Chapter 461

Xiao Mai: "Do you know each other?"

Hu Yifei: "I think I do too! 'Dragon and Snake Legend'—this is exactly this ordinary high school student's life."

Wang Chao: "Huh, I'm a character in a novel too—let me take a look, everyone chat slowly."

Xiao Bai: "@Holy Mother Young Lady, do you have demons there too?"

Holy Mother Young Lady: "Are you demons?"

Rem: "Xiao Bai sister is a demon, but a good one—you don't need to be afraid. Sister, what's your name々｀?"

Xiao Sang: "How do you know he's a sister and not a brother?"

Rem: "I'm not stupid—her group introduction says 'Young Lady,' so obviously she's female."

Xiao Sang: "..."

Zhong Suqiu: "I'm Zhong Suqiu, an ordinary person."

Su Xiao: "Huh, it's Miss Zhong—the backup female second lead!"

Yingdao Mayi: "Backup?!!"

Su Xiao: "In the original novel, Miss Zhong clearly had someone she loved, but the female lead handed her own husband and son over to Miss Zhong. Then, Miss Zhong left her own lover to devote herself entirely to raising someone else's husband and son."

Miyamizu Miko: "【Shocked】"

Amano Hinata: "???"

Yotsuya Miko: "Is this something a human could do?"

Xiao Wu: "Exactly—any normal person would never do this. Even if you're about to die, doesn't your husband have hands and feet?!"

Zhong Suqiu: "??? I actually ran into this situation?!"

Su Xiao: "You guessed right—the one who handed over Miss Zhong was a cunning demon. Externally a white lotus, but in truth, she exploited the lickspittles to the extreme. 【Strange Tales of Liaozhai: Hua Guzi】"

Su Xiao: "Everyone take a look—it'll truly shatter your worldview."

Ye Hei: "When I watched this drama as a child, I identified with the protagonist and didn't see anything wrong. Now, from Miss Zhong's perspective, it's purely a scheming female lead manipulating the white lotus female side character and the male side character."

Han Paopao: "I can't believe she had the nerve to say it—where's her sense of shame?"

Xiao Mai: "Probably because she's not human?"

Xiao Bai: "??? I feel insulted as a demon."

Bai Suzhen: "+1, even demons have a sense of shame."

Xiao Sang: "Xiao Sang also thinks that demon was despicable—good riddance!"

Gahburi: "This deer demon is truly not human!"

Ling Zun: "I don't like her—too scheming, hmph!"

Yingdao Mayi: "This deer demon's calculations are incredibly precise."

Zhong Suqiu: "After reading this story, I'm at a loss for words. It feels like the whole world revolves around that deer demon—it's so unfair."

Su Xiao: "That's what a female lead is—you know."

Xiao Mai: "This is still mild—if it were a modern drama, whenever the female lead had emotional problems, the female lead, male lead, and male side character would all destroy the world!"

Ye Hei: "Don't even say it—I'm scared. Falling in love means destroying the world? These people really ruin ordinary folks."

Bai Suzhen: "No way? If such a world existed, wouldn't ordinary people be living in misery?"

Xiao Bai: "Too terrifying!"

Zhong Suqiu: "I can't understand—why destroy the world over emotional problems? What logic is that?"

Hu Yifei: "That's called irrationality—destroying you has nothing to do with you; it's all about sheer nonsense. Modern TV dramas require you to throw away your brain to watch—otherwise, you simply can't endure them."

Li Shimin: "Hey, no one paying attention to me? I'm the Emperor, after all."

Ying Zheng: "`」 Laughable—so what if you're Emperor? Are you special?"

Ying Zheng #2: "Exactly—look, even Qin Shi Huang has two versions. You, a later Emperor, still want to act fancy?"

Xiong Ba: "Newcomers are getting arrogant. How about a match on the arena with old man me?"

Li Shimin: "You're strong?! When I was young, I wasn't weak either—fine, let's go—where's the arena?!"

【Ding, Xiong Ba has opened the arena—everyone come watch!】

The next moment, a mighty, imposing man and a stout man in a dragon robe appeared on an open field.

Su Xiao and the others stood in empty space, gazing down.

Su Xiao: "Disappointing—ordinary Li Shimin, nothing special to see."

Xiao Mai: "Indeed—Li Shimin's strength is weak; he can't even take one blow from Xiong Ba."

Hu Yifei: "Wait, Li Shimin was a great ruler, brilliant in strategy—how could he be so foolish as to step onto an arena?"

A Zhu: "Yes—legend says Li Shimin excelled in both civil and military affairs, peerless through history. How could he be like this? Seeing this pot-bellied Li Shimin, I'm so disappointed (damn)."

Ye Hei: "Li Shimin is human too—you idolize him too much. Look—he's grossly overweight because he's been Emperor for many years. The longer you're Emperor, the less you tolerate being contradicted."

Ying Zheng #2: "That's true. I deeply understand—some Emperor constantly brags about crushing me, which is terrifying."

Ying Zheng, rolling eyes: "You say that—do you even believe it? Are you even scared?!"

On the arena.

Xiong Ba was speechless: "You? You want to fight me?"

Li Shimin gripped his steel spear, poised and ready, radiating formidable presence—he clearly was a martial practitioner.

But only a martial practitioner.

He came from an ordinary world, utterly unable to gauge Xiong Ba's depth; he only thought the young man had fine bearing, but his skin was too soft and delicate—how could he possibly match a mounted Emperor like himself?
