Chapter 252: Late Night Gossip by Wang Haoran

Before the sky had even lightened.

Xu Liang had already been awakened by the pain.

Feeling the pain, in his groggy state, he opened his eyes while begging for mercy.

“…Ah Ao, please… I really know I was wrong…”

“…Please just let me go…”

“…I beg you…”

Until he saw the room’s environment clearly, Xu Liang finally understood that he had just had a nightmare.

“So it was just a dream…”

“This pain… feels way too real though…”

“But… aren’t dreams only supposed to recreate what you’ve experienced in reality? You shouldn’t feel something in a dream that you haven’t gone through in real life…”

“Why does it feel like… the pain from Long Ao was so real…”

Xu Liang was very puzzled.

Then—

“Hiss———!!!”

The pain made him take a deep breath for seven to eight seconds!

Air-conditioner remote control!

Why is it here!

“Long Ao, you’ve gone too far!”

“I, Xu Liang, will not share the same sky with you!”

After waking up, Xu Liang gritted his teeth and smashed everything in the room that could be smashed.

He really did not expect this!

Such an experience, such an experience!

How is he supposed to stay rational now!!!

As for why Xu Liang knew it was Long Ao who did it—

“An ‘eye’ for an ‘eye’!”

He knew just by seeing this message left behind!

After discovering that the jade fragment containing the power of transformation had also been taken by Long Ao, Xu Liang’s anger reached its peak.

“Damn! Damn! Damn!”

“Long Ao, since you are so despicable, don’t blame me for an eye for an eye!”

Xu Liang cursed angrily with a dark expression.

He did not expect that just because he relaxed for a moment, he was ambushed by Long Ao!

He knew that after the male lead Long Ao obtained this opportunity, his promotion to the transformation stage was already a certainty.

In 《Urban Crooked-Mouth Dragon King》, Long Ao’s promotion to the transformation stage was one of the biggest highlights.

In the plot, with his outstanding talent, Long Ao quickly broke through to the initial transformation stage.

However, during his seclusion, the news suddenly came that the heroine Su Yan had been kidnapped.

So Long Ao immediately left seclusion and went to rescue Su Yan.

What followed was the usual trope of overcoming obstacles, rescuing the heroine amid gunfire, and breaking through to the transformation stage along the way.

The harem of the Dragon King officially +1.

Moreover, this kidnapping was actually orchestrated by his own eldest young lady Chen Muyu.

Recalling this part of the plot, Xu Liang couldn’t help but frown.

This… Su Yan had already been taken by that bootlicker villain Wang Haoran…

And even his own eldest young lady Chen Muyu was… taken by Wang Haoran…

The plot was all messed up now!

Speaking of which, why does that bootlicker villain Wang Haoran get to have it all!

According to the plot, the heroine Su Yan always despised this bootlicker.

And although the villainess Chen Muyu was also a villain like Wang Haoran, she greatly looked down on him for being a bootlicker!

Moreover, after this kidnapping incident ended and the male lead Long Ao officially got together with the heroine Su Yan, the next plot was Wang Haoran becoming jealous and resorting to despicable means.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t beat Long Ao’s protagonist aura and ended up getting killed instead.

“Now… according to normal logic, the eldest young lady wouldn’t go to kidnap Su Yan… but then, there’s this thing called ‘plot correction force’ in this world… just like how Su Yaoguo suddenly held a banquet last time…”

“If the eldest young lady doesn’t act, someone else will probably step in to kidnap Su Yan, leading Long Ao to play the hero…”

Recalling what the system had told him, Xu Liang decided to go and probe his eldest young lady to plan his next action.

To avenge his own pride, Xu Liang was more proactive than ever.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Chen family mansion, in Chen Muyu’s room.

Wang Haoran was still marveling over what had happened last night.

“So this is what it means to have one’s eyes opened…”

Last night, upon hearing that Long Ao was heading towards the Chen family, he got there first and sat on the rooftop of Chen Muyu’s villa, planning to use his X-ray vision to watch the show.

When Wang Haoran arrived, Long Ao was still on his way.

Just as he was about to wait patiently, Wang Haoran suddenly heard someone calling his name.

The voice was very, very soft, even Wang Haoran had to focus to hear it clearly.

Curious, he used his X-ray vision to look and saw—

Chen Muyu, naked in the middle of the night, lying on the bed…

Perfectly “!”

And humming “Haoran~”, “Haoran~”.

This scene reminded Wang Haoran of a certain plot in 《Yosuga no Sora》—

The brother returning from the bathroom late at night, accidentally seeing through the door crack…

It wasn’t until Long Ao arrived that Wang Haoran regretfully stopped watching Chen Muyu practice the “Orchid Brush Snow” technique.

He then turned his attention to Xu Liang’s room.

Seeing Long Ao use the “Thousand-Year Kill” on Xu Liang from behind, Wang Haoran couldn’t help but laugh, but he could still accept it.

However…

Seeing Long Ao still not satisfied, looking around, picking up an air-conditioner remote control…

Wang Haoran’s pupils dilated and he took a deep breath.

This… Long Ao, you’ve gone too far!

If you do this, how will others dare to use this remote control in the future!

Seeing Xu Liang’s pained expression in his sleep, Wang Haoran couldn’t help but silently mourn for him for a few seconds.

It wasn’t until Long Ao left with the item that Wang Haoran snapped out of his shock.

“My God, what did I just witness in the middle of the night…”

Just as Wang Haoran was about to leave, he heard a sound getting louder from somewhere.

He couldn’t help but look again.

Only to see—

Muyu, look at Muyu~!!!.
