Chapter 100: The One Hundredth Day of Slacking Off
[Host, where is your imposing manner! Aura, bring out your aura! Don’t just answer whatever Ling Qianming asks!]
The system reminded Wen Ying anxiously in her mind.
[Okay.] Wen Ying rarely agreed with the system internally.
The system obviously heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, the Host finally listened for once.
If it weren’t for the sake of those Tofu Dregs, and the fact that Wen Ying’s mood was decent right now, she definitely wouldn’t have paid attention to this system.
It had been so long; she would give the system some face this time.
Don’t answer whatever Ling Qianming asks, right?
Then whatever Ling Qianming asked, she just wouldn’t answer.
A glint of amusement flashed in Wen Ying’s eyes.
“During the match, listening to the disciples of your sect, they seem to think your cultivation is extremely low, your personality is barbaric, and you act without thinking.” Although Ling Qianming had dropped the previous topic, he didn’t step aside but continued to ask, “Why?”
“Just facts.” Wen Ying started talking nonsense.
“You are lying.” Ling Qianming frowned.
“That’s right, I’m very honest.” Wen Ying nodded in full agreement.
Ling Qianming’s expression darkened a few degrees more.
On the matter of Wen Meng, Wen Ying’s candor was completely beyond his expectations.
But what he couldn’t understand even more was why this woman before him wanted to recklessly conceal the truth regarding these erroneous prejudices.
There must be a reason.
She never thought of hurting Wen Meng; she didn’t even care about how Wen Meng was. And she was hiding in the Xun Xian Sect with another purpose.
This is probably what a Sect Leader is like.
Wen Ying listened to Ling Qianming’s meticulous analytical thoughts and shrugged.
He was thinking way too much; she was purely just talking nonsense.
…Although, his analysis ultimately turned out to be largely correct.
“At the Trial of Immortals, why did you deliberately lose? Is there a problem with the Trial of Immortals?” After analyzing, Ling Qianming asked again in a deep voice.
“Well, the weather is nice today.” Wen Ying casually pointed at the sky.
Starting from just now, Wen Ying seemed to have become a different person. No matter the answer, it sounded like a chicken talking to a duck.
But this was impossible. Unless she had mental problems, a normal person wouldn’t give such completely unrelated answers even if they didn’t want to answer. Moreover, Wen Ying was a smart person.
Could it be… a hint?
Because she was in the Xun Xian Sect, it wasn’t convenient to speak?
If so, then the source of the problem could only be…
Ling Qianming quickly recalled the direction Wen Ying pointed just now.
Sure enough, that was where Xu Mofeng resided, Feng Hua Residence.
Xu Mofeng… Heh.
Ling Qianming’s gaze turned cold.
Wen Ying: “…”
Heaven and earth be her witness, she was really just talking nonsense and pointing randomly.
Wen Ying hadn’t expected that after Ling Qianming’s two rounds of very wrong analysis, the conclusions he reached… were actually correct.
It was like a lucky person who got the whole process wrong but guessed the result right.
And he guessed right twice in a row.
It had to be said, what a talent.
“Thank you for today.” Ling Qianming nodded to Wen Ying to show his gratitude. “Since you are concealing your identity, I will not say a word to others about today’s matters.”
…Wen Ying really felt she hadn’t done anything.
“I also owe you a favor.” Saying this, Ling Qianming took out an iron token from his sleeve. “If you need my help with anything in the future, you can come to the Xuan Tian Sect to find me with this Xuan Tian Token.”
After thinking about it, Wen Ying accepted the Xuan Tian Token.
If she refused, she would inevitably have to talk to Ling Qianming, and it would probably be hard to keep talking nonsense.
Wen Ying was a persistent person.
Since she decided not to answer whatever Ling Qianming asked, she had to stick to it to the end.
Definitely not because it was amusing.
After handing over the Xuan Tian Token, Ling Qianming teleported again, returning to Elder Nang Ge’s room.
[Mission Success! Being able to make Ling Qianming thank the Host and owe the Host a favor—Host’s aura undoubtedly suppressed Ling Qianming!]
While walking back, a mission box popped up in front of Wen Ying.
[Look Host, isn’t the advice I, Little System, gave very correct!]
After the mission box popped up, the system hurriedly came out to start showing off.
[So, Host, you can listen to my advice more often in the future. I can definitely help you complete the missions smoothly!]
“You mean, as long as I listen to you, I can escape the cycle of reincarnation?” Since they were on the topic, although it wasn’t the first time Wen Ying had asked, she still wanted to hear the current system’s answer.
[Reincarnation and world overlaps are bugs. Actually, I don’t understand why they appear either. I am just an ordinary Second Female Lead Counterattack System. Logically speaking, Host just needs to keep counterattacking.]
Reincarnation… was also a bug?
This was the first time Wen Ying had heard this statement from the system.
Wasn’t this the rule? If the mission failed, one would enter reincarnation.
