The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 216

Chapter 216

Ling Chunann straightened his expression and then said, "He is my legally married wife, the kind that's already wed."

Lu Yao, upon hearing this, was stunned in place, blinked a few times, and then, finally comprehending, wanted to express her opinion but found herself left behind and hurriedly followed.

098 quietly asked Ling Chunann, "Host, aren't you afraid that the female lead will not increase your favorability in the future by saying this?"

"She won't," Ling Chunann said.

How could she not? 098 was anxious. The female lead is a modern person with progressive thoughts. Ling Chunann was so clear, and his attitude was obviously not joking. The female lead must believe it, and there's a big difference between a single man and a married man for a young girl.

"098, you are wrong," Ling Chunann hinted and then no longer paid attention to it, quickly catching up with Xiao Hongjing but not walking side by side with him or speaking to him.

However, 098 noticed that perhaps because of Ling Chunann's words earlier, the coldness on Xiao Hongjing had completely dissipated. Seeing Ling Chunann chasing him, he even slowed down his pace, no longer looking angry.

The location of Ling Chunann's mansion in Lingcheng was chosen long ago, located to the southeast of Lingcheng, with the decoration style also handled by Xiao Hongjing. However, because Ling Chunann had mentioned wanting to stay for a long time before, the area was much larger than before, occupying a large part of the city's south. The servants in the mansion were specifically sent over from the capital by Xiao Hongjing, with only a few being newcomers.

Lu Yao, who had never seen the world, was amazed. So, this is what the homes of the wealthy looked like in ancient times.

"Yingjiu, take this lady to the west courtyard," Xiao Hongjing instructed.

"Yes, sir. Miss Lu, please come with me," Yingjiu said to Lu Yao. Lu Yao glanced at Ling Chunann, saw him nod at her, hesitated a bit, and then followed Yingjiu.

Not long after Ling Chunann arrived home, the news that he had brought a girl home spread among the servants.

"I heard the young master brought a girl home."

"I just ran into her. The girl was wearing a veil, so I couldn't see her face clearly, but she seemed to have a nice figure. The young master might have taken a liking to her..."

"Shut up, be careful if the master hears you, you'll be in trouble."

"But it's about time the young master got married. We've never seen him bring any girl home before."

"Lan Qing, what are you doing here?" Xue Mei tapped Lan Qing from behind. "I heard the young master is back, did you see him?"

Lan Qing snapped back to reality, shook her head, "No, I just heard the servants say the young master brought a girl back. Sister Xue Mei, let's go see."

Leading Ling Chunann back to the room, Xiao Hongjing didn't look at him but sat down on a chair directly.

Ling Chunann climbed onto him as if it was the most natural thing, skillfully sitting on the man's lap, wrapping his arms around his neck, pitifully saying, "I'm hungry."

Xiao Hongjing's built-up momentum dissipated in an instant, pinching Ling Chunann's face, "Then what's with that girl just now?"

"She's Lan You." Ling Chunann honestly replied, "But I don't know why she lost her memory and became quite strange, so I brought her back."

Xiao Hongjing nodded, not asking further, pinching Ling Chunann's slightly thinner waist, "What do you want to eat?"

Lu Yao stayed at Xiao's mansion because she was brought back by Ling Chunann. No one mistreated her or looked down upon her after seeing her appearance, which made her relax a lot. Over a few days, she became much closer to Lan Qing, Xue Mei, and a few other maids. Probably because of her personality, no one connected her with the previous Lan You.

Lu Yao was amazed as she watched the petals under Lan Qing's hands take shape. Are ancient times' young ladies all this capable? Then she looked at her own hands, then at the thin needle, and finally gave up on the idea of trying it herself, changing the subject, "Sister Lan Qing, what do you think Ah Qi has been up to recently? Why haven't we seen him for so many days?"

"He might be busy," Lan Qing stopped her work and replied, "By the way, Sister Yao, you said you've forgotten your memory before, do you still remember where your hometown is? I think your accent is quite similar to mine."

Lu Yao was startled by this question, afraid that people would realize she

was a time-traveler. Ling Chunann had told her that people they couldn't understand in this world were burned to death. Thinking of this, Lu Yao was scared and shook her head repeatedly, then forcibly calmed herself and answered, "I don't remember."

"Oh, is that so." Lan Qing easily believed Lu Yao's words, then seriously said, "Sister Yao, you're really pitiable."

Lu Yao felt as if she had been struck by an arrow in her heart. Are children nowadays so straightforward?

However, regarding Ling Chunann and Xiao Hongjing being a couple, Lu Yao was initially a bit uncertain, but after being educated by a few maids on local customs and cultural background, she became even more certain that Ling Chunann was joking with her that day.

After all, this is a monarchy feudal country, and there has never been a case of men marrying each other, especially in a household like Xiao's mansion, which is obviously very traditional.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao also relaxed.

