Chapter 12 – Fairy Tales Are All Lies (12)
It felt like consoling a child.
However, it seems to greatly please the ‘little friend’ called Little Pink, as it happily frolicking in Yan Luo’s consciousness, and said [ But, dear host, I really can’t believe you actually have such hidden acting skills. ]
[ Turns out my host isn’t part of the ‘so useless’ series ~(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ ]
Yan Luo : …
If it weren’t for its ability to vaguely sense Yan Luo’s current mood through her consciousness, it might have thought of Yan Luo just like that maid, considering her nothing more than a delicate and naive flower.
Yan Luo’s gaze scans the surroundings, and she thinks about her realistic acting skills developed through numerous trials and tribulations since childhood.
After all, she was an unfavored child, not to mention she could see those weird things. Without some skillful acting to hide her ability, her life might be quite miserable.
Even though she is still afraid of those things, at a certain distance, she can now maintain the appearance of looking at them, sweating all over, without being noticed—impressive, right?!
Little Pink : [ Really… impressively timid. ]
Yan Luo : You better shut up.
Yan Luo’s mouth twitches slightly, and her steps pause.
Found him.
Not far away, next to an artificial lake, this place seems a bit secluded, with the surrounding shrubs not neatly trimmed.
Yan Luo listens to the voices coming from there, and her body moves to the side.
Standing there is Xiuyin, no mistake, but there’s another person across from him.
Yan Luo adjusts her angle, finally seeing the person’s face.
It’s Lan Ning.
She knows most of the major plot points and has an innate perception of disasters. Helping the male lead chase his wife…
Successfully ascending to the throne, marrying the wife, successfully cleared the blackening value…
Wow! Perfect!
Yan Luo clenches her fist.
[ *Ding*——Xiuyin Ailsrank, Blackening Value +3 (75/100). ]
…
????
Huh?! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
Wait, no, hold on, female lead, stop for a moment, don’t say anything!
Stop chatting, stop chatting! How can his Blackening Value increase while chatting with the girl he likes?
“Little Pink, can I know what they are talking about?“
[ Yes, Host, but using this system assistance requires deducting points. ]
“How many points do I have?”
[ Zero… However! Host can make a deferred payment. The completion points for this dimension will be rewarded thirty points, and ten are required for this assistance. ]
Unable to see or hear without her head sticking out, Yan Luo gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, let’s do it.”
[ *Ding*——Exchange skill «Mind Reading» (three times, and can only be used in this dimension). ]
The light blue translucent screen appears, with an additional image of a earpiece-like icon below.
After using it once, Yan Luo can finally hear what they are saying over there.
“Third Prince, actually Second Prince is not as you imagine, he is really gentle…”
This is Lan Ning’s voice, but the content makes Yan Luo break out in a cold sweat. They already have issues with each other, and Andre has even taken precautions against Xiuyin.
By saying this, isn’t she making things difficult for Xiu Yin?
No wonder the Blackening Value increased.
From Yan Luo’s position, she couldn’t see Xiuyin’s expression.
“Is that so? Is that how Lan Ning feels?”
Suddenly hearing Xiuyin’s voice, Yan Luo is slightly stunned.
Damn, who is this soft and shy bou? If it weren’t for the subtle sarcasm that was so well hidden that even she could barely hear it, she wouldn’t be able to connect this voice with the Xiuyin she saw before.
