Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 268 Yan Qiuxi: Hey! I have a plan!
In all honesty, when Jiang Xiyu was about to climb into bed, she did feel guilty towards Yan Qiuxi for a moment... but Yan Wang's actions made her feel like a clown.

I knew this guy was no good! He sneaked onto the bed without a word! Leaving me to wait under the bed all alone!

Damn you, Yan Qiuxi! With your treacherous actions of betraying your allies, you still want to form an alliance against Qin? Dream on!

Although she was very angry, Xiao Jiang did not drag Yan Wang out to fight on the spot. After all, the two of them had sneaked into Duan Huaige's room to catch him in the act of adultery. If they failed to catch him in the act and instead became a laughing stock, it would be too embarrassing.

She climbed onto the other side of the bed and slipped into Duan Huaige's blankets as well. The warm, spring-like feeling made Xiao Jiang instinctively want to moan softly, but luckily she quickly covered herself with her hand to avoid being exposed.

Sure enough... Xiao Duan's bed is warmer than mine... Having a fireplace like this next to you in winter would be the ultimate comfort~
Jiang Xiyu, Jiang Xiyu, with a formidable enemy at hand, how can you indulge in the allure of men! Suddenly remembering that there was a despicable person who had betrayed her in this bed, Xiao Jiang immediately sobered up and fiercely pulled out her phone to question Yan Qiuxi.

Unexpectedly, the King of Yan's interrogation message had already been sent first:
[Little Jiang, Little Jiang, what do you mean by this? Trying to run away, huh? You've been caught this time, and there can't be a next time!]

Jiang Xiyu: ? ? ?

How dare you turn the tables! You were the one who went in first!

[Stop trying to shift the blame! I'm asking you, didn't we agree to lie in ambush outside? How come you went to Xiao Duan's bed first?!]

【You've misunderstood, little Jiang…】Yan Qiuxi typed back righteously: 【I'm worried that it won't be effective outside. Since we're going to wait for her to come to us, why not wait in Duan Huaige's bed? That way, when Qin Shuangjiang tries to climb into Duan Huaige's bed, I can pull back the covers and catch her off guard!】

Xiao Jiang initially wanted to yell at her, saying that she was too embarrassed to point out her ulterior motives... but then she thought that Yan Qiuxi's ideas seemed to be in line with her own amazing wisdom, so she silently deleted the words that were meant to scold Yan Qiuxi...

"Then let me ask you... why didn't you call me to come up with you!"

[You even talked about forming an alliance against Qin, but I think you're just using me as cannon fodder!]

"I was just worried you'd be too shy to wait in bed," Yan Qiuxi said shamelessly. "You two are childhood sweethearts, so you're a bit reserved. I'm different; getting into bed is something you get used to after a couple of tries..."

Xiao Jiang was slightly taken aback, and quickly typed: 【Wait, what did you mean by "practice makes perfect"?】

When did I ever get cheated on by Yan Qiuxi?

【Huh? Have you forgotten? Last time I brought Duan Huaige to Yanjing, didn't we sleep in the same bed?】

No! You were drunk at the time, so there was no crawling under the covers... Confess honestly, did you crawl under the covers again later?

King Yan hadn't expected Xiao Jiang's "green radar" to be so sharp. Naturally, she couldn't openly admit that she'd been beaten so badly by Qin Shuangjiang for days after trying to get into bed with him last time. So, she stubbornly denied it, saying, "That's exactly what I was talking about. What else could it be?"

Xiao Jiang glanced at the phone screen with some skepticism, feeling that something was off.

However… Yan Qiuxi’s words weren’t entirely unreasonable… If she really invited me to bed together… I’m afraid I would definitely act all proud and aloof, firmly refuse, and stop Yan Qiuxi from taking advantage of me, right?

[I haven't even asked you yet... You said I didn't call you, but you didn't call me when you came up either! Jiang Xiyu, Jiang Xiyu, is our alliance really that fragile?] Little Jiang blushed at Yan Qiuxi's accusation, and after thinking for a moment, she confidently typed back: [Wasn't I afraid you'd chicken out? Qin Shuangjiang hits you so hard every time, I was afraid you'd have PTSD. What if you couldn't even speak when you saw her? Then we'd go from catching someone cheating to being caught cheating ourselves!]

【…】

King Yan hesitated for a moment, and surprisingly, he also felt that what Xiao Jiang said made a lot of sense...

I was in the right, but if Qin Shuangjiang turns the tables and accuses me of having ulterior motives, that would be terrible... Maybe I should hide in the closet and let Xiao Jiang withstand Qin Shuangjiang's first outburst?
Miss Qiu Xi was a bit of a coward, but she also couldn't bear to leave her warm bed on this winter night. Compared to this place, the closet was as cold as an icebox...

Since we sisters share the same vision, why don't we join forces and attack from both sides? We're sure to catch Qin Shuangjiang and Xie Cangling completely off guard!

【It's Qin Shuangjiang! I believe my best friend Cangling wouldn't betray me!】 Xiao Jiang quickly typed to correct her.

The two girls huddled under the covers, typing to each other. Duan Huaige, the only one peeking out, kept her eyes tightly shut, barely daring to move...

If those two find out I'm still awake, I'm afraid they'll think I have more breasts than penis...

To protect himself, Duan Huaige used all his acting skills to prevent the two from noticing anything amiss, especially Yan Qiuxi, who was no kind soul and would seize any opportunity to cause trouble.

Sure enough, the two young ladies discussing their battle plan suddenly remembered an important question:

[Hey... what if Duan Huaige wakes up in the middle of the night and finds us here? How do we explain it? Just say... we sleepwalked here?]

"That reason is ridiculous. Duan Huaige isn't intelligent enough to accept it." After a moment's thought, Prince Yan said, "I think even if he wakes up and discovers us, he'll pretend not to notice and then secretly take advantage of us."

"You're right, that fits my stereotypical image of Duan Huaige as a lecherous old man." Xiao Jiang nodded in deep agreement.

"So we need to agree that if either party is taken advantage of intentionally or unintentionally, they must notify the other immediately. No one can secretly gloat and hum involuntarily." Yan Qiuxi continued, proposing.

Jiang Xiyu: ?

Yan Qiuxi, that's enough! Only you could come up with such an outrageous plot, right? How could I possibly be secretly enjoying this all by myself?

At most... at most, I'll just hum a little.
But... isn't it normal to move around a bit while sleeping? How can we tell if Duan Huaige is really asleep or just pretending?

Little Jiang, the Great Demon King, once again shone with extraordinary wisdom. Upon hearing this, Yan Qiuxi paused, then confidently typed:

Don't panic, I have a plan! Have you ever heard of the difference between physiological reflexes and psychological reflexes?

Xiao Jiang: ?
I'm an art student, so you might as well explain yourself more clearly.
