Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 189 I like you

Gongzhan dispelled the fox clan's bewitching spell on Zhiyan, and Zhiyan's dull pupils instantly regained their lively luster.

Just as she regained consciousness, she felt a sharp pain all over her body. Zhiyan immediately clutched her chest and gasped for breath.

"What happened to me?" How could my body be so badly injured? Almost all of my meridians are broken. Although my cultivation level has increased to the eighteenth level, I am unable to recover.

Because every crack in her meridians was imbued with incredibly powerful phoenix energy, preventing her body from repairing itself.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood as she spoke.

"How is it?" Lu He asked Gong Zhan in a low voice.

Gongzhan shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do; Zhiyan's injuries were too severe, and she might not survive.

"Isn't there any other way?" Lu He was unwilling to give up.

“There’s a way. Isn’t she also a time traveler?” After all, Gongzhan was a veteran who had traveled many times. He was very experienced: “Then let her complete the mission before she dies as a character and be recalled by the system. Then everything will be fine.”

"The mission... right!" These words snapped Lu He out of her daze. She quickly knelt down and held Zhiyan's shoulders: "Zhiyan, what are the requirements for your mission?"

"Make Jianjian fall in love with me..." Zhiyan said, looking at Jianjian who was still unconscious beside her. She could tell that Jianjian also seemed to be seriously injured.

"It's too late. Jianjian probably won't even make it through today..." Gongzhan wasn't trying to discourage them, but the current situation was indeed extremely critical.

"How will we know if we don't try..." Lu He didn't want to just watch his partner die.

"It's okay, even if I die, it's just that this story failed to travel through time, and I'll lose points..." Zhiyan seemed to have given up hope and decided to give up and wait for death.

Looking at Gongzhan and Zhiyan, who were already thinking of giving up, Lu He felt a tightness in her chest.

"What about Jianjian? Did she just die like that?"

"There's nothing we can do about it, right?" Gongzhan clearly didn't understand why Lu He had suddenly become so agitated.

Zhiyan looked at Lu He, puzzled, as to why he was suddenly throwing a tantrum.

Lu He suddenly realized that she had lost her composure and shouldn't have imposed her feelings and thoughts on others.

From the perspective of the time traveler, it's like just experiencing a game. No one would consider the lives of game NPCs to be their own.

What sets Lu He apart from the others is that she had once viewed outsiders from the perspective of an NPC, and when she became that outsider herself, she couldn't help but empathize with the NPC character.

Seeing that she looked unwell, Gongzhan couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't be too sad. Jianjian is the protagonist of Zhiyan's comic, so she has the protagonist's halo."

"The so-called protagonist halo is an aura of immortality. These protagonists will not die in their own world. The only possibility is that they will be killed by the time travelers." Gongzhan explained the meaning of the so-called protagonist to Lu He in detail.

"The protagonist who is killed by the time traveler will become the protagonist of another world, so don't be too sad. Jianjian will live well in another world."

Is that really the case?

This was the first time Lu He had learned about this.

Just then, Jianjian, who had been unconscious, suddenly coughed softly. Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly clear in the quiet atmosphere.

Then, another cough rang out, like a signal from someone gradually waking from a deep sleep. Everyone was delighted and turned their gazes toward Jianjian.

Sure enough, not long after, Jianjian slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still somewhat unfocused and dazed, clearly having just woken up from unconsciousness.

Lu He's tense nerves relaxed a little.

Previously, Gongzhan had spent a lot of effort to infuse Jianjian with powerful demonic energy that could clear the fox poison!

But Jianjian still looked very weak. She struggled to raise her hand and reach into the air, muttering to herself as if she were looking for someone.

Seeing this, Zhiyan felt heartbroken. Despite her own injuries, she endured the excruciating pain and struggled to her feet, moving towards Jianjian.

The severed meridians made her feel like her body was being slowly tortured when she moved, but she didn't know why she just wanted to grab that hand without thinking.

She reached out and tightly grasped Jianjian's hand, which was groping in the air, and asked softly, "Jianjian? How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better? Is it still painful anywhere?" Zhiyan's eyes were full of concern and worry, as if she had forgotten that she was also suffering from pain.

"I... just... overheard your... conversation..." Jianjian said with difficulty in Zhiyan's ear.

Her pupils dilated, and Zhiyan was so panicked she couldn't speak: "No... I... let me explain... actually..."

“Actually… I don’t care about those things…” Jianjian touched Zhiyan’s face, smiling as she comforted her, “Actually… I like you…”

"Eh?"

“...From the day you saved me at our wedding...the day you lifted my veil..." Jianjian’s eyes were filled with longing.

Zhiyan probably didn't know that at that time, she had left a deep impression on the little girl's heart, like a peerless hero.

Zhiyan bent down and hugged Jianjian tightly. She didn't know what else to say. A feeling of guilt quietly arose, and tears welled up in her eyes without her even realizing it.

Seeing them embracing each other like this, Lu He felt a sense of relief, as if it had made up for some regret in her heart.

Suddenly, a white light flashed around Zhiyan, indicating that the mission had been completed and the system was recalling her.

She wanted to hug her a little longer, but it was too late. In the next second, Zhiyan disappeared.

Jianjian could no longer control her expression and burst into tears, covering her face. Just now, she had been smiling at Zhiyan so as not to make her too sad.

Now there's no need to hide your emotions anymore.

“Jianjian…” Lu He wanted to comfort her, but when he opened his mouth, he didn’t know what to say, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

“Jianjian…” Gongzhan also tried to persuade Jianjian cautiously.

"You all go out, let me have some peace and quiet..."

The two were thus driven out of the simple thatched hut.

"She... should be alright, right?" Lu He looked back at the thatched hut with concern.

"She won't live much longer, how bad can things get?" Gongzhan retorted irritably. "Besides, she was killed by Qingyu and will soon be summoned to another new comic world to become the protagonist. Who knows, they might meet in another world in the future. Don't be too pessimistic."

"Will she have previous memories like the time traveler?" Lu He asked curiously.

"This... I don't know, it shouldn't be... I've never encountered it before." Gongzhan waved his hand somewhat guiltily, trying to change the subject.

"Then how do you know?"

"Uh, I, I asked the system...uh..."

Why are you asking this...?

"No, I accidentally killed Tan You... I..."

"Huh? Tan You is dead? You killed him?" This was something Lu He hadn't expected. She hadn't thought that Gong Zhan was the kind of ruthless person.

"I didn't! It was a mistake! An accident! I didn't mean to kill him," Gongzhan hurriedly explained, afraid of being misunderstood: "Swords have no eyes, he suddenly... Let me explain..."

Gongzhan only regretted that his dead mouth couldn't speak fluently at this moment.

"Even if I wanted to kill him, why would I be in such a hurry to ask the system... doesn't that make sense?"

What this guy said does make sense. Lu He carefully considered those words and Gong Zhan's previous behavior. He was indeed completely different from Duanmu Xi and Qing Yu, who were almost perverted and ruthless.

"Anyway, now that Zhiyan is gone, Qingyu can't do anything about the Nine-Tailed Fox." Lu He naturally changed the subject: "You'd better be careful..."

This is no lie; Gongzhan is now a nine-tailed fire fox. He is undoubtedly Qingyu's target.

"Hmph, let that woman try? I'll definitely avenge Zhiyan and Jianjian!" Mentioning Gongzhan made her furious.

They had made thorough preparations this time, intending to kill Qingyu to avenge themselves, but they were still careless.

"Gongzhan, I have an idea... Perhaps this time we can complete the mission directly through Qingyu..."
