Chapter 201: Normal In The Opposite Direction (Extra Chapter For Miiyaaa)
I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!
The moment that fruit knife thrust forward, Chu Lingfeng felt the threat of death.
He had thought the mastermind was merely toying with him. He never imagined that the other party had been continuously lowering his guard, just to launch a sneak attack!
He tried with all his might to twist his neck away, but Chi Xiaocheng's speed was incredible. It was true that her previous body had been frail. But the body she had taken on through disguise was perfectly healthy, like any normal person. Moreover, with the yandere persona permanently active, her battle power had tripled and blackened. Add to that her surgical knife skill. When Chi Xiaocheng wielded the fruit knife, she could even gouge a hole in a tree!
This strike was meant to be fatal. Only this way would this male lead not affect Taotao!
It was unclear whether she was unaccustomed to the body she had disguised herself as, or if the cold weather was affecting her. As the knife thrust out, Chi Xiaocheng felt a sudden, cramp-like pain shoot through her hand. Then, with a slight tremor, the knife, which had been aimed at his neck, swerved towards his face. Coupled with Chu Lingfeng's desperate attempt to evade, with a tearing sound, the knife struck his face, cutting upwards at a 45-degree angle. As a bloody red line appeared, it also took half of his ear.
The fatal blow was interfered with by Heaven's will. Rather, it was because Chu Lingfeng's male lead aura was still active; Chi Xiaocheng was currently unable to directly overpower and kill this male lead!
From beside him, Chu Lingfeng's pig-like screams erupted.
“Ugh, ahhh—!”
He clutched his ear, the gushing blood quickly staining half his face red, then dripping down his chin to the ground. His face contorted in a ferocious grimace, he fumbled in his pocket and clutched several silver needles in his hand. “You asked for this!”
Great-Grandma’s Thirty Needles!
Chi Xiaocheng’s eyes widened abruptly. Seeing his intention to hurl the needles, and at the same time catching sight of the security guards running towards them, she turned and bolted. Her small figure bent low and slipped into the bushes, directly transforming back into a doll where no one could see.
It seemed this guy couldn't be killed before he was fed a poisoned apple.
However…
[Chu Lingfeng, the male lead, generated numerous negative emotions such as fear, dread, anger, and pain because of the host.]
[Emotion points +114…]
[Emotion points +514…]
[Emotion points +73…]
In short, she made a killing!
However, with Chi Xiaocheng's departure and the arrival of the security guards, Chu Lingfeng, who had been frozen in the act of preparing to hurl needles, finally collapsed weakly onto the bench. He had been so close, just moments ago, he had almost died! If not for his good luck, and the assailant somehow missing their aim, it wouldn't have been as simple as losing half an ear.
Fortunately, the fame of the Taiyi Thirteen Needles had already spread. The person who tried to assassinate him must have believed in his mastery of these miraculous needles. He tapped a few acupoints on himself, and after the pain subsided for a moment, he saw the security captain running over and immediately cursed, “Useless! How long ago did I give you the information? And you're only arriving now!”
The security captain's face was ashen. “The birthday banquet has already begun. Since there was danger, protecting Lord Si was paramount. How could I gather so many men?”
“You dare talk back?” Chu Lingfeng strode over and slapped the security captain across the face. “Can't you see I'm injured? Get me an ambulance! The assassin must still be in the courtyard; dig three feet deep if you have to, but find them!”
The security captain, having been slapped, also looked displeased. “Aren't you a divine doctor? Can't you just give yourself a couple of needles? Why call an ambulance!”
“You stinking security guard, you still dare to talk back!” Chu Lingfeng raised his hand for another slap, and at the same time, spat a mouthful of bloody foam onto his face. He cursed, “Know your place! You lowlifes, you have no common sense whatsoever! You deserve to be security guards and delivery men your whole lives. You study for a few years only to end up licking my feet! You work here, and you're not even grabbing the chance to climb higher?”
“And you lot too, what are you staring at? Get out there and catch them!”
“A bunch of trash!”
After his tirade, he failed to notice the security captain's increasingly dark expression. Just as he was about to turn, a sandbag-sized fist slammed directly into his uninjured right cheek.
Chu Lingfeng was instantly stunned by the blow. He looked up to see the security captain, who had already pulled out his issued baton and rolled up his sleeves, exclaiming, “Who are you cursing, your mother?! Aren't you just another dog trying to latch onto the Si family's leg? And you have the nerve to act so high and mighty!”
“I'm an orphan, a worthless life; if I die, I'll drag you down with me, damn it!”
Without another word, the security captain charged forward and unleashed a flurry of blows on Chu Lingfeng. The screams at that moment were even louder than before.
Meanwhile, Chi Xiaocheng, after purchasing and consuming a system-provided speed pill, had long since fled the scene. Though she hadn't managed to kill Chu Lingfeng, giving him a good beating had, all in all, put her in a good mood.
“But would my simply disappearing like this be a bit cruel to Taotao?”
“After all, my doll identity was a gift to her, representing a symbol of her trust and reliance.”
“If I disappear, Taotao would surely be frantic with worry, wouldn't she?”
A smile played on Chi Xiaocheng's lips as she evaded the lights and crowds, soon arriving outside an open window of the grand hall.
“I'm rather looking forward to Taotao's anxious expression~”
With a hint of mischievous delight on her face, Chi Xiaocheng stealthily climbed onto the window. The grand hall was bustling with people. On the prepared stage, an old man was toasting many guests, and even Dongfang Yang was there, chatting and laughing with the old man. The birthday banquet had already commenced, and even the ceremonial toasts had concluded, transitioning into the segment where guests mingled and conversed. Business collaborations, networking, and even resolving complex commercial rivalries. This was the main event of the birthday banquet.
However… Taotao wasn't visible in the main hall. Could she be by the dance floor? Dancing was, of course, indispensable at such banquets, especially for the children of minor families, who relied on dancing to display their charm and climb their way into better families.
Chi Xiaocheng secretly slipped to the other side of the venue and immediately spotted Su Tao. Even amidst the sea of bustling people, she, in her purple gown, her attire as modest as possible, remained the most beautiful star.
However, the scene she witnessed was not what Chi Xiaocheng had imagined. Su Tao was not anxiously searching for the doll. Instead, she was chatting and laughing with a youth whose hair was slightly long, whose features were delicate and rather neutral, and who was even much shorter than Su Tao. This sight made Chi Xiaocheng feel a pang in her chest. She had been so certain that Su Tao already liked her, and would only ever like her.
But now.
Why isn't she looking for me? Didn't you say you'd cherish the keepsake I left you, as if it were me alive? Don't you like me? Why can you show such a happy expression to someone else?
The ribbon at her waist, which had originally held the fabric doll, swayed gently with the breeze. Even without the doll, it looked perfectly natural with the long gown. It was as if it was saying that the scarecrow doll made no difference to her, whether it was there or not.
From afar, Chi Xiaocheng saw the delicate-featured youth extend a hand to Su Tao. He was inviting Su Tao to join him on the dance floor. And Su Tao, after much hesitation, still took hold of that hand at the wrist. What, then, would an invitation at a ball signify?
The small fabric doll by the window stared blankly at this scene, the highlights in its pupils gradually fading.
“Taotao, you're being a little naughty.”
