Chapter 78 Yu Lei's Plans (3)

"You want to seize control of the world, just like this Qin Tian character, don't you?" she asked, her voice filled with a sense of wonder, as if she wholeheartedly supported Zhang Wei's grand ambitions.

Although Zhang Wei couldn't fathom where she had acquired such a peculiar idea, he began reading a few pages and, in an instant, understood her intentions crystal clear.

The story she referred to depicted the journey of Qin Tian, a reincarnated cultivator from another realm, whose family had been ruthlessly slaughtered in an act of betrayal.

Upon arriving on Earth, his primary objective became to establish dominion, amassing power before ascending to higher realms and exacting his revenge.

Rather than building his own force from scratch, Qin Tian astutely manipulated the existing powers of the world, capitalizing on their inherent efficiency.

Through his control over the daughters of influential and affluent families, he indirectly governed the entire planet, effectively becoming its ruler.

Zhang Wei let out a deep sigh as he closed her phone and handed it back to her.

He couldn't help but stare at her with suspicion, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Why were you even reading something like this?" he asked, his tone edged with concern.

While he could understand her fascination with novels that catered to women's fantasies, he found it difficult to comprehend why she was so engrossed in a story of this genre.

Yu Lei looked back at him, her expression slightly troubled.

She hesitated for a moment before launching into an explanation of the main female lead in the book she had been reading.

Apparently, the main female lead had died and been reincarnated, and the rest of the plot was predictable.

It appears that under the guise of a harem novel, the story actually focuses solely on the undying love of the main female lead, while treating the other female characters as mere side characters.

As she described the story's focus on undying love, Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow, wondering what possessed the author to add such an element to a harem story.

He couldn't quite understand why Yu Lei was so drawn to it.

Despite his misgivings, Zhang Wei listened patiently as Yu Lei expressed her enthusiasm for the novel. "This plan is indeed better than the plans made by me," she declared, sounding impressed. "As expected of the husband! Wise as ever!"

Zhang Wei's expression remained blank as he processed the events that had just occurred.

Though he appreciated her compliments, he couldn't help wondering why she had so gravely misunderstood the situation.

Yu Lei continued to reveal the future plan for Zhang Wei to conquer the world, her eyes sparkling with a fierce determination.

She had already thought of everything, down to the strategies to deal with her adversaries.

"Husband, don't you worry about a thing! I'll make sure any woman who tries to trick you will regret it! You can be bold and seduce those general's daughters without fear!" she threatened, while twirling a small kitchen knife in her hand.

Zhang Wei's eyes narrowed, his suspicion growing. "Give me that knife!" he demanded, snatching it away from her.

"Where did you even get this?" he asked perplexed.

As he held the knife, his confusion only deepened.

Hadn't he already taken it from her?

Where had she gotten a second one from?

Yu Lei blinked and casually opened the drawer of the nightstand beside her.

Suddenly, the room was engulfed in a blinding light, reflecting off countless knives and blades stored meticulously inside.

The glint of sharp blades sent chills down Zhang Wei's spine as he stared in disbelief.

Zhang Wei pretended to maintain an composed demeanor, though his eyes narrowed slightly as he regarded the innocent expression on his wife's face. "Tell me, Yu Lei," he said, his voice steady, "what lies within the depths of the second drawer? Is it yet another collection of knives?"

Without hesitation, Yu Lei nodded, "Uh-huh!" she eagerly and opened the second drawer, revealing a treasure trove of gleaming, razor-sharp blades.

The sight was enough to make Zhang Wei's face twitch.

It was at that moment that Zhang Wei realized why the system had urgently warned him to flee. In a cautious move, he leaned to his left and pulled open the drawers of his nightstand, fully expecting to find something different.

However, to his astonishment, each drawer was crammed with an assortment of knives, daggers, and other deadly weapons.

With a mix of concern and curiosity, Zhang Wei couldn't help but question Yu Lei, "My dear wife, how on earth did we amass such a vast collection of knives?"

Yu Lei, unfazed by the inquiry, beamed at him and cheerfully responded, "Oh, those are for you, and these are for me!"

Her words were accompanied by a playful gesture, indicating the division of weaponry between them.

Zhang Wei shook his head, a bemused smile playing on his lips. "Yu Lei, I mean, when did you bought so many knives?"

"Today," she replied with nonchalant simplicity, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The casualness of her response left Zhang Wei both amused and slightly bewildered, wondering if her mind is broken.

'Has she completely lost her mind, System?' Zhang Wei asked in disbelief.

[I think you should let her handle this.] The System replied.

'Handle what?'

[The plans. She can really help you out in fishing for women with bad intentions and might as well save you from being assassinated in your sleep.]

Zhang Wei glanced suspiciously at Yu Lei.

Could she be capable of such things?

'But when have I ever had a plan to conquer the world?'

Even if he were to entertain the idea suggested by system, conquering the world had never been on Zhang Wei's agenda.

His desires revolved around the enjoyment of the company of beautiful women, not ruling over nations.

[You can seduce some foreign princesses to demonstrate your dedication], the System piped up. [It's a win-win for both sides.]

Zhang Wei was caught completely off-guard.

He couldn't believe what he had heard and fell silent, trying to imagine what it would be like surrounded by dazzling Middle Eastern princesses while their fathers and brothers seethed with anger.

'Remember your words, System!' he exclaimed, feeling mischievous, 'You can't back out now! You said you'd help me when the time comes! After all, I can't dodge nuclear missiles!'

[Huh? When did I say that, Host?] the System asked, confused.

'You did, but you just don't remember,' Zhang Wei responded sternly.

He couldn't let the System slither out of its responsibility to protect him.

[....]

The System was utterly speechless.

This was the second time it had felt gaslighted by its own host.
