The Black Lotus Wife Forces Me to Pretend to Be an Omega. - Chapter 59

Luo Xiaoxiao had no idea what was happening. How had she gone back in time again?

Had she returned to a few minutes earlier once more?

This was so strange.

Once again, the voices of the system and Fu Xinting echoed in her ears.

Fu Xinting: I want this one dead, I want that one dead…

She had just finished speaking when Lu Yu’s voice followed. But this time, Luo Xiaoxiao saw it clearly—where the hell had Lu Chenfeng pulled that gun from?

Then, she watched helplessly as Lu Chenfeng shot Fu Xinting dead.

Just like that?!

The moment this thought crossed her mind, she seemed to understand what was happening.

System: Time reset…

Before the system could finish speaking, Luo Xiaoxiao instinctively grabbed Li Fanshuang beside her.

Whoosh—

Her eyes snapped open again, and once more, Fu Xinting and the system’s dialogue played in her ears.

Fu Xinting: I want this one dead, I want that one dead…

This time, however, there was a slight difference—Li Fanshuang’s voice rang out beside her.

“What the hell? Why keep repeating it?”

Luo Xiaoxiao: Wait, can Li Fanshuang hear the system’s voice too?

Oh no!

Yuyu, don’t you dare say anything!

But Luo Xiaoxiao was too late to stop it. Lu Yu spoke up again.

“Yuan Zhiqing slit her wrists!”

Li Fanshuang: “Again?”

Lu Chenfeng’s expression darkened, and once more, he pulled out his gun and aimed it at Fu Xinting.

Whoosh—

Luo Xiaoxiao and Li Fanshuang opened their eyes again.

“I wonder if Fu Xinting is stuck in the loop like me?” Luo Xiaoxiao muttered, pursing her lips. Whether she was or not, a world where only Fu Xinting died had become a reality.

Li Fanshuang squeezed her hand. “What were you just saying? Don’t tell me you’re also…”

“Yeah,” Luo Xiaoxiao shrugged. “I don’t know what’s going on either.”

“Probably Lu Chenfeng’s doing,” Li Fanshuang pointed at him. “Given how unhinged she is, there’s no way she’d stay calm after hearing about Yuan Zhiqing’s suicide attempt.”

“So she just kills people?!” Luo Xiaoxiao whispered into Li Fanshuang’s ear. “Your friend is a complete psycho—you can’t keep hanging out with her!”

Li Fanshuang sighed helplessly. “She’s the best pheromone specialist in the country. If I don’t go to her, how else am I supposed to hide my identity?”

Luo Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized she had a point. But hadn’t both their identities already been exposed anyway?

It was only a matter of time before the public found out.

Lost in thought, Luo Xiaoxiao completely forgot about trying to prevent what was coming next.

“Should we try to stop this?” Li Fanshuang sighed. Lu Chenfeng seemed stuck in the loop.

If this kept up, both Li Fanshuang and Luo Xiaoxiao would lose their minds sooner or later.

Luo Xiaoxiao thought Li Fanshuang made sense, so before Lu Yu could speak again, she quickly strode over to Lu Chenfeng.

Bang—

The moment the gunshot rang out, Luo Xiaoxiao grabbed her hand.

Whoosh—

Now, all three of them had broken free from the loop.

“What just happened?” Lu Chenfeng shook her head, confused. She had just shot Fu Xinting dead—so why was she still alive?

Had she not fired the gun after all?

Determined to figure it out, Lu Chenfeng spent two more loops testing the situation.

Luo Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. “Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!”

“I never would have thought there could be someone so utterly insane in this world!” Luo Xiaoxiao spat in disgust, shooting an annoyed glance at Li Fanshuang beside her.

Li Fanshuang covered her face—she too hadn’t expected anyone to spiral into such madness.

After discovering she was trapped in a time loop, Lu Chenfeng had grown increasingly unhinged.

The moment she laid eyes on Fu Xinting, she would kill her without hesitation.

No matter the method—gunshot or otherwise.

In the previous cycle, she had pinned Fu Xinting to the ground and beaten her mercilessly.

Then proceeded to bludgeon her to death.

Finally, Lu Yu would inevitably chime in at the critical moment, “Oh no, she slit her wrists!”

And just like that, everything would reset.

Li Fanshuang was exhausted. She rubbed her temples, thinking that if she hadn’t experienced this firsthand, she’d never believe she could be caught in such a bizarre loop.

