Qin Xiao looked at the bracelet with a strange and surprised expression.

Ilya sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong, Master? Is there a problem?"

Qin Xiao said quietly, "Do you still remember Bu Feifei?"

Ilya paused for a moment, then realized, "Of course, not that... cult spy, right?"

"She's looking for you again, Master?"

Ilya looked surprised and couldn't quite understand what was going on.

Qin Xiao was also confused about what was going on with this thing.

Just then, the bracelet vibrated again.

Bu Feifei: What's wrong, Xiaoxiao? Are you so happy you can't speak?

Qin Xiao's expression was solemn, regardless of whether his contact with the other party would be considered as collusion with a cult.

It's absurd that Feifei hasn't been caught after all this time and has even managed to sneak back into the capital.

Qin Xiao: Tell me, where are you again?

Bu Feifei replied instantly.

Bu Feifei: What's wrong? Is Xiaoxiao going to sacrifice her dear for the greater good? Doesn't she have any place in your heart at all?

Qin Xiao was speechless, as if we had some kind of connection.

Even if there is a relationship, it's at most a relationship where they've had physical attraction to each other.

Qin Xiao mounted Ilya, not intending to reply; she might just be trying to tease him.

There's no benefit to it at all. When she gets bored, she just teases him for fun, without giving him any pleasure.

Ilya strode toward the lakeside cottage.

Just then, the bracelet rang again.

Bu Feifei: I'm heartbroken. I'm at your lakeside cottage. If you don't comfort me, I'll drag you and self-destruct!

Qin Xiao's eyes widened. What the hell?

This isn't just a problem, this is fucking weird.

"Ilya, hurry up, there might be a problem at home."

Qin Xiao said in a deep voice, without replying to the message, but simply told Ilya to speed up.

Upon hearing this, Ilya immediately took a step forward and moved at full speed.

The scenery blurred behind him as he traversed nearly half of the school district before rushing back to the lakeside cottage.

I opened the door and went inside.

In the hall, a figure sat with his back to Qin Xiao, and the three women, including Lu Chengxiao, chatted somewhat awkwardly.

He walked forward with a solemn expression, but his look was somewhat puzzled.

Sakura Chiyuki?

She wore a sexy shrine maiden outfit, had a delicate face, and exuded a gentle yet aloof aura.

"Ah, Lord Qin Xiao has returned. I apologize for the intrusion in visiting!"

As he spoke, the other person bent over deeply.

The action, which was originally quite neon-colored, was perfectly demonstrated by the other party's shrine maiden outfit.

When apologizing, you need to show off your breasts to show sincerity...

Although I couldn't see it all, it was practically the same as seeing everything.

All I can say is that the other person has a very even and fair complexion.

"Ahem, um, what exactly do you want?"

Qin Xiao disregarded Bu Feifei's words and asked with some confusion.

They had barely left when they chased after us. What could be so urgent?

The other person straightened up, a slight smile playing on their lips, though it was unclear whether it was due to their own behavior or Qin Xiao's unease.

She glanced at the three beauties around her, each with a different posture, and said, "Although it may be impolite, Your Excellency Qin Xiao, I still request to speak with you privately."

Before Lu Chengxiao and Ye Qinghuan could react to these words, Ye Qingya stood up abruptly.

"no!"

Um?

Three pairs of eyes looked at her, filled with surprise and confusion.

Ye Qingya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and quickly tried to make amends.

"Ahem, what I mean is, as a World Youth Championship contestant from Japan, who knows what your true intentions are?"

Sakura Chiyuki maintained her steady smile. "Mayor Ye, rest assured, I have no ill intentions. This is, after all, Huawu Kingdom."

Besides, what can I do? They're no match for Lord Qin Xiao. Don't you believe in Lord Qin Xiao's strength?

Sakura Chiyuki's words were a mix of softness and firmness; she displayed her weakness while subtly provoking Ye Qingya.

It's fair to say that this move was a masterclass in feigned innocence and manipulative tactics.

Qin Xiao didn't think too much about it, but he looked a little puzzled when he heard the other party's title for Ye Qingya.

"Ahem, Sister Qingya, it's alright. I'll talk to her and see what she's up to."

As he spoke, Qin Xiao gave Ye Qingya a look.

"Come on, if you want to talk privately, let's go upstairs."

As Qin Xiao spoke, he walked upstairs.

This lakeside cottage is quite large, but it lacks a private space suitable for conversation.

Fortunately, the room was large, and his room also had a reception area, not just his own bedroom which only had one bed.

Upon going upstairs, Qin Xiao didn't greet anyone and took a seat in the reception area first. Slovic brought up tea and snacks from downstairs.

Sakura Chiyuki first looked around the room before smiling and speaking.

"Is this your bedroom? I am truly flattered. However, the smell in Your room is rather complicated."

Qin Xiao frowned. "Stop talking nonsense. Who are you and what do you want?"

No wonder Qin Xiao was somewhat rude; he was simply feeling rather irritable.

He suspected that the woman opposite him might be related to Bu Feifei.

He disliked the feeling of being schemed against.

Sakura Chiyuki smiled, completely ignoring Qin Xiao's impatience, and sat down in her chair.

"Mr. Qin Xiao, do you know anything about the venue for this World Youth Championship?"

"What if I know, or I don't?" Qin Xiao did not answer directly.

"Whether you know it or not is not important. What's important is that I know the inside story about this matter. Do you want to cooperate with me?"

Sakura Chiyuki picked up her cup and took a sip of hot tea.

"Pshaw~ Cooperation? What's so great about cooperation? To help you win?"

Qin Xiao scoffed, not mentioning what inside information the other party knew, as there was absolutely no possibility of negotiation on that matter.

Sakura Chiyuki smiled and shook her head, "Lord Qin Xiao, based on my observation, your strength is extremely powerful."

Even fighting against those of higher levels, like the Transcendent Realm, is no problem. But have you considered that this crisis might not just involve those of the Transcendent Realm?

Qin Xiao remained noncommittal. "So what? Even if the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up. If there is a major accident during the competition, a King-level demigod will naturally step in."

Since the other party didn't reveal their purpose or reason, Qin Xiao wouldn't act without seeing any benefit, and it was impossible for him to show any interest or curiosity.

"Your country's king-level demigods are indeed very intimidating, but this incident is not something that demigods can resolve."

If a crisis really breaks out, they'll be too busy taking care of themselves. What will you do then?

The other party spoke with great confidence and assurance, their tone carrying a hint of threat.

Qin Xiao laughed directly, "You, a mere Diamond-rank, have the audacity to say that a demigod cannot resist you."

Even if a demigod couldn't resist, what merit or ability do you possess? What gives Japan the confidence to control the situation?

Tiny Japan, acting like it's something special.

Sakura Chiyuki covered her mouth and giggled, her charm growing ever more alluring, the gentleness of a Yamato Nadeshiko completely gone.

"Who said I came representing Japan?"