Unknown to Lu Yao, 098 was puzzled over the female lead's mysteriously rising favorability for several days without understanding why. Seeing Ling Chunann awake, it quickly reported, "Host, the female lead's favorability is at 90% now."

"Hmm," Ling Chunann lazily responded, then glared at Xiao Hongjing, who came up to him upon waking up, wanting to kick him but feeling too weak in the leg, and finally just turned his head aside, saying to Xiao Hongjing, "Massage me."

"Okay, darling, are you hungry? What do you want for lunch?" The man, who had caught up on a month's worth of sexual activities, asked tenderly.

Ling Chunann glanced at him, and Xiao Hongjing, understanding him, picked him up and held him in his arms, "The plum blossoms have bloomed recently, do you want to eat plum blossom cakes?"

"Sure," Ling Chunann replied, then pressed down on the man's hand that was moving lower and bit him hard on the neck.

Xiao Hongjing chuckled softly, stroked Ling Chunann's back, "Baby, I love you."

Ling Chunann: "Hmm, I know."

Xiao Hongjing kissed Ling Chunann's forehead, "By the way, baby, the assassin who tried to kill you last night sneaked into the mansion again, and now he's locked in the dungeon. What do you think we should do with him?"

"Assassin?" Ling Chunann was puzzled.

"You might not remember, but during the sword-fighting tournament, he had come to your room," Xiao Hongjing said, then stroked Ling Chunann's head, "But that time, it was the emperor who sent him to kidnap you. This time, however, we don't know why."

098 was shocked internally, this man really knows everything, "Host, it's Blood Shadow."

Ling Chunann hummed in response, then said to Xiao Hongjing, "I'll go see him later."

"Okay."

That afternoon, Ling Chunann went to the dungeon. He stared at the man inside, who was silently lowering his head, for a few seconds, "Something's not right."

"What's not right?" 098 asked.

"Nothing," Ling Chunann answered, then signaled the accompanying Yingjiu to open the prison door.

Yingjiu obediently took out the key, and with a click, the door opened.

Ling Chunann said to the man inside, "You can go now."

Only then did the man react. He looked at Ling Chunann, a bright light flashing in his eyes, then saw Xiao Hongjing next to Ling Chunann, and the light dimmed, his voice hoarsely saying, "Thank you."

"What are you thinking about, baby?" Seeing Ling Chunann staring in the direction of the man's departure and zoning out, Xiao Hongjing asked.

"Is my plum blossom cake ready?" Ling Chunann asked.

"It's ready," Xiao Hongjing answered, "Let's go back and eat."

Taking advantage of Xiao Hongjing going to get Ling Chunann the plum blossom cake, 098 couldn't help but ask, "Host, what exactly did you say was wrong just now?"

Ling Chunann tapped the teacup lid, not keeping 098 in suspense any longer, directly saying, "Blood Shadow has a light brown mole the size of a red bean three fingers below the right ear."

098 couldn't help but gasp, "You mean he's the leader of the demon sect?" The original text never mentioned these two were the same person.

But thinking about it, wherever the demon sect leader appeared, Blood Shadow was never there, and the two had never appeared together, the same as now. Also, the first time Blood Shadow snuck into Ling Chunann's bedroom and saw him, the shock must have been because he didn't expect him to still be alive, and even

became his mission target.

So, he must have known the host was still alive early on, and even lied to him, but why did he still treat the female lead that way?

"Maybe that's love," Ling Chunann smiled and answered.

"..."

After returning home, Ling Chunann started living a beautiful life of studying medicine and martial arts when busy, playing chess and teasing birds when idle, and having a sexual life. He could occasionally brush the female lead's favorability, and using the female lead's appearance, he applied what he had learned. Of course, the official reason was still to treat her.

It must be said that Lu Yao's favorability was too easy to brush. Ling Chunann somewhat regretted giving her that bottom-of-the-box pill. ◢Sī◢tù◢zài◢xiàn◢yú◢dú◢

However, 098 kept marveling at the host's flirting skills, definitely a practiced hand. Ling Chunann wasn't like those who wanted to make a move right away. His care was always just right, never overstepping, not even harboring any ambiguous thoughts, yet somehow managed to make one's heart flutter.

After removing the gauze, satisfied with Lu Yao's now smooth face, Ling Chunann nodded, moved the copper mirror in front of her, "Take a look."

Lu Yao stared at the refined face in the mirror, then suddenly started crying, after a while, chokingly said to Ling Chunann, "Thank you."

Ling Chunann paused for a moment, then gently patted her shoulder, "No need to thank me."

"Female lead's favorability +5%, current favorability is 100%."

"Counterattack value +10%, current counterattack value is 100%, congratulations host on completing the task. Would you like to return to the mission space immediately?"
