Quick Transmigration: The Villain Boss is a Bit Cute - Chapter 167
Chapter 167
Yan Yun continued eating at an unhurried pace, graceful and elegant, as if completely unaware of the burning gaze Su Hua was giving him.
“It’ll pass,” Su Hua said calmly.
Liu Yunyun’s eyes lit up at those words.
She looked at Su Hua excitedly and asked, “Miss Li, then when do you think it’ll pass?”
In Liu Yunyun’s mind, Su Hua was an extremely mysterious and powerful person.
If she said it would pass, Liu Yunyun believed it definitely would.
“Very soon.”
In the original plot, it took the male and female leads five years of fighting side by side against the zombies to finally bring things to an end.
But now that she had taken over the original host’s body to complete this counterattack, leading all of humanity into a new era should be more than enough of a reversal, right?
So, she had no intention of taking that long to finish the mission.
Seeing how confident Su Hua was, Liu Yunyun and the others couldn’t help but feel a surge of hope rise in their hearts.
Off to the side, Yan Yun lowered his eyes.
The setting sun shone through the cracks in the window onto his face, but it couldn’t hide the gloom that seemed to cling to him.
After dinner, night fell.
Liu Yunyun used her water-type ability to wash the pots and bowls clean, which Su Hua then stored away into her space.
“Miss Li, the first room on the left upstairs is yours. The one across from it is Mr. Yan’s. Tonight, Dong Jian and I will take turns keeping watch. If anything happens, we’ll blow the whistle.”
Liu Yu lifted the whistle hanging around his neck with a grin.
Su Hua nodded, then turned to Liu Yunyun and asked, “Is the bathwater ready?”
“All set.”
Hearing this, Su Hua took out a clean set of men’s clothing from her space and handed it to Yan Yun.
“Go take a shower. I’ll keep watch for you outside.”
Yan Yun looked at her suspiciously.
“Even if you do this, I’m not going to agree to date you.”
The three others widened their eyes in shock.
No wonder Miss Li insisted on bringing Mr. Yan along—she had taken a liking to him!
And to be fair, Mr. Yan was indeed incredibly good-looking, even more handsome than pre-apocalypse celebrities.
If Miss Li was their boss, then Mr. Yan would be the boss’s man.
The three of them secretly felt relieved they hadn’t said anything about how Mr. Yan didn’t seem to help much.
Then, with great tact, the three quietly retreated.
“I won’t bring this up again,” Su Hua said.
Hearing this, the look in Yan Yun’s eyes darkened.
Was she trying to use desire to manipulate him?
Just as a mocking smile was about to curl his lips, he heard her say casually, “Since you won’t agree, then I guess I’ll just have to force you to stay by my side.”
After all, I can’t let you turn evil and bring disaster to others.
“……”
Yan Yun snatched the clothes from her and walked straight into the bathroom.
Bang.
The bathroom door slammed shut.
Su Hua, however, smiled.
Tsk. Trying to mess with me, huh?
“Host, are you sure this is okay?” You’re supposed to move the boss with love! And here you are trying to imprison him.
“Trust the goddess, and you shall live forever.”
“……” I have a feeling the host is becoming more and more unhinged.
In the original plot, although Yan Yun was the final boss, there wasn’t much detail given about his personality.
Just a few highlights about the terrible things he did to harm humanity.
And something about his childhood not being very pleasant.
Then again, how many villainous bosses ever had a good childhood?
Su Hua didn’t really care either way.
After spending a day together, Su Hua felt that while Yan Yun appeared cold and aloof on the surface, he was actually someone with social interaction issues.
Well, it made sense.
The big boss had entered the nation’s top scientific research institute at the age of twelve, spending every day surrounded by cold laboratory equipment.
It was no surprise he had trouble with interpersonal relationships.
Still, with that perpetually expressionless face and the chill he gave off, it was easy to mistake Yan Yun for just being cold and unapproachable.
The young woman leaned quietly against the railing, holding a tablet in her hands.
Her slender, fair fingers tapped here and there, making the game character’s voice ring out.
The room was dim, without any lights.
A candle was lit not far away.
Its flame cast a warm yellow glow across the right side of her face.
Her eyes were focused on the tablet, and the reflection of the candlelight flickered faintly in them.
This was what Yan Yun saw when he came out.
The girl looked as quiet as a well-behaved cat, none of the boldness from earlier in the day.
It was as if all her sharp edges had been tucked away, leaving only softness.
An odd feeling welled up in Yan Yun’s chest—tingly and numb.
“You’re done?”
The girl lifted her head.
The candlelight illuminated her whole face.
She smiled, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
“That outfit really suits you. You look handsome.”
Hearing this, the strange feeling in Yan Yun’s heart was quickly suppressed.
“Mm,” he replied flatly.
Su Hua narrowed her eyes, her expression briefly serious, then she smiled again.
“Go to bed. It’s my turn to shower.”
Yan Yun paused.
Seeing her heading toward the bathroom, he quickly said, “I used the other bucket of water too.”
Su Hua turned her head and looked at him in confusion.
A faint blush crept up Yan Yun’s cheeks, but his tone remained cold and indifferent, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“I thought they were both for me.”
Su Hua frowned. Liu Yunyun had probably already gone to bed.
Would it be rude to wake her just to refill the water?
She really should consider getting a superpower for herself.
“……” Host, you can’t just get a power because you want one.
Hah, you’re clearly inexperienced.
Back in the fantasy plane, didn’t I get all-elemental magic anyway?
So how exactly did you pull that off?
Beg me and I’ll tell you.
No way! Last time I begged, you didn’t say a thing!
What a shame. I was actually going to tell you this time if you had.
…
Goodbye, host. You really know how to kill a conversation.
Seeing Su Hua frown and fall silent, Yan Yun couldn’t help but feel a hint of disappointment.
Was she already disgusted with him just for using an extra bucket of water?
So much for dating—turns out she only liked his face after all.
Su Hua struggled with the decision for a while before finally choosing to wake Liu Yunyun and ask her to fetch another bucket of water.
As a thank-you, Su Hua gave her a generous amount of crystal nuclei.
First-tier abilities were just too weak.
With water so scarce, she’d need to upgrade to at least tier three.
So, Liu Yunyun carried the pile of crystal nuclei to Liu Yufei’s room, still in a daze.
“Miss Li gave you these?” Liu Yufei closed the door behind her, staring blankly at the pile of crystal nuclei she placed on the bed.
Liu Yunyun nodded.
“Mm. Miss Li said my ability level is too low, and I’m not producing enough water.”
“Brother, you’re tier two. You should use these.”
“No need.”
Liu Yufei patted her head.
“Miss Li told you to level up, so you should. Don’t give them to me.”
“But…” She was water-type. She couldn’t even kill zombies.
Her brother needed them more than she did.
“It’s fine. Until we reach the Anqing base, we’ll be following Miss Li. We’ll be safe.”
At that, Liu Yunyun said quietly, “Brother, who do you think Miss Li really is? I didn’t see her use any ability when we fought the zombies today.”
“Don’t worry about it. We just need to do our part.”
Liu Yufei pushed her onto the bed.
“Start absorbing. I’ll watch over you.”
Liu Yunyun smiled and quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“Thanks, brother.”
