The Overbearing Female Lead is Cool and Dazzling Ch.67
Another day, another new series. Hope you enjoy it!
And so, amidst the noisy chaos and the daily routine of smashing and killing zombies, the Su family’s convoy finally arrived at Base B City.
—Which was the true stronghold of the Su family.
“Miss, you’ve finally returned!”
“Miss, are you hurt? Did those bastards take good care of you?”
“Miss…”
As soon as they reached the entrance of the grand mansion, the people of the Su family surrounded Su Yanxi, expressing their joy and concern and showering her with affectionate words. He Lianqing, who was pushed aside and felt a little unhappy, was also somewhat stunned.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly recalled the original plot. In the original story, the supporting female character was the one secretly in control of the base; one who was always composed, responsible, and loved by the people of the base. If it weren’t for the protagonist obtaining cheat abilities, she would never have been able to defeat Susu.
And the reason Susu insisted on opposing the female protagonist…
He Lianqing’s eyes darkened suddenly, and her emotionless black eyes appeared cold and ruthless.
—Lin Li.
In the plot, it was because Susu was crazily infatuated with the male lead, Lin Li, that she kept acting recklessly throughout the story.
With these thoughts, He Lianqing’s gaze became obscure, and her mood couldn’t help but turn gloomy and melancholic.
What’s so good about that man? Before the apocalypse, he didn’t have the ability to save the female lead, and she found him herself. Weak, incompetent, blindly trusting others, she couldn’t comprehend what charm that man possessed to make Susu secretly admire him.
“Hey, you freak over there, do you plan on standing there forever?” Su Yanxi’s voice echoed from afar. When He Lianqing snapped out of her thoughts and lifted her head, she noticed that the young girl had been surrounded by the crowd and had now turned back to give her a speechless glare.
“Coming~”
Seeing that Susu was increasingly cherishing her presence and no longer ignoring her, He Lianqing instantly flashed a pleased smile and then swiftly strode toward her direction.
Once everyone was seated, they chatted freely about each other’s situations. Finally, Su Yanxi asked about the current condition of the male lead, “Where’s Ah Li? Why haven’t I seen him?”
The few people in the main mansion exchanged glances, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
“What’s wrong? Did he throw another tantrum?” Su Yanxi seemed unaware of the sudden drop in the room’s atmosphere, and she continued to express concern for her childhood friend while furrowing her brows.
“For some unknown reason, he has always firmly believed that you kidnapped her before the apocalypse…” one of them spoke softly, but then hesitated slightly and glanced awkwardly at the woman sitting beside Su Yanxi. Then he omitted mentioning her name and continued, “so during this time, he has been clamoring that we gave him permission to leave the base and search for her.”
He Lianqing clearly saw the sadness in the girl’s cat-like eyes behind the glasses. The once bright light in her eyes dimmed instantly, and she couldn’t help but feel a sharp pang of discomfort in her heart.
—Does she like him that much?
Would she rather like a man who is gentle, soft-hearted, and incapable, a man who wouldn’t like her back, than turn back and look at herself?
Look at… herself?
He Lianqing was suddenly startled by the thoughts that had just flashed through her mind. What was she thinking just now?
Why did she have such thoughts?
Then, an unbelievable guess emerged in her mind, leaving He Lianqing shaking her head in confusion, her thoughts becoming muddled and restless.
“Qingqing!”
A surprised voice came from the door, and a handsome and refined man quickly strode towards He Lianqing. He had only heard that Su Yanxi had returned and came to question her whereabouts. He never thought he would reunite with his long-lost lover so soon, and he couldn’t help but call out in delight.
Su Yanxi looked at the man she had always loved with an expressionless face as he walked towards He Lianqing. He knelt down on one knee, carefully trying to embrace her. Su Yanxi felt the sudden pain in her heart, but she couldn’t tell whom it was for.
Feeling agitated and confused, she suddenly stood up and diverted the attention of the woman, who was preparing to kick the man away with a twisted and dangerous smile.
“Lin Li, the person you’ve been looking for is right here.” The charming young girl looked down at the man who was staring at He Lianqing without blinking, seemingly unaffected. However, a hint of hurt flashed through her dark cat-like eyes. “From now on, don’t come to my Su family demanding people at the slightest provocation. I, Su Yanxi, cannot bear this accusation!”
Without waiting for He Lianqing to say anything, her cat-like eyes emotionlessly glanced at her, as if she had casually looked at a stranger, then naturally averted her gaze and left.
“Su family doesn’t welcome outsiders. Show them the way out!”
The people from the Su family’s convoy, who had been on good terms with He Lianqing, hesitated at first, but when they heard the young miss speaking so firmly, they could only put on stern faces and ask the two to leave.
—It turns out that compared to cold indifference, this kind of dismissive attitude is even more uncomfortable and distressing…
He Lianqing’s black eyes slightly darkened, but she knew that Susu was furious at the moment and wouldn’t keep her around. Besides, she seemed to have some issues to sort out herself, so it might be better…
“If it weren’t for Qingqing, I wouldn’t have set foot in your Su family’s domain!” Lin Li first glared fiercely at the group of seemingly ferocious and evil Su family lackeys, then gently and carefully extended his hand to He Lianqing. “Qingqing, come with me.”
