"What's going on!?"
Princess Nan Feng's face flushed, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
Whoosh!
Qin Feng chased Shiro all the way to the attic.
"Qin Feng!!"
Princess Nan Feng's expression shifted drastically. She quickly drew her long sword, pointing it at him.
No… why do I still want to bite him to death!?
Her mind screamed in shock. She shook her head violently, trying to regain composure.
"Finally, I've caught you!"
Qin Feng leapt into the room, grabbing Shiro by the ears.
'This little rascal nearly gave me a heart attack!' he thought. Shiro was a rabbit he had raised for seven years—worth a small fortune in both companionship and practicality. Losing it would have been catastrophic.
"You came at just the right time. I, Shiro, have already concluded the deal. Now it's your turn to make an appearance!"
Shiro proudly brandished a Spirit Stone, the biggest deal of its rabbit life.
"Make an appearance!?" Qin Feng blinked, bewildered.
"The master you spoke of… is Qin Feng!?"
Princess Nan Feng's eyes widened. Realization struck like lightning. She dropped the small bottle in her hand and stumbled backward, panic overtaking her.
"Otherwise!?" Shiro said innocently.
"You… you…"
Princess Nan Feng felt as if six of her seven Souls had been lost. She hastily circulated spiritual power to suppress the overwhelming sensation. Seven years of subtle preparation for this night now threatened to crumble. Ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones was a small price compared to what she felt.
But resistance was futile. Seconds passed, and her body seemed to betray her entirely.
"Qin Feng…"
Her eyes softened, brimming with love, like a princess from the Kingdom of Women seeing her Imperial Brother.
'Hey, calm down!' Qin Feng thought, half-heartedly trying to stop her. He wanted her to feel warmth, not lose herself completely.
At that moment—
Fang Chang appeared downstairs, clutching a bouquet of red roses. After a full day of reflection, he had convinced himself it was just an accident. Life required some concessions, he reasoned.
He had also resolved to join the Life and Death Elimination Competition to personally tear Qin Feng into pieces—revenge for the humiliation he'd suffered.
But the scene before him froze him in place.
Princess Nan Feng and Qin Feng leaned into each other like a perfect young couple, bathed in the bright moonlight.
Impossible… absolutely impossible!
Fang Chang's smile vanished, replaced with disbelief.
"Fang Chang!!"
Qin Feng looked down at him from above, the mischief in his eyes darkening. He pulled Princess Nan Feng into his arms. Her figure was soft, plump, and utterly irresistible. Her graceful waist curved like a willow branch, and the princess herself seemed lost in the moment.
Leaning close, he whispered, "You just said you like me… is that true!?"
"Of course, it's true!"
Princess Nan Feng's eyes sparkled with affection. She was utterly enthralled, unable to extricate herself.
Fang Chang staggered, feeling as if his head had been crushed by a hammer. His body wavered, his balance gone.
How could this be!? Only two encounters, and it's already stronger than seven years of affection!
[System: Ding dong, congratulations Host for completing 50% of the Prime Minister's Ambition quest!]
[System: Ding dong, congratulations Host for acting against the Chosen One's White Moonlight, gaining 200,000 Villain Points!]
Holy crap!
Qin Feng's eyes gleamed. He pressed closer and asked into her ear, "Between me and Fang Chang… who do you dislike the most!?"
"Fang Chang!?"
The words hit Princess Nan Feng like a cold bucket of water. Rationality returned to her eyes, if only for a moment.
But to Fang Chang… it sounded like a declaration.
Boom!
Fang Chang's mind erupted in thunder. The red roses dropped from his hand. His soul felt drained, leaving a walking corpse in its place.
It had all been for nothing!!
[System: Ding dong, congratulations Host for completing the Prime Minister's Will quest, gaining Divine Rank Treasure Chest * 1.]
[System: Ding dong, congratulations Host for making the Chosen One no longer believe in love, gaining 500,000 Villain Points!]
500,000!!
A surge of golden excitement blazed in Qin Feng's eyes.
"Ah…"
Fang Chang's departure was that of a corpse in life. His spirit dulled, his former vigor gone. He looked up at the shenanigans from the attic, barely able to muster a powerless roar.
Why!? How can seven years of affection compare to meeting Qin Feng twice!?
"Qin Feng, I will tear you to pieces!!"
Fang Chang's roar shook the night. His hair disheveled, his aura turned vicious. The golden Great Buddha he had released twisted black.
Cultivating good is hard, becoming a demon is easy!
[System: Ding dong, congratulations Host for forcing the Chosen One to become a demon, gaining one lottery chance!]
"Did he really just blacken like that!?" Qin Feng thought, dumbfounded. Previously, protagonists at least needed repeated setbacks to become a demon. A single romance, and Fang Chang had snapped, ready to destroy the world for love.
Who's the villain here, again!?
Despite the chaos, blackened Fang Chang radiated terrifying energy from a distance.
"Blackening makes one ten times stronger!" Qin Feng muttered, recalling his web novel lessons. He would need to be fully prepared next time.
"Qin Feng, you despicable and shameless scoundrel…"
Princess Nan Feng finally regained control. She pushed him away, struggling to suppress her own desires.
"What does that have to do with me!?"
Qin Feng grabbed Shiro by the ears, his expression exaggeratedly wronged. "You were the one making a deal with Shiro! You've taken all the advantages. I'm the victim here, okay!?"
"What do you mean? This deal fell through!?"
Shiro let out a desperate squeal, firmly refusing any refunds.
"Get out of here!!"
Princess Nan Feng gritted her teeth, wishing only for Qin Feng to disappear from her sight.
"As if I care about you!"
Qin Feng thought of the powerful elder in the Great Xia envoy group. Now that the mission was complete, he needed to hurry back to upgrade his equipment. Once ready, he could return to 'teach' Nan Feng Princess a lesson.
"I, Shiro, will not refund the money, but I, Shiro, am a rabbit who understands rules. The deal may be off, but goodwill remains. This can help you detoxify."
Shiro dramatically placed a carrot on the table, then vanished into the night with Qin Feng.
"A carrot can detoxify?!" (T/ I hate my mind)
Princess Nan Feng blinked at the carrot, conflicted, and cautiously nibbled…
