Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 392 Backstabbing the King of Qin was not my intention!
Your Excellency, please have some self-respect. I, Duan, am not the kind of person you imagine!

Duan Huaige originally wanted to yell at Xiao Xie, but he couldn't help but swallow the words back. As a seasoned pervert, especially one who had tasted the sweetness of love, it would be unreasonable to ask him to spit out the benefits that were already in his mouth.

Cang Ling didn't have any bad intentions. She just wanted to be close to me, her good brother. Can't I even grant her this simple wish?

So Duan Huaige silently chose to pretend he knew nothing, simply holding Xiao Xie in his arms and enjoying a moment of tranquility...

The Spirit-Nourishing Tree not far away swayed its branches slightly, as if wondering if this was its future stepmother.

Oh, so this is the type Dad likes... You should have said so earlier...

After a while, Xiao Xie raised her little face slightly and said, "Brother Huai Ge...did Cang Ling help you just now?"

"Of course, Cang Ling's contribution is considerable." Duan Huaige affectionately patted the girl's head and smiled, "Without your sacrifice, this magic weapon wouldn't have been so easy to refine."

"Then... Can Cangling, can I make an excessive request to my brother?" Xiao Xie blinked her big eyes and said timidly, "Just one."

"Tell me what you want, and I'll grant it!"

Having finished crafting the Human Emperor Banner, Duan Huaige was in high spirits, and with a flourish of his hand, he answered with great magnanimity. Xie Cangling's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, and she said softly:

"Then...can I have you, Brother Huaige...?"

Duan Huaige: ?

Ok?
The socially awkward version of Xiao Jiang after drinking is indeed far superior to Turtle Xiao Jiang. With this level of directness, Duan Huaige thinks Xiao Jiang won't be able to match him even after playing for several more seasons.

He felt a pang of emotion, but at this point, Duan Huaige couldn't easily agree to the girl's request.

It wasn't just for Qin Shuangjiang, the one who got the first blood, but also because of Xie Laodeng... You know, Prince Yan specifically instructed him not to trust the military too much. And Xie Laodeng is a member of the military. If he were to be tied to Xiao Xie at this time, it would mean he couldn't escape the military's surveillance and control.

In this way, it would undoubtedly be difficult for Duan Huaige to enter Kunlun Ruins from a non-military standpoint and find its secrets.

"Cangling, I don't know how to tell you... but right now, Brother Huaige's priority is fighting the demoness. Romantic feelings and such are irrelevant..."

"Brother Huaige, what are you saying?" Xiao Xie blinked his sly eyes and said, "I said I want you to drink with me more... Does that mean it will affect your ability to fight against the Taiqing demoness?"

"..."

Duan Huaige smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected that the little green tea would suddenly make him use up all his ultimate skills. As everyone knows, in a drawn-out battle, the person who uses their skills first is often dragged to their death by the opponent.

Sure enough, the little green tea sighed softly, and tears streamed down her face as she spoke: "So Brother Huaige always thought that being with me would hinder you from doing great things... I'm sorry... it was my fault... I won't bother you anymore."

"Cangling!"

Xiao Xie turned to leave, but Duan Huaige grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her back into his arms, saying, "I didn't mean that... I just..." What a mess! King Qin, look at this! It's all your fault for not letting me make it official! Now that I'm in this situation, I can't even bring up your official girlfriend!

How am I supposed to uphold male virtues?

“Brother Huaige…” Xie Cangling’s eyes were filled with tears as she reached out and covered his lips with her finger: “I don’t want to see you so distressed. Since it’s inconvenient for you to say it, then don’t say it. It’s all my fault that you’re making me so upset.”

"No, it's not your fault." Duan Huaige shook his head firmly and said, "To be honest, Shuangjiang and I... have already accidentally gone in."

Hmm... Shuangjiang only said not to tell Xiao Jiang and Yan Wang, lest she be ridiculed for the rest of her life. Xiao Xie is such a good girl, telling her a little bit of the inside story shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Did you accidentally go in?
Even the usually quick-witted Xiao Xie was taken aback by such a novel term and asked, "Are you drunk?"

It couldn't have been from slipping and falling in, could it?

"More or less," Duan Huaige mumbled. "Anyway, thanks to a series of unexpected coincidences, Shuangjiang and I have already gone in."

Xie Cangling was shocked upon hearing this, alarm bells ringing in her mind. She and Little Jiang the Great Demon King were still trying to create opportunities using the treasures of heaven and earth... but the other party had already taken the first blood?
How can we fight like this? Qin Shuangjiang got the first blood. With the double buff of being the strongest and the title of the main wife, she can kill everyone in the world in no time!

But Xiao Xie quickly realized something was wrong... Since they had already gone inside, why was there still no movement? Was Qin Shuangjiang dead? Or was her best friend Jiang Xiyu logging in from another location and taking over her account?
"So... are Brother Huaige and Sister Shuangjiang... already together?" Xiao Xie asked nervously, "Is it inappropriate for us to be hugging like this now?"

Although she said that, the little green tea girl showed no intention of breaking free from his embrace. Upon hearing this, Duan Huaige sighed again and said:

"It's not quite right, it's not quite right either... In short, we haven't officially defined our relationship yet... Shuangjiang plans to come to my house to meet my parents during the Chinese New Year."

Upon hearing this crucial information, Xie Cangling secretly gasped. She and her best friend Xiao Jiang were planning to proceed with their plans in the secret realm after the New Year, but it turned out that this person was going to decide on the daughter-in-law's position right on New Year's Eve!

No, we must persuade Xiao Jiang in advance to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident!

Xie Cangling remained outwardly calm, but in reality, many preliminary plans had already flashed through her mind, finally settling on a particular point…

Although the plan was finalized, Xie Cangling felt that to ensure its success, the current situation needed to be managed further...

"So that's how it is. Then Brother Huaige must also like Sister Shuangjiang, right?" Xie Cangling pretended to be relieved and said, "Since it's Sister Shuangjiang, then there's nothing more to say. A woman as outstanding as her, I would also fall for her."

"It's just a pity... Cangling will never be able to compare to her."

"Cangling, don't say that. Actually... I've always had you in my heart."

Hearing this, Duan Huaige felt even more guilty, and a phrase typical of scumbags slipped out of his mouth. After all, no matter what, Xiao Xie was his future ex-girlfriend, on par with Qin Shuangjiang. And in the future, she would even become a top-tier green tea bitch because of him…

Hmm? Wait a minute... We know that Xiao Xie turns into a tea-like person after drinking alcohol, so is it possible that the future Xiao Xie didn't actually change her personality because of a breakup, but rather that she drank alcohol to numb herself after the breakup, so her green tea persona remained?
