After the Villain Gave Up, the Female Lead Started Chasing Him

Chapter 3: The Hero Rescues the Beauty… and Fails!:

Not long ago, when Xiao Yunting proposed a plan to play the hero and win Lin Luowei’s heart, Elder Ming didn’t agree with it.

Because the plan was just too simple and shallow.

Xiao Yunting had learned that Lin Luowei would be passing through this area, so he seized the opportunity to lure her into a beast-infested zone and trigger a beast tide to attack her.

Once she was severely injured and on the brink of death, he would make his grand entrance.

Of course, he didn’t plan to defeat all the beasts. His goal was to desperately protect Lin Luowei and then escape with her.

That way, he could leave a lasting impression.

However, the plan had one fatal flaw—why would the beasts suddenly riot?

And why would Xiao Yunting just so happen to be nearby?

Anyone who thought a little deeper would immediately realize something was off.

“Master, I think this plan is perfect. It’s absolutely going to work.”

Xiao Yunting said with full confidence.

He believed there were no problems at all. As long as he appeared gravely wounded and left with Lin Luowei, she’d definitely open her heart to him.

Winning her over afterward would be easy.

Just as Elder Ming was hesitating, Xiao Yunting continued, “Master, trust me, nothing will go wrong.”

“Once I gain Lin Luowei’s favor, I can use her to enter the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land. And with your support, it’s entirely possible for me to become a Holy Son or even the Holy Lord one day.”

“When that time comes, I’ll help you rebuild your physical body and get revenge.”

His eyes sparkled with ambition as he spoke.

Seeing Xiao Yunting’s confident face, Elder Ming let out a soft sigh and said no more.

“Fine. I believe you.”

But deep down, he couldn’t help but complain silently.

Wasn’t this plan treating Lin Luowei like a fool?

It might work on someone stupid, but fooling a smart person like her? No way.

In the original plot, Elder Ming had actually been shocked when the plan worked.

He had thought it was such a poor scheme that only an idiot would fall for it.

But Lin Luowei was a genius of the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land!

Or perhaps… this was just another case of the female lead’s IQ mysteriously dropping around the male lead.

“She’s here.”

Xiao Yunting stood up instantly, his eyes fixed on the figure in white.

It was indeed Lin Luowei!

“The beast tide hasn’t arrived yet?”

“There’s some lingering aura here… someone else has been nearby.”

Lin Luowei frowned slightly.

To verify Fang Chen’s inner thoughts, she had intentionally stayed longer in the Misty Cloud Mountains, hoping to encounter the beast tide.

BOOM!

A sudden explosion shook the ground.

Countless fierce beasts surged in from all directions.

“They’re finally here.”

Lin Luowei narrowed her eyes slightly and calmly observed her surroundings.

She gripped her sword, and with every flicker of sword light, the beasts around her fell one by one.

No matter how many came, none could get within two meters of her.

However, to confirm Fang Chen’s inner thoughts, she deliberately held back her strength, creating an opening.

All of it was to lure Xiao Yunting out.

As planned, she soon appeared severely injured, completely overwhelmed by the beasts, her strength seemingly exhausted.

“My chance is here!”

Xiao Yunting grew excited. He leaped into the air and struck away the beasts in front of Lin Luowei with one palm.

With what he thought was a charming smile, he looked at her and asked, “Miss, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Lin Luowei replied calmly.

“Miss, my name is Xiao Yunting. May I ask yours?”

While slaying the surrounding beasts, Xiao Yunting turned to glance at her.

There were many beasts here, but their strength wasn’t very high.

The strongest among them were only at the Heavenly Origin Realm, and there weren’t that many of those either.

In martial cultivation, the ten realms are:

Qi Condensation Realm, Spirit Origin Realm, Divine Sea Realm, Heavenly Origin Realm, Divine Origin Realm, Emperor Realm, Enlightenment Realm, Void Return Realm, Saint Realm, and Emperor Sovereign Realm.

Although Xiao Yunting hadn’t reached the Heavenly Origin Realm and was only at the 8th layer of the Divine Sea Realm,

thanks to his status as the protagonist, his combat power was monstrous—fighting across realms was easy for him.

These beasts posed little threat for now.

“It actually worked?!”

Elder Ming’s mouth twitched.

He found it ridiculous that such a basic plan was working.

He had overestimated these so-called genius disciples of the Holy Lands.

Even with the protagonist’s halo, the beast tide seemed endless and unkillable, and the pressure on Xiao Yunting was rapidly increasing.

“Watch out!”

Seeing more beasts rush in, Xiao Yunting charged forward without hesitation, using all his strength to shield Lin Luowei.

Though his injuries were piling up, his heart was full of joy.

Surely, Lin Luowei must be touched by his actions now.

But what he didn’t know was that Lin Luowei wasn’t moved at all—in fact, she had even sneered coldly.

Of course, she hid it well.

“You should step back,” Lin Luowei said seriously.

“No way. I won’t let these beasts lay a finger on you.”

Xiao Yunting believed Lin Luowei was touched and now worried about him.

His heart surged with excitement. As long as he got hurt enough, she’d definitely be deeply moved.

Then his plan would succeed.

But the next second, Xiao Yunting froze.

“You’re in my way.”

“If you don’t move, how can I kill the beasts?”

“And I don’t need your help. I can handle them myself.”

Lin Luowei’s voice was cold.

What a joke!

She was a prodigy of the Heavenly Cloud Holy Land. How could her cultivation be weak?

She was already at the 9th layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Before coming here, she had also prepared many trump cards.

Even without Xiao Yunting, she could easily deal with these beasts.

With him standing in front of her, she couldn’t fight properly.

“Step aside!”

Lin Luowei ordered without any trace of politeness.

Hearing her icy tone, Xiao Yunting instinctively stepped aside.

Dozens of fierce beasts came charging. Xiao Yunting reflexively warned her,

“Be careful! These beasts are all at the Heavenly Origin Realm!”

He had gone to great lengths to attract all the beasts in the area, and now so many Heavenly Origin Realm beasts had shown up.

Just moments ago, there hadn’t been this many.

His goal was to push them both into a desperate situation—then he could lead Lin Luowei to safety with some clever tricks.

That would definitely win her over.

If she hadn’t overheard Fang Chen’s inner thoughts, Xiao Yunting might’ve succeeded.

But Lin Luowei had already prepared for this. She had made plans for such a scenario.

“Mountain-Crushing Seal!”

With a calm expression, Lin Luowei raised her hand, and a massive palm print descended from the sky like a mountain, filled with overwhelming power.

BOOM!

The giant palm slammed down, crushing everything in its path.

All the fierce beasts were wiped out instantly.

The terrifying force of the Mountain-Crushing Seal stunned Xiao Yunting. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Dozens of Heavenly Origin Realm beasts—annihilated in a single move by Lin Luowei.

Xiao Yunting was completely dumbfounded. He never expected Lin Luowei to be this powerful.

“9th layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm… and she even has powerful magical treasures.

Unless someone at the fifth realm—the Divine Origin Realm—shows up, she can’t be harmed.”

“My disciple, your plan has failed.”

Elder Ming said flatly.
