Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 176 - 107: The Male Protagonist’s Revenge!

Chapter 176: Chapter 107: The Male Protagonist’s Revenge!
Such a curse that can directly mark the murderer, no matter who gets tainted by it, will be a nightmare that’s difficult to dispel!
"Benefactor, what is inside that bamboo tower?" the protagonist asked gravely.
The protagonist’s cultivation had not reached the sixth tier of the Divine Travel Realm, so he couldn’t use Divine Sense and couldn’t sense that far.
At his words, Chi Lian frowned and looked towards the bamboo tower.
Soon, she shook her head and said, "There’s nothing inside the bamboo tower!"
"Impossible!" the protagonist immediately denied.
The true dragon’s killing intent on the back of his hand was pointing directly at the bamboo tower before him.
As the protagonist looked around and sensed the eerie silence, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"There’s definitely something inside the bamboo tower!" the protagonist asserted.
Having said that, he asked Chi Lian, "Benefactor, could you please try attacking that bamboo tower?"
Chi Lian did not take action, but frowned at the protagonist, "Do you suspect there’s a trap here?"
The protagonist nodded, "I suspect we are trapped in some kind of maze array!"
He recalled his previous miserable experience of being suppressed by a maze array in the Monument Forest within the Great River Secret Realm.
Hearing the protagonist’s words, Chi Lian’s expression grew serious.
Maze arrays are invisible, making them near impossible to defend against.
If one doesn’t know the method to break the array, a single careless step can lead to great loss.
Chi Lian suddenly asked, "Do you know how to break the array?"
The protagonist remained silent.
He actually wanted to ask Chi Lian the same question.
It seems he doesn’t need to ask anymore.
The protagonist suddenly thought of Linglong.
Back in the Monument Forest, Linglong dismantled arrays as easily as drinking water.
If she were here, she could certainly break this maze array.
"Let’s take action and see!" the protagonist suggested.
He could accurately sense the murderer’s position; although he couldn’t break the array, he wouldn’t get lost in the Illusion Realm.
Chi Lian nodded.
She reached out and slapped a large rock by the roadside with force, causing a millstone-sized rock to smash towards the bamboo tower.
Bang!
The bamboo tower collapsed with a roar.
The protagonist was just about to sense whether the murderer had been crushed to death when suddenly everything went dark before his eyes. When light returned, he found himself back at the place where they had first come ashore.
Chi Lian’s face was grim, "It truly is a maze array!"
With that, she stepped forward, prepared to smash the bamboo tower again.
Chi Lian was a top expert of the Chi Lian Race.
Once one discipline is mastered, all methods become comprehensible.
Though she didn’t understand maze arrays, she was familiar with the basic logic of setting up arrays.
Maze arrays or Illusions, they all require certain specific items to function properly. The larger the illusion array, the greater the consumption.
For the array to keep functioning properly, consumables must be replaced regularly.
The Array of Protection in the Great River Secret Realm was maintained by the Dragon Race.
Chi Lian intended to smash the bamboo tower several more times, accelerating the array’s consumption, causing the maze array to break of its own accord.
This was the stupidest method, but also the simplest.
The only cost Chi Lian had to pay was a bit of time.
Fortunately, she had plenty of time!
Just as Chi Lian was about to leave, the protagonist stopped her directly.
"Benefactor, the position of the array eye has changed."
The protagonist pointed to the nearby tea stand and reminded, "The new array eye is that tea stand, could you please destroy the tea stand?"
"The location has changed?" Chi Lian’s face turned ugly.
Whoever set up this maze array is truly a master, able to change the array eye.
Fortunately, the protagonist saw through the opponent’s trick, otherwise, she would have been exhausted here today.
But in a way, this was good.
The more intricate the array, the more materials it consumes.
The fact that this maze array could change its array eye indicated that the setup was extremely complex.
If they kept disrupting it like this a bit more, perhaps they could soon break the array.
Having said that, she no longer hesitated and casually smashed another rock over.
Bang!
The tea stand turned into a pile of ruins.
In the next instant, the scene before the two changed again.
When their vision cleared, they found themselves in the thicket by the lakeside.
Seeing this, both Chi Lian and the protagonist’s expressions changed simultaneously.
Whether it’s a maze array or an Illusion Realm, they magnify existing things and can’t create a scene out of thin air.
The maze array had moved them to the opposite shore, meaning the other side had been observing them for some time.
Their expressions were extremely grim.
Especially Chi Lian.
She thought she had been very cautious while sneaking around, thinking she wouldn’t be discovered.
Yet, unexpected, she had been fooling herself all along, while the enemy had already taken in their every move.
