The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 303: Chapter 146: This Time It’s a Swindler (Finale)_2

This skill is too heaven-defying; He Tiantian was able to live so effortlessly and unconstrained in this world, all thanks to this rewarding bounty.

Of course, this discovery was still just a guess; it required He Tiantian to continue to verify it.

But this Small World was the perfect opportunity—quests with a difficulty coefficient of two stars, rewarding 6 points each.

Just that the system had only hinted at her completing the quest, but did not continue to issue rewards.

It seemed that her performance hadn’t satisfied the esteemed readers enough.

Student Xiao D: ...seems to make some sense, but it felt somewhat incorrect.

Forget it, if Tiantian insists, Student Xiao D cannot force the issue.

It is just an AI assistant, not the system boss, and simply cannot influence He Tiantian’s decisions.

Student Xiao D then shrank back into its corner to continue watching He Tiantian in a confrontation with the female lead.

”Red-clothed didn’t do it on purpose, it, it didn’t know that this secret manual was your Taoist Temple’s forbidden secret!”

Being confronted by He Tiantian like this, Zhang Duoduo felt somewhat guilty.

Yes, Red-clothed shouldn’t have casually searched through things in the Taoist Temple, let alone attempt to take them.

But, but surely it wasn’t intentional, perhaps it was just out of curiosity...

Okay, Zhang Duoduo couldn’t even convince herself.

She had brought the red-clothed female ghost to sneak into Guiyuan Temple at night, which could have been excused as suspecting Guiyuan Temple of colluding with ghosts, searching for evidence.

Getting caught could still be awkwardly argued away.

But casually taking things from others’ Taoist Temples, and to make matters worse, it happened to be their secret manual, there was just no way to justify that.

”You didn’t know? Not knowing means you can mess around at will? Eldest Miss Zhang is really too funny; by your logic, if I went to your Heavenly Master Mansion, could I just take away your Spirit Talismans at will? After all, I am young, I don’t understand the value of Spirit Talismans!”

He Tiantian barraged Zhang Duoduo with a flurry of icy satire.

Zhang Duoduo: ”You, you... At such a young age, how can you be so sharp-tongued, never forgiving those at fault? Yes, Red-clothed is indeed wrong, but you could tell me, I can make amends on its behalf and apologize to you!”

”Why should I forgive when I have the upper hand? Please, what era is this, and you’re still going on with that moral coercion routine? Don’t your Zhang Family have WIFI installed?”

He Tiantian curled her lips, full of disdain, spitting out exceedingly harsh words, ”Additionally, if apologies were useful, what’s the need for police? Or does Eldest Miss Zhang think, as long as you make a mistake, a simple ’sorry’ can fix everything?”

”Today, I discovered in time, the ancient scroll of magic that has been passed down for over a thousand years in my Guiyuan Temple nearly got stolen by that female ghost!”

”What if I hadn’t discovered it? Would you, Eldest Miss Zhang, have just claimed it as your own?”

”Also, I clearly saw that the female ghost bore the stains of karma; it had devoured the souls of dozens of innocent ghosts, hadn’t it?”

”Such an evil ghost, no matter how pitiful its situation, should be sent to the Underworld to be judged by a magistrate to determine its guilt!”

”You, as a descendant of the Heavenly Master Mansion, keeping such an evil ghost by your side, what exactly are you planning? To collude with ghosts? Self-degradation?”

Zhang Duoduo was seething with mortification.

Born into a prestigious family with incredibly high talent and, crucially, also with exceptional luck.

Since childhood, whether at home or in the Itinerant World, she was always the subject of envy and praise.

The definite rising star of Mysticism, the standout prodigy of the new generation.

Yet now, she was being cursed at, pointed at the nose by a child of eight or nine.

She should be the one who’s more furious, for goodness’ sake!

Her Red-clothed, a faithful yet formidable partner, was directly obliterated with one move by this damned brat.

Putting aside whether Red-clothed was at fault, ”one must look at the master behind the dog”—this damned girl was so arrogant, it was like she didn’t even see the Heavenly Master Mansion’s Zhang Family as worth considering!

However, what followed told Zhang Duoduo that He Tiantian’s arrogance was fully backed.

This little brat, just a few years old, turned out to be a Medical Practitioner, and a very impressive one at that, healing the boss of the ”Emergency Office” in one go, the Junior Master Uncle, a once in a millennium talent from the Mystical Sect!

After that, not just the Zhang Family and its relatives, but even Zhang Duoduo herself had lost any thought of ”revenge.”

Should He Tiantian have just been a highly talented, exceptionally able member of the Mystical Sect, Zhang Duoduo would not have been afraid.

Low cultivation, no problem; if talent was lacking, diligence could make up for it; as long as she worked hard, she would eventually be able to overcome He Tiantian, and vent that nasty feeling in her chest.

Even if she couldn’t do it herself, she also had the support of her massive family and an extensive network of connections.
