Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

At the same time, three people called out to Bai Weiran to wait.

One was Wu Ji, who was on the verge of failure.

One was Qin Ning, whose face was solemn and dignified.

And there's another unexpected one—Guoguo.

Guoguo announced that this palace intrigue has come to an end.

The ailing emperor is gone, and the prince played by Ah Chao is about to ascend the throne—since the emperor is gone, there's no longer any concubines to compete for the empress title, and the palace intrigue drama comes to an end.

Bai Weiran and Wu Ji then realized that Guoguo and Achao were a combination of third-party forces.

In the story, Ah Chao is a seemingly weak but actually cunning prince. Guo Guo's family is wealthy, being imperial merchants. They want to go further and gain power. Guo Guo's family tries every means to send their daughter to the palace for the imperial concubine selection and spends a lot of money to bribe their way into being chosen. But unfortunately, the concubine played by Guo Guo is of average appearance and is silently lost in the fiercely competitive harem, and is not favored.

But Guoguo's character did not accept her fate because of this. She has a strong grassroots spirit and a businessman's shrewdness, and she can smell unusual business opportunities.

Instead of betting on the imperial concubine or the concubine with a child, she chose the prince played by Ah Chao.

Because no matter which concubine's camp you join, even if she wins, you will always be just concubines.

If we lose, our entire family will be executed.

With only the options of minor or crushing defeat, Shen Jingbing might as well surrender to a wise ruler.

Guoguo's character secretly pledges allegiance to the prince and, together with her maternal family, becomes the prince's moneybag, representing a hidden third-party force in this drama.

From the very beginning, she had a vast amount of money that no one else could match. Guoguo herself received double rewards for every side quest she completed. She used her financial power to bribe many NPCs and obtain the secrets of many characters present. Yes, she even knew about the affair between the eunuch and the imperial concubine earlier than Wu Ji.

Guoguo had grasped everyone's secret, and while Bai and Wu were trying to undermine each other, she also managed to undermine Bai and Wu's camp—achieving a great victory.

Before Bai Weiran and Wu Ji's astonished expressions, Guoguo sat on the chaise lounge, one arm around Qin Ning, imitating a playboy, exuding a dashing and debonair air.

"Even the Imperial Concubine has been won over by me, ho ho ho ho, men! They're nothing but scum!"

Bai Weiran then realized that Qin Ning's hidden agent was able to detect the prince's conspiracy.

The emperor, who is merely a background character, has been ill for a long time. Everyone in the palace is speculating that Bai Weiran or Wu Ji poisoned him. There are many different opinions and rumors. However, Bai Weiran, after reading his own character's story, knows that he did not poison the emperor. Therefore, he is convinced that Wu Ji poisoned him. Wu Ji, after reading his own character's story, also knows that he did not poison the emperor. He also believes that Bai Weiran poisoned him.

However, because there were no side quests to continue this story, Bai Weiran and Wu Ji focused too much on each other, thinking that this was just a background story.

As a result, they lost more than they gained by trying to save a small gain.

The one who poisoned the king was a prince. He wanted to ascend the throne because he couldn't stand his brother's tyranny over the years and he was also afraid of his own precarious life.

Guoguo had always been a hidden pawn in the palace, supporting the prince.

As one of only two favored concubines who could get close to the ailing emperor, Qin Ning learned from the eunuchs attending the emperor that the prince and Guo Guo had been acting strangely. Her personal storyline, along with that of another concubine, allowed her to discover the true nature of a third-party force.

Unfortunately, the concubine Wu Ji supported was not very clever. She had little experience with palace intrigue and ignored obvious clues, which prevented Wu Ji from obtaining information from third parties.

It's true what they say: you're not afraid of god-like opponents, but you're afraid of pig-like teammates.

Bai Weiran did not receive it either.

Although Qin Ning knew, she did not tell Bai Weiran.

Qin Ning summoned Guo Guo without Bai Weiran's knowledge and took the initiative to express her desire to form an alliance with Guo Guo, thus joining the third-party camp.

Bai Weiran and Wu Ji were still having a good fight, but in fact, the ending had already been secretly decided by the two women.

Qin Ning sat down next to Guo Guo, her eyes darkening as she looked at Bai Weiran's surprised gaze. She lowered her head and smiled, pursing her lips.

Guoguo continued to mock Bai Weiran and Wu Ji without mercy.

"That's the true value of copywriting, you know?!"

Wu Ji and Bai Weiran were both making judgments based on the game mechanics, and by following the clues, they did indeed deduce a lot of truths, but they forgot that live-action interactive theater is actually based on emotions.

Guoguo is a screenwriter, and this is a special performance where Guoguo herself gets a boost.

Besides obtaining the secrets of many characters by bribing NPCs, because the secrets of the characters are often interconnected, one link after another, Guoguo can even unfold and restore all the characters by using the character puzzle method—from the characters played by the player to the real NPCs, and the true background and secrets of all of them.

It's no exaggeration to say that all the actors came out to applaud when Ah Chao ascended the throne.

This applause is for Guoguo.

Staff members said that in order to ensure playability and diversity, this palace intrigue theater actually has a huge number of plot branches and rich character storylines. Generally speaking, it is already quite a lot if you can play through 30% of the plot in one session. However, Guoguo was able to deduce the background stories of all the characters in a normal session, which was simply amazing.

