Chapter 8 Queen Bee

Chapter 8 Queen Bee

Li Yue pretended not to notice the glares almost all of her female classmates were giving her. The robot was actually right; she is the second female lead! Just like the female lead, she is also smart, beautiful and talented. Of course, this will all change once she enters her blackened state.

'Hey robot'

'My name is not robot'

'The second female lead is supposed to support the male lead in becoming successful, no?'

'Not necessarily. But, she is supposed to love him. However, in the worlds that you previously visited, all of their second female leads became evil and assisted the villains in destroying the male leads. You need to stop this from happening again. To save every world, you have to stop the villain from killing the lead characters, rather than helping them do so.'

Li Yue lowered her gaze. So, all she needs to do is stop the villain from killing the male lead. She then recalled the original world's plot and remembered that Li Yue will help the male lead achieve success in high school by studying with him and doing all of his projects for him. This is because the male lead is a late bloomer whose genius genes will only shine in college, not in high school. Of course, it does have something to do with him being happy with the female lead.

'If I succeed in stopping the villain, what rewards will I get?'

'I would advise you against counting counting the eggs before the chicken lays them'

'Come on!'

'Rewards points… and a fraction of the memories from your previous life.'

"Memories from when I was still a human?' she asked.

For a few seconds, the robotic voice turned silent. 'Yes' it answered.

'Oh. And once I have points… I would have access to the system? I can buy something that I can use to cheat and survive in every world?'

Silence…

As usual, the voice did not reveal anything about the system. She rolled her eyes before she turned to look at the man who was sitting next to her. He stared back with a blank stare, his eyes devoid of any emotion. The small stubble on his face somehow made him look more mature.

"Is there something on my face?" he lifted an eyebrow. She shook her head in response before turning her attention towards the professor who had already started her lecture. Mo Li's cold, expressionless gaze did not bother her. After all, this man will soon become the CEO of cold attitudes and chilly gazes. She chuckled at her own thoughts.

Lunch break soon came and Li Yue immediately left to have some ramen. In the past few days, Li Yue seemed to become more familiar with the different flavours of ramen in the world she is currently residing in.

"Look! Isn't that Fake Phoenix Li?" The condescending voice made her freeze in place for a few seconds. She had been trying to avoid talking to anyone for the past few hours, hoping that they would somehow ignore her. She was wrong. As it turns out, trouble will also follow the second female lead so the —

"Stop it!" Xia Jin's voice thundered. As expected, the male lead really chose to help her. Li Yue looked at the latter who was approaching them, his grim face instantly turned gentle when he met her eyes. Li Yue, on the other hand, did not know whether to laugh or cry at the silly situation she was in.

First of all, she had already broken up with him so she could avoid the ire of the female lead. Secondly, she had stopped answering the latter's calls, hoping he would stop bothering her. Once again, she was proven wrong. Li Yue lifted her head to look at the heavens. Can't she just do something right? Can't they just give her something that will make her an overpowered second female lead? Why must the world be so unfair?

'Focus' the robotic voice snapped her out of her idle thoughts.

"Bullying someone? Really?" Xia Jin stood in front of him, trying to protect her from the people blocking her way. Xia Jin was not in the pilot section but he was very famous thanks to his reputation as an athlete.

"Xia Jin, why are you still protecting her? She is no longer a Li, ah." One of the girls uttered. "This woman had offended a lot of people in this school. We aren't the only ones she had offended in the past. I'm sure many others will approach her soon with the same intentions as we do. Do you think you can protect her by yourself?" the woman's voice permeated the corridor.

"She's right, Xia Jin. You really should stop doing this." Li Yue said, her tone full of mock. "We've already broken up. I'm no longer your fiancée. You really should focus on your— new fiancée."

"Yue— "

"She's right, Xia Jin. Why are you protecting a fake phoenix like her? Shouldn't you focus on your own fiancée?" another voice ridiculed. This made some students snicker. In really prestigious schools for the rich, someone like Xia Jin would not be considered important. However, Li Yue makes for a different story. She had practically offended half of the whole student population. This made her more famous than Xia Jin, her kind and gentle ex-fiancée.

"Yue…. "

Li Yue did not let him finish his words; she stepped out from behind him and continued walking forward. She then met the eyes of the woman who called her a fake phoenix earlier.

"What?" the woman asked, a smug smile stretched upon her face. "Are you going to look down on me and call me insignificant again?" She snorted. "Quit faking it, Li Yue… you have fallen from your grace. You're no longer the Li Family's heiress. Right now… you're nothing more than an insignificant bug."

Li Yue continued to stare at the woman, her face devoid of any expression. "Lu Xinyi from the Lu Family in the west." She uttered. Because of Li Yue's past actions and the influence of Li Family, she had been considered the queen bee of this school. Of course, this was also because she got the highest score and was the running candidate for class valedictorian.

The point is… being a queen bee had its own benefits. These benefits were the reason why her classmates did not really attack her earlier. How dare this mosquito, someone not even in the second section talk to her like this?

"Yes… so what?" the woman named Lu Xinyi asked. Her confidence began to wane in front of her overwhelming boldness.

"How is your brother?" she asked in a low voice. As expected, Lu Xinyi's face instantly paled. Her eyes widened as she stared at Li Yue's smiling face, as if she was the devil in disguise.
