The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 115

Chapter 115

The ditch was piled high with household garbage. When the Vampire Prince fell in, a heap of rubbish tumbled along with him, burying him thoroughly. Ling Chunann glanced around, ensuring no one would discover the fellow. He casually patted his shoulder and paused, gazing beneath the rubbish heap in the ditch. "According to the original text, he seemed to have only awakened tonight. Why does it seem like he's about to wake up now?"

"...Probably the stench from the ditch woke him up," 098 replied uncertainly.

"Hmm." Ling Chunann nodded, somewhat agreeing with 098's explanation.

By now, the hand of the male lead had emerged from the garbage heap. 098 startled, "Host, let's leave quickly."

Even though the male lead was currently in distress, he was still a vampire prince. If the host were spotted by him, what would happen in the future?

"Alright, let's go back." Ling Chunann glanced around, then bent down to pick up two bricks. After a moment's thought, he layered them with a touch of dark power and hurled them fiercely, hitting the mark.

The male lead, who had just regained consciousness and hadn't fully grasped the situation, was struck on the head successively by two bricks. Without a sound, he fell unconscious once more.

"Resilience +5%. Current resilience is 5%. Please continue your efforts, Host."

The host was ruthless.

Ling Chunann strolled leisurely nearby, then slowly made his way back to the female lead's neighborhood.

Before going upstairs, Ling Chunann noticed a shadow fleeting through the community garden, heading towards the eastern part of the city.

"Host, it's an elder-level vampire." 098 remarked, "I wonder if he's here for the female lead."

"No, he's been following me since I left with the prince earlier." Ling Chunann said, "So he's not under the male lead, which leaves only one possibility."

"What is it?" 098 inquired.

"He might have taken a liking to me, perhaps wanting me to be his son," Ling Chunann replied.

"...Host, please don't joke." 

Newly turned vampires typically have a guide, referred to by the vampire community as a father. Usually, this role is assumed by the one who turned them initially. However, if someone becomes a vampire unexpectedly, they can be adopted by another vampire. But there's a condition: the guide's level must be higher than that of the new vampire.

Shu Yiheng was bitten accidentally by a prince-level vampire. With the energy originally in his body, his vampire career started at the level of a vampire elder, not to mention the energy Ling Chunann brought. So, 098 was certain, there was absolutely no elder-level vampire daring enough to be Ling Chunann's guide.

Ling Chunann didn't respond to 098's skepticism. He reached into his pocket, found Su Zijing's keys, and opened the door.

It had been exactly an hour since Ling Chunann left. Su Zijing had just gone out to buy groceries, so the house was neat and tidy. Ling Chunann went straight to the fridge, where he found fruits and drinks bought by Shu Yiheng yesterday, along with some instant noodles.

"Host, what are you looking for?" 098 asked. Though Ling Chunann appeared no different from usual, it felt like he was on edge.

Ling Chunann didn't answer. He closed the fridge, took out a fruit knife from the fruit basket, and decisively cut his wrist. A scar appeared on his fair wrist, but strangely, no blood flowed from the wound.

A real vampire's heart beats, and aside from being cold and having darker blood, they look just like humans on the surface. So, he couldn't be considered a genuine vampire yet, as his initial turning wasn't complete.

Ling Chunann lightly touched his injured wrist, a white light flashed, and the wound healed. He licked the blood off the blade and then frowned, placing the knife under the tap.

"Seems spoiled," Ling Chunann commented.

098 couldn't help but agree with how the host described his own blood.

Half an hour later, Su Zijing returned and found Ling Chunann sitting on the couch. "Huh? Yiheng, you're back so early. I was just about to cook and bring some food over for you. Where did you take him? Which hospital? I'll go check on him later."

"Oh, no need. I ran into his family just a couple of streets away after I took him out. They've taken him away to Jiangcheng Hospital," Ling Chunann took the bag from Su Zijing's hand, completely forgetting about the male lead who was still buried in the ditch. "I left their contact information. Do you want to call and ask?"

