I Am The Villain In The Novel

Chapter 11: The Same Style As The Protagonist

The next morning.

Wei Changtian had just stretched lazily after getting up when two maidservants immediately entered the room to help him wash, dress, and groom.

One couldn’t deny the luxury of life in a wealthy household; even putting on clothes was done with assistance. It seemed they were only short of being fed by someone else.

Bah! The evils of feudal society!

Wei Changtian cursed inwardly, while at the same time, he reached out his hand behind him to touch.

“Sister Qin Yun, you see, the young master is getting more and more outrageous, and it’s still broad daylight…”

Yuan’er blinked her big watery eyes and looked for help at another older maid who was combing Wei Changtian’s hair.

But Qiu Yun, having seen “grand scene” before, merely suppressed a smile, continuing to comb Wei Changtian’s hair while changing the subject, “Young Master, there was some noise outside last night. Did something happen?”

Wei Changtian casually replied, “It’s nothing, just some thieves causing a ruckus.”

Qiu Yun was somewhat surprised, “What kind of thieves dare to come to the Wei residence to steal?”

“Flower thieves,” Wei Changtian chuckled, “Make sure to lock the doors and windows at night from now on, so you won’t be taken advantage of.”

“Young Master is joking again.”

Qiu Yun pouted coquettishly, “If Yuan’er and I were really taken advantage of by other men, Young Master would surely despised us.”

“In that case, we might as well find a river and jump in.”

“…:

Hearing Qin Yun’s words, Wei Changtian was momentarily at a loss for words.

Although it was a joke, it also revealed the sorrow of the maidservants.

They had served Wei Changtian since childhood, acting as both maids and wives. If the master died early, they would even be buried with him… If one day Wei Changtian abandoned them, it would be akin to taking their lives.

As a modern person from a civilized society, Wei Changtian couldn’t let such a thing happen!

After a moment of contemplation, he looked at the two women solemnly and said, “Qin Yun, Yuan’er, remember this.”

“Even if such a day comes, I will never despise you. So, never entertain any thoughts of suicide.”

“Young Master…”

The two women were stunned for a moment, their eyes filled with adoration.

Although they didn’t know if their young master truly felt this way, even if it was just comforting words, it was enough to move them deeply.

Little did they know that the most touching part was yet to come.

“By the way, in a few days, I’ll talk to my parents and find a good day to formally marry you both.”

“The truth is, I’d like to do it sooner, but considering Lan Jingyao had just entered the family yesterday, we should wait for some time…”

“…”

These simple sentences exploded like a bombshell in Qin Yun and Yuan’er’s ears. They stood there dumbfounded for a while, then quickly wiped away the tears from their eyes and smiled with reddened eyes, saying, “We’ll follow Young Master’s arrangements.”

…

Wei Changtian ate breakfast alone.

Qin Yun originally wanted to call Lan Jingyao, but was stopped by Wei Changtian’s words “It’s up to her to eat or not.”

After finishing his meal, he went to the study.

Yuan’er came in to deliver a pot of cooling sour plum soup, and soon ran away with a red face.

Sitting on the mahogany chair that could have bought a whole set of houses in his past life, Wei Changtian accessed the system interface.

Last night, the system credited him with 300 points, presumably related to the changes in Lan Jingyao’s storyline.

But there were no further prompts afterward, indicating that Xiao Feng definitely didn’t die.

Being the protagonist really had its perks; he could survive anything.

Thinking this sarcastically, Wei Changtian cast his gaze over the array of items in the system store, preparing to first strengthen his own strength.

[Return to Origin Technique: Basic cultivation technique (Heaven grade), can be cultivated up to the first grade, 2000 points]

[Awakening Thunder: Sword Technique (Heaven grade), extremely fast swordplay, capable of summoning thunder, 500 points]

[Inner Origin Pill: Increases the user’s cultivation by five years (cannot exceed the limit of the basic cultivation technique being practiced), 300 points]

[Cutting Mist: Blade technique (Earth grade), forged from cold iron, capable of cutting through mist, 200 points]

[…]

After flipping through a few pages casually, Wei Changtian suddenly realized that his current situation was a bit embarrassing.

