The Seven Heroines Gather in Thousand Mechanisms Town and Meet the Prospective Protagonist Early!
Eight o'clock in the morning, inside a breakfast shop in Thousand Mechanisms Town.
Ling Yi, who was having breakfast, suddenly sensed Changes in the atmosphere of the shop.
This is a long-established steamed bun shop.
Ling Yi ate steamed buns at this shop yesterday morning and thought they tasted great, so he came back today.
The steamed bun shop was almost completely full.
The steamed bun shop, which could easily accommodate thirty or forty people, sounded as if the volume had been turned down.
From a noisy crowd to a gradually emerging elite.
Ling Yi looked up and instantly understood the reason.
A woman dressed in a white business suit, exuding a cool and domineering aura, stood at the door, her Aura Field as imposing as a proud white swan.
No wonder the people at the steamed bun shop were all silenced.
This woman's demeanor and attire were simply too out of place in a steamed bun shop filled with the warmth and vibrancy of everyday life.
Ling Yi, who was drinking soy milk, almost spat it out.
{Wo Cao, Chen Xue, president of Chen Long Group, the most queen-like woman in the original drama.}
{No, how did she get here?}
{It's not Chen Xue's turn to appear yet!}
{By the way, in the original story, how did Lin Chen win over the original owner of this body? Oh, and Chen Xue appeared quite late in the story; by then, Lin Chen had already grown up.}
{He secretly manipulated a portion of the company's shareholders to stage a rebellion, and then appeared out of nowhere as Savior, rescuing Chen Xue from Shui Huo.}
{It was that simple; I won over this aloof CEO who claimed to be a staunch non-marriage advocate and would remain single for life.}
{Damn, not only did he get her, but he also managed to get this high and mighty female CEO to share him with several other women. The Protagonist Aura is truly powerful.}
Just as Ling Yi was pouring out his heart, Chen Xue Ling Yi towards him.
Then he sat down in front of Ling Yi, staring at Ling Yi intently without saying a word.
Ling Yi took a bite of the steamed bun while glancing at Chen Xue.
{It has to be said, as the female lead, Chen Xue's looks are truly stunning, and more importantly, her aura is simply amazing.}
{Unfortunately, not my type!}
Ling Yi shook his head!
It's so cold, so cold that it makes you feel completely listless!
{System, if I become the male lead, am I obligated to romance all the female leads, just like in the original story?}
[No need. The host's strength has already reached the Half-Step Immortal. Just follow the plot step by step. The host doesn't need to interact with these male Masai to increase their strength.]
In other words, we don't need to care about the female lead's attitude at all?
[Yes, host. But there's one thing: you must protect these female leads. You absolutely cannot let them die before the story's finale!]
{No, will the female lead still be able to cry?}
[Host, don't forget, there are also transmigrators and Awakened who might cause trouble. If they discover that you don't need to seduce the female lead to complete the plot and help the world ascend to a higher dimension, they will definitely take action.]
Ling Yi finished the last steamed bun.
Then I got up to pay the bill.
He completely ignored Chen Xue.
But the inner voice never stopped.
{Yes, indeed. Neither transmigrators nor Awakened want the world to ascend to a higher dimension. It seems I need to learn some techniques for Clone; otherwise, it would be troublesome if I couldn't protect everyone by Clone.}
[Host, within the ancient immortal's cave dwelling, there exists a Shadow Puppet Spell that can refine Shadow into puppets. These puppets usually hide within the female protagonists' Shadow, and can appear to protect them in times of danger.]
{ Shadow Puppet Spell? It seems there really is such a technique in the inheritance of the ancient immortal's cave.}
Ling Yi had already started walking out of the steamed bun shop.
Chen Xue followed behind Ling Yi, less than two meters away.
Once outside the steamed bun shop, Ling Yi glanced around and spotted a white luxury car parked on the side of the road.
Ling Yi glanced back at Chen Xue, then pointed at Da Bin and asked, "Is this your car?"
