Chapter 169: Carry Away the Little Unlucky Star
Even without a filter, Yun Zhonghe was definitely the most handsome person Su Xiaoxiao had ever seen.
With a face that was both manly and delicate, his features were almost more refined than those of a girl, yet he still maintained an air of masculinity.
His eyebrows were like willow branches, and with his body as straight as a jade tree, his gold hair flowed behind him like a waterfall. His red, white, and black outfit highlighted his tall and slender figure, while the high-quality robe added an extra layer of mystique and nobility.
He was so striking and chiseled, almost like a moving statue, exuding a powerful charm!
Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be in a daze, her eyes seemingly glued to Yun Zhonghe.
“Are you okay?”
Yun Zhonghe’s caring voice pierced her ears, causing a tingle right in her heart. Her heart raced even faster.
Wait wait wait, who’s this guy? Do I know him? How did he suddenly appear?
Su Xiaoxiao was clearly flustered. She was a classic introvert who rarely talked to anyone, but deep down, she craved attention. However, when faced with strangers, she would turn into a nervous wreck, feeling like she wanted to melt away.
Especially since this guy was so handsome and dashing, rushing to her rescue in her time of need.
Su Xiaoxiao felt her breathing nearly stop.
This, this remote forest… why would such a person show up? Is he stalking me? No no no, someone as dark and gloomy as me wouldn’t make anyone want to stalk them. They might not even want to buy my soul… but… maybe there’s someone out there who likes this kind of thing?
Although Su Xiaoxiao was an introvert, her thoughts ran wild, and within moments she couldn’t help but come up with all sorts of ridiculous ideas.
Of course, she knew these were just daydreams because she lacked friends and desperately wanted to socialize.
There was no way someone like her could be popular. She was probably just a passerby who happened to save her.
Thinking this, Su Xiaoxiao felt even more apologetic. She lowered her head, hiding her eyes under her bangs, as if she had done something wrong.
She felt terrible; after all, Yun Zhonghe saved someone like her—a real downer. If this were any other “normal” girl, they might have become a couple in a heroic romance story.
Who would have thought it would be her, such a damaged product?
“Thank… thank you for your help.”
Su Xiaoxiao tried her best to keep her voice steady, trying to hide her shame and embarrassment.
Although she really wanted to thank him, he seemed perfectly fine, and she was just a very flawed girl who couldn’t offer him anything. So she didn’t feel worthy of giving him anything.
Deep down, Su Xiaoxiao felt incredibly humble, hoping Yun Zhonghe would just leave her alone.
Sure, she knew about gratitude, but everyone who got close to her ended up having bad luck. She didn’t want to drag down Yun Zhonghe, so she hoped he would just leave.
Someone like her didn’t deserve such an excellent guy’s attention.
Yun Zhonghe reminded her of a handsome protagonist from a romantic story, destined to be with an angelic girl.
Su Xiaoxiao’s mind was teeming with images, and the more she thought, the more she felt she didn’t measure up. She figured Yun Zhonghe would probably lose interest the moment he saw her, but to her surprise, her lower view revealed his shoes.
This guy was getting closer to her?!
Not only that, but his gaze was filled with intense heat.
Yes, right now, Yun Zhonghe was shocked.
Because he recognized this girl. She looked big but also timid like a hamster.

(Su Xiaoxiao character design)
She had thick black hair, with long bangs even covering her eyes, but Yun Zhonghe could still tell that this girl was originally very cute and innocent, just too shy and introverted to let her true beauty shine through.
Plus, she wasn’t good at grooming herself and remained quite plain, further suppressing her looks.
Her skin was dull, her hands and feet were very thin, likely due to poor nutrition.
But she was certainly taller than average girls, standing at 178 cm, almost as tall as Yun Zhonghe, and her chest was a sight to behold.
It was said that Mu Jixue’s nutrition all went to her chest, but seeing Su Xiaoxiao made one think it was actually all her energy concentrating in that area.
Clearly skinny, yet her bust was like a battleship! And it was so perky one could tell its shape would be perfect, the elasticity and softness were perfectly balanced, truly a divine set of b*obs!
A flat-chested girl would cry in the toilet over this comparison.
There was no doubt; this was the second main heroine from the original plot, Su Xiaoxiao!
Yun Zhonghe felt incredibly lucky. He had so conveniently rescued Su Xiaoxiao, scoring a perfect start.
Yes, actually, Yun Zhonghe didn’t even know who he just saved.
After sensing some abnormality in the forest, he immediately went to look for Mu Jixue, and on his way, received a rescue call from Lin Zhongyu.
So, Yun Zhonghe immediately spread his spiritual energy to scan the forest, but the forest was vast. Once his spiritual energy covered the entire area, it didn’t detect much.
But then, the Book of Prophecy seemed to have some sort of connection with this place, so he figured it must have been the Book of Prophecy and Huang Aotian’s aura resonating.
Who knew he’d just end up saving someone else instead.
But since he did save someone, he’d better see it through.
When he inspected the other person, he was surprised to find out it was Su Xiaoxiao—the main heroine!
This sudden happiness left Yun Zhonghe speechless.
No no no, Leng Jing! Focus!
He told himself to stay calm and remember his identity!
Still, understandable—it’s not every day you meet the second main lead, another person who could change your life. Surely, Yun Zhonghe would be excited.
He thought back to his principles for meeting the main lead, knowing the first impression was crucial. Getting off on the right foot with her would decide whether they could be good friends or if she’d despise him.
Especially Su Xiaoxiao, with the right cultivation, she would be very straightforward to win over. She craved friendship just like him, making it a perfect match.
If no one wants to be your friend, I’ll do it!
“H-hold on!”
Yun Zhonghe took a step forward to approach Su Xiaoxiao, but she trembled and raised her hand, signaling him to stop.
“No… don’t come closer… Thank you for your kindness, I’m fine, but you can’t come near me. Otherwise… you’ll get cursed…”
Her voice carried a deep sadness and despair.
“Cursed?” Yun Zhonghe froze for a moment, then his face broke into a mad grin. “Oh that’s great, I could really use some cursed luck. Can I borrow some?”
Su Xiaoxiao: ?!?!
She was confused, wondering if she heard wrong.
Yun Zhonghe didn’t explain further. Without hesitation, he approached her and picked her up in a princess carry.
“Let’s go somewhere safer.”
“Wha—?!”
As she felt the touch of skin, Su Xiaoxiao slowly opened her large blue eyes, her whole body going completely stiff.
