Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 190 You owe me this

Qingyu now possesses the power of the Phoenix. If Lu He can find a way to seize it, he can make up for the first mission.

As for the second task, it was naturally solved without much difficulty.

Gongzhan stole the Phoenix Power from Lu He's original storyline, preventing her from completing her mission. Naturally, he felt somewhat guilty and was willing to help her deal with Qingyu.

Moreover, he and Qingyu had a long-standing feud. He had told Lu He about what happened between him and Qingyu in the past two days.

Now let's shift our perspective to Gongzhan.

At that time, Gongzhan had just entered "Beast King" and soon after entering the pass, he met Qingyu, who was also a time traveler.

At that time, Qingyu not only saved him when he was in danger, but also treated him with kindness and care.

Gongzhan fell in love with her, and his affection for her became uncontrollable.

Qingyu, intentionally or unintentionally, had been assisting him, working towards helping him complete his mission. Everything was going smoothly.

Gongzhan once thought he had found love.

When all the opportunities were ripe, the two of them seized the chance to seize the power of the Crimson Phoenix.

Qingyu stabbed Gongzhan in the back without hesitation, almost killing him. It turned out that it was all for Chiyu's phoenix inner core. Chiyu was naturally dead in Qingyu's hands.

Taking advantage of Qingyu's attention being focused on Chiyu, Gongzhan disregarded the Phoenix Inner Core and struggled to drag his heavily injured body down the hillside. He plunged into the rushing river and drifted downstream until he reached Wanqingshan, where he finally survived.

Once his injuries had healed, in order to complete the Phoenix Power mission, Gongzhan had no choice but to infiltrate the Myriad Spirits Domain of the Mountain and Sea Continent. Based on the stories he knew, he found a common point with this continent: Hundred Steps Hill.

He infiltrated Baibuqiu, posing as Xiao Jiu, and silently waited for Zhi Yan to leave Baibuqiu and trigger the main storyline where she would meet the male protagonist, Tan You.

Unexpectedly, just as the main storyline was about to begin, Qin Wu's intrusion caused the matter of the Phoenix's inner core to be exposed prematurely and become known to the entire fox clan, which completely contradicted the main storyline.

At that time, Gongzhan suspected that Qinwu was not an NPC, but a time traveler.

After listening to Gongzhan's entire storyline, Lu He couldn't help but sigh, wondering how Qingyu could manipulate others as if she had a god's-eye view. There must be something fishy going on.

Now, Gongzhan wants to avenge the previous sword strike, while Lu He wants to obtain the power of the phoenix. The two hit it off immediately and decided to cooperate.

After discussing their strategy and making a series of preparations, the two returned to Illusion Moon Lake.

"Shen Yutong! Come out here!" Lu He shouted on the calm surface of Illusion Moon Lake.

Sure enough, the next second, Qingyu rushed out of the water and was right in front of her face.

"So you finally came back?" Qingyu's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"You killed my friend!" Lu He glared angrily, tears welling in her eyes.

"That fire fox is dead?" The tone was completely nonchalant, seemingly unperturbed by not getting the Nine-Tailed Fox. "So what if it's dead... just an NPC..."

"You're hopeless!" Lu He clenched her fists, looking quite angry.

Qingyu clearly didn't care about her questioning, or even that she was angry.

He just watched her with interest, wondering what new torturous tricks he was thinking of.

"Xiao He, although this body isn't yours, I can still see your original appearance in your demeanor and expressions. It's really interesting~"

"But I can't see any trace of Shen Yutong in your face. My Tongtong is dead!" Lu He knew exactly how to anger her, which was to stab her in the heart.

Lu He's purpose in coming to Illusion Moon Lake this time was to get close to Qing Yu.

"Shut up!" As expected, her expression changed instantly, and she pressed Lu He to the ground with one hand.

Her eyes flashed with anger, and her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was suppressing her inner rage, which could explode at any moment.