"Yes!" Chen Xue replied succinctly.
Ling Yi walked straight towards Chen Xue's car.
There was someone in the driver's seat; it was Chen Xue's secretary, Xiaoxiao.
Her full name is Zhu Xiaoxiao. Like Uncle Shui from the Ling Clan, she is an all-around secretary.
In short dramas, there's always this character by the side of any domineering CEO.
The same applies to the female CEO.
Ling Yi opened the back door and got in.
Chen Xue got into the car and sat next to Ling Yi.
"Did you come here specifically to see me?" Ling Yi asked after Chen Xue closed the car door.
"Okay!" Chen Xue nodded.
"What's up?"
"Curious!"
"What are you curious about?"
"Cultivators, male protagonists, cannon fodder, transmigrators, Awakened —all are curious!"
Ling Yi touched his nose. "No wonder she's the most unique female CEO."
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi flipped his hand, and a seemingly ordinary Shitou appeared in Ling Yi palm.
This is a jadeite rough stone, the same type of rough stone often seen in short dramas.
There happened to be a jade gambling market in Thousand Mechanisms Town, Ling Yi took a stroll there when he had nothing else to do while collecting supplies these past two days.
I bought all the available raw stones and stored them in the Jade Pendant Space.
Chen Xue looked at Ling Yi Ling Yi, wondering what he wanted to do with such a Shitou.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, slightly trembled with his Spiritual Power.
The next moment, the Shitou layer on the surface of the raw stone disappeared.
Instead, there was a piece of irregularly shaped emerald green jade.
"The green isn't full, the water content is average, but there are no internal cracks, so it's still above average, around two million!" Chen Xue commented casually.
Ling Yi rolled his eyes and didn't reply.
With another surge of Spiritual Power, the emerald green jade stone Cutting into squares the size of Spiritual Power tiles.
Ling Yi waved his hand, putting all the other jade stones into his Jade Pendant Space, leaving only one in his hand.
Point your finger at this square piece of jade.
Then suddenly, tiny specks of fluorescence appeared, but the fluorescence quickly faded.
Ling Yi looked at the jade in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
Then he handed it to Chen Xue.
"What is this?" Chen Xue asked after taking it.
Have you ever read any cultivation novels?
Chen Xue shook her head. "I never read online novels."
"Alright, this thing is called a jade slip, it's used for recording information, but the quality is poor, it can only be used once and then it'll be unusable."
"You can simply stick it on your forehead."
"What's recorded here?" Chen Xue asked.
"A short drama, and everything you want to know."
Without any hesitation, Chen Xue directly placed the jade slip on her forehead.
The next moment, Chen Xue's consciousness was pulled into an Illusion.
This Illusion is the content of the short drama " The Monk Comes Down the Mountain: A Strange Tale of Marriage Certificate".
Yes, it's a short drama, not just a script.
Ling Yi created it as a Illusion world, allowing Chen Xue to watch the short drama from a first-person perspective.
The technique for making these jade slips was something Ling Yi learned from the Jade Pendant Space.
Convenient, practical, and easy to make.
While Chen Xue was watching the short drama, Ling Yi made eight more pieces.
Ling Yi had a premonition that Chen Xue was probably not the first female lead to take the initiative to find him today.
Sure enough, a quick scan with Divine Sense revealed that, apart from Su Qinghuan, who was trapped in the Thousand Secrets Sect and unable to escape, and Jiang Xianxian, who had already returned to Dafeng City, the other seven female protagonists had all arrived in Thousand Mechanisms Town.
A smile that could topple cities like Liu Ruyan, a captivating voice Xu Zhiyi, a dashing hat-wearing sister like Jiang Wan'er, and the most beautiful face like Qin Wanwan.
Popular actress Shen Wanyi, and the stunningly beautiful long-legged Guan Xuanxuan.
And Chen Xue, the domineering female CEO beside her.
