Phoenix A has Gone Viral Across the Entire Internet! - Chapter 1

“Being even a few percent like her is your honor. Jiang Zhiwan, I hope you can understand your position!”

Who was it? Who said something so incredibly cliché?

While Shen Nian wondered this in her heart, she also inexplicably felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong. Why did those words seem to come out of her own mouth?

Thinking of this, Shen Nian was suddenly startled. As her consciousness fully returned, she realized that everything around her felt foreign, from the swimming pool she was in to the cold beauty standing before her.

One must understand that as a little bird who loved the sky, she hated water! Furthermore, she disliked swimming!

Shen Nian was still trying to grasp the situation when she snapped back to reality upon hearing a faint, muffled groan.

The source of the sound was a cold-type beauty. Although the woman’s aura was distant and rebuffing, her indifferent eyes looked beautiful as they reflected the warm sunlight.

Seeing the woman’s slightly furrowed brows, Shen Nian realized she was tightly gripping the other’s wrist. She instinctively let go.

But the moment she released her, she felt it was inappropriate and quickly grabbed it back. This time, however, the strength she used was much lighter than before.

Jiang Zhiwan did not know what kind of game this person was playing, and her frown deepened slightly.

No, now was not the time to have a falling out.

Contrary to her expectations, after that bout of cold mockery, Shen Nian did not do anything extraordinary. Instead, she used Jiang Zhiwan’s hand as leverage to climb out of the pool.

After leaving the pool, Shen Nian immediately sat on a lounge chair under a nearby umbrella. She grabbed a towel hanging from the handle and began to dry herself off.

Although the cool sensation on her skin was somewhat comfortable, she still preferred feeling dry.

She focused so intently on drying off that she did not notice the woman, who previously had such a strong presence, had followed her and was now standing close by.

Shen Nian’s thoughts were still a mess. After a brief observation, she realized this was not TUQ Star, where she originally lived.

Was this book-transmigration? Or just regular time travel? For that matter, did she not have a standard-issue System or something?

While Shen Nian was lost in thought, a shadow fell over her. Immediately after, a warm weight pressed down upon her body.

A faint scent of roses drifted into Shen Nian’s nose, asserting its presence. The scent was unique, making her unable to resist taking an extra sniff.

When Jiang Zhiwan noticed the slight twitch of the other’s nose, she sneered inwardly, though her face remained expressionless.

Wait! Jiang Zhiwan? Rose scent?

Shen Nian suddenly snapped to her senses. She knew where she was!

This was the ABO world from the TUQ Star bestseller, After Becoming a Substitute for the Scum Alpha, the Heroine Darkened!

Shen Nian wanted to sort out the situation, but Jiang Zhiwan was not going to give her any more time.

The woman seemed to hesitate for a moment, but eventually, she curled her lips and pressed her arm against Shen Nian’s shoulder.

It was a dangerous and ambiguous posture. It looked as if the two would make intimate contact in the next second, kissing with enough passion to spark a fire.

Looking at the lips that were gradually approaching, Shen Nian’s eyes suddenly widened. She managed to force out a sound: “Wait, wait a minute.”

Apparently not expecting Shen Nian to suddenly interrupt, a flash of bewilderment crossed Jiang Zhiwan’s eyes. She kept her hand braced on the other’s shoulder and said with interest: “Wait? Wait for what? Is this not what you have always looked forward to?”

Shen Nian had tried every means possible to force her to sign that near-sponsorship agreement and then frequently applied malicious pressure. Was it not all because she wanted to break her pride and make her behave like a proper substitute?

Even just now, the woman was repeatedly telling her to understand her position.

Jiang Zhiwan did not believe this person could suddenly have a change of heart. If she called a halt, it was probably out of some sudden, twisted whim.

However, she was willing to wait and see just how Shen Nian would continue to challenge her bottom line.

Shen Nian turned her head to the side. While slowly reaching out to gently push Jiang Zhiwan away, she said tentatively: “I was too emotional just now. I apologize to you. As for other matters, let us talk after you have thought things through clearly.”

After a pause, she continued: “Regarding which play you will participate in next, I will no longer interfere. Don’t worry.”

Shen Nian had always been arrogant and capricious. Even if she was wrong, she would never easily admit it.

Seeing the other party express an apology so calmly was naturally beyond Jiang Zhiwan’s expectations.

Shen Nian did not know that Jiang Zhiwan was wary of additional conditions and that was why she had not replied for a long time. She simply assumed the woman had taken her words to heart. “I still have some things to handle, so I am leaving first. You should remember to dry off in a bit, or you might catch a cold.”

After giving the simple instructions, the Alpha stood up and left. She was completely unaware of how the Omega behind her watched her back, her gaze gradually turning deep and profound.

Shortly after Shen Nian left, Jiang Zhiwan casually tossed aside the towel the other had handed her. She stepped forward with her long legs and leaned against another nearby lounge chair.

The Omega slowly raised her hand. Something issued a glint of silver in the slanted sunlight.

It was a small, inconspicuous paperclip.

It looked harmless, but it actually hid a fatal danger.

