I’ve Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?-Chapter 384

Chapter 384

After the two finished their “affectionate gaze”, Xu Zirong also settled the bargain with the writing brushes. The final result was that – Xu Ziyan had to pay three bottles of Nine-Turn Styx River, and the writing brushes not only opened the door for him, but also offered to give them a bunch of garbage.

Well, they were trash for the brushes, but they were rare and precious items for Xu Ziyan and the others.

The small writing brush with a very soft voice followed Xu Ziyan out of the hall and led them to a small storage room in the secret path.

Originally, it was used to store some cleaning equipment, but as time went by, those things inside had already rotted, and it later became a common garbage dump for these writing brushes.

Don’t get me wrong – the writing brushes naturally had nothing to throw away, so there were just the corpses and belongings of cultivators who were there for challenges before.

The things they carried were of no use to the brushes, so they were treated as garbage and put away in the small storage room.

Because of the secrecy of this secret path, there were not many cultivators who could really go there, but many people simply relied on their high level of cultivation and started fighting without considering the feelings of the brushes.

The originally harmless literary fight turned into a martial fight. Even brushes had dignity, who would not fight back when they were attacked for no reason?

As a result, the brushes fought back and it was a bad ending for the cultivators. As the writing brushes were the host, they naturally knew the various attributes of the hall very well. No matter how high the level of cultivation of those cultivators were, they wouldn’t be able to stand various fights.

As a result, all the cultivators fell on this supposedly peaceful level, while the brushes angrily threw their wreckage and items into the storage room, sighing at the blood-stained ground…

They are brushes! Not a mop! They are really bad at cleaning the ground! _(:3」∠)_

The facts that happened later were too unbearable to look back on, and that tiny writing brush refused to talk about it no matter what.

However, Xu Ziyan knew those brushes had to suffer a lot in order to clean up the ground, maybe that’s how the brush got bald. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

“Here, it’s here. You can take whatever you want, I’m leaving.” After the small brush opened the door of the storage room, it shook the pen holder at them and ran away excitedly. It had to go back to participate in the distribution of the river and it couldn’t afford to waste time there.

As soon as the door of the storage room was opened, Xu Ziyan almost fainted by the smell…

It’s just a small space with many rotten corpses. There was absolutely no circulation of air, and even though the corpses had turned into ashes, the smell still lingered.

“Damn it, I didn’t die in the hands of the brush, but I was almost plotted by this horrible smell.” Xu Ziyan released a spiritual power shield to isolate the surrounding air.

Tianle also showed a look of disgust, but when he saw the pile of Qiankun bags and bracelets of Nothingness on the ground, he suddenly looked vibrant, as if he saw gold all over the ground.

The writing brushes were not interested in the Qiankun bag and the bracelets, so they just threw everything inside.

Xu Zirong picked out a total of eleven storage bags and four bracelets of Nothingness from inside. This kind of harvest was definitely like a small treasure.

Those who could enter the central city must be nascent soul cultivators at least. The things they got were equivalent to the collection of 15 nascent soul cultivators. Of course they’d be excited!

“Hahahaha…We’re rich! This time we’ll be really rich!” Tianle’s eyes got so flashy that they almost looked like spiritual stones. If he wasn’t rational enough and if he hadn’t realized that he’s even sicker than Xu Zirong, he might have just rushed over and snatched away those things.

“Well, we’ve been lucky enough.” Xu Ziyan couldn’t help but smiled as he looked at those bracelets and Qiankun bags.

This kind of harvest was definitely a surprise for them. Xu Ziyan glanced at the treasures with satisfaction. In terms of value, it was even more expensive than the Nine Turns Styx River that he gave.

In order to avoid accidents, Xu Ziyan divided them in the passage.

Tianle looked at the simple bracelet of Nothingness on his wrist and he had a big smile. Although it wasn’t impossible for him to get such a bracelet, there were still differences in terms of quality.

Like the one in his hand, which had hundreds of square meters’ space inside. Even a deity cultivator wouldn’t be able to get such a big one, except those proficient in space spells.

Tianle was overjoyed. He put all the things in his Qiankun bag and the things that he had just been assigned with into this bracelet. He couldn’t contain the smile on face thinking about how his master would react later.

“Okay, let’s get out of here as soon as possible. Don’t forget that we still have to continue searching the secret rooms. No one can guarantee that we can pass the next trap as easily.” Xu Ziyan reminded them in a serious manner.

