Level Max Villainous Second Female Lead, Just Wants to Slack Off CHAPTER 23
Chapter 23: Day Twenty-Three of Slacking Off
This was indeed a term Wen Ying had never heard before in her previous reincarnations.
Perhaps it was because in her previous reincarnations, Wen Ying had never been to the dining hall, so she didn’t know that there was such a…magical profession in this world.
Wen Ying had heard of selling second-hand phones, second-hand cars, second-hand houses…but she had never heard of selling second-hand meals.
“Second-hand meals?” Wen Ying asked curiously, “What do you mean, Junior Brother…?”
Wen Ying sort of knew this disciple who came to buy second-hand meals.
He was one of the newly enrolled disciples, a background character who was neither male nor female lead. In previous reincarnations, the part of his entrance performance was always skipped, and he never spoke a word.
And now—
Truly, he was silent until he made a stunning debut!
Because he had just entered, he didn’t know Wen Ying’s illustrious reputation in the sect, which was why he dared to approach her.
“Senior Sister, let’s be frank, I’ve long known that if you’re slow, you won’t get any food, so you can only buy second-hand meals from you. Your mark is holding your tray high, right?” The disciple cautiously looked around, whispering, “I’ve also checked the price, two low-grade spirit stones, how about that?”
Wen Ying: “…”
Wow, food is so scarce in the Lin Xian Sect, that even the sale of such unpalatable food has scalpers!
According to the price in this world, two low-grade spirit stones could buy a Xuan-grade cultivation pill.
Seeing Wen Ying’s silence, the disciple continued, “When I entered this morning, I noticed Senior Sister. You were the only Senior Sister who paid attention to us, I know, Senior Sister, you must be a good person!”
No, she is actually fifty-two vicious second female leads…
“Junior Brother, it’s not that I won’t sell it to you, it’s that you’ve misunderstood.” Seeing the sincerity in the other party’s eyes, Wen Ying explained helplessly, “I’ve already eaten this food. I’m holding the tray because I want to find a place to throw it away.”
“Haha, Senior Sister, don’t joke,” the disciple waved his hand, lowering his voice, “Before I came, I had already found out everything in the sect. You can’t throw away food in this dining hall; you have to eat it all!”
Wen Ying:!!
No way, this disgusting food has to be eaten up?
And…so many people are scrambling to eat it?
Wen Ying looked around, and indeed, all the disciples were eating with relish, not looking like they found it unpalatable.
The food stalls were already sold out, and as the disciple said, there were a few scattered people conducting second-hand food transactions.
Wen Ying looked at the plate in her hand, lost in thought.
Was it her and Xiao Hei’s tongues that were the problem, or did everyone else in the sect have a problem with their taste buds?
Even if it was the principle of rarity increasing value, the dining hall’s food supply was insufficient, it shouldn’t distort people’s taste to this extent.
“Tongtong!”
At this moment, Fu Shuangxue’s call suddenly rang out in the dining hall.
Wen Ying didn’t need to look to know that Xu Tongtong’s poisoning scene had begun.
“Oh! Junior Sister Xu!”
“What’s wrong with her…Is she poisoned?”
Xu Tongtong, after all, was one of the heroines, and she was popular in the Xun Xian Sect. With Xu Tongtong’s collapse, a lot of commotion immediately arose.
Wen Ying turned her head to look at Fu Shuangxue and Xu Tongtong—
Xu Tongtong’s face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and she kept shouting: “It’s so hot, Senior Brother Fu, I’m so hot…”
Wow.
Because in the previous fifty-one times, Wen Ying had diligently completed her tasks and never allowed Xu Tongtong to be truly poisoned, she didn’t know that the so-called “poisoning” was actually this kind of…poison.
Fu Shuangxue quickly took out an antidote pill and fed it to Xu Tongtong, then poured in his inner energy. After a moment, Xu Tongtong spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood, and her pulse finally stabilized.
Fu Shuangxue gently placed the still unconscious Xu Tongtong on the table. After confirming that Xu Tongtong was safe, Fu Shuangxue breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up Xu Tongtong’s food from the table and sniffed it slightly, his expression immediately changing.
Sure enough, Tongtong’s food was poisoned!
