The Strongest Female Cannon Fodder in Quick Transmigration

"Stop! Who are you? You look suspicious," one of the guards said.

"Brother, you should be reasonable. Where did you see me as suspicious?" Ruoshui rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless.

With so many people here, why is she the only one who seems suspicious?

“The island lord has never invited someone so good-looking. If he had, I would never forget it. Who told you to be so good-looking?” the guard said.

Ruoshui: You actually said I'm good-looking? I can't refute you, you bastard! It's not my fault that I'm good-looking.

"Brother, it's normal that you don't recognize me. After all, I wasn't on the invitation list; I was just someone who came to deliver a congratulatory gift," Ruoshui tried to explain.

"Don't try to fool me. You think someone who's not well-educated is just a deliveryman? I don't believe it," the gatekeeper said.

Indeed, in this world, someone like Ruoshui, who possesses unparalleled beauty and can remain untainted, either has a powerful backer or is quite formidable in their own strength.

Otherwise, they would only become playthings of certain powerful and wealthy people, and it would be impossible for them to do a quiet, lowly job.

It is said that beautiful women have short lives; for those who live in turbulent times, being too beautiful is actually a misfortune.

The guard seemed determined not to let Ruoshui in no matter what.

Just as Ruoshui was hesitating whether to force her way in, Shui Ruo suddenly spoke up.

"Even with my esteemed presence, I can't get in? I never imagined the people on Broken Island would be so arrogant."

Because Shui Ruo was right behind Ruoshui, the gatekeeper's attention was drawn to Ruoshui, and he didn't notice Shui Ruo behind her.

As soon as Shui Ruo spoke, everyone's attention turned to her.

Shui Ruo's gentle voice carried a hint of sternness, exuding a unique air of authority.

Shui Ruo had unknowingly taken out his folding fan and was gently waving it in front of his chest, while his other hand was casually behind his back.

He was dressed in white, his hair neatly tied up with a white silk ribbon. A gentle breeze blew by, causing the white ribbon on his head to flutter in the wind, and his white robes to sway in the breeze. Combined with his peerless beauty, he truly was a handsome young man in a turbulent world.

The gatekeeper saw that Ruoshui and Shui Ruo were not ordinary people in appearance and temperament. Moreover, when Shui Ruo stepped out, his eyes were completely attracted by the jade pendant on Shui Ruo's waist.

The bluish-green jade pendant gleamed coldly in the sunlight, clearly indicating it was no ordinary item.

The moment they saw the jade, all the guards at the door knelt down, their heads almost touching the ground, trembling with fear as they spoke to Shui Ruo:

"I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I did not know that you were a young master. I hope you will forgive me."

The two men were so frightened that they didn't dare to lift their heads or look directly at Shui Ruo.

Shui Ruo still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor:

"Alright, alright, I'm in a good mood lately, so I won't hold it against you."

After saying that, Shui Ruo turned to Ruo Shui and said:

"let's go".

And so, Ruoshui swaggered in behind Shui Ruo and entered the island lord's mansion. Even after the two of them had entered, the kneeling guards on the ground still dared not raise their heads.

Once Ruoshui and the other woman had walked away, the guards stood up with lingering fear and breathed a sigh of relief.

Once inside the mansion, Shui Ruo's true colors were revealed in front of Ruoshui, completely losing his gentle and refined demeanor from before.

"What do you think? Follow me, and you'll have plenty to eat," Shui Ruo said smugly.

"Come on, you're just a show-off who's always trying to be cool. What's the point of following you? To learn how to be cool? No matter how cool you are, it won't change your stupid nature," Ruoshui mocked.

"If you don't appreciate it, countless women in the world are captivated by my gentle and refined temperament," Shui Ruo said.

"Ugh~, you're kidding me, I'm not blind," Ruoshui said, making a vomiting gesture.

“You’re the one who’s blind the most. You’re not even interested in my stunning looks. You’re definitely blind,” Shui Ruo retorted.

While the two were arguing, someone arrived at the island lord's mansion.

The servant respectfully said to Ruoshui and her companion, "My master was unaware of your arrival and has not been welcoming you properly. He specially sent me to greet you. Seats have been prepared for you both. Please come this way."

After saying this, the servant bowed and made a gesture of invitation before leading the way.

Led by the servant, Ruoshui and her companion arrived at the birthday banquet hall.

The hall was already full of people, with a small table in front of each seat, piled high with all sorts of delicious food.

The people in this banquet hall are all people of high status; other guests can only sit at the outdoor banquet in the courtyard.

At the very front of these seats was a slightly elevated platform, divided into three sections. In the middle section sat a thin, middle-aged man with a mustache, who looked shrewd.

Next to the man with the mustache sat an ordinary-looking man, whom Ruoshui recognized as Ye Xiao, Ruoshui's target for this mission.

