Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads' Personas Collapse-Chapter 214

Chapter 214

Soon, new visitors arrived.

It was Cao Zijin, along with Zhu Yeqing and a few others.

Liu Feifei clung to the bars, crying dramatically, “Brother, I’ll miss you! You have to take care of yourself in there. Your collectibles and snacks—I’ll keep them safe for you.”

“I’m here to reflect, not dead. Get that straight.”

Liu Feifei said, “I’m just joking to cheer you up. Look at you.”

Cao Zijin said, “This matter isn’t easy to handle. It’s a bit tricky. The other party is Nangong Qingyan.”

“I know, so even Father can’t do much. I’ll have to go apologize in person later. Sigh, we’ll deal with it. Damn Qian Daode, I fell for it.”

Cao Zijin said, “How about I find a chance to deal with him?”

“No rush. I can target the Qian family too. Don’t worry, not one of them will get away.”

At this moment, Liu Feifei pulled out a deck of cards and said, “Let’s play cards together to keep Brother company for a bit.”

Chen Fan’s face darkened. He grabbed the blanket, walked to a corner, covered himself, and went to sleep.

So annoying. You women are toxic, aren’t you?

Cao Zijin said, “Alright, stop teasing him. Let’s go. Zhu Yeqing, you saw, right? Your young master is fine. Don’t be so petty.”

“I know. Young Master, stay warm. When you get out, I’ll make you something delicious.”

“Got it, now scram.”

If it were anyone else, they’d probably have lost it by now. But with Chen Fan, it all made sense.

In fact, Chen Fan’s reputation as a “bootlicker” was well-known in Modu. He was indifferent to other women, but when it came to Lin Qingyue, he always showed a soft side.

In this book, if you put yourself in the villain’s shoes, it might just be a pure single-female-lead story. Because, with so many words in the novel and the protagonist meeting so many women, if this were real life, the male lead would just be a scumbag.

But Chen Fan consistently loved Lin Qingyue, even until his death, always thinking of her.

Perhaps this was the ultimate form of a bootlicker. Someone once commented that in this novel, everyone wants to be Ye Aotian, but everyone is just Chen Fan.

This is probably what sets this novel apart from most others. Having a villain who survives until the end—in most web novels, villains don’t last long; they die shortly after appearing.

Perhaps this is the most fundamental difference.

The group left, got into a car, and returned to the villa. Inside the villa, several people were discussing the matter. Clearly, they still couldn’t accept this kind of plot.

At first, it might have seemed fun, but now, as time passed and bonds formed, it started to feel a bit painful.

Because they had gradually developed some feelings.

Liu Feifei said, “Why don’t we break him out? I think that’d be pretty cool.”

Cao Zijin said, “It’s not a huge deal, just a bit uncomfortable. Alright, stop thinking about it. Chen Fan is much safer than we imagine.”

Zhu Yeqing said, “I feel suffocated. I want to go out.”

Wu Meiniang said, “Then I’ll go out too.”

“No way. If you go out, everyone will recognize you. Zhu Yeqing can go out without issue.”

At this moment, a new person quietly appeared in the group chat.

Cao Zijin naturally knew what Zhu Yeqing planned to do by going out. She was upset and obviously wanted to settle the score.

…

“Is anyone there?”

Cao Zijin looked at the newcomer and said, “Who are you? Holy crap … you scared me to death. Is this a ghost?”

Liu Feifei was also startled. What the hell? The scariest part was that anyone added to the group chat was usually someone familiar.

A random person suddenly appearing—how could that not be terrifying?

Wasn’t this supposed to be an urban novel? Why are there ghosts now?

“I’m Nangong Qingyan. Number Seven pulled me in.”

That made sense.

Cao Zijin said, “So, you’re also …?”

“Yes, but … I haven’t revealed myself. I couldn’t hold back because Young Master Chen is just too handsome, so powerful.”

What the hell is this?

A female bootlicker joining?

No, wait. Wasn’t this woman’s plot supposed to be different? She’s supposed to be friendly with the protagonist. Why does she sound like a hardcore bootlicker right from the start?

