The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 306

Chapter 306

Due to Zeng Hai's ordeal, the diviners who were originally full of confidence in the search began to harbor their own thoughts. After discussing with each other at night, they ultimately decided to reserve their opinions, and many even began to consider retreating.

"If we could find Chu Lingyang, and if we could form a good relationship with the Chu family, that would be great. But that depends on whether we have the capability to do so."

The diviners present were well aware of Zeng Hai's abilities. Even he had been counteracted to the point of spitting blood and fainting on the spot, so naturally, they needed to weigh their own abilities.

Unaware of the undercurrents stirring among the others, Qi Yang got ready to go out early the next morning.

"Little Qi, where are you off to so early?"

"Grandpa Zhang." Hearing the call, Qi Yang greeted the old man respectfully, "I'd like to take a walk in the garden."

The Chu family's garden was large and not a secret place; as a guest, Qi Yang naturally had the right to visit, and Zhang Jinde didn't think much of it, "Go ahead, but remember to come back for breakfast. I have some matters to handle in the morning, so I can’t accompany you."

"Alright."

Qi Yang, with a brisk step, walked out of the small courtyard, turning left and right until he reached the garden, passing through several paths and around a few artificial hills, following the route from the previous night to a secluded small courtyard.

Qi Yang pushed open the door and entered. The small courtyard was clean but in comparison to the intricate and elegant decorations of the Chu family, it was quite rudimentary.

Seemingly hearing the noise outside, the small wooden door on the east side of the courtyard squeaked open, and a simply dressed, pretty young girl rushed out, "Brother Qi Yang, you're here!"

"Little Yun, look what I've brought you?" Qi Yang took out a small paper bag from his pocket, shook it, and then handed it to the girl whose eyes were sparkling.

"Wow, it's osmanthus cake!"

Chu Yun was a girl Qi Yang had met when he got lost the previous night. He looked at the girl's innocent and pure smile over a few pieces of cake and wondered why the Chu family would keep such a charming young girl virtually imprisoned in such a remote courtyard.

Then Qi Yang remembered the scenes he had seen in TV dramas about large families and the sorrow on the girl's face when he asked about this last night, and he couldn't help but feel more sympathetic, "Little Yun, do you want to get out?"

"Host, the male lead and the small boss have met ahead of schedule!"

Ling Chunann was woken up early by 098, who lazily rolled over, "098, shut up."

098 quickly silenced itself, pretending it did not exist.

Last night, after Ling Chunann had spoken about adding a meal, he had been excitedly pinned down to the bed by the energetic man until the early hours of the morning. If it weren't for remembering that there were still things to do today, the energetic man would probably have wanted it to last several more days and nights.

Ling Chunann wasn't tired now. This body was originally a descendant of the spiritual foxes, and as a famous demon in the story, being able to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation wasn't just a myth. Ling Chunann's talent in this area was uniquely exceptional, and his cultivation had risen a step in a short time since he started dual cultivation with Han Fenglian.

So, Ling Chunann sleeping was simply because he liked to sleep.

Woken up by 098, Ling Chunann wasn't sleepy anymore. Although he made no movements and didn't even open his eyes, Han Fenglian still instantly noticed he was awake, swept his illusion-dispelled long hair behind his ear, and kissed the small, pale earlobe, unable to resist licking it, "Baby, someone's here, it's time to get up."

"Not getting up." Ling Chunann pushed away the hand that was indecently roaming on him, bit down on the man’s neck without extending his fangs as he wasn't hungry—leaving only a row of teeth marks, then licked it and closed his eyes intending to continue sleeping.

Han Fenglian sucked in a breath of cool air, held Ling Chunann in his arms, and kissed his lips. Ling Chunann naturally wrapped his arms around his neck in response. Just as Han Fenglian was about to start the next stage, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Seeing the man’s suddenly ugly expression, Ling Chunann's eyes were full of laughter, "Should I go open the door?"

At that moment, Ling Chunann's cheeks were flushed, his lips slightly swollen, and his neck covered in marks he left, coupled with his current smile, he was simply

 a bewitching spirit. Han Fenglian's gaze darkened, and he immediately covered him with the blanket, got off the bed, ran his energy to suppress his body's response, his voice a bit hoarse, "Baby, sleep a bit longer, I’ll see what's going on."

Seeing that it was Han Fenglian who opened the door, Chu Anguo was somewhat surprised, yet did not lose his composure, "Master Han, sorry for disturbing you."

"What's the matter?" Han Fenglian's voice was cold.

"Master Han, Zeng Hai has woken up, my father sent me to invite you," said Chu Anguo.

"Alright, let's go."

Watching Han Fenglian close the courtyard door and walk out, Chu Anguo hesitated a moment then followed, turning back to look at the courtyard, "His disciple..."

"He's resting," Han Fenglian said coldly.

Chu Anguo didn't ask further, only took a few steps forward to show Han Fenglian the way, but unintentionally saw the teeth mark on Han Fenglian’s neck, and his heart startled, quickly averting his gaze, "Master Han, please follow me."