"To Jiangcheng, huh." Su Zijing rubbed her slightly sore arm. "Since you've confirmed it, I won't bother. It's good his family came and took him away. I'm making tomato beef and sweet and sour spare ribs for lunch today, both your favorites. How about some cucumber and preserved egg soup?"

"Sounds good. I'll help." 

"No need, you rest. You'll feel better soon." The young girl pressed Ling Chunann onto the couch, kissed his cheek, then blushing, went to the kitchen. "Don't come in!"

"Counterattack value +5%, current counterattack value is 10%, please continue to work hard," 098 reported.

Shu Yiheng rubbed his face. "098, believe it or not, that was the first time a girl kissed me."

"..."

"If I weren't a vampire, maybe I could consider her."

"..."

"Host, you mentioned earlier that the male lead was taken away by his family. Aren't you worried the female lead might call to confirm?" The aroma of tomato beef wafted over, finally prompting 098 to speak.

"She won't," Shu Yiheng asserted confidently. "She trusts Shu Yiheng a lot," he paused, "at least for now."

Thus, the original text would develop to that point. Though not entirely blaming the female lead, Shu Yiheng's death was somewhat unjustified. If not for her, he wouldn't have died.

Despite the circumstances, Shu Yiheng didn't hold any resentment towards Su Ziqi.

The girl hadn't developed feelings for any male lead yet, still too innocent. Shu Yiheng decided he would find her a reliable human boyfriend in the future.

"Oh, by the way, Host," 098 remembered something.

"What? 098, do you feel like you've become particularly talkative lately?" Shu Yiheng stood up, heading to the kitchen. Without waiting for 098's response, he shouted, "Xiao Qi, I have something urgent to attend to, I'm heading out."

"Huh? What's the rush? Can't you wait until after lunch?" Su Ziqi poked her head out from the kitchen.

"No time," Shu Yiheng said as he put on his hat and left, "I'll be back tonight. Take care at home."

"Okay, come back soon."

Once outside, Shu Yiheng asked, "098, what did you want to ask me earlier?"

"...It's nothing."

"I just wanted to ask if the Host really intended to have lunch at the Female Lead's house? It seems unnecessary now, but, Host, what's the rush?" It sounded like a matter of life and death just now.

"I'm fine."

"..."

As Shu Yiheng left the alley, he felt as if he was being watched, a familiar sensation. Thus, he continued as he normally would.

After packing his belongings, Shu Yiheng returned to the Female Lead's neighborhood in the evening, as promised. Knowing he would move back, Su Ziqi spent the afternoon cleaning his room, and now it was spotless.

"Yiheng, you're back! I just finished cleaning." Shu Yiheng opened the door to Su Ziqi's bright smile.

"You've worked hard." Shu Yiheng put down his box and patted the dust off the girl's face. "It must have taken you a long time to clean, right? Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet, I'll go downstairs to heat it up soon." Su Ziqi blushed a bit shyly.

"As a thank you, let me cook noodles for you. I bought some ingredients just now." Shu Yiheng warmly offered.

"Um, alright." Su Ziqi hesitated for a moment but was ultimately overcome by her strong curiosity. "I've never tasted noodles made by you before."

"098, the original text didn't make it clear. This girl wasn't in a relationship with the original male lead. At most, it was just a flirtatious stage. Why refer to them as boyfriend and girlfriend?" Shu Yiheng carried the noodles to the kitchen.

"Um, maybe the author misunderstood something about childhood sweethearts," 098 replied uncertainly.

Though it had been a while since Shu Yiheng last cooked, he still had the skills. At least, the female lead was generous with her praise.

After seeing off the female lead, Shu Yiheng was about to take a bath and sleep when he suddenly noticed the absence of the presence that had followed him all day.

Just as he was about to search, he felt a strong force push him down onto the bed, and a slightly sour voice sounded in his ear, "Who was that human just now?"
