"My goodness! Am I seeing things? President Shen is actually defending Young Master Xu."
"Is this really the President Shen I know?"
"I think President Shen is doing the right thing. What's Young Master Xu's status compared to that man's? He wants to hit someone? I think he's out of control!"
"This is all business between big shots. Why should small fries like us get involved? Ridiculous!"
The onlookers suddenly sided with Xu Mo.
The protagonist's halo, which usually dumbs down others, wasn't having much effect here.
You see, when others hit someone, they end up in detention, but when the protagonist does it, nothing happens.
Usually, the crowd would cheer for the protagonist, praise him, and girls would swoon over him.
These are all typical tropes in wish-fulfillment novels.
Xu Mo was bewildered. This situation wasn't right!
"System, these people are sick, aren't they?"
[Ding! Host, you've automatically equipped the anti-dumbing-down halo!]
[People, events, and objects within five meters of you will be less affected by the protagonist's dumbing-down halo]
Of course, Shen Manni couldn't hear his internal dialogue with the system.
Nor could she hear the system's rewards and notifications.
The only thing she could hear was Xu Mo's internal criticism of the plot.
Neither of them was aware of this fact.
"Damn it! System, you can't play like this. Take away my anti-dumbing-down halo right now."
"I don't need these onlookers on my side, speaking up for me."
"Shouldn't they be pointing at me, the big villain, and thinking how cool the protagonist is right now?"
Xu Mo was going crazy.
This wasn't following the script he'd been given!
He had all his lines prepared.
And the scenes were supposed to be limited.
Now these people were ad-libbing, and worse, they were criticizing the protagonist in defense of the villain.
At this moment, Xu Mo desperately wanted to ask them:
Did you guys get the wrong script?
Lin Fan was stunned, looking at Shen Manni with a bewildered expression, "Shen... President Shen, don't you hate him?"
As the War God Dragon King, he had his own pride!
He absolutely wouldn't allow any woman by his side to say a single word in defense of another man!
And now, Shen Manni had directly violated this taboo!
Shen Manni looked at him coldly, "Who I hate is none of your business."
Lin Fan was rendered speechless by these words.
His current identity was just a small security guard in the CBD building, not the internationally renowned War God or the Dragon King of Dragon King Hall!
A barely noticeable flash of cruelty passed through Lin Fan's eyes.
The colder and more aloof Shen Manni acted, the more it awakened the most primal desires within him!
He was determined to completely conquer this woman!
[Hey, hey, you crooked-mouthed Dragon King War God, are you an idiot? Just because Shen Manni is being stupid, you're following suit? She tells you not to hit me, and you actually don't?]
[You're supposed to be the almighty War God, yet you're listening to a woman? And a woman so stupid she's beyond help at that]
[And you, Shen Manni, I've told you before, if you're sick, go get treatment, don't hang around here]
[I don't want you speaking up for me, tell your Dragon King boyfriend to hit me!]
[You're the female lead, you're supposed to be on the protagonist's side, I'm the villain, remember?]
Xu Mo was roaring internally, wanting to rush up and point at Shen Manni's nose, shouting out everything in his heart.
But even without Xu Mo saying it out loud,
Shen Manni, standing nearby, heard his internal rant.
Her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
Her eyes seemed capable of shooting flames!
Even if this was the world inside a book, Xu Mo calling her stupid over and over again,
She'd had enough.
"You're the one who's on the protagonist's side..."
Shen Manni's eyes looked murderous as she couldn't help but shout this sentence out loud!
But in the next moment, she suddenly realized her voice had disappeared.
Her cherry-like lips opened and closed slightly.
To outsiders, it just looked like Shen Manni had smacked her lips.
Nothing special happened after that.
If Shen Manni wasn't too shocked before, it was because she had treated Xu Mo's internal monologue with skepticism.
Because people always need to find a reason to convince themselves.
The world she had lived in for over twenty years was actually a novel world.
If you told anyone this, no one would accept it.
But now, Shen Manni believed it, completely and utterly.
She tried again and found that she still couldn't speak about the plot of the novel.
In other words, these things were only known to her, and she couldn't share this knowledge with others.
Shen Manni was a bit dazed.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan had noticed someone in the crowd pointing a phone at him, and anger rose in his heart as he pointed at that person and said,
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Hmph, you're just a small security guard daring to hit the young master of Xu Corporation. I'm going to make you a trending topic!"
"Yeah! Come on, hit him! What are you scared of? I'm waiting to see the drama unfold!"
Others in the crowd also took out their phones and opened their camera apps.
Lin Fan's brows furrowed slightly, then smoothed out as he quickly understood everything!
He looked at Shen Manni with gratitude!
So when Shen Manni told him not to act just now, it wasn't out of concern for Xu Mo.
She was worried that these people would record a video of him and upload it to the internet!
Seeing this, Xu Mo suddenly drew in a sharp breath.
[Damn! I'll be damned! As expected of the female lead! Such a delicate and vicious mind!]
[Sorry, sorry, I misjudged earlier. Shen Manni, you're still you, still the female lead who's on the same side as the protagonist]
Xu Mo was extremely relieved, thinking he had misjudged the female lead Shen Manni's character.
He never expected that all of this was just his own overthinking.
Seeing the female lead help the male lead, this loving scene,
He felt much more comfortable.
Shen Manni, who was still in a daze, was pulled back to reality by Xu Mo's internal monologue!
She was now furious, angry beyond words!
What did he mean by being on the same side as the protagonist?
If I'm on anyone's side, it's yours!
You're going to be so mad, you bastard!
Shen Manni glared fiercely at Xu Mo, then strode towards the company's main entrance!
She needed to calm down now.
To sort out her thoughts, to accept this impossible reality!
All of this needed time.
And if she continued to stay here with Xu Mo, she felt her lungs might explode from anger!
That would be counterproductive!
Instead of being annoyed to death by Xu Mo's sycophantic behavior, she might end up being angered to death by him.
"Manni, don't go! You haven't agreed to my request yet!"
Xu Mo made a symbolic attempt to stop her.
He once again forced a devoted, puppy-like expression on his face.
But inside, he was overjoyed.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
