Chapter 200: The Fox Spirit (13)
If Wen Wan knew that her secret had been exposed again, and that Gu Xuefeng, the righteous and upright male protagonist, was actually looking for a demon core for her instead of killing her, she would probably cry on the spot.
What incredibly touching protagonists these are! Each one is more kind-hearted than the last.
After a while, Wen Wan suddenly realized that Gu Xuefeng was being overly kind to her, feeding her high-grade spirit stones every day and giving her a lot of pills. Wen Wan couldn't tell the quality of the pills, but seeing Gu Xuefeng feeding her like candy without any regard for the price, she figured they weren't top-grade pills and were probably just ordinary snacks, so she ate them without a care in the world.
The system was recalled by the Library Administration Bureau during this period, so it doesn't know what its host eats every day. If it did, it would definitely start worrying about the male lead again, since its host can still steal the male lead even after turning into an animal.
After a while, Wen Wan's fear of Yao Ye gradually dissipated, and she slowly returned to her previous life, spending her days acting cute and charming to solidify her status as the most beloved member of the Snow Sect, living a carefree and leisurely life.
However, when she suddenly saw Yao Ye, Wen Wan instinctively ran away. After all, the system was not around. Although she usually complained about the system, she had to admit that the system was her source of confidence and gave her a lot of security in this unfamiliar world.
Now, facing Yao Ye, a being who could kill her, Wen Wan felt extreme fear. However, how could Yao Ye let her leave so easily? He easily grabbed her, his eyes smiling, but not as cold as he looked at her, "Why are you running? Afraid I'll eat you?"
Wen Wan: "..." What else? Don't you know what you're thinking?
"Have you been avoiding me all this time? You really don't want to listen to me or do anything for me?"
Wen Wan didn't want to speak, but her attitude was clear. However, when Yao Yeqian was on her neck and her life was threatened, Wen Wan still trembled subconsciously, her eyes filled with fear.
"Let me go. If you kill me, I will haunt you even as a ghost."
Although it's unknown whether she'll have the chance to become a ghost.
Just as she felt she was about to suffocate, Yao Ye released her grip, and Wen Wan's tears streamed down her face. "Will you listen to me? If you listen, I won't hurt you."
"I don't believe it."
"Do you need a demon core?" Yao Ye changed the subject so quickly that Wen Wan didn't even have time to react. A red sphere quickly appeared in Yao Ye's other hand, with red filaments flowing inside. It looked quite beautiful. So this was a demon core?
"This is the demon core of a thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox. If an ordinary demon were to obtain it, it could instantly increase its cultivation by a thousand years."
Wen Wan: "..." Holy crap, how could she even see such a treasure?
"If you do something for me, I'll give it to you."
Wen Wan looked at Yao Ye suspiciously. This person must have ill intentions and was definitely trying to make her do something heinous.
What do you want me to do?
"Help me kill Gu Xuefeng."
Wen Yan: "!!!"
Yao Ye continued, "You are now the closest person to Gu Xuefeng. He might be wary of anyone, but he certainly isn't wary of you. That's why I want you to kill him."
"Are you crazy? You want me to kill the male lead? Then you might as well kill me." Wen Wan completely gave up struggling. Yao Ye tightened his grip on Wen Wan's throat. Wen Wan felt an extreme pain of suffocation, and even began to hallucinate. She originally thought this was the second time she had faced the threat of death, the last time being struck by lightning. However, she suddenly realized that this was probably not the second time.
She was too lazy to struggle anymore, and as her breath grew fainter, Yao Ye suddenly let go. Wen Wan couldn't help but cough, tears streaming down her face. Yao Ye was somewhat surprised, "You're willing to die for Gu Xuefeng? Is he that important to you, little fox?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Of course it's important. Putting aside the fact that Gu Xuefeng is her mission target, even because of the favors she has received in the past, Wen Wan wouldn't allow herself to hurt him.
"Alright, since you're unwilling, I won't force you."
Wen Wan looked at Yao Ye: You're really that kind? Aren't you supposed to be relentless in achieving your goals? Aren't you supposed to be a paranoid character?
Yao Ye ruffled Wen Wan's hair. "You helped me get close to Lin Qingshui, but you didn't help me kill anyone. You're not going to refuse to help me either, are you?"
Wen Wan shook her head.
"Could it be that Lin Qingshui is also important to you? I would never hurt her, I just want to get to know her."
Wen Wan shook her head firmly. She's the female lead, and a really good person at that. You, a mysterious and obsessive male supporting character, want to compete with Gu Xuefeng for the female lead? You're not even as good as Shen Qianyuan. Give up.
Yao Ye's face turned cold. "So you still want to die?"
Wen Wan feigned a calm acceptance of death, but she was merely gambling that Yao Ye wouldn't kill her. More importantly, if Yao Ye really wanted to kill her, she could simply use her cheat code. Gu Xuefeng had already said that her bell contained something capable of withstanding an attack from a Nascent Soul stage expert. She could just use it then and kill Yao Ye. Did he really think she was a stupid fox?
Yao Ye laughed, "You little thing are quite interesting. You're willing to die for two humans. You're really not like a demon. Fine, I won't force you. I do like you quite a bit. I'll make you come and keep me company every day. When I'm in a good mood, I'll give you the demon core."
Wen Yan: "..."
Do you like her? Does it mean you like someone who chokes her and tries to kill her every time?
This Yao Ye's personality is truly unpredictable, and she comes to see him every day. Has he gone mad? This is far too dangerous.
However, the next second, Yao Ye stuffed something into her mouth. Before she could spit it out, she was forced to swallow it. "This poison will cause you excruciating pain every night. If you want to be well, then come to me every day for the antidote."
Wen Yan: "..."
"You bastard."
Are you insulting me?
Wen Wan glared at him angrily. Wasn't it obvious? She wanted nothing more than to curse Yao Ye, that bastard, to death. What kind of twisted pleasure did he have in threatening a fox? Did he get some special sense of accomplishment from it?
After playing with the fox until late at night, Yao Ye released Wen Wan back to her palace. Wen Wan returned to Qianxue Palace dejectedly, listless and weak all day. Gu Xuefeng glanced at her several times out of the corner of his eye, and finally took the fox into his arms.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was just ambushed by an idiot."
Gu Xuefeng frowned. He reached out and examined the fox's entire body, then discovered very obvious purplish-blue bruises under the white fur on the fox's neck, clearly from being pinched. "Who did this?" Gu Xuefeng was very unhappy. He wouldn't allow anyone to covet his things.
