Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 477 Extra: The Incompetent Childhood Friend
As pastry chef Duan Huaige successfully completed a cream puff, his assistant Jiang Xiyu rubbed her sore wrists, ending another round of her enthusiastic help.

A faint... scent filled the air. Yan Qiuxi lay lazily on the bed, too lazy to even move a finger.

"You've worked hard, little Jiang... Here, today's tickets are in my bag, go get them yourself~"

The saddest thing in the world is when your beloved childhood friend is carving something out, but the object of that carving isn't you.

Today was supposed to be her day to be slain, but instead of being involved, she became a little assistant. Seeing this, Little Jiang the Great Demon King felt his heart was breaking.

She glared fiercely at Yan Qiuxi in front of her, feeling that this guy was extremely hateful—originally, according to the agreement, the four of them would take turns grading the homework submitted by Duan Huaige, and see who had the best chance of getting pregnant would be the rightful empress.

This plan was originally proposed by Little Jiang the Great Demon King. It was designed perfectly, with the premise that life and death are predestined and wealth and honor are determined by fate. The main idea was to see who had the best fertility and who was the most compatible with Duan Huaige. However, in practice, Yan Qiuxi, who defied the heavens, found a loophole.

She successfully quantified everyone's homework collection dates, and then began to make deals with Little Jiang the Great Demon King and Xiao Xie who hadn't been drinking. By exploiting Little Jiang the Great Demon King's desire to become the main wife as soon as possible, she intentionally or unintentionally lent her more homework collection opportunities:
"Little Jiang, I still have high hopes for you... Look, we're together again this week... I heard that the probability of reaping a harvest is higher when you sow consecutively?"

"I don't have much of a chance left, so how about I give this opportunity to you?"

"Hey~ We're family, no need for formalities! We're all sisters! Just take it and use it!"

"Oh? You want to keep grinding tomorrow... Hmm... That's a bit difficult. Look at me now, not only do you want to borrow, but Little Xie also wants to try her luck... What, you're saying you're almost at a dangerous stage, borrow for one day and pay back in two days?"

"Little Xie borrows it for one day and returns it for three days..."

Not only with them, the clever Qiuqiu also took advantage of Duan Huaige's desire for rest, this diligent pioneer, and offered to rest in exchange for his chance to "infuse" her with silver at the party, and then sold that chance to Xiao Jiang...

In this way, capitalist Yan Qiuxi gradually completed his initial capital accumulation and successfully controlled Duan Huaige's work schedule. By the time Qin Shuangjiang realized something was wrong, it was too late. In the end, Xiao Jiang went bankrupt and had to help pay off debts in order to barely be able to eat a bite of meat occasionally.

Why! Why did I end up like this! Heaven is unjust!
Overwhelmed with grief and anger, Little Jiang, recalling the most hateful things in his life, couldn't help but return to his room and beat up the doll with Yan Qiuxi's name on it.

This punch is to teach you your despicable and shameless ways!
This punch will teach you a lesson for your cold-blooded and heartless nature!

As Xiao Jiang played, she got tired and drifted off to sleep. Before she fell asleep, a thought flashed through her mind.

If only I had opened the second loop back then! With my innate advantage of the Childhood Sweetheart Body, plus the second loop, I wouldn't believe it if I didn't utterly crush Yan Qiuxi and those tea girls!

Damn Qin Shuangjiang, damn Yan Qiuxi! I hate you both!

……

Upon waking, Little Jiang the Great Demon King found himself lying in his old, cozy bed. Duan Huaige's languid voice drifted in from outside the window:

"Jiang Xiyu, if you don't get up now, I'm leaving! If you want to take a car, get off right now!"

Little Jiang the Great Demon King stared blankly at his eighteen-year-old hands, then ran to the mirror to look at his youthful face, and pinched them in disbelief…

Ouch...it hurts...

I've been reborn! Reborn before the spiritual energy revival! In my previous life, due to a momentary lapse in judgment, I was brutally beaten by Qin Shuangjiang, humiliated by Yan Qiuxi, and betrayed by my best friend, forced to watch her transform into Miss Puff... They bullied me, mocked me, and laughed at me! In this life, I will make them know just how desperate they can be when the top-tier mechanics of my childhood friend are combined with the unbeatable stats of rebirth!

Waiting for the spa! Yan Qiuxi... Hmm? No, I've already been reborn, why would I let Xiao Duan provoke Yan Qiuxi and Qin Shuangjiang?

Of course, it's about keeping her hidden away! Little Duan, you'll just stay obediently in my gentle embrace and let me raise you into a little good-for-nothing!
……

Part 3: The Incompetent Childhood Friend's Diary

November 23st

On the first day of my rebirth, I decisively confessed my feelings to Duan Huaige. As a result, this hateful guy actually reached out and touched my head, asking if I had a fever.

