Get Lost Female Protagonist! I Choose the Villainess! - Chapter 61:

Chapter 61: Having Ling Kong’s Support Is Enough:

Jiang Ruoxi didn’t speak.

Of course, she couldn’t help but think about these things.

Why was it Xia Yuran and not someone else?

Why was it so important not to lose to Xia Yuran?

Was Ling Kong trying to get back at Xia Yuran?

Did Ling Kong actually like Xia Yuran before? Was he just competing with her out of spite?

Although Ling Kong had told her many things, and she genuinely tried not to mind, deep down, she still hoped that Ling Kong had always liked her and her alone.

“Ruoxi, do you trust me?” Ling Kong looked into her eyes.

“I trust you!” Jiang Ruoxi lifted her gaze to meet his.

“Then remember what I say.” Ling Kong said firmly, “I don’t want you to lose to her in any way, not because of anything between her and me, but for your own sake!”

“If you can beat her, and keep beating her, you’ll have beaten the entire world. Once you surpass the whole world, you’ll be in control of your own destiny!”

Xia Yuran was a child of destiny, blessed with fortune.

If Jiang Ruoxi could surpass her, there would be nothing she couldn’t achieve. Given Jiang Ruoxi’s background, only by surpassing Xia Yuran could she change her fate and avoid the destiny of being a villainess.

“Don’t think she’s weak now! Her progress will exceed everyone’s expectations. So… your goal is to never lose to her!” Ling Kong emphasized again.

He could rob her of her luck, but there was always the possibility that she might encounter other opportunities elsewhere.

She couldn’t afford to be careless!

“Okay, I understand!” Jiang Ruoxi nodded firmly.

Although she didn’t fully understand everything Ling Kong said, she believed him.

She believed that he wasn’t telling her to defeat Xia Yuran out of revenge, and she believed he truly had no feelings for Xia Yuran. She also believed that everything he said was for her benefit.

“Xia Yuran possesses a trait that no one else has.” Ling Kong said, his gaze distant.

“A trait?” Jiang Ruoxi asked, curious. Was it one of her strengths?

“Yes! That trait is called ‘luck.’” Ling Kong nodded lightly.

“Luck? Are you saying she’s lucky?” Jiang Ruoxi looked at Ling Kong. “Do you really believe in luck?”

In her eyes, there was no such thing as luck or fate. Everything was within one’s control. Humans could triumph over fate!

“I can’t afford not to believe it!” Ling Kong chuckled. “She has that kind of luck. Wherever she goes, luck follows.”

“For instance… back at the demonic beast valley, if we hadn’t followed her, we wouldn’t have encountered Xue’er or the Blood Spirit Fruit afterward.”

“Another example is the Blind Sword Pavilion. If it were anyone else, how could they achieve five consecutive perfect hits?”

“That’s her luck—her fortune.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoxi suddenly understood.

“It seems… there is something to that.” She furrowed her eyebrows.

Yes, it wasn’t so obvious in the valley, but in the Blind Sword Pavilion, achieving five consecutive hits—a probability of one in a hundred thousand—was indeed extraordinary. Could Ling Kong be right?

“So… is that why you followed her in the demonic beast valley? And why you competed with her for the sword furnace at the Blind Sword Pavilion?” Jiang Ruoxi’s expression softened, a smile forming on her lips.

Back in the valley, she had thought Ling Kong was provoking Xia Yuran out of spite. And at the Blind Sword Pavilion, she assumed he was intentionally trying to connect with Xia Yuran.

But it wasn’t like that?

It was all because Ling Kong knew Xia Yuran had that kind of luck?

Ling Kong smiled lightly and nodded.

“Then… I’m sorry for misunderstanding you all this time!” Jiang Ruoxi quickly apologized. She had always suspected there was something between Ling Kong and Xia Yuran. Now, that small knot in her heart was suddenly untied. She felt relieved and happy.

So, everything between Ling Kong and Xia Yuran was because he knew about her luck?

He just wanted to compete with Xia Yuran for her luck?

“Don’t overthink it. I’ve said there’s nothing between us, and that’s the truth.” Ling Kong gently pinched Jiang Ruoxi’s cheek. “So, as long as you defeat the luckiest person, you’ll have control over your own destiny!”

“Mm, I understand!” Jiang Ruoxi smiled and nodded. She felt much better now. She didn’t care so much about her own situation; she was more concerned about Ling Kong’s feelings for her.

“Keep working hard! Even though she has almost everyone’s support and luck on her side… you have my support!” Ling Kong said with a smile.

“Mm! I won’t disappoint you!” Jiang Ruoxi nodded lightly. Having Ling Kong’s support alone was enough for her. Even if the whole world stood against her, she was content.
