SBCEJM -Chapter 221 The Original Male and Female Leads Came Looking for Trouble? The God of War Was Crying Anxiously Inside!

Li Chengyu’s face was livid, the arrogance in his eyes already replaced by sinister gloom.

And beside him, Shen Ruoyun no longer wore her usual innocent expression.

Her eyes were filled with venom and unwilling resentment so thick it could not be dissolved.

【Oho, the protagonists, supporting cast, and villains are all here. Now this is going to be entertaining.】

Feng Zexuan thought leisurely.

The Seventh Prince wrapped an arm around Shen Ruoyun and swaggered into the pavilion.

Every step he took was heavy, as if declaring ownership.

When his gaze landed on Xiao Zhanfeng in the wheelchair, the corners of his lips curled into a malicious sneer.

“Well, if it isn’t General Xiao?”

He stepped closer, looking down at Xiao Zhanfeng from above, even waving a hand in front of his face.

“The undefeated God of War who dominated battlefields for ten years has now become a cripple who can’t even open his eyes.”

“How unpredictable life is!”

His laughter became even more arrogant as he deliberately circled behind Xiao Zhanfeng to inspect the wheelchair.

“This wheelchair is quite exquisite, but what a pity…”

“No matter how good the wheelchair is, it still can’t carry the life of a useless cripple.”

Shen Ruoyun followed beside him, her gaze lingering on Xiao Zhanfeng’s face for several seconds.

Even unconscious, that face was still extraordinarily handsome and heroic.

Far better-looking than the Seventh Prince…

A trace of regret flashed through her heart.

The Seventh Prince leaned close to Xiao Zhanfeng’s ear, lowering his voice, his tone filled with smugness.

“Xiao Zhanfeng, let me give you some good news.”

“Ruoyun now belongs to this prince, understand?”

He deliberately dragged out the words while pinching Shen Ruoyun’s waist.

Shen Ruoyun cooperated with a coquettish whine and leaned against his shoulder.

“You useless cripple should stop dreaming about her.”

Straightening up, he added mockingly,

“But you sure know how to enjoy life! Even in exile, someone still pushes you around.”

Xiao Zhanfeng’s inner voice exploded:

【Shen Ruoyun, you poisonous woman!】

【I once thought you were gentle, virtuous, and well-educated!】

【Who would’ve thought… you’d rather throw yourself at trash like Li Chengyu!】

【Li Chengyu! You idiot!】

【Once I wake up, I’ll make your life worse than death!】

His thoughts were practically roaring, wishing he could open his eyes immediately and tear apart the shameless couple before him!

Hearing his intense inner thoughts, Shen Sangsang’s eyes lit up.

【The opportunity has arrived!】

She immediately sprang to her feet, spreading her arms wide to shield Xiao Zhanfeng behind her.

“Seventh Prince, Sister… how can you humiliate my husband like this?!”

Her voice carried a sob, tears trembling in her eyes.

“My husband fought for this country for ten years! Hundreds of battles large and small, earning glorious military achievements!”

“The wolf tribes of the northern frontier trembled at his name, and the southern barbarians were nearly wiped out by him!”

“He protected Great Liang’s territory! He protected countless common people!”

Her voice grew more emotional, almost turning into a shout.

“Even now… even now that he’s unconscious, he shouldn’t suffer this kind of humiliation!”

“He’s a hero! The guardian deity of the people!”

“Not some worthless cripple for you to trample on!”

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a second by her sudden momentum.

Then he sneered coldly.

“What? Feeling sorry for him?”

“You little slut, didn’t you only marry him because you stole your sister’s marriage arrangement in the first place?”

“What a scheming woman.”

Shen Sangsang bit her lip as tears streamed down her cheeks.

“I… I didn’t…”

“It was Sister who refused to marry him, saying she would rather die than marry a ‘mere martial brute’…”

“Father had no choice, so he made me marry in her place…”

“And besides, my husband is a good man. He doesn’t deserve to be humiliated like this…”

Her voice grew softer and softer, filled with obvious grievance and stubbornness.

Inside the system space, Feng Zexuan silently scored her performance.

【Full marks for acting!】

【That delicate, tea-like, pitiful look is absolutely perfect!】

Cracking sunflower seeds, she watched with great enjoyment.

Shen Ruoyun was left slightly stunned by the speech, her face alternating between green and white.

Since when had Shen Sangsang become so eloquent?

Back at home, wasn’t she always the weakest and easiest to bully?

She carefully looked at Xiao Zhanfeng again.

Though unconscious, that face…

Sword-like brows, a tall nose bridge, tightly pressed thin lips, and a perfectly sculpted jawline.

Even his physique was more upright and imposing.

