The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

He hurriedly and nervously took a few steps back and waved his hands to indicate that he had not touched the other person.

Perhaps because he felt it was difficult to prove his innocence in this way, the waiter had an idea and fell down on the spot, curling up with his hands covering his chest, acting more convincingly than the other party.

"Huff...exhale..." Ryutani Kaiwu adjusted his breathing, slowly stood up and said with a pale face: "I just feel a little unwell, I don't mean to scare you."

After saying that, he turned and hurried towards Russell Academy.

The stinging pain came and went quickly. Although it did not cause any harm to his body, it gave Longgu Kaiwu a mysterious and uncomfortable feeling - as if something very precious was leaving him, ethereal and unpredictable, but seemed to be very important to him.

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember what I had lost.

After all, he was just a poor student from a remote mountain village. Apart from being handsome, talented, and having a beautiful childhood sweetheart, he had nothing precious!

In fact, this was not the first time that Long Gu Kaiwu felt palpitations. He didn't care when he felt the pain for the first time, because he felt that he had lost the Russell Maze, but that maze was not his in the first place!

So he just went to the infirmary to see the teacher for a physical check-up, and found nothing abnormal.

As for the maze, he simply didn't look at it. According to the game's progression, he would first learn various types of magic at Russell Academy, and then enter the maze for training about a week later. Although he had the talent for [All-round Magician], he couldn't learn much magic in the village.

The second time he had heart palpitations was late last night. He felt a sharp pain in his sleep and Kaiwu Ryutani felt like he had lost... a ball?

How can this work!

After being startled awake, he lowered his head to check on the spot. When he confirmed that his testicles were still there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and continued to sleep.

It was not until the end of this morning's class that he half-believed and half-doubtedly followed his feeling and came to a Warcraft material store in the south of Russell City, but still found nothing.

This was the third time I had heart palpitations, and the pain was stronger than the previous two times. It seemed that the things I lost were more precious than before.

Longgu Kaiwu didn't know that there was a man named Lao Liu who was relying on his foresight and had been secretly intercepting the opportunity that belonged to him.

The purity of his protagonist halo has decreased again!

If this continues, one day in the future when the purity of his protagonist halo drops to 0%, he will be just like everyone else!

Even if Wanxing didn't come to kill him on purpose, he would be killed by ordinary enemies like ordinary adventurers - this is the treatment of ordinary people without the halo of the protagonist.

Of course, the purity of Longgu Kaiwu's protagonist halo is still very high, so after sensing the crisis, the protagonist halo reminded him in a heart-pounding way to act quickly.

Although Ryutani Kaiwu didn't know what exactly happened, he chose to follow his feelings and ran towards the library of Russell Academy.

But if he was slow to act, all the steps would be slower. Even if he ran faster, it was too late and nothing could be saved.

……

【ding~】

[Congratulations on snatching up the heroine of Destiny's Son, Devilia. The purity of Kaiwu's protagonist aura has dropped by 1% and is currently at 97%!]

[The purity of your super villain aura has increased by 1%. The current aura purity is 3%. Please keep up the good work and create more glory!]

[The aura effect of Wei Wu's legacy takes effect, intercepting the heroine to gain dual cultivation energy and improve the realm! The first drop of blood will increase the cultivation effect tenfold.]

【Experience value is full, level up! 】

[Magician Level: LV15?LV16?LV18?LV19]

[Warrior Level: LV15?LV16?LV18?LV19]

Blood earned!

Such a generous reward made Wan Xing so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

In his previous life, he disdained the legacy of Wei Wu, but now he is the thief Cao himself!

What? You're saying Wanxing is an animal that thinks with its lower body?

This is human nature. If there are no thoughts, then there must be something wrong. Even the Taishang Laojun, a saint, has an unclear relationship with Princess Iron Fan, let alone Wanxing?

The most important thing is that the heroine is blessed with a world-class charm filter.

This kind of charm is as gentle as the spring breeze and drizzle, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect any abnormality.

Wan Xing was able to discover the world-class charm filter on Claires because he was vigilant and knew the plot in advance, so he was able to detect the abnormality in himself from the clues.

