealed a bowl of watery porridge and a small plate of cabbage.
Though meager, it was not spoiled and must have been obtained with great effort.
Su Hua took another piece of bread from her space.
“Here, try this.”
Qiu Yun hesitated, then noticed the bread’s packaging.
She couldn’t help but be curious.
“My lady, what is this?”
Su Hua tore open the packaging and handed it to her.
“Try it.”
Hesitating as if it were poison, Qiu Yun finally took a large bite.
Her eyes lit up in astonishment.
“It’s soft and sweet!”
Her frost-bitten face broke into a delighted smile as she savored it.
“This is amazing,” Qiu Yun exclaimed, but after eating half, she carefully wrapped the rest.
“What are you saving it for?” Su Hua said bluntly.
“Finish it now—it’ll spoil once opened.”
Startled, Qiu Yun reluctantly ate the rest.
“How did you get that porridge and cabbage?”
Su Hua asked, feeling a bit stronger after the bread.
Qiu Yun hesitated.
“A kind eunuch gave it to me.”
“A kind eunuch?”
Su Hua scrutinized her.
“Where’s the hairpin I gave you?”
At this, Qiu Yun knelt, trembling.
“I’m sorry, my lady. I traded it…”
“Stand up.”
“My lady?”
“Stand up.”
Her commanding tone left no room for refusal, and Qiu Yun obeyed, confused by her mistress’s newfound authority.
*Ding!*
[Random task: Spend 10 taels of silver within an hour. Silver has been deposited into your space. Please retrieve it.] Su Hua accessed the space and took the silver. Looking at the bewildered Qiu Yun, Su Hua ordered, “Call the guard at the gate.” Though hesitant, Qiu Yun did as instructed, feeling that her mistress had changed. The guard reluctantly approached.
“What do you want?”
Su Hua placed a silver ingot on the table.
The guard’s eyes lit up.
After all, 1 tael of silver was a fortune.
Before he could speak, Su Hua placed a total of 10 taels on the table.
The guard was stunned; his monthly salary was only 3 taels.
Just as he reached for the silver, Su Hua grabbed his hand.
“What are you doing?”
He tried to pull away, but her grip was unyielding, like being pinned to a pillar.
He turned to look at her, only to meet pitch-black eyes, deep as a void, pulling him into endless darkness.
A shiver ran down his spine as Su Hua flung him against the doorframe.
Pain shot through his back.
