The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 253
🕑 Added 2024-04-04 18:03:39 +0000 UTCChapter 253
Ling Chunann did not exit through the main entrance but, after stepping out of the hallway, applied a Concealment Charm on himself and jumped directly out of the window.
Upon seeing Ling Chunann land safely in front of the small fox, 098 breathed a sigh of relief, "Host, I've checked just now, the female supporting character is not in mortal danger." Only that naive little fox would think that not speaking or opening one's eyes equates to being dead.
Ling Chunann hummed in acknowledgment and then dispelled the Concealment Charm. With no one around at the moment, he didn't mind being seen.
At this time, the small fox was anxiously circling the female supporting character. Seeing its master suddenly appear, it was initially startled, then its tail and ears drooped, "Master, I was wrong."
Ling Chunann glanced at her, then squatted beside the girl lying on the ground.
Ling Chunann lightly tapped a few spots on the body of the female supporting character, and then her previously weak breathing gradually stabilized.
The small fox nudged the girl's cheek with its nose, noticing she hadn't moved yet, its eyes reddened again. However, seeing Ling Chunann's actions, it held back its tears, "Master, she's alright, isn't she?"
"Cough, cough."
At this moment, the previously still female supporting character coughed and slowly opened her eyes.
The small fox zipped behind Ling Chunann, peeking out with one eye while raising its tail, fearing it would be discovered as the one who tripped her.
"Who am I? Where is this?" Wang Xiaoyu opened her eyes to the somewhat misty sky, momentarily confused. Wasn't she taking an exam?
"Young lady, you're awake," Ling Chunann said to Wang Xiaoyu.
"Wow! A handsome young man in ancient attire!" Wang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
"Host, she has two souls within her, the modern soul has traveled back in time early," 098 noted the gleaming gaze of the female supporting character at the host and felt a bit uneasy, "What do we do now?"
The death of Yun Ze in the original text was also linked to this time traveler. Without her, the male lead would never have recognized Yun Ze so quickly, let alone kill him.
Ling Chunann remained silent but smiled at Wang Xiaoyu.
Wang Xiaoyu was momentarily stunned, nearly drooling, but before she could speak, she felt a pain in her neck, and everything went dark as she fainted again.
"Master, what are you doing?" Dalin asked.
"Host, you're not planning to kill her to silence her, are you?" 098 saw Ling Chunann retract his hand and take out a jade talisman.
098 recognized the talisman; it was a high-level talisman called the Soul Returning Talisman that Yun Su had made for Ling Chunann some time ago. As the name suggests, this talisman can return a soul not belonging to a body back to its original place, effective on both immortals and demons, as long as their cultivation does not surpass that of the talisman's creator. Of course, given its high level, Ling Chunann shouldn't have been able to use it with his current cultivation, but seeing how adeptly the host handled it, 098 thought it should be fine.
Thinking this, 098 found his host terrifying. Had he been planning this all along?
Not to mention being prepared with the right tools in advance, he didn't even seem surprised at the female supporting character's premature time travel, performing the knockout move so smoothly.
While 098 was lost in thought, Ling Chunann had already stopped moving his hands. He was a bit pale and sweating, clearly finding the previous actions somewhat strenuous.
"Host, are you alright?" 098 asked, setting aside his questions with a concerned tone.
"I'm fine," Ling Chunann wiped off his sweat, glancing at the still unconscious woman, "Check her."
"Yes, host," 098 responded. "Host, the foreign soul inside her has disappeared!" This might be the shortest stay among all time travelers, only having met one person and exchanged a few words.
"Su Yu, is my Qin table ready?"
At this moment, a soft and pleasant female voice came from inside the cabin, followed by the beads curtain being drawn open. A gentle and beautiful woman in a gauze dress stepped out, immediately noticing the soaking wet girl lying on the ground, "Su Yu, Su Yu? Someone, come!"
In the examination room, Wang Xiaoyu was suddenly awakened by a slap, looking up to meet her physics teacher's stern face. She quickly offered a pleasing smile and bowed her head to frantically fill in the blanks on her paper.
After handing in her paper, she finally had a moment to think. It seemed like she had just had a
dream about a handsome young man in ancient attire...
Ling Chunann, carrying the small fox, headed back. Just as he was about to step into the Yun Tian Tower, the system prompt suddenly rang.
"Counterattack value +10%, current counterattack value is 20%, please continue to strive, host."
The increase of ten percent excited 098; the host was truly amazing!
"Master, master," the small fox, dizzy from being carried for so long, finally couldn't take it anymore. Its voice was weak, "Master, can you put me down?"
"Yes." Ling Chunann replied while loosening his grip.
Unexpectedly, Ling Chunann agreed so readily that the small fox, caught off guard, rolled on the ground a couple of times. It shook its white fur and staggered to its feet, its green eyes tearful.
