The Villain Is Too Beautiful Chapter 9

Chapter 9 : Truth and False Mixed Together

Xu Xing Zhi was stunned and touched the side of his face. He couldn't help laughing. He flicked Zhong Guang's head: “Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”

Zhong Guang was flicked a step back, touching his forehead and looking pitifully at Xu Xing Zhi: “…”

Looking at him like this, Xu Xing Zhi suspected that he had used too much strength: “Does it hurts?”

“En.” Tears loomed and swirled in Zhong Guang's eyes, and his mouth perked up really high: "…It hurts."

Jiu Zhi Deng who was not far away frowned slightly.

Xu Xing Zhi crossed his arms and looked at the child who might cry at any time. He had a dull headache coming: “You are a man, don't make such an appearance.”

Zhong Guand didn't seemed to understand, as if there was a thousand bright pearls hidden in his eyes, making it misty: “…”

The child's skin was like tofu. It turned red after a little flick. It looked really serious.

Xu Xing Zhi was helpless. He bent down and blew his breath at the red spot, then he pushed his head and pushed him to Jiu Zhi Deng : “…Don't be coquettish, there is no next time.”

With tears in his eyes, Zhong Guang returned with a sweet smile and said, “Yes, Senior Brother Xu.”

..d.a.m.n, he is really cute.

Xu Xing Zhi turned around and thought as he walked, since his name was fixed, what surname should he have?

He picked him up by himself, so call him Xu?

No, if he was surnamed Xu, his Elder Brother would certainly disagree.

After thinking about it, Xu Xing Zhi inwardly decided.

…It better if he just go back and flip the book of surnames. Close his eyes and whichever he circled will be his surname.

Having just made up his mind, Xu Xing Zhi saw Zhou Bei Nan stepping out of a bright door with a steel handle on his back.

As soon as he landed, he saw Xu Xing Zhi. Zhou Bei Nan silently rolled his eyes and entered the spiritual palace.

Xu Xing Zhi held the folding fan in his hand and opened his arms as he walked. He smiled and said, “Look, who's back here?”

Zhou Beinan scorned: “…Why do you walk like this, so improper."

Xu Xu Xing staggered over and said, “Even if I'm rolling, the disciples here will still have to call me Senior Brother Xu?”

Zhou Bei Nan: “… Haha. “

Xu Xing Zhi did not shy away from it. He went up to hook up Zhou Bei Nan's shoulder and tapped him on the chest with his fan handle. “Why, do you still remembered the enmity of the last Heaven Rank match?” I say, how can you be so petty?"

Zhou Bei Nan let him hook on to him and coldly snorted, “An unequal contest brings no honor to the victor. You still dare to to mention it."

Xu Xing Zhi gave a happy 'Haha': “What is an unequal contest brings no honor to the victor?”

He swirled the folding fan on his hand and it turned into a sharp edged Yuchang dagger.

He turned the handle of the sword again and it changed into a spear carved with the head of a bronze snake.

Xu Xing Zhi's spear trickled around a few times before turning it back into the bamboo fracture fan.

“Aren't you proficient at spear fighting?” Xu Xing Zhi threw the fan up with his right hand and then catched it."…You actually lose to me. How embarra.s.sing."

Zhou Bei Nan could not restain his anger: “… Nonsense, didn't you say before the compet.i.tion that you wouldn't use this broken fan to play trick?"

“Oh my G.o.d.” Xu Xing Zhi opened his eyes wide. “We grew up together, you would actually believe in my words. Fatty Zhou, you are so cute.”

Zhou Bei Nan: “…”

Without saying a word, he pulled a spear from his back and stabbed it with a twist of his hand.

Among the flints, Xu Xing Zhi flashed, and the folding fan in his hand turned into a scissor. The scisssor caught Zhou Bei Nan's spear and raised the tip of the spear up high.

He laughed and said, “Careful. Xiao Bei Bei, I was wrong.”

Zhou Bei Nan just made a gesture of attacking, and when he listened to hm admitting defeat, he withdrew the offensive stance, but still refused to spare him in his words: “… How could Qing Jingjun take such a person as you to be the head disciple of Feng Ling?

