The Love Trickster

"Whoosh..."

Above the Inner Academy of Canaan, a swift, blurry figure swept down, taking advantage of the darkness to head directly towards a dormitory building.

The shadowy figure silently climbed from downstairs onto the balcony, then slipped into the room and began rummaging through drawers and closets looking for clothes.

"Huh, why is my wardrobe full of men's clothes?" Ye Qianqian looked at the clothes and felt it was strange; she hadn't bought any men's clothing!

"Forget it, I'm not looking anymore."

She gave up the search. It was already late at night, so she figured she might as well get into bed and go to sleep. She was exhausted after the night, having survived so many close calls, and she was almost completely drained.

Reaching the bedside, Ye Qianqian didn't think much of it and slipped naked into the covers.

However, the bed was very warm, which made her stretch comfortably.

Suddenly, she felt something warm behind her, like a furnace, and instinctively touched it. Instantly, her face turned ashen.

There was a pair of male eyes in the bed, staring blankly at her.

"Ugh, you filthy scoundrel!"

Ye Qianqian screamed loudly and kicked the man out of the bed.

The man howled in pain, flew off the bed, and rolled onto the ground. He then conjured a ball of flame, illuminating the dark room.

It turns out this man is Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was only wearing a pair of shorts and was sleeping soundly in the room when, unexpectedly, a soft and fragrant body suddenly crawled into his bed without him noticing, which terrified him.

"Arale, what are you doing in my room?" Xiao Yan covered his lower abdomen with one hand, thankful that the kick hadn't hurt his happiness, otherwise he would have become a eunuch.

Looking at Ye Qianqian, who was lying on the bed completely naked, wrapped tightly in the blanket, looking pitiful and flustered, Xiao Yan's Ye Qianqian abdomen instantly ignited a lustful fire.

"Wh... what, this is... your room?" Ye Qianqian's scalp tingled, as if struck by lightning. Damn it, she made a mistake in her haste and went into the wrong room.

Xiao Yan had a habit of relaxing while sleeping, so he usually just wore boxer shorts to bed. Who would have thought that such a beautiful young woman would crawl into his bed tonight? How could he possibly resist?

At this moment, Xiao Yan's physique caught Ye Qianqian's eye. This Xiao Yan was quite well-endowed. Without even looking closely, she could see his broad and strong chest muscles, his powerful arms, and his eight evenly distributed abdominal muscles, which were comparable to those of bodybuilders in her previous life.

What happened?

Ye Qianqian's scream just now drew the attention of Wu Hao, Hu Jia, and Gu Xun Er in the entire dormitory building. Everyone appeared outside Xiao Yan's door and was about to push it open.

"Oops!"

Xiao Yan realized he was in trouble; he was only wearing shorts. In a moment of panic, he rushed back to bed and fought with Ye Qianqian for the blanket.

Ye Qianqian, who was not wearing any clothes, panicked instantly. How could she let Xiao Yan take away the blanket? She hurriedly snatched the blanket back, but she couldn't stop Xiao Yan from burrowing into the blanket. The two of them covered each other with the blanket, making the big bed shake and occasionally letting out shouts. A war broke out in the blanket.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, the lights were turned on, and Wu Hao and his two companions filed in, witnessing the scene unfold before their eyes.

"Bite"

Congratulations, host, you have gained 1000 Shock Points from Wu Hao.

Congratulations, host, you have gained 1000 Shock Points from Hu Jia.

Congratulations, host, you have gained 10,000 Shock Points from Gu Xun Er.

When Ye Qianqian came in, they didn't see it, but instead saw Xiao Yan and Ye Qianqian rolling around in bed. At the same time, Ye Qianqian's face turned pale with fright, and she gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, asserting her ownership of it.

"Xiao Yan, you dare to bully my sister? I'll beat you to death!" Wu Hao was furious. He thought that Ye Qianqian had been tricked into the house by Xiao Yan with improper means and that he intended to do something bad to her. He grabbed Xiao Yan by the back of the neck, dragged him off the bed, and started punching and kicking him.

Xiao Yan had no way to express his suffering and could only endure the beating.

The two of them appeared naked on the bed. Gu Xun Er was stunned. Her heart shattered in two, and tears welled up in her eyes.

But Gu Xun Er refused to accept this reality, secretly believing that it must be that bitch Arale who seduced Brother Xiao Yan. Yes, it must be.

Pushing Wu Hao aside, Gu Xun Er shielded the battered Xiao Yan behind her, saying, "Wu Hao, what right do you have to hit Brother Xiao Yan? What makes you so sure that Brother Xiao Yan is going to do something inappropriate to Arale?" Gu Xun Er was filled with righteous indignation, pointing angrily at Ye Qianqian on the bed, "I even think that this bitch is deliberately seducing Brother Xiao Yan!"

"You..." Wu Hao was furious at Gu Xun Er's words, and he no longer had any affection for Gu Xun Er.

Ye Qianqian didn't care. She tidied her messy hair. Why did Gu Xun Er make her feel so annoyed? Speaking of which, she hadn't settled the score with Gu Xun Er for deliberately pushing her into the Sha Tie during the last Fire Energy Hunting Competition. She might as well settle it with Gu Xun'er today.

You like Xiao Yan, right? Well, I'll give you a piece of my mind and make you heartbroken. It'll be my way of getting back at you for what happened last time.

