Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

"No one can save you."

As if she had heard Li Qingchi's inner prayer, Hua Chaochao leaned down even lower and whispered softly into Li Qingchi's ear, "Stop struggling and just be my food."

Hearing this, Li Qingchi was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood up. He closed his eyes in extreme fear and his body began to tremble uncontrollably like sieving chaff. Cold sweat kept pouring out of his body. After a while, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Seeing Li Qingchi so frightened, Hua Chaochao raised her eyebrows slightly, put down her feet on the bench, slowly stepped back a few steps, stood there with her arms folded, quietly admiring the other person's miserable appearance.

At this moment, Li Qingchi was completely immersed in the fear that he was about to be eaten, and he didn't notice that Hua Chaochao had stopped and moved away from him.

After a long while, without feeling the expected pain, Li Qingchi slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and saw Hua Chaochao looking at him calmly, unlike the cannibalistic look before. The great joy of surviving the disaster almost knocked him out.

"You, you are not going to eat me?" Li Qingchi asked tentatively with a hint of hesitation and surprise.

Hua Chaochao put on a disgusted expression: "Eat you? I have very high standards for food. You are old and smelly, you must not taste good."

"Yes! That's right! I definitely don't taste good!" Li Qingchi quickly agreed.

For the first time, Li Qingchi was glad that he was disliked. It was good to be disliked, because if he was disliked he wouldn't have to worry about being eaten.

Seeing Li Qingchi's amnesty, Hua Chaochao wanted to tease him again. She looked him up and down, and said slowly, "I'm not really picky about food. If you eat something like this, I won't be able to taste it."

Li Qingchi's heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly rose again, "You said you wouldn't eat mine!"

Li Qingchi has now completely lost all his judgment, and is left with only an overflowing desire to survive.

Hua Chaochao tilted her head and smiled: "When did I say that? I only said that you are not delicious, but I didn't say I don't want to eat you."

Li Qingchi was so anxious that his face turned red. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he shouted hurriedly: "No! You can't eat me. You said I am an important protagonist in your game! I am still useful! I can't die!"

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Hua Chaochao suddenly realized.

When Li Qingchi heard this, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he heard Hua Chaochao say, "But it doesn't matter. The protagonist can be changed. When I want to eat people, nothing can stop me."

!!!

The last line of defense in Li Qingchi's heart completely collapsed. He instantly closed his eyes, kicked his feet, and fainted.

Hua Chaochao: “…” I was really scared.

It was normal to faint. Li Qingchi was in poor health to begin with, and after being frightened by Hua Chaochao, his heart was beating wildly. How could he bear it?

"No fun, let's go."

After saying this, Hua Chaochao walked away, leaving Li Qingchi, who was lying unconscious on the chair, exposed to the cold wind.

……

After leaving the Li family and getting rid of the people who were following them.

"Snapped."

A clear and loud slapping sound suddenly rang out in the air.

Ji Xianchen's face turned to the side.

His cheeks quickly turned red and his hair swayed slightly due to the force.

He pressed his tongue against the cheek that had been hit, then slowly turned his head and stared at the man who had hit him, his biological father.

"Is that enough? Do you want to fight again?"

Fu Lan raised his hand, wanting to slap Ji Xianchen again, but his hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall.

He just said with deep disappointment: "I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place."

Ji Xianchen pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a mocking smile, "Regret it? Unfortunately, it's too late to regret. I will do my best to stop you and stop you from hurting innocent people again."

"Innocent people..." Fu Lan sneered, "Are you saying that Li Cenyuan and the others are innocent people?"

Ji Xianchen didn't answer, but his eyes gave the answer.

Fu Lan: "It's ridiculous. The four great families regard themselves as the masters of Xuanzhou, making rules and manipulating life and death. Li Cenyuan and his people are born into aristocratic families and enjoy the glory and privileges of the family. They are not innocent."

Ji Xianchen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute something, but before he could utter a word, Fu Lan immediately followed up with a mocking tone: "You are standing up for them, isn't it because of that Bai Sheng? She is Li Cenyuan's daughter, and you like her, so you can even forget about the blood debt of your mother's tragic death at the hands of the Shi family, and obey the Shi family and be their dog!"

