AMRWFA -Chapter 346 Yet Another “Plot Character Setting”

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Sister Hua would never have believed any of this was real.

But she did see it with her own eyes.

So… Dai Jianguo hadn’t lied to her. He really had “encountered” people who could eliminate the eerie beings?!

“You… who exactly are you?” Sister Hua asked warily. “You’re not Descenders, are you?”

Ruan Yaoyao blinked and said, “Nope. We’re proper citizens of Xia Country, descendants of Yanhuang. Local people. As for those Descenders you mentioned, they’re from outside…”

【So Sister Hua’s character setting is actually a love-brain type!】

【But the person Dai Jianguo likes is her, while she likes that Mayor Chen.】

【If I hadn’t seen that she clearly has a husband and kids, I almost would’ve believed it.】

Liang Shishi and Ruan Zhihe were stunned: husband? kids?

Wait—Sister Hua is already married?!

The Sister Hua in front of them looked about thirty, charming and seductive. She had that “femme fatale” vibe people often stereotyped—beautiful to the point of being undeniable.

Someone like her would usually be assumed to be carefree and unlikely to marry early.

And yet Aunt Xu was saying she was already married—and even had a child?

Liang Shishi thought: the man who made Sister Hua willingly marry and have a child must be someone she truly loved.

But unfortunately, due to the influence of “plot power,” she had now completely forgotten that person’s existence… and even the child she once had with him.

Luckily, she and Mayor Chen hadn’t actually developed anything serious yet. Otherwise, when she recovered her memories later, how painful would that be?

Even if her husband still loved her, what man could accept his wife “cheating,” even if it wasn’t intentional—just caused by memory loss?

…

Ruan Yaoyao then explained why they had come.

After hearing that they were here to investigate, gather intelligence, and unite any available forces to deal with the eerie beings, Sister Hua immediately decided—she wanted to join them.

Dai Jianguo tugged at her sleeve, reminding her that she was just an ordinary person and didn’t need to get involved.

But Sister Hua didn’t care at all. She shook him off and insisted on joining Ruan Yaoyao’s group.

Forget Dai Jianguo, just one of her admirers—even if it were her husband, no one would stop her from doing what she decided to do.

Ruan Yaoyao found that although Sister Hua looked glamorous and spoke gently, she was actually decisive, bold, and very likable. She immediately took out a pile of talisman papers for her to choose from. If it wasn’t enough, she could draw more during the day and provide more at night.

“These talismans… you drew them?” Sister Hua asked in shock.

“Yep,” Ruan Yaoyao said with a smile.

“You’re incredible! Really amazing! With you around, we won’t lack these anti-eerie items anymore. Is it hard to draw them? Can ordinary people learn it?”

“It’s not easy for most people to learn,” Ruan Yaoyao replied, “but I just took on a disciple.”

She pulled Lu Lingling over.

“This is Lu Lingling. You can call her Lingling. I’ll teach her how to draw talismans.”

“Good! Having a disciple means inheritance. With inheritance, the tradition won’t break…” Sister Hua’s eyes immediately reddened.

She thought of historical records of child soldiers, of humiliation when people were nearly wiped out and bullied to extinction.

She grabbed Lingling’s hand and told her to study hard.

As long as she learned well, Sister Hua would cover all her food and living expenses.

She even asked what materials were needed for talisman drawing. Her shop was a general store—she had almost everything.

If she didn’t have something, she still had connections and could find a way to get it.

Ruan Yaoyao then listed everything she needed without hesitation.

Sister Hua immediately smiled. “What a coincidence—I have all of these!”

It was a general store, after all. Of course it stocked everything.

Aside from daily necessities, it also catered to the preferences of elderly residents in the neighborhood, so all kinds of miscellaneous items were kept on hand.

Sister Hua said she didn’t have a huge supply of those materials, but she still had one or two boxes—enough for Ruan Yaoyao to use for a while.

At dawn, she would find a way to get more supplies so nothing would be lacking.

Ruan Yaoyao told her not to get too excited. She still had things to do during the day and couldn’t handle everything immediately. Many matters could only be done at night.

Since there was still time before dawn, she asked Sister Hua to guide them and take them to meet Mayor Chen so they could quickly form the “anti-eerie team.”

“Time waits for no one. We need to move faster!”

“Alright, I’ll take you there!”

Unlike Dai Jianguo, who hesitated about everything, Sister Hua was the type who acted decisively and without fear. She immediately packed up and led them out.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Mayor Chen’s house.

Using a secret code, Sister Hua knocked on the door and was invited inside.

Dai Jianguo, watching from the side, felt a bit jealous.

He knew Sister Hua liked Mayor Chen, but he didn’t expect their relationship to have progressed this far.

They even had “secret codes”? Were they already together?

While he was bitterly jealous, Sister Hua explained their purpose and asked Ruan Yaoyao to demonstrate.

Of course, a small fireball alone wasn’t enough to convince Mayor Chen. But luckily, on their way here, Liang Shishi had captured a kitten-sized eerie being, which they now released to “perform” in front of him.

Mayor Chen: “……”

Thanks a lot. You even brought this kind of thing to me?

However, when he personally witnessed them using a talisman to eliminate an eerie creature, all his discomfort and doubts immediately vanished. He quickly confirmed whether they truly intended to establish the “anti-eerie team.”

“We were originally sent by the state to deal with eerie beings. It’s just that due to some conditions in your town, we only recently found a way in—we would’ve come earlier otherwise…”

“You’re sent by the state?!” Sister Hua was surprised. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

【Because I just decided that now!】

Ruan Yaoyao said aloud, “We weren’t familiar yet. We have our mission, and we needed to meet Mayor Chen before revealing it. Sorry, Sister Hua—we didn’t tell the truth earlier.”

Sister Hua waved her hand. “No, no, it’s fine! If you’re state-assigned, your mission comes first. We’re just ordinary citizens—we’ll listen to you. Did I delay your work?”

“No, our goal was always to connect with Mayor Chen.”

Ruan Yaoyao looked at Mayor Chen again with a hint of sympathy.

Like Sister Hua, Mayor Chen was actually already married.

And he even had a lovely daughter.

From his face, it was clear he had a very loving relationship with his wife—falling in love from school days to marriage, a perfect romance.

He was also a total “daughter maniac.”

Yet he had run into a “plot overwrite.”

Luckily, he and Sister Hua hadn’t developed anything substantial. His character setting was that of a responsible but average small-town mayor, single, and the town’s “charismatic male figure”…

Otherwise, this situation would have been much more troublesome.

As for why someone labeled as “ordinary” could still be considered the town’s attractive male figure—Ruan Yaoyao couldn’t quite figure it out.

【Probably because he was the most powerful man in the town.】

【Sometimes, power is also part of a man’s charm.】

Liang Shishi and Ruan Zhihe: “……”

Aunt Xu, you really know too much!