However, after he awakened his aura as a super villain, his vigilance towards the heroines has decreased, especially the heroines who have not yet met Ryutani Kaiwu.

That's why Wanxing fell into the trap without knowing it and failed to resist Davilya's temptation - in a sense, he is the real victim!

"babble!!!"

Xingyi, who was placed at the window as a spy, suddenly issued a warning. Through her vision, Wanxing saw the figure of Longgu Kaiwu rushing towards him in the distance.

This was Wan Xing's first time playing a villain, so he carefully prepared many contingency plans.

Including the situation where Longgu Kaiwu may suddenly pass by under the guidance of the protagonist's halo, Wanxing has also made preparations in advance to deal with it.

……

A minute later, Ryutani Kaiwu ran into the library panting.

Because the clues given by the protagonist's halo were very vague, he only knew that there were some things in the library that belonged to him, but he didn't know what they were specifically.

So I can only spin around blindly like a headless fly.

Ten minutes had passed since he had walked around the entire civilian reading area, but Ryutani Kaiwu hadn't discovered anything.

In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and break into the nobles' rest area.

Fortunately, there were very few nobles reading here at this time. There was only one young man sitting in the innermost seat, flipping through the magic book carefully.

He remembered that the boy was originally in the same class as him, but he was transferred to the next class that day, and he didn't know why.

But why others changed classes had nothing to do with him.

Long Gu Kaiwu had only vaguely heard that some of the noble girls in his class were very regretful about this, as if they had missed out on the immense wealth that would come with marrying into the Duke's mansion.

Therefore, the identity of this young man in front of him should be the son of the Duke.

Oh no, I trespassed into the nobles' rest area without permission. If they see me, they won't ask the principal to expel me, right?

Long Gu Kaiwu stopped in his tracks with some worry, and after weighing for a moment between the real and important studies and the illusory and precious things, he made a choice.

He wants them all!

Since the Duke's son was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't even notice someone coming, I could just quietly explore the nobles' rest area before leaving.

Chapter 16: Crazy Temptation

From a universal perspective, the protagonists in many stories who choose to seek wealth and fame at the risk of danger will basically succeed (ordinary people should not imitate this) because they all have the aura of the protagonist.

Longgu Kaiwu is no exception. The long-term protection of the halo makes him a little radical when making choices.

When he was halfway through his investigation,

The Duke's son suddenly exhaled deeply, then raised his head and looked around. When he saw himself, he smiled friendly and then continued to look through the magic book.

[What? He's actually quite nice!]

Kaiwu Ryutani, who had once again escaped danger, thought so. Claire had previously whispered to herself, "This boy is a perverted pervert!"

Now it seems that I misunderstood him!

He is obviously a diligent, studious and kind gentleman.

Since the Duke's son doesn't mind his trespassing, Longgu Kaiwu doesn't need to be so cautious anymore.

He quickly inspected the nobles' rest area and still found nothing.

The only odd thing was the Duke's son's expression while reading—a strange smile. There was something indescribably odd about that smile, perhaps due to his body language. His sitting posture was clearly unnatural, constantly twisting slightly from side to side, with only one hand on the table...

After thinking for a moment, Long Gu Kaiwu looked shocked.

Could it be...

The son of a duke was actually reading banned books in the library to amuse himself?!

Although the tables in the library were covered with thick red tablecloths and no exact evidence could be seen, Ryutani Kaiwu thought his guess was almost right.

So bold!

Although Ryutani Kaiwu had read the banned books lent to him by his roommate, he had read them secretly in the dormitory. He never thought that someone would dare to do such a thing in the library!

It seems that Claire's previous evaluation was quite pertinent. The Duke's son is indeed a pervert. Claire needs to be reminded to stay away from him.

Thinking of this, Long Gu Kaiwu hurriedly left the library.

……

【ding~】

[The villain's halo effect, Wei Wu's legacy, takes effect. Intercepting the heroine, he gains dual cultivation energy and improves his realm!]

Without the tenfold training effect granted by the first drop of blood, the experience points gained were greatly reduced. The experience bar of the magician level and the warrior level LV 19 only increased to 33% and then stopped.

