Transmigrated Into a Book: The Villain I Raised Is Plotting Against Me! - Chapter 3

Xia Qian concealed her emotions and placed a piece of braised pork rib into Mu Suru’s bowl.

Mu Suru stared blankly at the extra piece of meat in her porcelain bowl.

She looked up and saw Xia Qian’s apologetic smile.

“Um… Xiao Ru, I’m really sorry about earlier. I didn’t mean it. Can you forgive me?”

Mu Suru said nothing and just swallowed the meat.

In the novel, the female lead always has a protective aura, so it’s best not to offend her too much, at least not on the surface!

Xia Qian, who was emotionally intelligent, beamed with joy, thinking that this meant she was forgiven.

Mu An saw this but said nothing as he continued eating his meal. The cold air around him seemed to dissipate a bit.

Mu Chen, on the other hand, let out a heavy snort from his nose, he hadn’t forgiven Xia Qian!

Mu Suru picked up a piece of braised meat and placed it in Mu Chen’s bowl.

Mu Chen’s mood instantly improved, and he ate the meat in his mouth, thinking: Since my dear Ru Tuan isn’t holding a grudge, I guess I have no choice but to let it go!

【 Ding, an important plot point has appeared. Please confirm whether to alter the villain Ren Zai’s storyline. 】

“Cough, cough…” Mu Suru was suddenly choked by the voice that came out of nowhere, her face turning red and her neck thickening.

Mu Chen, who was sitting close to her, quickly handed her a cup of warm water and patted her back, a trace of concern appearing on his extremely handsome face.

Mu Suru drank it down, feeling much better in her throat.

【 Confirm! 】

【 Current plot points: 0. Please keep up the good work. A side Task will be issued next, and completing it will earn plot points. 】

Mu Suru remembered that in the original plot, her brothers were supposed to take her and Xia Qian to Summer Paradise tomorrow.

Summer Paradise was also a place the original character had always wanted to go, so this trip was something she had insisted on.

During their three days there, on the last day, Xia Qian returned in the middle of the night, covered in mud and with her clothes in tatters.

This worried her brothers immensely, thinking that something had happened to Xia Qian.

In the end, Xia Qian found an excuse to gloss over the situation.

Others didn’t know, but Mu Suru, who had read the novel, knew all too well.

Xia Qian had encountered the young wolf boy who had fainted, who was none other than the villain Ren Zai before he grew up.

That’s right, the villain Ren Zai was a wolf boy. His parents were unknown, and even by the end of the story, the author had not revealed who his parents were.

When he was still a baby, he was abandoned in a small forest.

Luckily, a mother wolf who had just given birth saw him and, instinctively, took him as one of her own, raising him alongside her wolf pups.

Mu Suru clearly remembered how the plot described Xia Qian saving the villain: [Xia Qian’s innocent face shone like a little angel under the sunlight. She gently approached, tearing off a piece of her dress to bandage Ren Zai’s wounds. Perhaps due to his wolfish nature, he was highly vigilant. Even in his unconscious state, he instinctively scratched Xia Qian. His sharp nails quickly cut through Xia Qian’s delicate skin. Blood gushed out, falling on the dirt like bright red cinnabar. In the end, Xia Qian left without taking Ren Zai with her. But Ren Zai remembered her scent. Later, when he recognized Xia Qian, he pursued her relentlessly, eventually leading to his darkening.]

This meant that Mu Suru had to prevent Ren Zai from meeting the female lead.

So if she could find a way to keep Xia Qian from going to Summer Paradise, wouldn’t she succeed?

At this point, System 001 spoke up:【 Host, you’re oversimplifying things! Just because we have the power to interfere with the plot doesn’t mean that the Plot Master won’t forcibly arrange for the female lead and the villain to meet! 】

[Zero One, you mean the Plot Master will find a way to make Xia Qian and Ren Zai meet?]

【 Host, that’s correct. 】

System 001 no longer wanted to emphasize the issue with its name.