He couldn’t afford the good stuff, and he didn’t need the ordinary items either.

After all, with the Wei family’s resources, his cultivation resources were already at maximum capacity.

Of course, items like the Inner Origin Pill, which didn’t even exist in this world, were exceptions.

So… why not just buy an Inner Origin Pill?

After all, his current points were just enough.

Five years of cultivation would be enough to jump from seventh-grade to sixth-grade directly.

This way, at least he would surpass Xiao Feng in realm.

Hmm, feasible… Wait a minute!

Just as Wei Changtian had made up his mind and was about to make the payment, a familiar name suddenly caught his attention.

[Dream Path: Special divine ability, allows the owner to engage in simulated battles in dreams, simulated level determined by the owner’s combat experience, 300 points (plot-related item, 70% discount)]

Special divine ability!

Fighting in dreams to improve combat experience!

Furthermore, the more fights you’ve been in, the better the effect!

And it’s even discounted by 70%!

Just hearing these descriptions was quite enticing, not to mention that Wei Changtian also knows one more thing…

Isn’t this one of Xiao Feng’s current trump cards?

Wow!

Protagonist’s model??

No wonder it’s a “plot-related item.” How could he not immediately take it?!

Although the Inner Origin Pill’s effect is more direct, there are plenty of ways to quickly increase internal energy in the future.

But combat experience needs to be accumulated over time, so it’s better to start early.

Thinking this through, Wei Changtian didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately clicked on the purchase button in his mind.

[Ding~ Congratulations!]

[You have obtained “Special Divine Ability – Dream Path”]

A mysterious feeling surged into his mind. Although he didn’t understand the principle, he could feel that he had mastered a profound divine ability.

Experimenting with the “Dream Path” required falling asleep, but Wei Changtian wasn’t in a hurry. He took a deep breath, closed the system interface, and prepared to lay out what he needed to do next.

Compared to Xiao Feng, he had a big advantage besides the system: he already knew the plot.

With proper planning, he could completely seize all the opportunities that originally belonged to Xiao Feng.

Hmm… so what was Xiao Feng planning to do in the capital this time?

…I remember!

“Wang Er!”

Wei Changtian suddenly opened his eyes and shouted towards the tightly closed door.

The burly man with a flattering expression immediately pushed the door open. “Young Master, what are your orders?”

“You go to the Phoenix Pavilion and find out about someone for me.”

“The Phoenix Pavilion?”

Wang Er seemed a bit puzzled. “Young Master… you should be more familiar with the place than I am. From the madam to all the girls inside…”

“That’s enough!”

Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment, then kicked Wang Er’s buttocks. “I told you to find out, so just do it! Why so much talk!”

“Yes, yes, yes, I was too talkative!”

Wang Er didn’t dodge, since with his sixth-grade strength, taking this kick was like scratching an itch.

But to save face for Wei Changtian, he pretended to be in pain, covering his buttocks and making a pitiful “ouch” a couple of times before asking softly, “So, Young Master, who do you want me to investigate?”

Wei Changtian huffed. “Hmph! Yang Liushi!”

“Miss Liushi?”

Wang Er suddenly showed a knowing expression.

He had long heard about this courtesan that Wei Changtian had been unable to conquer.

So, was he finally ready to make a move?

Thinking this, Wang Er quickly assured him, patting his chest, “Young Master, rest assured! I’ll bring Miss Liushi to you within three days…”

“Who told you to capture anyone?”

Wei Changtian scolded impatiently, “Can’t you understand my words? I told you to investigate her!”

“Also, make sure to find some unfamiliar brothers to help, and don’t get caught.”

“I understand, Young Master.”

Wang Er looked a bit surprised this time, but quickly regained his composure. After a slight bow, he prepared to arrange the matter.

As he was about to leave the room, a sudden sentence floated behind him.

“From now on, I hope you won’t act smart on your own.”

Wei Changtian’s tone was calm.

Wang Er shuddered, breaking out in a cold sweat for a moment.
