Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Chapter 148 Fate Contract

The room was empty.

Mei Yu's sobs, as helpless as a kitten soaked in the rain, scratched at Jiang Ling's heart with every sound.

Jiang Ling stood there dumbfounded, her mind reeling.

Tao Tao is broken...?

Did they already know I was the Cardboard Knight...?

And, I'm leaving tomorrow...?

"Waaaaah, waaaah... you stinky blondie, Miu doesn't want to leave... Miu loves you, loves you the most..."

She sobbed uncontrollably, her tears soaking a large patch of his shirt. "But if I don't leave... they... they'll target you and Kexin... you're already Miyu's 'family'!"

"My brother, sister, mother... all my 'family' were... killed by them."

She finally broke down completely, like a young animal that had finally found its den.

She threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

The fear, sadness, and loneliness that had been building up for so long burst forth at this moment.

Jiang Ling took a deep breath and rubbed her throbbing temples.

He gently patted her trembling back with his palm.

"Miyu, wait a moment, let's talk about things one by one..."

"I'm sorry... Waaaaah..."

No need to apologize.

His voice lowered, but remained unusually firm. "Speak, I'm listening. No matter what happens, I'll be on your side."

So, intermittently, interspersed with sobs, Li Meiyu told the whole story.

He revealed everything about the "Kujo Family," "Gene Awakening," and "The Snow White House"...

After leaving the "White House".

She always wore the mask of a "rich heiress".

Her older siblings used their deaths as a bargaining chip to buy her a "mask," and from that moment on, the real "Li Meiyu" had already locked herself away in the narrow depths of her heart.

And now, she's about to leave.

She left this place where her two "family members" were.

So, facing the prospect of losing family members again...

She couldn't help but cry.

Those well-prepared "plans" slipped away secretly, using the excuse of inheriting the family business at home, or they simply became ruthless and broke up with Jiang Ling and cut ties with Ke Xin...

All of it vanished under the extreme grief and emotional impact.

Now, the one crying is no longer the "Li Group heiress," but the most real person—Miyu-chan.

As Jiang Ling listened to her recount the past, his expression grew increasingly somber.

His fist, as big as a sandbag, was clenched tightly, his nails digging into his palm.

"And then... this ability,"

She sniffed, raised a hand, and her smooth black hair subtly turned pale gold. A dazzling yet dangerous cluster of purple lightning crackled in her palm. "Back then... I saw it with 'Magnetic Field'—you and Kexin-chan... kissing..."

Before she could finish speaking, she pouted again, and her tears fell even more fiercely:

"I was...really heartbroken at the time..."

Jiang Ling lowered her head and let out a long sigh.

"I'm sorry, Miu. I lied to you about this. It's all my fault."

His voice was hoarse: "But...sigh, I'm sorry, all I can say is...my love for you is genuine..."

Just thinking about that time...

She and Kexin shared a farewell kiss in front of Meiyu.

The guilt gnawed at his heart like a rat, both painful and itchy, making him want to tear it out and scratch it hard.

"If you hate me because of this..."

"no."

"Eh..."

"Miyu, I can no longer hate you, even if... you and Kexin have that kind of relationship."

Li Meiyu's little head rested against his chest, her tone earnest:

"Miyu, I will always love you. Even if you stop loving Miyu in the future, Miyu will always love you."

"Back then, when I learned you were the Cardboard Knight."

"When I found out you were the Cardboard Knight... a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders."

She lifted her tear-stained face and sniffled.

Jiang Ling didn't dare to meet Mei Yu's eyes.

Those tearful eyes were filled with an unreserved, almost overflowing love, so pure that it made his heart tremble.

"Liulichuan said that if I tell you these things, they will kill you."

"But now, Miu isn't afraid anymore."

"Because you are Cardboard Knight, Superman who can lift a Ferris wheel, they can't kill you."

"So, after Miyu leaves... even if they change their minds, it will be too late..."

"You stinky blondie..." As she spoke of leaving, Li Meiyu's already red eyes welled up with tears again.

"After I leave, you...you should bring Kexin to live with you, treat Kexin as me, and stop thinking about me..."

"This way, we can also protect Kexin..."

"And what about you?" Jiang Ling suppressed the surging violence within her, her voice tight. "What do you plan to do?"

"Miyu, Miyu plans to get pregnant with your child, then go back, give birth, and never see you again..."

She lowered her head, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace, and tears streamed down her face onto the floor.

Jiang Ling closed her eyes and asked, "So, you plan to bear all the suffering alone?"

"Because... Miyu doesn't want to lose any more family members..." she choked back tears, her shoulders shrinking even tighter.

"So, the thing that you...you're the Cardboard Knight...it doesn't matter anymore."

Jiang Ling said, word by word, "I will be with Kexin, doing the things we used to do. I will take her out to play, go to and from school with her, and kiss her under the fireworks festival..."

