I, the Villain, Accidentally Killed the Protagosint!

Chapter 15: The Child of Destiny is Sun Wukong, Then He is the Buddha—He Cannot Escape from His Palm!

Zhang Chen was well aware of Ye Fan’s trump cards

One was the inexplicable protagonist’s halo, and the other was that heirloom.

The protagonist’s halo was something difficult to explain.

But Zhang Chen had already figured out how to break it.

At its core, it depended on the connections Ye Fan was supposed to have—his friends, his heroines, and so on.

As long as someone stole them away or sabotaged them, his protagonist’s halo could be destroyed.

With this in mind, Zhang Chen realized something when he heard that Ye Fan had fallen and broken his leg last night.

He understood everything.

Taking control of Xing Lingyun in advance had indeed been useful.

And now!

It was time to take away his heirloom!

That small bronze mirror!

“Uncle Liu, make arrangements. No matter which hospital Ye Yiyi is taken to, have people monitor her 24/7 without interruption!”

Having Xing Lingyun make a move and cause Ye Yiyi to fall into a demonic coma was only the first step.

“Yes, Young Master!”

“Also, continue keeping tabs on Ye Fan. No matter who he comes into contact with, report to me immediately!”

Zhang Chen wasn’t about to let his guard down.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he naturally had to remain cautious.

After giving his orders, he slowly closed his eyes, managing everything while contemplating his next steps.

In his mind, the system kept notifying him that his yang energy was depleting due to his strategic planning.

For an ordinary person, a few calculations would drain their yang energy to zero, sending them straight to the King of Hell.

But Zhang Chen didn’t care about such minor yang energy losses at all.

His natural replenishment rate was even faster than his consumption.

Zhang Chen mused to himself: Although everything is going smoothly now, I can’t afford to be careless. The protagonist’s halo is a metaphysical force—it’s unpredictable.

I need to speed up the pace and resolve this as soon as possible.

There’s still more than half a month before the timeline of the first chapter of the comic officially begins.

Although he had no solid evidence, Zhang Chen’s instincts told him that it would be best to eliminate Ye Fan before the comic’s timeline truly kicked off.

After all, Ye Fan was originally the male lead of the story—who could guarantee that some inexplicable twist wouldn’t occur?

…

Zhang Chen lay in his villa’s bedroom, feeling no exhaustion whatsoever.

He knew this was due to his powerful physique, as well as the fact that he possessed an Innate Pure Yang Physique.

As a devoted player of Summit of the Canyon, Zhang Chen played three consecutive games that afternoon.

Each time, he achieved a flawless victory, destroying the enemy’s crystal.

Three games, three wins.

The only downside was the heavy consumption of yang energy.

“Good thing my recovery is astonishing.”

Zhang Chen checked his system:

“As expected, each victory in Summit of the Canyon increases my attributes.”

Seeing his Strength, Agility, and Physique each increase by 30 points, Zhang Chen felt reassured.

Although it couldn’t compare to the rewards from his first win, it was still significant—every game played added 10 points to all attributes.

“Small gains add up over time, not bad.”

Zhang Chen wasn’t greedy.

Other players struggled even to scratch the enemy’s turret against someone like Xing Lingyun, but he? He could bulldoze all three lanes and crush the crystal in no time.

With his formidable physique and an outrageous yang energy cap, one-on-one battles were effortless.

After a quick wash, Zhang Chen checked the messages from the people Uncle Liu had arranged.

“She ended up at my own hospital? Well, isn’t that convenient.”

Zhang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

Ye Yiyi had fallen into a coma, and naturally, Ye Fan had rushed her to the hospital.

And whether by coincidence or something more, the hospital Ye Fan had chosen happened to be one of Zhang Chen’s own.

Thinking about it, Zhang Chen found it unsurprising.

“Well, of course. The best hospitals in Jiangdong City are all owned by the Zhang family.”

This also made Zhang Chen realize a key point.

“If I hadn’t arranged to take Xing Lingyun away in advance, the Demon Slayers’ Bureau would already be in the hospital.”

Rubbing his chin, Zhang Chen clicked his tongue.

He didn’t know whether Ye Fan’s choice was pure coincidence or if some greater force had arranged it.

Too bad.

It no longer mattered.

As the saying goes, feelings grow over time.

Zhang Chen found this to be absolutely true.

In just two days, his system showed that Xing Lingyun’s Affection Value for him had already reached 95!

Each time they queued together in a game, it increased by 1 point.

Zhang Chen was more than satisfied with this!

Checking the time, he got ready for his appointment.

His naïve and innocent fiancée had already sent him the time and location.

It was a high-end private dining restaurant in Jiangdong City.

After all, the host of the banquet was Xia Yanbing, the current head of the Lin Corporation.

And given that the guest was the direct heir of the Zhang family, naturally, the venue had to be fitting.

Since it was a formal banquet, Zhang Chen decided against bringing Xing Lingyun along.

“With my current physique, mastery in combat, and other trump cards, my safety shouldn’t be an issue.”

Zhang Chen checked his status.

As long as he didn’t have the misfortune of encountering a terrifying high-level demon,

he wouldn’t be in any real danger.

And even if he did, he had three substitute puppets capable of shielding him from fatal attacks by such creatures.

They were more than enough to guarantee his escape.

“Lin Corporation, Xia Yanbing… Tsk, tsk, time to meet her.”

…

Jiangdong City’s Largest Hospital

Inside a hospital ward, Ye Fan’s face was full of worry, his expression anxious.

“Doctor, how is she? My sister…?”

The doctors and nurses shook their heads.

Clearly, they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Ye Yiyi.

Which was only natural.

Ye Yiyi wasn’t in a coma due to any illness.

She had simply absorbed too much of Xing Lingyun’s demonic energy.

Modern medicine, advanced as it was, couldn’t detect any abnormalities in her condition.

“Student Ye, I’m sorry. We conducted a full examination, but we can’t find anything wrong with your sister for now.”

An elderly expert shook his head.

Ye Fan’s anxiety deepened. “Doctor, then what should we do?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll discuss it with the other specialists to see if we overlooked anything.”

Ye Fan knew they had done all they could.

He wanted to be angry, but at whom?

The doctors?

They had already tried their best.

His sister?

That was out of the question.

In the end, he could only blame himself.

“Yiyi, it’s all my fault. If only I hadn’t left home…”

Ye Fan’s leg was still injured, but since he was in a hospital, it had already been treated.

And as the destined protagonist, logic didn’t apply to him— a normal person’s broken leg would take three to four months to heal.

But Ye Fan?

Aside from wearing a brace and walking a bit awkwardly, he was already regaining full mobility.

Would you believe he was just an ordinary person?

Looking at his unconscious sister, Ye Fan felt a storm of emotions.

The siblings had always relied on each other.

Yet now, he felt completely powerless.

Watching Ye Yiyi lie motionless on the hospital bed, Ye Fan grew frustrated.

So, he left the ward to get some air.

And then, by sheer coincidence, he overheard a conversation in the hallway.

At first, he didn’t pay attention.

But suddenly, he realized—they were talking about his sister, Ye Yiyi!