Xu Xing Zhi boasted without shame: “Maybe I look too handsome."

Zhou Bei Nan: “…”

The pa.s.sing Qu Chi: "…"

Zhou Bei Nan turned to Qu Chi's direction: “…No, Qu Chi, don't you think he's particularly deserved to be beated up?

Qu Chi couldn't help laughing: “…Once in a while. “

Xu Xing Zhi changed the scissor back into his own fan: “…Bei Nan, that's your fault. This "Idle Pen" was made by myself, and Master allowed me to use it in the Heaven Rank conpet.i.tion. Losing to me is not embara.s.sing. It's true."

Zhou Bei Nan splashed cold water: “So what you had this broken fan, you were still hung up and beaten by Qu Chi?”

Xu Xing Zhi clicked his tongue, “What is "hung up and beaten"? I ended up just losing him by a little. Five years later at the heaven rank compet.i.tion, the top position will be mine. At that time, I will write the nine words “First of the Heaven Rank, Xu Xing Zhi of Fengling” on my fan surface…"

The voice was still in the air, and another door was open near the three men.

A wheelchair rocked in through the door and rolling over the jadeite bricks, making creaking sound.

A disciple of Qingliang Valley happened to pa.s.s by with the exanimnation papers in his arms. When he saw the man, he stood as silent as a cicada in winter and bowed down to greet him. “Greetings Senior Brother Wen.”

The visitor's blue clothes were as thin as cicadas and was wearing Thunderstrike wood loops.(1) When he heard the greeting, he did not lift his eyelids. He simply responded with a concise reply: “…Ok. “

He rocked the wheelchair straight to the front of the three men. “What are you doing again?”

Qu Chi held the duster in his hand and smiled: “Xing Zhi and Bei Nan are arguing again.”

Wen Xue Chen had very white skin, but it was a strange white, to the point that his lips had a vaguely cyanotic purple.

Therefore, his voice was very empty, a sense of weakness that fitted his pale complexion: “…Are both of you very bored? “

Xu Xing Zhi's b.u.t.t sat on the armrest of the wheelchair of Wen Xue Chen. “Just come back from being busy, now there's nothing to do. Not like we are breaking any rules because we are talking…”

That said, these beasts guarding sacrificial objects are becoming more and more uninteresting, each of them gets weaker."

Wen Chen Xue narrowed eyes glanced at him and said nothing.

“Now in my opinion, there are only two kinds of beasts in the world.” Xu Xing Zhi played with his fan and continued to boast, ” – soft persimmon that are easy to knead, and soft persimmon that are not easy to knead.”(2)

Zhou Bei Nan: "…"

Qu Chi: "…"

Wen Xue Chen lifted his chin: "Oh? Is It? Xu Xing Zhi is truly fearless."

Xu Xing Zhi opened his fan in a chic way and answered happily, “That's naturally…”

His glance turned and his breathing stopped.

Wen Xue Chen open his clasped hands from just now, inside lay a huge beetle, size as big as tadpoles, it was moving its antenna, crawling slowly in his palm.

Wen Xue Chen said, “Xing Zhi, this is Yaoguang Mountain's specialty. I think the shape is lovely, so Ibrought it to you to see.”

Xu Xing Zhi who was sitting on Wen Xue Chen's armrest turned rigid like a sculpture.

A moment later.

Zhong Gaung who had just changed clothes, and was seated on the steps swinging his legs heard a distant scream piercing the sky, followed by Zhou Bei Nan bursting into laughter without scruple.

His ears moved and he jumped down the steps. “Senior Brother Xu?!”

Jiu Zhi Deng wiped his swords calmly, with an indifferent face, and calmly said, “No need to go. Senior Brother should have saw the bug.”

Zhong Guang blinked and blinked: "Senior Brother is afraid of insects?"

From just now, Jiu Zhi Deng who had been silent and indifferent in expression, had a sight vigor when Xu Xing Zhi were mentioned : “… Every time near the Eastern Emperor Sacrifice Ritual , he would go to the five mountains he was responsible for half a month in advance. One is to explore the way for the partic.i.p.ants, and the other reasone is to use his spiritual energy to stun all the snakes, insects, mice and ants in the mountains for half a month. Otherwise, Senior Brother would not dare to step on the mountain in any case.”

