The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 48 (Patreon)

Chapter 48

The massive dragon reluctantly placed Ling Chunann on the ground, then flashed him a pleasing smile.

Ling Chunann rubbed his slightly sore waist. "I've decided to abstain for a week. Continuing like this will only lead to kidney deficiency."

098 nodded in agreement, hands raised.

Unbeknownst to him, the dragon, forced to abstain for a week, still tried to please Ling Chunann, afraid his cherished one would get upset.

Several students stared in disbelief as the towering man, who had been icy cold all along, almost covered in frost, instantly changed his demeanor after the third prince woke up. It felt like the whole world was askew.

Coincidentally, Ling Chunann hadn't planned to meet the male lead so soon. But as soon as they exited the forest and reached the first town, they crossed paths.

Considering his entry wasn't as grandiose as he had hoped, Ling Chunann pondered how to attract attention when Bru Nant spoke up, "Third Prince, it's Princess Karu Lan and her group!"

This instantly diverted the attention of the male lead's party, who were about to turn a corner.

"This godly teammate," Ling Chunann raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of satisfaction at the shocked expressions on the faces of the male lead and the beautiful girl beside him.

The male lead's name was Rod. He had this name even before he crossed over and stuck with it afterward. A few words summarized him: arrogant, fickle, egotistical, and conceited. In short, a typical playboy.

Apart from Ling Chunann's body, there were two women beside the male lead, a pair of sisters. To Ling Chunann, their appearance wasn't flawless, but compared to the male lead who was a total loser before crossing over, they were considered beautiful.

As for Karu Lan, the empire's princess, she bore a resemblance to Ling Chunann's current appearance, making her quite attractive. But Ling Chunann doubted her intelligence. The male lead lacked grace and wasn't particularly handsome. What did a princess like her see in him? She even got her own brother killed.

Even 098 found it incomprehensible, staring at the seemingly delicate sisters. Where had the male lead's aesthetics gone? Even Karu Lan wasn't as good-looking as Ling Chunann's current appearance. The male lead's taste was simply unfathomable.

Rod's face was filled with astonishment. He glanced at Ling Chunann and then at Karu Lan, his eyes filled with doubt.

Karu Lan, on the other hand, displayed a mix of emotions—shock, guilt, panic, all swirling in her eyes, which turned red.

Eventually, Rod reacted first. He greeted Ling Chunann casually, "Third Prince, long time no see." There was a hint of disdain in his tone. "We haven't seen each other since I defeated you last time, have we?"

"It has been a while," Ling Chunann glanced at Karu Lan, who had retreated behind, then nodded at the male lead. "Thanks to you, I've gained a lot from recent experiences."

"Heh," Rod's eyes flashed with malice, but his tone remained unchanged. "We should spar again next time we get the chance."

"Sure, let's aim for the academy competition three months from now," Ling Chunann graciously agreed.

Even as they bid farewell, Karu Lan didn't say a word to Ling Chunann. Her face pale, she followed the male lead silently.

"Can I assume that this sister still has a conscience?" Ling Chunann remarked to 098.

"She's not part of the mission objectives; the host can act freely," 098 replied.

Bru Nant stood with a few students behind, listening to their hushed conversations.

"Why does it feel like there's something odd between the Third Prince and the little princess?" │This work is uploaded by Si Tu online reading website users.

"The moment the Third Prince looked at the little princess, she immediately turned away, as if she had done something guilty."

"I suspect there's more to the Third Prince's recent adventures. Senior Rod's attitude toward the Third Prince just now was completely disrespectful, downright outrageous."

"Alright, let's stop talking about it," Bru Nant intervened, halting the increasingly heated discussion.

However, regardless, these students had completely sided with Ling Chunann.

During Ling Chunann's conversation with Rod earlier, the dragon had almost erupted a few times but was held back by Ling Chunann. Still sulking, it turned to him. "If you don't listen, go back to the valley by yourself."

After spending some time together, Ling Chunann had come to realize that despite being much older than anyone he had encountered before, the dragon behaved like a child, completely unruly and uncontrollable without discipline.

The dragon, who had been bristling just now, wilted instantly at Ling Chunann's words, smiling up at him sheepishly. "I'm sorry, darling. I'll listen to you, alright? Don't chase me away."

Ling Chunann rolled his eyes at it and then headed towards the inn in the town center, with the dragon trotting behind.

Onlookers felt like they had seen enough.

