I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 94

Chapter 94

“Heh, kill me?” Huangfu Yue’s eyes were cold as she looked at Ruyan, her voice chilling.

Looking at Huangfu Yue’s deep, icy gaze, Ruyan felt a shiver run through her body.

It was like being watched by a venomous snake, a chilling and involuntary feeling of dread.

Ruyan forced herself to withstand the oppressive aura and sneered, “Do you really want to know? Even if the price is something you can’t bear.”

Huangfu Yue didn’t speak. She just gave Ruyan a calm look.

Rather than interrogating Ruyan, she was more concerned about whether Ji Wan was sleeping soundly.

Seeing that Huangfu Yue didn’t react, Ruyan continued, “Only I know how to use the key to the Dragon’s Lair Treasure, and I have a condition—give Jiang Li to me.”

The air suddenly froze.

Huangfu Yue’s gaze on Ruyan became scrutinizing, while Jiang Li, standing at the very edge of the room, stiffened.

“Jiang Li, come here,” Huangfu Yue said to Jiang Li, who was hiding in the shadows.

Jiang Li slowly approached, without hesitation, until she was in front of Ruyan.

“I’m leaving her to you. Find out the truth, by any means necessary,” Huangfu Yue said coldly.

Then she left.

Only the slightly flustered Jiang Li and the gradually smiling Ruyan remained.

In Ji Wan’s room.

Huangfu Yue shed the coldness she had shown to Ruyan, and her eyes filled with tenderness.

She gently removed Ji Wan’s cumbersome outer garment to help her sleep more comfortably.

“Mmm,” Ji Wan felt the tight belt around her waist being loosened, and a comfortable sound involuntarily came from her mouth.

Ji Wan’s soft,糯-like voice was very low, but it made Huangfu Yue’s eyes deepen.

She gently caressed Ji Wan’s lightly made-up cheek, looking at the different kind of beauty she had after putting on makeup, which was a departure from her usual self.

She was clearly beautiful, but when Huangfu Yue thought about why Ji Wan had put on the makeup.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Huangfu Yue’s eyes, and the expensive palace dress was casually thrown on the floor.

She got up, brought some water, and wet a handkerchief.

She meticulously removed Ji Wan’s makeup little by little, revealing her unadorned, obedient, and cute appearance.

“Mmm, itchy, stop it,” Ji Wan mumbled in her sleep, feeling an itch on her face.

She lightly waved her hand to swat away the wet friction on her face, not even opening her eyes. She turned her head and continued to fall into a deep sleep.

But the wet feeling on her face kept bothering her relentlessly.

In her dream, Ji Wan felt as if she was surrounded by a group of cute puppies, who were constantly kissing her cheek.

Although puppies were cute, this felt a little scary.

Ji Wan was so sleepy, but she tried to open her eyes and escape the dream.

But she couldn’t open her eyes no matter how hard she tried.

Huangfu Yue looked at Ji Wan, who was even in her sleep.

Even though she was clearly tired, her little eyebrows were twitching restlessly.

The corners of her mouth curved up slightly, and she gently caressed Ji Wan’s smooth cheek, her voice soft. “You’re not even well-behaved when you’re asleep.”

Feeling a hand with a cool touch gently on her cheek.

Ji Wan gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, Ji Wan turned to move closer to Huangfu Yue.

Huangfu Yue was about to lift her hand.

But her hand was grabbed by Ji Wan and pressed against her chest.

It was as if she was hugging a little puppy in her dream.

Ji Wan fell into a deep sleep again.

Huangfu Yue found it amusing and wanted to pull her hand out so Ji Wan could rest well.

But Ji Wan held onto Huangfu Yue’s hand tightly, not letting go.

At the same time, Ji Wan murmured in her sleep, “Mmm, be a good boy, don’t move around.”

And feeling the soft touch that her hand had inadvertently rubbed against.