But it's better to have it than not, and it's much faster to level up than to kill monsters.

Wanxing began to clean up the site with satisfaction. With Xingyi's assistance, the work was very easy.

【Talent: Devour】

[Special Effect 1: Gluttony, absorbs the target object into the body. However, if the target is still conscious, the success rate will be greatly reduced. The target of the activation is not limited to organic or inorganic objects, but also includes skills and magic.]

[Special Effect 2: Stomach pouch, stores prey. Also, can store decomposed matter. Once stored in the stomach pouch, it will not be affected by time.]

[Special Effect 3: Corrosion. Corrodes the target, speeding up digestion and eliminating the object's equipment. When absorbing the corpse of a monster, it gains some abilities.] (Unlocked at LV30.)

[Special Effect 4: Isolation. Stores harmful effects that cannot be decomposed, purifies them, and converts them into magic power.] (Unlocked at LV40.)

[Special Effect 5: Mimicry. Can reproduce the absorbed object and perform the same abilities. However, this only works on objects whose intelligence has been successfully analyzed.] (Unlocked at LV50.)

[Special Effect 6: Soul Devouring. If the opponent's heart has surrendered to you, you can use this skill to devour the opponent's soul, as if controlling their heart, and can kill them at any time.] (Unlocked after LV60.)

[Introduction: This talent, originating from the Slime, has undergone a qualitative change under the inspiration of the Star Dragon King's bloodline, significantly increasing its power.]

[Evaluation: Devouring powerful monsters can trigger more effects.]

After cleaning up the scene with Xingyi's help, Wanxing took out a high-level water healing magic scroll from the storage ring and used it directly on Davilia's wound.

Only a blue ripple of water was seen passing by. This [Water of Life] was a high-level healing magic that could even regrow broken fingers. It was natural that it could easily heal minor scratches and abrasions.

Seeing that Davilya's injuries had healed, Wan Xing suddenly had an idea - since she had recovered, if he intercepted her again at this moment, would he be able to obtain the tenfold training effect of the first drop of blood again?

Although this is a bug, if Wanxing doesn't figure it out, he will always be troubled by this problem and won't be able to sleep at night!

In order to solve his doubts, he had no choice but to ask Teacher Davilya to continue teaching.

Just as Wanxing was pursuing the truth through his hat trick skills, the magic item on his wrist received a short-distance communication magic.

The one who initiated the call request was the little maid Loelle. The reason she was not at the scene was that she was sent by Wanxing to monitor Devilia's guardian knight Nolandi.

Wan Xing picked up the phone and asked, "Luo Ai'er, what happened?"

"Master, Noranti has put down the Glorious Knight Training Experience and is walking towards you." Loelle's surveillance work was done very well, and she even knew what book the target was reading.

"Oh, I see. Good job. Stay where you are and I'll contact you later."

Wanxing praised the little maid, then immediately hung up the short-distance call magic and started to use the same trick again according to the plan he had just made when the protagonist passed by.

Although Longgu Kaiwu could not see what Wanxing did just now, he was actually still very safe.

However, he suddenly found that this was really exciting! It was like he was frantically testing the edge of being discovered!

Less than two seconds after he put down the heavy tablecloth, footsteps were heard outside the door of the noble lounge.

Then Nolandi pushed the door open and looked around, but only saw Wanxing Russell sitting alone in the innermost corner.

Thinking of the plan that Princess Davilia and I had discussed on the way back to the dormitory yesterday evening - this Duke's son is a promising talent. After taking him in as a dog, we can use his cruel and murderous character to do some evil things that Princess Davila is not convenient to do.

In addition, you can also gain the connections and cultivation resources of the Duke's Mansion, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, given Her Royal Highness the Princess's determination to obtain the Duke's son, Norlandi, as the guardian knight who grew up with Her Royal Highness the Princess and whom she trusts and respects the most, naturally needs to take the initiative to share Her Royal Highness the Princess's worries.

So she walked towards Wanxing with a smile, intending to establish a good relationship with this future colleague first, so that Her Royal Highness the Princess could recruit him later.