The moment Fu Shuangxue put down the food, everyone’s eyes turned to Wen Ying.
Only the disciple next to Wen Ying immediately became nervous.
“Senior Sister, they wouldn’t be…after your food, would they!” The little disciple said anxiously, “This won’t do, first come, first served, I reserved your food first!”
Wen Ying didn’t care about the gazes of Fu Shuangxue and the others who were walking towards her.
Her only curiosity was about the little disciple beside her.
If it was said that his way of thinking was peculiar… it was a bit too peculiar.
“Didn’t you see, this food has killed people?” Wen Ying asked the disciple.
“Ah, I did.” The disciple nodded, “A little poisoning, in our Xun Xian Sect, it’s quite normal, isn’t it?”
Wen Ying frowned slightly.
She had thought that this disciple was just an ordinary disciple, at most, like the Enforcement Elder, a background character who couldn’t speak.
But now it seems…
She seemed to have unlocked an extraordinary character.
While Wen Ying was distracted, Fu Shuangxue had already walked over.
“Senior Sister Wen! Why did you poison Tongtong!” Fu Shuangxue’s eyes were icy as he questioned Wen Ying.
“You’re right,” Wen Ying nodded, “Why would I poison Xu Tongtong? What would I gain?”
As a vicious second female lead, what would she gain by giving the heroine this kind of poison?
To help promote the relationship between the male and female leads? It couldn’t be to seduce the heroine…
This question actually stunned Fu Shuangxue.
Yeah, why?
Just now…why did he firmly believe that Wen Ying was the poisoner?
Because it was Wen Ying!
Only Wen Ying would harm Tongtong, and just now, Wen Ying clearly touched Tongtong’s food!
“It’s just…” Fu Shuangxue blurted out, but stopped in the next moment.
He suddenly remembered Wen Ying’s embarrassment when she scratched her head.
He also remembered the completely different feeling Wen Ying gave him when she patted his shoulder.
Something was wrong, very wrong.
At that time, Wen Ying just wanted to raise her hand, why did he think Wen Ying was going to hit Tongtong?
Just like now, Wen Ying had indeed bumped into Tongtong, but did he see Wen Ying poison Tongtong?
This was the first time Wen Ying heard Fu Shuangxue’s inner thoughts.
Perhaps in previous reincarnations, Fu Shuangxue had never had such thoughts.
After all, in the previous fifty-one times, Wen Ying never let the poisoning succeed.
Wen Ying absolutely didn’t believe this was some kind of “paper person awakening.”
After more than fifty reincarnations, Wen Ying knew that although they were characters in the book, their actions were constantly cyclical, but they were definitely not paper people.
So, this was…
“This is…soul-seduction!” Fu Shuangxue reacted at the same time, his gaze suddenly sharp, his inner energy probing the surroundings.
But Fu Shuangxue didn’t find the source of the control.
It was as if this control permeated every corner of the dining hall, but wasn’t on any one person.
If that was the case, there was one more thing he needed to do first.
“I’m sorry, Senior Sister Wen, I didn’t have any evidence and shouldn’t have suspected you rashly,” Fu Shuangxue bowed his head, bowing to Wen Ying apologetically, “No matter what the reason, casually framing others is not the behavior of a gentleman. Senior Sister Wen, I’m sorry.”
After Fu Shuangxue finished speaking, the disciples around them suddenly realized, as if a sudden enlightenment had struck them.
Yes, why did they immediately suspect Wen Ying just now?
Even if Wen Ying had feelings for Fu Shuangxue, there was no need to poison Xu Tongtong!
Although the crowd didn’t question Wen Ying like Fu Shuangxue did, they had still suspected her and felt guilty, so they quickly turned their heads and buried their heads in their food—
“Spit, spit, spit!”
“Ugh!”
For a moment, various unpleasant sounds echoed in the dining hall.
“My god! I was actually eating this kind of thing just now!!” A surprised exclamation erupted from the crowd.
The disciple next to Wen Ying who was about to buy second-hand food also seemed to suddenly realize, staring blankly at the spirit stones in his hand—
“What was I going to buy just now…second-hand food? Why would I want to buy someone else’s leftovers!”
It seemed that the taste buds and intelligence of the disciples in the dining hall had returned to normal.
