    25 Yan Meng’er Changes Tactics

    In the Mystic Academy, Intermediate Class 1, Yan Zhen was still not listening to the lecture, but continued to study drawing the fire talisman.

    [Ding! System’s gentle reminder: This cultivation process can be skipped]

    Yan Zhen came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief, “I’ve been waiting for you to say that, System dear. Quickly skip.”

    The scene before his eyes suddenly changed. Yan Zhen found himself no longer in the classroom, but in the crystal space.

    His beautiful master sat beside him, her jade-like finger tapping the yellow paper in front of him, saying indifferently, “Zhen’er, don’t be distracted. Continue drawing.”

    Yan Zhen blinked and hurriedly continued to bury his head in hard work, but he called out to the system in his mind.

    –What’s going on, System dear? Why am I still drawing the fire talisman? I’ve only changed locations.

    [This cultivation process cannot be directly skipped to the end. There will be intermittent interactive plot points in between.]

    –Interaction refers to my beautiful master’s guidance? Alright then.

    What the system could skip was only his one-man show and some unimportant daily routines. Key interactions with key characters couldn’t be skipped.

    Yan Zhen had long understood this point, so he wasn’t disappointed. After all, with his beautiful master by his side like this, drawing the fire talisman didn’t seem boring.

    This time point should be in the evening. Only in the evening did he have time to enter the crystal space and receive his beautiful master’s guidance.

    Probably around midnight, Yan Zhen stopped the brush, yawned wearily, and felt pangs of pain between his eyebrows.

    This was a side effect of the divine soul palpitation.

    Divine soul palpitation meant that he would soon be able to mobilize his spiritual power.

    “Let’s stop here for today, Zhen’er. It’s time to rest.”

    Chen Xi supported Yan Zhen’s shoulders, indicating for him to lie down and rest his head on her lap.

    “Next, this master will give you a head massage to eliminate the aftereffects caused by the divine soul palpitation.”

    “Thank you, Master.”

    Yan Zhen rested his head on his beautiful master’s soft and bouncy jade-like thighs, obediently closing his eyes, enjoying her boneless-like little hands kneading near his temples. Strands of mystic power seeped into his acupuncture points, quickly alleviating his fatigue.

    Soon, Yan Zhen fell asleep. Chen Xi also stopped the massage, her left jade-like fingers playing with one of his ears, while her right hand stroked back and forth near his chin.

    Chen Xi wanted to have more physical contact with her disciple, but too much would make her seem like a promiscuous master. She could only satisfy herself after he fell asleep.

    It didn’t have to be in a lewd aspect. Just touching him made Chen Xi feel happy.

    Because she had suppressed herself too much and too harshly in her previous life, she now showed a strong rebound.

    After dawn, Chen Xi reluctantly sent Yan Zhen back to his bed.

    It wasn’t until Yan Meng’er knocked on the door that Yan Zhen woke up, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and ate breakfast.

    During the meal, Yan Meng’er came over and said coquettishly, “Cousin, Meng’er has something to tell you~”

    Yan Zhen swallowed a steamed bun in one bite, “Go ahead and say it.”

    Yan Meng’er blinked her limpid black eyes and said shyly, “Cousin, did you mean what you said last time in the cafeteria?”

    Yan Zhen threw another steamed bun into his mouth, “Last time was which time? What did I say?”

    Who knows which time it was, eating and chatting in the cafeteria every day.

    “It was when you told Lan Ke that Meng’er and Elder Sister were destined to marry you in the future.”

    Yan Zhen was stunned. One of the other three women at the dining table choked on soy milk, another choked on a steamed bun. Only Instructor Yu Xuan was relatively calm, tearing an oil stick while secretly glancing at the two of them.

    Yan Zhen quickly regained his senses and continued eating the steamed bun, “I only said that to disgust Lan Ke. Our family clan doesn’t have a rule that female cousins must marry the clan leader as concubines. Don’t worry.”

    Yan Meng’er slightly puffed up her cheeks, “So it doesn’t count? Cousin clearly asked Meng’er and Elder Sister in front of so many people if we liked you, and Meng’er and Elder Sister said we liked you. Now Cousin doesn’t acknowledge it.”

    Unhappy.jpg

    Beside her, Yan Ruyu was so embarrassed by her words that she secretly pinched Yan Meng’er’s thigh, gesturing for her to shut up.

    Yan Meng’er was unmoved, staring at Yan Zhen resentfully as if looking at a heartless man.

    Yan Zhen felt a headache. Wasn’t it by default that the three of them cooperated to put on a good show to disgust Lan Ke and prevent him from harassing Yan Ruyu again? How come after two or three days, Yan Meng’er came to settle accounts with him instead?

    –Silly girl is adding scenes on the spot again. She’s really not letting people rest easy. Don’t think that just because you’re cute, I won’t spank your butt!

    “Why are you suddenly saying this? Did something happen?”

    “It’s nothing. Since Cousin doesn’t acknowledge it, then forget it. Even if Meng’er is ridiculed by classmates, I won’t blame Cousin, hmph~”

    Angry.jpg

    Yan Zhen was speechless. So it turned out she had a conflict with her classmates.

    It shouldn’t be a big deal. Otherwise, there would definitely be a scene in the script where he helped her out.

    “What happened between you and your classmates?”

    “Meng’er said I have a boyfriend now, and it’s my childhood sweetheart cousin. They don’t believe it and even say Meng’er is a vixen, ostracizing Meng’er.”

    So that’s how it is. She was ostracized by the small circle because she was pretty and likable?

    After all, Yan Meng’er indeed had a bit of a vixen’s aura, and occasionally spoke in a coquettish manner.

    Although she usually only showed her docile and obedient side in front of Yan Zhen, Yan Zhen, who was familiar with the script, naturally knew what kind of character setting this girl had.

    Of course, these were actually all her cute points. Yan Zhen didn’t dislike them. On the contrary, he even liked them a bit.

    If he didn’t know that this was a carefree novel world without a female lead, he might have already stepped through the door of incest under her aggressive advances.

    “Then what do you want me to do? I can’t possibly announce in front of them that you’re my girlfriend, right? That would be too awkward. I won’t do it.”

    “Oh, it doesn’t need to be so troublesome. As long as Cousin comes to wait for Meng’er to go to the cafeteria together at noon and wait for Meng’er to go home together after school, that’s enough.”

    “Aren’t we always doing that?”

    “No, Cousin has always come with Elder Sister and Sister Xue’er. You have to come alone.”

    Saying that, Yan Meng’er glanced at Mi Xue’er and Yan Ruyu, the meaning self-evident.

    Yan Ruyu was so angry. The silly girl had been talking for half a day, complaining that they were in the way!

    Mi Xue’er also had an unfriendly gaze. The stinky Meng’er was actually being sassy towards her sister!

    “Alright, starting today, we won’t go find you anymore, you ungrateful little thing!”

    “Ungrateful little thing!”

    “Elder Sister, Sister Xue’er, I didn’t mean it that way. I just… just wanted Cousin to come find me more and give those bad women a warning.”

    Yan Meng’er started being sassy again, angering her elder sister and senior sister to the point of glaring at her.

    Seeing this, Instructor Yu Xuan shook her head helplessly, but her eyes looked at Yan Zhen with a resentful gaze.

    She was very clear that both Yan Meng’er and Yan Ruyu liked Yan Zhen. Then did her actions count as fighting over a man with students?

    No, she absolutely couldn’t expose her relationship with Yan Zhen. Otherwise, how could she have the face to continue being their instructor?

    Thinking of the “secret teaching” agreed upon two days later, Instructor Yu Xuan couldn’t help but blush and have a pounding heart. Her legs slightly clenched together, a hint of moisture in her crotch.

    However, Yan Meng’er had actually already noticed the signs, so she planned to change tactics. Temporarily leaving behind her pig teammate Elder Sister, she would first get on base herself!

  • They All Want to Be My Female Lead v2 c24

    24 It’s Really Not a Big Deal

    Yan Zhen suspected that his ears were playing tricks on him, because how could Instructor Yu Xuan possibly say something like that? So he couldn’t help but confirm, “Instructor, are you serious? Are you joking? I, I will take it seriously!”

    Are you that happy that you’re even stuttering… Instructor Yu Xuan originally still had some maiden’s restraint and resistance, but seeing Yan Zhen’s overjoyed appearance, her mood instantly improved.

    “How could I joke about this kind of thing? Of course it’s true. It’s just that you can’t be too unrestrained. Your focus should still be on cultivation.”

    “…”

    Yan Zhen was a bit stunned. The reason he exposed himself was to die socially with Instructor Yu Xuan, so that she wouldn’t hold a grudge, not to have her give him secret teachings!

    Why did it turn out like a plot from an adult book? This doesn’t fit Instructor Yu Xuan’s character setting, right? She should be the kind of old-fashioned character who blushes and says “no lewdness”. In the script, she deeply loathed people like Xiao Shi!

    Damn it, it’s always like this. Whether it’s Yan Meng’er, Huangfu Wenqing, or even his beautiful master, they always deviate from the script and have developments that only appear in adult books.

    Even though this is a carefree novel world without a female lead, the plot always tends towards adult book developments. No wonder it’s on the verge of collapse.

    Yan Zhen suspected that the god of lewdness had invaded this world, but he had no evidence.

    What should he do now?

    If he says it’s a misunderstanding and he didn’t actually mean for the instructor to give him secret teachings, and that she was overthinking and being self-conscious, would Instructor Yu Xuan kill him?

    It’s obvious how much courage it took for her to make such a decision.

    But if he silently accepts it, won’t the subsequent plot explode?

    In any case, he should refuse politely first.

    Yan Zhen carefully chose his words and finally said, “Instructor, let’s forget it. This is too difficult for you.”

    Considering it from the other party’s perspective, it makes him look sensible and won’t embarrass the other party.