Huangfu Yue’s expression froze, and a blush appeared on her fair face.

She wanted to pull her hand free, but Ji Wan not only didn’t let go, she hugged her even tighter.

“Mmm, Yue,” Ji Wan didn’t know what she was dreaming about, and she softly called out Huangfu Yue’s name.

In her dream, Ji Wan suddenly saw it.

She and Huangfu Yue had become very good friends.

Then Ji Wan recommended many beautiful women to her.

And Huangfu Yue rewarded her with a lot of gold and jewelry…

Looking at all the glittering gold.

“Hehe,” the sleeping Ji Wan couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Looking at Ji Wan’s hand hugging her wrist, and the silly smile on her face when she said her name.

Huangfu Yue’s eyes softened. “Do you like her so much?”

She simply lay down with Ji Wan.

Huangfu Yue gently held Ji Wan in her arms and kissed her forehead, whispering tenderly, “I’m here.”

Huangfu Yue’s voice carried an imperceptible hint of love.

She gently patted Ji Wan’s back, comforting her.

Ji Wan also obediently nestled into Huangfu Yue’s shoulder, finding a comfortable sleeping position in her dream.

She hugged Huangfu Yue and fell into a deep sleep again.

Meanwhile, Jiang Li on the other side was clearly not as lucky.

“Come here. Are you afraid I’ll eat you?” Ruyan looked at Jiang Li, who was standing still and not daring to look at her after Huangfu Yue had left.

Her eyes were full of teasing, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

“You should tell me how to open the Dragon’s Lair Treasure now,” Jiang Li said, feigning indifference.

“Do you really want to know?” Ruyan’s voice was no longer playful; it had a hint of seriousness.

“Yes,” Jiang Li nodded lightly.

This was a crucial part of Huangfu Yue’s successful revenge, and they had to get it.

It was the treasure passed down through generations of the Huangfu royal family, the key to turning the tables.

“Then come over, get closer to me, and I’ll tell you,” Ruyan continued.

Jiang Li listened to her seriously. Also, Ruyan’s hands were tied tightly.

It seemed like she couldn’t stir up any trouble for now.

So she obediently walked forward.

“Squat down. You’re too tall,” Ruyan commanded.

Even though Jiang Li found her request a little strange.

She didn’t think much of it and did as Ruyan instructed.

But in the next second, a cloud of tranquilizer smoke floated by.

“You…”

It was too late for Jiang Li to realize what was happening.

She was caught off guard and inhaled a lot of it.

Regret appeared in Jiang Li’s eyes. Why had she trusted this woman again?

Suddenly, she felt her body go soft.

Jiang Li lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground.

A pair of soft arms reached out.

In the next second, Jiang Li was pulled into Ruyan’s embrace.

It turned out that Ruyan had somehow undone the ropes tied around her.

“Silly, you trusted me so much,” Ruyan’s voice was filled with laughter.

But Jiang Li was already too soft to make a sound. She could only grit her teeth and glare fiercely at Ruyan with her eyes.

“Alright, don’t look at me like that. I have to go. But we’ll meet again.”

Ruyan’s voice was gentle, as soft as a woman from the south, making one want to protect her.

But Jiang Li clearly had no such thoughts.

Jiang Li was pressed against Ruyan’s chest, feeling the soft waves.

Her face inexplicably turned red.

It must be from anger!!

She had been played by Ruyan twice.

This woman was shameless.

Ruyan struggled to move Jiang Li to the chair she was in and sat her down.

“Why are you looking at me like that? You don’t want me to leave?” Ruyan looked at Jiang Li’s angry expression, touched her cheek, and laughed softly.

“But before I go, here’s another gift.” Ruyan looked at Jiang Li’s fixed stare.

She reached out and covered her eyes.

Then she bent down and gently kissed her.

It was a light kiss, without any depth.

When Ruyan gently pulled away, she clearly felt Jiang Li’s eyelashes trembling under her hand.