You clueless fellow, am I running a fever? Yes, I am (crossed out). Anyway, my advantage is still there! The advantage is mine!
You took my confession today as a joke, so I'll confess every single day from now on! Let's see how you hide from me then!
November 24st

My plan to confess by holding hands failed. I used to pretend to be a couple and snag couple's meals at restaurants all the time, but now the boomerang has come back to bite me! Damn it! Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll just go for it! I'll give you a kiss and see what you have to say then!
November 25st

My attempt to confess my feelings through a kiss failed, and then my teacher saw me forcibly kissing Duan Huaige, so they called my parents.

My parents patted me on the shoulder, saying it was a good thing I'd finally figured things out, but I also needed to be mindful of my approach... and besides, I'm a senior in high school now. Thankfully, Uncle Duan and Aunt Yun firmly stood by me, saying the teacher must have misread it! If anyone was going to force a kiss, it would be Xiao Duan who did.

As expected of my chosen future mother-in-law, she's already on my side! Very good, Aunt Yun, this time, I won't let you have the trouble of choosing between four daughters-in-law! I've even taken care of the risk that Xiao Duan might be taken away by the FBI!

November 18st

While sitting in the back seat, I deliberately unbuttoned my shirt and used my assets to rub against him, which caused him to tip the car over... Oh dear, is this Xiao Chunan in his true form? Hmph, he really can't resist my temptation, can he?
This coming summer I will prove who is the world's number one green plum!

November 24st

I went to the water park with Xiao Duan. It's the coolest place in the world, on the lazy river platform.

November 26st

I went to the beach with Xiao Duan; someone was having a wedding there.

November 25st

I went to Hong Kong Disneyland with Xiao Duan. The haunted house was boring, but in order to create some ambiguity, I pretended to sprain my ankle and made him carry me the whole way.

Xiao Duan is the best.

November 14st

I had a feeling that I was affected by some kind of debuff before, but fortunately I adjusted my strategy in time. The fact that I was having so much fun with Xiao Duan before was just a facade. My real purpose was to numb his mind and finally achieve the effect of defeating him in one blow!

Yes, that's right, it's not that I forgot to confess because I was having too much fun~
November 29st

Xiao Duan called me downstairs in the apartment complex, and after a long, hesitant explanation, he finally said, "If you really want to talk, then wait until after the college entrance exam to have a proper discussion. If you talk now, neither of our parents will agree." Ha, what a joke! The college entrance exam! The spiritual energy revival is almost here, and you're still thinking about the college entrance exam?

Huh? Wait a minute... Right, the spiritual energy revival is about to begin, how could I have forgotten to cultivate... Damn it, I was so focused on winning my husband back that I forgot that strength is the foundation of everything.

Beauty is only meant for the strong. If Qin Shuangjiang comes again in this life to suppress others with her power, then don't blame my Red Lotus Body Tempering for showing no mercy!
November 9st

I promised Xiao Duan that we would officially start dating after the college entrance exam, but on the condition that I first acknowledged to others that I was his girlfriend. Although Xiao Duan didn't understand why I was so insistent, he still agreed.

Strangely, the students in the class didn't seem surprised at all by the news; they just said "oh" and continued doing their practice problems.

Hmph, my plan is not that simple. This scheme is mainly to guard against Cang Ling, who will be transferring here soon!

I was too foolish before, which allowed you to take advantage of the loophole. This time I've plugged the loophole, let's see what you can do now!
November 9st

News of the spiritual energy revival has spread, and just like in the previous playthrough, Cang Ling has transferred over. That little green tea b*tch's gaze towards my boyfriend was off from the very beginning, and the annoying thing is that I didn't notice it before...

Xiao Duan is my boyfriend now. If you still want to get involved, you'll have to go from being a green tea to a yellow tea!

November 30st

I managed to seduce Xiao Duan, who was originally going to the secret realm, and my JK pleated skirt was definitely worth buying!
Excellent, everything is going as I predicted. Yan Qiuxi's chances of appearing are now sealed off. As long as I don't go to Yanjing, I won't encounter Qin Shuangjiang... and as long as I don't go to Longhu Mountain, I won't encounter Zhang Zhiyao...

This final victory is ultimately mine!
September 7, 17th year of the Resurrection Era

Today is my thirty-fourth birthday. Although those who cultivate themselves don't have much of a concept of age, they still have to celebrate their birthdays.

