It's Actually Not Easy Wanting to be a Supporting Male Lead

Sui Yuan, whose established role as gong in the online forums was ineffably counterattacked, felt extremely resentful. Therefore, after considering the strength of his foe and himself, and realizing that he couldn’t get anything out of provoking Zhao Xihe, he decisively changed targets and took out his anger on someone else.

Looking at the mood of the new posts from the gong-shou thread, it looked like eight to nine out of ten posts were from those little kids from {Heaven’s Alliance} who were helping the enemy instead of helping their team members. Therefore, it was understandable when Sui Yuan, while supporting his still limp and pained waist, logged on and cold-heartedly tossed around the members of his guild, who were merrily jumping around, one after another.

Unfortunately, even if these ’trash’ were beaten up until they were wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, these monkeys were completely unaware that they were being admonished and continued to happily spread the word—the matter of whether or not he was the ’shou’—as they teased their family’s Cute Leader, poking at his sore spot. After Sui Yuan flew into a rage out of humiliation, the members simply could not look any happier at his misfortune. That is, until the Guild Leader’s wife, who they had all selectively ignored, made an appearance. Everyone came to a sudden realization and fell silent out of fear.

【Hua Xinlei】：How did that thread on the forums come about? What were you doing, going to that kind of lover’s dating holy ground with Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves?

His tone seemed exceedingly normal at first glance. However, because it was so normal, without his usual soft, cute flavour, it made people feel especially apprehensive.

Sui Yuan unconsciously turned his head to look at Zhao Xihe who was sitting not far from him. He didn’t understand why he had suddenly and inexplicably decided to cause trouble, raising such difficult-to-answer questions for him. It was only if he understood his teammate’s thinking that he could cooperate with him, no?

Feeling Sui Yuan’s gaze, Zhao Xihe sent him a smile and relaxedly said, "I’m planning on looking for an opportunity to kill off Hua Xinlei."

"Why?" Sui Yuan completely did not understand his family’s partner thoughts. It was as difficult as trying to find a needle in a haystack.

"First of all, it will settle that Hua Xinlei x Wind-Like High Official CP. Secondly..." Zhao Xihe yawned, looking bored to death, "I’m tired of playing Hua Xinlei."

Sui Yuan：".................."

——Sui Yuan did not know how to criticize this free-spirited b*stard who just does as he pleases!

"However, if we lost Hua Xinlei, how can we force the protagonist shou and gong together?" Sui Yuan didn’t care about [Hua Xinlei]. He only cared about the collapsing plot.

"Did you think that if Hua Xinlei continued to act like this, Wind-Like High Official and Lone Wind Wan Yi would eventually get together?" Zhao Xihe smirked, "Don’t forget just who Lone Wind Wan Yi is stuck to these days, or how Wind-Like High Official has continuously been prancing around with Hua Xinlei, mutually loving and mutually trying to kill each other, OK?"

Sui Yuan silently felt his scalp go numb.

"I’ve already tried my best, Hua Xinlei can’t force Wind-Like High Official too hard, in case he really leaves the game. In that case, the plot will be completely irredeemable. However, if we don’t act vigorously enough and maintain the current situation, it couldn’t be that you plan to let Hua Xinlei and Wind-Like High Official love and kill each other until the end?" Zhao Xihe looked at Sui Yuan, hating iron for not becoming steel, "Why don’t you return the protagonist gong at once, ah!"

Sui Yuan：".................."

——I also want to, ah. QAQ But no matter how much I try, I can’t. What to do?!

"In order to settle the current issue, first, I plan to immediately get rid of unnecessary people. Then, turn the protagonist gong and shou into a pair," Zhao Xihe said, making the final decision.

"...Do you have a plan?" As the main offender who had caused the plot to collapse, Sui Yuan actually had no right to refute.

"I do," Zhao Xihe nodded decisively.

Thus, Sui Yuan surrendered....

While enduring Zhao Xihe’s mental pressure, Sui Yuan did not fail to cooperate with his family’s wretched partner online.

【Disdaining the King of Hell】：Huahua, don’t come up with such crazy ideas. Elegant and Humble and I are just friends.

【Hua Xinlei】：Only friends? Hehe, would people who are ’just friends’ go play around in such a place? And take such ambiguous pictures?

