Chapter 213 The Cannon Fodder Substitute of the Fantasy Heroine
"Sister, are you listening to me?" Duanmu Rong asked cautiously.
Su Lan was brought back to reality by her voice, and she stared at Duan Mu Rong with a cold gaze. She secretly used her mind reading skills to spy on Duan Mu Rong's innermost thoughts. Sure enough, Duan Mu Rong was thinking about how to save the Demon Lord she loved so much while she was at ease.
"I'm listening, but Miss Duanmu, have you ever seen the true form of Demon Lord Yu?" Su Lan suddenly asked with a hint of mystery in her tone.
"Ah, the real body? Is it his body? I've never seen it before. Tell me about it."
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Rong's face flushed, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation. She wondered what Demon Lord Yu's true form might look like. Was he a majestic white dragon? Or perhaps some other powerful and mysterious divine beast in disguise?
However, just as Duanmu Rong was happily waiting for Su Lan's answer, Su Lan suddenly attacked and knocked her unconscious.
Then, Su Lan used her spiritual power to project the photo of the hawk-eyed worm found by the system directly into Duanmu Rong's mind and set it to loop playback mode. In this way, whenever Duanmu Rong woke up, she would continue to see the disgusting photo of the hawk-eyed worm.
Not only that, Su Lan also destroyed Duanmu Rong's cultivation, making her completely lose the ability to resist.
After completing all this, Su Lan nodded with satisfaction and removed the barrier. She squatted down and woke up Duanmu Zijin and his sister. She had seen them in the original owner's memories before, and they were indeed kind-hearted people.
"Miss," Duanmu Zijin opened his eyes and saw Su Lan's face, and he felt a lot more at ease.
Su Lan helped her up and transferred Dou Qi into her body to help Duanmu Zijin recover quickly.
She knew that Duanmu Rong was going to attack everyone before she fainted. Now that everyone is safe, she is even more grateful to Su Lan.
"Don't call me Miss anymore. I'm already Princess Yongchun of Dongyan Kingdom. They have all taken medicine and they will be fine after resting for half a month. As for Duanmu Rong's evil deeds, the academy will make the final decision." After Su Lan withdrew her hand, she walked to the window and used her fighting spirit to pinch a paper crane to deliver a message.
A quarter of an hour later, Teacher Shen appeared at the restaurant with a group of college guards. After learning the details of what happened, they took the students who had fainted and Duanmu Rong back.
In the dean's office
The dean looked at the small jade bottle in front of him, frowning slightly, his face full of seriousness. He turned his head and his eyes fell on Su Lan, and his expression instantly changed to a kind one.
"Su Lan, does this bottle really contain the soul of that Demon Lord?" The dean's voice was filled with a hint of doubt.
Su Lan nodded solemnly, then picked up the bottle and shook it gently.
"Stop pretending to be dead! Make a sound! Our dean is asking you a question!" Su Lan shouted.
However, there was no echo in the bottle.
Su Lan sighed helplessly and could only resort to her ultimate move. She brought the bottle to her lips and whispered, "If you don't say anything, I'll release the Phoenix blood."
After hearing this, a voice finally came from the bottle.
"It's me... Humph, since you can't destroy me anyway, why can't we just coexist peacefully? Honestly, I can sign a pact with you, as long as you return my body to me."
After hearing this, the dean and Teacher Shen's faces suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Seeing this, Su Lan directly injected a stream of spiritual power into the bottle, making the Demon Lord shut up.
After a moment, the dean finally regained his composure. He took a deep breath and asked, "When can we set up the formation you mentioned to eliminate this hidden danger?"
Su Lan knew that the dean was extremely anxious, but she still replied calmly: "This will have to wait until the vice-dean successfully deals with the third body." Su Lan knew in her heart that the male protagonist's aura was only 40% left, and even if she set up the formation now, it would not be able to fully play its role.
The dean nodded in understanding. He knew time was short, but he also understood that things had to proceed according to plan.
