The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 15 (Patreon)

Chapter 15

Tong Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious as she searched all over Ling Chunan's chest but couldn't find the jade pendant.

"It's impossible! I clearly remember it was hanging in front of his chest in his past life. Could it be somewhere else?" She muttered to herself while her hand continued moving downward.

"Although I've been touched everywhere, I've never been touched by a woman before," Ling Chunan complained. "Her strength is anything but comfortable."

Encouraged by 098, he suggested, "You could get up and give her a beating."

"No, I'll wait for the male lead to come and save the day," Ling Chunan's tone carried some resentment. "How come he's not here yet? I passed by his tent when he was clearly awake, and I heard footsteps just now. Hasn't he seen the true face of the female lead after all this time?"

Soon, Ling Chunan discovered that his clothes had been peeled open. "She's going too far!"

Seeing a figure approaching, 098 sneered, "Good luck to you."

Qin Haoyuan couldn't quite understand what he felt for Ling Chunan. From initial anger to guilt, and later, a complex mix of emotions, now he didn't know what he was thinking. It seemed like countless psychological journeys, but also like a joke.

When he noticed Tong Xiaoxiao attacking Ling Chunan, he didn't rush out immediately. However, when he saw Tong Xiaoxiao starting to undress Ling Chunan, it was already too late when he decided to intervene.

Someone had beaten him to it.

Zeng Wuyue, with a stern face and without using any superpowers, slapped Tong Xiaoxiao away.

The delicate female lead didn't even scream. She collided with a nearby rock and fainted, and that rock happened to be where Qin Haoyuan was hiding.

Meeting Zeng Wuyue's cold eyes, Qin Haoyuan couldn't help shivering. The slight affection he had developed for Ling Chunan mostly dissipated. He looked at Tong Xiaoxiao on the ground and went to pick her up.

Just as Ling Chunan, who was being touched all over, was about to wonder, the hands of a woman suddenly disappeared. Before he could be surprised, he was embraced by a familiar aura.

"098! Why didn't you tell me Uncle was here?" Ling Chunan accused internally, not because he was afraid of Zeng Wuyue, but this person was not only a jealous jar but also a kidney treasure. It was really overwhelming!

"System in standby mode," 098's voice remained steady, but Ling Chunan detected a hint of schadenfreude.

"Darling, I thought you were acting cold towards me today, turns out you wanted a secret rendezvous with another girl at night," Zeng Wuyue's voice sounded in Ling Chunan's ear. Ling Chunan couldn't help but shiver, opened his eyes, hugged Zeng Wuyue's neck, kissed his face, and revealed a pleasing smile. "I just felt like she was constantly staring at me, as if she had ulterior motives. I wanted to test her a bit, there's really nothing between us."

"Nothing? Are you letting her push you to the ground and do whatever she wants?" Zeng Wuyue's gaze darkened.

"She's the one who knocked me out!" Ling Chunan pulled his collar pitifully. "She hit me so hard, look, it must be bruised."

Indeed, a large bruise had formed. Zeng Wuyue gently touched the bruised skin. "Don't let this happen again next time."

Thinking he had escaped a disaster, Ling Chunan nodded repeatedly, only to be pressed onto the grass behind him the next moment. "Hmm... I'm really suffocating!"

The next morning, when Ling Chunan, who had been carried back to the tent by Zeng Wuyue, woke up, he looked lifeless, utterly despondent.

Zeng Wuyue placed him on the bed, "Darling, don't be angry, it's my fault. Are you hungry?" He extended his arm.

Ling Chunan glanced at Zeng Wuyue, turned his head away, ignoring him. In his heart, he sighed countless times, "Ah."

098 consoled, "Host, please don't be disheartened. Your counterattack value increased by 5% last night."

Ling Chunan: "Sigh, you're just a system, you don't understand."

"But you wet your pants, nothing to be ashamed of."

"... "

The openness of this system made Ling Chunan a bit scared. He distinctly remembered that when they first started working together, 098 was a shy system. How did it change so quickly? "098, did your program get updated?"

"Yes, it was updated not long ago," 098 answered in a composed manner. "To better serve the host, various functions were unlocked."

"Does that include... content unsuitable for children?"

"No, it doesn't," 098 stated.

"Hehe." Ling Chunan coldly chuckled and continued to sigh.

