Chapter 18: New Target

9 min read2,264 words

Lin Xiaocha stretched out her pointed index finger, pressed it down on his back, and slowly wrote "one."

Han Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, as if all the blood in his body was pouring onto his back. The tingling sensation spread from his back to his limbs.

His hand holding the reins instantly became stiff.

It wasn't until Lin Xiaocha finished writing the word on his back, she said, "Xianjun, I have finished writing. Guess what the word is?"

He then came back to his senses. The roots of his ears were red, and he didn't speak for a while.

Lin Xiaocha said, "You can't guess it? I'll write a simpler one."

Han Yu's whole body collapsed stiff, and his clear voice became low and dull, "Stop it."

"Ah? Xianjun, did I touch your wounds? I avoided it deliberately."

Her tone was innocent and naive.

He avoided this topic and asked, "Are you so sleepy?"

Lin Xiaocha asked in a low voice, "Xianjun, are you sleepy? Oh yes, you are a celestial being, and celestial beings don't need to sleep."

Han Yu: ...

He just wanted to go through the Ten Thousand Demon Forest earlier and send her to the Central Plains earlier.

But it seems that it wouldn't work if they didn't find a place to sleep tonight.

He pulled the rein and lead the horse to walk to the intersection just now.

"Xianjun, how come we go back?"

"Looking for an inn."

They did pass by an inn earlier, and it seemed that they could only leave tomorrow.

As soon as they got in, the shopkeeper in a blue shirt and gray hair was counting his abacus without looking up, saying, "Excuse me, all the guest rooms are booked tonight."

Booked?

The implication of this word is the inn was not full, but someone booked it.

Lin Xiaocha thought to herself, no matter what world or era, rich people are self-willed.

Although she wanted to sleep comfortably in bed, it was impossible to sleep in the same room with Han Yu. Rather than separate, it would be more convenient for her to play if they stayed in the wilderness together.

Compared with one hundred million, sleeping on the grass was really nothing.

So she didn't regret that they didn't get a room, but she cleverly said, "Xianjun, then let's go."

Unexpectedly, Han Yu did not plan to leave and calmly said to the shopkeeper, "I want two rooms."

Lin Xiaocha knew that he cherishes words like gold, but he was extraordinarily generous in spending money.

The shopkeeper raised his head, and his eyes lit up slightly.

The man in front of him is incredibly handsome.

But the two little ancestors who booked the whole inn were also people he couldn't afford to offend.

"This guest, everything is first-come-first-serve. I can't take any money for you."

After that, he continued to lower his head and play with the abacus.

A high-pitched and penetrating voice sounded from upstairs, "I said you are blind. When you open your mouth, it's Bai Xuanran. When you shut your mouth, it's Bai Xuanran! How can she pretend so good?"

They saw a girl in a gold silk skirt rushing downstairs. She was going downstairs but turned her head and shouted upward.

Bai Xuanran?

Isn't it the name of the white lotus female supporting character?

Lin Xiaocha's eyes lit up, and it seemed that another target had appeared.

Although Bai Xuanran is a female supporting character, the author really made her collect thousands of suitors. Her admirers bloomed everywhere and then dropped randomly.

No wonder the heroine resented her so deeply.

Lin Xiaocha is different. She even felt a little thankful to Bai Xuanran.

Without her ocean-like pond, she wouldn't have the opportunity to make a fortune like this.

Just let me take over your pond from now on.

[T/N: The "pond" means a collection of fishes/potential suitors under her control.]

In an instant, she gave up the idea of leaving. After all, no one ever complains of having too much money.

On the second floor, a young man with a ponytail leaned on the stairs and folded his hands in disdain, "Xuanran is a good-hearted person. How is she pretending? I think you are just jealous."

"I am jealous of her? Please tell me what she has that I need to be jealous of." The girl turned her head and stared at the boy, her beautiful face flushed with anger.

"She is tenderer than you, cuter than you, more considerate than you, loved more by the city people than you..." The young man counted while holding up his fingers one by one.

The girl turned from red to black and stomped her feet in anger, "Shut up! Shut up!"

Not only did the boy not stop, but he continued to intensify, "Otherwise, how does the person you like, like her and don't like you?"

"Shut up!!!"

The girl stomped down her foot and made a hole in the stairs, making her whole body trembling with anger.

The shopkeeper looked at the hole on his stairs and made a loud "clack" noise with the abacus beads in his hand.

The boy smiled more proudly.

He turned his head and saw Lin Xiaocha was looking at him, so he sneered with disdain, "What? Seeing this young master's face is as beautiful as jade, your brain went away with the wind?"

Lin Xiaocha was really startled when she heard this. She tilted her head and looked at him from head to toe.

Based on its rough understanding of the host, the system felt a little stunned. [Don't tell me that you are ready to make little tricks under the male protagonist's eyes again!!]

Lin Xiaocha: [I'm not doing little tricks. ]

System: [...]

How come it sound more worrying.

I said that if you want to attack other targets, there are no problems, but can you not do things in front of the male lead!

Last time Feng Ziying's incident caused a false alarm.

After all, the male lead is the key.

Don't pick up sesame seeds and throw a watermelon. Make a loss because of a small gain.

The teenager looked down at the people downstairs.

He saw a young girl in apricot clothes with a petite figure and a small face as big as a palm.

The girl's whole body was like a hazy mist. A pair of clear apricot eyes glanced at him secretly, then hurriedly lowered her head, then secretly glanced again, and hurriedly lowered her head.

She looks shy and cute.

Jin Zhifeng snorted. He could tell at a glance what this little girl meant.

