Chapter 53: The Villain in a Book Crossing Over Gets His Heart Voice Stolen by the Protagonist and Runs Away
"Can't you just hit me? Then we can move on to the next step." Wang Shenxing finally managed to say after a long pause.
"No way, if you lie down and accuse me, what can I do? An ordinary person would just make me pay compensation, but with your status, you could send me to prison." Qin Muye said with a straight face, as if he had figured something out.
This scoundrel, so far, didn't seem evil at all. Instead, he appeared quite normal, unaffected by the "stupidity aura" and "mocking aura," and kept trying to provoke him, suggesting there was some hidden agenda.
Shen Qingqing, standing to the side, seemed to be enjoying the show, completely different from her impatient demeanor earlier.
'This situation is getting interesting.' Qin Muye recalled a popular genre of novels from his previous life where the villain in a book crossing over had their heart voice stolen, and then the protagonist would use this to humiliate them.
In this narrative, the Time Traveler, known as the "Book Crosser," assumes the role of the antagonist. Initially, they appear to be outwitted and embarrassed by the hero, but in a surprising twist, they turn the situation around. The Book Crosser cunningly takes possession of the protagonist's prized possessions, including their romantic interests and valuable treasures. This unexpected reversal adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the story, as the villain emerges victorious, leaving the hero in a state of defeat and despair.
Qin Muye now understood why he only had the "stupidity aura" and "mocking aura." The so-called "protagonist aura" and "romantic luck" were likely on Wang Shenxing.
That meant he was the unlucky one.
Not only had he lost his original protagonist treatment, but he had also taken on the negative aspects.
That was why he had to survive for 30 days.
In other words, he was now the villain, not the protagonist, and the one in front of him was the actual protagonist.
From now on, various smooth events would be filled with twists. If it were the original Asura Dragon King, nothing would go wrong, but with Qin Muye, who knew what would happen?
"Do you think I would extort you with my status? Regardless of anything else, I..." Wang Shenxing probed and provoked Qin Muye, trying to make him lose his composure.
"Oh, alright, President Shen, you can vouch for me, don't accuse me later." Qin Muye didn't wait for Wang Shenxing to finish and agreed, then came out of the security booth and stood in front of Wang Shenxing.
He reached out and lightly slapped Wang Shenxing's face.

"Ahem, you little security guard, I'll remember this. You just wait, I won't give up on Qingqing. Next time, I won't let you off so easily." Despite feeling a bit embarrassed, Wang Shenxing still finished his lines.
Then, he turned and walked away without looking back. But how could Qin Muye let him leave? "Young Master, hold on. After such a performance, won't you invite me for a cup of tea? After all, we'll have to look out for each other in the future."
Saying this, Qin Muye followed him closely.
This made Wang Shenxing pause, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.
Qin Muye was taken aback by this, wondering how he managed to make his eyes flash like that when he couldn't do it himself.
"Oh, what act does Brother Xiao want to perform?" Wang Shenxing had his own suspicions, after all, the protagonist in this cycle was vastly different from the previous ones.
"Not here, it's not appropriate." Qin Muye glanced at Shen Qingqing and said.
Wang Shenxing nodded. "Indeed, it's not appropriate. Since Brother Xiao has asked, I can't be stingy with a cup of tea."
The current Wang Shenxing showed no trace of the sycophant from earlier, not even glancing at Shen Qingqing as he left with Qin Muye.
This made Shen Qingqing so angry she gritted her teeth but couldn't follow them. In a huff, she stormed into the Shen Corporation building.
In a teahouse, the security guard and the young master were chatting and drinking tea.
"Young Master Wang, your acting skills are impressive. If it were someone else, it might have taken much longer."
Qin Muye took a sip of tea and said with a hidden meaning.
For Wang Shenxing, this was a straightforward statement, even if others might be ambiguous about it.
"Brother Xiao, it's your first time here, right? You're not quite used to it yet." Wang Shenxing also spoke ambiguously, hinting that this was Brother Xiao's first time crossing over.
"It seems Young Master Wang isn't a first-timer. Let's be frank. If you have any needs, Young Master Wang can speak up, and I'll cooperate. But if I have any needs, I'll also need Young Master Wang's help. After all, we are of the same kind, both thinking about going back."
Qin Muye's words contained two probes: first, that they both needed to complete plot nodes, and second, that they both wanted to return.
Wang Shenxing's eyes narrowed. "Alright, but I wonder about Brother Xiao's background?"
"Just a small scholar. By the way, doesn't Young Master Wang think what we're doing is a bit low? I want to live differently." Qin Muye said.
"Scholar? I wonder how Brother Xiao wants to live differently?" Wang Shenxing was a bit confused. Honestly, if he were to change his way of living, he wouldn't know how to do it either, considering his previous cycles were all about being humiliated.
"I don't have any great abilities, and I arrived suddenly without inheriting anything, so I know nothing about this world. But being able to pursue the president of Shen Corporation and being a young master suggests a distinguished family background. I want your father to help me get introduced to the higher-ups in the country, preferably in the field of research. I will certainly repay you generously."
Hearing this, Wang Shenxing was a bit at a loss. Wasn't this a bit too much of a leap?
The Asura Dragon King doing research? This completely overturned his worldview. After all, in his impression, the Asura Dragon King was the epitome of overpowered.
"Alright, but you need to cooperate fully." Wang Shenxing said hesitantly.
"Rest assured, Young Master Wang. I'm a man of my word. After all, we need to work together to achieve our goals." Qin Muye indicated that he was not the overpowered type but a normal person.
Honestly, facing an Asura Dragon King who had changed his core and was now like him, Wang Shenxing felt more at ease. Who would willingly be beaten and humiliated? Of course, it was better to work together for mutual benefit.
With the Asura Dragon King's cooperation, completing the plot as the villain would naturally be easier.
"Since that's the case, let's have a pleasant cooperation. Let this tea stand in for wine." Wang Shenxing finished the cup of tea in one gulp.
Qin Muye naturally gave him the face.
"There's one more thing. Young Master Wang, be careful. I suspect the protagonist's aura has been split between us." Qin Muye added.
"Are you the protagonist?" This time, Wang Shenxing was genuinely surprised.
"I also know that Young Master Wang is a supporting character, but now you shouldn't be. You should be a protagonist as well, but you need to be careful about the women around you. I suspect Shen Qingqing knows some of your secrets, like hearing your inner voice. Be cautious."
"Under normal circumstances, she should despise you, but before leaving, her emotions were clearly off. This clearly indicates a problem."
Qin Muye kindly warned him but kept the fact that he didn't have the protagonist's aura to himself.
"I'll be careful, but isn't having the protagonist's aura a good thing?" Wang Shenxing was a bit puzzled.
"Perhaps in other worlds, but what if the dragon slayer becomes the dragon? Are you sure that after becoming the protagonist, you won't follow the path of my predecessor and be gradually replaced by another book crosser?"
"Or, more straightforwardly, what if the promise of returning is just a lie?" Qin Muye's words were shocking and thought-provoking.
