Quick Transmigration: Yandere Male Leads? Hand 'Em Over! - Chapter 232

Wei Xinlian didn’t team up with anyone.

Thanks to the retained memories from her last run, she was very familiar with the tomb’s layout. When she started opening coffins, she went straight to a small chamber known for holding gold and jewelry.

But standing before a bloodstained coffin, her legs went weak. She hesitated for over an hour, too scared to lift the lid.

I should’ve teamed up with someone.

Being alone in this creepy place was terrifying!

Especially with the sounds coming from the coffins—ghostly wails, clawing fingernails, crunching bones—it was enough to make her skin crawl.

Back then, she never had to make any decisions.

Ling Su always placed her in the safest spot.

All she had to do was lie in the coffin and wait. The foolish tomb raiders would come knocking one by one. Capturing just one of them meant an entire hour’s worth of points!

Now, with the hour almost up, she finally gritted her teeth and opened the lid—only to find it empty.

Just 8 points!

Wei Xinlian stared in disbelief. How could one coffin be worth so little?

She should’ve picked the Maid role. Even though they had to switch locations every hour, they got a guaranteed 20 points—and possibly more if lucky.

It was all that damn Ling Su’s fault! Why did he change his tune last minute and make her think the Tomb Raider role was the better way to score?

Wei Xinlian bitterly regretted not teaming up.

But when she returned to the central chamber and saw all the team players being tested, a wave of smug satisfaction rose in her chest.

Good thing I had foresight.

Judging by how this instance worked, even if the rules weren’t spelled out, picking the wrong partner would definitely come with a cost.

Unchosen players could very well be erased. And those “partners” people chose? There was no telling if they were the real deal or just ghosts created by the instance.

She remembered that famous player Li Song had teamed up with Su Ci. As for Ling Su… he seemed to be acting solo… Wait—Ling Su had doubled?

Hahaha…!

So, if Su Ci picked wrong, there was a good chance Ling Su would die in this instance!

Wei Xinlian couldn’t help but smile.

Then she suddenly caught herself. Was she seriously wishing for Ling Su to die?

No… that was wrong. How could she have such a cruel thought? She’d always been a kind person—shouldn’t she be hoping everyone makes it out alive?

But…

Ling Su would get everyone killed.

Wei Xinlian exhaled.

Thinking this way… she was just doing the world a favor.

The players all looked different from their past selves, so she couldn’t tell how many puppets Ling Su had. But if he died, that would free up several valuable clearance slots.

The rest of the players started identifying their partners.

Those who’d only teamed up temporarily didn’t know each other well and hesitated. Among the veteran players, there were two couples—their girlfriends quickly picked the right boyfriends.

As the announcement rang out, the ghostly shadows vanished.

The two couples hugged each other and cried with joy.

All the tomb raiders let out a collective sigh of relief.

The wedding pastry box contained water flasks, cakes, candied lotus seeds, longans, red dates—supplies they could use.

Wei Xinlian bit her lip. She hadn’t expected the reward to be this generous. Her gaze drifted toward Zhao Kai.

He was that jock who had asked to team up with her earlier.

The girl who did team up with Zhao Kai also picked correctly. He didn’t touch the treat box and gave it all to her.
“Take your time and eat. Save your strength.”

The girl blushed and thanked him. “You’re so nice.”

Wei Xinlian’s chest tightened in frustration. Her score was now at the bottom—only 8 points, tied with three other tomb raiders for last place.

She looked around and her eyes landed on Ling Su’s group.

Unlike other teams, they had three people, and Su Ci still hadn’t made her choice.

Tch. I knew Ling Su was trouble.

In truth, Su Ci had figured it out from the start.

But the four “partners” around her each had their own agenda.

Li Songs:
“Baby, you’re closest to jie-jie. Of course you should pick me. What’s there to hesitate about?”

Ling Sus:
“Wow, someone’s full of herself.”

Both sides refused to back down, anxiously watching other players win the “Stronger Than Gold” achievement.

Su Ci pinched one and poked another, sighing. “Can I choose later?”

Li Songs:
“Anything baby wants, jie-jie spoils you.”

Ling Su:
“Hmph.”

And then…

[Congratulations to player Su Ci for earning the achievement…]

The announcement got stuck in its throat—paused awkwardly for half a second.

[Congratulations to player Su Ci for earning the achievement “Three’s a Crowd.” Rewards: +40 points, +20 partner bonus points, Wedding Pastry Box ×2]

All the other raiders stared, dumbfounded.

Wait… you could do that?!

Li Song blinked. “Where’s my ‘Stronger Than Gold’?”

Ling Su, annoyed, kicked a coffin.

“Playing favorites, huh? Just wait, you damn ghost. Hiding beauties in golden chambers, are you? One day, I’ll dig them out, beat your corpse to dust, and plaster it into the wall.”

With his violent threat, the whole tomb trembled. In the dark, sharp cries pierced the air—as if the entire mausoleum had come alive.

The raiders stiffened, swallowing nervously.

They wanted to die.
But they also thought someone else deserved to go first.

Ling Su’s insane presence made this already-deadly SS-rank instance even worse.

Among the paired players, three teams had guessed wrong.

[Congratulations to players Tan Jiamin, Yu Ping, and Xiao Jing for earning the achievement “Parting Ways.” Tomb raiders abandoned by their partners will now become captives.]

“Ah!!!”

The moment the broadcast ended, black mist poured out of three coffins, dragging the players inside. They were now slaves under the Beauty’s faction.

And this was only the first round.

One Maid captured, three failed the test—four raiders gone, just like that.

With the test failed, the Beauty’s side could now switch locations more frequently. The raiders’ odds just plummeted again.

There were still a dozen minutes left before the next coffin-opening round. Most players huddled together in the central tomb, sharing what they’d discovered in the first round.

Su Ci and Li Song sat down to enjoy their pastry box. Ling Su walked alone toward a western chamber.

“Su Su baby, try a longan. Ignore him. If he opens something cursed and dies, that’s his problem.”

Li Song’s elegant fingers held out a peeled longan. The flesh was translucent, juicy, dripping down her fingers in a glossy sheen.

“Thank you, jie-jie.”

Su Ci reached for it, but Li Song popped it straight into her mouth instead. The fruit burst between her teeth, sweet juice flooding her tongue. Li Song gently wiped her lips with the back of her hand.

“Good girl. Jie-jie likes you.”

Then she stuck out her soft red tongue and slowly licked the juice from her hand.

Her gaze locked onto Su Ci’s with predatory heat—like a refined hunter locking onto prey, eyes burning with desire and the thrill of conquest.

She looked like she’d pounce any second—to lick her, bite her.

And judging from Li Song’s deliberate tongue movements, she was very good with it—soft, nimble, gliding between pale fingers with delicate precision, leaving nothing untouched.

Any prey would gladly drown in her mouth.

“Want more, baby? Jie-jie will feed you.”

“Thanks, but I was just about to eat—”

Ling Su suddenly emerged from the shadows, dragging something behind him. He snatched the longan right out of Li Song’s hand.

The central tomb, previously buzzing with noise, fell into complete silence.

Ahhh! I’m going insane! What a psycho!
