Chapter 180

In the manga, Ji Chuanze clung to the edge of the hole, his cold gray eyes glaring fiercely at Yuan Lan, who was hooking his chin with his foot.

However, in reality, in the next panel from his perspective, it could be seen that everything before him was blurry. Yuan Lan had become a blurry mass of black and white, and because of the blood from the corner of his forehead flowing into his eye, his vision was also covered with a layer of blood. His fierce glare at Yuan Lan seemed to be entirely fueled by his stubbornness.

【What happened to Little Ji’s eyes? Is he going blind?】

【No, no, no, Little Ji is just having an acute onset of the permanent side effect. The appendix has a detailed explanation of the special ability’s side effect!】

【What kind of nickname is Little Ji, hahaha! (Laughing so hard I’m pounding the bed) (Bed collapses) (Falling on the floor and continuing to laugh)】

【(Quietly) Little Ji + tsundere gray-haired little dog = Little Ji ovo】

In the next panel, Ji Chuanze grabbed the ankle of the foot that was hooking his chin, his fingers exerting force, the bones on the back of his hand visible from the effort, as if he wanted to crush Yuan Lan’s ankle.

Just when the readers thought Ji Chuanze was about to fight back with all his might, they turned the page—

The camera turned, and Zhou Chenhao appeared, having thrown open the door of the room and rushed in. The explosion-shaped speech bubble indicated that he had almost shouted, “Bai Xuechao!”

Then he froze.

【Good heavens, Brother Haozi rushed in shouting “Bai Xuechao.” (doge)】

【Axue’s other little dog has arrived (.)】

【What do you mean, ‘other little dog,’ hahaha, I’m going to die laughing in the bullet comment section!! (Fainting from laughter)】

【Aiyoyo, the protagonist group has arrived too. Now it’s great, the Calabash Brothers rescuing Grandpa mode has been activated, one after another they’re being sent. (Laughing-crying) (Headache)】

【There must be a plot twist here, right? There are still so many pages left! (Sweating profusely)】

【I’ve noticed that Ji Chuanze is quite stubborn. He clearly knows he can’t beat Yuan Lan, yet he still tries to cut Yuan Lan’s foot with his sword, and then the sword flies away. Now he’s grabbing Yuan Lan’s ankle with his hand. I’m thinking, if Brother Hao hadn’t come, would his hand have been cut off by Yuan Lan’s puppet threads? (Afraid to make a sound)】

【To the person above, how do you know his hand won’t be cut off when you turn to the next page? (Devil’s whisper)】

【Let me answer the previous question! Because a person lives for their pride, how can they give up so easily? Besides, he’s also fulfilling his duty as a bodyguard to save Bai Xuechao, right? (Touching chin)】

【Isn’t that strange? (Laughing-crying) What kind of bodyguard duty would make someone risk their life and not run away?? It’s clearly because he loves Bai Xuechao so deeply! So he’d rather die than leave! (Convinced) (Nodding)】

【I suggest the people in front have a fight. Is Little Ji doing it for his pride or to save Axue? (Doge emoji)】

The manga showed a side view from outside the door. Xia Xiaoxi, who was behind Zhou Chenhao, bumped into his back because he suddenly stopped at the doorway.

She rubbed her forehead, and holding onto Zhou Chenhao’s shoulder, she looked into the room and asked, “Is he still here?”

Then she showed the same stunned expression as Zhou Chenhao.

While she was stunned, Ling Feng, who was at the very back, also arrived and stood next to her, and together they saw the scene inside the room.

This was a double-page spread made up of two manga pages joined together. The camera angle followed the protagonist group, presenting a view from outside the door looking into the room.

The trio of the protagonist group was at the bottom of the frame, with only the backs of their three heads and their shoulders visible. In front of them was a room in disarray, with deep cuts everywhere, and water stains on the floor.

There was a large collapsed hole in the room. The gray-haired boy was clinging to the edge of the hole with both hands, covered in blood and looking extremely wretched. In front of him, the youth with medium-length white hair was hooking his chin with his foot, in a frivolous and somewhat humiliating manner, while he was also using one of his arms to cling to the edge of the hole, his hand fiercely clutching the other’s ankle.

As for Bai Xuechao, whom they were most concerned about, he was standing quietly on a sofa chair at the back of the room, as if he were an outsider, the chaos around him having nothing to do with him.

【I really wanted a double-page spread, but not this kind! (Vomiting blood and smiling)】

【Who would use this as a wallpaper, hey! (Slams table)】

【”World Famous Painting: Watching the Dog Abuse”】

【What the hell is dog abuse, hahahaha. When Little Ji climbs up, he’ll turn you all into bean paste! (Baring teeth)】

【Even so, this composition… Axue is standing at the very back, looking like he’s being well-protected, which makes my imagination run a little wild… It’s like Axue and Yuan Lan (the one who fell from the sky) are getting married, and all the guests (the protagonist group) are watching as Little Ji (the childhood friend) comes to crash the wedding, and then gets beaten half to death by Yuan Lan… You don’t have to cover my mouth, I’ll cover it myself. (Covering mouth and crying)】

【The person above’s imagination, hahaha! I’m laughing so hard my mom is banging on the door asking if I’m sick. (Crawling all over the floor)】

Turning the page, it was the protagonist group’s inner thoughts.

Xia Xiaoxi: Wh-what’s going on? Wasn’t Bai Xuechao supposed to be in trouble? But he looks very safe right now?

Zhou Chenhao: Oh, it’s good that Bai Xuechao is fine. But it’s weird that he’s standing in the back watching. Is he on the same side as this white-haired guy? He’s not that kind of person, is he?