Liu Feifei said, “Auntie, is your brain broken?”

Auntie? Sister, you’re going too far.

Nangong Qingyan said, “It’s fine. Young Master Chen’s friends are my friends. It’s okay, call me Auntie, I’m not mad.”

Oh, please. Cao Zijin said, “You’re older than Madam, aren’t you?”

“Not much, just three years. Only three years older.”

Damn it, this is chaos. This is too much.

Jin Lan coughed and said, “You young girls, are you mocking us older women?”

The group chat instantly went silent. No one dared to speak. Jin Lan was not someone to mess with.

Nangong Qingyan said, “Don’t you all think Young Master Chen is super handsome?”

It’s over. This woman is the most off-track. She’s gone beyond Earth, completely unsalvageable.

Tao Xiaoyao said, “Nangong Qingyan, a woman born with natural talent, right?”

…

“Yaksha (She-Devil/ Tao Xiaoyao)? Oh, it’s you. I didn’t expect it to really be you.”

“Mm, then I understand. It’s normal for this situation to happen.”

The group chat was filled with question marks.

Tao Xiaoyao said, “She has a talent that allows her to sense the strength of others. It’s a vague concept, but from an assassin’s perspective, it’s like danger perception. Let me put it this way—ask yourselves, what would a dog do after seeing a lion at the zoo?”

Liu Feifei said, “I’ve seen it. It’d pee itself.”

Uh, sister, you’ve gone too far, you know that? That’s pretty embarrassing.

Nangong Qingyan sent a shy emoji.

Well, looks like it’s true.

Tao Xiaoyao said, “With that metaphor, if you get the idea, let me amplify it further. What about when a dog faces a dinosaur? Or, bolder still, what if it faces a monster from the primordial chaos? Can you imagine it now?”

When fear is infinitely magnified, it leads to another extreme: worship.

And that’s exactly what’s happening with Nangong Qingyan right now.

“What’s your strength?”

“I was at the Initiate Master realm before, just starting out. But now, I’m at the peak of Grand Master realm, thanks to Young Master Chen. Hehe, I was so scared that I lost my soul, and he brought it back for me.”

This … the concept needs to be reevaluated once more. This is just too ridiculous, alright?

Losing her soul—that’s terrifying.

Tao Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and said, “Then I can’t calculate it anymore. I guess Chen Fan’s strength has increased again. Sigh, this guy … just how strong is he? I’m really curious now. If he went all out, could he truly cross into that unknown realm no one else has reached?”

Nangong Qingyan said, “Where’s Zhu Yeqing?”

“She’s gone. Probably to the Ye family to settle the score. Let her be. She’s the angriest. Sigh, she’s probably the one who loves Chen Fan the most. None of us can compare.”

Ling Yuyan said, “Don’t include me. I don’t like Chen Fan. You can like him yourself, but don’t drag me into it.”

Lin Qingyue said, “Right, exactly!”

Cao Zijin said, “Don’t think I don’t know. You, Lin Qingyue, just went to the police station to see Chen Fan. What, now you don’t know where you’ve been?”

“I didn’t! You’re making it up! You’re slandering me! The group leader is bullying me! The group leader is slandering me! I demand the group leader’s position!”

Heh, still trying to seize power? As long as I don’t step down, you lot will always be concubines.

At this moment, Zhu Yeqing changed into night clothes and stormed into the Ye family’s territory.

Without a word, she charged straight into the room of the Ye family’s head.

At this time, several people were in discussion.

“Ye Aotian’s strength has increased again. I actually sensed a new power circulating in his body. Was this Nangong Qingyan’s doing?”

Ye Zitian said, “I’m not sure, but he did save Nangong Qingyan. Though his methods were a bit cliché, it seems Nangong Qingyan thought it was pretty good.”

The family head paused, looked at the elders, and said, “Hahaha, interesting, interesting. Ye Zitian, you need to step up. Your younger brother is catching up to you fast.”

“I’m already consolidating my foundation. I believe it won’t be long before I break through to the second rank and truly become a powerhouse.”

“Good, very good.”
