I Am Actually the Main Villain in the Novel

Qin Yu had already conceded, but Liu Zongliang couldn’t accept this result.

He was about to succeed, but in the end, he was interrupted.

If it were someone else, he might have endured, but it just so happened to be Wei Changtian.

He just stood there, dumbfounded, before suddenly jumping up and wildly shouting, “This poem is nothing! It’s far from being as good as mine!”

“You guys say, isn’t that right!”

“Speak up!”

“…”

The extremely piercing howl echoed through the pavilion, as everyone present fell silent, gazing at Liu Zhongliang’s fiery passion. Some literary figures even revealed a hint of disdain on their faces.

Even the poetry saint’s disciple acknowledged being no match for him. What were you doing here, making a big fuss?

Although they didn’t dare to directly refute Liu Zhongliang, they could express their attitude through silence.

Just then, someone suddenly spoke up.

“Let’s leave it to Miss Liu to judge what’s good or not.”

“Agreed!”

Liu Zhongliang snapped out of his reverie.

It wasn’t about which poem was better; ultimately, it depended on whom Yang Liu poem was willing to choose.

He still had a chance!

“Miss Liu poem!”

Thinking of this, he hastily turned to Yang Liu poem, who was still standing in a daze, and anxiously asked, “Which poem do you think is better?”

“Huh?”

Yang Liu poem raised her head, still bewildered, and only came back to her senses at this moment.

Just from her reaction, the answer was already clear.

Everyone was waiting for Yang Liu poem to slap Liu Zhongliang in the face, but after a long pause, they got an unexpected response instead.

“Both poems are extremely well-written, and I couldn’t choose between them.”

“……”

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

Couldn’t choose? How was that possible?

Not to mention that Yang Liu poem was already a master of poetry; even an illiterate farmer’s wife would probably be able to sense that the second poem was better!

Ignoring the crowd’s astonished gazes, Yang Liu poem smiled and looked at Wei Changtian.

“Lord Wei, your poem is indeed excellent, and I almost cried just now.”

“But Qin Gongzi’s poem isn’t bad either… it’s hard to choose.”

????

You’re playing hard to get, aren’t you?

Let me show you how I do things.

Wei Changtian sneered inwardly, pointing at Liu Zhongliang and Qin Yu, and carelessly said:

“Hard to choose, huh? Fine.”

“If you choose their poem in the end, which one do you plan to sleep with tonight?”

“……”

Damn it!

As soon as these words left his mouth, the entire audience was stunned.

Could he really ask something like that?

No wonder he was Lord Wei, so bold!

The others were left speechless, and Yang Liu poem was also caught off guard by this question.

Having mixed with the entertainment circles for years, she had manipulated even high-ranking officials in the imperial court, but she had never seen anyone as unpredictable as Wei Changtian.

Tightly biting her lip, Yang Liu poem finally whispered a response after a long time: “Of course, it would be Lord Liu.”

“That’s fine.”

Wei Changtian nodded, his expression calm and collected.

However, in the next second, he suddenly and unexpectedly burst out, stomping his foot on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to Liu Zhongliang’s side.

Without any hesitation, he delivered a powerful kick directly to the latter’s chest.

“Boom!!”

A dull thud sounded, and a group of people watched in shock as Liu Zhongliang, who was completely unprepared, spat out blood and flew backward, crashing through the window with a “splash” into the river below.

“Whoosh~”

A piece of broken wood from the windowsill fell to the ground, and then there was complete silence.

Everything had happened too quickly, too unexpectedly.

It wasn’t until five breaths later that the first scream finally rang out, and the entire boat was thrown into chaos.

The Liu family’s servants were wailing and scrambling to rescue people, while the maids and servant girls were screaming and hiding in the corners. The other young masters also retreated in fear, creating a vacuum around Wei Changtian.

“Now…”

Wei Changtian gazed indifferently at the chaos around him, only turning to look at Yang Liushi, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and said calmly:

“It’s not a big deal, is it?”