    –As expected of me!

    Yan Zhen felt that he could still salvage the situation.

    However, after hearing this, Instructor Yu Xuan’s mood became even better.

    Although Yan Zhen planned to threaten her to satisfy his evil thoughts, his original intention was pure after all. After the impulse passed, he started to feel distressed for her as his instructor.

    Indeed, sometimes going along with the other party’s intentions is more effective than any preaching.

    This child needs her guidance to avoid going astray.

    That’s right, she definitely doesn’t have any ulterior motives. She simply wants to teach Yan Zhen well!

    Instructor Yu Xuan shook her head with a smile, “The instructor doesn’t find it difficult at all. You are my disciple. Teaching you well is my responsibility, no matter which aspect. Don’t think too much, Yan Zhen. This is voluntary on my part. You don’t need to have any psychological burden.”

    What, what kind of savior Bodhisattva is this!

    Yan Zhen was almost blinded by the flawless holy light emanating from Instructor Yu Xuan’s body.

    –I’m sorry, I’m guilty!

    “Instructor, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said those things.”

    Yan Zhen couldn’t help but admit his mistake. Instructor Yu Xuan gently held his hand and said softly, “It’s okay. I forgive you. You will always be my good disciple, so I will help you. Don’t worry, Yan Zhen. Leave everything to the instructor.”

    “Instructor, I…”

    Oh my god!

    Instructor Yu Xuan was fully prepared to sacrifice herself. Yan Zhen couldn’t say it was a misunderstanding anymore. It’s over!

    –System dear! Are you there? Save me!

    [Ding! System’s gentle reminder: It’s not a key plot point. The host can freely perform. It’s time to show your true acting skills~]

    –System, you’re a song goddess, right? It’s my fault for having expectations of you!

    Yan Zhen made a expressionless reflection.

    [Ding! System reminds again: Host, please calm down. The plot hasn’t collapsed.]

    It hasn’t collapsed now, but there are already signs of collapse!

    You stupid system, if he really accepts Instructor Yu Xuan’s secret teachings, both the character setting and plot will… Wait a minute.

    Yan Zhen had a flash of inspiration:

    Instructor Yu Xuan said she would teach him “knowledge” in related aspects and try her best to satisfy his requests. As long as he doesn’t make any excessive requests, won’t it be fine? As for teaching knowledge, that’s only within the scope of health education, harmless.

    The instructor helping you open up, is there a problem? The problem is very big.

    But the instructor only teaches you how to open up, is there a problem? No problem!

    So that’s how it is. He overreacted. It’s really not a big deal.

    On the contrary, Instructor Yu Xuan can actually do this for a disciple like him. She is truly a model of the way of teaching, worthy of respect!

    Thinking of this, Yan Zhen’s gaze towards Instructor Yu Xuan became one of admiration.

    With a teacher like this, what more could one ask for!?

    Instructor Yu Xuan naturally noticed the change in Yan Zhen’s gaze. She felt greatly comforted in her heart and secretly felt fortunate that she didn’t put on the air of an instructor and preach to him just now. Otherwise, he would only become more rebellious. How could he be as obedient as he is now?

    “Alright, Yan Zhen, I need to prepare a bit. Come back the night after tomorrow. Endure it for now, okay?”

    Her tone was like coaxing a child, gentle as water, full of doting.

    After saying that, she was afraid that Yan Zhen would think she was just saying it to trick him, so she added shyly, “If it’s too unbearable, I’ll use my hand to help you first.”

    Hearing this, Yan Zhen was startled and hurriedly refused.

    “No need, Instructor. I’m not unbearable at all… I will listen to the instructor’s arrangement and come back the night after tomorrow.”

    So obedient.

    Instructor Yu Xuan’s expression became even gentler, her eyes curved as she gazed at Yan Zhen.

    In her previous life, she had never seen him so obedient. He was always like a little adult, having his own ideas. Even though she was his instructor, she couldn’t interfere with his decisions.

    “Then let’s leave it at that for now. It’s late. Hurry back to your room. Be careful. If Meng’er sees you, it will be hard to explain.”

    Yan Zhen nodded repeatedly, then quickly slipped away as if he had oil on the soles of his feet.

    Seeing his flying footsteps, Instructor Yu Xuan thought to herself, the naughty boy is too happy. Is he that eager to do lewd things with her?

    As an instructor, she can’t lay hands on her disciple. It’s a matter of principle. But if he confesses to her, can she agree?

    –Oh, Yu Xuan, oh Yu Xuan, what are you thinking again? It’s so embarrassing~

    That night, Instructor Yu Xuan lay on the bed, her delicate body covered by a thin blanket. She called out Yan Zhen’s name while dreaming. The next day, she had to change the bedsheets.

    The other three girls didn’t find it strange. After all, Instructor Yu Xuan cultivated water mystic power. Her body was more moist and juicy, easily sweating. She also loved cleanliness. In hot weather, she had to change and wash the bedsheets every two or three days. It was her habit.

    Yan Zhen originally thought that Instructor Yu Xuan had a mild cleanliness obsession, but after last night’s conversation, he couldn’t help but have wild thoughts.

    Coming back to his senses, Yan Zhen silently cursed himself for being heartless. Instructor Yu Xuan had done so much for him, even more dazzling than a Bodhisattva. How could she possibly secretly do lewd things?

    23 Self-Exposure, Then Dying Socially Together

    Although Yan Zhen had an innocent look, Instructor Yu Xuan, who had been staring at him, had already captured that momentary meaningful gaze, instantly making her so embarrassed that she couldn’t help herself.

    “I said it’s just perfume for young ladies!”

    She snatched the small bottle of Morning Dream Dew and tightly clutched it behind her back, not letting him see it.

    Yan Zhen coughed twice, feeling a bit awkward. Seeing this reaction, it was obvious that she knew he knew.

    This was very bad.

    He had just used the Ice Condensing Dew and Snow Wind Pearl to eliminate the distance caused by the bathroom incident. Now he had accidentally exposed Instructor Yu Xuan’s personal privacy.

    She had died socially. Could he, the person who made her die socially, fare any better?

    He had to do something to make up for it.

    After all, in the script, his relationship with Instructor Yu Xuan was very harmonious.

    If there was a rift, it was very likely to affect the development of subsequent plots.

    For example, in the script, Instructor Yu Xuan had a conflict with other instructors in order to fight for cultivation resources for him. Both sides sent students to gamble on stage. The winner could get double the resources, while the loser would have nothing!

    If Instructor Yu Xuan had an opinion of him, obviously this plot wouldn’t be able to develop.

    Yan Zhen thought for a moment and quickly came up with a solution:

    Self-expose, then die socially with her.

    Although he didn’t want to do this, in order to avoid the plot deviating from the script, he could only sacrifice the small self to complete the big self!

    However, Yan Zhen’s silence made Instructor Yu Xuan even more panicked, thinking he wouldn’t tell others, right?

    If those three girls found out, how could she still have the face to continue being their instructor!

    “Yan Zhen, don’t tell others about the Morning Dream Dew. I, I actually haven’t used it many times.”

    As soon as the words left her mouth, Instructor Yu Xuan regretted it. What the hell was she saying? She was confessing without being asked!

    Her sense of shame exploded. She felt like she was about to faint.

    Yan Zhen was also speechless. How could the instructor expose herself faster than him? In that case, wouldn’t he have to expose himself even more to offset her embarrassment?

    He hurriedly spoke, “I understand, Instructor Yu Xuan. This is a normal physiological need for humans. There’s nothing wrong with it… I’ll keep it a secret!”

    Instructor Yu Xuan didn’t dare to raise her head at all. She could only use the hair on both sides to cover the redness on her face.

    “It’s good that you can help me keep it a secret.”

    Yan Zhen took a deep breath, struck a sage-like pose, and began self-exposing in a feminine bubbly voice, “Actually, I also often hide in my room to engage in ancestral handiwork activities.”

    Ancestral handiwork activities?

    Instructor Yu Xuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant. But the quick-witted her soon connected the context through the word “also” and completed her understanding.

    The beautiful instructor raised her head and looked at Yan Zhen in astonishment, thinking to herself, why was he suddenly saying this?

    “When I engage in handiwork activities, I also prepare some side dishes in advance to stimulate my little brother. But it’s not dew, it’s paper people in a notebook. Occasionally, I also use real people.”

    Yan Zhen paused for a moment. “For example, the night before last, I used the instructor’s beautiful posture in the bathroom to do it once, because it was really too alluring. After all, I’m a mature woman control. I like older sister types. A woman like the instructor, with a mature charm all over her body, completely hits my XP!”

    Instructor Yu Xuan’s eyes widened in shock. She never thought there would be a day when she would hear such words from Yan Zhen’s mouth.

    He, he used her to, to do that…

    Instructor Yu Xuan was first embarrassed and angry, but soon the anger disappeared, replaced by a subtle joy.

    Although she didn’t know what mature woman control and XP were, she understood older sister type. It meant liking someone a bit older than him, like her.

    Wait, this, this was a confession? Yan Zhen confessed to her?

    No, no, that’s not right. Who would confess like this? A girl would be crazy to agree.

    Then what exactly did he want to say?

    Not liking her, but coveting her body?

    But why did he say he coveted her body at this juncture?

    Right, Yan Zhen had just obtained her handle, so he was subtly hinting to her that if she didn’t want others to know about her using Morning Dream Dew, she had to satisfy his lewd demands!

    This was a threat!

    Instructor Yu Xuan suddenly realized. She was stunned by her own speculation.

    She heard Yan Zhen continue, “As an ancestral handiwork person, I can understand the instructor’s feelings very well. The instructor can understand mine too, right? So I definitely won’t tell this matter to a third person. Instructor, you can rest assured!”

