Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 1

The scorching sun shone brightly, and the early summer rays penetrated through the dense layers of green leaves, casting shimmering patterns on the ground. The heatwave swept across the entire village.

“Look, what is that? It’s moving!”

“What’s that? It’s a snake! Run quickly. Hurry up, it can bite you to death!”

“Big brother, second brother, slow down! I can’t run anymore…”

The noisy commotion deafened Sheng Fei’s ears. When she opened her eyes, she was startled by the scene before her and instinctively picked up a nearby stone and threw it ahead.

She saw a black-tailed snake with its tongue flickering, raising its head high to attack a girl.

The girl was so terrified that tears streamed down her face, and she kept kicking and struggling.

Provoked by the action, the black-tailed snake launched a more aggressive attack.

Sheng Fei hadn’t fully grasped the situation yet when her legs went weak, nearly causing her to collapse.

This kind of thing was something she wanted to avoid even in the apocalypse.

“Help! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…”

The girl sobbed, tears flowing uncontrollably. She hadn’t even run a few steps before she tripped over the vines. With the black-tailed snake closing in, she finally covered her eyes and cried loudly.

Suddenly, her calf stung and the world spun in an instant.

Sheng Fei widened her eyes in astonishment as she saw the black-tailed snake biting the girl. Without thinking, she swung her arm towards the snake.

Invisible dark green light scattered from the palm of Sheng Fei’s hand.

In the moment she concentrated and calmed her mind, the black-tailed snake tried to escape by shaking its tail.

But there was nowhere to hide.

The twisted body of the black-tailed snake, which was about three meters long and as thick as a child’s wrist, shattered like foam in the air, leaving only a faint green light that slowly turned transparent until it disappeared.

Not even a sound was made.

A fishy and sweet sensation surged in her throat. Sheng Fei couldn’t bear to see the girl die, so she reached out again and pressed on the girl’s wound…

Even though it was her last bit of energy in this desperate situation.

In the girl’s semi-conscious state, it was as if she saw an angel leaning over her ear, assuring her that everything would be fine…

Half of Sheng Fei’s remaining power was used to disintegrate the black-tailed snake, and the other half was used to heal the girl.

Sheng Fei was now covered in sweat, and her eyelids were heavy as if they weighed a ton. She shook her head and was about to pick up the girl when she heard someone shouting, “Third sister has been bitten by a snake! Please save her!”

Before she could even see who pushed her, her body, driven by inertia, suddenly stumbled backward and fell to the ground a few steps away.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Sheng Fei struggled to get up. She was afraid that there might be zombies around, but why did her head feel like it was exploding?

Who were those people, and what were they saying?

“Look, look, she’s Sheng Fei. It hasn’t been long since the second son of the Lu family died, and she’s already mistreating other people’s child.”

“No wonder they call her a stepmother! Just look at her seductive appearance. She’s always trying to seduce men. How could she be willing to take care of someone else’s child!”

“She even killed her own mother. Who knows if she killed Lu Yi in the same way? We should stay away from her. This kind of scourge should be kicked out. Don’t let her plague our village.”

Just as Sheng Fei regained her balance, she didn’t know who did it, but someone threw a rotten tomato at her head. She touched her head with her hand, and the sour and foul smell made her flinch away.

Her throat ached. With a hoarse voice, Sheng Fei asked, “Did you see that little girl just now?”

Unfortunately, this group of people just pointed and gossiped about her, ignoring her question.

Sheng Fei rubbed her head, and memories that didn’t belong to her rushed to her mind.

It was only when she was on her way home that Sheng Fei snapped out of her daze.