Then he added, "Well, Old Tian has always been very quick to act. Since it's already known that this student, Duanmu Rong, is colluding with the devil, we should first lock her up in the Facing Wall Cliff in the back mountain and wait for the emperors of various countries and the Duanmu family to arrive before we put her on trial."
Su Lan did not raise any objections, because she knew it was a necessary procedure. Moreover, the nightmare she had carefully woven for the heroine had just begun.
At this moment, Duanmu Rong was lying in the cold cave, her dreams shrouded in endless fear.
In her dream, she saw countless disgusting bugs crawling on her body. No matter how she resisted and drove them away, these bugs seemed to have keen perception and could always cleverly avoid her attacks.
When she finally realized that she was a fighter and tried to use her fighting spirit to fight against the hawk-eyed insects, the scene before her terrified her - the densely packed insects suddenly reorganized to form an extremely huge insect, several feet tall and several feet wide!
The appearance of this giant insect made Duanmu Rong fall into extreme panic. She tried to escape from this terrible scene, but the giant insect actually spoke, and the familiar voice was made by her beloved Demon Lord!
Duanmu Rong couldn't bear such a blow. She knew this was a dream and only death or extreme pain could return her to the real world. So, without hesitation, she rushed to the cliff and jumped off.
The next moment, Duanmu Rong suddenly woke up and looked around the empty cave, her heart filled with confusion and bewilderment. She couldn't help but ask herself: "Why do I, as the heroine, have to go through such hardships?"
She firmly believed that all this was done deliberately by Su Lan. That hateful woman deliberately used disgusting insects to deceive her in an attempt to make her misunderstand the Lord Demon.
"How could the Demon Lord have such an ugly body?" Duanmu Rong firmly believed that this was just a malicious scam and she was determined not to be fooled easily.
How could she possibly accept this? So, she gradually turned evil, shouting outside the cave every day that she wanted to see Su Lan. The elder guarding her was so annoyed by Duan Murong's constant presence that he eventually went to find Su Lan, his student.
Su Lan also learned from Tuanzi that Duanmu Rong not only lost her heroine's halo, but also turned evil, so she decided to meet her.
When the two met, Duanmu Rong immediately pounced on Su Lan, shouting, "Su Lan, why are you trying to hurt me?" Fortunately, Su Lan reacted quickly and dodged sideways, causing Duanmu Rong to fall to the ground in embarrassment.
"You brought all this upon yourself, didn't you, Miss Duanmu?" Su Lan brushed off the nonexistent dust on her body with disdain and sneered, "You traveled through time and space, and you had the opportunity to not follow the plot of the novel, but you chose to fall in love with the Demon Lord and even wanted to destroy the world for him. Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Hmph, what are you so proud of? Lord Demon is immortal. Unless you cultivate to become a Douhuang and perish with him, how can you do anything to him? Are you willing to do that?"
"By the way, you'd better let me go now, and then help me clarify the rumors outside, saying that I am the hero who captured the Demon Lord. Otherwise, I will tell this method to the dean and make you disappear into thin air." A hint of cunning flashed in Duanmu Rong's eyes. She seemed to think that she had caught Su Lan's handle, and smiled triumphantly.
She began to imagine the scene after she got out, being worshipped as a hero by everyone, enjoying endless glory and praise, and her heart couldn't help but feel elated.
"Are you willing to let the handsome Demon Lord be killed by me?" Su Lan crossed his arms and looked at her with interest.
"How could I be soft-hearted towards the devil? Su Lan, you'd better give me an answer now." Duanmu Rong's tone was threatening and her eyes were firm, as if she had made up her mind to get what she wanted.
However, Duanmu Rong remains selfish, focusing solely on her own interests and glory, while neglecting the feelings of others. She's willing to sacrifice even the Demon Lord for supreme glory. This selfishness leaves one chillingly cold.
Su Lan smiled and took out the jade bottle containing the Demon Lord from his personal space. He shook it gently with a hint of teasing on his lips: "Master Demon Lord, is your little chess piece going to destroy you?"