    –Self-exposing to this extent should be enough, right? Yan Zhen thought, then looked at Instructor Yu Xuan’s reaction with anticipation.

    According to Yan Zhen’s understanding of Instructor Yu Xuan, she would definitely put on the air of a teacher and start lecturing him, telling him not to think about men and women at a young age and to focus on cultivation and so on.

    Then he would weakly admit his mistake and say he wouldn’t do it again in the future.

    Teacher and student harmony.

    In this way, wouldn’t the awkward atmosphere naturally dissipate?

    –I’m really a genius, the best actor among actors!

    Instructor Yu Xuan’s heart was extremely complicated at this moment.

    She couldn’t believe it. How could Yan Zhen be such a despicable person? So she looked at his clean eyes.

    The eyes don’t lie.

    “…”

    Yan Zhen was expecting, expecting her to compromise, expecting to conquer her, this instructor!

    Instructor Yu Xuan panicked and was also a bit disappointed. The Yan Zhen she liked shouldn’t be like this.

    –Isn’t it because you seduced him?

    A sentence seemed to flash in her mind. Instructor Yu Xuan was about to deny it, but she lacked confidence.

    It was her who barged in when he was taking a bath.

    It was also her who instructed him in front of his elder and younger female cousins.

    It was still her who pulled him into her room, touching and rubbing his hands and face, and she was even wearing a sleepwear with a slightly open collar and exposed collarbones!

    If this wasn’t seduction, what was it?

    That’s why Yan Zhen had evil thoughts about her.

    –I, I’m really a shameless woman!

    Instructor Yu Xuan was full of self-blame.

    No, she couldn’t let him go astray.

    Since Yan Zhen wanted lewd things, then she would satisfy him. In this way, he wouldn’t lay his hands on other girls.

    She could slowly teach and guide him back to the right path in the process of lewdness. This was her responsibility as an instructor!

    After figuring it out, Instructor Yu Xuan regained her composure and sighed lightly.

    Yan Zhen instantly perked up. As he expected, the instructor was going to enter lecture mode.

    “Yan Zhen.”

    “Yes.”

    “Are you really interested in that kind of thing?”

    “Ahem, it would be a lie to say I’m not interested. After all, I’m also a normal sixteen-year-old teenager.”

    “That’s true.” Instructor Yu Xuan smiled shyly and bit her lip, making a decision. “From now on, the instructor will teach you knowledge related to that aspect. No matter what request you have, as long as you say it, the instructor will satisfy you… Is this okay?”

    Yan Zhen, who was listening to the teachings, immediately nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice.

    –Everything the instructor said is correct!

    “I know I was wrong. I will properly correct– Huh?”

    Yan Zhen was really dumbfounded this time.

    22 Appreciating the Dew

    Instructor Yu Xuan raised her head, her watery eyes looking at Yan Zhen.

    “How does it feel, Yan Zhen?”

    Yan Zhen thought for a moment and said, “It’s like soaking in ice water for a bit.”

    “Hehe, that’s a very appropiate description. This is also the ideal effect of the dew.”

    “Can this last for a day?”

    “Half a day to a day, it varies from person to person and is also related to the environment. Like me, cultivating water mystic power, if I stay indoors, it can easily last a day. If I keep moving under the sun, it might lose its effect in half a day.”

    “Then if I cultivate fire mystic power, won’t the effect be greatly reduced?”

    Instructor Yu Xuan smiled with pursed lips, “Yes~ But people who cultivate fire mystic power basically don’t fear the scorching heat and rarely use the dew.”

    Yan Zhen scratched his head, “That makes sense.”

    As they talked, they inadvertently met each other’s gaze just as they fell silent. The originally harmonious atmosphere immediately became awkward.

    At night, in the boudoir, a lone man and a lonely woman, it made people’s imaginations run wild.

    Yan Zhen didn’t mind much. Although Instructor Yu Xuan was wearing thin pajamas, revealing her enchanting curves, her skin as tender and white as milk, and her overall aura exuding the intoxicating charm of a mature woman, he was clear that this was a carefree novel world without a female lead. Aside from being stunned by her beauty, he wouldn’t have any deeper thoughts.

    It was Instructor Yu Xuan who seemed to have her thoughts exposed. She quickly lowered her head and looked away.

    Lowering her head, she happened to see that she was still unconsciously holding Yan Zhen’s hand, looking reluctant to let go. She was so shocked that she hurriedly withdrew her hand and changed the subject at the same time, “By the way, Yan Zhen, I still have several kinds of dew here. Do you want to try them too?”

    Yan Zhen blinked, thinking to himself, is this a recommendation? Although he wasn’t interested in the dew, he didn’t want to spoil Instructor Yu Xuan’s enthusiasm, so he nodded and said, “Has the instructor collected many kinds?”

    “Not too many, three or four kinds. They all have different effects– Come and take a look.”

    With that said, Instructor Yu Xuan pulled Yan Zhen’s arm to the dressing table, pressed his shoulders to make him sit down, then picked out a small bottle engraved with clouds from the bottles and jars on the table, and introduced it as if counting her family’s treasures, “This one is called Water Cloud Dew. Its biggest effect is moisturizing, suitable for both winter and summer.”

    As she spoke, Instructor Yu Xuan opened the bottle, poured some into her palm, then put down the small bottle, grabbed Yan Zhen’s hand, and spread it on his arm.

    “How does it feel?”

    Yan Zhen was dumbfounded like a wooden person, being manipulated by Instructor Yu Xuan. Before his mind could process it, he said, “It feels… It feels like the instructor’s hands are soft.”

    Instructor Yu Xuan’s pink cheeks heated up, revealing a healthy redness. She pouted, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m asking you about the effect of the dew.”

    “Oh oh, the dew.” Yan Zhen pondered for a moment before saying, “It feels like I just took a bath.”

    “Right? In winter, it’s used to prevent the skin from drying and cracking. In summer, after applying it and then going out to feel the night breeze, it’s so comfortable~”

    Yan Zhen felt it was a bit strange, “Does the instructor who cultivates water mystic power still need to use this?”

    “Of course.” Instructor Yu Xuan also applied some on her own fair wrist, then put her hand in front of Yan Zhen’s nose and said, “Smell it, isn’t it very fragrant?”

    Yan Zhen took a sniff and asked curiously, “Is it the fragrance of orchids?”

    “Not entirely. It’s a special fragrance based on orchid, more elegant. If I have to describe it, it’s like ‘orchids by the water’. In addition to the floral fragrance, there’s also the ‘fragrance of water’.”

    “The fragrance of water…”

    It’s the feeling of moist water vapor entering the nose, right?

    –As expected of the instructor, what she said was really poetic.

    Yan Zhen gave her a thumbs up in his mind.

    Seeing his pensive expression, Instructor Yu Xuan smiled slightly and picked out another bottle of dew from the table.

    “This one is ‘Tranquil Dew’. You can tell from the name that it’s for nighttime use. Apply it on the face and you can have a good night’s sleep. When you wake up the next day, your skin won’t be dry and will still be tender and firm.”

    But the instructor cultivates water mystic power, so there shouldn’t be any problem of dry skin, right? Yan Zhen still felt it was a bit strange.

    “Is this one also very fragrant?”

    “Mm, smell it and see what it smells like.”

    Just like before, Instructor Yu Xuan dripped the Tranquil Dew on her hand and let Yan Zhen smell it.

    Yan Zhen, who prided himself on having a nose more sensitive than a dog’s, took two sniffs and confidently said, “Like lavender.”

    Instructor Yu Xuan’s expression was surprised, “Yan Zhen, you’re even so familiar with lavender? Lavender is rarely seen in the Gallo Kingdom.”

    Yan Zhen made an “mm-hmm” sound and pretended to push up his glasses, “I read a lot of books.”

    “I didn’t expect you to be a little bookworm.” Instructor Yu Xuan was in a great mood, her beautiful face wearing a smile of indulgence in happiness. “Tranquil Dew is made by blending lavender essential oil. Compared to ordinary essential oils, the fragrance is gentler and more suitable for aiding sleep– Come and try it.”

    Instructor Yu Xuan poured out some more Tranquil Dew and smilingly applied it to Yan Zhen’s face, first the left cheek, then the right cheek, and finally lifted his bangs and applied some on his forehead.

    The boneless jade-like hand rubbed the flesh on his face. Coupled with the relaxing effect of the Tranquil Dew, it made Yan Zhen feel very comfortable, like having a simple head massage.

    “How is it? Comfortable?”

    “Very comfortable.”

    Yan Zhen nodded vigorously. Mainly because Instructor Yu Xuan’s hands were too soft and tender, and carried a faint hint of moisture, unlike his dry ones.

    Instructor Yu Xuan rubbed for a good while before reluctantly letting go of Yan Zhen’s cheeks.

    “If the pressure of cultivation is so great that you can’t sleep, you can come to me and I’ll apply some Tranquil Dew for you.”

    “Thank you, Instructor~”

    “Let me try the next one for you.”

    With that said, Instructor Yu Xuan hummed a little tune and continued to pick from the bottles and jars on the dressing table.

    Yan Zhen noticed a very eye-catching ruby red small bottle among the dense bottles and jars. There was a heart-shaped relief on the bottle, very girlish. So he asked curiously, “What’s that?”

    Instructor Yu Xuan looked in the direction Yan Zhen pointed, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She stammered, “That, that’s… just ordinary perfume, nothing special.”

    As she spoke, she wanted to put that thing away, but Yan Zhen reached out with one hand and took the ruby red heart-shaped small bottle. He read the small words on the bottle, “Morning Dream Dew?”

    It sounded a bit familiar.

    Right, this thing appeared in the script. It was a bathing product specially designed for women, with a slight aphrodisiac effect, which helped enhance the experience of the soft art.

