I Am The Villain's Lackey With Sign-in System - Chapter 72:

Chapter 72: Plot Hint? If I Don’t Ask, You Won’t Tell Me, Right?:

“Snort!”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, but he couldn’t even explain why. He stormed off immediately!

…

“Sister Danxue!”

In the room, Fu Zhi didn’t care about Zhang Ning’s situation at all. Instead, she turned to Yin Danxue and said, “It must be hard for you to put up with such a disgusting guy every day!”

Fu Zhi felt that if she had to deal with it, she wouldn’t be able to tolerate him for even a moment!

“As long as I avoid him as much as possible, it’s okay!” Yin Danxue already had a plan. She stayed in her room most of the time, so she rarely ran into him, which helped her avoid the irritation.

“Tsk!”

Fu Zhi rolled her eyes and dropped the topic.

Unconcerned, she laid down on Yin Danxue’s bed. After all, they had been best friends growing up, and they were very comfortable around each other.

“Sister Danxue, do you think I’m a female lead too?” Fu Zhi asked, a bit doubtful of herself.

“What do you mean?” Yin Danxue looked a bit confused, not sure why Fu Zhi suddenly brought this up.

“I barely even get a chance to show up!” Fu Zhi replied with a frustrated look. “If I’m supposed to be a female lead, I should have my own moments, right? But nothing like that has happened yet. Sometimes I wonder if I’m really a female lead at all!”

Originally, Fu Zhi had hoped that her own plot might give her a chance to meet Ye Liuyun. She had always been curious about him, but there had never been a good opportunity to connect with him.

“Don’t worry! The chance will come.” Yin Danxue said, smiling gently at Fu Zhi.

Though there was no opportunity now, Yin Danxue believed there would be one in the future, and Fu Zhi would have her own moments to shine.

“Fine!” Fu Zhi sighed, feeling somewhat reassured by Yin Danxue’s words, even if there was nothing else to say.

…

Meanwhile…

After leaving, Zhang Ning expected his anger to subside, but instead, it only grew worse. He felt restless, frustrated, and couldn’t figure out why.

“Could it be that I’m just too interested in Fu Zhi?” he wondered, reflecting on how these feelings started after seeing her.

Perhaps his body longed for her presence, he thought.

After all, Fu Zhi was indeed a beautiful woman with a captivating appearance.

“If she dislikes me, maybe I should do something grand, like rescuing her. That should win her over!”

With this plan in mind, Zhang Ning saw his options as limited. He thought that playing the hero might be the quickest way to charm her.

As the young master of the Dragon King Palace, finding a few people to play villains would be easy enough.

With that thought, he didn’t hesitate and dialed Yan Man’s number.

“Huh? I can’t get through?” He was confused, wondering if he had been blocked. But then he reasoned that Yan Man might just be busy. If she wasn’t available, he could always ask others in the Dragon King Palace for help!

With that, Zhang Ning immediately called Yang Shen.

…

On the other side…

Yang Shen was already planning on how to get rid of Zhang Ning.

Seeing Zhang Ning’s call, he was slightly surprised but answered it.

“Young Master?”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Young Master, please rest assured.” He replied calmly, his tone betraying no hint that he had just killed the old Dragon King.

After the call, Long Tian, who had been watching, asked curiously, “What was that about?”

Yang Shen explained with a smirk, “He wants to do a ‘hero saves the beauty’ scene, so he’s asking us to send some people to act as villains.”

“Hero saves the beauty?” Long Tian was just as surprised, but then he chuckled. This could be useful. “Well, you must have some reliable people for this job, right?”

Yang Shen understood the implications immediately. “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it. I’ve got a few trusted men for this type of task.”

“Perfect!” Long Tian laughed, clearly pleased. “This will be a good test. If all goes well, we could even use this as an opportunity to eliminate the young master once and for all.”

Yang Shen nodded in agreement. “Understood. I’ll make preparations.”

Long Tian decided to take advantage of this time to hunt down a few more souls to complete his “Hundred Evil True Form,” which required the souls of a hundred people. He wasn’t done yet, but he was close.

“Just be careful!” Yang Shen advised, watching him leave. Yang Shen’s eyes briefly flickered with clarity before his ambition took over again. Long Tian’s aura was strong, and it wouldn’t be easy to challenge him.