Unless… this wasn’t the original rule.
Or perhaps… Wen Ying was now even beginning to doubt the existence of reincarnation itself.
However, that was at best a wild guess from Wen Ying’s overactive imagination.
It shouldn’t be possible.
Just as Wen Ying said before, if she couldn’t figure it out, she shouldn’t think about it.
Wen Ying had an intuition that in this reincarnation, she would definitely solve the riddle of it all.
However, the simpler things seemed, the harder they were to achieve.
Just like when Wen Ying returned to her room, she found that Shen Linfeng had disappeared from the bed.
And Xiao Hei was sleeping soundly on the side.
After checking briefly, Wen Ying knew that Xiao Hei had been hit with sleeping incense.
If it were a real spell, Xiao Hei might not have been caught, but against this most ordinary knockout drug, Xiao Hei had no resistance and absolutely no relevant experience.
True, if not for this, he probably wouldn’t have been confusedly trapped inside a stone wall for hundreds of years.
Given Shen Linfeng’s physical condition, logically speaking, he shouldn’t have been able to wake up and leave on his own.
Looking at it this way, the possibility of him being taken away by someone else was higher.
But Shen Linfeng hid too much. Wen Ying couldn’t judge whether this matter was Shen Linfeng’s own doing or if he was abducted by others.
This time, she had been careless.
Based on Wen Ying’s judgment, she had always felt that no matter what Shen Linfeng wanted to do, he couldn’t possibly escape.
If he was abducted… Wen Ying actually felt inexplicably relieved. Shen Linfeng had hidden so much from her; would he be the kind of person who let others slaughter him?
In short, the riddle she thought could be solved when Shen Linfeng woke up would probably have to be postponed for a while.
…
That afternoon, someone notified Wen Ying of her opponent and time for the next match.
Tomorrow, Wen Ying’s match against Long Musheng was in the second slot of the afternoon.
The time was finally not ungodly, but the person was a bit “ungodly” (hellish/terrible).
Hearing Xu Huang’s inner thoughts that day, Wen Ying had thought she would fight Xu Huang first.
Unexpectedly, just like the original, her opponent in this match was still Long Musheng.
If it was Long Musheng, just like in previous reincarnations… she probably couldn’t even throw the match if she wanted to.
Because, according to the original plot, Wen Ying won this match by default.
This was the plot in Long Musheng’s “No CP Upgrade Flow Male Lead” novel.
The day before the Trial of Immortals match, Long Musheng was driven out of the sect by Wen Ying, the vicious second female lead, using underhanded means.
So, in the match the next day, Wen Ying won without fighting. And Long Musheng remembered Wen Ying’s viciousness from this incident, and after being driven out of the sect, he had a fortuitous encounter and his cultivation increased greatly.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
In Long Musheng’s No CP novel, Wen Ying was probably just a tool to help provide him with motivation to level up.
Sure enough, just as the notifying disciple left, a familiar mission box popped up in front of Wen Ying.
[Second Female Lead in the No CP Upgrade Flow Male Lead Novel, Mission Three: Stop Long Musheng from being driven away in time, and build a closer relationship with Long Musheng!]
Wen Ying originally did have some intention to stop it.
But then she thought about it: even if she pulled Long Musheng back and continued to throw the match, she might not actually be able to lose. It was very likely that she would put in the effort but get no thanks.
Forget it, forget it, too much trouble.
It was just losing; definitely next time.
Wen Ying retracted her steps and returned to the desk to read the melodramatic storybook written by Master Ziwei.
This one was called Storybook Protagonist’s Counterattack Record.
Compared to the previous melodramatic novels, the theme of this one was novel. It told the story of a storybook heroine prototype who had always been used to create jokes. Through small things in daily life, she gradually changed people’s stereotypes and finally counterattacked to become the richest person in the city.
The reason it was novel was mainly its narrative perspective, which was very fresh.
The whole piece was narrated from the perspective of the storybook author. All of the heroine’s counterattack processes were reflected through the content of the storybook written by that author in the text.
Correspondingly, the bad ending of this storybook was also bad in a very fresh and refined way.
Because of the heroine’s continuous counterattacks, the sales of the author’s storybook in the text got worse and worse, so that author chose to end it at light speed.
The last paragraph of Storybook Heroine’s Counterattack Record—which was the last paragraph where the author in the text forcibly cut it short to finish it—read:
“Because the heroine is simply too rich, so rich that words can no longer describe it, this author’s textual description can only end here. Please imagine the rest of the story yourselves.”
Compared to the previous bad endings, this one was fresh and refined.
Wen Ying closed the storybook with satisfaction.
Probably because she had read too many of Master Ziwei’s storybooks, even her tolerance for bad endings had greatly increased.
Author’s Note: I suddenly feel that this perspective I mentioned is really interesting. It describes a person’s counterattack story through a story within a story. It would also be nice if it were changed to mutual achievement.
