Villain: Fairy, please offer your loyalty

"Once I win over Su Qianqian and have the Su family's enormous financial backing, why would I need to put up with this kind of humiliation?"

"When the time comes, I'll bury that brat in top-grade spirit stones! I'll show him what the true wrath of a divine healer is all about!"

Lin Feng dreamed of a bright future, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

Saintly Academy, Villa No. 1.

This place was originally a top-tier mansion reserved for members of the royal family. Even the cobblestone path leading to the gate was paved with low-grade spirit stones.

Now, this place has naturally become Gu Fan's temporary palace.

On the spacious terrace, Gu Fan was comfortably basking in the sun on a lounge chair made of millennia-old warm jade.

Behind him, Jiang Qingge was carefully massaging his shoulders with just the right amount of pressure; in front of him, Xiao Ling'er was kneeling on the ground massaging his legs, as obedient as a kitten.

"Young master, Miss Su Qianqian of the Su family requests an audience."

A Golden Immortal guard appeared silently in the shadows and respectfully reported.

"Su Qianqian? Who's that?"

Gu Fan lazily rolled over.

"Reporting to Young Master, she is the daughter of the Su family, the number one family in Zhongzhou, and also the number one beauty of the Holy Path Academy. It is said... she is also one of Lin Feng's fiancées."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan opened his eyes, which had been half-closed.

"His fiancée delivered right to his door? This Lin Feng's got some skills. This is probably what they call... door-to-door delivery, super-fast SF Express?"

"Interesting. Let her in."

After a while.

A graceful figure stepped lightly onto the terrace.

She was a girl wearing a light purple school uniform dress, with exquisitely beautiful features, like the heroine from the game Sword Star in my past life.

Especially her big, watery peach blossom eyes, which always look at people with a hint of a smile and a hint of innocence, exuding a pure and alluring charm.

But what's most eye-catching is that she's holding something in her hand...

A small abacus made of pure gold?

"This humble servant, Su Qianqian, greets Your Excellency, the School Board Chairman."

Unlike the others who knelt down tremblingly, the girl gave a graceful bow, her voice clear and melodious, neither humble nor arrogant.

No need for formalities.

Gu Fan sized up this so-called school beauty, and at that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind:

[Ding! Important plot character detected!]

Name: Su Qianqian

[Identity: Eldest daughter of the Su family, business prodigy, Lin Feng's fiancée (never met)]

[Personality: Cunning, extremely rational, greedy for money, and good at managing finances]

[Appearance Rating: 96 (Excellent)]

[Current objective: To annul the engagement (Lin Feng), and incidentally, to curry favor with the host (Host)]

[Number of charging cycles: 0]

"Greedy for money?"

Gu Fan was amused.

This personality is a perfect match for me!

"Did Miss Su need something from me?"

Gu Fan asked the question knowingly, and picked up his teacup to take a sip.

"Since the school board member is so straightforward, I'll just say it directly."

Su Qianqian smiled slightly and actually raised the golden abacus in her hand.

"I heard that you not only spent ten dragon veins to buy the academy, but also arranged for that poor new student... Lin Feng, to be placed next to the girls' restroom?"

"What? You're here to stand up for him?"

Gu Fan raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"No, no, no, sir, you've misunderstood."

Su Qianqian waved her hands repeatedly, a sly smile appearing on her face:

"To be honest, my deceased grandfather was blind and arranged a marriage for me when I was a child. The groom happened to be named Lin Feng."

"I was worried about how to get rid of this hopeless marriage. After all, our Su family is in business and we believe in strong alliances, not targeted poverty alleviation."

"But seeing the adults' methods today, I feel... this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Oh? What opportunity?" Gu Fan became interested and put down his teacup.

"I want to discuss a business deal with an adult."

Su Qianqian stepped forward, her eyes sparkling:

"I'll help you ruin Lin Feng's reputation and kick him out of the academy. In exchange, please support the Su family to become the most powerful force in Zhongzhou."

At this point, Su Qianqian's captivating peach blossom eyes became watery.

"And... please help me cancel this engagement. Of course, if you need a personal maid who can do the accounting and warm the bed, I, Qianqian, though not very talented, am willing to bring the entire Su family fortune as dowry... I'll even pay you extra."

puff!

Gu Fan, who was drinking tea, almost spat out his water.

This girl's got something!

She's even more direct than Nalan Yanran, and even more shameless than Jiang Qingge!

Is this what you call having a broad perspective?

"Bringing her own dowry and paying extra?"

Gu Fan wiped his mouth with a tissue, looking at her with a half-smile:

"Miss Su, I've heard your scheme all over the Upper Realm. You want to use my influence to swallow up the Central Plains market and get rid of a burden at the same time? You're quite the smooth operator at getting something for nothing."

"It's mutually beneficial."

Su Qianqian stopped pretending, blinked, and readily admitted:

"Sir, look at me, I'm not bad-looking either, I'm the school beauty, it would be a real status symbol to take me out. And..."

She lowered her voice and chuckled mischievously:

"If Lin Feng knew that his fiancée not only broke off the engagement but also gave herself to his enemy... his expression would be priceless, wouldn't it? Isn't that the greatest pleasure for adults?"

"Hahaha! Great! What a mutually beneficial arrangement!"

Gu Fan laughed loudly, stood up and walked directly to Su Qianqian.

He reached out and forcefully lifted her delicate chin, instantly closing the distance between them.

"I love women like you—smart, greedy, and utterly wicked. This deal is mine!"

"but……"

Gu Fan abruptly changed the subject, his eyes becoming deep and alluring:

"If you're going to put on an act, then go all the way. Just breaking off the engagement is pointless."

"Tomorrow is the college's welcome party. I need you to announce something in front of the entire school, especially Lin Feng."

"What is it?"

Su Qianqian did not back down at all; instead, her eyes lit up.

"Announce the only person you like."

Gu Fan leaned close to her ear:

"And he... was just a toad lusting after a swan."

"no problem!"

Su Qianqian agreed readily, and even went so far as to take Gu Fan's arm and press her soft body against him:

"My lord... to make tomorrow's performance more realistic, shouldn't we rehearse the late-night interactions of an 'engaged couple' beforehand?"

Gu Fan: "..."

Good guy.

Has it met its match?

Why does this girl seem more like a villain than me?

……

Lin Feng, who was squatting in the drafty storage room eating a dry steamed bun, was unaware that his beloved fiancée, his "golden thigh," had completely sold him out for business, and they had even agreed on a price.

"Achoo!"

Lin Feng sneezed loudly, rubbed his nose, and a sweet, silly smile appeared on his face:

"Who's thinking about me? It must be Qianqian! Hehe, she must know I'm suffering through some kind of telepathy."

"I'm definitely going to find her at the welcome party tomorrow, show her our marriage certificate, and give her a big surprise!"
