At the Beginning, the Villain Forcibly Marries the Female Lead and Shatters the Protagonist’s Mindset - Chapter 2:

Chapter 2: Furious Retorts at the Destiny Protagonist! Lottery Function Unlocked.

At this moment, the vast athletic field was so silent that even a needle dropping to the ground could be heard clearly.

Looking at Xu Qingzhi standing tall and elegant at the center of the field, all the teachers and students stared as if they had seen a ghost. Their eyes were wide as copper bells, and they rubbed them repeatedly, afraid they were seeing the wrong person.

Was this really Young Master Xu, the number one simp of the Royal Capital?

Not only had he publicly rebuked their Goddess Luo, he had even subtly called her a white-eyed wolf.

Am I dreaming?

As for Luo Qianyan, the person who had just been called a white-eyed wolf, she froze in disbelief and stared at Xu Qingzhi.

His face was cold, the corner of his lips slightly raised with a hint of mockery. The obsessive affection that once filled his eyes was now completely gone.

Luo Qianyan’s expression shifted from arrogance, to shock, to anger. Her flawless fair face flushed red in an instant.

As the recognized campus belle of Royal Capital No.1 Martial Arts High School, she had always been surrounded by admiration.

Especially after Young Master Xu publicly pursued her, she had received endless envious gazes and had risen to the top of the Royal Capital campus belle rankings, basking in glory.

But now, the gazes around her were filled with sympathy, ridicule, and amusement.

She felt like a monkey in a zoo, being publicly judged.

Her face burned as if set on fire. She was furious inside, yet she could not find a single word to refute him.

Fortunately, just as she felt at a loss, a resolute-looking young man walked straight into her line of sight. A hint of joy immediately appeared on her face.

“Xu Qingzhi, what right do you have to speak to Qianyan like that?”

After giving Luo Qianyan a reassuring look that said, “Leave it to me,” the resolute young man turned to Xu Qingzhi and spoke sharply.

“Have you forgotten that the so-called engagement and betrothal gifts were all your own wishful thinking? What does that have to do with Qianyan?”

That familiar voice and tone.

Xu Qingzhi did not even need to look to know that the person who had caused his ninety-nine cycles of rebirth had arrived—

Lin Feng.

[Ding! Destiny Protagonist detected—Lin Feng.]

[Bind?]

“Bind.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qingzhi responded in his heart.

[Ding! Binding successful.]

Only after the binding was complete did Xu Qingzhi slowly raise his eyes to look at Lin Feng.

This face had appeared before him countless times, each time taking everything from him with righteous excuses and invincible arrogance.

In so many sleepless midnights, it was always this face that haunted him.

Unlike Xu Qingzhi’s flawless appearance, Lin Feng was the typical “waste-turned-protagonist.” His looks were ordinary, though the firm light in his eyes set him apart from the crowd.

In the original novel, it was precisely that bitter, determined aura that had attracted the female lead Luo Qianyan.

If your eyes don’t work, you should donate them to someone who needs them.

Xu Qingzhi let out a soft laugh and said, “Speaking of what right, I’d like to ask you—what right do you have to talk to your sponsor like that?”

“Sponsor? You? Xu Qingzhi, have you lost your mind today?” Lin Feng laughed.

The teachers and students watching on the field also looked confused.

They naturally believed that Xu Qingzhi had pursued Luo Qianyan for years, given away countless betrothal gifts, and helped the Luo family regain their position among the great families of the Royal Capital.

But Lin Feng and Xu Qingzhi had never gotten along.

After all, everyone knew Lin Feng was the biggest obstacle on Xu Qingzhi’s path to success.

He had risen step by step from being recognized as a waste with stagnant qi and blood to becoming unstoppable, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Just a few days ago, he had even taken Xu Qingzhi’s long-held position as the number one student in the school.

Not to mention the rumors on campus that Luo Qianyan’s true feelings were actually for Lin Feng.

With such a hostile relationship, how could Xu Qingzhi possibly be his sponsor?

Seeing the doubt around him, Xu Qingzhi remained calm. The curve of his lips only became more mocking.

