Chapter 465: The Embarrassment of Yun Xiaoxiao

After being sneak-attacked by the “despicable protagonist” Wang Haoran and having his face stomped into the water, Li Yuan finally found a place to come ashore and used his Qi to dry his clothes.

Being suddenly stepped on, even someone as patient as him couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

And seeing the mysterious senior he had just met standing so close to the “protagonist” Wang Haoran made him uncomfortable—

“It shouldn’t be…”

“Lin Xixue and those other foolish heroines are influenced by the plot, that’s why…”

“Tushan Yingyu… there’s no such character in the ‘heroine’ lineup…”

However, even as he thought this, Li Yuan immediately remembered the “villainess” An Buyu, who was supposed to be his ally.

Now he could see the five beautiful women sitting together in the distance—

“Yun Xiaoxiao, Lin Xixue…”

“The little one is… that Fu Xue…”

“And then… An Buyu.”

Beside An Buyu was the female disciple from Nine Nether Holy Land.

At this moment, among the five women, only Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at him, the “disgraced lapdog villain,” while the others were all fixated on the “spirited protagonist” Wang Haoran.

Those eyes, as if they wanted to cling to him… clearly showed affection.

Clearly, among these people, only Lin Xixue and Yun Xiaoxiao belonged to Wang Haoran, not the others!

If it were within the plot, no matter how the “protagonist” showed off, slapped faces, or wooed women, Li Yuan, with his “omniscient” perspective, wouldn’t have any other thoughts; he might even laugh.

But if it’s outside the plot, like with An Buyu or the current Tushan Yingyu…

And especially when they’re “taken” from his side.

Feeling indignant… envious of their allure…

The chaotic development left Li Yuan, who had lost his “omniscience” and “control over the plot’s direction,” feeling unbalanced.

And just as Li Yuan was feeling troubled.

Tushan Yingyu was tilting her head, examining Wang Haoran’s face:

“Let me think…”

“Before I went to sleep… the people I met…”

Sorting through her long-forgotten memories, soon enough.

She clapped her hands, her cold expression turning to shock:

“I remember now!”

“Xue Jinghong!”

“You look like her!”

However, the Wang Haoran before her had more chiseled features.

While Xue Jinghong was a “cute little girl” with long flowing hair and a round face—though this little girl was quite ruthless, having pounded her into the lake’s depths like a turtle.

“Are you Xue Jinghong’s son!?”

Couldn’t be a grandson, right?

Tushan Yingyu estimated her sleep duration and made this guess.

“……” And Wang Haoran, seeing himself once again recognized as “Mom’s son,” was quite surprised.

“Do my mother and I really look that alike?”

Similar, yes, but not so much that one’s identity could be confirmed at a glance, right?

—In fact, Zhao Nishang could recognize him at a glance because she had deep feelings for her “Xiao Yun” sister, thinking of her every day, so she could instantly recognize Wang Haoran as the “son.”

And as for Tushan Yingyu… it was because the only human she had interacted with deeply was the exceptionally talented “Xue Jinghong.”

And this person, at just over twenty, nearly gave her, at over a hundred, a psychological shadow, leaving a deep impression.

Thinking back, even though the lake was her domain, adept with water, she was beaten into hiding at the bottom by the flame-wielding Xue Jinghong, only daring to emerge now that her power had recovered…

A bit embarrassing.

But since no one else knew, Tushan Yingyu maintained her facade of a calm expert, coldly addressing Wang Haoran:

“Hmph, where is your mother now?”

“Tell me!”

“This time, I’ll show her that I only lost before because I was careless!”

“……”

Wang Haoran couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have a grudge against my mother?”

“Of course!”

—The “proud” Tushan Yingyu made a statement she’d later regret deeply.

“A grudge… well, there’s nothing I can do then…”

Since she wasn’t like Auntie, who brought warmth, Wang Haoran didn’t bother mentioning his mother.

So it was time to get down to business—

“Senior Brother!”

Wang Haoran turned, sternly addressing Li Yuan:

“Li Yuan! I never expected!”

“To seize the Water-Fire Yin-Yang Herb, you’d ally with a beast, intending to take Yun Xiaoxiao’s life!”

According to the heart-voice plot, the “lapdog villain” Li Yuan desperately saved Yun Xiaoxiao, only to be framed and slandered by the “protagonist” Wang Haoran, accused of colluding with beasts to harm fellow disciples.

And Yun Xiaoxiao, under Wang Haoran’s “deception,” believed it to be true and testified against him.

Thus, under the charge of “colluding with beasts,” Li Yuan was personally stripped of his Holy Son title by his master Shangguan Yunlan, then replaced by Wang Haoran—

So now Wang Haoran was helping Li Yuan follow the plot!

Just a bit ahead of schedule!

But at this moment.

Already feeling uncomfortable, Li Yuan, hearing Wang Haoran’s accusation, couldn’t help but grow angry:

“Wang Haoran, what nonsense are you spouting?”

“I’m spouting nonsense? Hmph!”

Wang Haoran pointed at Tushan Yingyu, sneering—

“Tell me, did she just attack Senior Sister Yun?”

“……Uh… yes…”

At this point, Tushan Yingyu interjected to explain for Li Yuan:

“I had no intention of harming that girl.”

“It’s just—”

“She was peeing by the lake, so I wanted to scare her, teach her a lesson!”

Waking up to find someone being so uncouth above her head, she wanted to drag this “unrefined” person into the water for a good soak!

And with her words.

“……”

“……”

Everyone couldn’t help but look at the seated Yun Xiaoxiao.

Yun Xiaoxiao’s face immediately turned red—

“I-I didn’t!”

“This female ghost is lying!”

But everyone heard the guilt in her voice.

“Who would’ve thought, Xiaoxiao, you’re like this…” Fu Xue teased mockingly.

Yun Xiaoxiao usually maintained a cold and composed demeanor in front of others.

But who knew that when alone, she’d be so carefree and unrestrained, lacking decorum!

And Wang Haoran also sighed, this Yun Xiaoxiao, even after being resolved once, was still so much when frightened by Tushan Yingyu!

Truly worthy of being Yun Ling’er’s distant cousin!

tln : both of them are huge pervert.