    That Xiao Shi from the Xiao family who had a duel with him earlier concentrated this Morning Dream Dew into a secret spring medicine, preparing to do something bad. He even used Xiao Xinyan as an experiment, secretly pouring the dew into her bath water and hiding outside the room to listen to the sound and see the effect.

    As a result, after hearing her getting aroused, Xiao Shi couldn’t hold back and wanted to perform incest. Unfortunately, before he could succeed, he was caught by Yan Zhen.

    Because Xiao Shi, Xiao Xinyan, and a few other members of the Xiao family lived behind the mansion opposite, and Yan Zhen happened to have cultivated divine soul power, he discovered Xiao Shi’s evil deed with a scan, so he took care of him casually.

    After that, that bad woman Xiao Xinyan never bothered Yan Zhen again.

    Ahem, Instructor Yu Xuan also used this kind of thing. As expected of a mature woman!

    Yan Zhen’s expression suddenly became meaningful, but considering a young lady’s reputation, he still pretended to be innocent and asked, “What type of dew is this?”

    21 Apology Gift

    Yan Zhen took the Ice Condensing Dew and Snow Wind Pearl and went to Instructor Yu Xuan’s room on the right side of the main house, knocking on the door.

    After a while, the door opened. Instructor Yu Xuan, wearing thin pajamas, revealed her beautiful face. Seeing Yan Zhen, her eyes widened slightly, a bit surprised.

    “Yan Zhen, what’s the matter?”

    Yan Zhen got straight to the point and said, “The weather has been getting hot recently. I saw that the instructor seemed to be very afraid of heat, so I prepared two things for you to relieve the heat.”

    With that, he handed over the two gifts.

    Instructor Yu Xuan recognized at a glance that they were Ice Condensing Dew and Snow Wind Pearl. Although they were only first-grade, their prices were not cheap, comparable to some second-grade items.

    The key was not the price but what Yan Zhen said. From the way he said it, it seemed like he had been observing her all along. Could it be that this child really had some admiration for her?

    Although she was happy in her heart, Instructor Yu Xuan still shook her head and refused, “How can an instructor accept things from a student? I appreciate your kind intentions. Just take the things back.”

    Yan Zhen knew she would say that and hurriedly said, “Instructor Yu Xuan, I’m not trying to bribe you. I just want to apologize to you.”

    “Apologize?” Instructor Yu Xuan frowned slightly. “Did you cause trouble?”

    “It’s about the bathroom incident the day before yesterday.”

    The day before yesterday… When he mentioned it, Instructor Yu Xuan immediately recalled and her cheeks flushed red.

    It was nothing to have a mishap, but she later had a hot head and actually took the initiative to help him release. No matter what, it was too much.

    Seeing that Yan Zhen still wanted to say something, Instructor Yu Xuan grabbed his arm and pulled him into the room, then quickly closed the door.

    Yan Zhen was startled, thinking that Instructor Yu Xuan was angry with embarrassment and wanted to beat him behind closed doors. He immediately raised his hands in surrender and said, “Instructor, I know I was wrong. I apologize to you. Don’t be impulsive. Impulse is the devil– mmph.”

    Instructor Yu Xuan covered Yan Zhen’s mouth with her hand and scolded, “Keep your voice down. Meng’er’s room is right across.”

    Yan Zhen only felt that Instructor Yu Xuan’s little hand was wet and soft, with the fragrance of a bath, giving people the urge to take a bite.

    He blinked and nodded quietly.

    Only then did Instructor Yu Xuan withdraw her hand and let go of his mouth. She said unnaturally, “The day before yesterday, I was just impulsive, so I did that kind of thing to you. Don’t take it to heart.”

    Indeed, Instructor Yu Xuan still cared about it.

    Yan Zhen felt a bit guilty.

    “I’m sorry, Instructor, for causing you trouble.”

    “No need to apologize. I was also at fault. Seeing your clothes scattered all over the place, I should have thought that you hadn’t come out of the bathroom. If that were the case, there wouldn’t have been what happened later, especially when I…”

    Instructor Yu Xuan glanced at Yan Zhen’s crotch. Her palms seemed to still retain that burning sensation. She subconsciously put them behind her back and squeezed them.

    “Ahem, anyway, since it’s all in the past, don’t mention it again. Just be more careful in the future. After all, you’re the only boy here. There will be some inconveniences.”

    “I’ll keep that in mind, Instructor.” Yan Zhen nodded and handed over the items again. “Then can the instructor accept these two things? If the instructor doesn’t accept them, I’ll feel uneasy.”

    Seeing his expression of not giving up until she accepted the gifts, Instructor Yu Xuan hesitated for a moment but still took the apology gifts.

    “I’ll accept them then.” She smiled softly, her eyes reflecting Yan Zhen’s figure, brewing a hint of affection. “I’m indeed quite afraid of heat. The weather is getting hotter day by day. Both the Ice Condensing Dew and Snow Wind Pearl will be very useful. Thank you, Yan Zhen.”

    “It’s just a little thought. As long as the instructor likes them, that’s good.” Yan Zhen also smiled, then got up to take his leave. “Then I’ll go back to my room first. Good night, Instructor.”

    Instructor Yu Xuan suddenly felt reluctant to part and really wanted to continue being alone with him like this. She subconsciously opened her mouth and said, “Wait, Yan Zhen.”

    Yan Zhen turned his head again. His big eyes had a small question: What’s up?

    Being looked at by him with his head tilted, Instructor Yu Xuan’s heartbeat sped up. She felt her body starting to heat up, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. A vague body fragrance quietly emanated.

    “It’s just… Let’s try the effects of these two things. It’s quite hot tonight.”

    Ah, this… Yan Zhen didn’t quite understand why Instructor Yu Xuan suddenly wanted to do this. Was she doubting that his things were fake?

    Products from the system were definitely top-notch!

    Wait, wait, he understood. Instructor Yu Xuan first suspected that the items were of poor quality, so she asked him to stay and try them on the spot. As a result, she was surprised to find that they were actually high-quality items, successfully letting him show off a little.

    Just right. The system told him to show off a few more times to establish the protagonist’s persona.

    Thinking of this, Yan Zhen nodded.

    “Then let’s try it. I’m also very curious about how effective these two things are.”

    Instructor Yu Xuan secretly rejoiced and gave herself a thumbs up for her wit.

    “Sit down first.”

    The two of them sat on stools. Instructor Yu Xuan placed both the Ice Condensing Dew and Snow Wind Pearl on the table. Yan Zhen watched with interest as she took the Snow Wind Pearl from the box.

    The Snow Wind Pearl consisted of a pearl and a base plate. Instructor Yu Xuan picked up the pearl and infused mystic power into it, then placed the pearl back in the center of the base plate.

    Soon, the Snow Wind Pearl lit up and emitted strands of cold air, lingering around.

    The temperature slowly dropped.

    “Is this enough, Instructor?”

    “Mm, the base plate can adjust the range of the cold air emission. The larger the range, the faster the mystic power is consumed. This should be a portable type, capable of covering the entire room at most.”

    “It’s quite user-friendly.”

    “The cold air is very pure. This is a high-quality Snow Wind Pearl. It must have cost a lot of money, right?”

    “Hehe, it’s alright.”

    It was given by the system. Yan Zhen thought.

    However, Instructor Yu Xuan thought that Yan Zhen had spent a lot of money specifically for her. Her heart was filled with waves of sweetness.

    Although it wasn’t a precious item, buying the best one for her was enough to show the extent of his thoughtfulness.

    This child really did have a bit of admiration for her…

    Instructor Yu Xuan was secretly delighted, the corners of her mouth curving into an obvious arc.

    This kind of admiration that couldn’t be called liking yet would slowly disappear with the passage of time if ignored, but if she took this opportunity to interact with him more, could she develop the admiration into liking?

    “Let’s try the Ice Condensing Dew next.”

    Instructor Yu Xuan opened the cork of the jade bottle and took a light sniff.

    “The fragrance is very refreshing. The quality should be a bit better than what I used before.”

    She poured the dew on the back of her hand and gently spread it evenly, a radiant smile appearing on her face.

    “It’s so cool~ It’s indeed top-notch Ice Condensing Dew. Yan Zhen, you try it too.”

    Yan Zhen stretched out his right hand as indicated, with the back of his hand facing up.

    Instructor Yu Xuan poured a drop of Ice Condensing Dew on the back of his hand, then put down the jade bottle. She held Yan Zhen’s hand with both hands and carefully helped him spread it evenly.

    Yan Zhen was stunned. He didn’t expect Instructor Yu Xuan to personally help him apply it. Seeing that she had no abnormality, he didn’t make a fuss.

    Her wet and soft little hands rubbed back and forth on the back of his hand. The dew took effect, as if using an ice cube to apply it, making people very comfortable.

  • They All Want to Be My Female Lead v2 c20

    20 I Always Loved You

    –I was discovered!

    Yan Zhen was extremely embarrassed, so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it. He lowered his head and mumbled, “I’m sorry, Master, because you smell so good, I couldn’t help but…”

    “Is it this master’s fault?”

    “Ah? I didn’t mean that!”

    “Zhen’er, you don’t need to be nervous. Indeed, this master didn’t consider things thoroughly and didn’t take your feelings into account.” Chen Xi hugged Yan Zhen from behind, gently embraced him, and lightly caressed his head with her jade-like hand. “You are at the age when your body is strong and vigorous. It’s very normal to have occasional physiological urges. Don’t feel inferior because of it.”

    “Master…”

    Yan Zhen was deeply moved. His beautiful master was actually so open-minded. Not only did she not scold him, but she even comforted him, worried that his self-esteem would be hurt!

    With such a master, what more could one ask for!

    But then he heard his beautiful master sigh lightly and say, “Since it was caused by this master, then let this master help you resolve it.”

    “Ah?”