Tianle nodded hurriedly. Although he was a crazy guy, he could still distinguish the priorities. Besides, the corpses they had just seen successfully woke them up.

Although those brushes knew how to act cute, they might win the fight if they united.

Out of the exit of the secret path, there was an ordinary house, and the place where they came out happened to be under the rice tank in the kitchen.

There was still half a jar of rice left in the rice jar, which looked black and sticky, and it looked decayed.

Xu Ziyan didn’t know why he had such a reaction at that time, but a voice in his head reminded him to check the rice tank.

(The little snail living in the golden core shook its tentacles silently.)

“Wait.” Xu Ziyan stopped, and the other two also stopped.

“Zirong, use a blood vine to check out this rice tank.” Xu Ziyan said.

“What’s wrong with this?” Tianle glanced curiously at the half jar of rice left and was immediately disgusted by the stickiness.

Xu Zirong released his blood vines without saying a word and manipulated several of them to rummage inside. After a while, one of the blood vines found a wooden doll from inside. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩

“Oh, what is this?” Tianle looked at the doll curiously, but he almost suffocated as soon as he got close.

Xu Zirong thoughtfully washed the doll with clean water before handing it to his brother.

“I don’t know either.” Xu Ziyan was also at a loss, as he just had the idea of checking the rice tank but he really didn’t know anything about the doll.

“I don’t know why you wanted to check it out.” Tianle didn’t believe it.

Xu Ziyan didn’t know how to explain this kind of intuition, but even if he said so, Tianle would not believe him.

“Just take it as my intuition.” Xu Ziyan just answered him briefly.

Tianle looked at Xu Ziyan thoughtfully and suddenly asked, “did you achieve everything smoothly before? And every time, you managed to turn bad luck into good luck, and you managed to get all kinds of treasures, even all kinds of women and men…well…I didn’t say the last sentence. Forget it.” Tianle resolutely swallowed the last sentence after Xu Zirong stared at him furiously.

Xu Ziyan was speechless, “what kind of nonsense is this? How could that have happened?!”

Tianle shrugged his shoulders, “that’s what is said in those novels. Male protagonists are always very lucky and they always have very smooth lives. I think yours is similar.”

Xu Ziyan was completely speechless. Was there ever a male protagonist? Of course! But that’s Bai Hua and it had completely nothing to do with himself!

Speaking of the surprise attack of the Xuan Jia sect, Bai Hua had never showed up ever since. No one had an idea where he’s hiding.

Thinking of Bai Hua, Xu Ziyan couldn’t help thinking of that np novel, and he wondered if the plots had become so messy because of his transmigration. The fate of many people had changed, and the unlucky Bai Hua had also changed from the original spiritual leader of Xuan Yuan realm to someone that everyone despised.

Xu Ziyan:==cough cough, speaking of which, it seemed that Bai Hua had become so miserable because of him…

After a moment of inexplicable guilt, Xu Ziyan quickly cheered up. Even though his butterfly flapped its wings and caused many things to change, the root cause was Bai Hua who didn’t behave.

If he had devoted himself to cultivating in Tian Yu sect from the beginning, how could things have developed this way?

After all, it’s just greed.

Xu Ziyan silently sighed for Bai Hua, as he didn’t feel any sympathy for him. He simply felt that Bai Hua was harming himself and destroying everything good around him.

“Cultivator Xu?” Tianle waved his hand in front of Xu Ziyan’s eyes, successfully regaining his attention.

“Huh? Sorry, I was a little distracted just now.” Xu Ziyan apologized.

“It’s okay, I just wanted to know if you really hadn’t come all this way smoothly. I’ve never come across any secret realm as smoothly as this time.” Tianle spread his hands, “are you really sure that you aren’t the destined male protagonist?”

Xu Ziyan’s heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely remembered the little snail in his Dantian.

He thought about something and he still looked calm. He just smiled slightly, “if I were the male protagonist of destiny, I wouldn’t have been chased and killed by that snow demon man back then.”

Tianle thought for a while, “you’re right, then maybe we’re just lucky today.”

Xu Ziyan smiled but he started wondering if Tianle was right – could he have snatched away Bai Hua’s role as the male lead after his transmigration?

It would be difficult to explain if it’s not the case, and how could Bai Hua have become what he was…

(Heaven: Hehe…you finally understood.)

“Brother, what are we going to do next?” Xu Zirong tugged on his brother’s sleeve seemingly inadvertently, taking advantage of Xu Ziyan’s position and blocked Tianle behind his brother.

Tianle: ……
