Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 15

“ROAR!!!”

The monster’s roar tore through the sky. Yun Li, who had been sleeping lightly, instantly shot upright at the sound, completely awake. Pulling out her phone, she panicked upon seeing it was only a little past three in the morning. She hurriedly stood up and rushed to the window, peering down, but saw nothing.

Tang Congyue must have encountered the monster!

The mere thought made Yun Li’s heart tremble uncontrollably. Worried that Tang Congyue might be in danger, she grabbed her windbreaker and made to dash downstairs, but after only a few steps, her wrist was caught.

Turning around, she saw it was Zhu Yaqin holding her back.

“Let go,” Yun Li said in a low voice.

Zhu Yaqin felt she had been too abrupt and released her hand with an awkward expression. “Where are you going?”

“The monster’s here. I want to check the situation downstairs.”

“Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Yun Li hummed in agreement, and the two descended to the second floor one after the other.

Reaching the first floor, they saw many people restless and uneasy. Yun Li scanned the area but didn’t see Zhao Jinhe. Realizing he must have gone to support the patrol team outside, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“With Brother Zhao here, don’t worry, Yun Li.”

Yun Li could only nod, but her hands were already tightly clasped together.

She knew that as the female lead, Tang Congyue wouldn’t face fatal danger, yet the thought of them confronting such vicious monsters made her worry incessantly.

After about five minutes, someone returned, a stranger dragging the headless corpse of a monster. Everyone on the first floor visibly relaxed at the sight.

“Another monster killed! Brother Zhao is really amazing!” Luo Zhibo couldn’t help slapping his thigh, but Xiao Huiwen gave him an awkward smile and was about to say something when he caught sight of a slender figure entering from the corner of his eye.

It was Tang Congyue returning, a kitchen knife in her hand, crimson blood dripping from the blade onto the floor, her other hand also stained with thick, sticky blood.

At a single glance, Yun Li was startled by Tang Congyue’s state. By the time she regained her senses, her misty peach-blossom eyes were moist. She hurried over anxiously, but before she could get close, Tang Congyue took several steps back, maintaining a distance between them.

“Congyue?”

“Don’t come near. I’m dirty.”

Understanding, Yun Li stopped in her tracks, though her eyes involuntarily fixed on Tang Congyue’s blood-stained hand.

Without Yun Li needing to speak, Tang Congyue guessed her thoughts and offered a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, this isn’t my blood.”

Hearing this, Yun Li sighed in relief.

At that moment, Xiao Huiwen snapped back to reality and said to Luo Zhibo, “Brother Luo, it wasn’t Brother Zhao who killed the monster.”

Luo Zhibo thought he had misheard. “What did you say?”

As he spoke, he looked at the headless monster corpse on the floor and suddenly noticed that its fur showed no signs of being scorched.

“Brother Luo, it wasn’t Brother Zhao who killed the monster,” Xiao Huiwen repeated.

Luo Zhibo began to believe him a little more. “Then who killed it?”

Seeing the monster’s corpse dragged back by Xiao Huiwen, Luo Zhibo suddenly understood something and burst out laughing, “Huiwen, not bad! How come I never noticed how brave you were before? Not only did you kill the monster, but you even chopped off its head!”

Xiao Huiwen felt embarrassed again. He didn’t dare to look in Tang Congyue’s direction, and as he recalled his earlier disdain for her just hours ago, his toes curled inside his shoes.

“Brother Luo, I didn’t kill the monster…”

“Huh?”

“Tang Congyue killed it.”

Almost as soon as Xiao Huiwen finished speaking, the eyes of everyone nearby simultaneously fell on Tang Congyue.

Luo Zhibo could hardly believe what he heard, “What did you say? Did I hear that right?”

Tang Congyue killed the monster? A woman?!

“Brother Luo, you heard right. Tang Congyue killed the monster. Shi Shuai and I saw it with our own eyes.”

Luo Zhibo was dumbfounded. Looking at Tang Congyue’s hands stained with thick blood, he finally understood everything.

