Mei Terumi looked at the man on the bed, at his lazy yet innocent expression, and felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger.

Does he look like a bad guy?

You don't just resemble me, you *are* me!

What kind of normal person would comment on someone's hairstyle as soon as they meet them, and then physically assault them and pin them down on the bed?

An eerie standoff ensued in the room.

One person was lying comfortably in bed, as if they were at home.

One of them stood in the corner, fully alert, as if he was about to fight to the death at any moment.

Seeing her cat-like, flustered state, Qianxuan kindly patted the empty seat next to him.

"Standing is tiring, sit down and let's talk."

Mei Terumi didn't move, but stared intently at him with her emerald green eyes.

"Rest assured, we agreed beforehand that the deal is done."

Qianxuan yawned, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

"I've always been a person who values ​​contracts."

Mei Terumi hesitated for a moment, but finally moved her feet.

She walked to the bedside, and then carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, which was furthest from Qianxuan and almost fell off.

His whole body was taut, like a fully drawn bowstring.

Qianxuan found it amusing to look at her like this.

"So, miss, what are your plans next?"

He shifted to a more comfortable position, lying on his side with one hand supporting his head.

"Are you planning to stay here all night, or go back and get some beauty sleep, and come back tomorrow to discuss your hairstyle and outfit?"

The words "Miss" were like a needle, precisely hitting a certain trigger point for Mei Terumi.

"Don't call me 'Miss'!"

She turned her head abruptly, her voice rising eight octaves with shame and indignation, her beautiful eyes practically spitting fire.

"I'm only fourteen!"

"Oh, fourteen years old, that's quite young... um?"

Qianxuan subconsciously replied, but then froze halfway through his sentence.

His expression shifted from lazy mockery to bewilderment, then to blankness, and finally settled into a look of utter shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

He suddenly sat up in bed, his half-closed eyes widening as he scrutinized the girl in front of him from head to toe.

Those well-defined, even magnificent, mature curves.

The allure she exuded in her every gesture was enough to make most men lose their composure.

Those emerald green eyes held a penetrating wisdom that revealed the depths of human nature, as well as the sharp edge befitting a Jonin.

This……

Is he really fourteen?!

You call that fourteen years old?!

Qianxuan felt that his worldview had been subjected to an unprecedented and violent shock at this moment.

He thought of the real fourteen-year-old girls in Konoha Village.

For example, Lin is very cute, but her figure... well, I can only say it has potential for the future.

For example, Hong is also very beautiful, but in terms of temperament, she is still a naive young girl.

But the one in front of me...

This is so well-developed!

That's almost unfair!

"you……"

Qianxuan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his voice sounding somewhat hoarse.

"You said you... are fourteen?"

"That's right!"

Mei Terumi puffed out her chest, trying to increase the credibility and momentum of her words in this way.

Qianxuan's gaze, uncontrollably following her movements, shifted slightly downwards.

Gudong.

He heard himself swallow.

My apologies, my apologies.

Tsunade, you have to believe me. I'm just conducting a purely objective and academic observation.

"Oops……"

Qianxuan clutched his chest, a pained expression on his face.

Mei Terumi was taken aback by his sudden action.

What trick is this guy up to now?

"It's the feeling of being smitten..."

Qianxuan looked at her with a sorrowful expression, his eyes filled with struggle.

"Miss, you've successfully stolen my heart."

Mei Terumi: "..."

She felt her fist harden.

Qianxuan ignored her murderous gaze and was engrossed in his internal struggle.

We're doomed, we're doomed.

She was clearly a staunch and unwavering supporter of Tsunade.

But now, he's actually... fallen for a fourteen-year-old girl?

Although she doesn't look fourteen at all, that doesn't matter!

The essence is what matters!

Am I turning into a beast?

No, that's not right.

Given my current age, liking a fourteen-year-old girl seems... quite normal, doesn't it?

The problem is, my soul is that of an adult!

Countless thoughts flashed through Qianxuan's mind in an instant, and finally, he came to a conclusion.

This world is too dangerous.

Not only are the enemies dangerous, but the beautiful girl is even more dangerous.

Just as a dramatic ethical struggle was unfolding in Chihiro's inner world, Terumi Mei had forced herself to calm down.

She discovered that she could never gain the upper hand in an argument with this man.

We must regain control of the situation.

I'll ask you one more time.

Mei Terumi's voice regained the coldness and rationality befitting a ninja.

"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming to Kirigakure?"

Qian Xuan had just snapped out of his philosophical contemplation on "Am I a beast?" when he heard this series of soul-searching questions, leaving him completely bewildered.

answer?

How should I answer?

Claiming to be a spy sent by Konoha to cause sabotage?

He claimed that the Scorching Release technique he possessed was "borrowed" from Pakura, a hero from Sunagakure.

He said he came to Kirigakure mainly to replicate your village's bloodline limit and farm some EP points along the way?

He dared not say it.

I told you, today it's not just about being pinned to the bed; I'll probably be turned into a specimen and sent to the lab in Kirigakure.

"No comment."

Qianxuan decisively chose to cheat.

"What's with the scorching energy emanating from you?"

Mei Terumi's gaze sharpened.

"As far as I know, this is a bloodline limit unique to Pakura, a hero of Sunagakure. What is your relationship with her?"

"Well... that's a long story."

Qianxuan scratched his head and began to talk nonsense with a straight face.

"Perhaps my ancestors had some kind of ambiguous distant kinship with their family. You know, with bloodlines, sometimes there can be atavism."

Mei Terumi's lips twitched slightly.

Atavism?

Do you think I'm a three-year-old?

"How did you find me in the tavern?"

She changed the question.

"I...I was just looking at pretty girls!"

Qianxuan didn't quite understand what she meant and looked at her with an expression of pity for someone with intellectual disabilities.

Mei Terumi felt her temples throbbing.

She took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm and not let this guy lead her astray.

"One last question."

She stared intently into Qian Xuan's eyes and asked, word by word,

"Why did you infiltrate the Minazuki clan's territory and knock out seven of their genin?"

Qianxuan's smile froze.

Is my [Presence Concealment] skill just for show?

Hey Hey hey!

System, are you kidding me?
