The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 268

Chapter 268

"Darling, perfect timing."

As Ling Chunann pushed open the door, he was greeted by Qin Muhuo smiling at him. "What's up?"

"I've sorted out the documents. Want to take a look?" Qin Muhuo pulled Ling Chunann to sit beside him, facing the computer screen, and opened a document.

Ling Chunann glanced at him as if he was presenting a treasure, and without refusal, started skimming through the data rapidly.

"I couldn't find information on this company, nor this one, or this one." 098 couldn't help but mutter along, its tone tinged with disappointment. It had researched a lot for Qin Muhuo these past few days, only to uncover the tip of the iceberg. Unexpectedly, he was involved in so many industries, all leading globally, with considerable hidden power. All in all, this man was practically a huge bug.

Ling Chunann quickly finished looking through the data, tapping his finger on the last company's introduction - Star Emperor Entertainment, which he had considered before.

Seeing Ling Chunann's unimpressed expression after viewing so much, Qin Muhuo felt a mix of pride for his darling's calmness and a tad bit of disappointment, which quickly lifted his spirits. "This company is doing quite well, even though I distributed some shares early on, I still hold the majority. If darling is interested, you could play around with it."

Not often did he see the man so eager to please him, Ling Chunann rolled his eyes, then glanced at him, "Are you trying to sugar daddy me?"

Qin Muhuo was startled by Ling Chunann's reaction, "I, I did not."

Ling Chunann, serious-faced, silently shut down the computer in front of him.

"I'm sorry, darling, I was wrong. I just wanted to make you happy, nothing else." Qin Muhuo quickly apologized, as if swearing an oath to heaven.

"Pfft." Seeing the man's anxious expression, Ling Chunann couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Knowing he was being played again, Qin Muhuo wasn't angry but rather felt somewhat helpless. He pulled the overly laughing Ling Chunann closer, patting his back to soothe him.

098 felt sympathy for Qin Muhuo, understanding all too well the host's grudges. It knew the man wouldn't let this pass so easily.

Although 098 couldn't read people as accurately as Ling Chunann, after traversing through many worlds together, it had come to know the men in the host's life well. Regardless of how imposing they appeared outside, they melted completely before Ling Chunann, epitomizing gentleness and care, as if wanting to pamper him to the skies.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the host cherished him so much.

098 could never forget its first encounter with Ling Chunann, how crazy he was back then. Though Ling Chunann seemed normal, he was on the brink of a mental breakdown.

Thankfully, the host met him, 098 sighed. However, it was still concerned. The man's background was evidently complex, and to this date, even it was unaware of his true identity. But just now, as Ling Chunann was checking, it also learned about the man's soul condition... unstable. It wasn't sure if he could continue into the next world with the host. If he disappeared, the host...

"098, what are you thinking?"

Caught deep in thought, 098 was startled by Ling Chunann's voice, quickly suppressing the dreadful idea, "Nothing, host. Where is he?"

"Taking a shower." Ling Chunann didn't pursue 098's evasion, his tone neutral, "Don't overthink."

"Yes," 098 responded.

After talking to 098, Ling Chunann glanced at the bathroom, then picked up a book.

Soon, the bathroom door opened, and Qin Muhuo came out. Seeing Ling Chunann reading, he quietly sat beside him. His body still had a faint scent of shower gel and moisture. Ling Chunann leaned back slightly, and Qin Muhuo, understandingly, extended his arm for him to lean on.

The two remained silent, the air filled with an unspoken warmth.

Half an hour later, Ling Chunann closed the book, turned his head to look at Qin Muhuo who was watching him, a sly look in his eyes.

Seeing this, 098 mentally crossed itself, unsure whether the prayer was for Ling Chunann or Qin Muhuo.

It had been three days since Chen Xingyu sat in front of the computer, his eyes bloodshot. Since sending the contract offer to Su Su, he had barely slept, refreshing the message page every few minutes and constantly checking the live broadcast room. Unfortunately, the girl hadn't streamed in these days, and the phone number she left was disconnected.