"Eh..."

"From this day forward, all traces of you will disappear from this house, and other girls will take your place..."

"Miyu, I want to hear your true thoughts... not just rational analysis."

"This isn't the real you, Miu."

Jiang Ling took a deep breath and gently grasped her small hand:

"My love for you is real, and I admit it—I want to have a harem, I want you all to be my wives..."

"This is my 'selfish' but most honest thought."

"And what about you, Miyu..."

Li Meiyu stared blankly at him, her lips moved a few times, and she lowered her head little by little.

After a brief silence, the suppressed sobs suddenly erupted, turning into heart-wrenching cries:

"I...I...I, you stinky blondie...Waaaaah..."

"Please, save Miyu."

"Miyu doesn't want to leave you, and she doesn't want to see another girl monopolize you... Help Miyu kill him, kill Kujo Ryou, that man, and then, elope with Miyu..."

"Let's go together, to a place where there's no one else, just... just you and me... and then, live together like before."

"Miyu, I'm willing, willing to give myself to you, to have so many children... Waaaaah..."

To ask Jiang Ling to stand against the entire Li Group is nothing short of a fantasy. Yet it is her deepest, most humble, and most fervent fantasy—that her hero will sweep away everything and lead her away from this cycle of despair.

Jiang Ling watched her trembling as she cried, then reached out and wiped away her tears.

"it is good."

"Huh...?"

"Miyu, I promise you, I'll help you kill that man."

"but,"

His voice lowered, carrying an undeniable resolve, yet also a hint of apology, "A world just for the two of us... I can no longer give you that promise."

[Beep! Detected that the host has opened up to the "female lead," eliminating the last trace of barrier...]

[Uniqueness, the Bond of Destiny, Activated!]

Jiang Ling was taken aback, then remembered.

After faking his death in front of Miyu last time, the system gave him a "unique" reward. However, he tried to access it several times, but nothing happened. He even thought the system was scamming him...

did not expect.

Does it require this kind of heart-to-heart connection to activate?

【Uniqueness, a Bond of Fate】

[Synopsis: A future simulator where you and the female protagonist embark on a simulation together, gaining access to all memories from an observer's perspective.]

[Currently selectable female lead: Li Meiyu]

[Should we start the emulator as well?]

[Activation method: Connect.]

I never expected "Hundred Fate Contracts" to be a simulator!

Jiang Ling's heart pounded. She took a deep breath and looked at Mei Yu:

"Miyu, don't get dressed yet..."

"Huh? Um...you, you...okay...you stinky blondie, you're such a pervert...you just said such sentimental things..."

"Well……"

[Beep! Connection successful—simulation begins...]

……

The next day, when Liulichuan came to demand your release, you chose to confront the Li Consortium head-on.

"I'm starving—! You...you lowly commoner! How dare you hit me? I'm the secretary of the Kujo Corporation...you just wait, you mere S-rank superhuman..."

Liulichuan covered her face in terror.

Li Meiyu stared blankly at the scene before her, as if watching a movie.

Jiang Ling stepped in front of Mei Yu and elegantly wiped her palms.

"That stinky blond guy... what's this...?"

"This is my superpower; I can predict future events, like... a simulation of choices."

Jiang Ling held her soft little hand tightly and lowered her head to say:

"This is a simulated future where I 'confront' the Lee Foundation... Consider it a rehearsal, something like... watching our future in a parallel world."

Li Meiyu's mouth opened slightly, and she mechanically turned her head to look at him:

"You stinky blondie... just how many things are there that Miu doesn't know?"

Jiang Ling thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "A lot more..."

"Oh..." she murmured, her eyes lowered.

"However, there is one thing that Miu can completely believe."

"Huh...?"

"I will always love Miu."

Li Meiyu's ears turned red, and she turned her face away, letting out a soft hum: "So cheesy... you scumbag. You've said that to other girls too, haven't you?"

"Yes." Jiang Ling nodded frankly, "But Meiyu is special."

She didn't ask any further questions, pursed her lips with mixed feelings, and turned her gaze back to the illusory scene before her.

What else will happen in that distant "parallel world"...?

[In the simulator]

"Bastard...bastard..."

Liu Lichuan knelt on the ground, his usually arrogant face flushed red.

She tore at the silver collar that had suddenly appeared around her neck like a mad beast.

That man acted with lightning speed.

A fist the size of a sandbag delivered a powerful blow to the abdomen.

They beat her until she knelt on the ground, vomiting bile.

Then, taking the opportunity, he put a strange silver necklace around her neck that she couldn't take off no matter what.

Jiang Ling squatted down and pinched her chin.

"Tell me, where is the boss of your Li Group?"