He even added Guoguo on WeChat on the spot, expressing his lack of good screenwriters and his sincere welcome for Guoguo to join him.

Guoguo was very happy to receive such high praise and said she hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Bai Weiran was speechless, completely oblivious to the presence of others.

...I am your boss, after all. If you want to switch jobs, can you at least not say it in front of me?

But then he glanced at the smiling Qin Ning and decided against it.

The boss didn't say a word, so why should I, a father-in-law, worry about it?

After realizing what had happened, Wu Ji let out a loud sigh and hooked his arm around Bai Weiran's neck.

"In the end, we all lost, Young Master Bai. Reason lost to emotion. What does this prove? It proves that no matter how much logic and dialectics we can use, we cannot predict the urge to act on emotions!"

Bai Weiran nodded with a smile.

That's true.

These theaters have designated time for taking photos, and after the show, everyone gets really into taking pictures.

The most popular object was undoubtedly the beautiful imperial concubine.

The second most popular character is the dashing, debonair, gray-haired powerful minister.

The third-ranked emperor is the androgynous new emperor, Achao.

The fourth position should have been contested between Bai Weiran and Guoguo, but Guoguo's final highlight performance swept everyone away, causing Bai Weiran's popularity to plummet and leaving the place deserted.

They only see the bustling activity at others' gates, while their own gates are deserted.

He didn't mind, and Bai Weiran didn't like taking pictures either. After playing for nearly three hours, he was tired, so he simply found a quiet room to sit down.

This was one of the concubines' rooms, smaller than Qin Ning's Noble Consort's private room, but it had a bed, a table, and an octagonal display cabinet. Bai Weiran approached the octagonal display cabinet to take a look, and curiously reached out to pick up a jade ruyi—it didn't move at all, obviously nailed to the shelf.

He had just withdrawn his hand when he heard the door behind him creak open.

He turned around and smiled.

"Why did the big star suddenly appear on his own?"

The imperial concubine turned her back and closed the door, still smiling at him.

"Isn't this my childhood sweetheart, my beloved Weiran brother, who has come to find me?"

Bai Weiran: ...?

They were still acting even after the show had ended; I didn't expect Qin Ning to be so immersed in the role.

She strolled over leisurely in her court shoes, tilting her head, her demeanor less dignified and more alluring, poking his heart with a finger in a soft, coquettish tone.

"Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, we can be together forever. Brother Weiran, this is just right, there's a bed here."

Bai Weiran could only raise his hands in surrender.

“…Your Highness, I am a eunuch, and though my heart is willing, my strength is insufficient.” He paused.

Qin Ning gave an "oh," and moved her index finger upwards, using a slow, languid, and seductive motion from his heart to his throat, lingering on that vulnerable and fatal spot for a few seconds, before moving upwards again to lightly touch Bai Weiran's lips, soft and slightly cool at the fingertips.

"It's okay, I can find a way myself." She smiled.

"I'll eventually get Weiran-gege."

Bai Weiran shrugged helplessly.

He discovered that the yandere girl had no shame when she fell in love with someone. She could always shamelessly seduce and flirt. To outsiders, it sounded like she was a seasoned pro, but in reality, despite her impressive performance, her record was 0-5. To put it bluntly, she had no experience in that area.

Perhaps it is because of inexperience that one can speak so arrogantly; a newborn calf, an inexperienced young girl, has the strongest delusions.

"I didn't expect you to team up with Guoguo. Well done." He changed the subject, trying to distract her, and took the opportunity to step aside, creating a more intimate distance.

But Qin Ning pressed her advantage, getting closer and closer, ultimately cornering him in the corner between the display cabinet and the bed frame.

In the darkness, there was a faint light in her eyes.

Are you surprised, Brother Weiran?

"...Yes, a little."

He always thought that yanderes were selfish and lacked teamwork.

Qin Ning chuckled softly and gently, and Bai Weiran felt as if a kitten's tail was tickling his heart, making him feel a slight itch.

"If I want something, I will get it, no matter what means I have to use."

"What does cooperation matter compared to not being able to obtain it?"

Bai Weiran frowned.

He began to notice the problem of data loss during cross-server communication.

Qin Ning didn't seem to be talking about this, but when he pressed her for details, she gave him a sly answer.

"What good would becoming empress do? It would only push me further away from Brother Weiran. I want the opportunity to be with Brother Weiran openly and honestly—that's why I choose to cooperate."

What he said was impeccable, but Bai Weiran still felt that something was wrong.

Before he could think it through, Qin Ning threw herself into his arms again, holding him tightly, pressing her face against his left chest, listening to his heartbeat, and sighing contentedly.

"You can't die, Brother Weiran."

"Even in a game, I won't accept it."

"Never again!"

“If you really drink poison and die, I will fire them all.”

"In real life, if you dare to die, I will—"

She spoke the last few words very softly, but Bai Weiran heard them clearly.

Bai Weiran: ...Thanks for the invitation, back to the yandere version.

Guoguo outside is calling for everyone to gather.

Qin Ning raised her head, resting her chin on his chest, her face innocent and naive.
