Stepping in for the Heroine to Crush the Protagonist Group [Transmigration] - Chapter 70: The End

A century later, in the Fox Clan.

Inside the Fox King’s Bamboo Tower, two figures sat facing each other, engrossed in a game of Five-in-a-Row.

Chen Yidong picked up a black stone from the game box, placed it on the board, and glanced up at Gu Sheng with a teasing smile. “After just half a year as Demon Venerable, you’ve already abandoned the entire Demon Race to its fate. You truly are a perfect match for Li Li.”

Chen Yidong, who frequently saw the former Young Sect Master of Tianyan Sect, now the Demon Venerable, coming to her Fox Clan to freeload, shook her head helplessly. The Fox Clan was being bled dry, though the high-grade and ancient divine artifacts Gu Sheng had given her over the years had largely offset the losses.

When Chen Yidong teased her, Gu Sheng calmly took a sip of tea, placed a stone on the chessboard, and retorted, “If not with me, then with whom?”

Her words were casual, but Chen Yidong found herself utterly speechless. Chen Yidong could only take a deep breath, suppress her urge to fight Gu Sheng, and pick up another stone from the chess basket, intending to continue the game.

Just as she was about to place the stone, Gu Sheng used a spell to freeze her hand in mid-air, pointed to a corner of the chessboard, and declared, “I win.”

Chen Yidong: ?

She stared at the board in silence for a moment, then realized Gu Sheng had indeed won. After a moment of frustration, she exchanged chess baskets with Gu Sheng and said, “One more game.”

But Gu Sheng remained unmoved, simply stating, “You’ve lost twenty-eight games already.”

Chen Yidong: …… She fell silent again, the silence deafening.

As if oblivious to the tension, Gu Sheng added, “And you haven’t won a single one.”

Chen Yidong: …………

She was truly speechless. But as the Fox King, she couldn’t allow herself to be mocked or dominated by her opponent. So, she gathered up the chess pieces, feigning magnanimity, and asked Gu Sheng, “If we’re not playing chess, what else can we do?”

Gu Sheng glanced at her and replied tersely, “Let me see Li Li.” Ever since Hu Li had returned to the Fox Clan to reshape her body, Chen Yidong had kept Gu Sheng confined. As a result, she hadn’t seen Hu Li for two full days and an additional three hours.

But Chen Yidong immediately refused. “Absolutely not.”

Gu Sheng remained impassive. “Just one look.”

Chen Yidong narrowed her eyes, forcing a smile. “Not even half a look.”

Gu Sheng knew this. After a brief standoff, she stated bluntly, “Let’s fight.”

Hearing this, Chen Yidong instinctively rubbed her still-tender jaw before waving her hands frantically. “No way.”

(The Comment section, recently restored by Gu Sheng, was actively discussing the scene):

Dongzi’s terrified of Sheng-sheng’s beatdowns.

The memory of Sheng-sheng utterly thrashing Dongzi is still vivid.

Sheng-sheng hasn’t cuddled with her wife in ages! What’s wrong with just one look?!

Dongzi, let her look. Don’t make me kneel and beg you.

Sheng-sheng: You’re making the child anxious.

Dongzi, having shed her role as Gu Sheng’s rival, now assumed the mantle of Li Li’s overprotective mother, determined to make Gu Sheng’s life miserable.

Laughing my ass off! If I’m suffering, my former rival will suffer too!

Gu Sheng, glancing at the Comments, couldn’t help but curl her lip downward, lower her head, and fall silent.

Chen Yidong, misinterpreting Gu Sheng’s reaction as anger toward her, pondered for a moment before changing the subject. “What happened to that Demon Crow you and Li Li brought back last time?”

“Demon Crow?” Gu Sheng took a sip of tea, replying casually, “Roasted it.”

Chen Yidong stared blankly for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, “Roasted it?!” She never imagined Gu Sheng would be jealous of a mere crow.

(The Comment section reacted again):

Dongzi: I’m scared.

Dongzi: She didn’t even spare a crow!

Dongzi: The Demon Venerable is terrifying beyond measure!