Damn, a woman, and she’s that powerful? She actually dared to kill a monster?!

No wonder, no wonder she had the guts to challenge Zhao Jinhe.

Hearing their conversation, Yun Li also turned her peach blossom eyes eagerly toward Tang Congyue.

Tang Congyue spoke up at this moment, “Yes, what he said is true.”

After saying this, she looked at Xiao Huiwen, “Hurry up and dispose of the monster’s body. The strong smell of blood will attract more monsters.”

“Okay! I’ll get someone to handle it right away!”

Perhaps because witnessing Tang Congyue single-handedly kill the monster was too shocking, Xiao Huiwen now obeyed Tang Congyue without question.

Tang Congyue gave a faint hum, “I’m going to wash my hands.”

After speaking, she headed toward the restroom.

Seeing this, Yun Li quickly followed her.

By now, Zhu Yaqin had also recovered from the shock of “Tang Congyue killing the monster.” She glanced at the headless monster and took a sharp breath.

Truly worthy of Tang Congyue!

She’s really amazing!

After a moment’s thought, Zhu Yaqin trotted after Tang Congyue and the others.

“Congyue, are you hurt?”

To be honest, Xiao Huiwen’s words had also startled Yun Li, but remembering that Tang Congyue was the female lead, who appeared sickly but was actually highly skilled, Yun Li relaxed. Still, she worried Tang Congyue might be injured.

“No, I’m not hurt.” Tang Congyue arrived at the sink, turned on the faucet, and let the cold water rinse her hands. She washed them several times but still felt it wasn’t enough. Fortunately, there was hand soap at the sink. She squeezed out a pump and meticulously cleaned her hands.

Hearing this, Yun Li’s anxious heart finally settled, “That’s good, that’s good.”

Tang Congyue gave a soft hum. Suddenly, the image of the monster becoming dazed when they locked eyes flashed before her. This wasn’t the first time it had happened, it was too strange. Could this be her ability?

Thinking of Zhao Jinhe’s ability, Tang Congyue couldn’t help but connect the two incidents, though she still wasn’t entirely sure. She needed to test it a few more times.

Remembering she had joined the patrol team and would have plenty of opportunities to verify her theory, she didn’t dwell on it further.

At that moment, Zhu Yaqin approached, “Tang Congyue, you’re amazing! You actually killed a monster!”

As she spoke, her face was full of excitement.

In response, Tang Congyue’s expression remained calm, completely devoid of the pride and joy others might have shown.

“I think the monsters are pretty easy to kill.”

“Really?” Zhu Yaqin didn’t believe it.

Tang Congyue wanted to say yes, but then she remembered she had only won because the monster was motionless at the time. This method clearly wouldn’t work for Zhu Yaqin, so she hummed thoughtfully, “Well, they’re easy for me to kill, but others might not find it so simple.”

Zhu Yaqin: “…”

Alright, so she was one of those “others,” right?

She was too exhausted to even complain.

…

By the time Zhao Jinhe returned with his team, Xiao Huiwen had already had the cafeteria chef process the monster.

Zhao Jinhe looked around but didn’t see Tang Congyue, so he waved Luo Zhibo over.

“Brother Zhao,” Luo Zhibo approached.

“Where’s Tang Congyue?”

“She went to the restroom.”

“Alright, when she comes back, let her know that the monster’s corpse belongs to her.”

“Why?” Luo Zhibo’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Because she single-handedly killed it. From now on, anyone who manages to solo a monster will also get to keep its corpse.”

Luo Zhibo took a sharp breath, but considering that this method could motivate others, he decided not to dwell on it.

“Okay! I’ll tell Tang Congyue. It’s just…” Luo Zhibo lowered his voice, “Brother Zhao, did Tang Congyue really kill the monster by herself?”

“Xiao Huiwen, Shi Shuai, and Chu Hao saw it with their own eyes. How could it be fake?”

That made sense.

Luo Zhibo muttered to himself, no longer doubting the truth of the matter. He also silently acknowledged that his plan to secretly help Zhao Jinhe eliminate a love rival might not work out after all.