"Waaaaah..." Ye Qianqian immediately began to sob, secretly releasing some of the power of the Mero Mero no Mi, and cried to Wu Hao, "Brother, don't be angry. Xun'er is right. Arale is indeed a slut, which is why she deliberately climbed into Brother Xiao Yan's bed. Actually, ever since Brother Xiao Yan appeared at the Jia Nan Academy, Arale has secretly fallen for him. In Arale's heart, Brother Xiao Yan is a peerless hero just like my brother. Arale likes him, but she has never had the courage to confess. It's all Arale's fault, not Brother Xiao Yan's fault."

"Bite"

Congratulations, host, you have gained 1000 Shock Points from Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was completely taken aback by Ye Qianqian and became momentarily dazed. This little devil actually liked him deeply?

Do you consider him a peerless hero?

Unbelievable!

It's said that beauties love heroes, but heroes also love beauties! This girl's looks and temperament are on par with Gu Xun Er's Gu Xun Er, and she might even be slightly better in terms of temperament. She's actually his secret admirer.

"Arale, this isn't your fault, it's my fault."

Under the allure of the Mero Mero no Mi, Xiao Yan was unaware of what he was saying. He blurted out this sentence, which instantly shattered Gu Xun Er's spirit. She foolishly defended Xiao Yan, but what was he doing?

"Xiao Yan, I hate you!"

Gu Xun Er covered her face and wept, heartbroken, and ran out the door.

"Xun'er! Xun'er! Let me explain!" Xiao Yan realized he might have said something wrong and hurriedly called out, but he couldn't stop Gu Xun Er from leaving.

Hu Jia, standing to the side, sullenly thought, "What's so great about men? Fighting and crying over a man like that, it's better to just find her... cough cough..."

For the entire latter half of the night, no one in the Inner Academy slept well.

This night was anything but peaceful. First, a mysterious powerful figure descended upon the Inner Academy, destroying a large portion of the buildings. Then, this emotional entanglement occurred, adding an excessive amount of spice to our otherwise mundane lives.

The next morning, everyone was still sleepy and yawning, except for Ye Qianqian, that shameless old rascal, who was refreshed and acted as if nothing had happened.

Gu Xun Er opened the door. She hadn't touched up her makeup, her face looked extremely haggard, and there were many tear stains in her eyes, indicating that she had cried last night.

"Xun'er, let me explain." At this moment, Xiao Yan hurriedly came to Gu Xun Er, his face showing some confusion, not knowing where to begin.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you don't need to explain. Xun'er was in the wrong last night. Brother Xiao Yan is an outstanding person, it's normal for several girls to like him. Xun'er isn't jealous!"

Contrary to her usual behavior, Gu Xun Er forced a smile and put on a tolerant demeanor befitting a first wife, leaving Xiao Yan stunned.

"Xun'er, you really forgive me?" Xiao Yan was overjoyed and couldn't believe it. He never expected his Xun'er to be so understanding. This was wonderful.

"Let's go downstairs for breakfast together!"

"Okay, Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Yan grabbed Gu Xun Er's small hand and led her downstairs, which helped Gu Xun Er regain some confidence.

Xiao Yan and she were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little. How could such a bond be compared to that of that little brat, Arale?

Just then, a delicious aroma wafted from the first floor, instantly whetting everyone's appetite.

But then Ye Qianqian, wearing a small apron, brought plates of tasteless dishes to the table.

Ye Qianqian planned to treat herself to a good meal today. Last night's battle had left her in a tense state, and cooking was the only way to relieve her stress.

So she redeemed a Little Master Chef's cookbook from the system, cooked a sumptuous meal herself, and was just about to enjoy it when she suddenly heard Hu Jia teasing her from the side.

"Arale, you actually cooked for Xiao Yan yourself just to win him over!"

"How could that be... uh... yes, yes, you're right..." Ye Qianqian was about to deny it, but when she saw Gu Xun Er being pulled downstairs by Xiao Yan, her eyes immediately darted around, and she was filled with mischievous thoughts.

Ye Qianqian quickly brought a plate of delicious food to Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, Arale made a lot of delicious food for you. Why don't you try some?"

Xiao Yan, "..."

Poor guy, he had just calmed Gu Xun Er down, and now he's run into this headache again as soon as he goes downstairs. What is he going to do?

"Tasty!"

Unable to refuse the hospitality, Xiao Yan tentatively took a bite. His eyes lit up instantly; this was the first time he had ever tasted such delicious food. Stimulated by his taste buds, he began to devour it.

"If it tastes good, then I'll make it for Brother Xiao Yan every day from Arale on," Ye Qianqian said with a shameless grin as she saw Gu Xun Er's ashen face.

"Okay, okay, okay," Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly, currently immersed in the temptation of the food. He then looked at Gu Xun Er and said, "Xun'er, aren't you going to eat? Arale's cooking is really good."

"I'm not eating, I have no appetite!" Gu Xun Er was so angry at Xiao Yan's appearance that she gritted her teeth and strode out of the dormitory building.

Ye Qianqian smiled smugly. "Trying to compete with me? You think you're qualified?"

Seeing everyone start eating, she also began to eat voraciously. After transforming into a true dragon, her appetite increased several times over. She quickly devoured the mountain of food and was still somewhat unsatisfied. She then shamelessly snatched the food from Wu Hao Xiao Yan, Hu Jia, and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked completely bewildered. "Arale, didn't you say this was for me?"

Ye Qianqian, her mouth stuffed with food, waved her hand and said, "Get out of here, all of you, get out of here..."

Everyone was speechless.

Ye Qianqian, you're shameless!!!