【Disdaining the King of Hell】：Those screenshots weren’t taken by us. It was a player who was passing by.

【Hua Xinlei】：It’s because it was like that I find it unbearable, OK? A passerby who randomly came across you guys could take such a picture, who knows just what you guys get up to where no one can see!

Even though they had discussed that [Hua Xinlei] had to be disposed of, Sui Yuan completely had no way to cope with Zhao Xihe’s sudden revolt and deliberate provocation. He had no choice but to cast his gaze onto him again, begging him for help, hoping to get a hint. It was just a pity that Zhao Xihe merely raised his brow and smiled lightly. With a leisurely and carefree gaze, he looked at how Sui Yuan was at a loss and suffering. He simply needed a spanking.

Sui Yuan：".................."

——My hand’s really itching to do it!

【Disdaining the King of Hell】：Huahua, you’re thinking too much. We were just bored and playing around. The only thing the photos prove is that the screenshot poster is rather skilled with Photoshop.

【Hua Xinlei】：Hehe, playing around together because you were bored? When have you ever played like that with me? How long has it been since we played together, just the two of us? Answer me!

The Guild Leader and his wife were quarrelling. As the fuse that ignited this, all the members of the guild silently lurked. Very quickly however, the situation was becoming a bit uncontrollable. One member, who had hopped around the most happily, could not bear his guilty conscience and timidly spoke up.

【Heaven’s Alliance Guild Member A】：That...Guild Leader’s Wife, don’t say that. Guild Leader and Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves aren’t usually together. He usually PKs with Great God Wan Yi....

Once he saw this, Sui Yuan’s heart immediately went ’thump’ and inwardly thought that pig teammates were indeed pig teammates. To unexpectedly tread on Zhao Xihe’s mine—this fellow had already been discontent about the ’extremely intimate relationship’ between himself and [Lone Wind Wan Yi] for a long time!

As expected, when Sui Yuan looked in Zhao Xihe’s direction again, he saw that his originally relaxed expression had gained a tint of jealousy and he looked to be in a bad mood.

【Hua Xinlei】：Hehe, so it turns out there’s Lone Wind Wan Yi, huh?

Sui Yuan who was "hehe’d" at immediately felt the pain in his lower back intensify. His brain fell into disorder and his hand felt a bit uncontrollable.

【Disdaining the King of Hell】：Whose fault is that? Whenever you log on, you immediately run over to look for Wind-Like High Official. I can’t even catch sight of your shadow!

【Hua Xinlei】：What? Are you unhappy that I keep looking to make trouble for WInd-Like High Official and want to stick up for him?!

【Disdaining the King of Hell】：Those two things have nothing to do with one another! I’m just judging the matter as it stands. Moreover, don’t you think that your logic is really in disorder?!

On one side, he was righteous typing out resounding, powerful words. On the other, he was peeping at Zhao Xihe’s expression, afraid that that fellow would blacken and do tyrannical and abusive things again. Sui Yuan felt that acting out two different personalities made his heart very tired....

【Hua Xinlei】：My logic is in disorder?! I don’t think so! All I know is that you’ve set your heart on someone else and that I feel neglected!

【Disdaining the King of Hell】：Huahua, you’re getting too emotional. Calm down. We need to have a good talk.

【Hua Xinlei】：There’s nothing to discuss! Goodbye!

【Guild Elder -Hua Xinlei- is offline】

The guild chat fell silent. Even after several minutes had passed, no one dared to say a word.

Ultimately, it was [Disdaining the King of Hell] who made a brief concluding remark after a long period of time, full of exhaustion that made people’s heart palpitate.

【Disdaining the King of Hell】：Alright. Everyone, get lost. Do what you need to do.

【Heaven’s Alliance Guild Member B】：...Guild Leader, Huahua, she....

【Disdaining the King of Hell】：Don’t mind it. I’ll get in touch with her. She’ll come back once her anger’s disappeared.

——However, the members of {Heaven’s Alliance} didn’t see [Hua Xinlei] come online again. This was because, while they were all scared witless, restless, and endlessly concerned, the account’s owner had already sent it to the recycling bin, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. He didn’t plan to bring it back nor use it for the rest of his life.

