CHAPTER 321: CHAPTER 307: THE SITUATION IS CRITICAL

Little Tot also knew the situation was urgent.

But it had no physical form, unable to directly stop these two people.

It could only use Shi Nian’s All-Worlds Communication to inform those female leads.

Having had their faces slapped several times with Shi Nian’s help, they already regarded her as a life mentor.

With just one sentence from Little Tot, they hurriedly sprang into action.

Had it been any other matter, they might not have been able to stop the male and female leads.

But.

Slapping the faces of the female leads seemed ingrained in Leng Shuqin’s blood, as soon as she encountered women showing affection towards Dongfang Zhang, she would enter another mode, fixating on slapping their faces, with nothing else in her mind.

The first female lead made her entrance and successfully dragged things out for more than an hour.

Just as the second female lead was preparing to appear.

The Heavenly Dao behind them began to play dirty tricks again.

The male and female leads vanished on the spot, and by the time Little Tot monitored them again, they had reached the border, a mere step away from the battlefield.

"Host!" Little Tot was somewhat anxious: "They’re almost at the battlefield. Heavenly Dao forcibly teleported them."

Shi Nian’s expression grew colder.

At this final moment, when victory in the Human Realm was within sight, the Heavenly Dao behind everything was completely shameless.

But.

Shi Nian didn’t believe that it could interfere so forcefully without paying any price!

If there were no cost, it would have personally entered the fray long ago!

Being forced to resort to such underhanded tactics at the last moment also proved that the Heavenly Dao was utterly out of options!

Right now, it was very likely that it had already paid a heavy price.

Very well.

Previously, she had been unable to grasp any trace of the Heavenly Dao.

But now.

If the Heavenly Dao dared to make such a move, she refused to believe she couldn’t catch any traces.

"Little Tot, monitor the battlefield!" Shi Nian said with a cold voice: "If Third Senior Brother is in trouble, I will rush over immediately. This Demon Pool, if need be, can be purified once more."

However, leaving the purification halfway this time would give the Demon Pool time to catch its breath, it might slowly recover.

To purify it again, Shi Nian would need to spend a large amount of Crystal Stones.

The efforts of Baldy and Little Yellow would be in vain.

This would also delay Shi Nian’s ascension to the Immortal World.

But.

Shi Nian was eager to ascend to the Immortal World for Lu Zhuoyan.

Now that Yun Jian’s life was in danger, she could not ignore it.

For the current Shi Nian.

Lu Zhuoyan and Third Senior Brother were equally important.

Neither of them could come to harm.

"I understand." Little Tot responded solemnly.

On the edge of the battlefield.

Leng Shuqin was stunned for a moment.

She had just seen a woman who was all over her husband all day coming over, and was about to switch into battle mode when, the next instant, she disappeared right on the spot.

What... what is this situation?

Dongfang Zhang glanced at Leng Shuqin, and his expression also showed some confusion.

Why were only he and Leng Shuqin transported here?

Last night, it was also just the two of them who had the dream that they must rush to the battlefield immediately.

In the dream.

An imposing voice told them that the great battle between humans and demons had begun, and if they did not reach the battlefield, they would encounter unpredictable disasters in the future.

Even though it was just a dream, when Dongfang Zhang and Leng Shuqin talked about it after waking up, they found that they had both had the same dream. An unseen force seemed to have compelled them to accept this setting and made them strive to head for the battlefield.

But whenever a certain confidante of Dongfang Zhang started to engage in a war of words and mockery, Leng Shuqin, who should have been focusing on hurrying on her way, could not help but quarrel with her. This seemed to be a predetermined program, and even Leng Shuqin herself found it somewhat uncontrollable.

As one after another confidante appeared, and an endless barrage of verbal battles was on the horizon, Dongfang Zhang and Leng Shuqin were suddenly transferred away.

Leng Shuqin rubbed her head, feeling confused in her heart.

To tell the truth.

Her relationship with Dongfang Zhang was mostly based on considerations of interest.

After all, she lost her Golden Finger, and her innate talent for cultivation was just mediocre, while Dongfang Zhang was a great power of the Mahayana Realm.

Being with Dongfang Zhang, her main intention was to find a protector for herself.

Without those emotional entanglements described in books, if you say Leng Shuqin had deep feelings for Dongfang Zhang, that simply did not exist.

But unfortunately, as soon as there was any decent-looking female beside Dongfang Zhang, she would uncontrollably see the other woman as an imaginary enemy and felt compelled to crush and humiliate her.

Without the Golden Finger, who could she possibly humiliate?

Several attempts to put down others ended in her being worsted instead, and consequently, the relationship between Leng Shuqin and Dongfang Zhang became more and more fragile.

Leng Shuqin herself did not understand why she had to act so madly. Every night, she told herself not to do it again next time.

But when the time came, she would revert to her old ways.

She was clearly herself, but sometimes, she felt like a puppet set on a predefined course.

This had been troubling Leng Shuqin for a while, but she was unable to change anything.

This time, she and Dongfang Zhang were suddenly transported to the battlefield together.

This sense of fate became even more apparent. Leng Shuqin always felt like a puppet, as if there was a giant hand pushing her towards her ultimate end.

"Host, there seems to be something off about Leng Shuqin," Xiao Tong suddenly said.

"How so?" Shi Nian asked.

"Her emotional fluctuations are quite violent," Xiao Tong said: "It seems like she’s caught in some sort of confusion."

"Oh? Xiao Tong, did you discover something?" Shi Nian asked urgently.

Xiao Tong scratched his head, hesitatingly said: "I don’t know if you’ve noticed, Host. Regardless of whether it was Li Nanfeng’s plot or Yin Yu’s plot, Heavenly Dao didn’t interfere too much. Even though their plots were messed up, Heavenly Dao did not interfere. After the plots changed, they still developed according to normal logic. For example, after Yin Yu began treating Mu Jiangyue coldly and behaving strangely, Mu Jiangyue also naturally gave up on him. The same with Li Nanfeng and Yue Zhilan, originally deeply in love, but as the plot changed, the heroine could even end up killing the hero with her own hands. Actually, this also falls within logic."

Shi Nian pondered for a moment, and couldn’t help but nod her head.

Indeed so.

Although Li Nanfeng and Yin Yu had some protagonist’s halo, after Shi Nian slightly changed the plot, Heavenly Dao didn’t forcefully correct it much.

"When it came to Hu Lie and Ye Xiaoxiao, Heavenly Dao began its first interference. It directly brought the previous life’s Hu Lie back into Xiao Bai’s body and even gave Hu Lie a temporary method to suppress the master-servant contract, it was just short of taking the field personally," Xiao Tong said: "You can see that Heavenly Dao was somewhat anxious at that time. But then, its interference was still restrained. For example, when you gave Ye Xiaoxiao two choices, she weighed the pros and cons and still gave up on Hu Lie, choosing to leave."

"But when it comes to Leng Shuqin and Dongfang Zhang." Xiao Tong paused for a moment: "It did not only become anxious, but it even seemed somewhat irritated. Therefore, it used many direct methods to interfere. For instance, in this life, even though the relationship between Dongfang Zhang and Leng Shuqin is clearly not the same as their past life, logically, Leng Shuqin, who only wanted to find a protector, should not care so much about Dongfang Zhang’s fair-weather friends, much less fixate on humiliating them."

"Yet this year, as you, the host, also saw, even though their feelings are far from those of the previous life, Leng Shuqin’s actions were not much different from before. Now, Heavenly Dao even forcibly sent them to the battlefield. Under such frequent interference, Leng Shuqin seems to have sensed some points of logic that don’t add up."