“Heh. Have you forgotten how you rose from a waste with stagnant qi and blood?”

“Let me guess… Dragon Blood Grass?”

As soon as those words came out, Lin Feng’s smile froze. How does he know?

But Xu Qingzhi was not finished.

“Let me guess again… that Dragon Blood Grass was given to you by Luo Qianyan, right?”

As he spoke, he slowly turned to look at Luo Qianyan, the corner of his lips curling slightly, his gaze playful.

Feeling his eyes on her, Luo Qianyan’s expression faltered. She instinctively avoided his gaze.

She did not answer, but silence was the clearest answer of all.

Lin Feng was equally stunned.

It was not that he did not know the Dragon Blood Grass had originally come from Xu Qingzhi. What shocked him was how Xu Qingzhi knew such a hidden matter.

Seeing their tacit admission, the entire athletic field erupted in an uproar. The gazes directed at this newly risen genius of the school became subtle and complicated.

[Negative emotions from Lin Feng +50!]

Xu Qingzhi felt delighted inside, but he had no intention of stopping.

“So this is the legendary rise of a waste? The so-called grassroots genius?”

“As expected of my fiancée. What sharp insight and generosity.”

Two sentences, two wounds.

[Negative emotions from Lin Feng +80!]

[Negative emotions from Lin Feng +100!]

Oh? Two waves in a row?

Xu Qingzhi was slightly surprised.

Luo Qianyan was not a bound target, so he could not receive her negative emotions. Lin Feng had made up for it.

And the second time, when he teased Luo Qianyan, the negative emotions were even higher than when he teased Lin Feng himself.

As expected of the official protagonist couple.

Interesting.

Xu Qingzhi seemed to realize something. The corners of his lips slowly rose into a meaningful smile.

At that moment, Lin Feng spoke again.

“Xu Qingzhi, a life is at stake. As long as you are willing to take out the 7th-grade Jade Soul Grass to save Aunt Luo, I, Lin Feng, will repay you in the future. I will also return that Dragon Blood Grass to you.”

His gaze remained firm, and in the middle of speaking, he did not forget to cast an affectionate look at Luo Qianyan.

Luo Qianyan’s eyes filled with tears of emotion.

“Brother Feng… you don’t have to lower yourself like this for him… it’s not worth it…”

“No, Qianyan, for you, I am willing. I am willing to do anything.”

Just as the two of them gazed at each other tenderly—

“Ugh…”

An untimely sound rang out.

Xu Qingzhi waved his hand and said, “It’s fine, continue. I haven’t watched a melodramatic romance in a long time. I’m just not used to it. I’ll feel better after throwing up for a bit.”

Laughter erupted among the students on the field.

Luo Qianyan fell silent.

Lin Feng fell silent.

[Negative emotions from Lin Feng +120!]

“What? Did I disturb you? Then I’ll leave. You two continue.”

Xu Qingzhi blinked and turned as if to walk away.

“Wait!”

Seeing that he was truly about to leave, Lin Feng panicked. He had assured Luo Qianyan to leave this matter to him.

“Xu Qingzhi, are you going to stand by and watch someone die?”

Oh? Now you’re trying moral coercion?

But… I’m a villain. Why would I need morals?

Amused, Xu Qingzhi turned back with a look of confusion and said, “Stand by and watch someone die? Who? Who am I watching die?”

[Negative emotions from Lin Feng +10!]

“Who else could it be but you?” Lin Feng almost ground his teeth as he spoke.

Xu Qingzhi looked puzzled. “Didn’t I agree to give it? I just require appropriate payment.”

“What? Does the great grassroots genius not understand such a simple principle? Seeing a doctor requires consultation fees. Harvest requires effort.”

Before Lin Feng could respond, Xu Qingzhi shook his head thoughtfully and continued, “Then again, your Dragon Blood Grass came without effort.”

“That was my oversight. Why work hard for rewards when living off others is so much easier?”

This time, the crowd could not hold back and burst into laughter.

[Negative emotions from Lin Feng +366!]

[Negative emotions from Lin Feng +250!]

[Negative emotions from Lin Feng +233!]