Her heart stirred slightly.

If not for the Seventh Prince’s noble status, Xiao Zhanfeng would actually have been quite a good choice.

She stepped closer, hanging a gentle smile on her face.

“Little Sister, don’t misunderstand. We only came to check on the God of War.”

“Can you let me examine his condition?”

“Perhaps I can wake him up.”

The moment Madam Zhou heard that, her eyes lit up.

She had always believed Shen Sangsang stole Shen Ruoyun’s marriage arrangement.

Deep down, she trusted Shen Ruoyun—the “victim”—more.

“Ruoyun, can you really treat him?”

Madam Zhou grabbed Shen Ruoyun’s hand, her face full of hope.

“I heard your medical skills are quite good. Why don’t… you try?”

Xiao Zhanfeng’s inner voice rang out frantically.

【No! Damn woman, don’t touch me!】

【I’d rather stay unconscious forever than let you save me!】

Shen Ruoyun pulled out a needle pouch from her sleeve.

She unfolded it.

Inside were more than a dozen silver needles arranged neatly in rows.

Each needle was as long as a pinky finger, gleaming coldly under the sunlight.

Seeing the needles, Shen Sangsang suddenly covered her mouth and staggered back in horror.

“Oh heavens! Those needles are so long!”

“With one stab…”

Her voice trembled as she choked with sobs.

“You only know a little bit of medicine, yet you want to use my husband as practice?!”

“There aren’t twenty people you’ve stabbed to death, but there are at least ten!”

“Don’t think I don’t know just because Father paid people to keep quiet!”

Madam Zhou froze.

“What?”

Shen Sangsang wiped away her tears, her tone firm.

“When Sister was studying medicine at the pharmacy, she accidentally killed several patients with acupuncture.”

“Every time, Father paid money to settle it.”

“My husband is already so weak right now. If he gets stabbed to death…”

Unable to continue, she collapsed onto the wheelchair and burst into tears.

Madam Zhou’s expression changed.

She looked at Shen Ruoyun, then at her son lying unconscious in the wheelchair.

She hesitated.

“Ruoyun, maybe… forget it.”

“Zhanfeng is already in this condition. He can’t handle any more torment.”

Shen Ruoyun froze in place.

She opened her mouth, wanting to explain.

But Madam Zhou had already turned away, no longer looking at her.

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince wrapped an arm around Shen Ruoyun’s shoulders.

“Don’t lower yourself to their level.”

“He’s a dying man anyway. Why care?”

Shen Ruoyun forced a smile and put away the needle pouch.

Before leaving, she gave Xiao Zhanfeng one deep look.

Xiao Zhanfeng’s inner voice sounded again.

【Sangsang…】

【She stood up for me…】

【She was clearly so afraid, yet she still protected me…】

【Ding! Favorability +10%】

【Current Favorability Value: 51%】

【Points +10000】

【Current Total Points: 30200】

Feng Zexuan nodded in satisfaction.

“Not bad, not bad. Keep it up.”

Over the next few days, Shen Sangsang and Feng Zexuan worked together flawlessly.

“Shen Ruoyun” and the “Seventh Prince” kept coming to provoke trouble—

Though in reality, every appearance was just a voice and illusion simulated by Feng Zexuan’s system.

And every single time, Shen Sangsang fearlessly threw herself in front of Xiao Zhanfeng to protect him.

Once, “Shen Ruoyun” raised her hand to slap her.

Shen Sangsang took the slap head-on, the crack echoing loudly.

Xiao Zhanfeng became frantic.

【Sangsang! Dodge it!】

【Why are you taking the hit for me?!】

Another time, the “Seventh Prince” drew his sword and swung it toward Xiao Zhanfeng.

Shen Sangsang directly blocked it with her body, leaving a bloody wound across her arm.

Xiao Zhanfeng’s inner voice trembled.

【Sangsang… you fool…】

【Why… why would you go this far for me…】

The favorability score rose rapidly.

60%, 70%, 80%…

All the way to 95%.

And then, it stopped.

Shen Sangsang became a little worried.

【Xiao Ling, the last two times didn’t increase the score at all.】

【Did something go wrong?】

Feng Zexuan leisurely gnawed on a chicken drumstick.

“That’s normal.”

“The higher the favorability gets, the harder it is to raise.”

“The last 5% from 95% to 100% is the hardest.”

Shen Sangsang asked:

【Then what do we do?】

Feng Zexuan swallowed the meat, wiped her mouth, and said,

“This time, we’re going big.”

Shen Sangsang froze.

【Huh?】

“Listen carefully…”

She explained the plan in detail.

As Shen Sangsang listened, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

【As expected of Xiao Ling!】

【This move is absolutely brilliant!】
