After Transmigrating, the Female Lead Went Dark (GL) - Chapter 15
Recently, a rumor about the Demon Sect Leader has been circulating among the Moshan Sect disciples. Some disciples claim that the Demon Sect Leader is not as terrifying as rumored; she is not wicked-looking at all, but rather delicate and sweet.
This piqued the curiosity of many male disciples. Some sought out Chen Mixian, who was previously in charge of guarding the Sect Leader, and the two gate-guarding disciples, asking them, “What does the Demon Sect Leader really look like?”
When the Sect Leader was brought back by the Saintess, she was in a carriage that went directly to the most secluded dungeon of the Moshan Sect, so many disciples never had a chance to see her.
Although they were extremely curious, due to her high danger rating and the fact that the Saintess was personally guarding her, they didn’t dare to sneak into the dungeon to peek at her face.
Just the fact that a sect leader had been reduced to a prisoner had already excited some disciples. But once the rumors spread that the Sect Leader was exquisitely beautiful and looked utterly harmless, the disciples’ discussion enthusiasm was fully ignited.
The two disciples who previously guarded the dungeon gave affirmative answers. “I don’t know if the demon is wicked or not, but she is quite beautiful, and she didn’t try to hurt anyone when Senior Brother Mixian brought her food.”
Chen Mixian, however, said, “The Demon Sect Leader was relatively docile during her time in the dungeon, but I know it’s all a facade! She must be trying to lower everyone’s guard so she can seize the chance to escape. You absolutely must not fall for it!”
The disciples were dismissive. “The Saintess is watching her. We’re not afraid!”
Despite what they said, they would take every opportunity during their patrol to circle the Saintess’s courtyard an extra time.
They didn’t encounter her yesterday, but today they happened to meet her, and they brazenly stared at the Sect Leader. The result was that the Sect Leader’s gaze scared them out of their wits. After leaving, they vehemently denounced the rumors: “Rumors are unreliable!”
Naturally, Xiao Xinyue thought there was no need for the Sect Leader to know about this.
Besides the patrolling disciples, the two of them also encountered Zhuo Zidan (the male lead).
Zhou Zhuying clearly felt the male lead’s gaze on her was increasingly wrong. Although he tried hard to conceal it, she could still sense killing intent.
Yikes, what happened?
Why is the male lead’s look so terrifying after only a short time apart?
Zhou Zhuying dared not greet him and subtly shrunk behind Xiao Xinyue.
“Elder Zhuo, have the various sects agreed to my proposal?” Xiao Xinyue asked.
Zhuo Zidan frowned and said grimly, “I will never agree to the Saintess doing this!”
Xiao Xinyue smiled slightly, shaking her head. “Elder, you need not persuade me. My mind is made up.”
“Xinyue!” Zhuo Zidan stepped forward, his face filled with sorrow. “Although you are the Saintess of the Moshan Sect and bear the heavy responsibility of upholding the righteous path, why must you sacrifice your life’s happiness?!”
“The Elder wouldn’t understand.”
Zhou Zhuying: “…”
She realized she suddenly couldn’t follow their conversation. She recognized every word, but put together, they left her utterly confused.
Listening closely, only one key point stood out: The female lead was going to sacrifice herself.
Why would Xiao Xinyue sacrifice herself? Did something happen?
Zhou Zhuying felt a tiny bit of regret—why hadn’t she taken a little time to read the novel? Was studying really that important?
Ah, yes, studying is indeed very important!
But if she had known she would transmigrate, maybe she would have squeezed in time to read the original novel… but thinking about it now is useless!
She began to recall whether Meng Xiaoxiao’s social media posts had mentioned anything relevant:
According to the original plot, after the male and female leads destroyed the Demon Sect, their reputations soared, and they were hated by the Demon Sect remnants.
The remnants secretly gathered to harm the various sects. The female lead went to handle them but was captured through their plotting. The male lead, upon learning of her capture, was enraged. He no longer held back and used his true power.
He single-handedly stormed the remnants’ base, rescued the female lead, and then led the righteous path to slaughter three thousand Demon Sect remnants. Beyond that, he also killed all the notorious villains who were not part of the Demon Sect.
From then on, there was no more Demon Sect in the world.
In the martial arts tournament the following year, the male lead was nominated by the former Martial Arts Supreme, Ling Guqing, as the new Martial Arts Supreme. He then led everyone to deal with the final boss—the Demon Venerable Li Dang.
••••
Zhou Zhuying racked her brain but couldn’t find an event that matched the conversation in front of her.
