My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

While groaning, Wei Cheng earnestly recounted what had happened to Tang Ming.

"If you're trying to cheat me... then just take it, right? Why are you attacking me?" Wei Cheng gasped.

The bones at the joints of his limbs were shattered, with only the skin and flesh barely holding the joints together. Fortunately, during his escape, Wei Cheng took out all his treasured mediums and cast a healing spell.

Although his rudimentary magical abilities weren't enough to heal people, he quickly stopped the bleeding. As his magic continued to repair the damaged joints, pain was inevitable.

"Bullshit, who's stealing from you? This is my territory. You stole my things and then attacked first..." Tang Ming chuckled softly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"You're very skilled at it; you can just lie off the cuff."

Wei Cheng turned his head. He was lying on the edge of the stairs. The railing next to him was old and brittle, and the noise the two of them had made had made it teeter on the verge of collapse.

"I'm not lying. I'm just an ordinary person who likes magic... I occasionally help others with chores. And what gives you the right to say this is your territory? Do you live here?"

Wei Cheng looked puzzled, clearly not believing Tang Ming's words.

Tang Ming didn't explain, turning his head left and right to observe the surrounding situation, then glanced at Wei Cheng, who looked like a dead dog.

"This is your second time here, right? You ran past here this morning, and now you're coming back the same way. Why do you make it sound like you accidentally came in the first time?"

Tang Ming pointed to the fire escape stairs beneath his feet and asked the question earnestly.

"What...what are you talking about? I already said that I passed by this mall half an hour ago..." Wei Cheng looked completely bewildered.

Tang Ming pressed his foot down on Wei Cheng's leg. "You came to my place, stole so many magic stones, and then used them to attack me. Do you think I'm stupid?!"

Tang Ming's heart bled as he looked at the mediators he had picked out from Wei Cheng's clothes.

My hard work, accumulated over several years, was not only stolen, but also used to attack me without any remorse.

Wei Cheng observed Tang Ming's expression, his heart sinking. It was clear that the other party wasn't trying to trick him into revealing anything. If he didn't confess something, he might not be able to leave, and he might even be imprisoned and enslaved to do bad things.

Tang Ming was indeed not lying to him. This shopping mall was a secret base that Tang Ming had scouted out over several years during his commute. It was deserted, secluded, and deep enough to facilitate his activities.

However, such places can't stop people with good intentions. Initially, to prevent homeless people or construction workers from accidentally wandering in, he installed a surveillance camera in the shop window at the entrance of the underground street.

This way, at least his "belongings" wouldn't be completely emptied out just because he was away for a few days. But Tang Ming was indeed worrying unnecessarily. The buildings here were old and dilapidated, and somewhat dangerous. Coupled with the remote location and the long-standing security tape, practically no one else would visit this place; at most, there would be a few dozen rats...

But this morning, the monitor came in handy.

When the message popped up on Tang Ming's phone, he thought it was just like usual, accidentally triggered by some little animal. Plus, he had work to do, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But when it was triggered again in the afternoon, and even repeatedly, Tang Ming had a bad feeling. If it wasn't someone pacing back and forth, then there were many people passing through the mall's underground street... In either case, he had to go and check it out.

Fortunately, Tang Ming had some free time in the afternoon, so he confidently drove there with his briefcase and, sure enough, caught a "mouse".

Thinking of this, Tang Ming couldn't help but sigh, joining the organization really had many benefits. If he couldn't transform, or if he wasn't even a wizard before, he would have had to slink away in this situation, and would never dare to do it so openly.

"I..." Wei Cheng's eyes darted around, "I didn't dare to take too much the first time, I was nervous... but after I got home I couldn't resist, so... so I came to patronize again."

"Hmm..." Tang Ming shook his head. "You guessed that there are so many mediums in the room, and they're kept in this shady place. You want to wait for them to come to you and get more from the master, right?"

"How greedy! You must often steal other people's things, but unfortunately you ran into me..."