To the right of the man with the mustache's seat, there were two empty seats, presumably reserved for Ruoshui and her companion.

As expected, the man with the mustache hurriedly came over to greet Ruoshui and her companion as soon as they entered.

"I was unaware of your presence, sir. I apologize for not welcoming you sooner. Please forgive me. This way, please." The man said respectfully.

"No problem," Shui Ruo replied.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ruoshui and her companion walked to the very front and sat in the two empty seats.

After Ruoshui and the other woman were seated, the man with the mustache announced the start of the birthday banquet.

Then, those present began to present congratulatory gifts to the man with the mustache.

Only those present were qualified to present their gifts to the man with the mustache; the gifts from the guests outside were merely recorded.

One after another, various congratulatory gifts were presented, but for Shui Ruo, who lived in the First Heaven and had traveled through so many worlds, what hadn't they seen? These gifts were nothing special to them.

Each time a congratulatory gift was presented, Ruoshui carefully observed Ye Xiao's reaction, but he just sat in his seat with an arrogant expression, completely looking down on the people from the broken island.

One gift after another was presented and then taken away, without Ye Xiao making any move whatsoever.

Just as Ruoshui was getting a little irritated, Ye Xiao suddenly frowned, his pupils contracted, and he looked at the congratulatory gift with a shocked expression.

He immediately noticed his lapse in composure and quickly composed himself, but his eyes were shining as he stared at the presented tribute, completely unlike his previous lack of interest.

At this moment, in the center of the hall, a servant was introducing the gift, which was a necklace. The chain of the necklace was made up of a series of silver rings, with a yellow transparent gemstone hanging on it, about the size of a peanut.

Judging from the servant's explanation, it seems that the person who gave the gift only thought the gem in the middle was valuable, and did not know what the gem was for.

Listening to the servant's introduction, the man with the mustache didn't seem very interested; such a large gemstone wasn't uncommon.

The man with the mustache waved his hand, interrupting the servant's boasting about the gemstone, and gestured for the person in charge of collecting gifts to accept it. He wanted to see what other valuable gifts would be given next.

"Wait." Just then, Ye Xiao spoke up.

Ye Xiao seemed to realize that the island lord was not interested in the gem, so he spoke up to stop the servant who was about to put the gem away.

He then turned to the man with the mustache and said:

“Island Lord, I am very fond of this gem. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it and give it to me?”

The island owner didn't immediately agree, after all, it was a gift from someone else, and it wouldn't be appropriate to give it away in front of them. But since Ye Xiao had asked for it, he didn't dare to be ungrateful and refuse.

Seeing his silence, Ye Xiao assumed he was unwilling to give it, so he said:

"I am willing to pay one hundred high-grade crystals to buy it."

As soon as Ye Xiao said this, the crowd in the hall erupted in uproar.

"One hundred high-grade crystals? Are you crazy? One high-grade crystal is equivalent to ten thousand medium-grade crystals!"

"This is insane! It's just an ordinary gemstone, albeit of slightly better quality. You could probably buy it for a hundred medium-grade crystals, but it's worth a hundred high-grade crystals!"

"Yes, but who would do a losing business? Since this gentleman is paying such a high price for this gem, does it mean that this gem is some priceless treasure that we are blind to?"

"It might really be some kind of treasure. Treasures aren't always shiny and golden. I've heard that some high-level special items are made to look tattered and broken to prevent others from seeing them."

"I knew it! How could anyone spend a hundred medium-grade crystals to buy a decorative item?"

The man with the mustache wasn't originally unwilling to give it to him, but it wouldn't be appropriate to give away something given to someone else in front of so many people.

But listening to everyone's comments, he also felt that this must be some kind of priceless treasure; otherwise, why would Ye Xiao, who wasn't exactly well-off, be willing to spend so many crystals to buy it?

He knew Ye Xiao, and he wasn't exactly wealthy. If he were to sell this treasure to a major power in the First Heaven, the price would probably be several times that of Ye Xiao.

Then the man with the mustache spoke up: "Brother Ye, this isn't about the crystal. This is a congratulatory gift someone gave me. It wouldn't be right to sell it in front of them."

Judging from the man with the mustache's words, Ye Xiao knew that he wouldn't sell it to him no matter how many crystals he was offered. Seeing this, Ye Xiao gave up the idea of ​​buying it with crystals.

However, he absolutely could not let go of this treasure, so he simply tore off the mask and stopped being polite to the man with the mustache.

"I'm giving you face by offering you crystals. Since you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup, then don't blame me. May you have a good journey to the underworld."

After saying that, Ye Xiao waved his hand, and a sword of light formed from spiritual energy appeared, shooting straight towards the man with the mustache.