Whoosh—

A new cycle began. Even Lu Chenfeng was reaching her limit—killing Fu Xinting was merely a temporary fix, not a solution.

Luo Xiaoxiao raised her hand. “Alright, I’ve thought of another way.”

The others present mechanically repeated their looped actions.

Like Lu Yu, who would invariably say “She slit her wrists” at the appointed time, no matter what was happening.

And everything would start anew.

This time, Lu Chenfeng still chose to kill Fu Xinting, but before the loop reset, Luo Xiaoxiao grabbed Lu Yu.

Whoosh—

Luo Xiaoxiao urgently pleaded with Lu Yu, “Please, don’t say it this time!”

Lu Yu looked at her blankly. “Say what?”

Luo Xiaoxiao froze. Had Yuyu not been pulled into the loop?

This was bad!

Li Fanshuang’s expression darkened. “It seems only the main characters get pulled in.”

Lu Yu’s role in the story was too minor.

Luo Xiaoxiao glanced sideways at Fu Xinting, who stood motionless. Since Fu Xinting had a system, could the system be dragged into the loop too?

Noticing Luo Xiaoxiao’s scheming expression, Li Fanshuang subtly signaled to Lu Chenfeng.

Though furious, years of tacit understanding made Lu Chenfeng realize Li Fanshuang wanted her to stay calm. Maybe she shouldn’t kill this time?

Reading her hesitation, Luo Xiaoxiao immediately shouted, “How can you not kill her!”

Lu Chenfeng drew her gun. “Then I won’t hold back!”

Seeing this, Luo Xiaoxiao rushed to Fu Xinting’s side, yelling, “You blockhead, can’t you wait for me?!”

She grabbed Fu Xinting’s arm.

Bang—

The gunshot rang out, and everything reset once more.

This time, Fu Xinting was successfully pulled into the loop.

The incessant chatter from her system was finally gone.

For once, Luo Xiaoxiao and Li Fanshuang found the silence almost peaceful.

System: Host, are you ignoring me? I’m about to level up—any wishes?

 

Fu Xinting: I…

The pain in her chest felt terrifyingly real as she stared at Lu Chenfeng in shock.

Lu Chenfeng watched her like a hawk eyeing its prey, ready to strike at the slightest movement.

Gulping, Fu Xinting tentatively replied to the system.

Fu Xinting: I want Yuan Zhiqing dead…

Bang—

Lu Chenfeng remained the same Lu Chenfeng, mercilessly ending Fu Xinting’s life once again.

At first, Fu Xinting still had some defiance, but later she realized Lu Chenfeng was simply insane.

Luo Xiaoxiao and Li Fanshuang were also exhausted, adopting an indifferent stance as they leaned back against each other on the couch, watching Fu Xinting die over and over.

“Wifey, don’t you think Fu Xinting feels any pain?” Luo Xiaoxiao yawned.

Li Fanshuang sighed. “Even if she isn’t tired, I am. With all her convoluted schemes, hasn’t she realized things are spiraling out of her control?”

Of course, Fu Xinting had noticed. She frantically pleaded with the system.

Fu Xinting: System, help me! I’m stuck in a loop! Lu Chenfeng is lying to me!

 

System: Host, have you lost your mind? What loop?

Li Fanshuang crossed her arms, looking utterly drained. “Seems the system isn’t dragged into the loop.”

“And it doesn’t realize we’re starting to act strange too.”

As Luo Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she and Li Fanshuang high-fived in perfect sync.

Luo Xiaoxiao felt like acting spoiled. She nuzzled against Li Fanshuang aggressively. “Wifey, when can we go back to the hotel? I wanna do fun things with you there.”

“Me too,” Li Fanshuang admitted without hesitation, turning her face toward Luo Xiaoxiao.

Honestly, Luo Xiaoxiao looked disheveled right now, but it had its own charm.

Li Fanshuang lifted Luo Xiaoxiao’s chin with her fingers. “Then when we get back, how about I treat you to something nice?”

Luo Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled as she tentatively asked, “Cherry liqueur flavored?”

“Sure.”

“I want it now.” Luo Xiaoxiao leaned in closer.

Li Fanshuang clicked her tongue. “How are we supposed to kiss… properly here?”

Luo Xiaoxiao grabbed the hand holding her chin, pulled Li Fanshuang in, and pressed their lips together.

“Like this… Mmm, so sweet…”

Li Fanshuang: Why do you keep talking while kissing?

Lu Chenfeng, witnessing this scene, was absolutely livid. She aimed her gun at them. “Are you two insane? What the hell are you doing making out at a time like this? If you wanna kiss, go back to your damn hotel!”

