#933 - This is the personality charm that a villain would never have.

Although it might be difficult for others to find Zhili, for Xu Quan, the Son of Heaven, finding a great demon was very simple.

He just didn't know what she wanted to do with Zhili.

"You dare to show your face?"

Staring intently at Xu Quan, Zhili's eyes were red, and her voice was as cold as winter.

She almost forcibly suppressed the urge to kill the man in front of her, sneering word by word:

"What? Are you here to keep an eye on me?"

"Heh heh, don't worry."

"Before I kill all of you, I won't leave."

"..."

Behind her, the small lake rippled intensely, and an invisible killing intent permeated the air.

Zhili's words were both an outburst and her true intention.

After being deceived once and seeing how shameless Wei Changtian could be, she wouldn't be fooled a second time, no matter how foolish she was.

Zhili understood that even if she really went to the Great Qian capital with Wei Changtian, the latter would not return the Sacred Fruit.

Since that was the case, all she could do was seek revenge.

Of course, Zhili knew very well that she couldn't do it now, and it was hard to say whether she could even escape from Linchuan.

But as long as she could live, she would spend her whole life looking for an opportunity to retaliate against Wei Changtian.

Including Xu Quan and Yang Liushi, these two "accomplices."

Therefore, if Zhili wasn't afraid that Xu Quan's appearance was a trap, she probably would have slapped him already.

Even though she was wary in her heart, the unparalleled anger still made her slowly raise her hand, as if she couldn't help but swing it at any moment, blasting this man who had deceived her to death on the spot.

The ripples on the lake became more and more激荡, her white dress swayed in the wind, and her long hair fell on her tightly bitten lips.

Whether to kill someone first at all costs or to temporarily endure and save her life, Zhili's eyes were filled with unwillingness and disgust, as if she would make a choice in the next moment.

Faced with all of this, Xu Quan didn't say a word, but shook his head slightly with a complicated expression, and then took out three purple fruits from his arms in Zhili's suddenly stunned gaze.

"..."

Taking a step forward, Xu Quan seemed to want to hand the Sacred Fruit to Zhili.

But the latter took a step back, her expression becoming more vigilant.

"... I'll just put it here."

Slightly stunned, Xu Quan didn't get any closer, but bent down and gently placed the Sacred Fruit on the ground, and then retreated a few steps away.

The warm summer breeze blew, and the two were now about six or seven steps apart.

The three fruits emitting a mysterious aura were located right in the middle of the two, lying quietly on a white stone, refracting a faint purple light in the sunlight.

"What trick are you playing?"

Looking at the three Sacred Fruits, Zhili's breathing couldn't help but become a little rapid.

But she didn't act rashly, but looked up at Xu Quan and said incredibly coldly:

"This is a trap."

"... Demon Queen, this is not a trap."

Lowering his head, Xu Quan seemed to sigh, his tone also a little difficult.

"I once said that I would do my best to do anything I promised."

"Since we had already agreed that as long as you brought the demon soldiers to Linchuan, I would return the three Sacred Fruits, then now I naturally have to fulfill my promise."

"Now the Sacred Fruit is here, you should be able to tell whether it is real or fake."

"So... just take it."

After hesitating for a while, she quickly made a decision.

A moment later, she carefully stimulated a wisp of internal force, slowly wrapping the Sacred Fruit back into her hand.

Crystal clear like jade, round like a pearl, the unique aura was weak but real.

It's real!

Xu Quan didn't lie to her! He actually returned the Sacred Fruit!

Suddenly widening her eyes, Zhili subconsciously looked up at the back that had already walked away.

Then, she didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly blurted out:

"Wait, wait!"

"You, you stop for this Queen!"

"..."

There was no longer the previous hatred and ferocity, but a bit more eagerness and doubt, and even inexplicably chased a few steps towards that back.

Seeming to realize that her behavior was a bit "inexplicable", Zhili quickly slowed down her pace again, and walked slowly with a straight face to Xu Quan who had stopped and turned around.

"Did Wei Changtian order you to return the Sacred Fruit to this Queen?"

Her voice became cold again, but this time it didn't seem so sincere.

Zhili asked Xu Quan the most critical question, and the latter was silent for a long time before shaking his head gently.

"No."

"..."

Xu Quan didn't lie to Zhili, everything just now was indeed not Wei Changtian's intention.

He himself decided to fulfill his promise and return the Sacred Fruit as agreed.

Undoubtedly, in the eyes of most people, this behavior was undoubtedly a "betrayal."

After all, Xu Quan was always on Wei Changtian's side, even if the latter was耍无赖, he might be able to persuade him, but he should never make things that would harm Wei Changtian's interests without authorization.

This is not a question of which comes first, "morality" or "loyalty."

If you have to compare it this way, it is "morality towards the enemy" and "loyalty to your own people."

Then, the person who chooses the former is undoubtedly a traitor.

For this reason, Xu Quan was not without hesitation, and it can even be said that this was the most difficult choice he had ever faced.

But in the end, he still chose to abide by his promise to Zhili.

This may be related to the fact that he and Wei Changtian are not strictly "superior and subordinate" relationship.

But more importantly, it was because of his life creed of "always keeping his word."

Xu Quan knew that he couldn't persuade Wei Changtian, so he could only do this.

Maybe this is indeed a betrayal, maybe it will make him pay a very heavy price, maybe it will even drag down Xu Sui Sui.

But Xu Quan never regretted it.

Because in his opinion, he just did the right thing.

"Demon Queen, go back to Changliu Mountain earlier."

Looking at Zhili with a complicated expression, Xu Quan said softly:

"In any case, you have already obtained the Sacred Fruit, so don't think about revenge anymore."

"You are not the Young Master's opponent, as long as you don't seek your own death, the Young Master probably won't bother you."

"What about you?"

Suddenly, Zhili interrupted Xu Quan coldly: "You returned the Sacred Fruit to me, aren't you afraid that Wei Changtian will kill you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Demon Queen, I think Young Master won't."

Xu Quan smiled, his tone relaxed: "Besides, this has nothing to do with you anymore, you just need to know that not all humans are untrustworthy."

"Okay, that's it."

"We'll meet again if we're destined to."

Waving his hand, Xu Quan was now thinking about how to explain to Wei Changtian when he went back later, so he didn't say much to Zhili, and turned to leave.

But in the next moment, Zhili bit her lip and suddenly walked two steps quickly to catch up with him.

"Huh? Demon Queen, I don't know if you still have..."

"I'll go back with you!"
