Get Lost Female Protagonist! I Choose the Villainess! - Chapter 8:

Chapter 8: You Actually Teamed Up with That Witch?:

“I…” Bai Feng frowned immediately. What was wrong with Ling Kong’s mind? Speaking so bluntly, without any regard for others’ feelings?

The surrounding disciples were all stunned.

What was this?

What happened to Ling Kong?

Why was he acting this way all of a sudden?

Criticizing Xia Yuran in front of so many people?

Bai Feng and the others couldn’t believe it either.

Ling Kong’s behavior was out of character. He used to have a good relationship with Bai Feng and the others, and he used to care deeply for Xia Yuran.

Saying such things publicly would leave Xia Yuran humiliated.

Jiang Ruoxi was also very curious. The issue between Ling Kong and Xia Yuran seemed serious.

Did this mean her chances with Ling Kong had increased?

Could it be that the things Ling Kong said to her a few days ago weren’t just said in anger?

“Enough, stop talking! Everyone, just stop!” Xia Yuran stepped forward, pulling Bai Feng and the others back. “Ling Kong! Remember what you said, don’t regret it later!” She shot Ling Kong a cold glare and led Bai Feng and the others away.

Ling Kong had indeed gone too far this time. Calling her disgusting was one thing, but saying such degrading words in front of everyone?

She felt like her face had been trampled on! She was a girl, how could she be spoken to like this?

This time, she was truly angry.

Even if Ling Kong knelt and begged for forgiveness, she wouldn’t forgive him easily!

She couldn’t believe he was this jealous.

Just keep pretending, let’s see who gives in first! Let’s see who ends up apologizing!

“Ling Kong, we’ll settle this in the Grand Valley!” Li Junting couldn’t resist leaving a parting threat. They couldn’t fight here, but in the Grand Valley, it would be easier. After all, students were allowed to fight over hunting results, as long as no one got killed.

With Xia Yuran and her group distancing themselves from Ling Kong, everything quieted down.

Everyone was filled with surprise and curiosity.

What exactly had happened between Ling Kong and Xia Yuran?

Things didn’t seem simple at all.

The female disciples, naturally nosy, were especially intrigued by gossip about Ling Kong. They wanted to know what had happened, and whether they still had a chance with him.

As time passed, all the disciples of the sect had gathered.

On the high platform at the front of the square stood the high-ranking members of the sect.

“Have all the high-level magical beasts been driven away?” Sect Master Yun Jian asked the crowd.

“All magical beasts with a combat power above Tier 2 have been driven away and isolated! The strongest beasts left in the Grand Valley have a combat power no higher than the 9th stage Spirit Tempering Realm!”

“Good!” Yun Jian nodded and turned to the thousands of disciples of the sect. “All disciples, hear my command! The annual hunting competition of Sword Cloud Sect begins now! I won’t repeat the rules! You can fight during the competition, but killing is prohibited! Now, all disciples, organize your teams and equipment! The competition is about to start!”

Yun Jian’s voice echoed through the vast sect grounds.

The disciples were all eager, forming their small teams.

In the crowd, Jiang Ruoxi stood alone. She had no teammates, and she didn’t need any. She had always been isolated, and she was used to it. Being alone was just fine. But this time…

As Jiang Ruoxi was about to continue alone, a figure approached her. It was Ling Kong!

“I just happen to need a teammate.” Ling Kong said with a faint smile.

Jiang Ruoxi was stunned!

Ling Kong actually wanted to team up with her?

He wasn’t teaming up with Xia Yuran, but with her?

What had happened between Ling Kong and Xia Yuran?

Was Ling Kong using her to make Xia Yuran jealous?

“Is it really okay?” Jiang Ruoxi bit her red lip. She didn’t know the reason, but this was the outcome she desired most. To team up with Ling Kong, and to be his only teammate! It felt like a two-person world, hunting magical beasts together in the Grand Valley, facing challenges side by side.

“It’s a perfect fit, isn’t it?” Ling Kong replied.

Honestly, Jiang Ruoxi was the best match for him in every way, both inside and out. They were truly meant for each other. Xia Yuran was nothing compared to her.

“Yes! Just don’t look down on me!” Jiang Ruoxi returned Ling Kong’s smile, her smile making everything else seem dull in comparison.

“If I looked down on you, I’d have to look down on the entire world!” Ling Kong joked.

In terms of strength, apart from him, she was the strongest among the disciples. In terms of beauty and temperament, she was the best.

If he looked down on her, who would he not look down on?

Jiang Ruoxi smiled. Ling Kong’s words were exactly what she wanted to hear.

Even if it was just because he had a fight with Xia Yuran, she would cherish this moment, whether it was short-lived or permanent.

The sight of Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi standing together caught the attention of the surrounding disciples.

“Wow! They teamed up. They’re standing together?”

“They actually look quite compatible!”

“Both have unique personalities and great strength. They really do match!”

“Sigh, only Ling Kong can get close to our goddess.”

Everyone knew that no one could approach Jiang Ruoxi, except Ling Kong.

Not far away, Xia Yuran and her group also noticed Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi.

“Ling Kong! You bastard, you actually teamed up with that witch?” Xia Yuran gritted her teeth in anger!