The next morning, the subordinates who woke up early noticed that the previously somewhat rebellious Fifth Young Master had become extremely submissive to Lord Zeng, both in words and actions. On the other hand, Ling Chunan, who used to stick to Zeng Wuyue, was unusually cold and indifferent, not responding to him.

The confused subordinates, after observing for a morning, were finally enlightened by a sentence from Yuan Wu, the head butler. Surely, something happened that upset Young Master Ling.

For a while, the subordinates started gossiping quietly.

"I didn't expect Fifth Master to be such a henpecked husband," a man with a big beard said while opening a pack of pickles and pouring half into his porridge.

"Hush, keep it down." Someone grabbed the other half of pickles from his hand, glanced at Fifth Young Master, who was trying to feed Ling Chunan, and said, "Don't say that. If my future wife is as handsome and capable as Young Master Ling, I'd be willing to be a henpecked husband too."

"Oh, come on, look at yourself." The tall guy next to him interjected, then snatched a chopstick of pickles from the talker's bowl, leading to a quarrel between the two.

Ling Chunan pushed away the spoon in Zeng Wuyue's hand and headed towards the car. "098, why haven't we seen the male and female leads?"

"The female lead was severely injured by Zeng Wuyue yesterday. Even with healing abilities, she'll probably need some time to recover. The male lead seems to be devastated; he just broke up with the female lead who just woke up," 098 explained. "Host, Zeng Wuyue is catching up."

"I know." Ling Chunan opened the car door and got in. The female lead was lifted into the car; no one knew why she suddenly got so seriously injured. Still, Zeng Wuyue didn't abandon her. Everyone allowed her to sit in the same car, and whether the bumpy ride would worsen her condition was not within their consideration.

After a satisfying meal, Ling Chunan forgave Zeng Wuyue. He had decided that besides Zeng Wuyue and 098, no one else knew about last night's events. They wouldn't talk about it, and besides, nothing was more important than food, especially when it was Zeng Wuyue's delicious cooking.

However, Yuan Wu, who got on the car midway, was shocked by the smell of blood in the vehicle. Particularly, when he saw Zeng Wuyue covered in blood and Ling Chunan with a hint of red at his mouth, he was dumbfounded. "Ling, Ling Shao? Fifth Master?"

"It's okay. Just pretend you didn't see anything," Zeng Wuyue wiped the corner of Ling Chunan's mouth with his hand, and his cold eyes glanced at Yuan Wu. "Understand?"

"Yes, yes." Yuan Wu watched as Ling Chunan smiled at him, replied with a stiff smile, then tremblingly turned the car key several times before finally igniting it.

He finally understood why every time Su Hu, the bodyguard guy, heard him say that Young Master Ling and Fifth Master locked him out of the car, he made such a strange expression.

Turns out, besides doing that, it could also be... eating.

As an old man who came with Zeng Wuyue, Yuan Wu naturally knew that Zeng Wuyue had a unique physique and healed very quickly. But how could he consider himself as food!

Looking back at his own boss, who was now looking gentle, Yuan Wu swallowed the admonishment he was about to say.

After stopping the car, Yuan Wu immediately went to find Su Hu, the bodyguard guy. "Su Hu, did you already know about Young Master Ling and Fifth Master?"

"What?" Su Hu looked puzzled. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head, "Brother Wu, do you know something?"

"Has Young Master Ling been infected with the zombie virus?" Yuan Wu was somewhat nervous.

Su Hu suddenly relaxed a bit, "No, how could that be? Young Master Ling is perfectly fine." He paused and lowered his voice, "The first time I saw Young Master Ling, um, biting Fifth Master was before the apocalypse. There was no zombie virus at that time."

"What's going on then?" How could someone enjoy biting others?

Su Hu approached Yuan Wu, mysterious and secretive, "I think Young Master Ling," he pointed to his own head, "might have a little issue." Fifth Master probably had some issues too.

Eavesdropping 098 promptly reported the conversation to Ling Chunan, "Host, the bodyguard guy says you have an issue."

Ling Chunan raised an eyebrow and coldly replied, "Oh."

In the end, Yuan Wu decided to ignore this matter. As for Zeng Wuyue being willing to let Ling Chunan bite... as long as it made Fifth Master happy.

Half a month later, the convoy peacefully arrived outside Jingcheng.
