The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 241 (Patreon)

Chapter 241

The moment the pseudo-dragon came into contact with Ling Chunann, it suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness rising from the depths of its heart, awakening it instantly. In panic, it tried to retreat, only to realize it couldn't escape. The energy it had accumulated over thousands of years was rapidly depleting.

"Roar!!!"

The pseudo-dragon let out a howl, "You despicable human! How dare you ambush me! Release me!"

However, its cries were in vain, Ling Chunann didn’t pay it any attention.

The pseudo-dragon's cries grew louder and more miserable. 098 was terrified, but its previous action of pouncing towards Ling Chunann ceased, marveling at how formidable its host was. Such a powerful soul, which even it didn't dare to provoke, was actually being absorbed by its host.

Gradually, the pseudo-dragon's voice weakened until the black mist completely dissipated. Ling Chunann looked down at the mark on his wrist.

"Darling, I'm going to rest for a bit. You take your friend and go out first," Tang Shouxu's voice whispered in Ling Chunann's ear.

"Okay."

Ling Chunann had deliberately provoked the pseudo-dragon. Regardless of the creature, when emotions cloud its judgment, its intelligence would be impacted to some extent, and the pseudo-dragon was no exception.

Tang Shouxu had arrived earlier when they were at the White Jade Pond. Without Tang Shouxu's presence, Ling Chunann wouldn’t have been able to easily transcend all the resentful spirits there. It was also Tang Shouxu who signaled Ling Chunann to provoke the pseudo-dragon.

Fortunately, their cooperation was perfect, and the pseudo-dragon easily took the bait. However, what Ling Chunann didn’t expect was that Tang Shouxu transferred all the absorbed energy into his body, and he had no way to refuse it.

Feeling the energy filling his body and looking at the now still mark on his wrist, he turned to look at 098.

098 was eagerly looking at its host, relieved to finally catch his attention and put on a pitiful look, "Host, please take me back, this body is too uncomfortable."

Han Chen, overall, was quite handsome and had a relatively mature and stable temperament. However, possibly under 098's influence, he appeared much more childish.

Ling Chunann glanced at 098, "Take him home first, then you can come out."

"But... I can't walk..." 098 wanted to say, but quickly swallowed the words. If it revealed itself now, with the male lead still unconscious, wouldn't it mean the host would have to carry the male lead back? The thought seemed almost impossible.

Appreciating 098's rare wisdom, Ling Chunann was quite satisfied. He walked to a corner of the secret chamber, touched something, and a door silently appeared on the previously empty wall. Ling Chunann said, "Let's go."

Following Ling Chunann, stumbling while transporting the male lead’s body back to his home, 098 finally regained its freedom. Back inside Ling Chunann, it took a deep breath of relief.

Leaving Han Chen’s home, Ling Chunann asked, "098, how do you feel?"

"About what?" Ling Chunann's question was too casual and sudden, leaving 098 momentarily confused.

"Never mind." Ling Chunann smiled, "You did well, 098."

"I was just doing my job," 098 quickly replied, then noticed its system notification, "Wow, host, the mission is complete!"

Ling Chunann nodded, taking out a bead and tossing it.

098's eyes widened, "Where did you get this from?" It remembered this item wasn’t in the ancient tomb. According to the plot, it should still be with a female ghost.

"Hmm, that female ghost was in the ancient tomb," Ling Chunann said. It was actually the original owner's mother, "A gift for transcending her."

098 admired the host's luck, but soon it had a new question. Was it really just luck?

From teaching the male lead cultivation techniques to being possessed, to the performance in the ancient tomb, and finally the item in his hand, at first glance, it seemed coincidental. But upon reflection, everything seemed to be under Ling Chunann's control.

Remembering what Ling Chunann had asked it to do, 098 felt somewhat delighted. If it were before its enhancement, facing the pseudo-dragon's soul would have been impossible. But this time, Ling Chunann letting it assist and entrusting the male lead's safety to it showed trust. It even complained about the human body being uncomfortable, which was really not living up to the host's trust.

"Host, the mission is completed. Do you want to return to the system space now?"

Hearing the system's excited voice, Ling Chunann knew it was imagining things again. He looked

up at the overcast sky, "Not yet."

Perhaps due to the excessive energy consumption, 098 slept for a long time afterward. Tang Shouxu appeared full of energy the next day in Ling Chunann's bed. The first thing he did was pin him down and kiss him fiercely, "Darling, am I amazing?"

