On a summer evening, the white gauze curtains were stained with an orange glow, and the room was silent.
Only the sound of soft, panting breaths could be heard.
Kiana stared blankly as Ye Feng pressed Jingliu against the wall, kissing her as if no one else was there. She felt a little unhappy.
This was her dorm room!
And besides, this young lady was right here!
Kiana had originally wanted to share her joy from the day with Ye Feng, but now she just wanted to punch him.
What a degenerate!
Kiana fumed internally. She didn't leave. She just stood there, glaring at Ye Feng, trying to kill him with her stare!
Hmph!
Several minutes later, watching Ye Feng and Jingliu kiss, Kiana grew restless.
Still kissing! They're still kissing!
Are you treating this young lady like she's thin air?
That bastard Ye Feng definitely knows I'm here, doesn't he?
He's doing it on purpose!
In a fit of rage, Kiana raged.
I'm staring~~~
All she could do was intensify her gaze, infusing it with even more fury.
Kiana wasn't angry at Ye Feng, she just felt that such a pure and ethereal woman shouldn't be sullied by this dog thief.
Hmm? On closer inspection, was this big sister being forced?
Kiana couldn't tell for a moment, because Jingliu's limp hands were now resting powerlessly on Ye Feng's shoulders.
Her intent had been to push him away, but she couldn't budge him.
To an observer, it looked very much like the two were passionately in love.
A few more minutes passed, and Kiana, who had been rooted to the spot, began to feel her body heat up.
Her legs were tired, so she shifted her hips and squatted down.
She clamped her thighs together tightly, propped her elbows on her knees, and cupped her hot cheeks in her hands—the little bug absolutely would not look away!
It felt as if doing so would mean she had lost.
She didn't know what she was competing against, but she just didn't want to lose.
The little bug's competitive spirit was especially strong when it came to Ye Feng.
A large part of the reason she had come running over so excitedly this time was to prove that she would win their previous "100 times bet"!
But this dog thief was here kissing another woman.
The sun had already set, and they were still kissing.
But the little bug seemed to have forgotten that the first time Ye Feng had kissed her, it had been for even longer, and with far more intensity.
The sky gradually darkened as night began to fall.
The streetlights outside the window lit up one after another.
Peeking through the gap between Ye Feng and Jingliu's kissing faces, Kiana could be seen squatting by the door, her cheeks puffed out.
The little bug stubbornly held her ground and refused to leave.
---o---
Finally, the two separated.
Jingliu was utterly limp, as if her strength had been siphoned away by a pump. If Ye Feng hadn't been holding her up, she would have slid down the wall like a boneless heap.
"Tasted pretty good."
Ye Feng gazed at the steaming Jingliu and licked his lips.
The summer day was sweltering.
Sweat trickled down Jingliu's flawless, jade-white arms. In the hazy twilight, the crystalline beads mingled, connecting her fingers with silvery threads.
"…"
The moon-like, pale-blue-haired sword immortal remained as cool as ever.
Her will was as unyielding as a rock.
She seemed completely unshaken.
Ye Feng turned his head and looked at Kiana, who was staring daggers at him.
Seeing Ye Feng's gaze finally turn to her, Kiana thought to herself: He's finally noticed this young lady. Hmph, if you apologize properly, it's not like I can't forgive you.
And then, she saw Ye Feng say with a look of pure innocence:
"Bug-bug, why are you still here?"
"Huh?"
That sentence completely stumped Kiana.
What did he mean, "why are you still here?"
Damn it! Weren't you the one who cried and begged to make a bet with me?!
Just before, when I was shouting no, you bastard still carried me to the bed and messed around with me!
Dog thief Ye Feng.
Kiana's fists clenched, the corners of her mouth twitching.
"It seems the rising temperature really does interfere with one's ability to think. Kiana, don't rush. If you have something to say, say it slowly."
"Heh."
Kiana let out a cold laugh. She stepped forward with her left leg, then swung her right leg high as if she were taking a powerful shot on goal. Her raised right leg and her straight left leg formed an almost perfect line.
The little bug was going to stomp Ye Feng viciously to vent the hatred in her heart.
Seeing this pose, Ye Feng couldn't help but be amused.
Another standing split?
He stepped forward, instantly closing the distance and entering Kiana's blind spot. Then, with a forward thrust, Kiana let out a muffled grunt. The power she had gathered dissipated, and her body instantly went soft, her right leg ending up draped over Ye Feng's shoulder.
"Leaving yourself wide open. Don't use this move in the future, Bug-bug."
"Get out!" Kiana grunted.
"Since Bug-bug offered herself up so proactively, how could I possibly refuse?"
"…Who offered themselves up? Stop trying to frame an innocent person, mmmph~"
Unsteady on her feet, Kiana's center of gravity shifted, and she leaned against Ye Feng's chest. Her hands came to rest on his shoulders, and then, with a toss of her hair, her arms unconsciously wrapped around his neck like vines.
The entire sequence of movements was as smooth as flowing water, completed in one fluid motion.
"Bug-bug has gotten quite skilled at this."
"…"
Kiana bit her lip and turned her head away, not wanting to deal with Ye Feng.
This guy could twist black into white.
She was only here because of the bet.
Besides, even if she said "let me go," would Ye Feng actually do it?
She might as well save her energy.
Kiana looked over at Jingliu, who had collapsed nearby. Her gaze first fell between the woman's legs… there was nothing there.
Only then did she realize a serious problem—there was an outsider present!
Although Mei had been there on two previous occasions, Mei hadn't known what was happening.
"Don't worry, she doesn't know either."
Ye Feng carried Kiana over to Jingliu. A flickering shadow fell over the peerless sword immortal's beautiful face.
Jingliu was blindfolded, her head hanging low as she sat slumped against the wall.
Flying droplets of sweat would occasionally land on the sword immortal's legs, which were stretched out straight in front of her.
---o---
Not long after Kiana's arrival, Jingliu's consciousness "returned."
Ye Feng and Kiana had a deep exchange, and he learned about the situation outside.
He could directly play back Kiana's "memories."
Chiyou had been brought completely under Higokumaru's control and had been transformed into an island in the sea.
Although Yae Sakura and Higokumaru were surrounded by suspicion, they still successfully enrolled at St. Freya.
The most interesting part was Ji Lin.
The way Ji Lin looked at Fu Hua was so tender, as if her gaze could almost draw silk.
"There's definitely something scandalous going on there."
Ye Feng couldn't help but curve his lips into a "hehehe" expression.
So the marriage proposals from the various clans were just a nuisance, forcing her into a sham union? It's clear Ji Lin was enjoying every moment of it.
Now that made things interesting.
"Your smile is so evil," Kiana said, her hands braced against Ye Feng's chest.
"Is it?"
"Mhm!"
"Alright, forget about that. I'm more curious about you, Bug-bug. Our bet was whether the number would break 100 within a week, right? Why did you come looking for me specifically? Wouldn't it be easier to win if you just hid for a week?"
"Huh? I would never cheat like that! The knightly spirit of House Kaslana is to always press forward!"
Kiana declared with righteous indignation, "I will defeat you fair and square and show you how formidable this young lady is!"
