Chapter 2: The Novel’s Heroine Is Love-brained
“Host, host, have you decided to complete the mission?”
Receiving no response for a long time, and seeing Ming Zhaoshuang begin her meditation cultivation, the system asked weakly.
Why is this host so difficult to manage? Her performance will be in vain again.
Ming Zhaoshuang felt a warmth in her dantian, as if something was gathering inside.
She knew her body was gathering spiritual energy to nourish herself.
She had to admit that although she disliked the fighting and killing in the cultivation world, she was extremely interested in cultivation. Every time she felt the spiritual energy spread throughout her body, she felt exceptionally comfortable both physically and mentally.
This feeling was surprisingly similar to her feelings about painting, which made Ming Zhaoshuang exclaim.
“Why else?”
Ming Zhaoshuang retorted lazily, “I’m already here, do I have a choice?”
The system weakly reminded her, “Host, you can actually choose to retire in a certain place in the cultivation world. The system will not interfere with any of your choices.”
“But you will change hosts.”
Ming Zhaoshuang pierced through it mercilessly, “Do you think I’m the type of person to quietly go back home and farm? Since I have you as a cheat, why should I give it to someone else?”
Receiving an affirmative answer and seeing Ming Zhaoshuang diligently cultivating, the system breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, “Then what do you plan to do next, Host?”
As a competent system, it had already thought of 108 ways to help the host ascend, guaranteeing that the host would become the fastest ascending person in the cultivation world in a hundred thousand years!
“Break off the engagement.”
Since her goal was not to romance the male protagonist but to ascend to immortality and save the harem, why keep this engagement?
If you don’t actively break off the engagement, your thinking is problematic.
The system praised her wildly, “Host, your thought process is too clear! You don’t even need me to remind you of the correct step to take. Is the host going to declare war on the male protagonist next, and step all over him in your future cultivation journey to show him who is the number one person in the cultivation world?”
Ming Zhaoshuang put her hand to her forehead, “Did the male protagonist offend me?”
The system was stunned, the system recovered, the system screamed, “My heavens, Host, your perspective has opened up! I thought you would be like other transmigration females and go around opposing the original male protagonist! I even prepared an evil plan to step on the male protagonist for you, guaranteed to crush him.”
Ming Zhaoshuang frowned, “Isn’t that because the original male protagonist offended other transmigration females?”
Otherwise, that crazy person would have killed the original male protagonist on sight.
If Qin Feilong had hindered Ming Zhaoshuang from completing her mission, she would have definitely taken action against the male protagonist too; she wasn’t Saint Mary.
But they haven’t even met yet. Why would she provoke the male protagonist? Was she crazy or mentally unstable to pick a fight with the Heavenly Dao’s favorite?
He wasn’t clashing with her main quest.
As soon as Ming Zhaoshuang finished speaking, she felt a chill descend upon her head.
Immediately, an arrow broke through the air and pierced straight through the curtain of the carriage she was in, whizzing past her temple.
“Aaaahhh! Assassin! Assassin!”
Before Ming Zhaoshuang could recover from the tense atmosphere, the system’s voice in her mind pierced through her eardrums, “How dare someone in the First Heaven make a move against the Ming Family’s convoy! Are they tired of living?!”
I have to say, the system was really noisy.
Ming Zhaoshuang, however, gripped the long sword in her hand, judging the attacker.
This arrow, passing through the carriage curtain, still managed to graze her temple. If the arrow’s owner intended to assassinate her, it meant they had superb archery skills. The original owner, after all, had a cultivation of late Foundation Establishment. Although the core had changed, the person’s aura was not revealed at all, indicating they were at least Golden Core Stage.
In the Lower Cultivation World, the Golden Core Stage was already a respectable cultivation level, and could even lead some minor sects.
And if the owner of this arrow merely intended to warn her, it further indicated that this person’s archery skills were extraordinary.
Ming Zhaoshuang looked at the letter tied to the arrow, her heart filled with coldness.
“Regarding this engagement breaking, I hope Miss Ming will pay attention to the gravity of the situation and not underestimate Qin Feilong. If you can save Qin Feilong’s face, I will offer a generous reward.”
“What is this?” the system hesitated.
“The female protagonist, Shen Liqian,” Ming Zhaoshuang said, looking at the delicate handwriting and spitting out a few words.
As everyone knows, besides a fiancée who looks down on the male protagonist, the Waste Dragon-like Arrogant Protagonist trope also features a Junior Sister who grew up with the male protagonist.
The Junior Sister’s deep affection is used to highlight the fiancée’s ruthlessness, the Junior Sister’s reasonableness to contrast with the fiancée’s unreasonable behavior, and the Junior Sister’s love with the male protagonist to emphasize the fiancée’s endless regret and lack of foresight.
Generally, this Junior Sister, no matter how many women the male protagonist has in his harem later on, will always hold a unique position in his heart.
Such a person is called the female protagonist.
And Shen Liqian is precisely this kind of Junior Sister, this kind of female protagonist.
After all, the male protagonist is currently a waste, and no one would be willing to offend the Ming Family for him, except for the female protagonist who remains loyal.
The relationship between Shen Liqian and the male protagonist can be considered the only genuine romantic storyline described in the novel “Feilong Ao Jiutian.”
However, it was also written poorly. Firstly, Shen Liqian is not just a Junior Sister of Ao Tian Sect in the Lower Cultivation World, but also the Eldest Young Lady of Lapis Lazuli Azure Sea in the Upper Cultivation World. Her status is not just a step above the male protagonist’s, yet she fell in love with the grassroots-like male protagonist.
Secondly, Shen Liqian possesses exceptional talent, even surpassing the male protagonist. The book never detailed her cultivation, but she could easily defeat any opponent she encountered.
However, whenever the male protagonist was around, she would nestle in his arms and obediently be protected by him.
Lastly, Shen Liqian not only loved the male protagonist but also showed no discomfort towards his other romantic interests, instead magnanimously accepting all the women.
She even took care of the other women during their childbirth and postpartum recovery, being incredibly virtuous.
Coupled with Shen Liqian’s beautiful appearance, she is the perfect dream lover for any man.
In front of the male protagonist, Shen Liqian was always gentle, generous, and understanding. She never expected that she would be able to pick up a longbow and shoot arrows at her, warning her not to go too far.
In the original novel, Shen Liqian’s archery skills were not described in detail, only that she was an excellent archer.
However, Shen Liqian is a Music Cultivator. Her weapon is a Konghou, and she usually uses melodies from behind the scenes to create a support field, becoming the male protagonist’s most outstanding piece of equipment.
But it must be said, Shen Liqian’s archery was excellent. She first sent an arrow to hint at the consequences, and then offered a generous reward to express her intentions. At such a young age, she could display both power and benevolence; she is indeed the novel’s female protagonist.
It’s just a pity that the novel’s female protagonist is love-brained.
