The Villain is Outrageously Beautiful

ing for the other to sit down, and just like that, the stranger sat down in a polite and proper manner with his gaze level and his back relaxed.
Xu Xingzhi felt that compared to the other person, his mannerisms were no different from a puddle of trampled mud.

But of course, he still had no intentions of mending his ways. 

Xu Xingzhi recalled the names that he had heard from Meng Chongguang yesterday and tried to match it up with the person before him: “Qu Chi?”

Obviously, Xu Xingzhi had luck on his side as he got it right on the first try.

 

The stranger gave him an amicable smile: “.
.
. En.”

Xu Xingzhi sighed. 

.
.
.
It really was him.

Qu Chi was gentle and refined; even his tone of speech was extremely warm, like it was filtered through a clear and rippling stream: “.
.
.
Chongguang told me to follow you and protect you well.”

Xu Xingzhi couldn’t conjure up any trickery in front of this person: “Many thanks.”

Qu Chi kindly pointed out: “Your sitting posture is inconsistent with etiquette.” 

Xu Xingzhi continued to slouch peacefully: “It’s more comfortable this way.”

He spoke with ease, but his gaze remained on Qu Chi.

Qu Chi naturally didn’t know what Xu Xingzhi was thinking.
He rifled through his own pockets a few times and politely offered: “.
.
.
Please help yourself to some candy.”

As he spoke, he opened up his palm towards Xu Xingzhi. 

There laid two pieces wrapped up in colorful glazed paper.

Xu Xingzhi took a piece, unwrapped the glazed paper, and found a small pebble the size of a fingernail lying inside of it.

Qu Chi enthusiastically recommended: “It’s delicious.”

Xu Xingzhi poured the pebble into his palm, considered it for a bit, and asked: “.
.
.
This is candy?” 

Qu Chi nodded and vowed: “Yes, I wanted to eat candy so Zhou Wang found this for me and told me that this is called candy.”

Xu Xingzhi fiddled with the little pebble and discovered that the pebble was washed extremely clean.

He confirmed with Qu Chi once again: “.
.
.
You don’t swallow the candy, right?”

Qu Chi replied obediently: “I don’t swallow it. A-Wang and Tao Xian won’t allow me to swallow it.
They said it’s not good to swallow candy.” 

Xu Xingzhi affirmed: “That’s right, you can’t swallow candy.”

He no longer hesitated and tossed the pebble into his mouth extremely naturally as he directed a smile at Qu Chi.

 

Qu Chi also held the remaining pebble in his mouth, his blissful expression completely unlike an adult and rather exceedingly similar to a young child.

Of course the pebble had no taste at all, but Xu Xingzhi pretended to eat it with relish. 

Come to think of it, Xu Xingzhi’s perception of Qu Chi was indisputably different from all of the others.

When he saw Zhou Beinan, taking into account that he was in a rush to court death, Xu Xingzhi didn’t develop very strong feelings towards him.

When he met Meng Chongguang, because his mind was completely occupied with the assassination mission the so-called “World’s Consciousness” assigned to him, he was too agitated and had no time to establish further opinions about him.

However, Xu Xingzhi’s mood could no longer remain stable when he saw Qu Chi. 

Because Qu Chi was the only character in his story that Xu Xingzhi had built a background for.

Combined with the sparse few memories the original owner had, Xu Xingzhi learned that he was originally the most senior disciple of the righteous sect at Danyang Peak.
He was ambushed by the demonic sect and developed an ailment of the mind.

In other words, Qu Chi’s current mental age was only about five or six years old.
He couldn’t even distinguish between candy or pebbles.

Xu Xingzhi guessed that thirteen years ago, his mental disability probably caused him to assist Meng Chongguang in stealing the divine artifacts and thus be exiled to the savage wasteland ba. 

Seeing Qu Chi, Xu Xingzhi couldn’t help but wonder that if he had initially written a positive yet exciting story, then perhaps the group of people before him would be much happier.
They wouldn’t need to be trapped in this huge prison where they would become crazy, paranoid, or foolish.

While Xu Xingzhi’s imagination ran wild, Qu Chi, who had just shared his candy with him, had a sudden change in expression as he waved the whisk in his hand and shielded Xu Xingzhi from the side.

Xu Xingzhi hadn’t reacted yet when countless plum blossom blades cut through the air like a stream of fire from his right side, hitting Qu Chi’s whisk like torrential rain and clanging noisily.