"Amazing, indeed!" Ling Chunann was a bit out of breath, "Get up, I have to go to class."

Tang Shouxu didn't move, looking a bit aggrieved, "Let's rest today. I was exhausted yesterday. That guy's energy was really hard to convert."

Ling Chunann rolled his eyes, "Didn't you say you were going to consume it yourself? Why give it to me?"

"Because," Tang Shouxu looked into Ling Chunann's eyes, "I want to be with my darling forever."

Ling Chunann's eyes flickered, then he flipped over and pressed Tang Shouxu down, raising his eyebrows with a high-spirited smile, "Alright, but I have to be on top."

Tang Shouxu's eyes filled with surprise, "Okay."

Then Ling Chunann found out that Tang Shouxu's idea of being on top meant "sit on it, move yourself." After struggling twice, Ling Chunann couldn’t bother to move anymore and bit Tang Shouxu fiercely, "I’m not doing this anymore."

Tang Shouxu looked innocent, "It was you who wanted to be on top."

"Shut up." Ling Chunann bit his lips, initially intending to bite hard but then eased up, "Move!"

Tang Shouxu chuckled lowly, "I love you, darling."

"Congratulations, host, for completing the mission. You have earned a total of 70,000 energy points from this mission, rated as high-level world, with an energy point double reward for exceeding the mission level, and an extra 10,000 energy points for completing a hidden mission, totaling 150,000 energy points from this world, bringing your current total energy points to 270,000." 098 wasn’t surprised by the outcome anymore, "The system shop is now open. Would you like to purchase anything?"

"No."

Ling Chunann touched his earlobe, where the earring had disappeared.

098 was shocked, "Host, how could it disappear?"

Although it was a gray item, it looked good on the host. How could it suddenly vanish? That was worth 300,000 energy points, not 3,000, nor 30,000, but 300,000!

Ling Chunann didn’t show much reaction, simply sitting down without starting the next mission.

That earring had actually disappeared the day Tang Shouxu transferred the pseudo-dragon's energy into Ling Chunann. At that time, Ling Chunann didn’t care, but now back in the system space, he realized that his soul, which should have cleared the previous world’s power upon return, still perfectly retained those energies. They combined perfectly with his original power, forming a regular energy sphere at his heart’s location.

This sensation made Ling Chunann feel as if his heart was still beating.

But in reality, a soul doesn’t have a heart.

"Host, shall we start the next mission?" Seeing Ling Chunann finally open his eyes, 098 asked.

Ling Chunann had not stayed in the mission space for such a long time before.

However, 098 still found it strange that the mission space, as the ultimate destination for the taskers, was eagerly transformed by other hosts to their liking. Yet, Ling Chunann, after so many missions, still left the space in its original empty state, which looked somewhat eerie.

Thinking this, 098 also voiced its thoughts.

Ling Chunann didn’t answer 098’s question, stood up, dusted off his nonexistent dust, and smiled at it, "Let's go."

The host really looks good when he smiles, 098 felt a bit shy. After so many missions, Ling Chunann had taken on many beautiful forms, but it still thought the host's original body was the most handsome.

Thinking this, 098 felt a bit regretful. After all, as a tasker, eventually...

"You bastard, why do you have such valuable things? Hand them over!"

Ling Chunann had just opened his eyes when he was pushed to the ground, realizing that this body's eyes were a bit blurry, unable to see clearly. He could barely make out a few vague figures in front of him, but at least his ears were fine, able to hear the arrogant laughter nearby, probably seven or eight people, all very young.

"Spit, look at your pathetic self, born without a mother’s care, and even blind. I bet the dogs by the roadside are more likable than you. Hand over your things if you know what’s good for you! You don’t want to be locked in the

pigpen again, do you? Hahaha!"

The irritating voice spoke again, accompanied by a hand reaching for Ling Chunann's neck.

This body was weak, and having just absorbed the memories, Ling Chunann felt dizzy and in pain all over, his vision unclear. He instinctively grabbed the arm and bit down hard.

"Ahhhh!"

The richly dressed young man screamed in pain, and the others hurriedly came to pull Ling Chunann off. Ling Chunann, much stronger than the original owner, remained unmoved, biting off a piece of flesh and then biting again.

This was not a man, and Ling Chunann, with no mercy, didn’t intentionally avoid the arteries. An artery ruptured, spraying his face with blood.

Never having seen such a scene, the few young men who had intended to intervene panicked immediately.

"Help! Murder! The idiot’s gone mad!!"