Fu Xinting stared wide-eyed at the two kissing, screaming internally—

Just die already!

Luo Xiaoxiao let out a muffled whimper mid-kiss, glancing sideways at her. “Again?!”

Whoosh—

The loop restarted. This time, before Lu Chenfeng could act, Luo Xiaoxiao kicked Fu Xinting straight away.

“Damn it!”

Fu Xinting was knocked to the ground.

“Are you out of your mind?” Luo Xiaoxiao slapped her hard across the face.

Instantly, Fu Xinting’s face swelled like a pig’s.

“You—”

“Shut the hell up!” Luo Xiaoxiao slapped her again. “Do you have to be so vicious? Trying to turn Lu Chenfeng into your obedient dog? You think she’s an idiot? You really believe you can control that psycho? Wake up! And you even messed with Yuan Zhiqing—are you brain-dead?”

“Stop hitting me…” Fu Xinting weakly raised a hand, feeling like death might be preferable.

Li Fanshuang stepped forward and grabbed Luo Xiaoxiao’s arm. “Xiaoxiao, what are you doing? You can’t just hit people!”

Bang—

Another kick landed squarely on Fu Xinting’s waist.

“You…”

Li Fanshuang turned away, pulling Luo Xiaoxiao with him, and said earnestly, “We shouldn’t do things we’re not supposed to.”

Luo Xiaoxiao was nearly losing it. She grabbed Li Fanshuang’s head and planted a fierce kiss on him!

How dare she interrupt our moment? Kicking her was the least I could do.

Lu Chenfeng’s lips twitched—these two were no saints either.

She had seen it clearly—that last kick had come from Li Fanshuang.

Lu Chenfeng crouched beside Fu Xinting and said coldly, “You’d better think carefully. Stop saying strange things to that system of yours, or this time, I’ll dig your brain out myself and see if that system can escape.”

System: Wuwuwu, Host, maybe don’t make any more wishes… I’m scared. Lu Chenfeng is a psycho.

With that, the system immediately went offline.

Fu Xinting panicked. What did this mean for her?

Had she just taken a beating for nothing?

“Luo Xiaoxiao, you won’t get away with this!” Fu Xinting could only lash out at the easiest target in the room.

Luo Xiaoxiao scoffed, completely unfazed.

She turned to Zhu Yuxin beside her. “Boss, you saw it too—I was just defending myself.”

Lu Yu nodded. “I saw. She had ill intentions toward you.”

Lu Ling and Lü Qingcha immediately protested. Lu Ling was the first to stand up. “Luo Xiaoxiao was the one who suddenly attacked! Tingting, are you okay?”

The concern in his voice suggested an affair that had been going on for at least a year.

Lu Yu shuddered in disgust and tugged at Zhu Yuxin’s sleeve. “Let’s get out of here. I don’t want to deal with people like this.”

Zhu Yuxin took her hand. “Alright, whatever you say.”

She glanced back at Luo Xiaoxiao. “Don’t worry, this is a VIP area—no surveillance.”

“Right. I wonder what Teacher Fu was thinking, falling like that in the middle of a mall,” Lu Chenfeng added smoothly.

Fu Xinting gritted her teeth. “You lied to me?”

“I should actually thank you,” Lu Chenfeng replied with a dangerous, captivating smile. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have regained my Alpha status.”

As she spoke, she lifted her gaze to her dear younger brother.

Lu Ling froze. What had Lu Chenfeng just said?

That she had recovered?

How had things come to this?

He stared at his hands—once an infertile Alpha, now a Beta without pheromones.

Clenching his jaw, he glared at Lu Chenfeng. “What did you do?”

Lu Chenfeng shoved her hands in her pockets, not even bothering to look at him. “What did I do? I just let nature take its course. Dear brother, don’t you know what your precious Tingting did to me last night?”

Lu Ling’s face darkened completely. He strode over to Fu Xinting and seized her throat. “What the hell happened last night?!”

He had been with Fu Xinting last night. He knew she had suddenly presented as an Omega.

He had rushed to that hotel after receiving a message—but who had Fu Xinting originally targeted?

Had it been his sister all along?

The thought sent fury coursing through him.

Fu Xinting slapped him across the face. “You’re utterly useless. I helped you, and instead of being grateful, you’re still coveting things that don’t belong to you. Now that you’re no longer an Alpha, you’ve lost your inheritance rights to the Lu family. As for me—”

She abruptly stopped speaking, scanning the crowd with her gaze. She could sense it—there must be a transmigrator here somewhere.

