Chapter 408: Stealing Li Yuan’s Credit

“Little Senior Sister, come over here!”

The two blissful women, Qian Anning and Lin Xixue, were happily getting dressed, ready to go out with Wang Haoran.

Seeing Wang Haoran beckoning them, they were a bit puzzled.

Qian Anning, half-hidden behind her pipa, obediently walked over, joyfully asking, “What’s up?” (tln : kind of chinese instrument)

But in the next second—

….

Wang Haoran kissed Qian Anning.

Seeing this, Lin Xixue also came over, asking for a kiss.

Feeling the rain of kisses on their cheeks, both women couldn’t stop giggling, “Haoran, here too~”

After about seven or eight minutes, Wang Haoran finally stood up.

“Alright, I need to go out for a bit. You two rest well.”

“Mm-hmm! Come back soon!”

The two women obediently nodded.

……

After bidding farewell to the two women, Wang Haoran walked to the front yard.

He was greeted by his aunt, Zhao Nishang.

“Auntie!”

“Haoran, did you just wake up?”

Seeing Wang Haoran stretching, Zhao Nishang teased with a smile.

Upon entering, she sensed her disciple Lin Xixue and her niece Qian Anning resting in her nephew’s room.

And seeing her nephew looking so refreshed, she already guessed what had happened between the three!

“Haoran, you need to take care of your body and learn to control yourself!”

“Y-yes, I understand!”

Responding with slight embarrassment, Wang Haoran then curiously asked.

“Auntie, why are you out so early? Is something wrong?”

Zhao Nishang looked troubled, “Sigh, yes, it’s about your master.”

“She has a health issue and needs Yongli Grass for treatment.”

She rubbed her temples in frustration, “But we don’t have that herb in our Holy Land right now!”

“Yongli Grass? Isn’t that used to suppress Qi deviation?!”

Hearing about his master’s health issue, Wang Haoran “worriedly” grabbed his aunt’s hand:

“What’s wrong with Master? Is she in danger?”

“……No.”

Zhao Nishang looked at Wang Haoran gripping her wrist tightly, surprised—

It’s normal to be concerned about one’s master, but her nephew seemed overly anxious.

“Your master failed to break through a realm and suffered a backlash. She’s injured but not in danger.”

“She just needs to rest for a while.”

The injuries of his master, Shangguan Yunlan, weren’t severe. Even without Yongli Grass, she could recover in a month or so.

Hearing this, Wang Haoran sighed in relief, patting his chest as if a weight had been lifted, “I see, as long as Master’s okay!”

He turned his head.

Only to see his aunt staring at him with a curious and… gossip-loving look!

“Auntie, what are you looking at?”

“Haoran.”

Now it was Zhao Nishang’s turn to grab Wang Haoran’s hand:

“You’re so anxious… be honest with Auntie, do you…”

“Have feelings for your master!?”

“……!”

“No way!”

Wang Haoran looked guilty, as if caught:

“Cough, Auntie, what are you talking about!”

“As a disciple, it’s normal to worry about my master.”

“How could I… have other thoughts…!”

Right now, Wang Haoran was the epitome of “the more you explain, the worse it gets.”

Seeing Zhao Nishang’s “I get it, I get it!” teasing expression—

“Hehe, good nephew, you don’t need to worry.”

“If you really have the ability to win your master’s heart, Auntie will support you!”

By then, wouldn’t her sister have to call her “Auntie” too!

Zhao Nishang was actually looking forward to it!

She was about to say more encouraging words.

But.

Before she could, she suddenly remembered—

Qian Anning was currently lying in her nephew’s bed.

“Uh… Haoran and Anning have been together for a while… if my sister joins too…”

“Wouldn’t that be master and disciple…?!”

Thinking about it, Zhao Nishang became even more excited!

……

After speaking with his aunt.

Wang Haoran went to a secluded place at the foot of PiaoMiao Peak.

The reason he came here was to cooperate with Li Yuan’s plot.

According to the inner voice, the upcoming plot was as follows:

After hearing from the elder at the Cliff of Reflection about Shangguan Yunlan’s “Qi deviation,” Li Yuan became very worried.

Coincidentally, he discovered a Yongli Grass growing on a dangerous cliff opposite the Cliff of Reflection.

So, risking his life, he went to pick it for his master.

After picking it, he accidentally fell from the cliff, severely injured and unconscious.

At this moment, the despicable “protagonist Wang Haoran” happened to pass by.

Seeing the Yongli Grass in Li Yuan’s hand, he took it for himself.

——So, Wang Haoran followed the plot to find the “unconscious” Li Yuan.

Soon, the inner voice came:

(Sigh, being a lapdog villain is tough, I even have to pretend to be unconscious!)

(Where’s the protagonist, why isn’t he here yet!)

(The Yongli Grass in my hand is crucial for winning my master’s heart!)

“……”

Wang Haoran, like Li Yuan, found this plot ridiculous—

(The rare herb urgently needed by the heroine just happens to be found by you alone.)

(This kind of hero-saving-beauty treatment.)

(Li Yuan, you still dare call yourself a ‘lapdog villain’?!)

After a brief complaint.

Then, Wang Haoran, the so-called “protagonist who does nothing good and only thinks about stealing credit,” looked at the “unconscious” Li Yuan on the ground.

As Li Yuan wished, he took the Yongli Grass from his hand.

Then “sneakily” turned to leave.

In the background, the inner voice continued—

(Wang Haoran, this protagonist, really doesn’t waste time, immediately going back to claim credit!)

(And in a very cunning way!)

(He’ll secretly place the Yongli Grass in Master’s room while Aunt Zhao is chatting, pretending to do a good deed without leaving a name.)

(But—!)

(When he returns, he’ll deliberately make his clothes look tattered and injure himself!)

(And instead of putting the Yongli Grass away, he’ll hold it in his hand!)

(Then he’ll walk around the Holy Land!)

(Not even a fisherman showing off his catch is as flashy as him!)

(So, naturally, Master will know that the one who “secretly” helped her is her nephew!)

(Then she’ll be deeply moved, her heart fluttering!)

(And Little Junior Sister, knowing the protagonist got injured for Master, will be both distressed and proud, giving herself to him that night!)

(And the next day, the dim-witted girl will find out.)

(The dim-witted girl will be jealous and angry, and the protagonist will pretend to be in pain, gaining her sympathy!)

(Then, using his injury to his advantage, combined with a heartfelt confession, the dim-witted girl will fall for him, accepting Little Junior Sister!)

(Laying the groundwork for their future together!)

(So cunning!)

Listening to this, Wang Haoran thought: “……”

Li Yuan, don’t slander your brother Wang!

I’m just helping you with the plot!

For you, I even “did my homework” early this morning!

I took care of your Little Junior Sister and the “dim-witted girl” together!

It’s not easy for me either!

Thinking this, Wang Haoran tore his clothes, making them look tattered.
