Free Web NovelChapter 248: Chapter 248: From Friend to Enemy
Lin En paced her room, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. Suddenly, she stopped as she was hit by a memory from the past.
She remembered meeting that woman at the Temple.
At that time, Lin En hadn’t regained her memories of her past life yet. She remembered seeing a female so soft and flawless that she looked like the moon itself.
Back then, Lin En had been so stupidly naive. She actually thought Yue Yue was a pure female and felt sympathy for her.
"I was such a fool!" Lin En screamed, slapping her own forehead. "I actually tried to be her friend! I was happy for her!"
She remembered how everyone at the Temple was talking about Yue Yue having an S+++ rank ability.
Instead of being jealous, the "past" Lin En had been excited to have a friend with such high caliber. Now, remembering that kindness made her want to vomit.
If she had known that bitch was the same one who would steal her man, she would have slapped her that time.
"She was a thief from the very beginning," Lin En hissed, her nails digging into her palms.
"She stood there looking so innocent while she was preparing to steal my destiny. I should have strangled her the moment I saw her."
Then, her thoughts shifted to the news of the Land Empire.
She thought of Xing Luoye and Xing Luoguang.
Just thinking about how they had brutally taken down an entire empire by themselves made her heart race. They were so handsome, so cool, and so powerful.
"They are exactly the kind of men who should be bowing to me," she said with a smug, delusional smile.
"Even if they are with that snake female right now, I will be generous. Once they see me again, I will let them join my harem. They just need a real woman to lead them, not that boring fake girl."
But then, her expression darkened as she thought of the Second Prince of the Land Empire. That dead bastard had failed her.
Lin En was the one who had leaked the information to him! When Yue Yue had vanished on the day she was supposed to marry the High Priest, no one could find her.
But Lin En had her System. The System told her exactly where Yue Yue was hiding: Dune City.
"I gave that filthy prince the tip," Lin En muttered, pacing faster.
"I wanted him to capture Yue Yue so she would be out of my way. I thought he was smart enough to steal her under the noses of those twin brothers. But he was a useless moth! He couldn’t even keep a single female locked up, and now he’s dead."
She felt a small shiver of fear. If Xing Luoguang found out she was the one who leaked the location, she would be in trouble.
The last time she saw Xing Luoguang, his eyes were so fierce she felt like he could swallow her whole.
"No, no," she shook her head, trying to convince herself.
"He wouldn’t kill me. He just hasn’t spent enough time with me. He doesn’t know my charm yet. Once he sees how much better I am than that lowly snake, he will realize his mistake. He will crawl back to me."
She looked into the mirror, adjusting her hair and putting on a practiced, beautiful smile. In her mind, she was the center of the universe.
She truly believed that all five men... Han Soi, Feng Yanshen, Cang Yuze, and the twins were only "confused" by Yue Yue’s white-lotus act.
"They are mine," she whispered to her reflection.
"They have always been mine. I am the leading female of this world. Yue Yue is just a temporary glitch in the system. I will go to the Sea Empire, and I will take back what is mine by right."
She didn’t care about the Griffins or the Snake heir. ƒreewebɳovel.com
To her, those were just mistakes that she would fix later.
All she could think about was the five men looking at her with the same adoration they currently gave to Yue Yue. She was obsessed, and in her head, the victory was already hers.
Lin En stood in front of the large transparent panel that served as a mirror, admiring her own reflection.
The soft ambient lights highlighted her graceful figure and long, silky hair perfectly.
She turned slightly, pleased with how elegant and beautiful she looked. No one could compare to her. She was the real female lead, the one who deserved everything.
Suddenly, she heard steady footsteps approaching from outside the room. Her body tensed for a moment.
A flash of disdain crossed her eyes when she recognized who it was.
It was Shao Han, the crown prince of the Sand Empire.
In her heart, she immediately compared him to Feng Yanshen. He was nowhere near as powerful or attractive as the five men she truly wanted.
But right now, he was her only anchor. She could not afford to anger him.
She quickly hid the disdain and replaced it with a sweet, coquettish smile.
As Shao Han entered the room, she moved gracefully toward him and leaned into his arms, pressing her body softly against his.
"Shao Han," she said in a soft, pitiful voice, her fingers slowly tracing circles over his chest.
"I just felt so lonely. I suddenly missed my family so much."
"It has been so long...I have seen them; will they miss me too?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Shao Han’s expression softened immediately. Before he could speak, Lin En pointed at the small floating beast hiding in the corner.
"And this beast is nothing good," she complained, her voice turning slightly tearful.
"It even tried to bite my finger earlier."
She was lying, of course.
The poor little beast had done nothing wrong. It had only been hit by the porcelain glass she herself had thrown in her rage.
But the small creature could only whimper softly, too scared and beaten to explain or defend itself.
Shao Han’s eyes widened, then turned deadly cold as he glared at the floating beast.
The little beast shrank back in terror, letting out a tiny, helpless sound.
"Chirp..."
He didn’t do anything; this female is so evil. Not only did she beat him and throw things on him, but now she was also blaming him falsely.
