The battle was in full swing.
A voice, gentle in just the right measure yet profoundly bewitching, surged against Ayiguli's eardrums and into her restless heart:
"Ayiguli, were you waiting for me?"
Ayiguli abruptly turned around. What she saw was Jiang Qian—yet somehow, not Jiang Qian?
The pupils in her violet eyes dilated slightly. She blinked in surprise, her expression conveying both the flutter of her heart and utter confusion.
In that instant, her love-struck brain was activated.
Because standing before her was Jiang Qian in the form of a Love Demon avatar.
Hidden in the shadows, Jiang Qian watched everything without changing expression. The first time he heard himself make that kind of voice, he instantly felt as though spiders were crawling all over him.
Then he saw Ayiguli's bashful reaction, and felt like the spiders all over him had started dancing.
It was unbearable!
In reality, spiders really were crawling all over him...
Including Ye Xiaojing, who was struggling and fighting amid the tide of spiders.
The surroundings were utter chaos, yet the two people overflowing with affection had eyes only for each other.
By now, Ayiguli had "awakened" from her initial amazement. Her heart trembled with both excitement and unease. She clearly wanted to stay vigilant, yet could not help succumbing to wishful thinking—she began actively rationalizing the hurtful things Jiang Qian had done to her before.
After a brief struggle, Ayiguli asked with a coquettish smile, "Brother Jiang, are you pleading for that female mantis?"
"Pleading? Heh..."
The Jiang Qian before her assumed an indifferent, hands-off attitude and turned a blind eye to Ye Xiaojing's plight. "What does she have to do with us?"
The corners of Ayiguli's lips rose involuntarily. The taste of victory intoxicated her.
"Us..."
She savored those words, letting her imagination run