The song "Youth" on Music Home had climbed to the top fifty,

with its play and download counts still rising.

Thinking this, Chen Xingyu felt a bit disheartened. Could he really sign her?

With three days left, this was his last chance. Eyes reddened, Chen Xingyu refreshed the messages again.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. There was a new unread message. He took a deep breath, then tremblingly clicked on the message page.

[System Announcement, to welcome...]

"Sigh." For the umpteenth time, Chen Xingyu couldn't help but exhale in disappointment.

Pressing his somewhat twitching stomach, he stood up from the computer, planning to cook some noodles. Before he could take a step, he heard a voice.

"System binding successful. I am the Superstar Cultivation System 001, the host can call me 001..."

Ling Chunann woke up sore and saw the marks on his body, glaring at the man who just entered with bursting energy.

"Are you hungry, baby? I made porridge for you." Seeing Ling Chunann awake, Qin Muhuo approached with a smile, massaging his waist, "Sorry, darling, are you tired?"

After giving a disdainful glance at the man who still seemed pleased with himself, Ling Chunann let him continue. Qin Muhuo, looking at the marks on Ling Chunann's body, his eyes filled with tenderness, whispered in his ear, "Darling, I love you."

Ling Chunann didn't respond. After a while, he turned around, wrapping his arms around Qin Muhuo's neck, biting into his carotid artery.

098 was shocked. Had the host finally evolved into a vampire? No, that can't be right; the man doesn't have regenerative abilities in this world, "Host, please let go, he's going to die!"

Qin Muhuo was surprised when Ling Chunann bit down but quickly understood, not pushing him away but instead holding him closer, allowing him to comfortably lean on him.

As time ticked by, Ling Chunann didn't let go, the scent of blood gradually intensifying. After another reminder, 098 fell silent, knowing the host had his reasons.

Qin Muhuo's expression remained gentle, love filling his eyes. If not for his increasingly pale face, 098 might have thought he felt nothing.

"Host, he's lost too much blood and has passed out." 098 warned, Qin Muhuo's blood loss was now at the human limit. Even losing another hundred milliliters would be fatal.

Yet, Qin Muhuo's hold on Ling Chunann never changed.

Ling Chunann licked the wound on the man's neck, which immediately healed, then looked up at him, his gaze slightly odd.

"What's wrong, host?"

"I drank too much. My stomach feels bloated."

"..."

Ignoring 098, Ling Chunann moved out from Qin Muhuo's embrace, laying him flat on the bed, then leaned down, forehead against his, a faint golden light spreading from their touch.

Ling Chunann had been trying to repair Qin Muhuo's foundational power for days, but every attempt to reach his core was repelled.

Ling Chunann was no stranger to the man's core power, so he immediately noticed the foreign energy blocking him, definitely not Qin Muhuo.

As he delved deeper, Ling Chunann encountered the strange energy again. Perhaps because Qin Muhuo was near death, making it weaker, coupled with Ling Chunann's near-total soul power assault, it was caught off-guard and collapsed instantly.

The obstruction gone, Qin Muhuo's core power joyously twined with Ling Chunann's. Their powers instinctively merged, shocking Ling Chunann, who hurriedly severed the connection and retreated.

098 saw Ling Chunann touching foreheads with Qin Muhuo, then falling still. It didn't dare interrupt, only worrying silently.

After a long moment, Ling Chunann finally straightened, coughing up blood that was not Qin Muhuo's but golden, indicative of core power, "Host! Are you alright?"

Ling Chunann was pale, coughing again, looking at Qin Muhuo who now looked much healthier, "I'm fine."

He hadn't expected their powers to be so compatible. Having cultivated together in the previous world, their energies had fused upon contact. This was no issue before, but now, the disparity in their powers was too great. If he had delayed even a second longer, he might have consumed Qin Muhuo's core entirely.

Already weakened from breaking through the barrier, plus the severed connection and backlash, Ling Chunann would need time to recover. Swallowing the taste of sweet blood, he glared at the oblivious man again, "098, clean the room."

098, caught in the crossfire, "...".