As long as she could be reborn in that person’s body, it wouldn’t matter if she stopped being Fu Xinting. The problem was, she couldn’t immediately identify who the transmigrator was.

Luo Xiaoxiao shrank back instinctively under her gaze.

“What’s wrong?” Li Fanshuang patted her back.

Luo Xiaoxiao shook her head and nestled closer into Li Fanshuang’s embrace. “I’m not feeling well… I want to transmigrate…” Just to kill Fu Xinting again!

Fu Xinting probably didn’t know she was also a transmigrator. If she found out, she might try to steal her body.

Given how close she was with Li Fanshuang, if Fu Xinting took over her body, completing her mission would be effortless.

Luo Xiaoxiao steeled her resolve: She absolutely couldn’t let Fu Xinting discover her true identity!

“Are you okay?” Lu Yu yawned and stepped forward. “Let’s not beat around the bush. I don’t understand any of what you’re saying, but I’ll tell Lu Ling this much—since you’re no longer an Alpha, our engagement is now a joke. Bye~”

With that, Lu Yu took Zhu Yuxin’s hand and left, casually throwing Luo Xiaoxiao and the others a meaningful glance.

Luo Xiaoxiao gave an OK sign and quickly led Li Fanshuang out of the mall.

Only when they reached the underground parking lot did Lu Yu finally exhale in relief.

“That scared me to death. I thought Lu Chenfeng had gone crazy.” Lu Yu remembered how she’d claimed not to know Yuan Zhiqing.

At this, Luo Xiaoxiao covered her mouth to suppress a giggle. “She was just messing with Fu Xinting. What kind of person is Lu Chenfeng? There’s no way she’d abandon Yuan Zhiqing for that trash.”

“The problem now is different,” Li Fanshuang shook her head, looking at the two non-key characters from the plot.

Zhu Yuxin stared intently at Li Fanshuang. “You’re keeping something from us. We want to know too.”

Lu Yu chimed in, “Yeah, yeah!”

The young mistress had no idea what they were talking about, but if Zhu Yuxin said it was interesting, then it must be.

Luo Xiaoxiao facepalmed. “Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand.”

“What? Are you a transmigrator or something?” Lu Yu dropped the bombshell.

Luo Xiaoxiao’s face turned ashen.

Seeing this, Lu Yu drew out a long, drawn-out “Ohhh~” that made Luo Xiaoxiao’s scalp prickle. “No wonder you were being so evasive earlier—you didn’t even know about Professor Qin and Professor Ye’s gossip. So, you really are an alien?”

“How could I possibly be an alien—”

“Where are you from? Krypton? Or Ultraman’s home planet?” Lu Yu asked with complete seriousness.

Zhu Yuxin sighed wearily and glanced at Li Fanshuang, seeing the same exhaustion reflected in her eyes.

At least she wasn’t the only one with a girlfriend who had… mental peculiarities.

The corner of Luo Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched. “Young Mistress, Krypton and Ultraman don’t exist in this world.”

“Oh, I know that.” Lu Yu crossed her arms, the light in her eyes fading with Luo Xiaoxiao’s words.

Zhu Yuxin immediately pulled the tearful Lu Yu into a hug, glaring at Luo Xiaoxiao with dissatisfaction. “Couldn’t you leave her some innocent fantasies?”

Luo Xiaoxiao pointed at her own nose with an innocent expression: So this is my fault now?

Li Fanshuang swiftly pulled Luo Xiaoxiao behind her, equally displeased as she looked at Zhu Yuxin. “She’s just a child, why are you being so harsh on her?”

“How old is she already…”

“She just turned nineteen this year,” Luo Xiaoxiao said in a deliberately sweet voice.

Zhu Yuxin shut her mouth, standing there bewildered—what kind of creature just spoke?

“Yuck~” Lu Yu beside her covered her mouth, nearly vomiting.

Luo Xiaoxiao looked at her with a face full of grievance. “Does the young mistress find this servant distasteful?”

“No… yuck.” Lu Yu waved her hand while trying to suppress the churning discomfort in her stomach.

That expression Luo Xiaoxiao had just made was enough to turn anyone’s stomach.

“So your secret is something you can’t share with us?” Zhu Yuxin spoke up again, thinking she had already formed a strategic partnership with them and Lu Chenfeng.

“It’s not that we won’t tell you.” Luo Xiaoxiao’s face showed a helpless expression.

