The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 337 (Patreon)

Chapter 337: Extra Story 2

The visitor had a natural baby face that belied his age; even with a stern expression, he didn’t seem serious. As Ling Chunann got out of the car, he paused, looking at the man's face. "Sorry if I scared you."

Upon seeing Ling Chunann, Baby Face’s eyes lit up, staring at him for several seconds before coming to his senses. His ears turned a bit red, but his voice was haughty, "Forget it. Considering your sincere apology, I’ll forgive you."

Ling Chunann nodded, then prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Baby Face called out to Ling Chunann again.

Ling Chunann turned around. "What is it?"

Baby Face took a few steps to catch up. "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

Ling Chunann thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe I just have a common face. Sorry, you’re blocking my way now, please step aside."

"You might be misunderstanding the term ‘common face’." Wang Haoyang kept looking at Ling Chunann, feeling more familiar by the second. "My name is Wang Haoyang. What’s yours? Are you here for something? My family has been geomancers for generations, and whether it’s exorcising spirits or reading Feng Shui, we’re the ones to call."

"Can you catch monsters?" Ling Chunann suddenly asked.

Seeing Ling Chunann stop, Wang Haoyang couldn’t help but feel a bit thrilled, lifting his chin slightly with a smug expression. "Of course, you’ve asked the right person. In the entire world of Feng Shui, there’s no trouble that our Wang family can’t handle."

"Host, the original text indeed mentioned the geomantic Wang family, but they were later wiped out by the female protagonist who had absorbed spiritual energy and grown stronger," 098 timely provided the information.

Ling Chunann didn’t respond to 098, but he sized up the rather proud Wang Haoyang. "Good, I encountered a monster at my house yesterday. You can go and capture her. We can negotiate the reward."

"Ah?" Wang Haoyang opened his mouth in surprise. A real monster? Was this a setup? But seeing Ling Chunann’s serious demeanor, he became a bit more solemn. "Where is it?"

"My house," Ling Chunann replied. "Interested in taking a look?"

"Of course, vanquishing demons is the duty of every righteous person." Wang Haoyang thumped his chest proudly. "Don’t worry, beauty, I’ll protect you and capture the monster."

"Alright, get in the car then," Ling Chunann returned to his vehicle.

Looking at Baby Face's puzzled expression in the passenger seat, 098 couldn’t help but worry, "Host, he looks unreliable. Can he really defeat the female protagonist?" And hadn’t the host just mentioned getting a talisman for protection? Now he was abducting people?

"The female protagonist has a thousand years of Dao cultivation; he’s definitely no match," Ling Chunann buckled his seatbelt and stepped on the gas, and the car suddenly sped off.

"Ah, ah, ah! Brother, slow down!" Wang Haoyang screamed, grabbing the seatbelt. "Don’t you feel like the car is flying?"

"You’re just scared witless," Ling Chunann seriously said as he focused on the road.

Ten minutes later, the sports car stopped outside the Tan family villa, and Ling Chunann honked the horn. The gates opened. "Second Young Master, you’re back."

He nodded at the security guard and restarted the car to drive in.

The guard was flattered, as the Second Young Master had never greeted them before.

"You… Isn’t this the Tan family mansion? They called you Second Young Master, are you from the Tan family?" Wang Haoyang couldn’t hide his astonishment.

"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Tan Anyue," Ling Chunann said, then stepped on the brakes. "Time to get out."

"Tan, Tan Anyue? You’re Tan Anyue?" Wang Haoyang's mouth hung open. "I knew you looked familiar. I've seen you on TV before. Honestly, brother, your acting is pretty mediocre, ahem, sorry, I sometimes speak without thinking. And you’re the Tan family’s Second Young Master, how are you so down on your luck in the circle? Also, I remember Tan Anyue isn’t of age yet... you were driving without a license just now! My god, I can’t believe I’m still alive!"

Ling Chunann: "…"

If the original owner were here, he probably would have punched him in the head, but Ling Chunann, more good-natured, just gave him a look, "Get out."

Wang Haoyang realized he had misspoken and shut up quickly, but after a moment he asked, "Where

’s the monster?"

"Come with me."

At that moment, Su Manqing was in the living room, cracking seeds and watching TV. Seeing Ling Chunann enter, her expression briefly showed surprise before she quickly put on a smiling face. "Xiao Yue, you’re back. Have you had lunch? Is this your friend?"

Ling Chunann ignored her greeting. Seeing that Tan Ancheng wasn't there, he pulled Wang Haoyang by the sleeve and headed upstairs.

As the two disappeared up the staircase, Su Manqing's expression twisted slightly, her eyes dark and unclear.

"Who was that beauty just now?" Wang Haoyang asked as he looked at Ling Chunann sitting on the bed.

It had to be said that Su Manqing was very beautiful. Although not quite as stunning as the fox spirit shell that Ling Chunann once inhabited, she could definitely live off her looks in this world.

"That’s the monster," Ling Chunann glanced at Wang Haoyang. "You didn’t notice? I’m starting to doubt your abilities."

