"What's wrong?"
Wang Haoran looked at the two women, and Luo Luo also gazed at them with questioning eyes.
Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang did not respond but instead walked over to Luo Luo and picked up the long sword at her waist.
The two approached Lin Ming, swords in hand.
"Lin Ming."
Lin Ming, lying on the ground groaning, heard the sound, rolled his eyes with difficulty, and saw two figures he fantasized about every night.
Hope suddenly sparked in him.
"Xinyan, please help me!"
"Teacher Liu, this bastard Wang Haoran wants to kill me, stop him quickly!"
"He's a devil!"
However, to Lin Ming's shock, as soon as he spoke, Xia Xinyan plunged the sword into his hand.
"Shut up, you bastard! How dare you call her Xinyan?!"
Liu Yunshuang sneered on the side.
"Lin Ming, you're really something! You even have this kind of superpower!"
"Before, you looked at me and Xiaoyan every day with those lewd eyes, and we even talked to you foolishly and cheerfully. You must have felt quite proud!"
Hearing Liu Yunshuang's words, Lin Ming momentarily ignored the pain.
At this point, he stopped hiding.
"You... how did you know? Impossible... absolutely impossible... I didn't tell anyone!"
Seeing Lin Ming's agitation, Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang's smiles widened, but their gazes grew colder.
Xia Xinyan raised her hand, withdrew her sword, and pointed it at Lin Ming's right eye.
A deep voice echoed.
"Why..."
She thrust down.
Her emotions finally burst out.
"Why, why, why, why, why..."
Raising the sword and thrusting down, repeatedly…
Xia Xinyan yelled furiously.
"Why did you look at us like that!"
"Why did you ruin our innocence!"
"Why did you do it!"
"You bastard, go blind, go blind, go blind..."
After her furious attack, Xia Xinyan handed the sword to Liu Yunshuang.
Liu Yunshuang followed her example, raising her sword repeatedly to stab Lin Ming's left eye, murmuring gently.
"Because of you, we're hated..."
"Go, die, die, die, die..."
Everyone else in the bamboo house was stunned.
Seeing Lin Ming's lifeless form, Wang Haoran, fearing he might miss his chance for a first kill, quickly stepped forward to pull Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang away.
Seeing their crazed expressions, he sighed inwardly. If he had known slandering Lin Ming would have such an effect, he wouldn't have been so detailed.
"You two, calm down!"
Hearing Wang Haoran's voice, both women turned to look at him.
Their faces were filled with grievance, as if on the verge of tears.
It seemed as though they felt deeply wronged by Lin Ming, able to vent their fury but not bear it.
And indeed, Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang felt this way.
Since regaining their memories, they'd felt extremely wronged.
They were angry, anxious, fearful, and hopeful.
They knew that Luo Luo and Ling'er had befriended Wang Haoran during the second encounter, while three other sisters had befriended him in the third. Only the two of them had come close to him in the fourth encounter.
Before Wang Haoran had warmed to them, he had been subjected to various schemes.
Now, they both loved and feared him.
This time, Wang Haoran used various means to please them (or so they thought), only to abandon the attempt halfway.
So they speculated that Wang Haoran had begun to dislike them after Luo Luo appeared.
The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Only they had endured Lin Ming's gaze and were the last to draw close to Wang Haoran.
If not for his resentment, why would this happen? Their charm was no less than that of the other sisters!
They felt both anger and frustration. It was all because of this beast on the ground!
And they felt aggrieved. Who could've known Lin Ming would have such a twisted power? How could they be blamed?
They didn't know what to do.
Yet, despite some fear of Wang Haoran, they followed him unhesitatingly. Upon learning that he was going to act against Lin Ming, they eagerly volunteered
Their attack on Lin Ming was not only an outlet for their grievances but also a way to show Wang Haoran their intention.
The two women looked at Wang Haoran with grievance, fear, and hope.
At this moment, Wang Haoran glanced at the faces of the two women, astonished once more.
[Xia Xinyan: Heroine
Strength: 80
Constitution: 90
Mental Power: 120 (chaos)
Affection: 100 (—120?)]
[Liu Yunshuang: Heroine
Strength: 100
Constitution: 100
Mental Power: 120 (chaos)
Affection: 100 (—120?)]
Then the system spoke.
[Host, listen to me...]
"System, are you saying that if I comfort them properly, their affection will stay at 100, but if I reject them harshly, it will drop to -20?"
[...Yes, the host is indeed clever. If you're even harsher, they will leave and hold a permanent grudge.]
"Alright, watch me!"
Wang Haoran raised his hand, pulled the trigger, and emptied the magazine in his hand.
Ding, ding—two system notifications.
After stripping Lin Ming of his last 50 points of protagonist halo, he also acquired the "clairvoyance" ability through the "seize" skill.
Lin Ming had two "golden fingers"; there's a 50% chance neither was warped.
After all this, Wang Haoran took Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang's hands.
He spoke firmly.
"I don't know what you're thinking, but now, everyone here is an accomplice to murder, and no one can escape!"
"Xiaoyan, Shuang'er, do you want to follow me down this dark path?"
Though his words were bold, his refreshing, handsome face and sincere gaze conveyed his "genuine" intentions.
As long as there's love, "I miss you" is also a beautiful sentiment.
Sure enough, after hearing Wang Haoran's words, Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang smiled happily.
The worries that had troubled them for days finally vanished. They nodded and hugged Wang Haoran tightly.
Wang Haoran glanced at their various stats once more before kissing them.
Their lips met in a deep embrace.
Luo Luo and Yun Ling'er looked on with smiles.
Only Wang Yuxiao felt helpless, deeply helpless.
She didn't know what was going on.
Why had such a well-suited fiancé left her out?
Was she now his accomplice?
What nonsense was this!
But of course, Wang Yuxiao wisely kept silent.
She knew that if she dared to raise objections, the giant-R loli holding the rope next to her would immediately deliver a kick.