Liu Lichuan tilted his head back, his eyes full of disdain, and stubbornly said:

"I can't possibly tell you anything... Aaaaaaah!"

The silver necklace released an electric current, violently shocking her.

then.

Liulichuan was horrified to discover that she had uncontrollably started speaking:

"Lord Dawn... has a true body and a false body... the false body appears to be within the group, but in reality, the true body is... in Tokyo... in the garden of the Hamari Palace... underground..."

How could this be? How could this be?!

Liulichuan wanted to bite off his tongue, never imagining that he had revealed Lord Dawn's secret to him.

Isn't this guy a strength-type superhuman?

"Now, tell me everything you know about the Kujo family."

Liulichuan uncontrollably began to speak the truth.

However, there was nothing Jiang Ling wanted to hear...

Aside from the initial Nine Dawns' true and false identities.

"Meiyu, close your eyes. When you open them again, you will be free," Jiang Ling said gently as she closed her eyes.

Li Meiyu lowered her head, snuggled into his arms, and nodded gently:

"Um……"

"Aaaaaah—! I deserve to die, I deserve to die... I'm so sorry! Lord Dawn, I... I betrayed you..."

"You deserve to die," Jiang Ling said coldly, throwing a punch.

The fist pierced her chest, shattering her heart.

"Hahaha, go ahead, Lord Dawn... The underground laboratory where he is located is as solid as a rock, and there's a private military base nearby... Even if you knew, you'd only be courting death..."

puff--!

With a spurt of blood, Liulichuan fell silent.

Then, you and Miu rushed to the Tokyo Hamarikyu Gardens overnight.

This is a royal garden from the Edo period.

Instead of painstakingly searching for the entrance to the underground, you directly activated "Emperor Mode - Golden Spirit Power".

In the simulation, Jiang Ling holds Mei Yu in his arms, stands in mid-air, and coldly looks down at the exquisite garden below.

"You stinky blondie, do you want to get down?" Miyu whispered in her arms.

"Of course."

"That... entrance..."

"That kind of thing is no longer needed."

"Huh?"

Jiang Ling landed, knelt on one knee, and pressed her palm against the ground.

boom--!

The once smooth earth cracked open with spiderweb-like fissures. The next second, thousands of steel bars, like awakened metal pythons, roared and burst forth from the ground!

The underground laboratory, now without support, collapsed with a deafening roar. Thousands of square meters of ground sank several meters. The once magnificent royal garden was reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ling unleashed his Observation Haki.

"Hmm? There's no sign of life..." Jiang Ling frowned.

That old man... isn't here?

Or rather, he was wary of even his secretary of over twenty years, and the information he shared with her was false...

Sudden.

Li Meiyu looked up at the sky not far away, her eyes filled with terror, and tugged at his sleeve:

"You stinky blondie...run, run!"

Whoosh whoosh—

Hundreds of Type 03 medium-range air defense missiles, trailing plumes of flame, hurtled towards them, followed by a massive swarm of drones.

Jiang Ling immediately unleashed his Observation Haki, his eyes gradually turning cold.

125架F-15J、27架F-A、66枚战斧巡航飞弹、141枚03式巡航飞弹、3架F-35B、地面上M2A3布雷德利步兵战车竖起高高的炮口……

Besides.

There was also a B-1B strategic bomber in the sky, carrying a highly destructive GBU-72B bunker buster bomb.

If this lineup were placed in the African region, it would be a powerful force capable of unifying the country, and the head of the Kujo family would be able to control the military power of mainland Japan.

Jiang Ling was not surprised.

However, even weapons from the nearby America military base could be mobilized...

The reclusive family at the top of the pyramid is truly extraordinary.

Li Meiyu, who was "watching the game," was on tenterhooks.

Unexpectedly, that man... after learning that she didn't want to go back...

Show no mercy whatsoever.

They even dispatched a massive swarm of planes and missiles to completely annihilate her and that stinky blond guy...

He's a man who's cold to the extreme.

Anyone who does not act in his interests must be destroyed.

"You stinky blondie... can you beat him?" Li Meiyu turned to ask Jiang Ling, who was standing to the side, stroking his chin as he watched the fight.

Jiang Ling stared at the simulation and sneered, "If they had hidden themselves any longer, I might have had to temporarily avoid their sharp edge in the future."

"But your biology dad is too confident."

"At this point, even a nuclear bomb couldn't kill me!"

Li Meiyu looked incredulous: "How is that possible... a nuclear bomb, that kind of thing can destroy an entire city."

Jiang Ling just smiled and didn't explain.

After all, uranium-235 is also a metal, and in front of an emperor who can control the power of metal spirits... it's like a virgin being slapped by a succubus.

Want to explode?

Hehe, I won't let you leak it!

[Within the emulator]

Jiang Ling raised his index finger towards the sky and the ground below, and said calmly:

"Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme!"