    Yan Zhen was stunned. Before he could speak, his belt was untied, and then the soft jade-like hand that had just held the brush with him reached in and carefully captured the restless source.

    Hiss~

    Yan Zhen inhaled a cold breath. The heat brought by the concentrated blood was instantly soothed by the coolness of the hands. A floating feeling arose, as if he had learned the art of flying, freely flying towards the clouds.

    “Ma- Master…”

    “Don’t talk anymore. Close your eyes and leave it to this master.”

    Although Chen Xi had no practical experience, her theoretical knowledge was very rich. Moreover, she was an alchemist by nature with extremely strong practical ability. When she started, she was not ambiguous at all.

    The left hand was below, the five fingers were like a naive child, mischievous and naughty. The right hand was above, like a passionate young girl who had just entered the martial dao, wielding a spear and playing with a stick.

    The two hands cooperated tacitly, changing the force rhythmically, making Yan Zhen continuously gasp and pant.

    In less than half a cup of tea’s time, Yan Zhen surrendered.

    “Is this enough, Zhen’er?”

    “Mm…”

    “It doesn’t seem to be enough. Don’t be afraid. This master will help you.”

    “/(//o/ω/o//)/”

    After a quarter of an hour, Yan Zhen softly collapsed on Chen Xi’s legs and fell into a deep sleep.

    Chen Xi withdrew her hand, her palm already stained with a mottled white. She looked at Yan Zhen and found that he had indeed fallen asleep. Then, like a cat washing its paws, she licked her hand clean.

    “It’s so thick.”

    She washed her hands with water technique, then gently cleaned the traces left on Yan Zhen’s body before letting him rest on her legs again. She inserted her five fingers into his hair, combing it stroke by stroke. Her gaze fell on that quiet sleeping face, as if she couldn’t get enough of it, observing it from left to right.

    At this time, “handsome” was a more appropriate description for Yan Zhen. His face was fair and clean, with a hint of immaturity. Only when he grew up a bit more could he be called “suave”.

    The more Chen Xi looked, the more delighted she became. She deeply kissed his forehead.

    “This master has always loved you, Zhen’er~”

    When Yan Zhen woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in his room. There was no yellow paper or vermilion beside him, and no beautiful master either.

    Was last night a dream?

    It should be. Otherwise, with his beautiful master’s temperament, how could she be so playful and wield a spear and play with a stick?

    But his waist was a bit sore.

    Yan Zhen thought for a while, took out the yellow paper and vermilion he bought yesterday from his storage ring, and found that a stack of yellow paper had already been unsealed, and there were obviously a few sheets missing. The cork of the vermilion bottle was also loose.

    It’s over. It wasn’t a dream.

    In other words, the task issued by the system had not been completed. He was only enjoying his beautiful master’s killing and must die!

    Degenerate, too degenerate!

    Tap, tap, tap.

    Someone knocked on the door, and then Yan Meng’er’s coquettish voice sounded, “Cousin, are you up? It’s time for breakfast.”

    Yan Zhen glanced at the clock and found that it was already 7:30. He hurriedly replied, “I’ll be right over. You guys eat first.”

    After washing up, he rushed to the dining room. The four women had just finished eating, and only his portion was left.

    Instructor Yu Xuan said she had something to do and went to the academy first. The remaining three women waited for Yan Zhen to finish eating before going out together.

    In the intermediate class 1.

    Because of Yan Zhen’s collision with Lan Ke in the cafeteria yesterday, the people in the class looked at him strangely, some with awe and some with ridicule, especially the few big brothers who had picked on him yesterday.

    Lan Ke was one of the top five experts on the Nine Stars List and could be said to be one of the representative figures of the academy. It was truly unimaginable that Yan Zhen, a new student, could be evenly matched with him.

    A 9-star Mystic Scholar, and a top one at that. How could Yan Zhen, a 5-star Mystic Scholar, withstand him?

    Yan Zhen didn’t pay attention to these rumors. He casually chose a corner seat and began to draw the fire talisman pattern attentively.

    He didn’t use yellow paper and vermilion, nor did he infuse mystic power. He only used a pen to trace the patterns.

    Originally, he thought it would be very easy, but unexpectedly, he encountered the same formless resistance.

    Mi Xue’er and Yan Ruyu still sat on either side of him, and the distance was even closer, their shoulders almost touching.

    Seeing Yan Zhen drawing a pattern and sweating, Mi Xue’er hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away his sweat.

    “Little Brother Yan Zhen, what are you drawing?”

    “Talisman pattern.”

    “What talisman pattern?”

    “Fire.”

    Mi Xue’er’s eyes lit up. “Does Little Brother Yan Zhen want to become a talisman refiner?”

    Yan Zhen shook his head. “No.”

    The two chatted in a low voice from time to time.

    Yan Ruyu, who was beside them, couldn’t stand it and knocked on the table, reminding, “You two, listen to the lecture seriously.”

    Mi Xue’er stuck out her tongue. She had already gotten tired of these courses in her previous life, and she had the experience of cultivating to the Mystic King realm. She didn’t need a mere Mystic Master to teach her.

    Yan Zhen was also indifferent. He had his beautiful master teaching him. Attending classes was purely a waste of time. The reason he came to the Mystic Academy was to go to the Sacred Land Academy and eventually enter the Azure Lotus Sacred Land.

    This was the goal and path of many young people in the Azure Lotus Realm, from the Mystic Academy to the Sacred Land Academy and then to the Sacred Land, just like going from elementary school to university and then becoming a civil servant on Earth.

    Yan Zhen continued to immerse himself in drawing the talisman patterns until he finished drawing after a class ended.

    However, the drawn talisman pattern was completely different from the actual Fire Talisman, which meant it was a failure.

    Yan Zhen was not discouraged and continued to draw.

    When he came back to his senses to take a breath, it was already noon.

    Yan Zhen still wanted to continue drawing, but Mi Xue’er dragged him to eat.

    In the afternoon’s mystic technique class, Instructor Yu Xuan was still teaching the Void-Breaking Seal. After demonstrating it again, she let the students practice on their own while she observed and guided them from the side.

    The training ground was outdoors. Under the scorching sun, Instructor Yu Xuan quickly started sweating and hid in the shade, not coming out. She thought it was time to prepare something to relieve the heat.

    Her physique was just afraid of heat.

    Yan Zhen looked at the clear sky and thought it was time to give the instructor something to relieve the heat.

    Night fell.

    To avoid the suspicion of the few women, Instructor Yu Xuan didn’t cook tonight. The five of them ate takeout from the restaurant.

    After eating and taking a bath, they each returned to their rooms.

    In the room, Yan Zhen lay on the bed in his pajamas. He took out a self-selected first-grade mystic pill and a self-selected first-grade mystic tool from the system backpack and chose the first-grade mystic medicine “Ice Condensing Dew” and the first-grade mystic tool “Snow Wind Pearl”.

    Ice Condensing Dew: After applying, it can keep the skin moist and cool for a whole day, and it can also withstand direct sunlight. It is a sacred item for avoiding heat.

    Snow Wind Pearl: After infusing mystic power, it can stably lower the temperature when placed indoors. It is a sacred item for avoiding heat.

    19 Beautiful Master’s Talisman Drawing Trick

    [Ding! Key plot begins]

    [Current plot progress – Chapter 66: Drawing the Fire Talisman]

    [Performance requirement: Successfully draw the Ancestral Fire Talisman under the guidance of the beautiful master]

    [Completion: 0%]

    Hearing the system’s voice in his mind, Yan Zhen perked up and carefully listened to his beautiful master’s teachings.

    Chen Xi said while drawing the talisman pattern, “There are two main points to drawing talisman patterns. One is sufficient mystic power, and the other is a stable state of mind. Control the mystic power with your mind to infuse it into the vermilion, draw along the correct pattern, and the output of mystic power cannot be interrupted during the process. The state of mind must not be scattered.”

    “Among the nine talisman patterns, the Fire Talisman has the least strokes, only thirteen in total, but it is also the most difficult for beginners. Because the Fire Talisman itself is relatively violent, with each stroke drawn, the level of violence of the talisman pattern will deepen, greatly increasing the difficulty of drawing the next stroke. If you are slightly careless, all previous efforts will be in vain. The margin for error is very low.”

    “But the Fire Talisman has a broader range of uses. This master believes that with Zhen’er’s talent, you will definitely master it quickly!”

    By the time she finished speaking, Chen Xi had also finished drawing the Fire Talisman. A vermilion-colored flame-shaped talisman pattern appeared on the yellow paper, with mystic power of fire flames flowing through each stroke. The intense high temperature emanated from that talisman pattern, causing Yan Zhen’s cheeks to turn fiery red.

    The ordinary yellow paper couldn’t withstand the secret power of such an Ancestral Fire Talisman. It quickly ignited and turned to ashes in the beautiful talisman fire in the blink of an eye.

    Although it was only a fleeting moment, Yan Zhen was very clear about how dangerous that talisman fire was. Its power was no less than the Gold and Silver Fire.

    “Zhen’er, you try it.”

    Chen Xi handed the brush to Yan Zhen on the opposite side of the square platform.

    Yan Zhen took a deep breath, took the brush, dipped it in vermilion, and began drawing according to the key points mentioned by his beautiful master and the Fire Talisman pattern in his mind.

    The first stroke was very simple, just like writing. It was drawn very smoothly.

    However, after finishing the first stroke and trying to connect the second stroke, a formless resistance suddenly attacked, as if he had fallen into a mud pit, making it difficult for Yan Zhen to move the brush tip along the correct pattern.

    He slightly concentrated his mind and gradually increased the output of mystic power, slowly drawing the second stroke and turning to the third stroke.

    That formless resistance suddenly doubled. Yan Zhen felt as if he was wearing hundreds of pounds of shackles on his hand, making it difficult to move.

    At the same time, a slight pain came from between his eyebrows, making him feel a bit dizzy.

