Chapter 439: Li Yuan’s Challenge

At the head seat.

Zhao Nishang and Shangguan Yunlan were “calmly” discussing matters of Piao Miao Holy Land.

Meanwhile, below, Lin Xixue couldn’t help but watch as her junior sister and Wang Haoran shared intimate words and occasional kisses.

Unable to contain herself any longer.

“Junior Brother, come out for a moment…”

“Senior Sister has something to discuss with you…”

With that, Wang Haoran, Lin Xixue, and Qian Anning left the sight of the two elders.

They moved to the front yard.

Where Lin Xixue finally threw herself into her junior brother’s embrace without restraint.

And Qian Anning, understandingly, made room on one side.

It was a familiar scene of Wang Haoran with one in each arm.

However, this time, Li Yuan, witnessing the scene, didn’t retreat in heartache.

Now, he was no longer the same as before.

According to the plot, he was now a master at the early Grandmaster level!

(Though I’ve long reached the mid-Grandmaster level…)

(This time, I confidently challenge the protagonist, having advanced to the Grandmaster realm first.)

(But a challenge is a challenge; I had to set a seven-day duel, to face the protagonist in the Holy Land’s grand competition in seven days.)

(The result is obvious, in such a xx duel, how could the protagonist lose!)

(In front of all Piao Miao Holy Land and visiting people from other Holy Lands, I, the Holy Son, will naturally be humiliated by the protagonist!)

(After this battle, the protagonist’s fame will finally spread beyond!)

(And I, the Holy Son, will become nominal, with Piao Miao Holy Land starting to see the protagonist as the leader among disciples!)

Li Yuan thought about the upcoming plot.

(By now, Master should also be on the Second Peak.)

(Probably inside discussing this with Martial Uncle Zhao…)

(After being kissed by the protagonist, Master must feel complicated and embarrassed facing Martial Uncle Zhao.)

(But in the future, that won’t be the case—)

(Because Martial Uncle Zhao will become just like Master!)

He soon arrived in front of Wang Haoran.

(Two pairs of master and disciple, the four beauties of Piao Miao Holy Land, all in his grasp!)

(No wonder he’s the protagonist with a halo!)

Seeing Wang Haoran with one in each arm, “lapdog villain” Li Yuan naturally greeted his goddess first.

“Xixue!”

Even though Lin Xixue was in Wang Haoran’s arms.

(…This plot is exasperating!)

Wang Haoran: “…”

Hey, Li Yuan, your “exasperated” expression is off!

As a “lapdog villain,” seeing your goddess should make you overjoyed!

Even if I, Brother Wang, just kissed her in front of you!

Your acting is subpar!

〈Yes, yes, Brother, Xiaoxing understands!〉

Then, Li Yuan heard his system notify him—

〈Host’s expression error during plot progression! Not in line with “lapdog villain” persona!〉

〈Host’s plot “reward” reduced by 30%!〉

This “punishment” made Li Yuan internally protest—

(No way, system!)

(Just an expression error, and you deduct so much!)

(Anyway, the three of them didn’t notice, system, don’t be so harsh~)

Unfortunately, his system ignored his complaints.

So Li Yuan sighed and continued “playing the plot”—

“Xixue, I’ve successfully advanced to Grandmaster.”

“I can protect you well now!”

However, Lin Xixue completely ignored him.

Rejected, Li Yuan turned his gaze to his junior sister.

“Junior Sister, behaving like this is improper!”

“Quickly leave that scoundrel Wang Haoran!”

Facing Qian Anning, Li Yuan didn’t use a humble demeanor.

He began to sternly order as a senior brother.

Unfortunately, Qian Anning only despised his differential treatment—

“I’m not leaving!”

“Haoran and I are lovers, naturally, I should be with him!”

Saying this, Qian Anning kissed Wang Haoran’s cheek.

“You…!” Li Yuan clutched his chest in anger, about to say more.

But then, Lin Xixue also acted.

She too kissed Wang Haoran’s other cheek—”I’m also Haoran’s lover!”

“You… Xixue… he… you all…!”

As if truly heartbroken, Li Yuan clutched his chest, retreating several steps in pain.

Then.

Seeing Wang Haoran’s “What, you unhappy?!” expression, Li Yuan’s eyes filled with unwillingness and jealousy.

(Damn it! I’ll still get humiliated by this smug crooked-mouthed protagonist!)

(Lapdog villains truly have no rights!)

“Wang Haoran!”

He spoke with hatred—

“If you’re capable, don’t hide behind women!”

“If you’re a man, face me one-on-one!”

“Hmph, as if I’m afraid of you!” Seeing this “lapdog villain” internally criticize him as crooked-mouthed.

Wang Haoran disdainfully mocked: “You, who got your face smashed by Ma Teng, dare challenge me?”

“That was my carelessness!”

Exposed, Li Yuan was somewhat exasperated:

“Hmph, don’t you know ‘after three days, one should be seen with new eyes’!”

Saying this, Li Yuan released his early Grandmaster aura.

“Are you afraid?”

“If you are, leave Xixue and my junior sister!”

“I can spare you!”

His tone became somewhat arrogant.

Feeling this aura, Wang Haoran first “darkened his expression.”

However, “with two heroines present, he quickly regained his calm demeanor”—

“Hmph, early Grandmaster, so what!”

“I’m not afraid of you!”

Wang Haoran stood up, “Speak, how do you want to compete?”

“Simple!” Li Yuan said, “I won’t bully you!”

“I’ll give you some preparation time!”

“Coincidentally, in seven days, it’s our Holy Land’s year-end competition.”

“Then, we’ll decide in the finals!”

Saying this, Li Yuan wanted to taunt protagonist Wang Haoran according to the plot.

But Wang Haoran beat him to it—

“I understand, let’s do it!”

“But, Senior Brother, don’t fail to reach the finals and end up eating dirt!”

“Haha!”

After mocking, Wang Haoran ignored the scowling Li Yuan.

He began to lead Qian Anning and Lin Xixue inside—

“The Holy Son wants to challenge me.”

“So, you two must help me train well!”

““Yes!””

The two girls obediently replied in sweet voices.
