So the Female Lead is My Golden Finger

To verify his theory, Zhu Ping'an swallowed the second Qi and Blood Pill without hesitation.

With the experience from just now, digesting the Qi and Blood Pill this time was a familiar routine.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Accompanied by a series of shattering sounds, Zhu Ping'an felt as if some shackles inside his body had been broken, and an indescribable sense of power surged from the depths of his heart.

He opened his eyes excitedly, finding that his five senses had greatly improved. His gaze could even make out the transparent wings of a dragonfly vibrating in the distance.

He understood that he had officially become a First-Rank Warrior!

And just as he had guessed, not long after swallowing the Qi and Blood Pill, someone else came to deliver another one, claiming they believed he would achieve great things in the future and wanted to invest early.

Zhu Ping'an could only choke down another Qi and Blood Pill with tears in his eyes, lamenting how powerful the Plot Forced Correction truly was.

Over the next half hour, every time he swallowed a Qi and Blood Pill, another inexplicably appeared. In just thirty minutes, he had devoured a full nine Qi and Blood Pills!

Even the son of the Qingcheng Richest Man probably couldn't be as extravagant as him!

Zhu Ping'an could clearly sense that his Qi and Blood Value had skyrocketed from an initial 80 to nearly 185—more than doubled.

"Wonderful..."

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. This plot could definitely be Exploit Bug'd. From this perspective, not only should he not stay away from Yan Shubing, but he had to stick close to her. She was his Golden Finger!

Just as he was overjoyed, the next Qi and Blood Pill arrived. This time, it was delivered personally by the Homeroom Teacher, who said it was a reward from the school for his honesty in returning a lost item—helping the Lord of Qingcheng retrieve a Peerless Treasure Sword.

"That old man is the Lord of Qingcheng?" Zhu Ping'an was a bit surprised, but his body moved honestly as he accepted the Qi and Blood Pill.

"Ping'an Ge..."

No sooner had Zhu Ping'an taken the Qi and Blood Pill than Yan Shubing's voice drifted softly from behind him.

Zhu Ping'an's teeth ached. This woman had come back without him noticing, and now the Qi and Blood Pill was right in his hand, with no time to hide it.

"Bingbing, what a coincidence, you're here too." Zhu Ping'an forced an ugly smile.

"Ping'an Ge, what's that in your hand?" Yan Shubing stared with wide eyes at the Qi and Blood Pill in his hand.

Zhu Ping'an: "..."

He suddenly wished it was a piece of crap instead of a Qi and Blood Pill.

"That... it's a Qi and Blood Pill, right?"

Seeing Zhu Ping'an silent, Yan Shubing continued on her own, her smile blooming like a flower.

"Ping'an Ge! You're so good to me! You're the best person to Bingbing in the whole world! I knew you couldn't bear to see me go to another school!"

But when she reached for the Qi and Blood Pill in his hand, she found him gripping it tightly, unwilling to let go.

A flicker of surprise crossed Yan Shubing's face, and then a crystalline teardrop slid down the corner of her eye.

"I understand... Ping'an Ge, you don't want to give the Qi and Blood Pill to Bingbing, do you?"

Seeing Yan Shubing cry, Zhu Ping'an wanted to laugh on his face, but his chest ached unbearably... Damn plot.

"How could that be, Bingbing? I'd give you everything. It's just a mere Qi and Blood Pill—of course I'm willing to give it to you!"

Zhu Ping'an handed the Qi and Blood Pill to Yan Shubing. He had come to terms with it anyway; he'd already eaten nine, and another wouldn't do much good. Better to use it as a favor.

After all, if he really fell out with Yan Shubing, how would he keep Exploit Bug'ing the plot?

"Thank you, Ping'an Ge! Don't worry, I won't take this Qi and Blood Pill for nothing! Consider it a loan from you—I'll definitely pay it back someday!" Yan Shubing took the pill excitedly and skipped away.

Watching Yan Shubing's slender retreating figure, Zhu Ping'an's eyes turned cold.

He knew perfectly well that Yan Shubing wasn't taking the Qi and Blood Pill for herself, but for the male lead of this book, Ye Qingxian!

Ye Qingxian was gifted by nature, a true prodigy. His Qi and Blood Value was even higher than Zhu Ping'an's, reaching an astonishing 98 points without any resource support.

According to the original plot, with the Qi and Blood Pill Yan Shubing gave him, Ye Qingxian successfully broke through to First-Rank Warrior. In the Mock Exam the next day, he effortlessly defeated Zhu Ping'an in front of Yan Shubing.

Zhu Ping'an would then declare that in the College Entrance Examination, he would surely stage a comeback and defeat Ye Qingxian. To this, Ye Qingxian would merely glance at him indifferently and say.

"Those who fall by my hand are never considered my opponents. I'll give you time to catch up, until you can no longer see me in the distance."

That contemptuous, aloof gaze was like a sharp carving knife, etching itself deep into Zhu Ping'an's heart. If not for losing the Qi and Blood Pill, he might not have been a match for Ye Qingxian.

Yan Shubing knew full well that Ye Qingxian only crushed him thanks to the Qi and Blood Pill, yet she still cheered from the sidelines as Ye Qingxian defeated him, leaving Zhu Ping'an lying on the stage like a complete clown.

Afterward, when Zhu Ping'an confronted Yan Shubing, all he got were her tearful eyes.

"Ping'an Ge, Qingxian Ge is different from you. He and I both come from poor backgrounds. You can afford Qi and Blood Pills, but he can't. And taking one would definitely let him break through to First-Rank Warrior. I just wanted our Qingcheng High School to produce another genius! Isn't that our school's collective honor? Why can't you understand me?"

"Setting the facts aside, isn't using the Qi and Blood Pill on Qingxian Ge more cost-effective than using it on you?"

As luck would have it, Ye Qingxian was nearby at the time and overheard the truth. This kid, instead of showing the slightest embarrassment for swallowing Zhu Ping'an's Qi and Blood Pill, beat him up again.

"Zhu Ping'an! Even without the Qi and Blood Pill, I, Ye Qingxian, would still be invincible in this world! If you dare trouble Shubing again, don't blame me for not holding back!"

After such an absurd series of events, what did the original plot's Zhu Ping'an do? Of course, he forgave her!

Zhu Ping'an's gaze turned icy as his five fingers slowly closed. A surge of power flowed from his limbs and bones to his clenched fist.

He wanted to see this time—how would Ye Qingxian still claim to be invincible in the world?