She suddenly realized something—the content of Meng Xiaoxiao’s social media circle was based on the plot that unfolded after the original Sect Leader had already been killed by the male and female leads.
Since she wasn’t killed, would the subsequent events still happen?
She snapped back to the present and found that the conversation between the male and female leads seemed to be going poorly, as the male lead glared at her angrily.
Zhou Zhuying: “???”
What is the male lead’s problem? He was rejected by the female lead when he showed concern. Why is he taking his frustration out on her? Is this a case of “When the protagonists fight, the cannon fodder suffers” or “When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer”?
Backed by the female lead’s protection, Zhou Zhuying momentarily forgot her fear of being sliced up like a watermelon in the original novel and glared right back.
Zhuo Zidan was furious: How dare she provoke me? She must have threatened Xinyue, otherwise why would Xinyue voluntarily use her marriage as a bargaining chip for peace in the righteous path?!
“Elder Zhuo, please attend to your business first. I will give everyone a better explanation for this matter. Perhaps your minds will change then.” Xiao Xinyue took half a step forward, blocking Zhuo Zidan’s line of sight.
Zhuo Zidan couldn’t argue with Xiao Xinyue. Feeling dejected, he didn’t bother to say more. He perfunctorily bowed in farewell and left.
Zhou Zhuying could tell from his back that he was radiating a three-foot column of fire.
Mindful that he might have excellent hearing as a cultivator, she didn’t immediately complain about him. Only when he was far away did she quietly ask, “Did you two have a fight?”
That’s rare. Didn’t Meng Xiaoxiao say that in typical male-focused novels, when the male and female leads have a dispute, the female lead almost always gives in to the male lead’s wishes?
No wonder this novel is considered a breath of fresh air in the male-focused genre. A female lead this heroic, with her intelligence, looks, and martial arts all online, who doesn’t rely on the male lead, is truly a rarity in these novels.
Just for the author’s ability to create a captivating female lead like Xiao Xinyue, Zhou Zhuying feels compelled to praise the author.
Xiao Xinyue said, “It’s nothing.”
Zhou Zhuying: “…”
No way! Judging by the male lead’s temper, it definitely doesn’t look like nothing!
“What was that about ‘sacrificing your happiness’? What happened?”
Xiao Xinyue smiled faintly. “Don’t listen to their nonsense. This matter isn’t as unfortunate as they imagine.” She was quite content, anyway.
Zhou Zhuying was completely lost. She tentatively suggested, “Are you worried about the Demon Sect remnants—oh no, the scattered disciples of the Qianji Sect?”
Xiao Xinyue looked at her with a knowing smile. “How did the Sect Leader know about this? Does she have a spy in the Moshan Sect?”
Seeing that smile, Zhou Zhuying thought of terms like “smiling tiger,” “dagger concealed in a smile,” and “honeyed words and a sharp tongue.” To prevent the female lead from getting suspicious, she quickly shook her head and denied it. “No one told me. I guessed.”
“Oh?”
She made up a story based on the original plot. “A popular Sect Leader like me must have many followers. Although Saintess sister attacked Shangushan and successfully captured the Qianji Sect’s main base, few disciples were actually active on Shangushan. Therefore, upon learning of this, the remaining disciples will certainly want revenge. They will gather and act solely based on their personal impulses, which could lead to mass killings…”
“The Sect Leader’s analysis is very accurate.” Xiao Xinyue gently clapped her hands, her smile becoming more meaningful. “Is the Sect Leader perhaps waiting for them to come to the rescue?”
A deadly question like this! Does she think I, Zhou “Unparalleled Wisdom, Survival King” Zhuying, would answer incorrectly?!
The Sect Leader was inwardly smug, but outwardly righteous. “No! Why would I wait for them to rescue me? I eat well and sleep well here, and I have Saintess sister’s care and attention, which is like maternal love. I’ve found a sense of home here. Tell me, how could a weak, pitiful, and helpless child bear to leave such a warm home?!”
“Maternal love?” Xiao Xinyue’s expression was obscure. She gave a cold laugh. “Heh.”
Zhou Zhuying blinked. The female lead doesn’t like me calling her her daughter? That’s easy to fix!
“Then, a profound and benevolent love like a grandmother’s!”
Xiao Xinyue’s smile vanished. “Does the Sect Leader know how the love of an elder is forged?”
“Huh?”
Xiao Xinyue somehow pulled out a whip. She wore a benevolent smile. “It’s whipped out.”