Li Fanshuang pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a headache coming on just thinking about it. That Lu Chenfeng—why was his acting so over-the-top?

“The current situation is… rather complicated.”

Zhu Yuxin, “It’s fine, I can handle it. I just accepted that you guys hit someone.”

“We didn’t…” Luo Xiaoxiao’s words trailed off as a fragment of memory surfaced—she had indeed touched Zhu Yuxin’s hand earlier.

Li Fanshuang clicked her tongue. “Seems like things aren’t what we thought.”

Luo Xiaoxiao looked at Li Fanshuang’s eyes and understood. “So even smart people can get caught in that weird loop.”

Meanwhile, the not-so-bright Lu Yu looked at them curiously. She tugged at Zhu Yuxin’s sleeve pitifully. “Babe, what are they talking about? Why can’t I understand a single word? Did you see them hit someone? Who did they hit?”

“Fu Xinting.” Zhu Yuxin squeezed her hand, signaling her to stay quiet for now.

But upon hearing this, Lu Yu immediately looked disappointed. “When did you hit her? Why didn’t you call me?”

Lu Chenfeng raised an eyebrow, the cold pistol pressed against her chest. She gave Lu Yu a mischievous smile. “Next time, definitely.”

Zhu Yuxin pulled Lu Yu closer. “Sorry, we don’t engage in illegal activities.”

Li Fanshuang’s gaze also fell on Lu Chenfeng. “You…”

Before she could finish, Luo Xiaoxiao reached out toward Lu Chenfeng. “Hand it over.”

Lu Chenfeng gave her a cold glance but remained silent.

Luo Xiaoxiao took a sharp breath and stepped closer, extending her hand again. “Give it to me! Why are you carrying that thing around?!”

“I’m a member of Hucheng Firearms Club and have a legal gun permit. What? You want to control that too?” Lu Chenfeng’s tone was hostile. Whether she was this supporting character or not, she simply didn’t like Luo Xiaoxiao.

Li Fanshuang stepped forward and grabbed Luo Xiaoxiao’s arm. “Forget it, she has her own plans.”

“Oh really?” Luo Xiaoxiao raised both hands to her chest, a delicate pistol dangling from her right hand. “Then Dr. Lu, how about I ‘V’ you this pistol? I’d love to hear your revenge plan too.”

Lu Chenfeng stared intently at the gun in Luo Xiaoxiao’s hand, the chill in his chest already fading.

She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Luo Xiaoxiao—this was the first time she had truly observed this Alpha, this person who had suddenly crossed over into their world.

Zhu Yuxin chuckled at the scene, pulling out her phone and transferring 50 yuan to Lu Chenfeng. “I don’t have a gun, so here’s 50—let’s hear your revenge plan. Of course…”

She glanced at Luo Xiaoxiao, eager to uncover more secrets.

Luo Xiaoxiao raised a hand to cut her off. “That’ll cost extra.”

“What do you mean, ‘extra’?” Clueless, Lu Yu pulled out her phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to Luo Xiaoxiao. “Xiaoxiao, here’s 100,000—now tell me what’s really going on.”

Luo Xiaoxiao saluted Lu Yu. “Yes, ma’am!”

Zhu Yuxin gaped at her. “You—”

Lu Chenfeng scoffed, turning to Li Fanshuang. “Your wife is something else.”

Li Fanshuang shrugged. “Should’ve asked for more while you had the chance.”

“Is this really about money?” Lu Chenfeng was speechless. She instinctively reached for her gun—maybe she should just shoot Luo Xiaoxiao and be done with it?

Luo Xiaoxiao waved her own gun. “Seems you’ve figured out the rules of this world—kill a Taskbearer, and time rewinds. Too bad I’m not one. Kill me, and time won’t reset.”

“Oh?” Fragments of recent events flashed through Lu Chenfeng’s mind—anyone who threatened her or Yuan Zhiqing would die without hesitation.

Luo Xiaoxiao understood. Lu Chenfeng was a madwoman. But she had her own doubts.

“When did you awaken?” Luo Xiaoxiao asked, her voice laced with unease.

She feared the plot suddenly correcting itself, feared vanishing from Li Fanshuang’s world without warning.

“Xiaoxiao…”

Before Li Fanshuang could console her, Luo Xiaoxiao pinched her chin. “Sweetheart, you still owe me an explanation about my brother. Don’t forget—you said you’d let me handle you however I wanted.”

“Then do it~ Don’t just talk—act!”
