Level Max Villainous Second Female Lead, Just Wants to Slack Off CHAPTER 53

Chapter 53: Slacking Off Day 53

The competition began.

Xu Tongtong drew a dagger from her waist, chanted incantations earnestly, and concentrated her true energy, thrusting the dagger towards Wen Ying!

“Wen Ying” immediately reacted.

She forcefully kicked towards the dagger, while her other leg was clearly in a dodging position. One hand was raised to block, while the other was behind her back, leaving her chest wide open.

This scene stunned everyone.

“Wen Ying’s” entire body was contorted at an absurd angle.

One leg forward, one leg back, one hand raised, one hand behind her back; it looked like she was… preparing to perform an opera?

Wen Ying could see that the two forces were struggling fiercely.

So fiercely that “Wen Ying” was extremely distorted.

The creators of these two forces, Xu Mofeng and Xu Huang, were completely unaware of the other force’s existence.

Not only the audience but even Xu Tongtong, her opponent, was startled by “Wen Ying’s” posture, causing her dagger to miss its target. With Xu Huang’s efforts, “Wen Ying” barely dodged the attack.

Xu Huang only intended to use Wen Ying to injure Xu Tongtong, but “Wen Ying” foolishly charged towards the dagger. Xu Huang had no choice but to pull her back.

Now, Xu Tongtong had missed, and it was the perfect opportunity!

Xu Huang manipulated “Wen Ying’s” right hand to draw a long sword from her waist—

But Wen Ying’s left hand pushed it back.

She drew the sword again—

And it was pushed back again.

This action made everyone present, including Xu Tongtong, freeze again.

“Wen Ying” continued to maintain her half-squatting posture, repeatedly drawing and sheathing the sword…

So, she was really acting, wasn’t she?

The audience seemed to have already imagined the plot.

“Tonight, Father ordered me to go to the mountain alone—”

“Should I go, or should I not go—”

Wasn’t this the classic selection from the opera “The Ruthless Concubine”— “Father Ordered Me to the Mountain”?

Since Wen Ying had never been exposed to this world’s entertainment before, this was her first time hearing about this “classic opera.”

Wen Ying thought the storybooks in her room were already outrageous enough, but there were even more outrageous entertainment methods than those storybooks.

Compared to words, the performance had been upgraded. Upgraded to opera.

But surprisingly, Wen Ying found it quite entertaining.

This puppet show was truly spectacular!

Wen Ying was watching happily, and the audience gradually shifted from being stunned to appreciation.

Even Xu Tongtong, who was initially stunned, gradually forgot her situation and merged into the role of a spectator.

Only Xu Huang and Xu Mofeng, the hard-working people, were sweating profusely.

Wen Ying was quite touched by the scene.

One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage. Every puppet show performance was like this.

People only see the glamorous appearance of the puppets on stage; how many people notice the efforts and hardships of the puppeteers behind the scenes?

Every perfect performance requires the efforts of those behind the scenes!

Like Xu Huang and Xu Mofeng at this moment.

Seeing this, Xu Mofeng knew that this stalemate wouldn’t work.

While trying to draw the sword, he snatched the sword handle from the other hand and quickly threw the sword ten meters away.

The audience once again imagined the lyrics.

“Now that I’ve been reborn, I will not be used again—the long sword, I discard it—”

Xu Mofeng’s brows were tightly furrowed, his expression gloomy.

Why did Wen Ying suddenly develop such a strong desire to win?

He thought that with Wen Ying’s previous performance and her weaker cultivation than Xu Tongtong, a little manipulation would make her lose quickly. But it turned into this troublesome situation.

Seeing that she had lost the sword, Xu Huang simply raised “Wen Ying’s” hand, intending to strike Xu Tongtong with a palm, then using her true energy to hit Xu Tongtong, creating the illusion of Wen Ying intentionally injuring her.

Seeing this, Xu Mofeng panicked!

He knew Xu Tongtong’s intelligence; now that she was engrossed in watching, she had no fighting spirit. If she was hit by this palm, wouldn’t all the previous efforts be in vain!

In a panic, Xu Mofeng could only manipulate “Wen Ying’s” other hand, quickly blocking the hand that was about to strike.

“Slap!”

A crisp sound of clapping was heard on the stage.

The opera lyrics echoed in everyone’s minds again.

“Ah! I—have a good idea!”

This part of the selection was about to enter the final climax.

Everyone held their breath and watched carefully.

Xu Mofeng and Xu Huang were also very nervous.

The collision of their true energy was intense; neither was willing to yield, even more so than before.

“Crack.”

A subtle sound came from the stage, but everyone was engrossed in the play, and Xu Mofeng and Xu Huang were focused on their confrontation, neither noticing the sound.

Except for Wen Ying.

Because Xu Mofeng and Xu Huang were fighting so fiercely, the piece of broken wood she casually picked up from the ground was about to break.

Wen Ying didn’t want that to happen.

No one wants to see themselves cracking in two.

The worst part was that the broken part could probably still move…

After thinking for a moment, Wen Ying casually injected a stream of true energy into the “Wen Ying” on stage.

This true energy wasn’t to counter Xu Huang and Xu Mofeng; it was merely to harmonize and weaken their control techniques.

Sure enough, the next moment, the “Wen Ying” on stage’s hands and feet began to move and wave uncontrollably.

“I can—pretend to be drunk!”

Someone started it, and thunderous applause erupted on the stage.

“Well done!”

Some people even shouted.

Even Xu Tongtong on stage hurriedly began to clap and cheer.

However… she forgot she was still holding a dagger…

Seeing the dagger piercing her palm, the blood slowly seeping from the wound…

“Aaah!!” Xu Tongtong finally reacted, jumping and screaming in pain.

Author’s Note:

Don’t doubt Xu Tongtong’s intelligence…

She’s someone who can jump off a cliff to save someone hhh

Didn’t expect an update at this time, hehe!