If that Alpha had accepted the Omega’s active seduction just now, this paperclip would have been stabbed fiercely into that person’s gland. It would not have been a one-hit kill, but it would have been enough to leave her with a lifelong disability.

Recalling everything that had just happened, Jiang Zhiwan withdrew her hand and tossed the useless paperclip onto the ground.

Shen Nian had a problem. There was no doubt about that.

Otherwise, based on her understanding of that Alpha from her previous life, the woman definitely should not have reacted that way.

And Jiang Zhiwan shifted her gaze to the clean towel nearby and revealed a somewhat cynical smile.

To think she could actually be this meticulous.

Shen Nian, what kind of trick are you playing now?

Shen Nian was still unaware that she had narrowly escaped a disaster.

After leaving the pool, she did not stop until she found a bedroom and closed the door behind her.

After doing all this, Shen Nian took a deep breath.

“Hey, you should be the System. Come out.”

“I heard you reminding me about the Protagonist’s Darkening Value +2 earlier.”

“There is no one else here now. It is time for you to explain what is going on, right?”

While saying these words, Shen Nian scanned the bedroom. She felt the room was empty of any living atmosphere, containing nothing but a bed and a wardrobe.

She waited patiently for a moment. Sure enough, a stiff mechanical voice rang out in her mind: “Hello, Host. The AZK System is at your service.”

The sudden voice did not sound pleasant. Shen Nian could not help but rub her ears, feeling like she was suffering from mental pollution.

The System seemed to know what she was thinking. It quickly switched to a vibrant voice and continued the conversation: “Hello, Host! Just call me 432. Welcome to the AZK System binding!”

432 was clearly a talkative System and said a lot of random things.

Shen Nian listened intently and extracted the key information: it turned out she really had died. She was only able to possess consciousness now because of the AZK System Research Plan she had signed before her death, which granted her a chance at a new life.

The AZK System had randomly deployed her soul, and it just so happened to land in this bestseller from TUQ Star.

Shen Nian gave a fake smile: “I have acted in so many scripts, yet you did not choose any of those. You had to throw me into a dog-blood novel written by my arch-rival for an adventure, did you not?”

432 explained considerately: “This was automatically extracted at the moment of the Host’s physical death. No one has the right to interfere.” In other words, the System was not taking the blame for this.

Fine. She would just count it as bad luck and a fated, ill-natured connection with her arch-rival.

Heh, that person really was her jinx. Even in death, she would not let her go.

Thinking of this, Shen Nian could not help but curl her lip. She knew back then that her arch-rival had not been up to any good when she used Shen Nian’s name for a character in the book.

Now, she was the Scum Alpha herself, a stepping stone on the heroine’s path to darkening, and a synonym for a miserable death in the future. This new life after death might as well be unwanted.

Wait, no. Back on the technologically advanced TUQ Star, she possessed noble Phoenix blood!

Shen Nian was suddenly struck with alarm. She began to check the changes in her body while questioning 432: “Since I have been deployed to this world, will I be unable to transform in the future?”

Her handsome, hard beak! Her beautiful white feathers!

One must know that she was currently the only seedling of the Phoenix clan among all the bird tribes!

Seeing Shen Nian looking like she was about to burst into tears, 432 hurriedly explained: “I know you are sad, but do not be sad just yet. Aside from growing a gland to adapt to this world, Host, your Phoenix lineage is still preserved. You can transform whenever you want.”

“Hmm?” Shen Nian was skeptical.

She decided to try it for herself to ease her mind.

Sure enough, with a single thought, a beautiful ink-wash style little bird appeared on the huge double bed in the room.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp?” Little Shen-Chirp tilted her head.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!” I really can still transform!

This realization turned Shen Nian’s sorrow into joy. She immediately flew two or three happy laps around the ceiling.

The feeling of still being able to fly was wonderful. It meant the sole bloodline of her Phoenix clan had not been cut off!

At this moment, Shen Nian felt that the AZK System Research Plan she had signed on a whim years ago was truly fantastic.

After the ink-wash bird had flown enough, she landed steadily on the bed and lay on her back to rest.

Once those small round eyes closed, the entire bird appeared incredibly lazy.

Although she was resting with her eyes closed due to the physical exertion, her communication with 432 did not stop: “You said earlier that if I want to live in this world for a long time, I have to do my best to manage the heroine’s darkening value?”

432 agreed: “That is right. Once the heroine’s darkening value maxes out, this small world the Host is in will face the danger of collapsing. In that case, next time, there is no guarantee which book the Host will be transported to.”

By then, there was no telling if Shen Nian’s Phoenix bloodline could still be maintained.

Shen Nian understood the implication behind 432’s words.

She immediately became anxious.

How could that be allowed? She was the sole seedling of the Phoenix clan! This bloodline must never be discarded!

She was definitely staying in this ABO world!

Before Shen Nian could express her grand ambitions and determination, the sound of a door opening, an unexpected sound, startled her.

At the moment she stared wide-eyed at Jiang Zhiwan, Shen Nian suddenly realized a serious problem.

It turned out this was not even her room!