After Han Fenglian left, Ling Chunann finally remembered the forgotten 098, "098, tell me what's going on."

Seeing that Ling Chunann finally remembered it, 098 hurriedly responded, "Host, after the male lead left you and the adult last night, he got lost and barged into Chu Yun's courtyard. Now he's been charmed and just decided to rescue her from the Chu family."

Chu Yun was a mid-story boss, a taboo child, thus always kept under house arrest in a remote courtyard by the Chu family. In the story, she was nineteen years old, which was a year later when she escaped from the Chu family and then met Qi Yang. Now, the plot was obviously advanced.

A taboo child, simply put, was a child who should not have been born. Usually, such children would have some strange abilities and would bring misfortune to their families.

Chu Yun was Chu Anguo's child, born seven days after her mother's death. When the Chu family found them, she was lying on her mother's corpse, sucking her breast milk. When she looked up, the thick yin energy even made the Chu family's high-level diviners apprehensive.

However, the reason she was raised in the side courtyard was because two elders who had held her successively died unexpectedly, and those who had been close to her started to encounter misfortunes. Finally, the Chu family had no choice but to seal the yin energy on her and confine her in the side courtyard.

Yet, unbeknownst to them, she harbored resentment due to the long confinement. Later, when the seal was removed, and she escaped from the Chu family, she used her innate abilities to bewitch many resentful spirits, intending to oppose the Chu family, but was resolved by the male lead.

Ling Chunann knew this, but the male lead did not know yet. He still thought Chu Yun was an innocent, simple, pitiful child.

If the male lead encountered Chu Yun now, while in the Chu family and with the family's array suppression, it was fine. But once she escaped, that would be his death date. Even if Chu Yun didn’t harm him, he would still die from various accidents due to the excessive yin energy. Of course, as the male lead, he might not die, but it was still dangerous.

"Host, will you help the male lead?" 098 asked. Having followed Ling Chunann for so long, 098 could tell that his host still had some positive feelings for this male lead.

"098, knowing the face but not the heart, you’re too naive," Ling Chunann solemnly taught, "Besides, he's the male lead, nothing will happen to him."

"..."

Zeng Hai had woken up, and not only had the diviners gotten no information from him, but his cultivation had also been severely damaged. After learning of this, the diviners, already inclined to retreat, immediately proposed leaving to Chu Zhenguo.

At lunchtime, there were only six or seven diviners left at the table, and only Chu Anguo from the Chu family was present. Apart from Han Fenglian and Ling Chunann, everyone else was filled with concern.

Ling Chunann glanced at the shallow teeth mark on Han Fenglian’s neck, which had probably been seen by many outside, and he was quite satisfied with that. Feeling the covert, disdainful, or surprised glances from the people dining with him, he was even happier, "098, do they all think I'm Han Teacher's male pet now?"

098: "..." Why would anyone be happy about being considered a male pet? However, 098 quickly adjusted, "Host, a male pet should be more attentive, and such marks on your body would be more

 convincing."

"Next time, I'll leave a few kiss marks on my neck," Ling Chunann said enthusiastically, then glanced at the empty seat opposite him, "It's a pity the male lead didn't come."

098 glanced at the big vinegar jar beside them, whose eyes seemed to want to poke everyone else's eyes glued on his treasure, and decided not to remind his host that this idea was utterly whimsical.

After the luncheon, Ling Chunann returned to his room for a nap, and Han Fenglian stayed with him until he fell asleep, then vanished as he walked towards the door.

After Han Fenglian left, Ling Chunann opened his eyes, "098, monitor the Chu house."

"Yes, host," 098 swiftly deployed the monitoring, which could now monitor a specific area comprehensively after an upgrade. It queried and transmitted the monitored images to Ling Chunann.

Chu Zhenguo was kneeling in Chu Qingshan's room, Qi Yang was carrying food towards the side courtyard, and the other diviners had also returned to their rooms to rest. The Chu family's servants were each performing their duties.

Everything was normal, except Han Fenglian was not seen.

Ling Chunann touched his chin, not seeing Han Fenglian and feeling quite uninterested, instructed 098 to withdraw the monitoring, "Under what circumstances can you not track a person?"

"Host, as long as it is a life form in the mission world and within the search range, I can track it, unless they are not a life form or their level is higher than mine," 098 answered.

Ling Chunann knew Han Fenglian was alive, as they often communicated spiritually, so clearly, it was the latter.

Having long known that this guy was no ordinary character, Ling Chunann was too lazy to guess anymore, yawned, and hugged the blanket to continue sleeping.

When Ling Chunann woke up again, Han Fenglian was lying beside him, staring at him with one arm habitually holding him, the heartbeat very steady.

Seeing him awake, Han Fenglian didn't hide the overly fervent love in his eyes and kissed his forehead, "Baby's awake, I’ve brought you a gift."
