Free Web NovelChapter 91: Chapter 91: Returning to Lu Tingyan’s Side
When Bai Su woke up, she saw a message on the floating screen by her bed: "Rest easy. I’ve already notified Lu Tingyan to come pick you up, along with your children. I had to leave on urgent business and didn’t have time to say goodbye. Sorry."
Bai Su paused, her opinion of Yelias improving even more.
When she had read the novel, her main impression of Yelias was his flamboyant poses and... kinks...
She had almost forgotten that in the novel, Yelias himself was an extremely gentle, top-tier doctor, though his gentleness was reserved for the heroine alone.
Bai Su was a bit dazed and subconsciously touched the ring at her chest.
She suddenly recalled that when she jumped into the sea, she had felt a warmth around her neck as countless glowing spider silks burst from the ring, protecting her.
She had barely felt any impact when she hit the water.
This was supposed to be one of the heroine Bai Xue’s protagonist halos. The ring was her life-saving talisman and had saved her life many times when she was in danger.
The last time, at the hospital, she had triggered a hidden plotline.
Bai Su asked the system in her mind, ’When you said I could take back the protagonist’s halo, was it because Bai Xue is the one who stole my protagonist halo in the first place?’
The system hemmed and hawed, avoiding the question.
’There’s so much it can’t say! It involves sensitive keywords!’
Bai Su was smart. ’I know even if you don’t tell me.’
’Back then, Bai Xue was just a mere Level 2 Beastman, and she wasn’t favored in the Bai family.’
’For her sake, her mother, Rachel, would naturally find a way to help her daughter.’
’That’s why they used my birthday to frame me. They made me offend the world’s four most powerful men all at once, leading to my conviction, and then they seized the opportunity to take my womb.’
’In this world, a female’s worth is determined by her fertility. The protagonist halo you mentioned... that’s my fertility, isn’t it?’
’When Bai Xue stole my womb, she was actually stealing my protagonist halo.’
’At first, I found it strange. If this world was my reward, why was I given the role of a cannon-fodder side character?’
’Now I suddenly understand. In this novel, I was the one who was supposed to be the heroine, wasn’t I? But due to a bizarre twist of fate, Bai Xue stole my halo and fortune, turning her into the novel’s heroine instead.’
’This world you rewarded me with... you actually want to use me to take back the protagonist halo and set this world right, don’t you?’
The system was bawling its eyes out. ’...’
’It hadn’t said a single word! Bai Su figured it all out herself!’
’It knew it shouldn’t have picked someone so smart.’
A glint flashed in Bai Su’s eyes. ’So those male leads were originally mine.’
Bai Xue had stolen something that never belonged to her in the first place.
No wonder the system kept egging her on to fight Bai Xue for the men.
No wonder a mere cannon-fodder side character like her was able to give birth to the four male leads’ children and even raise them.
She feared that her four children were also meant to have bright, glorious futures, but they were implicated because her protagonist halo had been stolen.
And ended up as villains...
Bai Su sat up in bed, closed her eyes, and began to check on her clone.
Li Chenlin was holding the clone, the two of them inseparable and clinging to each other.
Bai Su asked the system, ’What’s Li Chenlin’s affection level for me now?’
System: ’It’s already extremely high, nearing soulmate level. He’s utterly devoted to you, head over heels in love.’
Bai Su let out a cold laugh. ’Excellent.’
Aboard the cruise ship, Li Chenlin was holding Bai Su, sunbathing.
The little rabbit yawned lazily, staring blankly as she entered standby mode.
Li Chenlin planned their future beside her. "Susu, will you marry me when we get back to the Southern Country?"
"This sea will be my dowry. All my businesses in the underworld will also be my dowry. As long as you want it, everything I have is yours."
"Susu, I really love you."
"It doesn’t matter if you bear me an heir or not. If worst comes to worst, I’ll just drag that Bai Xiaoshe fellow back to inherit my businesses."
"It would be even better if we don’t have children. We could live on like this forever in a world of our own, just you and me..."
Perceiving Li Chenlin’s words through her clone, Bai Su couldn’t help but sneer.
She took control of the clone and made it stand up.
The little rabbit in Li Chenlin’s arms stretched lazily and strolled over to the deck’s railing. "Li Chenlin, do you know how I’ve been feeling these past few days?"
Li Chenlin watched her dotingly. "How have you been feeling?"
The little rabbit’s docile expression vanished, replaced by a cold, disgusted stare. "I just feel sick. Every single time you touch me, I feel so disgusted I want to throw up."
"Snakes truly are the most disgusting creatures in the world, and you’re in a class of your own." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The smile faded from Li Chenlin’s face. He pressed his lips together, staring at her. "What’s wrong with you?"
The little rabbit scoffed. "What’s wrong with me? A person like you who doesn’t even understand the first thing about love and respect has the gall to talk to me about love?"
"Li Chenlin, I could have had a peaceful, happy life. You’re the one who ruined me."
With that, she turned and resolutely leaped off the deck.
Li Chenlin’s pupils instantly constricted into vertical slits. "Susu!"
He lunged forward, rapidly shifting back into his beast form. His massive snake head plunged down, trying to save her.
But the little rabbit just stared at him coldly, her eyes filled with the thrill of imminent release. Without hesitation, she released her spiritual power and self-detonated, blowing her body to smithereens.
The fragmented pieces of her corpse fell into the water and were immediately swarmed and devoured by a passing school of fish.
Li Chenlin’s mind went blank. The image of Bai Su resolutely releasing her spiritual power to self-detonate just moments ago replayed in his mind over and over.
In the deep-sea submarine, Bai Su’s eyes snapped open. She felt her own body.
This was the first time she had made a clone explode. She had withdrawn her sensory link the instant it blew up, but she could still feel a tightness in her chest.
But it didn’t matter. Seeing Li Chenlin’s shocked and grief-stricken expression, she felt an incredible sense of satisfaction.
Her faked death wasn’t to make it so Li Chenlin couldn’t find her; it was purely to make him suffer.
’That damned Li Chenlin. This is only the beginning.’
’I’ll make him experience what it feels like to wish for death, again and again!’
But for now, she had to go back.
Li Chenlin had taken her smart device, so she couldn’t even get online right now.
Her fans must be worried sick, and her patrons, too.
And the Beastmen from the Disabled Tribe.
She had only just promised to cook for them, and now she’d been on strike for so many days...

Yelias had been right. The submarine brought her to shore, where Lu Tingyan and the little ones were already waiting, craning their necks in anticipation.
Seeing Bai Su emerge from the submarine completely unharmed, Lu Tingyan was the first to rush forward, sweeping her into a full embrace. "Susu!"
His voice trembled with the relief of having her back.
The two little ones also lunged forward, hugging her legs.
Bai Su hugged Lu Tingyan back.
He looked much more haggard. He was scruffy and unshaven, and the fur on his ears and tail had lost its shine.
The two little ones looked quite haggard as well. The baby fat she had worked so hard to put on them had completely vanished.
Their chins were sharp. They no longer looked like cute little boys, but rather quite dashing.