He Lianqing’s black eyes coldly glanced at the man, a storm brewing deep within her gaze, wishing she could silence him forever right now!
However, in the end, she suppressed the urge to kill, not wanting Susu to know and resent her. She could only brush past him and walk away under the watchful eyes of the Su family members.
Lin Li, in his sluggishness, didn’t notice the murderous intent his lover had towards him. He just happily chased after her figure, feeling fulfilled in his heart.
>>>>>>>>
He Lianqing had temporarily left to clear her mind, but she didn’t expect such an unfortunate turn of events.
—Su Yanxi was severely injured while saving Lin Li and is currently in a critical condition, her life hanging by a thread.
Upon hearing the news, He Lianqing felt her head spin, and her mind went blank. It suddenly dawned on her how absurd she had been—all her previous hesitations were for what?
At first, when she heard this piece of news, He Lianqing thought someone was joking until she rushed into the Su family’s residence and saw Bai Han, who had finally discarded his composed and gentle facade, now wearing a face full of grief. Only then did reality hit her.
—How…could this happen?
—According to the original story, shouldn’t Susu be safe and sound in the base until she takes control of it?
—Why…
—Why did saving Lin Li lead to this outcome!!
“What are you doing here? The Su family doesn’t welcome you!”
Bai Han looked coldly at the woman who had forcefully intruded, his gaze soon turned into a dazed expression, and the hatred in his heart surged, wishing he could ignore the young miss’s orders and directly throw this pair of adulterers into the dungeon to torment them to death!
—It’s all because of them!
“I have a way to save Susu. Are you sure you want to stop me?”
Finally recognizing Su Yanxi’s importance to her, He Lianqing spoke emotionlessly with resolute and determined eyes, as if she had made a difficult decision, but no matter the cost, she was willing to pay.
…
In her semi-conscious state, Su Yanxi heard 007 calling out to her in her mind.
“007?” She subconsciously responded to her partner in a daze.
【Susu, are you okay now?】 007 asked with concern, 【Does it hurt?】
Su Yanxi shook her head in confusion and then remembered what had happened earlier. She had taken the blow from the advanced zombie for the male lead — an action originally performed by the female protagonist in the original story. However, He Lianqing suddenly disappeared, and with the male lead being unable to die during the mission as a world pillar, she could only take the risk herself.
—Fortunately, she won the gamble and regained consciousness.
【You are so reckless! It wouldn’t have mattered if the mission failed, why did you risk your life like that!】Seeing that she was safe and sound, 007 finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then scolded her relentlessly, 【Do you know how dangerous the situation was before?! You almost died! Do you realize that?!】
Su Yanxi shrunk her neck and weakly replied, “But I woke up in the end…”
【Do you think waking up was just pure luck?】007 coldly sneered, 【You were supposed to be directly sent back to the system space.】
“But… if the male lead dies and one of the pillars of the world falls, this world will collapse, and I can’t…”
The faces of every member of the Su family appeared in her mind one by one, and Su Yanxi persisted softly. She never believed that the world she carried out missions in was an illusion; everyone she interacted with was so real to her. Once the world collapsed and disappeared, even if it was reconstructed, they wouldn’t be the same people she had once known.
Moreover…
In front of her, He Lianqing’s face, always wearing a wicked and twisted smile, appeared.
Then, the faces of the women she had interacted with in previous worlds flashed in her mind uncontrollably—
Alberta, Victoria, Mu Shengyan, Su Liangjing… even Aurora from the initial world, who should have already become vague, suddenly became very clear.
What’s happening? They’ve all had their emotions extracted…
Su Yanxi covered her chest, feeling a bit bewildered.
007 knew exactly what she was thinking and couldn’t help feeling both angry and heartbroken.
Being her partner, 007 was a simple and emotionally attached being, and it had always understood that— in contrast, it was precisely because of this trait that it willingly bound itself to her for missions. But now, in this situation, it couldn’t help but find its partner too foolish, exasperating, and even hateful, making it feel like it should scold her thoroughly!
【Your mission is already completed, no need to worry.】
After a long silence, 007 sighed and finally compromised. After all, if Susu wasn’t so emotionally attached, then maybe she wouldn’t be herself anymore.
Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi momentarily forgot about the subtle and inexplicable emotions from before and instead became puzzled, “The mission was completed? How could it be so fast?”
She had been unconscious for a while, so why did the female protagonist, who had mysteriously disappeared at first, willingly stay behind?
—She had already prepared for a long battle…
However, with 007’s explanation, Su Yanxi finally understood that after He Lianqing found out about her situation, she made a pact with Bai Han that said, “If they couldn’t wake Su Yanxi up, He Lianqing would die with her.”
Then, after entering her room, the female protagonist summoned the system that she hadn’t used for a long time. After inquiring some questions, she decided to pay the price of staying in this world forever and transferred all the accumulated energy from her previous missions to Su Yanxi.
—He Lianqing decided to stay in this world.
—Thus, her mission was indirectly considered complete.