    Yan Zhen frowned, endured the discomfort, and once again controlled the mystic power to increase the output.

    Bang!

    The mystic power released from the brush tip suddenly lost control and exploded, blasting away the brush in Yan Zhen’s hand and shattering the yellow paper into pieces.

    On the first attempt at drawing, he failed at only the third stroke.

    Yan Zhen scratched his head in embarrassment.

    “It’s so difficult.”

    However, Chen Xi nodded her chin in great satisfaction. “Not bad. Being able to draw to the third stroke on the first attempt. But you still haven’t grasped the key points. This master will teach you again.”

    “Thank you, Master.”

    Yan Zhen was about to hand the brush back to his beautiful master, but he saw her walk around from the opposite side of the square platform to behind him and grasp his brush-holding hand from behind.

    His beautiful master’s hand was ice-cold, like a piece of cold jade, yet soft as if boneless. Being held like this felt like being wrapped in jelly.

    The faint ink-like fragrance wafted past his nose, making Yan Zhen strongly aware of how close his beautiful master was to him.

    The question was, was this how talisman drawing was taught? It wasn’t like teaching a primary school student to write!

    He heard his beautiful master say, “In talisman drawing, every stroke and every line has its intricacies, but the essence is difficult to convey and needs to be comprehended by oneself… Zhen’er, calm your mind and feel how this master draws.”

    Yan Zhen nodded, trying not to pay attention to the chest pressure coming from his back, and focused all his attention on his right hand held by his beautiful master.

    Chen Xi held Yan Zhen’s brush-holding hand and began slowly drawing the Fire Talisman she had just drawn.

    The first stroke, the second stroke, the third stroke. The first three strokes were very smooth. Only when reaching the fourth stroke did that formless resistance appear.

    Yan Zhen’s heart tightened. He stared at the pattern on the yellow paper without blinking.

    Soon, his beautiful master increased the output of mystic power, and the brush tip easily broke through the resistance as if cutting through tofu.

    Unlike Yan Zhen, while increasing the mystic power, she mobilized her divine soul to stabilize the distribution of mystic power to the utmost detail, keeping the violent Fire Talisman quiet and still.

    Drawing all thirteen strokes until the Fire Talisman was formed, it self-ignited and was destroyed.

    “How was it, Zhen’er?”

    “I think I understand.”

    “Then try again.”

    Chen Xi let go of Yan Zhen’s hand but didn’t leave from behind him. Her G-cup sacred peaks still pressed against the boy’s back.

    She slightly tilted her head, her gaze passing over her disciple’s shoulder and falling on the yellow paper on the platform.

    Yan Zhen swallowed his saliva, trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and continued to hold the brush to draw the talisman.

    Unfortunately, it exploded again at three strokes, but the third stroke was a bit longer than the first time.

    Chen Xi intentionally or unintentionally leaned close to Yan Zhen’s ear, her pink lips almost touching his earlobe, but she urged in a teacher’s tone, “There’s progress, Zhen’er, but it’s not enough. Continue.”

    His ear was tickled by his beautiful master’s exhaled breath as she spoke. Although it was a very serious tone, it sounded a bit charming to Yan Zhen.

    Yan Zhen couldn’t help but let his mind wander, but he also cursed himself for being ungrateful. His beautiful master was clearly teaching him wholeheartedly, almost treating him like a primary school student. How could he have wild thoughts as if being seduced?

    Bring out the willpower, the willpower of being the protagonist!

    So Yan Zhen drew again. This time it exploded as soon as he finished the second stroke.

    Chen Xi frowned, seeing that Yan Zhen was obviously not focused enough. She lightly scolded, “Zhen’er, don’t forget the two main points this master told you. The mystic power must be sufficient, and the state of mind must be stable, especially the latter. Drawing talismans is for cultivating the spirit, and cultivating the spirit is for the Dao of arts. Whether the talisman is formed or not is only the result. The state of mind during the process is more important.”

    Yan Zhen weakly said, “Master, I understand. I will focus on drawing.”

    The fourth time, it was no different from the previous time. It exploded as soon as he reached the third stroke.

    It was getting worse and worse.

    Yan Zhen instantly felt guilty. This was a key plot. If he couldn’t draw it, he wouldn’t be able to complete the task!

    “What’s wrong, Zhen’er?” Chen Xi secretly curved the corner of her mouth into a cunning arc and covered Yan Zhen’s forehead with her hand. “Are you feeling unwell?”

    “Master, I’m fine. I’m just a bit… you know…”

    Yan Zhen’s little face turned red. He hunched his back slightly in guilt to avoid his beautiful master noticing his abnormality.

    However, Chen Xi keenly captured Yan Zhen’s action. Her gaze followed the center line of his body and fell until it was blocked by a small bulge.

    “Zhen’er, you…” Chen Xi’s cheeks flushed red, and a hint of coquettish blame appeared in her tone. “You are in the midst of cultivation now. Don’t let desire cloud your mind.”

  • They All Want to Be My Female Lead v2 c18

    18 Older Female Teacher.AVI

    Mi Xue’er was greatly surprised, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light. “Little Brother Yan Zhen, when did you become a supreme-level VIP of the Gold and Jade(Jade Gem) Chamber of Commerce?”

    Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er were also very curious.

    Previously, when Yan Meng’er and Huangfu Wenqing went to buy dresses, they heard the cashier say that Yan Zhen’s consumption at the Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce was all free. They thought it was a privilege only in Martial Tang City and didn’t expect it to be the same in Silver Moon City.

    Speaking of the Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce, their head shopkeeper would later have a sworn brotherhood with her Cousin Yan Zhen, having an extremely good relationship. Even Cousin Yan Zhen’s wedding was single-handedly arranged by that rich sister.

    But at this time, they didn’t know each other yet. How could they give Cousin Yan Zhen the treatment of a supreme-level VIP?

    Could it be…

    Yan Meng’er thought of a horrifying possibility.

    Yan Zhen also suspected that the rich sister was like him, having read the complete script and knowing that he had the potential of a great emperor, so she invested in him in advance.

    –System, what do you think?

    [The host is overthinking. The script is generated by this system. Other people can’t possibly see it.]

    –What if you’re a double agent?

    [My heart and actions are as clear as a bright mirror. Everything I do is for the host. The host shouldn’t doubt this system’s loyalty.]

    –Hmm~

    Although he didn’t know whether what the system said was true or false, hearing these words was very pleasing.

    Yan Zhen didn’t take advantage of the free items and grab a lot. He made an invoice, took the items, and left.

    Getting things for free was a beautiful thing, but there was also a saying: the most expensive things are the free ones.

    Knowing when to stop was important.

    After buying the yellow paper and vermilion, he had to go shopping with the three girls. After all, they accompanied him to buy things, so he couldn’t just slip away after buying his stuff.

    Loyalty was also important.

    Therefore, when they were preparing to go home in the evening, Yan Zhen was already hanging with big and small bags, while the three girls were carrying the food packed from the restaurant, walking in front.

    When they got home, they found that the door lock was open. After knocking on the door, Instructor Yu Xuan came out to open the door.

    “You’re back. I cooked… You packed food from the restaurant?”

    “Instructor, you cooked again? Then we don’t need these dishes.”

    Mi Xue’er was extremely happy because Instructor Yu Xuan’s cooking skills were even better than the restaurant chefs. The key was that they rarely ate her cooking. She was already a bit tired of the restaurant food, but she couldn’t cook herself.

    Instructor Yu Xuan gave Mi Xue’er a side-eye. “We can’t waste food. Let’s finish it all. Anyway, there’s one more big eater now.”

    She looked at Yan Zhen, who was almost drowned in big and small bags, and smiled with pursed lips, as beautiful as a blooming narcissus, gentle and charming.

    Yan Zhen could only smile awkwardly but politely. Since he refined the Gold and Silver Fire, his appetite had doubled. In the future, when he refined more extreme flames, ordinary food wouldn’t be enough to fill his stomach. He would need to take pills.

    The group walked into the main house.

    The girls first unloaded the big and small bags from Yan Zhen before sitting down in the dining room.

    Seeing the sumptuous meal that was no less than yesterday’s, Mi Xue’er’s eyes lit up, and she was almost drooling. She quickly picked up a piece of hand-torn cabbage.

    “Instructor rarely cooked before. How come you’ve been cooking for two days in a row? I’ve been begging you to cook before, but you wouldn’t. Did something good happen recently?”

    Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er were also very curious. Although Instructor Yu Xuan’s cooking skills were very good, she rarely cooked for them.

    In her previous life, Yan Meng’er had lived with Instructor Yu Xuan for several years, but she didn’t get to eat her cooking much.

    Could it be because of–

    Instructor Yu Xuan secretly glanced at Yan Zhen, who was quietly eating. Her pretty face showed no abnormality, and she said indifferently, “Just a whim. I cook when I feel like it. Don’t always count on me. You’re also a girl. You should at least master basic cooking skills. Otherwise, your in-laws might look down on you when you get married in the future.”

    “Then I’ll marry a husband who won’t mind that I can’t cook.”

    Mi Xue’er silently thought that Yan Zhen’s parents had passed away, and he only had a beloved grandfather. No one would look down on her.

    Of course, if Yan Zhen wanted to eat dishes made by her own hands, she could learn.

    “Little Brother Yan Zhen, would you look down on a girl who doesn’t know how to cook?”

    It was a sharp question. The four girls immediately focused their gazes on Yan Zhen.

    Yan Zhen was completely unaware. After chewing and swallowing the food in his mouth, he casually perfunctorily said, “I won’t.”

    Hearing this, Mi Xue’er was secretly delighted, and Yan Ruyu also breathed a sigh of relief. But then they heard Yan Meng’er ask, “Then, Cousin, do you think a girl who can’t cook or a girl who can cook is better?”

