The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 314 (Patreon)

Chapter 314

Seeing Ling Chunann pause, Qi Yang couldn't help but ask, "What?"

"Actually, I was planning to kill him later," Ling Chunann said to 098.

098 was silent, suddenly feeling a bit of sympathy for this eager-to-die tasker.

Without answering Qi Yang's question, Ling Chunann pointed at the backpack next to Qi Yang, which he had just taken clothes from, now with its zipper open, "Hand me the bag for a moment."

Ling Chunann was only a few steps away from the couch. Hearing his matter-of-fact request, Qi Yang couldn't help but frown, rarely seeing such a lazy tasker. Despite thinking this, Qi Yang moved quickly, zipping up the bag and handing it to Ling Chunann.

Ling Chunann opened a small inner pocket of the bag and pulled out a delicate little box, handing it to Qi Yang, "This is from Teacher Han, he asked me to give it to you."

Qi Yang opened it to find his spirit-binding device, which looked no different from before. "133, check."

"Yes, host," a cold mechanical voice responded. "The negative energy in the spirit-binding device has been removed, its function is unaffected and can be used normally."

"How was it destroyed?" Ling Chunann asked enthusiastically, looking at the jade carving in the box.

Qi Yang couldn't tell Ling Chunann that he had just been bluffing him to get the item from Han Fenglian; if he had known it was with Ling Chunann all along, he wouldn't have said those things.

But having experienced countless worlds, Qi Yang kept a straight face regardless of his thoughts, his expression calm as he closed the box, "This involves the stability of a world. Destroying it requires many steps and might take some time. Let's plan to do it in a few days when I return, and I'll make sure to notify you to come and watch."

"Alright," Ling Chunann nodded. "Where are Chen Yue and the others?"

"They're in room 3311, probably asleep by now, don't worry," Qi Yang said.

"Host, you just handed it over to him, what if he suddenly attacks you?" 098 worried, mindful that Qi Yang still had a tasker inside him.

"Don't worry," Ling Chunann reassured 098.

Burning bridges was indeed common among taskers. Since Qi Yang had taken the box, 098 became even more vigilant, fearing he might suddenly lash out, either shooting his host or throwing the spirit-binding device directly at him. It couldn't understand why an adult would give such a dangerous item back to a tasker. 098's suspicion turned out to be completely correct; although Qi Yang bore no killing intent, it noticed his subtle movements.

He's about to make a move!

Just then, Ling Chunann suddenly stood up, Qi Yang paused momentarily, confused, "Where are you going this late?"

Ling Chunann pulled a jacket out of the bag and put it on, "I'm going to check on them, and I'm a bit hungry, thinking of grabbing some late-night food. Do you want to join?"

"No thanks, you go ahead," Qi Yang replied.

"You must be hungry too, I'll bring back some food for you," Ling Chunann left a trace of his consciousness in the room and then left. He paused at the door next door, listening for a moment, and heard two calm, shallow breaths, clearly the girls were asleep.

"Host, what are you doing out here?" 098 asked.

"Giving him some personal space," Ling Chunann answered, not pausing as he headed toward the elevator.

It was already half past eleven at night, and Ling Chunann walked straight out of the hotel.

Crouching at the hotel entrance smoking, a few delinquents spotted him instantly, "Liu Zi, look, a beauty!"

Pushed and stumbling, Liu Zi choked on his smoke, about to curse when his eyes suddenly widened, "Damn, really is a beauty, but why does he look like a man?"

The others finally saw the approaching person clearly, swallowing their saliva, "Truly he's a man, if it were a woman, heh heh..."

Another delinquent wiped his drool, pushing a blond delinquent blocking his view aside, and spoke righteously, "I say, cut out these fantasies, let's stay alert, don't forget what the boss said before he left, we're here to watch over the sister-in-law, what are you doing checking out a man?"

The blond delinquent slapped his head, "Spare me! You tone down your lovestruck face before you speak."

Ling Chunann passed by the delinquents expressionlessly.

"Host, these are He Feng's underlings, they were sent to guard his wife," 098 said, its tone strange when it mentioned "wife."

Based on He

 Feng's previous behavior, it was easy to deduce that the person he was interested in was one of those in their car, but 098 clearly remembered the two girls in the back seat were sleeping in awkward positions, unattractively, and with the windows closed, He Feng couldn't have seen them. So the person he was interested in was either the male lead or Ling Chunann who was pretending to be unconscious in the front seat.

