Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 2258

Chapter 2258: Equate to Acquiring the Zhao Clan Stronghold

Zhao Linger was the sole heiress to the Zhao Clan Stronghold. In a roundabout way, marrying Zhao Linger would equate to acquiring the Zhao Clan Stronghold.

The bridegroom would also have a martial alliance leader as his father-in-law. It was fully marrying into wealth and power!

He’d be able to shorten his struggle by so many years!

Because of this, wherever Zhao Linger went, there would always be men fawning over her.

However, someone whom her parents cared so much for suddenly popped out of nowhere.

Therefore, Zhao Linger was completely hostile to Ning Shu, the person who suddenly appeared.

“He is also a man from the Sacred Demonic Sect, yet the two of you are so different in terms of your height.” Zhao Linger said, pointing at the taller Mei Wu, who was standing to the side like a wooden stake.

“He traded his brain for his height,” Ning Shu lightly said. “Also, if you were the one who became an occasional test subject for scorpion poison, you would be even shorter than I am.”

Ning Shu said lightly, “Not only did I have to live in a cave all year round, but I was also turned into a test subject for scorpion poison when I first arrived. My body was subsequently harmed.”

“Why? What’s the problem? Does my shortness bother you?” Ning Shu’s gaze was fixed on Zhao Linger.

“How dare you speak to me like this!?” Zhao Linger pointed to Ning Shu.

“No one in the Sacred Demonic Sect would dare to speak to me as you do. If anyone had dared, I would have torn them in half, like this.” Ning Shu grinned, then slammed her fist on the wall, smashing a small hole into it.

Zhao Linger was rendered speechless. She could only stare at Ning Shu with her wide, round eyes.

Ning Shu blew the dust off her hands.

“Nephew, you are not in the Sacred Demonic Cult anymore, so please restrain yourself. Linger is still young and she has been spoiled rotten by her mother. Don’t mind her.”

Ning Shu immediately said, “Yes, Uncle. It was all my fault. I will definitely restrain myself from now on. Cousin Linger, I’m sorry.”

Zhao Linger stubbornly ignored Ning Shu’s apology.

“Come, come. Sit down and eat,” said Madam Zhao to Ning Shu. She then kept adding more food to Ning Shu’s bowl.

Madam Zhao gave Zhao Linger a meaningful look. Zhao Linger then unwillingly gave Ning Shu a meatless fish head.

Madam Zhao glared at Zhao Linger. Meanwhile, Zhao Linger smugly said to Ning Shu, “Cousin, eat the fish head. It’s the most nutritious part of the fish.”

Ning Shu glanced at Zhao Linger, picked up the fish head, then threw it on the table. “In this life, there is nothing I hate more than eating fish heads.”

“Linger.” Zhao Bo looked at Zhao Linger imposingly. “What is the matter with you?”

Ning Shu immediately responded instead by saying, “Uncle, it is my fault. I will learn to control my temper in the future. I’m too used to being in the Sacred Demonic Sect, and my mind hasn’t adjusted yet.”

“Just eat. Come to my study after eating, I have something to talk to you about,” Zhao Bo said.

Ning Shu nodded and picked up more food. Almost half of the dishes on the table were eaten by her alone.

Zhao Linger whispered, “Gluttonous pig.”

Ning Shu only ignored her. After she finished eating, Ning Shu followed Zhao Bo to the study. Mei Wu closely followed after them.

“Nephew, tell your friend to wait outside,” said Zhao Bo to Ning Shu after he glanced at Mei Wu.

Ning Shu turned her head and said to Mei Wu, “Go and eat. We are not in the Sacred Demonic Sect anymore, so I will be fine.”

Mei Wu only glanced at Ning Shu and stayed silent. Ning Shu scowled. “Go!”

Mei Wu then turned around and left.

Ning Shu stretched out her hands helplessly. “He’s just a bit slow. When he first came to the Sacred Demonic Cult, he was bullied. I helped him a little then and he’s followed me ever since.”

“It’s not bad to have a person like that by your side. It’s much more convenient to have an errand runner,” Zhao Bo said indifferently.

#Take’s comments: This isn’t my first time reading this arc but up until I translated this chapter I literally thought Mei Wu was a girl.
