I am the villain in the book

This is a breakthrough to the Fifth Rank?

Feeling the changes within himself, Xu Quan stood there dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief.

Just a single fruit had such an effect! Clearly, when the opportunity belonging to the Child of Destiny appeared, Xu Quan was still a little unaccustomed.

After all, although his luck had been good before, it hadn't been this good.

"This..."

Swallowing his saliva, Xu Quan stared wide-eyed at Lu Wu, unsure of what to say for a moment.

The latter was also staring back at Xu Quan with its two huge tiger eyes, a rather human-like look of smugness on its face.

Without a doubt, after swallowing that purple fruit, not only did Xu Quan's realm improve, but Lu Wu also gained considerable benefits.

As for the specifics, Xu Quan didn't have the time to think about it at the moment.

Because in the next moment, the white-skirted woman had already noticed something was wrong.

"What?!"

Her body trembled violently, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The white-skirted woman stared blankly at the spot where the purple fruit had "disappeared," her breathing instantly becoming extremely rapid.

"Sacred... Sacred Fruit..."

"How... What's going on?!"

Her trembling tone was full of panic, which quickly turned into boundless anger.

The next second, as the white-skirted woman slowly turned her head to look at Xu Quan, a huge phantom of a white crane had already appeared behind her.

"You stole the Sacred Fruit?!"

Staring fixedly at Xu Quan, her voice was already extremely cold.

"Hand it over."

"..."

Sacred Fruit?

Hearing the white-skirted woman's words, Yang Liushi and Xu Quan exchanged a look, both understanding something.

Clearly, since it was called the "Sacred Fruit," these purple fruits were undoubtedly the treasure of the Fifth Demon Territory, and should be of great benefit to the demons.

Such treasures were bound to be rare, and it was estimated that this tree did not bear fruit every year, perhaps only a few fruits would be produced every few years, or even decades.

This could explain why this fruit had such a huge attraction for Yang Liushi.

And now, the Sacred Fruit that the other party had been waiting for had been "stolen" by Xu Quan before it was fully ripe, so it was no wonder that the white-skirted woman had such a reaction.

She probably thought that the two of them had come to "steal" the Sacred Fruit.

Frowning slightly, Yang Liushi felt quite helpless in the face of such a situation.

On the one hand, she could certainly see that the purple fruit that had just disappeared was related to Xu Quan.

After all, there was no other reason to explain why the latter had suddenly soared from the Sixth Rank to the Fifth Rank.

But on the other hand, she really didn't come to Mount Changliu for this Sacred Fruit that she had never seen before.

Yang Liushi knew that no matter what she said now, the white-skirted woman would definitely not believe her.

In this case, unless Xu Quan could return the fruit, a great battle would be inevitable.

She took a step sideways to stand in front of Xu Quan, looked back at the white-skirted woman who had been staring at them, and then slowly said:

"Demon King, when did you see us steal that fruit?"

"The two of us have been standing here from beginning to end, and have never moved a single step."

"Of course, if you insist on a fight..."

"Then I'll gladly accompany you!"

"Boom!!"

Along with the fall of the last sentence, the huge phantom of the eight-tailed white fox also appeared behind Yang Liushi, facing the white crane from afar.

The two beautiful women looked even colder than before, and a dangerous aura filled every corner of the hall.

Compared to the situation just now, this time it was clearly no longer a test, but had already reached the final moment of fighting to the death.

Two powerful auras collided fiercely in one place, and strands of mysterious light lingered on the phantoms of the white crane and the white fox.

However, at this moment, the remaining six or seven purple fruits on the ancient tree suddenly shook violently, and then, to everyone's astonishment, they all fell from the branches and went straight to Xu Quan.

"Young Master, Madam and Young Master Xu have not replied."

On the other side, the camp of the Heavenly Dog Army.

After taking a turn around the military camp, when Wei Changtian returned to the military tent, Zhang San reported at the first time:

"But I have already asked, Young Master Xu's life tablet is safe and sound, presumably there should be nothing wrong."

"Hmm."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian had no idea what was happening on Mount Changliu, and did not take this matter to heart.

"It is estimated that they have already seen the Demon King, and are currently negotiating, and have no time to reply."

He analyzed to himself, and casually asked: "Xu Sui Sui? Does she know Huo Tianyang?"

"I don't know."

Zhang San immediately replied: "Miss Xu replied that she had never heard of this person."

"Is that so..."

Frowning, Wei Changtian was both surprised and not surprised by this answer.

Ever since he saved Xu Suisui's life in the Xin Feng Imperial Palace, the latter had stopped doing those "riddle man" operations.

So if Xu Suisui knew Huo Tianyang, she would have said it long ago, and would not have waited for him to ask.

Therefore, Wei Changtian was not surprised by Xu Suisui's answer.

What was surprising was that this meant that in the novel Xu Suisui had read, Han Guan had not had his luck taken away by Huo Tianyang!

So now, not only "The Pinnacle of Martial Arts," but even the plot of the novel Xu Suisui read has undergone tremendous changes?

Then, what caused this change?

Himself?

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian was too lazy to think about these things that he would never understand, and just waved his hand at Zhang San.

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

"Yes."

Zhang San bowed and was about to retreat, but he heard Wei Changtian suddenly ask again:

"By the way, how are Duan Fangping and the others doing?"

"Senior Duan said everything is going smoothly."

Zhang San turned around and replied: "News of Su Qi's desire to rebel has spread in the capital."

"Good, let them coerce and lure a few more court officials to blow some wind in front of Jing Guoqing."

"Yes, I understand."

"Hmm."

"..."

Soon, Zhang San left the military tent, and Wei Changtian also blew out the candle and prepared to sleep.

Taking off his clothes, he lay down on the bed.

Before entering the dream realm, Wei Changtian inexplicably thought of Yang Liushi and Xu Quan again.

Under normal circumstances, the two of them should have arrived at Mount Changliu, but why didn't they reply?

Could they have really encountered an accident...?

It shouldn't be.

The two of them were very cautious in their actions, and Yang Liushi had even practiced for thousands of years, so even if they encountered danger, they would have the power to fight.

Besides, they both carried life-saving treasures, and they could escape even if they couldn't win.

Well, there should be no problem.

I just don't know what kind of animal the Demon King of the Fifth Demon Territory is, and whether they have heard of his "infamy".

Never mind.

Sleep!
