Chapter Five: Long Aotian
Right now, this future heroine, one of them, is lowering her eyes in front of her, showing a pitiful appearance like a child who has made a mistake.
Yifu carefully recalls the plot of the original work; this is the greatest information gap for her, and she must take good advantage of it.
At present, both the timing and Leia’s state align with the original work, except that after Long Aotian, the male protagonist, discovers Leia, she is already in a dying state after having ingested poison.
Because the male protagonist Long Aotian saves her, Leia feels like she has been given a second life, which is why she becomes infatuated with him.
After that, she will take on the role of the cunning little wolf, Yifu’s adopted daughter, becoming the male protagonist’s second strongest right-hand.
After all, her talent is recognized by the Great Witch Yifu, and while humans hold a deep aversion towards witches, Long Aotian, as the male protagonist, has a different perspective on issues.
A girl recognized by the witch is not simply a case of being irredeemably tainted by associating with a witch; setting aside the Church’s political correctness, gaining a witch’s recognition indeed speaks volumes about one’s strength.
Moreover, due to her association with the witch, she will inevitably face ostracism from others. During such times, if someone were to extend a hand to her, Long Aotian would be the only ray of light in Leia’s despairing life.
“Sly, really sly. No wonder he is Long Aotian,” Yifu muttered to herself while stroking her chin.
This is merely a superficial phenomenon, but according to Yifu’s understanding, this matter is far from simple.
After all, this worldview is not as beautiful as normal people might imagine; it is twisted to the extreme.
This is a world of small凰文, specifically existing to twist reality to its limits.
In fact, as Yifu surveys the entire text, the only person who can be considered relatively normal is her, who dies at the beginning and sends Long Aotian his new beginner gift package.
Yifu’s death results from the cunning little wolf’s denunciation; but who incited the cunning little wolf to do this?
After all, Yifu had raised the cunning little wolf for a while, and speaking of the favor of raising her, it would not have been surprising if the cunning little wolf had not repaid her, but how could she put Yifu in danger?
This must be related to Long Aotian because Yifu’s death benefits not the cunning little wolf the most… but Long Aotian, who is leeching off the cunning little wolf.
As for why Yifu believes her death is linked to Long Aotian, it can be seen from the various despicable deeds he commits in the original work.
He is very skilled at killing with a borrowed knife.
The mastermind behind forcing Leia to this point is, in fact, Long Aotian.
The more Leia is bullied and oppressed, the easier it will be for Long Aotian to win her heart.
He even doesn’t need to do anything himself, not even to cultivate feelings; he merely needs to continuously apply pressure on Leia, and when she can no longer endure, all he needs to do is slightly pull her up according to plan, thus making Leia completely devoted to him.
It’s the kind of devotion that she can’t shake off, more loyal than a dog, but in Long Aotian’s heart, her status might be even lower than that of a dog…
Thinking of this, Yifu looked at the pitiful, frail girl before her, who seemed like she would shatter upon the slightest touch.
A wave of heartache stirred within her.
That little girl whom Yifu cherished like a treasure, the girl whom Yifu regarded as the future’s top supreme sorceress, the girl whom Yifu painstakingly rescued…
Yet she is treated like grass by Long Aotian and is brought from one abyss to another using his ostentatious kindness that even a dog would dismiss.
And this poor girl feels satisfied, believing someone has redeemed her.
She even often sneaks to Yifu’s grave to whisper, telling Yifu about her so-called happy yet tragic experiences.
“Foolish child, I don’t mean to blame you. Why have you become so thin? Has someone been bullying you?”
Yifu gently rubbed Leia’s head, and the little girl’s petite body trembled in shock from the affection. She slowly raised her head, and her eyes shone with a glimmer of light as she looked at Yifu.
“This box of medicine should be prohibited, right? Who sold it to you?”
“Don’t be afraid, I am here, aren’t I? Just tell me anything. I will protect you from now on, okay?”