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere…

Although Ye Liuyun generally enjoyed a leisurely life, he found it incredibly frustrating at the moment.

“This plot is all over the place!” he muttered, clearly annoyed. “How am I supposed to sign in to the plot if I can’t even predict what’s next?”

Listening to his complaints, the female leads around him exchanged knowing smiles. They hadn’t expected to see him this agitated.

“System, just give me something to go on! I need somewhere to sign in. Is there any way to fix this mess?”

At this moment, Ye Liuyun had no other options.

Who else could he turn to but his own system?

[If the host needs it, the system can activate plot prompts!]

Ye Liuyun hadn’t expected this response; he had only wanted to vent a bit. He never thought the system could actually help!

Sitting up from the sofa, he was immediately curious.

[What is this plot prompt? What’s it for?]

[Does it mean you’ll remind me when there’s a new plot happening?]

Some of the female leads around him were curious, too. Then again, considering Ye Liuyun was something of a cheat character, it wasn’t surprising that he’d have these abilities.

The system replied, [Yes. If a plot is about to unfold, the system can alert the host and mark the location. But that’s all—it can only mark the spot. The system can’t predict the exact details of the plot content.]

[What! This function existed all along? Why didn’t you mention it sooner!]

Ye Liuyun felt shocked.

If he had known about this, he wouldn’t have had to struggle with guessing plot details!

[The system has always had this function. The host just never asked.] It replied

Ye Liuyun went silent, feeling slightly annoyed.

[If I don’t ask, can’t you just tell me yourself?]

[Sure enough, this system really has no initiative!]

Seeing him complain like this, the female leads couldn’t help but laugh. But all in all, this discovery was good news. Ye Liuyun quickly took advantage of the situation, enabling all plot prompts from this quirky system. Now, whenever something happened, he’d know exactly where to go!

Just as he finished, a prompt sounded: [A plot event has been detected, and the location has been marked for the host.]

Suddenly, a futuristic map appeared in his vision, with a red dot marking the plot’s location.

[Another plot? That fast?] He was doubtful, but then decided: [Even if I don’t know what’s coming, I’ll find out soon enough!]

A plot meant a chance to sign in, and Ye Liuyun wasn’t about to miss it!

Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang—it was Zhou Kaifeng.

“What is it?” Ye Liuyun asked, a bit confused but still answering.

From the other end, Zhou Kaifeng’s slightly dramatic voice echoed, “Brother Ye~”

[What’s with this?]

Ye Liuyun cringed, instantly regretting picking up. He felt goosebumps all over.

“Brother Ye, I’m so bored. How about I come find you, and we hang out?” Zhou Kaifeng suggested.

“I’m busy right now!” Ye Liuyun replied flatly. He had a plot to catch, and there was no way he’d let Zhou Kaifeng ruin it.

“Then I’ll join you, Brother Ye!”

Zhou Kaifeng seemed oblivious, insisting on tagging along since he had nothing better to do.

“Brother Ye~” He continued, not taking the hint.

[Believe it or not, I’ll end you right now!] Ye Liuyun thought, frustrated.

Zhou Kaifeng has been becoming more and more peculiar lately.

What would his billionaire father think if he saw him acting like this?

“Fine!” Ye Liuyun finally gave in, worried he’d never be left alone otherwise. He shared the location.

After all, [Kaifeng’s current target is Zhang Ning, and this plot might have something to do with Zhang Ning. I wonder what kind of drama will unfold!]

As Ye Liuyun thought about it, he grew more curious, almost eagerly.

[Wait, why am I looking forward to this?]

[Is something wrong with me?]

Realizing this, he shrugged, then headed out without giving it much thought.

Except for Yan Man, who knew the full situation, most of the female leads around him smiled knowingly. They seemed amused that Ye Liuyun had finally realized he was acting strangely.

Yan Man mused, “Honestly, what happened last time was a bit much!” She suspected that Zhou Kaifeng’s changes were all because of a certain incident. Over time, Kaifeng seemed to be growing more feminine, at least mentally, while still appearing as a man on the outside.

Although Yan Man understood it was partially her fault, she had no plans to help Zhou Kaifeng recover. After all, Ye Liuyun found the whole situation entertaining, so from Yan Man’s perspective, there was no need to intervene!