    “What kind of question is this? Compared to one who can’t, of course one who can is better.”

    Yan Zhen answered while shoveling rice into his mouth.

    Therefore, Instructor Yu Xuan and Yan Meng’er both smiled with satisfaction.

    Mi Xue’er and Yan Ruyu suddenly realized: based on Yan Zhen’s performance with such a big appetite, he definitely preferred someone who could cook.

    –Should I start learning tomorrow?

    Yan Ruyu still had some cooking basics and would occasionally make some late-night snacks. Only Mi Xue’er was a complete young miss who waited for food to be served. She felt a strong sense of crisis.

    Yan Zhen quickly finished his meal and then went to take a bath.

    Because of the mishap last night, Yan Zhen didn’t dare to soak in the bathtub anymore. After washing his body clean, he changed into his pajamas and returned to his room.

    He skillfully activated the Star Shifting Fire Seal and entered the crystal space.

    Chen Xi wasn’t sitting with her eyes closed in meditation but standing at the edge of the altar, gazing at the starry sky outside the sky pillar.

    “Master.”

    Yan Zhen called out. As his beautiful master turned around, he gradually became dumbfounded.

    Because his beautiful master’s attire was very different from usual.

    Usually, his beautiful master wore a black long-sleeved dress with white hair parted in the middle and hanging down, like a celestial being;

    When sparring with him, she would change into a similarly black tight-fitting warrior outfit, with her white hair tied into a high ponytail, giving off a hint of a female knight’s aura in addition to her celestial air.

    But now, his beautiful master was actually wearing a leather black one-step skirt. The skirt only reached her knees, and the rest was all wrapped in shiny black stockings. She was even wearing black high heels.

    The upper body was a white shirt. Although there was no decoration, the front bulged into a heart-stopping arc, more eye-catching than any decoration.

    The white hair was also coiled up, revealing a graceful swan neck and delicate little ears. There was even a pair of oval glasses on her straight nose bridge.

    This, this was clearly a proper older female teacher.AVI, right?

    How could his beautiful master wear such clothes?

    The key was, where did she get them?

    Yan Zhen was confused, his little heart pounding wildly.

    “Zhen’er, did you buy the things?”

    While he was in a daze, Chen Xi had already walked up to her disciple in high heels, her face showing no abnormality.

    “Ah? Oh, I bought everything.”

    Yan Zhen quickly came back to his senses and displayed the yellow paper, vermilion, and brushes.

    Chen Xi nodded. With a hook of her finger, a certain square on the ground quickly rose, stopping when it was at the same height as her lower abdomen.

    Yan Zhen placed the items on the square platform. Chen Xi took a brush, dipped it in vermilion, and began drawing on the yellow paper.

  • They All Want to Be My Female Lead v2 c17

    17 Your Consumption is All Free 

    Seeing the girl he liked hugging another boy and shyly saying the word “like”, Lan Ke’s mind exploded with a bang, and his reason instantly disappeared, leaving only one thought:

    Kill Yan Zhen!

    He suddenly erupted with the aura of a 9-star Mystic Scholar, condensing Qi in his palm and forcefully slapping towards Yan Zhen’s face.

    Yan Zhen, who had thoroughly read the script, naturally knew that Lan Ke would be enraged and launch a sneak attack, so he was prepared.

    He activated the Imperial Blaze Art, mobilizing the extreme flame mystic power fused with Gold and Silver Fire from the fire seed of the technique, and punched out.

    Fist against palm, ice mystic power against fire mystic power, producing a strong explosion.

    Bang!

    The two separated as soon as they touched. Lan Ke retreated three steps, while Yan Zhen also staggered and bumped into the wall behind him.

    Just in terms of mystic power, 5-star Mystic Scholar Yan Zhen could only be evenly matched with 9-star Mystic Scholar Lan Ke. To determine the outcome, he had to use mystic techniques.

    Feeling a burning pain in his palm, Lan Ke felt extremely humiliated. He didn’t expect Yan Zhen to react so quickly. Even in a hasty confrontation, he fought him to a draw.

    How could a 5-star Mystic Scholar have such strong mystic power? He was a 9-star, and a top one at that. Even when facing a Mystic Master, he had the strength to fight. How could a mere 5-star Mystic Scholar be able to tie with him? He should have been completely crushed by him!

    “Cousin, are you alright?”

    Yan Meng’er hurriedly stepped forward to check on Yan Zhen’s condition. The latter shook his head, indicating that she didn’t need to worry.

    “Lan Ke!” Yan Ruyu shouted coquettishly and protected Yan Zhen behind her. “You actually dare to openly violate the academy rules. As an advanced class student, you made a move against an intermediate class student. I’m going to report you to the law enforcement instructor!”

    Mi Xue’er also disdainfully said, “A powerhouse on the Nine Stars List launching a sneak attack on a new student, truly shameless!”

    Hearing the two girls’ words, Lan Ke’s reason quickly returned, and his expression slightly changed.

    He looked around and found that the surrounding students were also casting strange gazes at him.

    The academy clearly stipulated that only lower-level students could challenge higher-level students, but higher-level students couldn’t bully lower-level students.

    Although Lan Ke wouldn’t face too severe punishment for openly violating the academy rules with his identity, it was still a loss of face. Moreover, he had also fought to a draw, making it even more embarrassing.

    Lan Ke could already imagine the various ridicule from other opponents on the Nine Stars List.

    He didn’t say anything else, glared fiercely at Yan Zhen, then turned and left, not even caring about his lackeys.

    Yan Zhen didn’t stop him either. This part of the plot ended here. To deal with Lan Ke, he still had to wait until later.

    Because of Lan Ke’s disruption, the four of them had no mood to eat anymore.

    Yan Ruyu was worried that Lan Ke would still cause trouble for Yan Zhen, so she suggested going to find Instructor Yu Xuan to handle this matter.

    In Instructor Yu Xuan’s independent office.

    The reincarnated Instructor Yu Xuan wasn’t worried at all that Yan Zhen would really have an accident. Before long, Lan Ke would no longer be Yan Zhen’s match. The one who should be in trouble should be Lan Ke.

    But she still agreed, saying that she would let Lan Ke’s instructor restrain the other party, so they didn’t need to worry.

    “Thank you, Instructor Yu Xuan.”

    “You’re welcome. You’re my disciple, so this is what I should do.”

    Instructor Yu Xuan seemed to have forgotten about the ambiguity last night, showing her usual gentle smile.

    Yan Zhen thought that he might as well take this opportunity to get closer to her to avoid affecting the subsequent plot.

    In the afternoon, it was the mystic technique class, and the instructor in charge was none other than Instructor Yu Xuan.

    She taught a palm technique called “Void-Breaking Seal”, which could externalize mystic power a short distance to achieve the effect of injuring people from afar.

    Mystic power externalization was the mark of a Mystic Master. If one had the means to break through the void with mystic power before becoming a Mystic Master, their combat power would be significantly enhanced.

    Of course, this couldn’t be compared to true mystic power externalization at all, because the Void-Breaking Seal consumed a lot of mystic power, had a very short flight distance, and the power was also reduced. It was only suitable for unexpected sneak attacks.

    Instructor Yu Xuan demonstrated while explaining the key points, then let the students practice on wooden stakes while she observed and guided them from the side.

    As a reincarnator, Mi Xue’er had long mastered this mystic technique, so she was just going through the motions, her mind completely on Yan Zhen next to her.

    Yan Ruyu felt as if she had already learned the Void-Breaking Seal before, quickly grasping it to a good degree. From half a meter away, she slapped the wooden stake, leaving a faint palm print.

    As for Yan Zhen, he was similar to Yan Ruyu, learning it very smoothly. The palm print he left was even more obvious than Yan Ruyu’s because his mystic power itself was very domineering.

    Instructor Yu Xuan secretly paid attention to Yan Zhen. Seeing him smoothly learn the Void-Breaking Seal like in the previous life, she smiled slightly.

    This meant that Yan Zhen had listened to her lecture attentively.

    After the mystic technique class, it was free time.

    The two girls invited Yan Zhen to go shopping together.

    Yan Zhen knew what they were after, but he didn’t mind and readily agreed because he also wanted to buy some yellow paper and vermilion.

    Just like at noon, the three of them first went to the junior class to find Yan Meng’er, then left the academy together and went to the street, or more precisely, to the Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce in Silver Moon City.

    The Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce had branches in the ten major cities of the Gallo Kingdom. The one in Silver Moon City was even larger in scale than the one in Martial Tang City.

    Yan Zhen, according to the script, said that he was going to buy some yellow paper and vermilion and wouldn’t walk with them to avoid being used as a porter by them.

    However, Mi Xue’er smiled and said, “Since we came out together, let’s walk together. We’ll go with you to buy yellow paper and vermilion first, and then we’ll buy our things after.”

    Uh. Yan Zhen was at a loss for words because the script wasn’t written this way. Mi Xue’er should have said to him, “Then see you later, Little Brother Yan Zhen~”, not showing a little devil expression like now, looking like she was determined to make him carry bags.

    “Won’t this be too much of a waste of time?”

    “No. Walking and walking with friends is the joy of shopping~ Let’s go, let’s go.”

    Saying that, Mi Xue’er actually boldly hugged Yan Zhen’s arm and pulled him forward, as if they were a newly confirmed shy couple.

    Looking at their intimate backs, Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er glanced at each other, both becoming suspicious.

    –Is Xue’er (Sister) getting more and more enthusiastic towards Yan Zhen (Cousin)?

    With doubts in mind, the sisters hurriedly caught up with the two in front and came to the area selling talisman drawing tools.

    “Yan Zhen, are you going to learn to draw talismans?”

    “No, just buying them to practice calligraphy and cultivate the mind.”

    “…Who are you trying to fool? Who uses yellow paper and vermilion to practice calligraphy!”

