Chapter 2

Chapter 2

To everyone’s surprise, I wasn’t torn to shreds.

Instead, I was taken back to the Demon Realm’s lair by the young Ghost King.

All along the way, the youth had a smile in his eyes and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Meanwhile, I was held firmly in his arms.

My whole body was stiff, and I didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

I was so nervous that I could only stare at the bullet screen without stopping for a moment.

Only then did I learn that this world was actually a romance novel.

My brother, Pei Jinzhuo, was the male lead-a genius sword cultivator of the cultivation world and the future number one Immortal Lord.

And I was the cannon fodder sister who spent the early parts of the story constantly causing trouble for him.

Because I accidentally trespassed into a demon’s cave and released the trapped female lead, I was supposed to be devoured on the spot by the enraged arch-villain, Chi Li.

…And I mean devoured in the literal sense, eaten clean, skin and bones.

By the time my brother finally realized something was wrong and went to the cave to find me, there would have been nothing left but a broken Sound Transmission Jade Slip.

He would be grief-stricken.

He would vow to kill the Evil Ghost Chi Li to avenge me.

The female lead, Cen Yongmiao, would also feel immense guilt and proactively follow my brother to comfort and heal him.

The two would fight side-by-side, developing feelings over time, and eventually create a combined technique to completely eliminate the villain.

A happy ending for everyone.

But.

Now, I, who should have already been swallowed alive by Chi Li, had suddenly deviated from the plot.

I had confessed to him.

The bullet screen was filled with question marks:

[Wait, if the sister isn’t eaten, how is the male lead going to get his revenge?]

[And isn’t the villain only obsessed with the female lead? Why is he holding the sister now? What does this mean?]

[Wait, I get it. The villain must be using the sister as a substitute for the female lead. If you look closely, not only do they look a bit alike, but they’re both called Miaomiao!]

[That actually makes sense. But if that’s the case, won’t the future plot completely collapse?]

[Nooo, I still want to see the sunshine female lead redeem the broken, cold-as-ice male lead, sob sob.]

Heh.

The bullet screen’s worries were completely unnecessary.

The plot definitely hadn’t collapsed.

What they didn’t know was that while the Evil Ghost holding me had a smile in his eyes, he was actually complaining in his head out of sheer boredom.

{Miaomiao is so thin.}

{She’ll definitely taste terrible.}

{I’ll wait until she’s fattened up to eat her; she’ll be more delicious then…}

No one understood how much I spiraled into despair the moment I felt Chi Li’s Adam’s apple bob.

Using the last shred of my spiritual power, I tried once more to send a message to my brother.

I prayed desperately.

Brother, save me one more time.

Just one last time.

I promise I’ll be good from now on and never annoy you again.

I just want to stay alive.