Before Tang Ming could finish speaking, an unknown force suddenly lifted Wei Cheng, who was unable to move his limbs, and sent his entire body crashing through the rickety railing, falling from the top of the stairs.

He fell from the top of the stairs to the next step, crashed through the railing and continued to fall downwards, bouncing back and forth like a ball, finally landing in the basement.

Instead of crashing hard to the ground below due to gravity, Wei Cheng suddenly hovered ten centimeters above the floor. His shoulders and waist were scratched by the sharp edges of the stairs, leaving bloody marks. But instead of crying, he smiled at Tang Ming upstairs, his eyes filled with hatred.

A new magic circle flickered on his limp arm, and Wei Cheng was magically propelled up, rolling into the fire door in a very ungraceful manner.

This is the original route to the underground street. Wei Cheng and Tang Ming just ran out of there one after the other and climbed to the stairwell on the ground.

Going down was a dead end, and Wei Cheng certainly wasn't looking for a better "grave." As he limped forward, being pushed forward by the magic circle beneath him, a two-meter-wide magic circle appeared on the ceiling inside the door, with a small knife embedded in the ceiling at its core.

A crystal-clear magic stone was inlaid at the end of the hilt, and the entire blade exuded a rich magical aura. From the magic circle appeared dozens of similar daggers, aiming at Wei Cheng's back, their tips revealing a chilling sharpness.

Wei Cheng had originally planned to ambush the "room owner" who might come here, because with so many magic stones, he had a high estimate of the other party's strength.

But Wei Cheng was a gambler. For this big fish, he used his most handy enchanted weapon as the core of the formation and set up such a trap on the only way. He prepared a complete blade array, enough to kill any wizard who did not practice defensive magic.

Unfortunately, he did meet this person, but it was a humanoid phantom beast that could also transform into a human!

Tang Ming's speed after the transformation was too fast. He didn't have time to run here to activate the magic circle before he would be taken away by the sharpness of Tang Ming's fingertips. He could only continue to run upwards.

His idea was correct, but he didn't expect the other party to be so fast. He was caught just five or six seconds too late.

Fortunately, he took advantage of the other party's carelessness to return here. As long as he climbs into the area inside the magic circle, even if the other party is a humanoid beast, he should avoid its sharp edge.

He didn't expect the wizard's magic to be able to annihilate the Void Beast.

But if we hide inside the formation and wait for the commotion to get bigger, the magical girl will definitely come and deal with him... She'll definitely tear him to pieces!

Wei Cheng gritted his teeth, partly because his wound was sliding on the ground, and partly because of the unbearable humiliation he was in.

Tang Ming stood cautiously at the edge of the stairs, peering out to see that Wei Cheng had already half his body out of the fire door, and was only two or three meters away from the bottom of the knife array.

"You scared me... I thought you'd suddenly stand up and stab me." Tang Ming shrugged.

The next moment, Tang Ming exerted force on his arm, causing the veins to bulge. The strange, twisting threads in his left hand suddenly straightened, pulling a tiny purple thread from the floor.

The filaments rapidly grew larger, and at the same moment, the walls around Wei Cheng on the ground floor exploded with a "bang." Threads forming sharp crystalline heterogeneous materials broke through the walls and intertwined to form a purple crystal prison, exactly the same as Tang Ming's operation in the illusion, except that there were far fewer intertwined crystalline heterogeneous materials compared to when he was trapped in the Void Tremor Land.

The next second, Wei Cheng was bound by the "net". The sharp edges of the crystal twisted and turned, tearing more wounds into Wei Cheng's skin. Blood flowed on the purple, making it look particularly ferocious.

Wei Cheng was only one step away from his "life-saving" magic circle, but with his neck, arms, waist and legs all entangled, he could not move an inch.

"Ahhh..."

Wei Cheng finally let out a painful roar, his voice echoing in the empty stairwell.

Tang Ming could hear the unbearable pain in his voice, and the despair of someone at the end of their rope.
