CHAPTER 402: SUBSTITUTE BRIDE OF THE DEMON KING (6)

On top of that, the male protagonist, Silas, has already asked the Tallis noble family for the female protagonist’s, Ellie’s, hand in marriage. In the end, Yue Ran became the substitute bride of the Demon King.

This is clearly not a good time. The ideal period should have been before Silas overthrew the Demon King and took his place as the new Demon King. If it had been earlier, the start of this world would not have been as terrible as this— meaning that it would nearly be impossible to alter the fate of the original body and win both the love of the male protagonist and the male supporting role.

It is not a pleasant experience to be humiliated and forcefully pressed to the ground with a foot, but there is little that can be done about it. It is all the fault of the Lord God, who suddenly threw her into this world without any prior warning.

The guard who heard the order immediately stepped forward. Yue Ran’s body trembled uncontrollably, and she subconsciously shrank back.

After the young woman fully integrated with the memories and plot, the control of her body gradually recovered. Yue Ran reached out to wipe the blood flowing down her forehead to her eyes. When she looked up, her eyes caught the long sword hanging on the guard’s waist.

If she could not beat him, she would not be able to escape the torture. No one could persuade the furious male protagonist to change his mind except the female protagonist.

In this case, let alone abusing the scum men, it is a big problem to save her life. Not to mention that the stronger the will of such a madman is, the more difficult it is for people to control him.

So, how can she change the plot now?

The guard beside her reached a hand toward her chest. At the same time, Yue Ran suddenly stretched out her hand to draw a long sword hanging from the waist of the guard. The silver sword light was cold and unfeeling.

It only took one second. The blade flashed, and Yue Ran thrust the sword into the upper chest of the guard.

A stab. The sharp metal meets the flesh. Blood splattered.

The guard, who extended his hand, seemed to have not expected her sudden resistance. Before he realized it, he was stabbed through the heart and lost consciousness. Well, he is likely dead.

"Do... do not come over..."

Yue Ran shouted loudly, and the long sword in her hand was a bit unstable.

The guards around were stunned by the sudden reversal and actually stopped in place.

Yue Ran looked up in the direction of Silas with tears in her eyes. The sharp sword in her hand was bright and cold, not a match for the young woman’s pure appearance.

Her phoenix eyes were hazed over with autumn water, especially clear, seemingly embellished with broken crystals. A few traces of blood stained the corners of her eyes, like little red rubies, giving her a bewitching beauty. Her eyes were so beautiful that it was hard to look directly at her.

She is like a unique, luminous body in the world, attracting everyone’s attention.

Under the light of the chandelier above the heads of the group, a crowd was formed around a young woman. Her finger bones turned paper white as she gripped the sword tightly, and her whole body was shaky.

Yue Ran bit her lower lip, her eyes that reflected the light seemed to be filled with fear.

Silas met her gaze at that moment.

When their eyes intertwined, Yue Ran activated her power, the "Illusion Eye Technique." It is a kind of illusion that can confuse people, similar to a kind of enhanced psychological hypnosis in life.

The moment the man met her gaze, he was struck by a moment of hallucination. This hallucination revealed what he desired the most in his heart and would make him see the person he loved the most in his life.

Yue Ran was afraid that the effect was not sufficient enough, so she immediately searched for the memories of the female protagonist from the plot in her mind. Fortunately, there were plenty. The young woman quickly recalled the expression of the female protagonist when she looked at the men she was interested in.

To be precise, it was the look that the female protagonist should have when she gazed at her lover. Yue Ran slowly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with fiery eyes.

The time-traveling woman from another world is accustomed to pursuing equality among people. Therefore, she will look at others directly and boldly. If she "fell in love" with someone at first sight, her eyes must be burning as hot as the sun.

Yue Ran most certainly did not love the male protagonist, unlike the original owner of the body, but she could imitate how the female protagonist would behave. The emotion in her eyes is what Silas desired the most at that moment.

Hidden behind her eyes is a kind of stubborn and desperate feeling that extends deep into her bones. However, she is now in despair, like a flower on the verge of withering and dying.

Silas’s eyes darkened slightly.

If it had been someone else, Silas might not have been moved. However, the look Yue Ran gave him was too similar to Ellie’s— so identical that it was hard to tell the real from the fake. Not to mention that they looked almost identical, which made it even harder to tell the difference.

Clearly, Silas was taken aback.

There was even a moment when he thought that Yue Ran was Ellie.

He knew very well that Ellie would never look at him like that, yet he still hesitated. The more something is unattainable, the more he desires to possess it. Even if he knew that it was fake, he could not help...