Ji Xianchen: “I didn’t…”

Fu Lan interrupted him again, not wanting to hear his explanation at all. "Actually, this is nothing. I never expected you to avenge your mother, but you dared to hand over your mother's things to the family. It's simply a blasphemy to your mother! Do you know how much I wanted to strangle you the moment I learned that the ring fell into the hands of the family?"

Ji Xianchen clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't refute this.

He did exactly that.

"What? You are speechless? Do you feel guilty towards your mother?" Fu Lan sneered, "If you really feel guilty, then leave Xuanzhou. No matter whether you return to the Ji family or go somewhere else, you are not allowed to set foot in Xuanzhou again."

Don’t set foot in Xuanzhou again...

Ji Xianchen thought about this, and a bad feeling gradually came over him. He looked directly at Fu Lan, "Are you going to take action against the aristocratic family?"

Fu Lan did not deny it. "I allow you to take your people and the Baisheng you like away, but only these people."

Ji Xianchen's eyes slowly moved downwards, finally stopping at the bomb on Fu Lan's waist that had not yet been defused, "Are you going to...bomb the family?"

"No, letting them die in the explosion would be too easy for them." Fu Lan smiled cruelly. There was no trace of humanity in his smile, only endless hatred and madness.

"I will make them lose everything, make them feel worse than death, and then I will kill them all."

……

Ji Xianchen didn't know how he got back to Xuan Palace. He was in a daze the whole time. After arriving at Xuan Palace, he leaned against the wall, replaying Fu Lan's hateful words over and over in his mind.

Fu Lan said that he would make the family lose everything first, but Ji Xianchen couldn't think of any way to do that.

Ji Xianchen had no idea what Fu Lan was going to do.

"It's too late..." Ji Xianchen muttered to himself, with a deep sense of powerlessness in his voice.

He felt as if an invisible net was enveloping him and no matter how hard he struggled he could not escape.

At this time, Nai Tu came over. He didn't notice that Ji Xianchen was not right. He turned to Ji Xianchen and began to report what he had gained from the Li family yesterday. "Third brother, I didn't find out the whereabouts of Miss Chao Chao. The Li clan leader hid her very well. Most people in the Li family don't know about Miss Chao Chao."

Naito's tone was full of disappointment. He asked many people about it, but he had only met Miss Chao Chao before. Unfortunately, that person could not give any useful clues.

After finishing the report, Naito noticed Ji Xianchen's abnormality.

Ji Xianchen's back was seen trembling slightly, and he seemed to be muttering something in a low voice.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?" Nai Tu's heart tightened and he quickly walked around to Ji Xianchen.

Only then did Ji Xianchen realize that someone was talking to him.

He looked up at Naito with a confused look in his eyes and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "You're back. Did you find Chao Chao?"

Naito frowned and repeated what he had just said. At the end, he couldn't help but ask again, "Third brother, what's wrong with you? You look absent-minded. Did something happen again?"

“No.” Ji Xianchen straightened himself up to make himself look more normal. “Tell the three of them that the four of you will go back to Da Xia with Xing Yuan today.”

If he understood correctly, the next Xuanzhou would be very dangerous, so they could not be allowed to stay here any longer. He had to ensure their safety.

"The four of us are leaving too?" Ji Xingyuan let it go, but Naito didn't understand why the four of them wanted to leave together.

Ji Xianchen said affirmatively, “Yes, let’s all go.”

Nai Tu said anxiously: "I won't leave, Third Brother, Miss Chao Chao has not been rescued yet, I want to stay and help you."

However, Ji Xianchen responded mercilessly: "No need, with your strength, you can't help at all in saving people." There was no room for negotiation in his tone.

Naito's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Ji Xianchen in disbelief: "Third brother, how can you say that?"

"This is an order." Ji Xianchen's expression was more serious than ever before.

It was the first time that Naito saw Ji Xianchen like this and he was stunned.

After a long while, he slowly came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since it's an order, then I'll obey it. I'll go tell Luo Han and the others, and then go back to Da Xia."
