Chapter 2 Revenge
The morning sun shines brightly, but only a sliver of light penetrates the bottom level of the urban village.
Huan Yuechu slowly woke up, raised her hand and pounded her head hard. The pain from the alcohol had gone numb, and her mind was blank. She picked up the water glass by the bed and took a sip of water.
Then I remembered that I had just entered through a door. Where am I?
Huan Yuechu's cold eyes slowly swept around, and in an instant, an old and decaying aura surged in like a tide, making people frown.
What came into view was a dilapidated and cramped room. The room was so narrow that it was suffocating, barely allowing one person to pass through.
At that moment, a memory flashed through my mind like a shooting star. I closed my eyes tightly and tried hard to recall the little girl's life.
This is a pitiful little girl! Her name is Huan Yuechu, and she grew up alone in an orphanage since childhood.
With the warm support of kind-hearted people in the community, she persevered through high school and was admitted to Jiangxin University with outstanding grades, and is about to graduate! During this period, she worked part-time to earn her living expenses.
However, while working part-time at a bar, she was forced to drink alcohol by a customer, resulting in excessive alcohol intake. She was unable to go to the hospital in time, which led to her falling into a coma and suffocating. Her body was not discovered until a week later, and because no one claimed it, it remained quietly in the funeral home.
My arrival was like a spring breeze, quickly warming this body.
I got out of bed and moved my hands and feet around. I felt a perfect fit with this body and didn't experience any rejection. It was indeed carefully chosen by the mysterious person.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but the room felt eerily gloomy. Even though I'm a monster who's lived for a thousand years and isn't afraid of these things, I still have to say something since I'm using someone else's body.
I looked up and said, "Huan Yuechu, I used your body, and I will repay kindness with kindness and avenge wrongs. I will live in your place, live a wonderful and valuable life."
After I finished speaking, I felt much warmer around me. From my memories, I realized that this was not the world I knew, but it was not much different. This world was a bit more intelligent.
As a magical herb, I know everything I should know, and I also go out to play when I have nothing to do.
With a gurgling sound, the happy memories were shattered. I was now a human and felt hungry. I rummaged around and found only a piece of bread. I opened my wallet... a hundred yuan. Waaah, this is too much of a rip-off for Fairy Grass.
Am I going to go hungry right away? When have I ever suffered such indignity on Phoenix Mountain? The volcanic eruption and the rumbling of my stomach—ultimately, my stomach prevailed. I looked at the piece of bread…
As darkness fell, I took the last hundred yuan, opened the door, and found myself in a narrow corridor with equally dilapidated rooms on both sides.
I grabbed a quick bite at a snack shop, and after I was full, I got down to business. There was a part-time job at the bar that night, and the worst part was that the boss was withholding a week's wages from me—a whole thousand yuan!
We must get it back. Although it only has one layer of spiritual power, passing through walls is not a problem; it only takes a second to get there.
I arrived at the bar entrance and sneaked backstage. The owner was counting money and was startled when he saw me suddenly appear.
"How...how did you get in?" the boss stammered.
I sneered, "What, are you feeling guilty? You don't want to get your wages, do you?"
Seeing this, the boss quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Not at all, I just didn't expect you to show up so suddenly. Here, this is your salary."
I took the money, counted it, and sure enough, it was exactly one thousand yuan.
"Come to me again if you need any work next time," I said with a smile, then turned and left.
"When did this guy become so eloquent! And he's so elusive." The shopkeeper shook his head and muttered, but didn't stop counting the money.
The bar corridor was brightly lit when suddenly a bottle shattered in front of me with a "crash." The air was thick with the smell of alcohol, and I looked up with my deep eyes.
Wow! Isn't this that drunk customer from yesterday? Is he trying to force someone to drink again?
The protagonist was none other than my college classmate, Li Xue. Last night, the same scene unfolded. Li Xue was being harassed and forced to drink alcohol. She looked at me with pitiful eyes, and I rescued her out of consideration for our friendship. However, she repaid kindness with enmity by introducing me to Boss Li. She then turned and left, leaving me in a desperate situation.
At this moment, Li Xue looked at me with pleading eyes. Seeing that I was unmoved, a hint of resentment and jealousy flashed in Li Xue's eyes.
With a "slap," the girl's face instantly turned bright red. "You actually dare to ask a stranger for help? You're not as obedient as Huan Yuechu yesterday. I'd like to see who dares to save you!"
Everyone calls him Boss Li, but we call him Drunkard Li in private because he doesn't like drinking, but he likes to force people to drink, which is more terrifying than a ghost. No pretty girl with a good figure can escape his clutches.
He turned to look at me, a lewd grin spreading across his face, his chin furrowing even deeper! "Yuechu! Come in and have a drink, I haven't had much to drink while you were gone! Money's no problem, come in."
I didn't want to deal with this drunkard, thinking to myself, "If it weren't for... you wouldn't still be standing here." I said, "I'm not a waiter," and was about to leave.
Li Jiugui, feeling humiliated, snarled and cursed, "You little bitch... don't push your luck."
Afraid that I would run away, Li Xue quickly stepped forward, grabbed my hand tightly, and pulled me into the private room. If it weren't for the rule that I shouldn't hurt others at will, I probably would have kicked her away long ago!
The door to the private room closed, and I shoved Li Xue aside, a mocking smile playing on my lips. I scanned the surroundings to make sure there were no cameras, making things easier.
Li, the drunkard, stood in front of me, holding a bottle of red wine and showing off, "At the beginning of the month, have you never drunk red wine before? With your status, you've probably never even seen it. You're in luck today!"
Why are you putting on such a dramatic show? You're supposed to be lucky? I think you're just incredibly unlucky.
Li the Drunkard poured the wine into his glass, pretending to swirl it. Seeing that I didn't move, he angrily said, "Huan Yuechu, don't be so stubborn! Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being heartless!" He then gestured to Li Xue with his eyes, as if to say, "If she won't drink, you will."
"At the beginning of the month, you should just stay put and drink! Don't anger Boss Li." Li Xue, that green tea b*tch, was advising me on the surface, but secretly she was saying that I didn't know what was good for me.
Suddenly, Li Jiugui couldn't sit still any longer. He took his cup and walked right up to me, gesturing for Li Xue to pry open my mouth. Just a second before Li Xue got close to me...
I kicked Li Xue directly in the stomach. "Ah!" Li Xue clutched her stomach and fell to the ground, completely bewildered. She clearly didn't expect that I, who was honest and kind, would do something like hitting her.
Li the Drunkard realized what was happening and raised his hand to punch me. I grabbed a bottle from the table and smashed it over Li the Drunkard's head. With a thud, a trickle of blood flowed from Li the Drunkard's forehead, making him look just like a vampire.
"Ah! You brat, I'll never forgive you!" Li Jiugui took out his phone to call for help.
Before I could make the call, I kicked him away. With a crash, Li the Drunkard was kicked over the table and fell onto the sofa.
I took the last bottle of wine and walked up to Li, the drunkard. I patted his flushed face and said, "Want me to drink some more?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Li Jiugui said tremblingly.
You like to force people to drink, don't you? Well, let me show you. "You think you can drink a lot? Then drink this bottle of wine in my hand."
Li, the drunkard, trembled and shrank back. "I...I can't drink that much, please let me go! I'll never do it again!"
"Drink! How can you not experience what you love to do most!" My fists were cracking; if he didn't drink, things wouldn't be this simple!
Li, the drunkard, trembled as he picked up the bottle and drank, coughing and vomiting as he drank.
As I walked out of the bar, I thought to myself: Finally got the money, can I buy some good food now? But this world is truly interesting, there are still so many things I don't know!
