Previously: Because of Meng Wange’s unusually lively behavior the previous night, the villainous eldest young lady Su Wanli became extremely jealous and decided to teach her a lesson.
So, while Meng Wange was helping arrange her clothes and assisting her out of bed, Su Wanli pushed her down onto the bed and further imprisoned her in the room, refusing to allow her to accompany her to Baiying Academy.
“Heh, Meng Wange, you’re nothing more than an orphan from some northern town. Do you really think that after showing off like that in front of me, you can naturally follow me to Baiying Academy and continue enjoying the benefits of the Sujia name?”
However, unfortunately, Meng Wange happened to come down with a severe cold today for some unknown reason. Su Wanli’s original plan instead turned into an opportunity for Meng Wange to rest.
‘…That won’t do. Since she dared to act so boldly, she should bear the consequences!’
Thus, the cunning villainous eldest young lady Su Wanli also gave up going to school. She chose to remain at the Su Residence and planned to use all kinds of malicious tricks to prevent Meng Wange from getting the rest she needed, forcing her to suffer through illness and exhaustion.
After reciting the long recap, the System finally delivered the details of today’s third Main Mission to Su Wanli.
[Host, today’s Task is to severely interfere with Meng Wange’s sleep. Even though she has a high fever, a headache, and urgently needs rest, you must prevent her from falling asleep no matter what.]
Su Wanli raised an eyebrow and sat on a bench in the main hall on the first floor of the Su Residence with her arms folded.
The current time is eight thirty in the morning. From now until eight in the evening, you must not allow Meng Wange to fall asleep. Whenever she tries to close her eyes and rest, you must interrupt her immediately and keep her awake.
At the same moment the System announced the Task, a new blue progress bar appeared before Su Wanli’s eyes, similar to the Female Villain Value interface. The current value hovered around sixty.
This is the Heroine Meng Wange’s current Awake Value. When the value remains above fifty, it means she will not fall asleep yet. When it drops to around thirty, it means she is becoming drowsy and is only resting with her eyes closed. When the value reaches zero, her consciousness will shut down and she will fall into deep sleep.
Next, Host, please follow the Awake Value progress bar and the guidance of the Villainess Teleprompter Glasses while continuing today’s villainess role performance.
Although the System spoke like it was issuing some passionate battle order, Su Wanli merely snorted and looked up at the magnificent chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the Su Residence, silently counting how many crystals were attached to it.
Host? The next Task has already been issued. Please start taking action immediately.
“Heh. I’m not going.”
Uh… but Host…
“I said I’m not going, and that means I’m not going! Whoever wants to go can go themselves! I’ve already run out of my room twice today. I have no face left to go back again.”
Host, please don’t be stubborn. This is today’s Main Mission. If you fail to complete it and the Heroine falls into deep sleep, you will receive a very severe punishment.
“Hmph. Go ahead and threaten me. The rewards you give are already so tiny. I’d like to see what kind of severe punishment you can actually give.”
Su Wanli took the White Puffball out of her pocket, raised her arm high, and threw it viciously into the distance.
Tracing a graceful arc through the air, the little White Puffball landed inside a flower pot and rolled into the soil.
[…]
Very well. In that case, to motivate the Host, the System will have to use its ultimate method.
The System’s voice shifted from the White Puffball to directly above Su Wanli’s head, producing a cold mechanical tone.
Beep. Updating Heart’s Voice Communication Function. Adding new member: Meng Wange. Listener target: Su Wanli. Active period: zero o’clock to twenty four o’clock daily.
“Wait, hold on! What are you talking about? What do you mean the Heart’s Voice Communication Function is updating? And what do you mean by listener target?”
No need to worry, Host. We are simply adding a new member to our heart-voice communication group. This addition will not consume any Villainess Points.
“…You’re letting Meng Wange hear my thoughts? That means every random thought that pops into my head while looking at her face will be exposed! From now on, when she looks at me, there won’t be any respect or politeness left, only disgust mixed with disdain!”
“Stop! Stop right now! If she hears my thoughts, won’t she discover your existence too? Don’t use a move that damages both sides just to deal a tiny blow!”
Thoughts involving supernatural matters will be automatically censored. Only your genuine thoughts about the Heroine will be audible. Please enjoy your future villainess performance.
“…Alright, alright! I was wrong! Okay? Just stop already!”
Su Wanli gritted her teeth fiercely. In the end, she stood up, walked to the flower pot, picked up the White Puffball covered in dirt, and stuffed it back into her pocket.
‘In the end, I’m still running around for that twelve billion…’
But when she thought about how Meng Wange might simply have tolerated touching her because she was lustful, and might not remember any of the kindness she had shown, a wave of resistance rose in Su Wanli’s heart.
‘Seriously… Is having a pretty face really enough? You shallow woman who only acts on attraction! Try appreciating some of my good qualities too. Like how I often show mercy when taking action, or how I always try to think of alternatives before doing something that could cause serious consequences…’
Then suddenly she paused.
‘Wait a second.’
‘Is having a pretty face really enough?’
If Meng Wange truly was the type who liked beautiful girls…
Then Su Wanli could actually use that.
Even though the System prevented her from doing obvious actions to increase affection, perhaps her own perfect face and youthful body could still make Meng Wange fall completely for her.
Maybe Meng Wange could end up utterly infatuated, even surrendering under her charm.
‘That’s right! If her lust can overpower her dislike for me, then my appearance can absolutely be converted into her affection!’
Su Wanli turned her gaze toward the wall mirror in the hall that clearly reflected her figure.
If Meng Wange’s looks were worth one hundred points, then with just a little effort in grooming, Su Wanli’s own face should easily reach ninety eight or ninety nine.
‘One of the best looks in the entire city… Taking you down should be effortless… right…?’
‘Forget it. Be confident.’
‘If Meng Wange truly has those kinds of thoughts about me, then I’ll make good use of them.’
In the reflection, the elegant black-haired girl curled her lips coldly and gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
‘…If I want to break through the heroine’s defenses, I may have to become ruthless too.’
‘Meng Wange, you’d better prepare yourself.’
