Female Protagonist Is A Blackened Villainess Chapter 19

Chapter 19:  The Formidable b.u.t.terfly Effect

“Yes, my elder sister is a good person. I understand.” Zi Linglong maintained a proper position, nodding solemnly.

Long s.h.i.+yan: "…"

“No, Linglong, listen to me first…” Long s.h.i.+yan quickly softened her voice. However, Zi Linglong interrupted. “Master, you are hungry, I will give something to eat first.” Without waiting for Long s.h.i.+yan, Zi Linglong trotted away with a serious face, leaving Long s.h.i.+yan alone.

Anyway, she felt that this development was wrong!

“I would rather keep my sins to myself.”

“Shut your mouth!” Long s.h.i.+yan swept a glance at the perpetrator of those sarcastic words. “I told you that I am not a bad person…”

“Haha…” System Qian Qian laughed aloud. “Hahaha, I'm going to laugh to death, the host is too funny. I am going to laugh to death, I am not a bad person, hahaha…”

Long s.h.i.+yan: "…"

“Ha ha ha. Generally, the bad guys are the ones to tell others that they are good people. Host, you deceive people, even small lolis. How could you lie to me? I am the great system! The most righteous and rational creature.” System Qian Qian was full of arrogance.

“Bad person?” Long s.h.i.+yan closed his eyes. “I don't think I have done anything that brings harm to the world. At most, I am forced to defend myself. In essence, I am not a bad person.”

“Hmph!” System Qian Qian's blue light flashed. “Master, you abduct children. Aren't you a bad person? You beat me, a lovely system, every day. Aren't you enough of a bad person?”

“You often trick me, so you obviously like messing with people. But you also have to place all the sins on me, yet I have no means of punis.h.i.+ng you.” Long s.h.i.+yan closed her eyes and said casually.

A bad person?

Long s.h.i.+yan did not know whether she was one or not, but she was colder and more blood-thirsty than ordinary people. Of course, she naturally would not affect the lives of innocent civilians.

“What do you mean she seems to understand?” Long s.h.i.+yan's eyebrows raised, and she hastily opened her eyes.

System Qian Qian replied, “I don't know the specifics, but she already knows that you did not simply save her for the sake of saving her.”

“This is nonsense!” Long s.h.i.+yan glanced at it. “Speaking of issue, you taught her how to awaken, and you revealed that you were my companion. It would be a wonder if she didn't misunderstand.”

“Misunderstand? Fine!” System Qian Qian had no choice but to compromise. “We are temporarily putting aside the things regarding Zi Linglong. Now, what I am about to tell you is absolutely important news. This is even more important than the matter about Zi Linglong.”

“What's wrong?

“It's about the major event that happened while you were in a coma.” System Qian Qian paused and said, “The incident regarding your Long family had completely changed from the original plot. I don't know if I should tell you. "

Long s.h.i.+yan lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.

What happened to the Long family?—This was what the system wanted to tell her before being interrupted by Zi Linglong's entrance. At that time, she didn't think much about it, but now that the system mentioned it again, it was actually very important, which had caused her to be concerned about it.

As she wrinkled her eyebrows into a small frown, Long s.h.i.+yan said, “Just say it already, that girl will be coming back soon.”

System Qian Qian said, “Well, there's nothing to hide from you. On the night you were attacked, the Long family's ancestor, Long Zhentian, suddenly died.”

“Boom!”

As if she was. .h.i.t by the thunder, Long s.h.i.+yan's mind buzzed. How could she not be surprised? While her mind was numb, System Qian Qian landed the final blow on her heart.

“There was a lot of people in black attire attacking your Long family's household. The battle was extremely fierce. Long Batian and QingYu both died in battle. The Nangong Mei died to protect Long Pingtian. Then, almost everyone in the Long family died…” System Qian Qian continued to chatter on and on, but Long s.h.i.+yan was no longer listening.

Long Zhentian, Long Batian, and QingYu, her great grandfather and grandparents were dead. For the current Long s.h.i.+yan, this was undoubtedly bad news. After her parents died, she only wanted to protect her family. Her wish had always been to find a way to deal with the death of her original family.

But now…

“You, are you kidding me?” Long s.h.i.+yan clenched her fist under the blanket. She had a smile that wasn't a smile plastered on her face.

“Demon!” System Qian Qian screamed in its heart as it was intimidated by her. “I, of course, am not kidding. Do I really need to say these things to make some kind of morbid joke?”