"What? But I didn’t sense any demonic aura from her..." Wang Haoyang’s face reddened slightly; he apparently had never encountered a monster before and naturally didn’t know what demonic aura looked like, although he did feel something was off when he first arrived.

"I saw her with a large fox tail yesterday, was about to call my brother but got targeted by an assassin, barely escaped. I suspect the assassin has something to do with her. My brother is completely bewitched by her, he definitely won’t believe me, so I thought of going to the Feng Shui market to buy some talismans to ward off evil," Ling Chunann said seriously. "Too bad I lost my phone yesterday while escaping, or I would have recorded a video."

Listening to Ling Chunann, Wang Haoyang’s baby face grew more serious. "From what you’re saying, she must be a powerful demon. My current strength might not be enough to deal with her. No, I need to call for help." Saying this, he picked up his phone and began dialing.

"Host, are you really planning to have someone come and take care of the female protagonist?" 098 was unsure of what Ling Chunann was planning.

While this would be the safest course of action, the female protagonist was no ordinary demon. She also had the world's favor, her protagonist halo shining brightly, and in the end, it might just end up benefitting her instead.

"098, do you trust me or the female protagonist?" Ling Chunann asked.

Unsure why Ling Chunann suddenly asked this question, 098 quickly replied, "Of course I trust the host."

Ling Chunann nodded in satisfaction, "Good."

When Ling Chunann first entered this world yesterday, he could clearly sense the world lines of this hidden world, but just as he was leaving today, he noticed that the world lines seemed to have changed. He couldn’t tell exactly how, which was normal for a hidden world, but he distinctly felt that the female protagonist’s halo had weakened.

That’s why he brought back a geomancer who claimed to be able to catch demons. Unfortunately, this guy clearly wasn’t very reliable, definitely no match for the female protagonist.

"Alright, my uncle said he’ll come over later to take a look, I gave him the address," Wang Haoyang said. "By the way, brother, give me your phone number, I’ll send it to my uncle, so he can contact you when he comes."

"I lost my phone."

"Then that’s settled, I’ll accompany you out to buy a phone, then we can exchange numbers," Wang Haoyang patted Ling Chunann on the shoulder, looking like good brothers.

Ling Chunann avoided his touch with clear disdain, but Wang Haoyang still smiled and didn’t mind.

When the two went downstairs, Su Manqing was no longer in the living room. After asking the butler, they learned she had been taken out by Tan Ancheng. According to the plot, today was the day Tan Anyue's body was supposed to be discovered, so Tan Ancheng and Su Manqing hadn’t planned to go out. However, due to Ling Chunann's sudden arrival, Tan Anyue was still very much alive, so they must have gone to sign with Shengming Entertainment. This was the female protagonist’s first step into the entertainment industry.

Returning to the car they had just driven back, before getting in, Wang Haoyang suddenly stopped Ling Chunann. "Brother, how about I drive? I have a license."

Ling Chunann indifferently tossed him the keys. "Central Plaza."

After buying a phone, Ling Chunann and Wang Haoyang exchanged numbers, then Ling Chunann unceremoniously left him behind, planning to go to a barbershop to deal with his blond hair. Suddenly, in the crowd, he spotted a man.

Amidst the bustling street

, the man stood out remarkably, his presence commanding attention like Hades himself, parting the crowd wherever he walked.

"Host, host, surely the big guy didn’t catch up to us so quickly?" 098 stammered, "He seems to be heading our way." 098 instantly recalled the fear of being dominated in the little black room.

"Relax, I don’t sense He Lianfeng’s aura on him, he’s not your big guy." Ling Chunann was much calmer as he soothed his system’s jitters, and finally smiled at the man in the crowd before turning to leave unhurriedly.

Seeing that the man didn’t follow, 098 finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it had been the big guy, the host would probably have been captured by now. Once reassured, 098 didn’t notice the hint of suspicion in Ling Chunann’s eyes.

After several hours, Ling Chunann finally managed to transform his explosive blond hair into sleek black locks, and even ordered a few custom suits. Then he called Tan Ancheng directly to state his demands. "Brother, I want to change agents."

The voice on the other end was impatient. "Nonsense, agents aren’t so easily changed. Your current agent is a well-known veteran in the industry with a wealth of resources. If you switch, who will get you scripts with your current fame?"

Clearly, his brother wasn’t fond of him, but Ling Chunann wasn’t surprised. Languidly leaning against the car, he replied, "Don’t worry about the scripts, just know that I want to change agents. I’ve already talked to He Deyuan, and he has agreed to the change." With that, Ling Chunann hung up the phone.

With his new hairstyle, Ling Chunann’s appearance was vastly improved from his previous non-mainstream look, leaning against an obviously expensive luxury sports car, attracting many glances. However, miraculously, no one recognized his identity.

Just as Ling Chunann was about to get into the car, a voice called out to him. "I heard you want to change agents. How about me?"

The man had a rugged and handsome look, his lips slightly pursed showing a bit of coolness, but his voice was magnetic and his demeanor courteous, his gaze at Ling Chunann openly admiring.

"Host, another big guy?"

"…"
