Zhang Naixi's brows furrowed slightly, not because she was annoyed by the gazes directed her way.
People wouldn't look at you more than a few times unless there was something extraordinary about you.
Or perhaps it was because of your striking appearance.
If you looked ordinary and plain,
people wouldn't bother giving you a second glance.
What truly puzzled Zhang Naixi were the words Xu Shi had spoken to her on the way.
Things like "this world is a novel world,"
and "you're just one of the many female protagonists living in this world."
All sorts of bizarre and cryptic statements.
Zhang Naixi had even touched Xu Shi's forehead to check if she had a fever.
But it wasn't as hot as she had imagined.
She had also asked Xu Shi some basic questions,
and Xu Shi's answers were perfectly logical.
She didn't seem to be hallucinating or out of her mind.
Xu Shi knew her cousin's personality well.
Zhang Naixi needed to experience things firsthand before she would believe them.
As for the alliance,
it was just a matter of sooner or later.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan's eyes were practically glued to Zhang Naixi.
This is just ridiculous!!!!
This woman with an angelic face, could she have been a cow in her past life?
She was exactly his type.
That figure, those assets.
Incredible, simply incredible.
Ma Qun was in a similar state as Lin Fan.
As they would say, "Food and lust are human nature."
Gao Liming, on the other hand, only glanced for a moment before losing interest, pursing her lips.
"Hmph!!!! What's the big deal?"
"It's just cumbersome. I really don't get what these guys are thinking. Is it really that attractive?"
Hearing this,
Lin Fan and Ma Qun were left speechless.
You're the last person who should be commenting on this.
Every night you still need someone to prepare warm milk for you.
What does a little kid who hasn't even grown hair yet know?
Lin Fan and Ma Qun both felt a deep sense of pity for this child.
Still too young.
Doesn't understand the aesthetics of real men.
Pathetic!!!!!!
Lin Fan took a deep breath and then turned to Ma Qun, "Ma Qun, isn't that Elder Zhang's granddaughter?"
Ma Qun nodded, "Yes, Dragon King. I've heard that Miss Zhang Naixi is quite skilled and holds a high position in the military. Moreover, the Zhang family's influence in the capital is not to be underestimated. If the Dragon King has any interest, Ma Qun will fully support you."
"Hahaha—it's not that serious, not that serious."
Lin Fan waved his hand, neither confirming nor denying his interest.
Ma Qun truly understood him!
"A woman like her is only worthy of the Dragon King."
Ma Qun imitated Gao Liming's flattering style to praise Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled, unusually modest for once, "I'm not as great as you say."
The master and servant were amusing themselves,
to the point where even Gao Liming couldn't stand it anymore.
"Dragon King, Zhang Naixi is heading towards Xu Mo's table."
"What?!!!"
Ma Qun's eyes widened.
The smile on Lin Fan's face vanished instantly, replaced by a grim expression.
Zhang Naixi and Xu Shi seemed to have noticed Xu Mo and joined their table.
Seeing Xu Shi arrive,
Tao Xiaofeng's face lit up with joy, and she skipped over to greet her.
The pressure once again fell on Tao Xiaoyi.
As an outsider,
how could he possibly sit with them comfortably?????
Let's be honest.
Zhang Naixi, who came from the capital, was truly stunning.
And yes, she was also quite well-endowed.
Perfectly satisfying the aesthetic preferences of those with less-than-noble intentions.
But he didn't dare to look too much.
Because Zhang Naixi's gaze was too sharp.
Being stared at by her made Tao Xiaoyi feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Xiao Shi, this is Miss Zhang Naixi, right?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao adopted the demeanor of a hostess welcoming a newcomer.
Xu Shi had already informed her via text.
She knew about Zhang Naixi's identity as a female protagonist.
Zhang Naixi nodded at Zhou Qiaoqiao, "You must be my future sister-in-law."
Who talks like that upon meeting someone for the first time?
Zhou Qiaoqiao was delighted.
The other female protagonists, however, were visibly upset.
Yang Jingying felt a pang of discomfort.
She should be the one called sister-in-law!!!
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled brightly and continued the conversation, "Your voice is so pleasant, sister. Please, have a seat here."
She stood up to guide Zhang Naixi.
Zhang Naixi accepted the gesture and, after sitting down,
exchanged brief introductions with the other women.
Finally, her gaze settled on Xu Mo.
Xu Mo thought they were old acquaintances.
He had even casually greeted her as "cousin," considering it sufficient.
But why was Zhang Naixi still staring at him?
Was it because he was better-looking than the others?
[Cousin, what are you doing!!! I am—the villain!]
[I am the man you can never have in this lifetime.]
[Your true love is sitting at the table behind you, see him?]
[Your cousin won't be able to wait for you anymore.]
[Because you'll belong to someone else.]
[Oh, by the way, the Dragon King will find an opportunity to approach you later.]
[Later, because Lin Fan cured your grandfather's leg injury from his military days, your grandfather will hold him in high regard. After learning about Lin Fan's master,]
[he'll not only respect him but also start favoring him, even trying to set you two up.]
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the primary mastery of the ancient martial art Bajiquan. (Upgradeable)"
Xu Mo's expression froze, and he was utterly stunned!!!!
What does this mean????
Is this system forcing me to take the protagonist's route?
First, it gives me the ability to resist,
and now it's giving me combat skills.
All I want is to follow the plot and then return to real life.
What did I do wrong?!
Why is this system making things so difficult for me!!!
Why doesn't it find a host who wants to crush the protagonist instead?
I have no interest in being that kind of villain!!!!
Of course, all these thoughts were naturally blocked by the system.
The female protagonists could only hear the earlier complaints about the plot.
The female protagonists exchanged glances.
They seemed to have overheard something incredibly explosive!
Only Xu Shi, after listening, thought about what had happened in her past life.
It matched up.
She was only slightly surprised for a moment.
Then she quickly composed herself.
As the person experiencing this for the first time, Zhang Naixi's head was as big as part of her body.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!!!!
Zhang Naixi's face was filled with disbelief!
'Xu Shi wasn't lying to me. She's not crazy. The one who might go crazy is probably me.'
Seeing Zhang Naixi suddenly freeze,
the other female protagonists looked at each other.
Sometimes, silence speaks volumes.
After a long while,
Zhang Naixi finally managed to calm herself.
She looked in the direction Xu Mo had mentioned.
Coincidentally, her gaze met with the person sitting there.
As the saying goes, there are no coincidences in life.
While Lin Fan was observing their table,
Zhang Naixi also glanced in his direction.
The so-called "spark"
must have been referring to this.
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, which wasn't surprising.
From Zhang Naixi's perspective,
there were two men and a child at that table.
Zhang Naixi's sharp and confident face broke into a playful smile.
"Those must be the forces of the Dragon King Hall!"
"Their aura is indeed different from ordinary people."

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