System Qian Qian felt like a cold ice sword was inserted into its heart; its whole body seemed to have lost its vitality or be frozen in place. Time pa.s.sed, but it still felt as if it were dead.

“You, are you alright?” System Qian Qian carefully called out.

“Yes, I am fine.”

Surprisingly, Long s.h.i.+yan did not collapse, but she was very solemn. She weakly asked, “Are my great-grandfather and grandparents really dead?

“Uh…um.”

“Who died in our Long family? Who are still alive? Where did Long Aotian go? Who robbed our Long family? Everything must be clearly explained.” However, her heart has already fallen into the cold caves of Wannian1, already eroded by snow and ice.

System Qian Qian gave her an uneasy look; it was inexplicably scared. This was irrational. Although it was used to being threatened, it had never felt like this.

Furthermore, it couldn't die. What was there to be scared of?

Her body couldn't move, and her complexion was normal, but she had an inexplicable sense of oppression. She was neither angry nor furious. System Qian Qian couldn't detect what Long s.h.i.+yan was feeling.

“Your Long family only has its younger generation left. Long Yuqing and you stayed in the secret residence of 'Yu Qingrou'. Long Pingtian and Long Aotian are still missing, and the others…were buried by the royal family.” System Qian Qian acted cautiously, making short glances at her.

“Who was the one who wiped out our Long family?”

System Qian Qian hesitated, but said, “I don't know who did it, but I suspect the imperial household and the Emperor.”

“Don't joke around.” Long s.h.i.+yan snorted. “The royals and the Emperor doesn't have the ability to uproot our Long family. If my grandfather and grandmother made a fit, then the entire capital would have been destroyed. Did they really dare to move us, the Long family?”

“In fact, I don't know much about it. This is what I have overheard from your aunt and Yu Qingrou. In order to figure out the real situation, I'll need to study further.” Long s.h.i.+yan bit her lips; her eyes were tearful. System Qian Qian did not dare to say anymore.

“Very few people in the royal family could ruin my family. Even the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt did not work.” When these words left her mouth, the tears in her eyes almost burst out.

“Then, who do you think…who do you think ma.s.sacred my family?” Long s.h.i.+yan quickly concealed her tears, closed her eyes, calmed her mood, and whispered her inquiries.

“I don't know who it was, but I can definitely confirm the intervention of Saints. Otherwise, your grandparents and great-grandfather wouldn't have died without causing a commotion.” System Qian Qian was filled with anger.

Saints, or this world's peak existences, were equivalent to humanoid nuclear bombs. If they became serious, then not a single person in this empire could defeat them.

Saints could fly directly into the palaces to kill people, and no one could stop them. Guards were all furnis.h.i.+ngs to them and as for the Saint Magicians, they could directly cast a spell upon the imperial city, then fly away without needing to see the after effects.

Sword Saints and Saint Magicians were the highest realms of swordsmen and magicians, belonging to the tenth-level Saint stage. In the book, Long Aotian was able to easily achieve this stage, but it wouldn't be so easy for anyone else.

Long s.h.i.+yan stretched out her left hand, staring at the platinum bracelet on her wrist. She said, “I remember that while Saints were strong, they had their own rules and constraints. They normally would not interfere with mortal customs, nor would they easily dispose of the important members of the country. No such thing happened in the original work. How could these rules be changed right away? Is this the true power of the b.u.t.terfly effect?”

System Qian Qian paused and became silent. After a while, it said, “I am also considering this issue. Even if it was the b.u.t.terfly effect, it requires a certain factor in order for such a major event to form. It is necessary to slowly find foreign interferences based on what happened in reality and the original story from the book.”

“I think I already have a general idea,” Long s.h.i.+yan suddenly said. “While Fengyun Empire had been here for more than hundreds of years, that still didn't give enough time to cultivate any Saints. Therefore, they could only recruit wild Saints. Unfortunately, no one did this in the original book. But because of me, the story had changed.”

“This is truly ridiculous. The b.u.t.terfly effect that hurt and killed my loved ones was caused by my own actions." Long s.h.i.+yan laughed.

“Hey, you shouldn't think that way.”

“Rest a.s.sured, I will not think about it anymore!”

“Step! Step! Step!” After listening to the hurried footsteps, Zi Linglong's pet.i.te body quickly greeted her, sitting silently on the edge of the bed.

“Linglong, you're back!” Long s.h.i.+yan blinked away her tears and smiled softly.