After getting together with Xiao Duan, I worked hard with him and successfully entered the Spirit University. With the advantage of the Red Lotus Body Tempering Technique, I successfully joined the Kunlun Vanguard Exploration Department with excellent grades, earning an annual salary of 18 spirit stones.

Xiao Duan married me after graduation. The wedding was grand, and I was very happy. After the wedding, I persuaded Xiao Duan to stay at home to take care of the family, and he agreed. We also raised a cat. Although we really wanted to have children, we couldn't afford to buy one because the school district housing for Lingqi School is too expensive now.

It's clear that Xiao Duan is a little disappointed, but it's okay. As long as I work hard, life will definitely get sweeter and sweeter!
September 7, 18th year of the Resurrection Era

It's been a long time since I wrote in my diary. The work pressure in the exploration department is immense, and on top of that, I haven't had time to train in the secret realms because of my family. My Crimson Lotus Body Tempering Technique has reached a bottleneck, and to break through, I'd need to buy very expensive rare and precious materials...

In addition, I recently encountered a layoff crisis... The head of the exploration department intentionally or unintentionally hinted that I had fallen behind and might be on the next round of optimization list... Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that we weren't allowed to refine the Human Emperor Banner here, how could I have ended up in this situation!

Xiao Duan seems to have noticed I've been looking a bit down lately... I don't want him to worry... I'm sorry, Xiao Duan, let's just skip it today...

September 31, 18th year of the Resurrection Era

A promising young minister joined the Exploration Department, and to my surprise, it turned out to be Xie Cangling. Fortunately, because of our acquaintance, Cangling helped me keep my job. To thank her for her help, I decided to invite her to my home for a meal.

September 11, 18th year of the Resurrection Era

Last night, I drank and chatted with Cangling, reminiscing about the good old days at school. It had been a long time since I had such a good time drinking. When I woke up, Cangling had already left. She told me to get some rest and that she could give me a day off today.

I'm so touched, Cangling, you really are my best friend... A true friend is hard to find in life! The only strange thing is that the legs of our dining table have suddenly become a bit loose... Looks like it's time to get a sturdier one...

September 11, 18th year of the Resurrection Era

I've recently gained the favor of the Exploration Department and have been repeatedly dispatched to explore the Kunlun Ruins, where I've made great contributions! I can't wait to go home and share this good news with Xiao Duan; he'll definitely be happy for me when he finds out!

Oh, and I should buy another bouquet of flowers!

Holding the flowers, Jiang Xiyu hurried towards her familiar home, but as she approached the door, she faintly heard some sounds…

"Brother Huaige... between me and Sister Xiyu, who's more..."

"Hmm? Why aren't you answering? Brother Huaige, you don't want Sister Xiyu to lose this because of you..."

Duan Huaige gritted her teeth, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "No, no, this is the only thing I can't do... It's you who's better!"

Little Jiang the Great Demon King was struck dumb, his hands trembling as he tried to open the door, but he remained suspended in mid-air and fell limply down.

So that's how it is...

What do you mean by being valued, what do you mean by keeping my job? It turns out that the peaceful life I thought I had was all because Xiao Duan was carrying the burden for me...

No wonder...no wonder he's been saying he's tired lately...it turns out it's not because he's tired, but because he's weak...

Tears blurred Little Jiang's vision. If she were holding the Human Emperor's Banner, she could have turned evil on the spot in a fit of rage, but now... she could do nothing.

If he can bring me happiness in my place... then it doesn't matter if it's Cang Ling.

Cangling, thank you for loving him for me...

Saying "I love you" isn't enough to keep you, is it, Duan... Yabali... I'm not worthy of being a wife, not even worthy of being a woman...

Little Jiang, the Great Demon King, slowly slid down against the corner of the wall, tears welling up as the Cang Ling within him spilled... onto his white legs...

Um? ? ? ?

I sat up in shock while dying, wondering where my soul banner was.
Turning evil—this is the one who managed to resist turning evil!

Little Jiang the Great Demon King suddenly woke up, looked at everything familiar around him, and quickly exhaled a few breaths of stale air.

Thank goodness, it was all just a dream. I'm not some incompetent childhood friend; I wasn't bullied!
She secretly rejoiced at how wonderful everything was before her eyes, and how foolish she had actually thought about starting a second playthrough!

Thinking of this, Little Jiang the Demon King perked up again. After a good night's rest, Duan must have a lot of homework to hand in! Early morning is when the body's yang energy is at its peak!
Let me think, whose turn is it today... Oh, it seems to be Yan Qiuxi's turn again?
It's decided, I'll borrow Yan Qiuxi for one more day! Just one day, this time, I'm going to succeed on the first try! I'll show those tea girls who look down on me what it means to be the chosen one!