"Ah! What's this?" Suddenly, a lively female voice rang from behind Ling Chunann.
At this moment, the small fox had already retracted its tail, leaving only one white fluffy tail dragging behind it. Its round eyes and palm-sized fluffy body looked pitiful.
"Host, it's An Ling from the Fengxian Sect," 098 timely reported the identity of the woman, "She is currently in the late stage of fasting, aged one hundred and twenty-five." In the original text, she was considered the number one beauty among immortal cultivators, and also served as the male lead's confidante for a time. Unfortunately, her cultivation couldn't keep up with the male lead, who didn't wait for her and ascended first, making her a female supporting character.
An Ling stopped in front of the small fox, bent down to pick it up, but Dalin quickly dodged her hand and hid behind Ling Chunann.
Only then did An Ling notice Ling Chunann. Seeing his face, a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, "Excuse me, is this fox yours?"
"Mm." Ling Chunann bent down and beckoned the small fox with his hand, and it happily jumped onto him, affectionately rubbing against his fingers.
An Ling's eyes were full of envy, "This fox, can you sell it to me? I'll pay whatever amount of gold you want."
Seeing that An Ling hadn't recognized his cultivator status, Ling Chunann didn't explain but simply petted the frightened-looking small fox that feared being sold, shaking his head, "Sorry, she's not for sale."
An Ling glanced at the small fox a few more times but did not force Ling Chunann, simply nodding, "Alright then."
After Ling Chunann went upstairs, the disciples of the Fengxian Sect who admired An Ling couldn't hold back any longer, "Senior sister, he's just a mortal. Why be so polite with him?"
"Yeah, senior sister, if you like, I can help you catch that little thing later."
...
Seeing these people getting more and more excited, An Ling glared at them, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this how the sect teaches you manners? Those who spoke just now, go back and write the sect rules one hundred times and submit them to me."
With these words, everyone dared not speak anymore.
"What? Not convinced?" An Ling said coldly.
"Senior sister's lesson is right."
As soon as Ling Chunann reached the fifth floor, Zhang Zifeng greeted him. He looked at the small fox on Ling Chunann's shoulder, "Little junior brother, why did you take so long?"
"I encountered a few cultivators just now, seems like they were from the Fengxian Sect, just had a small chat," Ling Chunann said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, senior brothers."
"No problem, it wasn't long," Yun Zehan spoke, pouring a cup of tea, "Junior brother, have some tea."
After spending the day touring the lake and visiting the well-known scenic spots of the floating city, Zhang Zifeng sighed several times, feeling the trip was worthwhile. In the evening, returning to the inn, he was still full of praise, "I didn't expect the food of the mundane world to be so delicious. Little junior brother, I heard there's a temple fair in the western city tomorrow. Let's go have a look."
"The food of the mundane world lacks spiritual energy and produces impurities in the body after consumption. It's better to eat less," Yun Zehan interrupted Zhang Zifeng.
Zhang Zifeng: "......"
Ling Chunann had no interest in the temple fair and declined Zhang Zifeng's suggestion. He had spent a lot of spiritual power today and needed to focus on cultivation to recover in the coming days.
In the following days under 098's surveillance, the male lead remained quiet, but a few from the Fengxian Sect also stayed in the same inn. However, Yun Zehan didn't know them and seemed uninterested in
making their acquaintance.
On the tenth day of their stay in the floating city, Ling Chunann's cultivation finally returned to its peak, with the Water Spirit Pearl contributing to part of the recovery. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage and had made further progress. If not for his control, he might have attracted a minor heavenly tribulation and entered the Nascent Soul stage.
Now, Ling Chunann could break through at any moment with just a thought.
Seeing Ling Chunann open his eyes, 098 hurriedly said, "Host, the male lead encountered that group of demon cultivators last night."
"What did he do?" Ling Chunann asked.
"It's strange, he didn't provide them with the location of the city's spiritual vein and even arranged to kill a few demon cultivators," 098's voice carried a hint of confusion.
Every city has a spiritual vein. The more picturesque and populous a city, the richer the spiritual energy in its vein. Destroying the spiritual vein is akin to destroying the city. Demon cultivators naturally aim not just to destroy the spiritual vein but also to absorb the vitality of the city's inhabitants. In the original text, it was precisely because the male lead secretly informed the demon cultivators of the spiritual vein's location that the floating city turned into a dead city shortly after his departure.
This time, however, he didn't do so, which surprised 098.
"What did the demon cultivators say?" Ling Chunann asked while putting on his outer garment.
"They said they would destroy the city in three days," 098 said, then had a sudden realization, "Host, could it be because we are still in the city, that's why he did this?" More precisely, because Ling Chunann had declared he would be in seclusion for half a month and no one should disturb him.
But if it was indeed because of Ling Chunann, 098 had a new series of questions, "Host, host, could it be that the male lead has fallen for you?"