The giant beetle that unexpectedly emerged from the palm of Wen Xue Chen shocked Xu Xing Zhi into a cold sweat. He felt that his head was heavy and his feet were light. He felt like he fell into a whirlpool all of the sudden. Under the huge suction, he got farther and farther away from the group of people.

Eventually, he tumbled down on a bed.

The moment he opened his eyes, Xu Xing Zhi's brain ached like it had exploded.

The aroma of the redwoods still remained in his nose, and he had already withdrawn from the memory of the original owner and returned to the tower in the wilderness.

… Meng Zhong Guang was not in the bedroom, but Zhou Bei Nan was at the bedside, bending over and tidying up Xu Xing Zhi's pillow.

When Xu Xing Zhi woke up, Zhou Bei Nan suddenly showed embarra.s.sment and pointed to the pillow and said, “… You sweated too much. I was changing the pillow for you.”

After explaining, he showed a delicate expression of “The f.u.c.k did i explained so much for”.

He couldn't stand it so he turned and walked out.

Xu Xing Zhi's brain was still confused, and he opened his mouth and cried, “Fatty Zhou.”

The Zhou Bei Nan who was already at the door abruptly stopped his pace.

This address seemed to kindle the repressed emotions in his heart. He turned around and hurried for several steps back to the bed, and shouted: “… Where have you been for thirteen years?! What on earth did you come into the wilderness for?"

He reached for Xu Xing Zhi's collar, but only caught air.

Zhou Bei Nan had been died many years ago and was a ghost servant under Lu Yu Jiu. Strictly speaking, he was no longer human. At most, he was a humanoid weapon under Lu Yu Jiu. He could only kill by using ghost weapon, he could not touch anyone except Lu Yu Jiu.

His translucent hands went straight through Xu Xing Zhi's body, but even so, he still clenched his fists as hard as he could.

He gritted his teeth and whispered, “Xu Xing Zhi, do you know I thought you were dead for many years…”

…Xu Xing Zhi actually heard a little sadness from his gnas.h.i.+ng teeth.

In Xu Xing Zhi's fragmented memory, the former owner and Zhou Bei Nan fight whenever they met each other. When they first saw each other in the wilderness, Zhou Bei Nan was ever more harsh towards Xu Xing Zhi. He never once gave Xu Xingzhi's face at all, so Xu Xing Zhi naturally thought that the relations.h.i.+p between the two men was similar to fire and water.

But in that whole memory, the relations.h.i.+p between them was obviously very good.

Xu Xing Zhi thought was rather chaotic at the moment. He supported his painful temper and pinched hard. Only then could he reluctantly calm down.

After stabilizing his mind, Xu Xing Zhi raised his head and opened his mouth to Zhou Bei Nan. "…Someone asked me to kill all of you.”

He admitted this so straightforwardly that Zhou Bei Nan was stunned.

After a while, he asked, “… Jiu Zhi Deng asked you to come?”

Xu Xing Zhi laughed bitterly and did not answer.

His currently appearance caused Zhou Bei Nan to be more sure of his judgment.

He sat down beside the bed and said, “He asked you to kill Meng Zhong Guang?”

Xu Xing Zhi nodded: “You should know. Zhong Guang will not be wary of me.”

Zhou Bei Nan showed a understood expression, and then he laughed angrily: “This little brat really want to kill us all.”

Xu Xing Zhi breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

… At last, it's over.

The original owner disappeared for thirteen consecutive years, but now he had replaced his ident.i.ty and suddenly appeared in the wilderness. This itself was too suspicious.

Xu Xing Zhi failed to kill Meng Zhong Guang in the first time. Therefore, if he wanted to stay with these people and find opportunities, he must find a decent reason to convince them to accept himself.

And the smartest lie was to mix the truth with the false, so that it will sound the most real.

As Xu Xing Zhi expected, Zhou Bei Nan believed his statement.

Zhou Bei Nan leaned forward and asked earnestly, “Does he know that we are about to find the wilderness 'key'?”
