After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 145: I Promise You
On the other side of the instance, amidst the shock, Mu Chengsi quickly became aware of her situation.
She suppressed the shock in her eyes, though her gaze still uncontrollably fell on that all-too-familiar face.
Thinking of the woman’s earlier response, she couldn’t help but tug at the corners of her mouth, a cold sneer rising inside.
Not on the same team? Then what the h*ll were you doing just now?
But she still had to stick to her character setting in the plot. Staring at those abnormal red eyes, Mu Chengsi took a step back. Her tone seemed calm, but there was still a hint of barely detectable fear hidden in it. “You’re really Shen Youyou’s stepmother? Or… are you even human?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” The woman smiled at her, revealing two sharp little fangs. “I’m a vampire.”
Seeing Mu Chengsi still staring at Bo Jingmo, she waved her hand, signaling the man to come over. She reached out and gently touched his face, leaning into his arms. “As for Bo Jingmo, he’s my blood servant now.”
“Blood servant?”
Noticing something off with Bo Jingmo, Mu Chengsi frowned slightly.
“What did you do to him?”
Bo Jingmo, listening to this woman like that?
Yu Li blinked. “Nothing at all.”
As if to prove her point, she looked up at the man and spoke naturally, casually, “Bo Jingmo, did I do anything to you?”
The man shook his head. “No.”
Yu Li turned to Mu Chengsi with a helpless, innocent expression. “See? Even he says so.”
Mu Chengsi: “……” That just makes it even more suspicious, okay?
Seemingly finding Mu Chengsi’s speechless face amusing, the woman laughed out loud. She clapped her hands and strolled leisurely toward Mu Chengsi.
“Alright, I’ll stop teasing you, little classmate.”
She casually smoothed the long hair draped over her back. Her eyes glimmered playfully, her smile mysterious. “Of course Bo Jingmo listens to me—because I bit him. Otherwise, with his personality, he’d be impossible to control.”
Her steps were as graceful as a Persian cat, slowly circling around Mu Chengsi. Her tone was openly teasing. “Say, if Shen Youyou knew her boyfriend was now following my every command, wouldn’t she die of anger?”
A flicker of strange emotion passed through Mu Chengsi’s eyes. “Why are you telling me all this?”
Yu Li stopped in front of her, looking her up and down before raising a brow and smiling. “Because I admire you.”
“You’ve got some serious skills—actually managing to avoid those people.”
Hearing that, Mu Chengsi’s movements froze. She didn’t answer, just turned her face away, her voice dry. “There’s nothing to talk about between me and a vampire. If you want to kill me, just do it.”
The moment she witnessed that scene, she had already prepared herself to die.
“Is that so?” Yu Li’s gaze sparkled as she leaned in slightly and whispered, “Mu Chengsi, just look at Bo Jingmo. All it takes is one bite from me, and you’ll be just like him—a soulless shell.”
At those words, Mu Chengsi instinctively looked at Bo Jingmo. The man merely glanced at her coldly, no emotion in his eyes. The way he looked at her was as if she were a stranger.
Yet just a few minutes ago, this same man had shown extreme patience and gentleness toward an NPC.
If there were any reasonable explanation for Bo Jingmo’s condition, being enchanted seemed the most fitting.
But was that really it?
Staring at the woman’s face before her, Mu Chengsi couldn’t help but think of Yu Li again.
Bo Jingmo was with an NPC, and that NPC looked so much like Yu Li. If that was a coincidence… wasn’t it too much of one?
She lifted her eyes and met the woman’s bewitching red gaze, her voice unreadable. “So, you want to turn me into your blood servant too?”
She just didn’t know if that would count as dying.
Mu Chengsi was deep in thought, and naturally didn’t notice the slight frown that crept onto Bo Jingmo’s face after hearing that. His gaze showed a hint of displeasure.
Yu Li, on the other hand, chuckled lightly. “I really don’t see the need for that.”
“Mu Chengsi, I need someone clear-headed to help me capture Shen Youyou, and you’re the perfect candidate.”
Mu Chengsi narrowed her eyes slightly, glancing at the woman. “Why me?”
If this mission was to help Shen Youyou escape, and she was currently in the same team as Lina, what about the task?
Just as she was racking her brain for an excuse to get out, the woman’s voice suddenly rang in her ear.
“Why you? Don’t you want everything Shen Youyou has right now?”
Mu Chengsi’s expression faltered, then she quickly grasped the meaning behind those words. Her brows creased imperceptibly, a glint of sharpness flashed in her eyes.
Crap, she nearly forgot her character setting.
She was supposed to be Shen Youyou’s jealous roommate. If she went along with the woman’s suggestion, it actually fit her role perfectly.
If she refused, she might risk breaking character.
Sure enough, the woman continued, “I can help you kill Shen Youyou. After that, everything she has will be yours.”
Her ethereal voice had an almost spellbinding quality, making it hard to resist.
Yu Li gazed at Mu Chengsi with a smile, lips curving. “I don’t care for money or power. I just want Shen Youyou dead. You take the wealth, I take her life. Isn’t that a good deal? A win-win. I don’t see any reason for you to refuse.”
Mu Chengsi lowered her eyes in silence. After a long while, she looked up and said, “Do I even have a choice? If I refuse, I’ll still die, won’t I?” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
That one line immediately positioned her as the victim—making it seem like she and Yu Li were both being forced into this. Even if she turned on Yu Li later to help Shen Youyou, it would still make sense.
She really was laying out a perfect backup plan for herself.
Yu Li sighed silently to herself.
“Of course you have a choice.”
She strolled slowly to Bo Jingmo’s side, her tone relaxed. “I could just let you go back. You could team up with them, wait for the right moment, kill me, and then save Shen Youyou.”
The man beside her bent down to fix her hair, pulling a hair tie from his pocket and tying it up skillfully, as if he’d done it a hundred times.
Mu Chengsi stared at his actions in shock, momentarily forgetting to respond to Yu Li.
It wasn’t until the woman’s voice sounded again that she snapped out of it.
“But once I’m dead, Shen Youyou will return to her old life, living lavishly as always. And you, Mu Chengsi, will still be stuck in the same place.”
So what would it be—take a chance and maybe level up in life, or keep living in silence?
For someone like Mu Chengsi, who could be jealous of Shen Youyou, her choice was obvious.
So when she heard that, Mu Chengsi’s expression turned ugly. Her hands at her sides clenched slowly.
D*mn it, this NPC had just blocked off her escape route.
Now, her persona of someone who resented Shen Youyou’s background and took revenge out of jealousy was locked in. There was no way to wash that clean.
After a moment of silence, Mu Chengsi finally gritted her teeth and spoke.
“Fine, I promise you.”
