Chapter 309: A Young Junior Sister Falls from a Tree

On the second peak, in the front clearing.

At this moment, a large crowd had gathered.

Despite having witnessed the Holy Son’s confessions many times and knowing the Holy Maiden would surely reject him, people still came to watch—

Being a lickspittle gets you nowhere! Even the Holy Son, the most outstanding of the younger generation, ends up like this!

Rejected continuously and becoming a joke among the Holy Land disciples!

His “lickspittle” reputation had even spread to the other two Holy Lands!

However, Li Yuan didn’t care about the odd looks from around him.

Being a lickspittle was his role, and everyone laughing at him meant his acting was professional!

This was praise for him!

Now, standing in the middle of the crowd.

“Xixue, I like you! Please be with me!”

“I will make you happy!”

Accustomed to his daily confessions, Li Yuan smoothly slid to one knee.

Although he appeared genuine and humble when looking at Lin Xixue, internally, he was eagerly anticipating—

(It’s here! The first plot point has begun!)

(It’s the same as usual; Lin Xixue rejects me, and I go to pester her.)

(Then, the male lead who’s conveniently “passing by” will jump in to stop me, showcasing his heroism!)

(“Can’t you see this lady is troubled?” “Miss, are you alright?” With just a few words, the simpleton’s heart flutters!)

(Haha! So ridiculous!)

Li Yuan glanced around.

(…Hmm? Why hasn’t Wang Haoran shown up yet?)

(According to the schedule, the male lead Wang Haoran should already be observing from the sidelines, waiting for the right moment to act!)

(This Wang Haoran appears to be passing by, but he’s been plotting all along! Seeing Lin Xixue that first time, he already considered her his woman!)

(Seizing the chance to rush out as a hero!)

Li Yuan looked left and right but still didn’t spot him, prompting some guesses.

(I remember, when he arrives at Piao Miao Holy Land, the first heroine he meets is actually the junior sister!)

(Junior sister was tasked to find me today, encountering a mishap midway, and coincidentally getting rescued by Wang Haoran.)

(As a heroine, junior sister naturally develops a fondness for Wang Haoran and soon becomes his third lickspittle!)

(Every time I try to deal with Wang Haoran, this treacherous junior sister reports to him!)

(But today, they’re only meeting; it’ll be a while before junior sister joins Wang Haoran’s harem!)

(Wang Haoran, you’re the male lead, can’t you be more dedicated!)

(Hurry up and take this simpleton away!)

Unbeknownst to him, after hearing his thoughts, Lin Xixue felt a storm brewing inside her—

What? The junior sister too?!

That’s too much!

Li Yuan’s “junior sister” was naturally Qian Anning, another disciple of the Holy Lord of Piao Miao Holy Land.

Young and simple-minded, she often acted dazed and confused, with a lovable, silly demeanor.

Everyone liked her.

That so-called male lead Wang Haoran plotting to lure the junior sister into his harem was unforgivable!

I must protect junior sister!

Simultaneously, I need to avoid the fate of becoming a mindless harem member along with Master and junior sister!

Determined, Lin Xixue glanced at the “lickspittle” who had been pursuing her—

Who exactly is he… to know future plots? And why play the lickspittle role…

And why can I hear his thoughts…

Lin Xixue knew Li Yuan was the key to breaking the cycle!

At this moment.

Wang Haoran, who had stepped out to watch the show, arrived at the edge of the crowd.

“A confession? So many spectators for this!”

“Can’t even see the middle… Luckily, I have my viewing cheat!”

Just as he was about to use his x-ray vision to see the show.

He heard rustling from a tree not far away.

Curious, Wang Haoran looked up.

“……”

A rounded piece of white cloth peeked out from among the leaves.

If viewed with x-ray vision, it would reveal two distinct parts…

Suddenly.

“Yah!” a startled cry echoed.

Seeing someone wobbly and about to fall from the tree, Wang Haoran quickly stepped forward and caught her.

“Are you okay?”

“…Um~”

The girl, groggily rubbing her eyes, seemed just awakened.

Her head still muddled, she hadn’t realized—

I was napping in the tree when I heard senior brother’s voice, saying I’d fall for someone named Wang Haoran and end up in his harem?

That can’t be; isn’t senior brother confessing to Senior Sister Lin? Why am I hearing his voice?

“…Um… Did I just dream while napping…”

“Why hasn’t senior brother finished confessing… Master has business with him…”

Glancing at the still-gathered crowd, she thought, I must’ve been dreaming.

“…Are you alright?”

“…?”

Hearing the voice from above, Qian Anning looked up.

With just one glance, her eyes fixated on the man’s face—

“…I like him!”

Mom, I want this man as your son-in-law!

“…” Seeing the girl in his arms covering her cheeks with her hands, blushing slightly, Wang Haoran had to ask again.

“Miss… are you okay?”

“I-I’m fine!”

“……”

If you’re fine, why are you still in my arms?

Wang Haoran wanted to speak when suddenly.

An ear-piercing siren blared—

[FBI WARNING! FBI WARNING! FBI WARNING!]

“…System, what are you doing! I’m decent; don’t show me this!”

Though the wrong prompt accidentally sounded, the system urgently continued.

[Host, something wrong!]

[System detects familiar signal fluctuations!]
