Chapter 62: Sys, Why Isn’T Your Dark Transformation Skill Working?
Ji Xiaocheng walked over unhurriedly. The moment she opened the door, she saw Ye Liang standing rigidly before her, his aura like suppressed thunder, intensely oppressive.
Su Tao, at 1.66 meters, was quite unlike Ye Liang, at 1.86 meters.
Ji Xiaocheng truly had to crane her neck to see Ye Liang’s expression.
“Ji Xiaocheng?”
Ye Liang looked down at her adorable face, devoid of makeup. The words he had been about to utter in anger now held a trace of surprise.
Although Ji Xiaocheng had brought water during the last basketball game, Ye Liang had never truly looked at her.
In the current appearance-focused society, her face, as if blessed by delicate soft candies, glowed with a fine luster, making Ye Liang momentarily unsure if this person was truly the one he knew.
Ji Xiaocheng showed no intention of concealing anything; instead, she gave Ye Liang a happy smile. “I just saw you from upstairs. Come in~”
The intermediate acting skill had quietly activated.
Ye Liang frowned as he stepped inside. Without even changing his shoes, he stood in the entryway, staring intently at Ji Xiaocheng. “Are you Ji Xiaocheng?”
“It’s me.”
Ji Xiaocheng nodded with a beaming smile.
If this smile were directed at Dongfang Yang, that arrogant young master who treated everything as a game would likely have been completely captivated already.
But in Ye Liang’s eyes, it seemed like mockery.
Instantly, his temper flared.
He stepped forward, leaning down with an enraged glare. “What sort of bewitching concoction did you feed Su Tao, you?!”
Yet Ji Xiaocheng’s smile didn’t falter; she didn’t even avert her gaze slightly. “Ye Liang, what do you mean by that?”
“Hmph!” Ye Liang scoffed. “You’ve been targeting Su Tao for months and countless times you’ve sabotaged our relationship. Now you suddenly claim to have completely changed your ways. Only that fool would believe you because of her ‘memory filter.’ Do you think you can fool me?”
“Do you really think I wouldn’t dare touch you just because Su Tao speaks up for you?!”
Ye Liang extended a hand, slowly curling it into a fist starting from his pinky. Staring into Ji Xiaocheng’s crimson eyes, he enunciated each word: “This is my final warning to you. If you ever dare to appear before Su Tao and me again, I have plenty of ways to make you disappear!”
As the CEO and young master of a prominent family, causing Ji Xiaocheng to have an accident would be effortless.
He hadn’t done anything to Ji Xiaocheng until now purely because of Su Tao’s protection.
But Ji Xiaocheng’s excessive pushing of boundaries had already crossed his bottom line!
The intimidating presence of one in a superior position poured forth without reservation. He wanted to see the same fear and terror on Ji Xiaocheng’s face as before, to shatter her pretense.
But even after he finished speaking, Ji Xiaocheng didn’t even blink.
She still wore that faint smile. “No.”
“What did you say?”
Ji Xiaocheng narrowed her eyes. “I said, I refuse!”
With a sudden lunge, Ye Liang’s raised hand swiftly reached out for Ji Xiaocheng.
In a mere instant, he gripped her by the neck and effortlessly lifted her into the air.
Her feet dangled. Ji Xiaocheng’s face turned slightly flushed as her breathing became difficult.
But her face still showed no fear or terror. Her smile, instead, grew more twisted. “Ye Liang, if you have the guts, strangle me right here, right now!”
Ye Liang’s hand tightened slightly, his expression changed rapidly, and he finally threw Ji Xiaocheng to the ground. “Who are you to interfere in matters between Su Tao and me?!”
“I think you’re...”
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Xiaocheng cut him off.
“Why can’t I interfere?”
Ji Xiaocheng coughed twice. Clutching her throat, she scrambled to her feet. Her crimson eyes were fixed on Ye Liang.
She was like a trapped beast in despair, panting heavily. The grotesque, terrifying smile on her adorable, pretty face was utterly incongruous.
She was now like a yandere.
It was just that her crimson eyes, which should have been glowing with red light, weren’t emitting any, making it feel like something was missing. All the raw power was there, but it lacked a certain spiritual essence.
Yet Ye Liang was still stunned by Ji Xiaocheng’s roaring words. His brows were tightly furrowed. “I’ve told you, it’s impossible for me to ever fancy someone like you. Your interference with Su Tao and me will only make me detest you even more!”
His tone wasn’t as aggressive as before.
Anyone could sense that something was off with Ji Xiaocheng.
*This person is talking like this, does she like me to this extent?*
Yet Ji Xiaocheng burst into laughter, her voice utterly maniacal. “That’s right! It doesn’t matter if you like me or not, I never expected you to like me! But Su Tao is different!”
“Only with her, I forbid it!”
Ji Xiaocheng screamed. As if suddenly recalling something, she paused in a daze for a moment. “That’s right, now’s a good opportunity.”
Clearly, her madness startled Ye Liang. This young master, who had seen much of the world, felt a sense of foreboding in his heart. His scalp tingled slightly.
Subconsciously, he took a step back. “What exactly are you talking about?”
Ji Xiaocheng tilted her head and smiled. The hand she had kept behind her back slowly extended.
In her hand was a delicate fruit knife.
“Ye Liang~” Ji Xiaocheng’s voice gained a strange, obsessive quality. “How about you stay here forever? That way, you won’t be able to get close to Su Tao anymore~”
She stood still, slightly bending at the waist, looking as if she was about to lunge.
Ye Liang reacted quickly. In that instant, he assumed a defensive posture.
But...
Ji Xiaocheng didn’t lunge forward immediately.
In her mind, she anxiously called out to the System. “Sys, my performance should be full of anger right now! Dark transformation, where is it, where is it? I should be acting really dark right now, shouldn’t I? Activate the skill for me! Otherwise, I can’t beat Ye Liang!”
To her surprise, the System did not respond to Ji Xiaocheng.
For a moment, she was brimming with momentum, unable to decide whether to advance or retreat.
Finally, Ji Xiaocheng gritted her teeth and continued to put her acting skill to use.
“Ye Liang, you’ll stay right here!”
Ji Xiaocheng dramatically charged forward. As soon as she got close to Ye Liang, before she could even thrust the knife, her attack was easily parried by him.
At the same time, he angrily cursed, “Ji Xiaocheng, are you crazy?!”
“Yes, I’m crazy! I’ll chop off your hands and feet, so you can’t take another step out of this house! That way, you won’t be able to get close to Su Tao anymore!” Ji Xiaocheng’s hands trembled as she tried to exert force. But without a successful dark transformation, she was utterly weak. How could she be a match for Ye Liang?
With a gentle push, she stumbled back several steps.
Ji Xiaocheng still pushed ahead stubbornly. With a maniacal shout, Ji Xiaocheng stepped forward, ready to charge again.
But the loli was clumsy.
She had only taken one step when her left foot tripped over her right.
She fell flat on the ground.
The small knife flew from her hand.
As luck would have it, Ji Xiaocheng couldn’t touch Ye Liang no matter how she swung the knife, but now that the knife had flown out, it happened to stick right into Ye Liang’s thigh.
This gloomy young master immediately showed a contorted expression of pain.
Ji Xiaocheng, who had supposedly “fainted from the fall,” heard his shout and couldn’t help but sneak a peek.
Her expression then froze.
Oh no. I blew the act.
Where’s my acting skill that even Si Chen couldn’t see through? And my dark transformation with tenfold battle power?
Sys, come out and save me! Your skill isn’t working!