"Damn it!"
Chi Lian’s face was icy as frost.
The opponent’s actions were undoubtedly a humiliation to her.
If it can be tolerated, what cannot?
Thinking about this, Chi Lian turned to look at the male protagonist and said coldly, "Where is the formation eye this time?"
The male protagonist pointed towards the watchtower on the island across.
The killing intent on the back of his hand guided him to that watchtower.
"The location this time is that watchtower."
After the male protagonist finished speaking, he reminded, "Benefactor, when you make your move, be careful. I feel like this isn’t just a simple maze formation."
Chi Lian ignored him.
Upon hearing that the formation eye was the watchtower across the water, Chi Lian didn’t think twice and flew straight over.
However, this time was different from before.
This time, Chi Lian didn’t even get the chance to destroy the watchtower. She only flew halfway, still above the lake, when the illusion of the maze formation suddenly changed.
"Not good!" The male protagonist exclaimed in his heart.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain.
The opponent did it on purpose, with the aim to separate her from Chi Lian!
Chi Lian also realized the problem.
When the illusion began to change, she started to retreat.
However, the illusion had already taken shape.
Before Chi Lian could return, the male protagonist’s eyes brightened, and the scenery around him changed once more.
He glanced around, his complexion suddenly changing.
This was no longer an isolated island; it was the West Mountain.
To be precise,
This should be the West Mountain Temple.
The male protagonist looked down, and in front of him was a pot of white porridge simmering away.
He held a wooden ladle in his hand, gently stirring it in the pot.
Looking at everything before him, the male protagonist’s expression changed, as all sorts of unpleasant past experiences once again surfaced in his mind.
If it weren’t for the true dragon’s killing intent on the back of his hand constantly locking onto a certain direction, reminding him that this was all fake, the male protagonist might have been tempted to start over from the beginning.
As he was pondering this, a waft of fragrance drifted in through the crescent moon gate of the small courtyard.
Then, a charming young woman walked in from outside the gate.
Behind her was an equally young maid.
The woman’s pace was swift, and the maid chased after her, shouting, "Miss, slow down a bit, wait for Little Cui."
Crack!
The male protagonist, watching the woman drawing closer, was so startled or perhaps angered that his fingers clenched unconsciously, snapping the wooden ladle in several places.
As everything reset, the male protagonist finally understood that Su Qianqian hadn’t accidentally taken the wrong path; she had directly aimed for the small courtyard where he was located.
No doubt about it!
Su Qianqian claimed she was hungry and wanted to ask the male protagonist for a bowl of porridge, which was clearly just an excuse.
Her intention from the beginning was to get close to the male protagonist!
"Why would she do this?" The male protagonist was confused.
He was a monk, after all.
And Su Qianqian already had a marriage engagement.
Her fiancé was none other than Great Xia’s Sixth Prince.
Why did Su Qianqian give up a life of luxury to trouble him, a poor monk?
No one provided the male protagonist with an answer.
As Su Qianqian drew nearer, the male protagonist’s expression turned uglier.
However, Su Qianqian seemed completely unaware.
Upon entering through the crescent moon gate, she abruptly stopped, her face displaying a facade of bewilderment and helplessness.
Then, she spotted the male protagonist preparing the porridge.
"Master, what place is this?" Su Qianqian asked, feigning panic.
Too fake!
The male protagonist watched Su Qianqian’s pretentious demeanor, thinking how all this time he’d been so blind to her deceit.
Did he go blind?
Su Qianqian’s acting was so terrible, yet he hadn’t noticed that she wasn’t genuine.
If he had noticed her disguise back then, he certainly would have kept his distance.
And none of those things would have happened later!
"This is my Zen courtyard!"
The male protagonist observed Su Qianqian carefully, catching a flash of amazement in her eyes.
His heart was growing increasingly irritated.
Without waiting for Su Qianqian to speak, he directly urged her to leave: "Benefactor, the back courtyard is a monk’s Zen room, not suitable for receiving female guests. Benefactor, please leave."
Su Qianqian acted as if she hadn’t heard, her eyes fixated on the male protagonist’s handsome face.
Her gaze lingered: "Little master, this believer is famished from the journey. Could you please grant me a bowl of porridge?"
Upon hearing this, the male protagonist’s lips twitched fiercely.
Is it porridge you want to drink?
I find it embarrassing to expose you!
Seeing Su Qianqian’s eyes locked on him, frustration rose within the male protagonist.
Suddenly, anger flared up within him.
The evil intention took hold.
The male protagonist picked up a ladle of porridge and flung it at Su Qianqian’s face.
"Eat, eat, eat, eat shit, you!"