It's not that he has high self-esteem. But the girls who like him could line up from Jinjue City Lord's Mansion to the city gate. He had seen too much of such admirers.

Boring.

"What? Have you finished looking?" He asked maliciously.

Lin Xiaocha said in a gentle and sticky voice, "Not yet."

System: !!!

Han Yu glanced at Lin Xiaocha lightly.

Jin Zhifeng: ...

He thought that she would feel shame when she was ridiculed like that, but she actually answered.

Are girls so bold nowadays?

Finally, Lin Xiaocha hesitated and said, "But...you don't have a face like a jade?"

Boy: ????

Boy: !!!!

What?

What did she say?

At this moment, the girl in the golden skirt who stomped the stairs laughed.

The young man put his arms on the railings, looked down at Lin Xiaocha, and said grumpily, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Xiaocha hurriedly hid behind Han Yu.

The young girl who was arguing just now turned her gaze to the man in white next to Lin Xiaocha.

If you are not reading this on puretl. com, then this chapter has been stolen

Even though her brother is a famous and beautiful boy throughout Zhu Yun Country, he was a bit more impetuous and a bit less calm than the man in front of them.

The girl has someone in her heart, but she was amazed when she saw Han Yu.

Both of them couldn't help feeling, How come Zhu Yun Country still has such a person who looked so bright and pure?

The young man suddenly felt ashamed to compare himself to jade in front of this man.

He thought that the little girl liked him, to the point that she was delusional about him.

He couldn't help but feel a little upset, so he wanted to rush these people out straight away. "The whole inn is booked by this young master. Why are you coming in? Why don't you go out quickly?"

Lin Xiaocha whispered in a soft tone, "You just said that others are not loved by the people as much, but you are here to dominate and deceive others. I think it was you who people do not love."

The system jumped out. [I only told you not to do things under the male protagonist's eyes, but this teenager is very likely to be your target!! It's not appropriate for you to pull hatred like this!!!]

The boy was not angry, "I could see that you are soft, but what you said is so unpleasant. Can you tell me how I am bullying?"

"Dozens of people can live in this inn, but you have to occupy all of it. The rooms in the inn would save people from sleeping in the wilderness. Relying on wealth and power to occupy public resources, Xiaocha feels that you are bullying others."

Lin Xiaocha continued to finish the sentence softly.

"Occupying public resources?"

The young man heard such words for the first time in his life, but he felt that she was a little bit reasonable. Her tone was also so gentle as if she was trying to reason with him, making him unable to get angry.

At this moment, the girl clapped to Lin Xiaocha, "That's right!"

In fact, she didn't care whether Lin Xiaocha was right or not. The most important thing was that the enemy of her enemy is a friend.

The boy pointed at the girl with his thumb and said to Lin Xiaocha, "I am with her. Why did you say that I occupy public resources, but you didn't say it about her?"

Lin Xiaocha, "Because she looks good."

The boy: ...

The girl blushed. Originally Lin Xiaocha was just a temporary comrade-in-arms, but now she thought this little girl was very pleasing.

It's okay to be her friend.

So she said to the boy, "Yes! Weren't you the one who has a bad idea to book the whole inn?"

The boy, "Fine, you can do it. Just blame it all on my head."

The girl gave him a look, "Jin Zhifeng, was I wrong? Don't you dare to admit it?"

As soon as the three words Jin Zhifeng came out, the system's notification went online.

[Confirm the character is target Jin Zhifeng, the eldest son of the City Lord of the Jinjue City]

[Task reward: 2,000,000 yuan]

[Current Raiders Progress: 3%]

Lin Xiaocha earnestly counted the "0". Two million.

[Xiao Tong, why is the reward so much bigger than Feng Ziying's?】

【The amount of reward for the supporting role is determined by comprehensive factors. One of the most important points is the character's favorability for Bai Xuanran. The higher the favorability, the more difficult the strategy would be and the higher the reward. For example, Jin Zhifeng's favorability for Bai Xuanran is higher than that of Feng Ziying. ]

At this time, the system was a little puzzled. [You said things against him just now, but he didn't hate you? There is actually a 3% process? 】

Lin Xiaocha:【I just made him think I like him, and then I denied it. I created psychological ups and downs for him and made his heart beat faster. This is a push and pull technique. 】

【But the pushing force in the push-pull technique cannot be greater than the pull, so when I speak, I always pay attention to my attitude and don't irritate him. 】

[He is rich and pretentious, if I lowered my eyebrows in front of him, he would not pay attention to me at all, so I just got his attention in another way. 】

【This 3% Raiders progress should be my success that aroused his curiosity. ]

System: [Wow...]

[But these are all based on one very important point: I look good. 】

System: 【......】

Can't refute.

Jin Zhifeng put his hands behind his head, "Okay. You are great."

He referred to the united front of his sister and Lin Xiaocha against him.

Then he said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, the money doesn't need to be refunded. Just do your normal business. Whoever wanted to stay will stay."

The shopkeeper clasped her fists and said, "Thank you, Master Jin."

Lin Xiaocha raised her head and looked at Han Yu with a smile. "Xianjun, we have a place to live."

If Jin Zhifeng was unwilling to give up the room, Han Yu has his own way to make him submit.

However, she could persuade this arrogant second-generation ancestor. It also saved a lot of hassle.

There was a hint of approval on his cold face.

Who would guess that Jin Zhifeng suddenly turned over and jumped down from the second floor? He jumped in front of the two and looked at Lin Xiaocha with his long arms on his waist.

"Hey, shouldn't you thank me?"