    “Yeah, I’m fooling ghosts.”

    After being stunned for a moment, Yan Ruyu reacted and said angrily, “Are you saying I’m a ghost?”

    Yan Zhen politely curled the corner of his mouth.

    “Hello, Butt Ghost.”

    Hearing Yan Zhen joking about her butt again, Yan Ruyu was so angry that she couldn’t take it anymore. Yan Meng’er hurriedly comforted her, but Mi Xue’er became vigilant.

    –How come it feels like Ruyu’s relationship with Little Brother Yan Zhen is much closer compared to the previous life?

    She suddenly remembered.

    In the morning during class, Yan Ruyu specifically went around to the other side to sit next to Yan Zhen. In the previous life, Yan Ruyu sat next to her and didn’t dare to get so close to Yan Zhen.

    Could it be that the Ruyu of this life had changed her temperament?

    Yan Zhen’s thoughts weren’t as complicated as the three girls’. After buying enough yellow paper and vermilion, he went to the counter to pay.

    However, the cashier lady stared at him for a while, then politely asked, “May I ask if you are Young Master Yan Zhen from Martial Tang City?”

    Yan Zhen was stunned. “It’s me. What’s the matter?”

    The lady became even more respectful. “You are a supreme-level VIP of our chamber of commerce. Except for certain specific goods, all other consumption is completely free. You only need to have the invoice made out.”

    Ah, this… again? Yan Zhen didn’t understand. The Chamber of Commerce in Martial Tang City gave him free stuff, but it was still free in Silver Moon City?

  • They All Want to Be My Female Lead v2 c16

    16 Like, Like~

    During the noon break, Yan Zhen was unsurprisingly called to a corner by the big brothers of the class. Several 5-star and 6-star Mystic Scholars surrounded him, wanting to give him a warning.

    Yan Zhen could have easily dealt with them on the spot. However, after Yan Ruyu and Mi Xue’er noticed that he had been called away, they came looking for him, stopped the other party, and took him away.

    That’s how it was in the script, so Yan Zhen didn’t resist and followed Yan Ruyu and Mi Xue’er to the junior class to pick up Yan Meng’er. The four of them then went to the cafeteria together.

    After getting their food, the four of them found an empty table and sat down. Yan Meng’er still stuck close to Yan Zhen. Yan Ruyu hesitated slightly, then also sat next to Yan Zhen’s other side. Mi Xue’er, who couldn’t snatch a good spot, could only sit opposite Yan Zhen.

    At least she could see him eating when she looked up.

    While eating, Yan Zhen listened in all directions and observed everything. Soon, he spotted the target person.

    [Ding! Key plot begins]

    [Current plot progress – Chapter 60: Lan Ke]

    [Performance requirement: Actively pretend to be cousin’s boyfriend, angering the fickle bad boy pursuing cousin]

    [Completion: 0%]

    This requirement… he definitely had no problem. He was just afraid that Yan Ruyu wouldn’t cooperate.

    Yan Zhen was on high alert. He saw the young lord of Silver Moon City who liked Yan Ruyu walking over with two people and stopping beside them.

    “Ruyu, after being apart for nearly two months, I finally see you again.”

    The three girls all stopped eating and looked up at the person who came.

    “Lan Ke?” Yan Ruyu spoke. She subconsciously glanced at Yan Zhen, not too happy. “Do you have something to do?”

    Lan Ke was suave and said with a smile, “I just wanted to see you, so I came.”

    The two reincarnators, Yan Meng’er and Mi Xue’er, silently complained that this person was really thirsty.

    If such sweet talk was said to a girlfriend, the girlfriend might be moved, but Yan Ruyu was not Lan Ke’s girlfriend and didn’t like him. Hearing it only made her feel disgusted.

    Yan Ruyu didn’t flare up. After all, the other party’s cultivation and identity were there. She just said indifferently, “I’m eating with my friends. If there’s nothing else, don’t disturb us.”

    “There’s one more thing to ask you.” Lan Ke was unhurried. He pointed at Yan Zhen who was still eating. “I heard he’s your cousin?”

    Yan Ruyu frowned slightly. “So what if he is?”

    “If he is, then it’s fine.”

    Lan Ke got a satisfactory answer and smiled, planning to gloss over it. But then he heard Yan Zhen say indifferently, “What if I’m not?”

    The smile was still hanging on the corner of Lan Ke’s mouth, but his voice turned slightly cold. “Then there would be a big problem.”

    “Then I’m really not.” Yan Zhen put down his chopsticks and looked at Lan Ke leisurely. “Now what problems do you have?”

    The attitude as if deliberately picking a fight made Lan Ke’s expression sink.

    “Ruyu, this cousin of yours is a bit impolite.”

    Yan Ruyu was worried that Yan Zhen would clash with Lan Ke and was about to tell Yan Zhen to behave. But then she heard Lan Ke say that Yan Zhen was not, and instantly became unhappy.

    “Because you’re disturbing our meal! If there’s nothing else, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

    “Ruyu, you know I don’t mean to offend. It’s just that yesterday, this cousin of yours beat up Bu Luo, injuring him quite badly. I didn’t make an issue of it with him for your sake. Now he has such an arrogant attitude, frankly speaking, it’s very bad and easily causes trouble.”

    Lan Ke spoke in the tone of an elder, as if he was really saying these things for Yan Zhen’s sake.

    Yan Zhen secretly thought that the villains in carefree novels were indeed quite good at pretending. Don’t be impatient, he would break his defense soon.

    “It’s none of your f*cking business. Could it be that you’re fantasizing about being my cousin-in-law, deliberately saying words of an elder teaching a junior, to satisfy your own delusions? Wow, that’s too thirsty. Even a blind person can see that Elder Sister Ruyu doesn’t like you, yet you’re still trying to get close to her here.”

    Yan Zhen exposed Lan Ke’s thoughts with one sentence, making the latter’s face alternate between red and white.

    Yan Ruyu also silently spat. What cousin-in-law, just spouting nonsense!

    “What, did I hit the nail on the head, leaving you speechless?” Yan Zhen continued to attack. “Young people don’t study properly, always thinking about romance. The key is, you can pursue romance, but you don’t allow others to approach the person you like. What a childish mentality.”

    It could be seen that Lan Ke was already angry from embarrassment. His hand hidden in his sleeve had already clenched into a fist.

    In the end, Lan Ke was also just a young man in his twenties. How could he argue with the keyboard warrior Yan Zhen?

    “Your name is Yan Zhen, right? Do you know what you’re saying?”

    “Are you angry? Then I’ll say something that will make you even angrier. The one Elder Sister Ruyu likes is me.”

    These words shocked the four people present. Not only Lan Ke, but the other onlookers in the cafeteria were also very surprised. The most shocked was Yan Ruyu herself. She was almost trembling like a sieve.

    How, how did he know? Could it be Meng’er? Did Meng’er betray me?

    Suddenly, Yan Zhen opened his arms and wrapped them around Yan Meng’er and Yan Ruyu’s slender waists, one on the left and one on the right, like a dissolute young master entering a brothel, embracing beauties on both sides.

    “Our Yan family has a clan rule. After the daughters of cousins reach a certain age, they prioritize serving the clan leader or young clan leader of the same generation. I am the young clan leader of this generation. They are not only my elder and younger female cousins but also my future concubines. So you guys shouldn’t have any thoughts about Elder Sister Ruyu or Sister Meng’er anymore. It’s destined to be fruitless.”

    Lan Ke was stunned, and the students watching the commotion were also stunned. There are still clans with such rules?

    Only the three girls understood that Yan Zhen deliberately said this. The content of the clan rule was not like that at all.

    Yan Meng’er secretly bloomed with joy in her heart. After being reborn, she had been looking forward to this moment.

    Cousin Yan Zhen took the initiative to hug her! Although it was only to act for Lan Ke to see, it was indeed him who took the initiative to hug her.

    She immediately cooperated with the act, leaning on Yan Zhen’s shoulder like a little bird, and even said coquettishly, “Cousin, so many people are watching. I’m shy~”

    Yan Zhen was speechless. You’re shy my a\*s. Usually, you’re always guiding us in the direction of incest. Do you really think others can’t see it!

    Unlike the cousin who pretended to be shy, Yan Ruyu, who was hugged by Yan Zhen in public, was truly extremely embarrassed. She almost subconsciously pushed him away, but also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately, it wasn’t exposed.

    Thinking that she could take the opportunity to make Lan Ke give up, coupled with Yan Meng’er’s hint, Yan Ruyu plucked up her courage and also hugged Yan Zhen’s waist.

    “…”

    Seeing Yan Zhen hugging Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er, Mi Xue’er was envious of this pair of sister flowers. Lan Ke, on the other hand, was jealous to the point of almost distorting. He couldn’t accept the fact before his eyes and said coldly through gritted teeth, “Ruyu can’t possibly like you. You’re coercing them with the clan rules! Are you even a man?”

    Yan Zhen acted as if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world, with an exaggerated and pretentious manner. “Sister Meng’er, Elder Sister Ruyu, you don’t like me?”

    Hearing this, Yan Meng’er immediately kissed Yan Zhen’s cheek and said coquettishly, “Of course I like you. Meng’er likes Cousin Yan Zhen the most~”

    Yan Zhen’s expression slightly stiffened, thinking that the incestuous cousin was taking advantage of him. In the script, she didn’t kiss him in public.

    However, what Yan Ruyu did next made him even more shocked. He saw his elder cousin actually also kissing his other cheek, then lowering her head and muttering in a small voice, “Like, like.”

    –Oh my god, the sun has risen from the west?

    Not only Yan Zhen, but Mi Xue’er was also dumbfounded.

    –Is this really Ruyu?

    Yan Meng’er: (><)☆

    Yan Ruyu: /(//o/ω/o//)/