In that case, it would be better to keep Xia Qian within sight.

That way, Mu Suru would be the first to know about any of her movements!

【 Also, if the host fails to rescue the villain Ren Zai first, the mission will fail, and you will be directly eliminated. 】

Zero One spoke in a gentle tone but said cruel words.

Mu Suru shivered, suddenly finding her favorite food in front of her unappetizing.

With a large knife hanging over her head at all times, the feeling was naturally unpleasant.

She took a few casual bites before saying she was done and then hurried back to her bedroom.

Mu An was puzzled, “What’s wrong with her?”

Mu Chen didn’t answer, simply tapping Mu An’s head with his chopsticks. “Just eat your food properly!”

Mu Suru threw herself onto the soft, large bed, wrapping herself in the quilt like a ball and rolling back and forth.

Her fine hair became frizzy as a result, and a blush appeared on her cute little face, her eyes filled with deep thought.

The night was long, and the bright moon seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, looking almost otherworldly.

In the dark and gloomy forest, however, a cross-species hunt was taking place.

“Awoo…”

Wolf howls echoed through the air, the pride and defiance inherent in their nature evident in their cries.

But those howls were also tinged with sadness, a lament for the impending loss of their lives.

“Bang!” The sound of a shotgun rang out, and gradually, the howling grew weaker until it was no more.

Countless wolf corpses lay silently on the ground.

If not for the thick, dark blood embedded in the old tree, one might think they were just resting!

At that moment, a wolf whose head had been severed from its body twitched.

A blood-stained, ferocious face emerged: “Pah, this dead ** is heavy!”

Luce forcefully shoved the wolf’s corpse off of him. His leather clothes were soaked with blood, so much so that their original color was unrecognizable.

He casually wiped his face, revealing a face that, despite being slightly yellow, still exuded a rugged handsomeness. “Blue, where the hell are you?”

“I… I’m here.” A trembling voice came from under a pile of wolf corpses.

“Damn, you still haven’t died!” Luce joked as he dug his partner Blue out.

Blue’s fat body was still shaking, and his face, squeezed by fat so much that his eyes were almost invisible, was full of lingering fear. “Luce, these wolves were insanely vicious. I almost didn’t make it…”

Luce patted Blue on the shoulder. “Don’t be such a wimp! I’m still here, aren’t I?”

Originally, there were no wolves on this mountain. The shepherds grazed their sheep and lived peacefully.

But one day, the sheep started disappearing. At first, they didn’t pay much attention, but over the following days, more and more sheep went missing.

From the footprints, the herdsmen realized that wolves had come!

This worried the herdsmen greatly, and someone suggested the idea: Kill all the wolves on this mountain.

That way, the sheep would have no natural enemies, and their numbers would naturally grow.

So, they hired hunters like Luce and Blue to enter the forest and fight the wolves.

The slaughter between hunters and wolves ended with the hunters’ victory.

However, the hunters suffered heavy losses, with only the two of them surviving.

At that moment, a faint noise reached Luce’s ears.

He waved his hand, signaling Blue to shut up.

Having worked together countless times, Blue immediately understood.

They crouched low, clutching their shotguns, and cautiously approached the bush where the noise had come from.

——————————

Ren Zai held a dead sheep in his mouth and ran happily on all fours.

Blood dripped onto the grass, staining the green blades with a bright red hue.

Then, Ren Zai heard the sorrowful wolf howls, and the message in the sound made his fierce eyes turn blood red.

Ren Zai dropped the sheep and quickly ran toward the source of the howls.

Following the sound, Ren Zai arrived at an old tree. He bared his teeth and let out a howl: “Awoo…”

But there was no response. The stench of blood mixed with the scent of decay made Ren Zai grind his sharp teeth uneasily.

He soon saw the corpses of his kin scattered all over the ground, following the scent to find his wolf brother and sister.

They had been riddled with bullets, their eyes wide open in death, their bodies in a terrible state.

Ren Zai couldn’t help but whimper, tears falling from his cheeks.
