I am the villain in the book

#934 - My husband, you are so awesome!

On the other side, at the Guanyue Inn.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Just as Zhi Li was about to "sacrifice herself" and plead for Xu Quan, Wei Changtian had just closed the system interface in his mind, shaking his head as he looked at the purple fruit in his hand.

Obviously, he couldn't find an "identical model" in the system.

Of course, this doesn't mean that this thing isn't for sale in the system, maybe it's just because the name is wrong.

After all, Zhi Li probably came up with the name "Sacred Fruit" herself, and the true name of this fruit shouldn't be so "straightforward."

However, although he didn't find a system introduction, Wei Changtian knew that the thing in his hand shouldn't be ordinary.

Just one fruit allowed Xu Quan to break through from the sixth rank to the fifth rank. This effect alone is exaggerated enough.

What's more, according to Yang Liushi, this fruit has an even greater effect on demon beasts.

Otherwise, Zhi Li wouldn't value it so much.

"Send a message to ask Qingxian."

Turning his head to look at Yang Liushi, who was also holding a fruit and studying it carefully, Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Don't rush to eat it before you figure it out."

"Aiya, I know!"

Yang Liushi's face turned red, and she playfully hit Wei Changtian.

"You don't know that we demon clans value credit the most, so she definitely won't trust you anymore."

"What? Do you think I went too far?"

Wei Changtian looked back with a smile: "Then why didn't you advise me just now?"

"You already said it, how could I advise you?"

Yang Liushi muttered: "Besides, no matter what you do, I will definitely stand by your side."

"If I had advised you at that time, wouldn't I have let Zhi Li laugh at me?"

"Hahaha, you are biased."

Wei Changtian laughed twice, waved his hand and comforted: "Alright, she definitely won't leave."

"Ah? Why?"

Yang Liushi looked blank: "Could it be that she still wants to take the fruit back?"

"She's not that stupid."

Wei Changtian glanced out the window and casually gave the answer: "It's because of Xu Quan."

"Young Master Xu?"

Yang Liushi was completely confused this time: "What does this have to do with Young Master Xu?"

"I can't be sure, but..."

Wei Changtian picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, not continuing to speak, but suddenly shouted: "Zhang San!"

"Young Master, I'm here!"

Zhang San immediately pushed the door open and entered.

"Well, is Xu Quan in the inn now?"

"Young Master Xu left about a quarter of an hour ago, and didn't say where he was going."

Zhang San replied truthfully: "But I saw that he looked worried when he left, as if he had something on his mind."

"Okay, I know, you can go out."

"Yes!"

Coming and going in a hurry, Zhang San quickly pushed the door and left again.

And Wei Changtian also turned his gaze to Yang Liushi, and asked with a smile:

"Guess where Xu Quan went?"

"How would I know... Ah!"

Yang Liushi suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed in disbelief: "He wouldn't have gone to return the Sacred Fruit, would he?!"

"I guess so."

Wei Changtian drank a sip of tea with a relaxed expression, and there was no anger of betrayal on his face.

"He values promises very much. Since he had previously agreed to Zhi Li, then it is very likely that he would return the Sacred Fruit behind my back."

"Husband, then what are we still sitting here for?"

Yang Liushi was anxious when she heard this, and stood up abruptly and urged: "Hurry up and chase him back! Wouldn't the Sacred Fruit fall into Zhi Li's hands if we're late?!"

"Do you really think I want to be greedy for those few fruits?"

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes, thinking that Yang Liushi had been with him for a long time, and had become less "upright" than before, only thinking about taking advantage.

Could this be the effect of being influenced by one's surroundings?

"I was deliberately making things difficult for her."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian saw that Yang Liushi still looked puzzled, so he explained:

"If I really gave her the fruit, then how would she agree to help me deal with Jing Guoqing? She would definitely turn around and go back to Changliu Mountain."

"That's why I pretended to make things difficult for her, in order to give Xu Quan this opportunity."

"Think about it, Xu Quan is taking such a big risk to return the fruit to her, how could she not be moved?"

"Once she's moved, how could she watch Xu Quan suffer because of this? She will most likely come back to plead for Xu Quan."

"At that time, if I ask her to do anything, can she still refuse?"

"..."

After explaining his motives in a few words, Wei Changtian stopped talking.

But Yang Liushi was dumbfounded.

Is this okay?

Can you calculate others like this?

"But, what if Xu Quan doesn't return the Sacred Fruit?"

Looking at Wei Changtian who was calmly drinking tea, she quickly asked:

"Wouldn't that be an enmity with Zhi Li?"

"If there's an enmity, then there's an enmity, she can't do anything to us anyway."

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Besides, if Xu Quan doesn't return it, then we'll have three more fruits for nothing, and we won't lose out."

"..."

If Xu Quan returns the fruit, he can move Zhi Li with it, and then use Xu Quan to "force" Zhi Li to work for him.

If Xu Quan doesn't return it, then he will get three more Sacred Fruits.

As Wei Changtian said, it seems that no matter which situation, he really doesn't lose out.

More importantly, these three fruits were originally going to be returned to Zhi Li.

Turning a "matter of course" into a kind of "bestowal", Wei Changtian's wave of "I've tricked you, but you still have to thank me" operation directly refreshed Yang Liushi's understanding of the word "shameless."

But of course she wouldn't think that Wei Changtian was shameless.

If she really had any thoughts on this...

"Husband, you are so amazing!"

Blinking her eyes, Yang Liushi's praise came from the bottom of her heart, and her tone was not much different from when she did that kind of thing.

But Wei Changtian waved his hand indifferently and smiled smugly:

"Basic operation only."

"Basic operation?"

"Uh, it means basic operation."

"What is basic operation?"

"This..."

Wei Changtian paused, wondering how to explain it to Yang Liushi.

But before he could think of a good way, Zhang San's voice came from outside the house first.