Ruyan felt her own face getting hot.

A sweet and satisfying feeling filled her heart.

But for now, she couldn’t be with Jiang Li openly.

At least not yet.

Ruyan wanted to turn around and leave, not wanting to see Jiang Li’s resistant or even disgusted gaze.

But her hand had just left Jiang Li’s eyes.

In the next second, her hand was grabbed.

And then she was pulled forward.

It was Jiang Li.

She was biting her lip tightly, her eyes fixed on Ruyan.

“Alright, stop biting.”

Ruyan looked at Jiang Li, who was barely conscious but still biting her lip, holding her and not letting her go.

Seeing Jiang Li about to bite through her lip.

A hint of distress and heartbreak flashed in Ruyan’s eyes.

Even though she knew that Jiang Li was just a mission to her, Ruyan’s heart still held a glimmer of hope.

That Jiang Li liked her and didn’t want her to leave.

“I can’t stay long. Remember, protect Ji Wan and be careful of Ji Minghao,” Ruyan sighed softly.

She left this piece of information.

She broke free from Jiang Li’s weak grip and used her Qinggong to flash away.

Leaving Jiang Li alone.

…

“She ran away?”

Huangfu Yue looked at Jiang Li kneeling in front of her and said softly.

She looked at the teacup she was holding, gently swirling the liquid.

“This subordinate was incompetent. I am willing to be punished,” Jiang Li said calmly.

“Forget it. Go and keep an eye on Ji Minghao. I want to know his every move,” Huangfu Yue emphasized lightly.

“Yes,” Jiang Li said and then retreated.

Huangfu Yue looked at the reflection of her dark pupils in the water of her teacup.

She couldn’t help but fall into thought. “Protect Ji Wan…”

What was the connection between the Dragon’s Lair Treasure and Ji Wan?

Ji Wan woke up early in the morning, not yet fully conscious, when she was summoned to the palace by Ji Yuanhan, who had been worried about her all night.

After finally comforting her worried father and mother.

It was already dusk.

Ji Wan was finally able to return to her residence.

As she walked towards the palace exit, she was about to get into her carriage.

“Wan’er,” a clear male voice called out.

The curtain of another carriage next to Ji Wan’s was pulled open, revealing Ji Minghao’s handsome face.

“Royal brother,” Ji Wan looked up, seeing it was Ji Minghao, and responded obediently.

“It’s getting late, and I’m also going back to my residence. Let me give you a ride. We can catch up, my little sister,” Ji Minghao said gently.

He gestured for the coachman to open the curtain.

It was an ordinary interaction between siblings.

But a subtle, deep meaning appeared in Ji Minghao’s eyes.

“Okay, thank you, royal brother,” Ji Wan couldn’t refuse the brother who had always been so good to her in the original host’s memory, and she agreed.

But as soon as she spoke, “Host, the original plot seems to have a loophole. The plot has deviated.”

System 111, having nothing to do, re-read the plot and suddenly found many deviations from the original work.

It realized that there might be some uncontrollable factors in this world.

And it might be dangerous for Ji Wan.

So it quickly reminded Ji Wan.

“Deviation?” Ji Wan’s foot, which was about to step into Ji Minghao’s carriage, paused.

“What’s wrong, Wan’er?” Ji Minghao noticed Ji Wan’s pause and asked softly.

“Royal brother, I might not be able to go back with you for now. I suddenly remembered that I left something with father and mother.”

After hearing the system’s warning, Ji Wan became vigilant.

Her sixth sense told her that Ji Minghao was very strange.

So she subconsciously refused.

“It’s okay. You can get in the carriage first. I’ll send someone to get it for you.”

Ji Minghao still maintained the gentle brotherly demeanor and said softly.

His tone and expression were so normal.

But for some reason, he gave Ji Wan a very strange feeling.

The kind of feeling that made her body go cold, a chilling sense of dread.