After the gossip about [Disdaining the King of Hell] and [Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves]’s gay love passed, a new HOT thread popped up in the forums. It elaborated exhaustively about how {Heaven’s Alliance}’s Guild Leader’s Wife had gotten a bellyful of the [Disdaining the King of Hell] and [Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves] CP, and how she had gotten jealous over [Lone Wind Wan Yi] and [Wind-Like High Official] before angrily running away from the game, yet to return. The spectating masses either didn’t understand [Hua Xinlei]’s actions and found her actions to be ineffable and deliberately provocative, or they criticized [Disdaining the King of Hell] who was so scummy he shocked to tears all the supernatural beings in heaven and earth. Who knew how many boats he was peddling. It could be said to be a fine example of a 21st Century stallion scum man—it was just that the scum’s targets were a bit amiss—they were all men....

Furthermore, the members of {Heaven’s Alliance} tried to ask their family’s Guild Leader about her in a roundabout way, but their guild leader either evaded the subject or fell into a depressed silence. Thus, they successively decided to never mention this matter again. After all, it was them who had joked around too excessively in the beginning so they had to carry a portion of the blame. Burdened with guilty consciences, they did not dare to provoke their family’s guild leader whose love had reached a tragic end.

When Lone Wind Wan Yi heard of this, he simply had no idea what kind of expression he should make. Heaven knew that he had been looking for [Disdaining the King of Hell] purely for PKing matters, that’s all! To suddenly be the cause of a CP break up, Lone Wind Wan Yi felt like his whole body had been pierced by arrows from head to toe. Crestfallen, he did not dare to openly and brazenly go bother [Disdaining the King of Hell] for two days.

——Yi? Wait a second, where did this guilty feeling come from?

As for [Wind-Like High Official], he felt much more complicated. He felt a bit happy, like his anger had been vented a bit, a bit rejoiceful at their misfortune, yet also a bit conflicted, and a bit dumbfounded....

Because of [Hua Xinlei]’s persistent efforts to quarrel with him, in [Wind-Like High Official]’s heart, his hatred for him had already surpassed that of what he held for [Disdaining the King of Hell]—he had rose to the top position on his blacklist. This person who he abhorred so much and wanted to escape from had left the game for some inexplicable reason. [Wind-Like High Official] had never expected this kind of conclusion—he even felt a bit unadapted to this kind of peaceful game life.

As they said, if you became the mistress in someone else’s relationship, you’ll end up the one who gets cheated on. At that time, [Hua Xinlei] stole [Disdaining the King of Hell] from him. Now, his man was stolen by someone else. This was simply a clear manifestation of Heaven’s law—appropriate retribution. However, why was the people who stole [Hua Xinlei]’s man unexpectedly [Lone Wind Wan Yi] and [Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves]?!

[Wind-Like High Official] thought that this was simply extremely ridiculous!

He knew [Lone Wind Wan Yi] and [Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves]. It could be said that they were his most trusted friends in this game. To want to make [Wind-Like High Official] believe that these two people would steal another person’s man—and the man being that scum man [Disdaining the King of Hell]— you’d be better off trying to trick him into believing that pigs could climb trees!

Thus, even though [Wind-Like High Official] thought that [Disdaining the King of Hell] was an incorrigible scum, he could not help but think that [Hua Xinlei] had been unreasonable in his jealousy.

Therefore, he told his thoughts about this joke of a matter to [Lone Wind Wan Yi] and [Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves].

【Lone Wind Wan Yi】：Hehe, indeed it’s quite baffling....

I don’t have a guilty conscience at all! At all!

【Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves】：Actually...it’s not actually inexplicable.

【Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves】：I didn’t dare say it before because of Hua Xinlei but I indeed like Disdaining the King of Hell. I really like him.

【Wind-Like High Official】：..................

【Lone Wind Wan Yi】：......！！！！

【Elegant and Humble Autumn Leaves】：Not only that but, since Hua Xinlei has taken the initiative to give up, I feel that I now have a chance and want to give it a try.

Lone Wind Wan Yi & Wind-Like High Official：=囗=

——W-wait a second! We must be going blind, or we are sleep deprived! Our three views have all been toppled, OK?! What happened to being good brothers for the rest of our lives, huh?! Is there really no problem with coming out of the closet so casually?!

Eve: ONE. MORE. CHAPTER. I’m done with this arc’s ridiculously long names....sob....

Wuxian: I feel you... ;-;
