They don't actually think I like them, do they?

And then the person who had fainted suddenly came back to life?!

Who can I complain to about this?!

If there were directors in this world, everyone's biggest wish right now would be to quit the show, go home, and stop playing!

If there's a next life, I want to be the protagonist too!!

......

The rest of the time was spent chopping vegetables and cutting melons.

Mangzi once again demonstrated what it means to be the strongest delinquent girl, single-handedly wiping out hundreds of delinquent boys.

It's like cleaning up trash.

Sweep it up, then dump it in the trash can.

Their speed and strength were so terrifying that Lin Han could often only see afterimages before he saw one person smash a crack in the wall and another fly more than ten meters away.

He always thought that Mangzi's strength lay in having a mobile arsenal, but the facts proved that when it came to physical combat, Mangzi was just as strong.

With the arrival of reinforcements from the Pear God Cult and their reunion with Mangzi, everything settled down.

The outcome has been decided.

Qi Zilong stared blankly at all of this, his mind completely blank.

After years of painstaking effort, all wasted in one battle!

After this, the Fujisaki Group lost all its prestige, and many of its affiliated high schools will become independent.

It's over, it's over.

The root of all this is that he offended someone he shouldn't have.

Is it Mu Xin?

No, it's not!

If it were that girl, the deceased son wouldn't have made a move at all.

Qi Zilong raised his head and looked at the boy in the distance with fear.

Judging from their conversation, this boy is the terrifying source that caused the deceased son to take action.

Who is he?

He actually managed to use his deceased son for his own purposes?!

There are such ruthless characters in the underworld?!

Before Qi Zilong could figure this out, the next second, a cultist wearing a clown mask grabbed his head and threw it in front of Lin Han.

"Master, I've brought the person to you."

Lin Han didn't hold back. He stood up and slapped him twice to see if he would still act crazy.

Qi Zilong was stunned by the slap. At this moment, he was no longer the fierce man he had been before, and was completely listless.

This completely extinguished Lin Han's desire to interact.

"Let me do it."

Mangzi walked over; she was more than skilled at interrogating people about this kind of thing.

The girl tossed her ponytail behind her and straightened her slightly disheveled skirt.

Then he kicked him in the back.

Qi Zilong immediately fell face-first to the ground, landing on his stomach.

Lin Han, standing to the side, looked terrified.

"Why don't you ask me a question?"

Everyone talks about torture, but how can you torture someone without asking questions?!

With a calm and collected expression, Mangzi said, "Give me a kick first, and then ask all the questions while we're fighting."

Then, Mangzi turned his head and asked impatiently,

"Hey, why are you arresting Mu Xin?"

"Didn't you already know...?" Qi Zilong said in a low voice.

Mu Xin was never the primary target; Mu Zhen was.

By capturing Mu Xin, they can threaten her older sister, Mu Zhen.

This is obvious.

"Just for this? Why make such a big fuss?" Mangzi confirmed.

Qi Zilong fell silent.

"Okay."

Mangzi had guessed that this was the reason, but he hadn't guessed that this was the exact reason.

Are there really people this despicable that they would make such a big fuss just to do something so vulgar and despicable?

Since that's the case, Mangzi has nothing more to ask.

Just hit it.

Mangzi grabbed Qi Zilong by the hair and gave him a good beating.

Qi Zilong was beaten so badly that his face was swollen and bleeding profusely, and he couldn't even open his eyes.

Finally, Qi Zilong's legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground, breaking down in tears.

"I...I just wanted to..."

Qi Zilong looked up and sighed.

"I want to see her one more time!!!"

The shouts pierced the sky and echoed through the streets and alleys.

Lin Han and Mang Zi were both stunned.

"Ha ha?"

So you had a crush on someone, huh?!

"You know what? No matter how strong I become, or how high I climb, Mu Zhen... she still won't even glance at me! All my challenges have been rejected. I even tried to ambush her at the school gate, but her henchmen beat me up..."

Qi Zilong held his face in his hands, tears and blood mingling on his skin, looking utterly disheveled.

"I really, really, really want to be stepped on by Miss Mu Zhen again..."

Everyone was silent.

The injured younger brother lying on the ground beside him was already in tears.

The younger brothers comforted their eldest brother:

"Brother, don't cry! That day will come sooner or later!"

"Big brother is so affectionate, sob sob..."

"One day, Miss Mu Zhen will realize how deep her brother's feelings are, and she'll definitely kick him again!!"

......

Lin Han finally understood who he had been fighting for the past few hours.

What the hell? !

I feel like I've wasted several hours of my life!!

After delivering the final kick to Qi Zilong, the guy lay completely on the ground, unable to get up, probably having passed out.

Just then, a clown nearby suddenly realized what was happening.

"Wait a minute, weren't we supposed to be here to save the Goddess of Pears?"

"Where are the pears?"

Looking left and right, all the clowns could see was Mangzi.

Everyone finally realized what was happening.

I've been tricked!!

"They actually used us to save other women! Bah! And they call themselves leaders?!"

"Damn it, someone like you dares to bring happiness to Pear?! From today onwards, you have nothing to do with the Pear Cult!"

"You philandering man, you are no longer our leader! You are not worthy of the pear essence of love that we offer!"

"Let's call it a day, let's call it a day..."

In no time at all, the surrounding area was completely illuminated.

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Han and Mang Zi remained standing.

They finally had time to look at each other properly.

Lin Han looked at the injuries on Mangzi's face and body, as well as the soiled dress, and hesitated to speak.

He was just about to raise his hand

The next second, Mangzi hugged Lin Han tightly.

Lin Han's azure eyes widened suddenly, his hands dangling in the air, at a loss for what to do.

"Idiot! Who told you to come and save me?!"

Mangzi hugged Lin Han's neck while punching Lin Han's back with her other fist.

He must have been seriously injured, because those punches didn't even make Lin Han cough up bile.

"Do you know how dangerous this is?! What would you do if I didn't wake up? Can you please stop overestimating yourself? Didn't you say you'd leave this kind of thing to me...?"

Lin Han, who had been shoved into the dirt, didn't blush. Instead, he stared intently into Mangzi's eyes and stammered:

"I just hope... you can rely on me sometimes..."

"After all, you're a girl too, aren't you?"

057. Female Lead

In an instant, Mangzi was stunned.

Soon, tears welled up in her eyes.

The girl quickly turned her face away and covered her pretty face.

"Idiot Lin Han, you...you've finally said something sensible..."

Mangzi waited far too long for this sentence.

From the moment I first became an idol and stepped onto the stage.

Having enjoyed the spotlight and brought joy to the audience, Mangzi has always dreamed and hoped to become an ordinary girl, living a simple life, possessing the innocence that a 19-year-old should have and being treated gently by everyone.

Even someone like me...

Perhaps they too can become such dazzling idols.

Once upon a time, she tried to forget the fighting and killing through self-hypnosis, turning herself into a love-struck girl—just like most girls her age, innocent and naive, with endless beautiful fantasies about the opposite sex of her age.

She hopes that one day, a man strong enough to protect her will appear, who won't care about her past and will truly treat her as a girl.

Just like a period drama she once watched:

Even if you have the power to destroy the world, you will still be the girl I want to protect in this life.

Mangzi wiped away her tears and steadied her breathing.

She turned back, her face slightly flushed, and spoke in a low voice with a hint of insecurity.

Like a young girl just emerging from the garden:

"Can I... really rely on you?"
