“ROAR!” Hu Xiao let out a beastly roar, but he didn’t dare move another inch.
“Alright, now tell me.
Who is the useless one?
Who is the real trash?” Su Cha’s eyes suddenly curved into a smile.
She lowered her head and leaned in closer, scraping her dagger back and forth against the bloodstained tiger pelt.
“In the arena, life and death are fair game.”
A surge of terror rose from the depths of Hu Xiao’s heart, giving him the illusion that he would be torn to shreds in the very next second.
Fortunately, a voice from the crowd intervened just in time.
“Hu Xiao, concede graciously.”
Coming back to his senses, Hu Xiao hurriedly transformed into his human form.
Standing up, he still glared angrily at the young woman before him and snapped, “I yield!
I’m the useless one.
I’m the real trash, alright?”
Laughter instantly erupted from the crowd.
Hu Xiao’s face flushed hot, leaving him utterly humiliated and overwhelmed with shame.
Su Cha scoffed coldly.
She put away her dagger and looked toward the person who had just spoken.
It was a handsome male Beastman.
His refined features showed no hint of roughness, exuding a gentle, elegant aura that made one feel like sitting in a warm spring breeze.
Cradled in his arms was a teary-eyed Yunxi.
Mo Ze!
A Fifth-rank Beastman with a white tiger beast form, and the chosen successor to be the next Clan Leader.
The man’s identity surfaced clearly in Su Cha’s mind.
After a single glance, she looked away.
Hu Xiao stood behind Mo Ze, muttering in dissatisfaction, “So what if you won?
Mo Ze will never become the mate of a vicious female like you.” But after being swept by Su Cha’s sharp, icy gaze, he quickly snapped his mouth shut and looked elsewhere.
At those words, Mo Ze frowned.
He looked at Su Cha—who seemed entirely different from any previous time they had met—and finally spoke with visible difficulty.
“Su Cha, Yunxi and I…”
Unexpectedly, a sneer cut him off.
Su Cha wiped the sweat from her forehead, not even sparing him a glance, yet everyone present knew exactly who she was talking about.
“Whoever wants a fickle bastard can have him.”
Fight over a mate?
Not a chance.
A scumbag like this—who didn’t love the original owner of her body but kept stringing her along—would only appeal to someone as brain-damaged as the original Su Cha.
Ignoring Mo Ze’s terribly darkened expression and the petrified crowd behind her, she turned to leave.
She needed to go back and treat her wounds.
There was another tough battle to fight tomorrow, and she had to rest up first.
She still couldn’t believe such a bizarre thing had actually happened to her.
One moment she was in the rear lines of a battlefield rescuing the wounded, and the next, a bomb had blasted her straight into the world of a novel.
She had transmigrated into the body of the vicious supporting female character who shared her exact name.
Unlike typical romance transmigration novels, this book was set in a Beastman world.
The female protagonist was a local inhabitant, an incredibly talented Fox Clan female named Tu Yunxi.
This female protagonist was quite resourceful, and Mo Ze was merely one of her leading men.
When Su Cha was reading the book, she had felt that Tu Yunxi was a bit manipulative, two-faced, and rather ruthless.
The original Su Cha and Yunxi were bitter rivals who fought fiercely throughout the story.
Unfortunately, the vicious supporting character was never a match for the protagonist.
Not only was her childhood sweetheart snatched away, but she was also schemed into being bound to a severely ill Snake Clan Beastman.
Her husband, Cang Yuan, would later become the biggest villain in the novel.
Although he would eventually die at the hands of the male and female leads, he did manage to survive until the very end.
As for the vicious supporting character she now inhabited?
She wouldn’t even survive past the next winter.
Today was Yunxi and Mo Ze’s mating ceremony.
Overestimating her own capabilities, the original owner had gone to steal the groom, demanding a duel with Yunxi where the winner would get to mate with Mo Ze.
This followed the Beastman world’s unspoken rule of respecting the strong.
The original owner had technically won, but she had used despicable methods and suffered serious injuries herself in the process.
The original Su Cha was not a good person.
She caused endless trouble and served as the catalyst for both Yunxi and Mo Ze’s relationship and the villain’s descent into darkness.
Ultimately, she was killed by the villain.
What a sin!
Three days later.
Pushing open the door of the dilapidated wooden cabin, she saw her villainous husband, Cang Yuan, brewing medicine.
His sharp, chiseled features looked like the work of heaven, and his deep green eyes resembled the finest jade.
The simple, rough clothes he wore did nothing to diminish his innate, regal aura.
In the original owner’s memories, Cang Yuan always wore an icy expression.
Aside from disgust, coldness, and indifference, she had never seen any other emotion in his eyes.
Seeing Su Cha’s disheveled state, Cang Yuan merely furrowed his brow before continuing to brew his medicine.
He was perfectly aware of what Su Cha had gone out to do today.
Suppressing the urge to facepalm, Su Cha walked up to Cang Yuan and slapped the bowl of medicine away, spilling it onto the ground.
The next moment, she received a death glare from the villain.
A cold sensation and a sharp pain gripped her wrist.
Instinctively, Su Cha dodged a hand that was aiming to choke her neck.
Looking up, she was unsurprised to see cold, murderous intent in Cang Yuan’s eyes.
“What tricks are you trying to play now?” Even his voice was laced with ice, his eyes filled with an unfathomable darkness.
With a slight push of her strength, Su Cha broke free from Cang Yuan’s grip.
The sickly and weak Cang Yuan was sent tumbling to the ground by her movement.
Su Cha froze slightly, suddenly realizing something.
The original owner used to bully Cang Yuan constantly.
Although Cang Yuan was more than half a head taller than her, his injured right leg and sickly constitution meant he could never overpower the original owner in physical strength.
Su Cha reached out to help the villain up, but Cang Yuan swatted her hand away in disgust.
The force wasn’t heavy, but it successfully made Su Cha pull her hand back.
Cang Yuan was a bit of a germaphobe and thoroughly despised the original owner.
Even in such a miserable state, he never allowed her to touch him.
Su Cha didn’t have the habit of seeking out cold shoulders, either.
She simply said, “I’ll brew your medicine for you later.”
With that, she retreated to her own room.
The two of them slept in separate rooms.
Although they were mates, they had never completed the mating ceremony.
The original owner despised Cang Yuan for being useless, and Cang Yuan felt deeply repulsed by the original owner.
The original owner had bribed the little medicine boy who worked alongside the Witch Doctor to swap out Cang Yuan’s medicine.
This directly led to his leg injury remaining unhealed and later becoming so severely infected that he was bedridden.
The original owner truly took much of the credit for the villain’s descent into darkness.