Qu Chi flipped his wrist; then moving freely and easily, he twisted and pulled, and finally shook his wrist, launching the plum blossom blades back in the direction it came with his whisk. 

Soon after, several shrill cries echoed from the forest.
From the sound of it, they were probably pierced into sieves by the very same plum blossom blades they had just released.

Qu Chi wielded the whisk with one hand while his other hand unsheathed his Yuchang blade by his waist.
He was on full alert as he faced the right side of the forest where the sneak attack was launched from and passed a command to Xu Xingzhi: “Quickly return to the tower.
Chongguang mentioned earlier that if anything happened to you, he would confiscate all of my candy.”

.
.
.
It was truly a very severe punishment.

Xu Xingzhi suspected that in Qu Chi’s eyes, he was currently no different from a big mobile piece of candy. 

Unspoken criticism was just that.
Xu Xingzhi knew his limits so he naturally wouldn’t remain here to be a burden.
Just as he was about to flee, his arm was seized by someone midway.

Xu Xingzhi was startled.

 

Qu Chi looked back abruptly, but once he clearly made out their identity, his nervous expression pacified substantially: “Chongguang, quickly take Xingzhi back to the tower.”

Hearing this, “Meng Chongguang” revealed a sneer. 

The hand gripping his arm was using excessive force and made Xu Xingzhi pick up on the abnormality.

He lifted his gaze and noticed that a yellow orange color akin to a rabid wolf gleamed in the eyes of “Meng Chongguang”.

When that person grinned at him, two sharp canine teeth protruded prominently, like a carnivorous beast facing a little deer that was freshly caught beneath his claws, considering where he should take a bite out of first.

Xu Xingzhi was startled and exclaimed at Qu Chi: “Wait! He’s not.
.
.” 

Qu Chi didn’t notice at all and even pushed Xu Xingzhi into “Meng Chongguang’s” embrace: “Hurry and get to the tower.”

Xu Xingzhi felt a chill in his heart, but before it crept into his heart completely, the triumphant smile on the person before him froze.

His body fell forward unwittingly while Xu Xingzhi dodged lithely and watched wide-eyed as the fake fell face first onto the ground, convulsing incessantly.

— His spine was fractured in the middle where a finger-deep crater was formed making that area deeply sunken in. 

The real Meng Chongguang was standing behind him.
He wiped his hand leisurely with a handkerchief before he gently pulled Xu Xingzhi towards himself: “Shixiong, did you get injured?”

Xu Xingzhi shook his head in shock and looked towards the fake Meng Chongguang on the ground.

Struggling in death’s throes on the ground, the fake “Meng Chongguang’s” face twisted a few times like a clump of dough before it returned to its original form of the Beast Hide Person who had a sallow complexion and a scraggly beard.

The Beast Hide Person’s spine was broken; he gritted his teeth and grunted in unbearable pain: “Meng Chongguang, how can you be here.
.
.” 

Meng Chongguang crouched down and grabbed his hair with a smile on his face: “If I always stayed in the tower, how would I know who would take advantage of my absence and attack Shixiong?”

The throat of the Beast Hide Person was drowned in blood making it horrendously hoarse: “Earlier.
.
.
the scout clearly reported that you were at the Lanqiao Slope five hundred kilometers away.
.
.”

The tone Meng Chongguang replied with was too casual, like he was making an immaterial little joke: “Only five hundred kilometers.
I run very fast, you know.”

The Beast Hide Person knew that he couldn’t escape death, so he exhausted all of his remaining strength to let out a terrible roar: “Meng Chongguang, you vicious monster—” 

Meng Chongguang remained expressionless as he hooked his fingers into a knot, and with a shallow sneer, he hit the uppermost vertebrae of the beast hide person’s spine, forcefully changing the incomplete curses into a mournful howl.

“You used my face to hug my Shixiong.” Meng Chongguang said, “Do you want to die? No, that’s letting you off too easily.”

 

And just like that, Meng Chongguang crushed the Beast Hide Person’s spine into splinters of bone, vertebrae by vertebrae, like he was cracking walnuts in Xu Xingzhi’s full view.

The Beast Hide Person had long passed out at this point.
After he chiseled the him into broken dreges, Meng Chongguang ordered the bewildered Qu Chi: “Qu Chi, capture all the people in the right side of the forest, alive.
I will send them to their deaths with my own hands.”