Aaaaaah! Who keeps calling Chen Yidong “Dongzi”? Damn it, I just clicked into the comments section and I’m dying of laughter.

Gu Sheng: ……

She lifted her gaze, ignoring the countless “Dongzi” comments floating around her, and looked at Chen Yidong. She noticed that Chen Yidong was indeed fidgeting nervously. A thought struck her. With a barely perceptible lift of her eyebrow, she deliberately said, “Before roasting it, I plucked all its feathers.”

Chen Yidong: ?! She gasped sharply.

Ignoring Chen Yidong’s reaction, Gu Sheng narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly. “I plucked it clean not a single feather left.”

Chen Yidong: ?!! She pressed her lips together, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and forced a stiff smile. “Actually, if you really want to see just a glimpse or a quick look, it wouldn’t be a big deal.”

(The Comment section exploded):

LOL, Dongzi chickened out.

Requesting the square footage of Dongzi’s psychological trauma.

Dongzi waking up in the middle of the night: Wait, is she crazy or something?

Sheng-sheng: Plan successful.

Sheng-sheng: Time to go see my wife~

I’m so curious—once Li Li transforms back into human form, will she still be able to maintain her dominant position?

I’m even more curious about how Li Li and Sheng-sheng handled their… urges… when Li Li was the Small Red Fox.

Hmm…

Huh? Hu Li had just stepped into the Bamboo Tower when she saw the room filled with floating Hmm… comments.

Frowning, she glanced at Gu Sheng before turning her gaze to Chen Yidong. “What’s this about ‘half a glance’ and ‘a full look’? What are you two talking about?”

Hearing Hu Li’s question, Chen Yidong met her gaze. Seeing that Hu Li had returned to her human form, she hurriedly tried to stand up and pull her over to sit down. However, when her eyes met Gu Sheng’s, she obediently remained seated, explaining to Hu Li, “It’s nothing. Gu Sheng just said she wanted to come see you.”

“Is that so?” Hu Li settled down beside Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng nodded in agreement. After creating some distance between them, she carefully examined Hu Li from head to toe. “How’s your recovery going?”

Hu Li smiled. “Not bad.” With that, she scooted closer to Gu Sheng, pressing herself tightly against her.

(The Comment section chimed in again):

Dongzi: Can they not see I’m here?

Dongzi: I shouldn’t be here. I should be under the car.

Dongzi is truly radiating warmth and energy every moment.

The day the Fox Clan gets electricity, Dongzi, their Fox King, will deserve half the credit.

Dongzi is such a huge third wheel.

Hu Li: ……

Her gaze skimmed over the comments, and she glanced at Chen Yidong, feeling a little embarrassed. She was about to draw her into the conversation when Chen Yidong suddenly asked, “Gu Sheng roasted your Demon Crow, aren’t you angry?”

“Roasted my Demon Crow?” Hu Li froze for a few seconds, then looked at Gu Sheng.

But Gu Sheng merely lowered her eyes and sipped her tea, remaining silent.

Across from them, Chen Yidong nodded vigorously, adding, “Yes, the Demon Crow you brought to the Fox Clan last time.”

Hu Li: …………

After a moment of silence, she read through the comments to understand the situation, then explained to Chen Yidong, “Gu Sheng didn’t roast the Demon Crow, and no one else did either. I was just worried it would lead the wild geese back to the Fox Clan again, so I entrusted it to two younger disciples to look after for a few days.”

Chen Yidong: “Oh, I see.” Her tone carried a hint of disappointment.

Hu Li awkwardly rubbed her forehead and mumbled an “Mm-hmm,” and the atmosphere turned chilly.

After a long silence, Gu Sheng finally broke the tension. “Li Li, where are you planning to go next?” she asked Hu Li.

Beside her, Chen Yidong chimed in, “Yeah, Li Li, where are you headed next?”

“Well…” Hu Li tilted her head back, avoiding their gazes as she pondered for a moment. “First, I’ll retrieve System. Then, I’ll wander around the Cultivation World.” She turned to Gu Sheng. “What do you think?”

Gu Sheng nodded. “Sounds good.”