Lu He didn't struggle or resist, but just looked at her disdainfully, continuing to provoke her with a sharp and sarcastic tone: "What, are you afraid to face the fact that you're completely rotten? Do you even deserve the name Shen Yutong? You piece of trash!"

"I wonder if you'll still be able to curse in a moment..." Qingyu narrowed her eyes, grabbed Lu He's wrist, pulled it over her head, and pressed it to the ground.

His other hand reached down to her waist.

"Shen Yutong, are you crazy!" Lu He immediately understood what this beast was up to. How could she just stand here in the middle of nowhere...

Lu He's voice trembled; she hadn't expected this woman to have deteriorated to this extent.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"I know! I'll make you beg me!" Qingyu laughed maniacally, still unbuttoning her clothes.

"Shen Yutong, you're like a beast in heat! How could you hurt me a second time!" Lu He shouted at Qingyu, her voice trembling with disappointment.

Her hand stopped.

She froze.

Upon hearing these words, Qingyu seemed frozen in place.

Lu He was once her regret, but now she no longer feels that regret and guilt, but rather a deep sense of resentment.

"I've hurt countless people, but I've never hurt you." Her throat tightened, and she didn't know why things had turned out this way.

“Your leaving without saying goodbye is hurtful… You know that in your heart, why run away…” Lu He broke free from Qing Yu’s hand and sat up, while Qing Yu slumped to the side, still unable to get out of her emotions.

Shen Yutong and Lu He back then were just like Lu He and Xia Lan later on...

However, Lu He would never choose the path Shen Yutong took later.

"Why did you end up like this?" Lu He sighed, opening her arms as if to give Qingyu a hug.

"Do you hate me?" Qingyu looked at Lu He with some expectation. In fact, deep down, Lu He could still touch her most tender string.

"I hate you more than just... I've been trapped for ten years and can't get out of this..." Lu He's tears slid down, falling on the grass by the lake, and onto Qing Yu's cold heart.

Seeing Lu He's tears, Qingyu trembled, her heart aching. She leaned over and embraced Lu He.

Holding her beloved in her arms again was such a warm feeling. Qingyu closed her eyes and nestled against Lu He's chest.

Lu He also hugged her back.

With a surge of power in his palm, a powerful incantation was injected into Qingyu's back.

Qingyu suddenly opened her eyes, but before she could resist, she was immobilized in place by another talisman in Lu He's hand.

Lu He stood up, looking down at Qing Yu kneeling on the ground, wiping away the tears on her face: "This is what you owe me!"

After acting out their mutual affection for half a day, Lu He was really upset. It seems that acting out love to deceive people is a skill. Looking at Qing Yu, she really has a high talent for it.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gongzhan descended from the sky, unleashing a dazzling series of hand seals, and struck Qingyu on the back where she had just been struck by Lu He's talisman.

Qingyu spat out a mouthful of blood, and her inner core was ejected from her body, floating in front of everyone.

"The spell that Boss Qiuniu cast with demonic power is truly powerful," Gongzhan couldn't help but admire.

Previously, Qiuniu gave Lu He two talismans to suppress Qingyu's demonic power, and also lent him some demonic power from Gongzhan to help him extract Qingyu's inner core.

"Yunyi, you can show yourself now!" Lu He said to the leaf of the communication tool in his hand.

The leaves shimmered with golden light.

Soon Yunyi flew over and saw that Qingyu was trapped on the ground and could not move, only able to move her eyes. She immediately felt very happy.

This vicious woman actually tried to kill her.

"Quickly retrieve the Fire Feather," Lu He said to Yun Yi.

Yunyi nodded and quickly detected Huoyu's aura.

While Yunyi was retrieving the Fire Feather, Lu He swallowed Qingyu's inner core whole.

“This inner core is infused with the power of the phoenix. If you consume her inner core, you should have completed your mission, right?” Gongzhan analyzed.

They had previously considered that the Phoenix's inner core had been completely absorbed by Qingyu and could not be separated at all.

Although Lu He didn't want to kill her, he didn't intend to treat her well either. Taking away her inner core was actually a very mild punishment.