At that time, Qi Yang was outside the car, and had looked at He Feng for a while, He Feng noticed the treasure on him but showed no other interest, so undoubtedly, the small boss was interested in Ling Chunann.

098 wondered what the adult would think knowing that the host was eyed by another man as soon as he stepped out, wanting to chase him back to be his wife. But in the original story, He Feng was a staunch straight man; had he suddenly changed? From the side, the host's looks could indeed be mistaken for a girl's. 098's thoughts ran wild.

Not long after Ling Chunann left, a dark figure appeared in front of him, "Your Majesty."

Earlier, Ling Chunann's message crane had been sent to Ji Guang, "Did you bring the items?"

"Your Majesty, the items were detained by several elders, they wish to meet you," Ji Guang bowed his head, "This subordinate has failed, please punish me."

"I understand, you may leave now," Ling Chunann waved his hand, "In half a month, have them come to the North City to see me."

Ji Guang suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling, then realizing his abruptness, bowed his head again, his voice unable to hide his excitement, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will notify them immediately!"

"Host, are you finally going to subjugate the zombies?" 098 was also excited. If in the original story Cangyu had subjugated the zombies early, he might have unified the world long ago, the family of celestial masters wouldn't stand a chance against those ancient zombies, how could they possibly end up suppressed by the male lead in the end?

"They've been too unruly lately, not dealing with them will bring me trouble," Ling Chunann had Ji Guang retrieve the Zombie King Command, it being detained was within his expectations.

The resurgence of the Zombie King wasn't a secret, Ling Chunann was not well-known among the zombies, but still recognized by many. Three months later was the Celestial Masters' Conference, in the original story, Cangyu was exposed by a few zombies then, and was attacked by numerous celestial masters. Although he didn't die, he lost a layer of skin, and despite avenging Xia Lingyan, he was eventually killed by the male lead.

Ling Chunann, not one to seek trouble but also not one to avoid it, saw subjugating the zombies as inevitable.

After Ji Guang left, Ling Chunann found a barbecue restaurant and bought three portions of late-night food, just as the clock tower in the distance struck twelve, "It's about time."

"Congratulations host, for slaying a tasker. Rewards will be calculated after returning to the task space," the system notification sounded.

After the broadcast, 098 was still a bit dazed, "Host, how did you do it?"

Ling Chunann held the late-night food in one hand, a mysterious smile on his face, "Secret."

"Was it that spirit-binding device?" 098 suddenly remembered what Ling Chunann had said about killing a tasker when he pulled out the spirit-binding device, and woke up with a start, "Did the lord tamper with that device? Host, did you know all along?"

Ling Chunann simply smiled, not answering.

098, feeling a bit down, thought, if he didn't know, why would the host deliberately give him private space?

Too preoccupied with its thoughts, 098 didn't notice the deep thought crossing Ling Chunann's eyes as he passed the shivering delinquents again and entered the hotel.

Just as he went upstairs, Ling Chunann saw a tall figure standing dazedly in front of room 3310; he seemed a bit nervous and didn't notice Ling Chunann. After a glance, Ling Chunann knocked on door 3311.

Ten seconds later, the door opened. Chen Yue was startled when she saw Ling Chunann, then recognized him, "Cangyu? You look really good without glasses." Then she immediately noticed the late-night food in his hand, her eyes lighting up, "Cangyu! You're so great! How did you know we were hungry?"

"You didn't eat much for lunch or dinner," Ling Chunann said as he entered, "Is Xia Lingyan awake?"

"She's awake," Chen Yue closed the door and followed behind Ling Chunann, "I don't know how she slept, she got a big bump on her head, she's in the restroom rubbing it now

."

"Probably just bumped it by accident," Ling Chunann replied indifferently, without a trace of guilt as the instigator, "I've put the late-night food on the table, eat up and rest early."

"Aren't you going to eat with us?" Chen Yue held back.

"I already ate before coming up," Ling Chunann sensed the negative energy and the unconscious male lead in the neighboring room, his lips curving slightly, "You call Xia Lingyan out to eat, Qi Yang should be asleep, we can chat more."

"Sure!" Chen Yue was very happy to spend more time with Ling Chunann, she shyly glanced at Ling Chunann's handsome face, "I'll go call Yanyan."

Half an hour later, Ling Chunann leisurely left room 3311, just as He Feng was controlling a ghost to open the door of room 3310.

Ling Chunann stood behind He Feng, "What are you doing?"

He Feng turned around abruptly, startled upon seeing Ling Chunann, "Wife? How did you turn into a man?"