Ling Feng: It seems like Bai Xuechao is on the same side as this white-haired man, but something’s not right. The water on the ground is from him using his special ability, right? This white-haired man has no injuries and looks like he can handle the gray-haired one alone. Why does he still need to use his special ability?

Yuan Lan looked at them and said with a smile, “It’s you, the nullification special ability user.”

【The inner thoughts of these three really show their personalities. (Laughing-crying)】

【Brother Hao’s first thought is that Bai Xuechao is fine, hahaha! He’s been completely manipulated. The power of 20% of his personality is terrifying. From now on, their CP shouldn’t be called Bai Zhou, it should be called 20%. (Covering face, laughing-crying)】

【Hahaha, although I don’t ship CPs, I agree to call it 20%. It’s their exclusive percentage! (Doge emoji)】

【Maomao’s observation skills are really good. He noticed the water on the ground right away. If Yuan Lan hadn’t spoken, he probably would have been able to deduce the truth soon.】

【Yuan Lan directly ignored my daughter and Ling Feng Maomao. He has a kind of arrogant and self-centered vibe, but it also feels right. This kind of perverted villain should be this self-centered.】

【There should be a meme here. (Brother Hao: Me?.jpg)】

Zhou Chenhao was a little surprised that Yuan Lan knew him.

Yuan Lan said he had originally wanted to turn him into a new toy, but he had already found a more interesting one. He called out, “Little Xuechao—”

Bai Xuechao jumped off the sofa chair and walked towards Yuan Lan.

The manga inserted a close-up of Zhou Chenhao’s expression here. His eyes widened slightly as he looked at Bai Xuechao in surprise, his inner monologue saying: New toy? Bai Xuechao…?

Yuan Lan’s foot was no longer hooking Ji Chuanze’s chin. He put his arm around Bai Xuechao’s shoulder, his fingertips fiddling with the ends of his hair that hung by his neck, and introduced with a smile, “Little Xuechao is already mine.”

Zhou Chenhao tilted his head, “Huh?”

【My goodness, what kind of CP shuraba is this, hahaha!】

【Why do I have a feeling that Yuan Lan is declaring his sovereignty in front of his love rival? Hehe. (Shy) (Little face all yellow)】

【Yuan Lan: Your wife is fine, next second she’s mine. (Doge emoji)】

【Brother Hao: Huh? He’s yours?】

【So now it’s become a battle for wifey? (bushi)】

【Family, this development is really so wonderful, hahahaha. The atmosphere suddenly became strange.】

【With Yuan Lan’s strength, even Ji Chuanze + the protagonist group might not be able to beat him, right?】

【To the person above, be confident. Take out the “might,” they just can’t beat him. I’m already a Buddhist now. Anyway, the protagonist group definitely won’t fall here. We’ll just see how they break the deadlock.】

Xia Xiaoxi raised her hand and asked if he could say it again, suspecting that she had misheard.

The manga gave a panel of Ling Feng’s expression. He seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened and his pupils dilated a bit. His inner monologue said: Crap, Bai Xuechao looks like he’s being controlled, and he still has 20% of Zhou Chenhao’s personality in his hands!

【So touching. Maomao’s first concern is Brother Hao.】

【Hao fans are about to faint. If Bai Xuechao is really completely controlled, the 20% of Brother Hao’s personality in his hands will fall into Yuan Lan’s hands… (Inhaling oxygen.jpg)】

【I suddenly feel like this is a real possibility. Bai Xuechao is controlled by Yuan Lan, and Yuan Lan indirectly gets Brother Hao’s personality. Yuan Lan is a villain, so it’s perfectly reasonable for Brother Hao to go up against the villain to get his personality back. (Wiping sweat)】

【The main quest is to collect special ability energy crystals, the side quest is to retrieve his own personality, and the side quest to find Xiao Xi’s brother (which seems to be nearing completion). It’s all here. (Smiling and vomiting blood)】

The next panel of the manga was a panoramic shot.

Yuan Lan had his arm around Bai Xuechao’s shoulder, the two of them standing together. At their feet, Ji Chuanze had already climbed up to the edge of the hole.

Yuan Lan: “I said—”

Ji Chuanze interrupted Yuan Lan’s words. The explosion-shaped speech bubble was marked with “Hoarse,” indicating that he shouted in a hoarse voice, “Bai Xuechao, how long are you going to be controlled!”

The trio of the protagonist group all showed somewhat shocked expressions.

Ji Chuanze’s words directly confirmed that Bai Xuechao was in a state of being controlled by a special ability. They all thought in unison: The one who can control Bai Xuechao must be a high-level special ability user!

Next to Ling Feng, there was another separate inner monologue box: Bai Xuechao is a level 7 special ability user. The special ability user who can control him must be level 7 or above!

【Holy shit, I missed the word ‘controlled’ in Little Ji’s line just now. (Covering face, laughing-crying)】

【Hahaha, in such a tense scene, the bullet comments in front are making me laugh! (Annoyed)】

【Damn it, I can’t forget that bullet comment from before. Now my mind is full of the sentence without the word ‘controlled’… (Grabbing hair) (Horrified)】

【You guys are spreading rumors, Axue’s innocence is gone! I’m going to report you to the central government! (Monkey being caught: Report to the central government!.jpg)】

【Little Ji’s battle damage is really so handsome, wuwu, who understands? I’ve really fallen in love. (Covering mouth and crying)】

【The brain of the protagonist group is online as usual. Only Ling Feng Maomao thought about Yuan Lan’s special ability level. (=v=)】

【Judging from how Yuan Lan crushed Ji Chuanze, he should be level 8, right?】

【I have a bold guess… (Afraid to make a sound)】