……

……

In the spacious and luxurious bedroom, a misty vapor lingered.

In the large wooden tub that could fit two people, Yang Liushi was laughing and poking her head out, with a few water droplets on her neck.

“Master, won’t you join me?”

“……”

Sitting at the desk, Wei Changtian glanced over, struggling to suppress the heat in his heart, repeatedly reminding himself that it wasn’t the right time yet.

“Hehehe, since Master doesn’t want to come, I’ll go to you instead.”

“Whoosh~”

The beauty emerged from her bath, her slender figure hidden behind a thin veil.

Yang Liushi walked to the desk with a smile, her bare feet making no sound, and gently placed her hand on Wei Changtian’s chest.

The warm and humid air tickled his ear, making him feel a bit itchy.

“Master, do you think I’m beautiful?”

“……”

Looking at the towering peaks and valleys right in front of him, Wei Changtian felt a surge of dizziness, and his eyes began to glaze over.

But just then, a cold and piercing sensation suddenly spread from his waist.

Ah!

He almost fell for it!

Luckily, he had obtained the Clear Heart Jade from Wei Xianzhi, which could dispel illusions!

He let out a sigh of relief, and the dazed look in his eyes slowly turned into a playful one.

Wei Changtian paused, then leaned in close to Yang Liushi’s ear, whispering in response:

“Do you think I’m handsome?”

“……”

The delicate body in his arms suddenly stiffened, and Yang Liushi’s face was filled with disbelief.

“Enough, don’t bother trying.”

Wei Changtian pushed her away, saying with a smile: “You’ve used this trick to deceive how many people already.”

“My, my lord doesn’t understand what I’m saying…”

“Don’t pretend anymore.”

Wei Changtian curled his lips, and his next words directly stirred up a storm in Yang Liushi’s heart.

“I not only know you can perform illusions, but I also know you’re actually a fox spirit, and that you infiltrated the capital to rescue the son of the Demon King from the Demon Prison.”

“Am I right?”

Looking at Yang Liushi’s pale face, but still reaching for the table, Wei Changtian didn’t even flinch.

“I advise you not to have any ill intentions.”

“Right now, all the people outside are mine, and killing a small demon like you with less than 50 years of cultivation would be a piece of cake.”

“……”

The motion of drawing her sword stopped, and Yang Liushi looked at Wei Changtian with some fear, her mind filled with only one thought.

It seemed like she had no secrets in front of this man.

“You don’t need to ask how I know all this; I definitely won’t tell you.”

On the other hand, Wei Changtian secretly gripped a copper whistle, his tone extremely relaxed: “I actually came today to discuss a cooperation with you.”

Yang Liushi was taken aback: “Cooperation?”

“That’s right, cooperation.”

Wei Changtian nodded: “You know my identity, so you must understand my position in the Suspended Mirror Agency. At the very least, my words carry more weight than those officials you’re familiar with.”

“I’ll help you rescue that Demon King’s son within a year, but you’ll also need to help me with a few small favors.”

“We’ll both get what we want, and everyone will be happy.”

“What do you say?”

“……”

After Wei Changtian finished speaking, he waited for a response.

But this time, Yang Liushi’s reaction was somewhat unexpected.

She looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and then softly said: “Mr. Wei, a few days ago, a Xiao Gongzi found me and said almost the same thing.”

What the hell?

Xiao Feng?

Wei Changtian’s pupils suddenly contracted, and countless questions rushed into his mind.

But he quickly regained his composure.

These could be thought about later; the most important thing now was how to handle Yang Liushi.

Kill her? Or spare her?

Wait a minute!

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind and quickly expanded into a rough plan.

A plan to kill Xiao Feng!

Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian immediately calmed himself down, looked up at Yang Liushi, and said:

“I don’t know what he specifically said to you or if you agreed to his proposal.”

“But there’s one thing I’m definitely different from him.”

“That is, if you don’t agree to cooperate with me…”

His body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes turned cold: “I definitely won’t let you live through the night like that Xiao Gongzi!”
