Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

"How does it taste?" Shenlan helped Zhang Chunliang fill up the fruit wine.

Zhang Chunliang took a sip and nodded: "It tastes good."

This wine is made from some sweet and sour berries from the Ailante plant. Zhang Chunliang has eaten it several times, but this is the first time he drinks wine made from it. It tastes very refreshing.

"It would be better if the smell was less," he said sincerely.

Shenlan gave a strange smile when he heard this.

It knew what Zhang Chunliang was talking about - the dinner had already started for half an hour, but there were still only the two of them at the banquet table.

Because the nobles and elders who came to the banquet had been killed by the water guards it summoned a quarter of an hour ago.

They lay in a mess on the ground, their blue blood soaked the bricks, and the whole palace was filled with a strange, fragrant and smelly odor.

Some of these mermaid elders and nobles were older than Kenshahua and the others, and their chances for rebirth had long been used up. They stared with their eyes wide open and twisted into painful postures, becoming an unsightly display at the banquet.

"You are such a contradictory guy." Zhang Chunliang looked at the blood on the ground flowing to his toes, dodged it gently, and started chatting, "I thought you would hate the mermaids, but now it seems that you are managing this place seriously."

"Isn't this good?" Shenlan asked, "Follow the predetermined destiny and become a king that others look forward to."

Zhang Chunliang really wanted to know what Kenshahua and Kist would feel if they were still alive, watching the king they fought so hard to revive slaughtering the mermaids.

"By the way, what did you do in the House of Games?" Zhang Chunliang looked at it curiously. "It is said that you have passed many extremely difficult dungeons."

"Ah, this." Shenlan thought for a moment, then replied, "You enter a dungeon to earn points, and the points are used to redeem auction items. A player stole my heart and sold it. It's on display in the S-level auction item display column of the auction house, and the label is 'A Heart of a Mermaid King'."

"Luckily, you found it." Zhang Chunliang said, "How do you feel?"

"When I first got it, I felt empty and a little strange. My life has become so bad because of a heart that doesn't belong to me." Shenlan said, "I feel a little disgusted."

Zhang Chunliang lowered his eyelashes in silence. In this world, the mermaids were the main support of the world consciousness. Therefore, the Game House focused all its tasks on destroying the mermaids. None of the mermaid kings had a good ending.

"So, your fifth treasure is that heart?" Shenlan helped Zhang Chunliang fill his wine glass.

Zhang Chunliang looked up and found that it was looking at him with a smile in its eyes.

"What if it is?" he asked involuntarily.

"Then you will have to stay here for the rest of your life." Shenlan sighed, "That would be a happy ending for everyone."

Zhang Chunliang thought: "What did you do to that heart?"

"I crushed it into pieces." Shenlan tapped the table and said calmly, "I crushed it into mud, bit by bit, and buried it with my parents."

"It shouldn't be like this... Xiao Ai said that you... your heart has been nourished by it... that is the source of your strength--" Zhang Chunliang murmured, then slowly opened his eyes.

"It's fake, baby." Deep Blue laughed so hard that he lost his composure. He leaned back on the throne and asked, "If I didn't set up this trap, how could I have used the mouth of the person you trust the most to tell you this news? And how could you have willingly sent him away and come to negotiate with me alone?"

"Xiao Ai... lied to me?" Zhang Chunliang was stunned, then smiled and said affirmatively, "No, you lied to it. You placed a fake heart in it."

Shenlan put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture: "Don't let it hear. The heart is not fake. It is the real heart I exchanged from the system. Except that it is not born with it, the rest is no different from the real one."

"I'm telling you from my bitter experience, don't trust the props from Game House, or you'll end up in a terrible situation." Zhang Chunliang said sincerely, "You might suddenly have a cardiac arrest and die one day."

"Is this heart the one in your mission?" Shenlan asked.

"Of course not." Zhang Chunliang answered seriously, "After all, the heart is not the treasure I need."

Shenlan was a little surprised by his answer. It raised its eyebrows and wanted to ask something.

"Fox." Zhang Chunliang suddenly called out the name that he had not said for a long time.

Deep Blue is the king of the mermaid clan in the dungeon NPC, while Fox is his rebellious comrade who belongs to the same camp as him.

"What's wrong?" There was a flash of astonishment in the deep blue eyes, and it asked with a normal smile, "I feel like a child who is about to complain."

"Thank you." Zhang Chunliang smiled, "Thank you very much."

"What are you thanking me for?" Shenlan frowned slowly, and he was visibly unhappy. He felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

"Thank you for not choosing the original plan." Zhang Chunliang raised his fruit wine and clinked glasses with it. "You originally wanted to kill me here, right?"

Deep Blue didn't move for a long while. It slowly raised its head, looked at Zhang Chunliang for a moment, and then asked, "How did you know that?"

Judging from my tattoo that gets hot from time to time, you have been wanting to kill me for a long time.

Zhang Chunliang didn't dare to say that. He drank the fruit wine in one gulp, thought for a moment, and explained, "Since you chose to join in the act of blasphemy."

If Deep Blue went to the Game House just to find his heart, he could have just gotten his heart and returned to his own world.

But it later added blasphemy.

In the game, it realized the true identity of the holy island in its own world. It turned out to be just a fragment of the soul of a rebel in the game house.

Blasphemy is an organization founded by Shen Xingyi to rebel against the House of Gaming, and Shen Xingyi is the only player who can shake the world.

Zhang Chunliang didn’t think that Shenlan really admired Shen Xingyi and wanted to help him recover his soul fragments.

What it wants is to make Shen Xingyi return to the home of the game, and then use his hatred for the world to overturn the entire game plane. This would be like a world-destroying disaster for the countless copy planes of the game.

Its desire to destroy the world isn't so elusive.

"I'm just curious as to why you suddenly gave up helping Shen Xingyi recover the fragments and chose to return to your own world." This was the only thing Zhang Chunliang couldn't figure out. Logically speaking, most of Shen Xingyi's soul had been collected and he would be able to be resurrected soon.

Shenlan suddenly gave a strange smile, looked at Zhang Chunliang with an almost pity look, and then shook his head gently.

"Then why do you think I will definitely kill you?" it asked according to Zhang Chunliang's thoughts.

"Recovering the fragments and resisting the world is the first way to destroy the world... but there is a more convenient and efficient second way." Zhang Chunliang pointed at himself, "Kill me."
