I, the Grand Heroine of a Revenge Novel...

Yu Xunge had no idea Su Yitong was already entertaining the thought of marrying her into the Su Family to work for them. But even if she knew, it was nothing. She had already gotten angry enough about it in her previous life.

The Su family could be hilarious sometimes. If you worked for them, the closer you got to the core, the better your treatment became, encouraging everyone to climb higher.

But if you married into the Su Family as a daughter-in-law or live-in son-in-law, then that was the end of it. You worked for free. You were already part of the Su Family, working for your own family, so why were you still asking for this and that? Surely you hadn't married into the Su Family just for their gold coins, right?

After she gained some renown through her god-given talent in her previous life, Su Yitong had tried her hardest to marry her off to those utterly vile Su Family men. But just seeing the life Yu Xunhuan lived had left Yu Xunge with no favorable impression of the Su Family. If Liang Yuchuan and Han Qianshan had not entered the picture later, with House Liang and the Han family being not much weaker than the Su Family, Yu Xunhuan's status and treatment would have been hard to say.

And what kind of trash had Su Yitong introduced to her? How could Yu Xunge possibly agree?

Yet in Su Yitong's eyes, the consequence of her repeated refusals was that Yu Xunge had feelings for Yu Xunhuan.

Her imagination was filthy!!

At eight that evening, the portal lit up on schedule. Everyone lined up and passed through one by one. After each person went through, they had to wait two minutes before the next was allowed through.

After stepping through the blue gate of light, Yu Xunge found herself in a dim little room lit by only a single candle.

Two people stood inside: a short-haired woman and the man in military uniform who had come in to call out earlier. The military man had changed into a gray robe. The short-haired woman waved Yu Xunge over. "Come here. We'll turn you into a small animal."

Yu Xunge watched her warily. "Where are the people from before?" Even if they were turned into small animals and sent out of the city, it should not have been this fast.

The short-haired woman smiled and stepped aside, revealing a small glass box behind her. It was packed full of cockroaches, piled layer upon layer. Countless cockroaches were desperately trying to climb upward by stepping on the others, and none of them wanted to be crushed beneath another cockroach.

This was the small animal you were talking about?!

Wait, what exactly had Zhao Shuying said? "We can turn everyone into cute little animals."

Yu Xunge went numb.

I, the grand heroine who had returned from rebirth for revenge...

The short-haired woman said gently, "Come on."

Yu Xunge took a big step back. "Wait! I confess... no, I mean, I have an item that can turn me into a small animal myself. A genuinely cute small animal."

It was fine. She had plenty of trump cards. No one knew how many small animals she could turn into!!!

Trump cards existed to make her life better!

Yu Xunge raised a hand to stop the short-haired woman from approaching. "Can I transform myself?"

The short-haired woman stood where she was, looking regretful. "Of course."

Just as Yu Xunge was about to transform, she suddenly asked, "Then do I still have to repay the 5 crystals for this transformation service in my loan contract?"

The short-haired woman pursed her lips in a smile, apparently realizing that Yu Xunge was likely a player who had traded a skill for entry qualifications. "The 5 crystals are mainly for escorting you out of the city. Turning you into animals is merely a complimentary benefit."

Yu Xunge gritted her teeth. Fine, fine, you have plenty of tricks! Just you wait!

She transformed into a chubby calico cat she had touched recently and walked into the corner. Only then did she notice a black dog crouching there already. The dog's eyes held pity and understanding as it looked at her.

Yu Xunge: "..."

Over the next while, Yu Xunge finally understood why the line moved so slowly. Nearly everyone, upon learning that they would be turned into cockroaches, had to go through shock, doubt, struggle, resistance, and acceptance. Only a few people seemed to have come before, remaining calm and composed.

But whenever they saw the black dog and calico cat in the corner, they all gave them sour looks again and again.

Yu Xunge waited patiently, sensing the aura of the other world all the while. Even the air here seemed to contain magic.

Since becoming a player, she had been able to sense the energy within her body. She could even feel magic flowing through her whenever she used a skill, but those sensations had never been as clear as they were now.

It was like a camera lens that had always been shrouded in mist had suddenly been wiped clean, and the entire world became clear.

She even had the illusion that she could instantly cast [Ice Flower Seal] without chanting an incantation.

Players passed by Yu Xunge one after another, but she did not use the Thief God's skill. When she had first been reborn, she had wanted to steal from every dog that passed her. But ever since she stole Yu Xunhuan's [Food God] talent, the hostility in her heart had greatly diminished. There were so many powerful beings from other planets; there was no need for her to steal from her own people. Besides, there were still the Su, Liang, and Han families. She had plenty of enemies, so there was no need to target people who had never provoked her.

After waiting patiently for a while, everyone finally arrived. An orange cat had appeared to Yu Xunge's right—it was the short-haired woman.

The military man had already put away the box of cockroaches. He used an item to turn himself into an undead, then led the two cats and one dog outside.

Dark City had all sorts of strange people: trolls, blood elves, dwarves, goblins. No one paid attention to a few ordinary pets.

The group soon left the city. Yu Xunge stayed close behind the captain, following him as he skillfully avoided the territories of low-level creatures like wild wolves and goblins. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they arrived beside a large tree some distance from Dark City. Looking back, they could only vaguely make out the spires of the undead palace.

The Soros Pocket Watch's inspection function was truly powerful. In Yu Xunge's eyes, a line of text appeared outside the tree: [A modified magical residence]

The captain knocked on the door and quietly spoke a passphrase. A flash of light appeared beneath Yu Xunge and the others' feet. Several seconds later, a door emerged on the tree, which was so large that several people could wrap their arms around it. A bespectacled man opened the door and let them in.

Some unknown skill had been used inside. It looked about as large as a soccer field, with two rows of tents. At a glance, there seemed to be nearly a hundred of them.

The orange cat transformed back into the short-haired woman. She said to the cat and dog on the ground, "This is our base. You can come here to repay your loans."

What a cold sentence.

Yu Xunge nodded her cat head, then felt that she looked a little silly. She returned to human form, put on her mask and hat, and asked, "Are there any other services here?"

The short-haired woman took out the box of cockroaches. As she restored them to human form one by one, she told everyone, "If you find that you cannot survive here, you can also come here and continue cooperating with us. Of course, in that case, you will have to follow orders. As for everything else, there is a price list here. You can take a look."

Yu Xunge took the sheet of paper handed over by the bespectacled man. It was covered in chargeable services, from treatment to lodging, from potions to help with disguises. There was even a service where, if they got lost and could not find the camp, they could contact them, pay a fee, and have someone sent to pick them up...

Most terrifyingly, at least half the listed services had "negotiable" written after the price.
