Chapter 431: The Wicked Women Society’s Backup Plan

“Alright, stop arguing.”

“Senior Sister, I understand your intentions.”

Wang Haoran couldn’t help but stop the two bickering women on either side of him.

“Yes, yes!”

Lin Xixue, happy to be praised by her junior brother, nodded eagerly.

Then she continued—

“But I don’t know why Xiaoxue and Ruochu also drugged the chicken soup.”

“I didn’t coordinate with them; it just happened!”

“So—” An Buyu was a bit annoyed: “You all drugged the soup separately, and I was the only one who got affected!?”

Lin Xixue laughed, “Big Sister, even though you got drugged.”

“We were ‘doing bad things for a good cause’!”

“If it weren’t for our Tranquilizing Powder, how could you be so intimate with my junior brother now!”

“…Hmph!” An Buyu snorted and turned her head away.

Actually, she thought the same. She finally got to be with her beloved, so she didn’t want to argue.

“Buyu, you don’t plan to capture me as a plaything anymore, right?”

Wang Haoran teased, ruffling her hair.

“Of course not!”

An Buyu, as if competing with her “Second Sister,” pressed her face against Wang Haoran’s chest, “I’m very well-behaved!”

“So cute!” An Buyu, now acting like a little kitten, made Wang Haoran want to tease her even more.

“Mm~ Mm~” Feeling left out, Lin Xixue pouted and grabbed her junior brother’s other hand, “I want some too!”

“Alright, alright!”

Wang Haoran started to handle the two playful kittens—

“So now, the Wicked Women Society only has Xu Ruochu left…”

“You might as well disband it.”

“True!” An Buyu, the “founder,” was the first to agree.

“But I didn’t expect Xixue and Xiaoxue to be your people!”

An Buyu looked at her “Second Sister,” who was also clinging to Wang Haoran:

“Hmph, when you joined, you talked so miserably and cursed Haoran so harshly!”

“Such good actors!”

“…” Lin Xixue couldn’t even retort.

Seeing An Buyu acting so shamelessly, she dared to say such things! Truly shameless!

Then, since An Buyu had spoken first, Lin Xixue started talking about another matter—

“Actually, we all thought capturing you as a plaything was difficult.”

“So, we had a backup plan.”

“Backup plan?”

“Yes, it’s simple. The four of us would try our best.”

“As long as one of us succeeded in winning you over.”

“Then, the successful one would act as an insider, drugging you, knocking you out… basically helping the other three to… devour you completely!”

“…” Wang Haoran was speechless: “You four… spent all your time planning this?”

“Of course not!”

An Buyu immediately “confessed” the mastermind—

“At first, I just wanted everyone to work together to improve our strength, and then…”

“Support you, Haoran.”

“So that, moved by our efforts… you would like us and fall for us!”

That was An Buyu’s true intention, but—

“It’s all because of Xixue!”

“After she joined, she kept talking about how you bullied her in various ways!”

“And she said, ‘We sisters must work hard to turn the tables and make Wang Haoran obedient in the future!'”

“She led everyone astray!”

An Buyu loudly accused, making Lin Xixue very embarrassed.

“Senior Sister, you… have a lot of complaints about me?”

“No… I was just joking… and things are different now!”

Lin Xixue laughed awkwardly, then—

She took the opportunity to kiss her junior brother on the lips, “Junior Brother, don’t overthink~”

“Hmph, taking advantage!” An Buyu immediately mimicked, not to be outdone.

After playing around for a while.

Wang Haoran brought up the matter of Li Yuan.

Given the situation, An Buyu naturally wanted to come clean.

But she hesitated, looking at Lin Xixue.

“It’s okay, Senior Sister is one of us.”

After Wang Haoran said this, Lin Xixue immediately responded happily, “Yes! I’m one of us with Haoran!”

So, An Buyu explained her thoughts—

“Because I wanted to kill him… to show you I don’t like him.”

“I know it’s a stupid idea… but at that time… I couldn’t think of any other way to prove it to you…”

“So I tricked Xixue into helping me gather information…”

She confessed.

And Lin Xixue—

“Why are you looking at me?”

She hugged Wang Haoran’s arm, looking unconcerned.

Of course, Lin Xixue herself had no intention of killing Li Yuan.

Although she found the “lapdog” who always interrupted her and her junior brother’s moments increasingly annoying.

But he was still a fellow disciple.

If an outsider wanted to kill Li Yuan, she would even report it to her master or martial aunt.

But now.

The one planning to act was her dear junior brother.

So she pretended not to know—

She even thought that if her junior brother needed help dealing with Li Yuan, she would definitely assist!

“Who told Haoran to be my dear junior brother!”

“Master said we’re family! Naturally, I must support my junior brother unconditionally!”

Knowing she was “falling,” Lin Xixue didn’t mind; she even felt a bit excited—

“Hehe, but Junior Brother is quite the villain.”

“To monopolize me, he’s planning such a ‘villainous’ act!”

No choice, facing such a big villain, she, the “little villainess,” could only submit!

Lin Xixue thought.

……

Unaware, Li Yuan was still engrossed in his plot—

(Now An Buyu is competing with the foolish girl.)

(After some time, she’ll be abandoned by the protagonist and turn vengeful.)

(At the year-end holy land competition, she’ll see me opposing the protagonist and come to me.)

(So, during this time, I don’t have much plot, just brooding alone, hating the protagonist, and scheming against him.)

(Then, this petty behavior is seen by Junior Sister and Master.)

(Both are deeply disappointed in me and warn the protagonist to be wary of me.)

(Junior Sister has long fallen, so that’s no surprise.)

(But when Master warns him, she gets…)

(Her first kiss stolen by the protagonist!)
