Chapter 188

In the early morning, Chen Fan woke up and habitually stretched, looking at the scenery outside the window. Qin City, it’s time to leave. Soon, he would enter the Magic City.

[July 24th, clear weather. I did some calculations today, and I’m in a damn good mood because the protagonist is about to start showing off.]

[Hahahaha, the Magic City arc! Man, it’s been exhausting. The journey has been full of ups and downs, but I’ve finally made it through, truly survived.]

[One by one, these female leads act like they’ve lost their minds. Honestly, they should be sent to a hospital for treatment.]

[I calculated today’s plot, and the protagonist is about to flex. The Ye family is still the Ye family, after all.]

[Well, how do I put it? The Ye family will invite people from major families to meet Ye Aotian, serving as proof of the protagonist’s worth and giving him a protective shield.]

[Sigh, being this villain is so miserable. It’s really tough.]

[Theoretically, today the protagonist is supposed to show off and then interact with Ye Ziyue. Because he pushes Ye Ziyue’s wheelchair, she expresses her support for Ye Aotian, feeling that he’s different from the rest of the family.]

[Hahahahaha, this is killing me! The so-called top genius girl falls for him just like that? Her heart’s swayed already?]

[And Liu Feifei is even more hilarious. Today, the protagonist is going to beat someone up, apparently one of Liu Feifei’s suitors. But that’s none of my business—this part is my “slacking off” phase.]

[Oh yeah, so refreshing! Slacking off is just too damn good.]

Reading the diary’s update, the female leads instantly perked up. This … the plot was progressing as expected. Surprisingly, those events were still unfolding.

The most critical point today was that the protagonist would show off, meaning he needed to display his strength in front of many family members. That was the core objective.

His interaction with Ye Ziyue wasn’t the main focus. The real face-slapping drama would likely happen on Liu Feifei’s side.

Although Chen Fan didn’t write a diary entry, the female leads were still on high alert as they read. They were worried about some unfortunate events unfolding.

The most telling sign was Chen Fan’s laughter. Whenever this guy laughed, it meant some poor female lead was about to face trouble.

[Pfft, hahahahaha, I’m dying! I can’t take it, hahahahaha.]

As expected, there it was. Damn it. Who was it? Who was so unlucky to have a plot development with the protagonist?

[The protagonist does over a dozen backflips in a row, making Ye Ziyue laugh.]

[Damn it, I’m starting to suspect the author has some sick sense of humor. Can’t write comedy, huh? Is this supposed to be funny? This is… playing monkey, isn’t it?]

What the hell? Are you sick? Is your whole family sick?

Ye Ziyue, who had just applied some ointment, was still immersed in joy because her legs were regaining sensation. She could clearly feel the blood flowing in them. But her happiness didn’t last long before this unfortunate event popped up.

Backflips to make her laugh? Are you sure? Are you serious? Chen Fan, did you write this wrong? How could it be like this? Am I, Ye Ziyue, that shallow? Do you know what it means to be the top genius girl? I’m the number one genius in the Magic City. Even in the Imperial Capital, I’d be the top genius, okay?

I’m… I’m the smartest, the most talented. I’m like a woman who stepped out of an ancient painting. I… I’m also the most beautiful. And I’m supposed to be amused by a monkey? Why don’t I just go to the zoo to watch a show?

Why the hell would I watch a person? This isn’t comedy—it’s ridiculous! You’re toxic, seriously.

After uploading the diary, Chen Fan eagerly prepared to claim his reward.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully uploading the diary. You have obtained the Great Law of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang.]

What the hell is this? Chen Fan vaguely felt like the system was up to something naughty.

[Great Law of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang: An automatically operating technique. The strength of any opposite-sex individual who is on good terms with you will receive a terrifying boost. Of course, your strength will also improve.]

What the hell? Isn’t this just some evil technique? You’re definitely up to something naughty, absolutely.

But thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem like a big deal. The system was probably balancing things out. Based on the information Chen Fan had gathered recently, he guessed the plot had leveled up.

In other words, the abilities of the characters had grown stronger. Normally, Zhu Yeqing wouldn’t be able to defeat those heaven’s chosen ones, but somehow, she had actually managed to do it.

The plot was on track, but Zhu Yeqing’s strength had exceeded expectations. Yet, it somehow felt reasonable. Could this be the repair of the world line?

Chen Fan always felt that the timeline’s repairs weren’t bad. They always seemed to help him at the right moments. Zhu Yeqing was definitely not a sixth-rank. As for her actual level, Chen Fan didn’t bother to care. But since the characters’ strengths had increased, Zhu Yeqing’s power theoretically needed a boost too.

If it didn’t improve, he wouldn’t be able to show off later.

Not bad. It’s balanced out. From this perspective, the Great Law of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang seemed quite useful.

What Chen Fan overlooked was that the Great Law of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang was derived from the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. If he only saw it as an evil technique, his perspective was too narrow. Its true significance lay in cultivating by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

That was the truly terrifying part. Because it already touched on a slight level of immortal cultivation. Most people’s ancient martial arts only involved generating internal energy from their own bodies.

But if you could harness some of the energy of heaven and earth, your level would far surpass theirs. Unfortunately … Chen Fan had no idea. He only knew he’d gained a new skill and stored it away. As for when to use it, who knew? He’d use it whenever it was helpful. That was enough.

In a great mood. The source of this content ɪs noⅴelfire.net

Time to pack up and watch the protagonist show off. Heh, the plot was on track. As for character consistency? Screw character consistency. At this point, even if Ye Zimei crawled out of his bed the next day, Chen Fan wouldn’t be surprised.

Everything was already so warped.

Meanwhile, in the group chat, Liu Feifei sent an emoji with her hands on her hips. Countless people laughed, immediately understanding what Liu Feifei’s gesture meant.

This woman was gloating. Yes, she was damn well gloating.

Ye Ziyue angrily said, “Liu Feifei, watch yourself when you come to the Magic City. Got it?”

Liu Feifei replied, “Hmph, you’re just a little sister. Call me big sister, got it?”

The group chat exploded over this. Everyone stared at their phones, watching the drama between the second and third female leads unfold.

These two were getting serious.

Sure, neither of them would get involved with Ye Aotian, but still, as the second female lead, Liu Feifei wasn’t about to let the third female lead, Ye Ziyue, outshine her.

You’re just not on my level.

Lin Qingyue chimed in, “Ahem, keep it civil. I’m still here.”

Liu Feifei said, “From what I know, you’re usually the forgotten one. Poor thing.”

Damn it, are you sick? Do you have to bring that up?

It was a common flaw in many novels. They set up an amazing, powerful woman as the first female lead at the start, but as the story goes on, she gets sidelined.

Occasionally, the author remembers, “Oh, right, she’s the first female lead,” and pulls her out for some plot.

If they forget? She’s just left in the background. It’s not like forgetting characters is a one-time thing for novel writers.