It wasn't until the two figures had walked quite a distance that Bru Nant snapped out of it, cleared his throat, and addressed the others, "What are you all staring at? Can't you see the Third Prince has walked so far already?"

Karu Lan followed Rod back to the inn, not speaking to him and seemingly oblivious to the male lead's fluctuating gaze, silently retreating to her room.

She had no idea how things had come to this point. Since childhood, she had been closest to the Third Prince. She still remembered calling out to her big brother incessantly when she was little. Royal affection might be scarce, but it had never been absent between them, as if not long ago, the queen had mocked her for being her brother's shadow.

But she had personally delivered her seriously injured brother into the hands of those vile kidnappers. What had she been thinking at that time?

Oh right, she remembered thinking, as long as he died, no one would stop her from being with her beloved.

How ridiculous.

Karu Lan couldn't help but laugh at herself, covering her face. She was laughing at her own folly.

What kind of lover could be confessing affection to you while simultaneously sleeping with two other women? But incredibly, she had been oblivious during that time, completely unaware, until just now when she suddenly realized how foolish she had been.

She took a deep breath. She needed to apologize, but as she stood up, she suddenly lost her courage. What right did she have to stand before him now?

"Revenge points +10%, current revenge points 20%, please continue your efforts, Host."

"It seems my dear sister has come to her senses," Ling Chunann said to 098.

In the original plot, Karu Lan acted like a complete idiot until just before the third prince died. After a long period of ignorance, she finally became smart. By then, the male lead had become the king of the Lante Empire. Though a bit late, he still had some brains. With the sudden appearance of Ling Chunann, coupled with her dissatisfaction with the male lead's philandering ways, it was relatively easy to deal with her.

"What are you thinking, darling?" the neglected dragon approached.

Ling Chunann, who had already decided to abstain, pushed it away. "I'm not hungry."

"But I am..." It sounded so pitiful.

"Find something to eat yourself."

Seeing that his darling didn't budge, the dragon sat beside him, refusing to leave, casting pitiful glances at Ling Chunann from time to time.

Unmoved, Ling Chunann continued to ponder his revenge plan.

The notion of stripping the male lead of everything was too abstract. Women, property, power, everything was included.

Currently, the male lead was accompanied by three women—the rescued sisters and Karu Lan. Karu Lan was basically resolved now. As long as the other women didn't get involved with the male lead, dealing with them was relatively simple. The sisters were loyal to him, and since they had already slept together, it seemed a bit difficult to deal with them according to the original plot. He would need to plan differently.

As for property, the male lead's ultimate wealth was the Lante Empire, and Karu Lan deserved credit for it. Controlling a girl like her, who had previously lacked intelligence, seemed easy for the male lead. However, now that Karu Lan had become smarter and with Bru Nant also under Ling Chunann's influence, it was practically impossible for the male lead to obtain the Lante Empire. Ling Chunann had no intention of taking the throne, but the elder brother seemed suitable.

Dealing with power was easier. The male lead practiced both magic and martial arts. In the original plot, he smoothly advanced to a high level. But now, with Ling Chunann four levels above him, he could easily defeat him. Martial artists were most afraid of inner demons, a principle applicable in both the magical and martial world.

After quickly devising his plan, Ling Chunann finally noticed the dragon beside him. Had he forgotten to include it in his plan?

Realizing that Ling Chunann's attention had finally returned to him, the dragon, who had been sitting eagerly for a long time, grinned and pounced towards him, only to be kicked away with a foot.

"I got you an extra room just now. Go sleep over there."

"Darling, darling?" Despite his pretense of being wronged, the dragon crawled up and snuggled close to Ling Chunann, careful not to touch him, and pleaded, "I promise I won't do anything! Let me sleep with you."

098 reminded, "Host, don't trust him!"

Naturally, Ling Chunann knew what this guy was up to. It wasn't that he didn't believe in his character; it was just his racial traits that made it impossible for him to trust. But as he was about to refuse, he saw the sincere eyes of the dragon and swallowed his words. "I'll trust you this one last time."

"Okay." The dragon joyfully hugged Ling Chunann. "You're the best, darling."

Ling Chunann stared at the man's towering part, then grabbed his arm and bit down hard.

The host is mighty.

Although he had seen it many times, 098 was still amazed by the sharpness of his host's teeth. He could actually bite through dragon skin!

Just then, there was a knock on the door of their room.
