Chapter One

  What great weather in the midst of summer!

  The blue sky is transparent and clear, the clouds are in big white pieces, and it's even more fortunate that there is wind! So cool and refreshing!!!

  Mingyue took a deep breath, feeling that she was truly lucky. On the first day of school in her new town, she encountered such good weather, it seemed that she would live happily in this new place.

  She happily walked towards her new school - Rende Academy.

  Here is the translation:

  I've arrived! Wow, just looking at the school gate is so beautiful and majestic! The huge marble pillars rise straight into the sky, the golden characters shine brightly, and the square in front of the gate is grand and magnificent! She stuck out her tongue, in this small island country of Japan, Rende Academy can actually be so luxurious, it's no wonder that her mother had to go to great lengths to send her from Taiwan to study here. Although she really misses her old classmates and environment, Ming Xiaoxi is invincible, and she will also do well here!

  She confidently puffed out her chest and swung her arms to take a new step forward - Rende College.

  Suddenly, her nerves were on high alert, what was it?

  ...on the street she just walked through...

  She retreated like a cat, looking around with her head raised.

  Several burly men in suits surrounded a slender young man.

  They're saying something, the atmosphere is eerie.

  Ming Xiao wrinkled her nose, no, there was a smell of gunpowder. Those big men were wearing suits, but one look at their faces and it was clear they were gangsters, in this regard, Taiwan's underworld and Japan's underworld looked quite similar. She had long heard that Japan's underworld was very rampant, she didn't expect to run into them on the first day.

  "1, 2, 3, 4..." She nodded her head, "A total of 4 rascals, humph, not afraid..."

  The girl was born with a strong sense of justice, growing up in Taiwan's most famous "Changsheng Wuguan", personally trained by her father and master "Taiwan's First Martial Artist" Ming Changhe. With her naturally unique bone structure, she had never lost a fight to thugs since childhood. Seeing injustice and drawing her sword to help was her motto.

  At this moment, those big men surrounded the young man even more tightly...

  Want to take action? Her body hair was all standing up, ah, she hadn't fought in a long time, her bones were itching. (Because the thugs and hooligans in her usual haunts knew her and had been "educated" by her in a very tragic way, they only dared to hide when they saw her, where would they dare to come out and seek death?)

  Before the four big men's hands touched the young man's body, a loud shout was heard:

  "Stop!"

  What a loud voice!

  Their heads buzzed for a moment...

  Suddenly, a small and delicate girl jumped out of nowhere, her fists clenched, eyes wide with anger, her movements and expressions exaggerated like a cartoon character from a comic book. She shouted: "Hey, you bunch of losers! How dare you bully good students in broad daylight? Just watch me take care of you!"

  The big men and young boys all stared at her with some strange looks in their eyes.

  A big Han walked towards her, stretched out his hand, and before he could react, Ming Yu Xi grabbed his arm and with a swift motion, she threw him to the ground.

  "Ah!" The big man was in so much pain that his teeth were clenched and his mouth was twisted, cold sweat dripping down.

  "Hmph! See if you dare to come out and cause trouble again!"

  The remaining three big men's faces changed drastically, their eyes revealing a fierce light as they stared at her!

  As a fierce battle was imminent, every cell in her body began to get excited.

  At this time, the "bullied" boy who was ignored suddenly let out a low voice:

  "Go back."

  The big men had a look of discontent, but looking at the young man again, they didn't dare say anything. They helped up the big man who had just fallen to the ground and walked listlessly into a nearby car. The car emitted a burst of blue smoke, and they... actually left...

  Mingyue Creek's jaw is about to drop to the ground, what kind of situation is this?!

  Turning back once more, heavens! The young man who was "rescued" by himself was also gradually disappearing.

  Is there no justice! She angrily chased after the young man, and as she got closer to him, she realized that he was actually so tall, over 180cm. She stretched out her hand with great effort just to grab his shoulder: "Ungrateful person, don't you even have a word of thanks for your benefactor?"

  The boy stopped and turned around.

  Good heavens! Such a handsome young man, with features as delicate as a painting.

  "This person should be in heaven, how can he appear in the mortal world a few times?"

  However, the boy's eyes were too cold, like a chill, freezing her whole body.

  He gave her a cold glance and then swatted her hand away like a fly, leaving her with a sentence:

  "Clucking hen."

  Ming Xiao Xi's mouth opened even wider than before: "Ah, ah, you..."

  The young man didn't even glance at her and strode away.

  She was so angry that she stood there and scolded the boy 99 times, until the melodious bell of Rende Academy rang out.

  "Oh no! I'm late!"

  She rushed towards the slowly closing college gate, fighting for her last chance.

  This is Ming Xiao Xi's first day at Rende College.

  Although Ming Xiaoxi was late on her first day of reporting to the new school, she made a deep impression on her classmates in Class 2C. Fortunately, Ming Xiaoxi's affinity is unmatched, and it didn't take long for her to get along with her classmates. Even on the 15th day after joining Class 2C, she was elected as the class monitor by everyone, so the Rende Academy school newspaper awarded her the "Most Kind-Hearted Student Award" of the month without hesitation.

  In just one month, Ming Xiaoxi had used her newly established information network to thoroughly understand the situation inside and outside of Rende Academy.

  Nintoku Academy is the most expensive school in all of Japan, and every student here is either rich or noble. Almost all of the children of large conglomerates and famous people have come, are coming, or will be coming to study here. The future of Japan, the hope of Japan, and the wealth of Japan are all gathered here. For someone like Akira Mimasaka, a relative of a small company owner, to be able to stand out and make a name for himself here is already a huge exception in Nintoku's long history.

  The current Rinden Academy is even more famous, because... because... (Koizumi's eyes sparkled with excitement as he spoke, his cheeks flushed and his mouth watering) ...because the richest, most powerful, most charming, and most irresistible "Three Lords of Japan"... no, should be the universe are currently attending this school... (Note: The next 108,000 characters have been deleted, all of which were Koizumi's endless praise and adoration for the "Three Lords of Japan".)

  Min Xiao Xi filtered out what Xia Quan said and added introductions from other classmates. The basic situation of the "Three Japanese Princes" is as follows:

  Kazami Fūin - 8 years old, height 82m, third grade class A, is the only direct descendant of the Kazami family, which has the greatest influence in Japan's political circles. He excels at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his demeanor is elegant.

  Tōji Hiroo - 8 years old, height 8m, third grade class A, is the eldest grandson of the Tōji family, Japan's largest business conglomerate. He has a fiery personality but looks incredibly cool.

  Makino Ryuhyou - 8 years old, height 8m, third grade class A, is the successor of Japan's largest black society "Makino-gumi", with a cold personality, known as Japan's number one beautiful boy.

  These three "peerless and unmatched" beautiful young men are the dream lovers of all Japanese girls, and the female students at Nitten Academy can get close to them, who knows how many adolescent girls are envious and jealous to death.

  The above is the initial impression of Ming Xiao Xi, but she seems to have underestimated the charm of the three.

  On this day, it was the turn of Ming Xiao Xi and Sai Kawahara from Class 2-3 to clean the classroom.

  Ming Xiao Xi was effortlessly carrying a large trash bag with her small fingers, looking strangely at the panting and sweating Deng Xia: "I remember I chose a light one for you to carry earlier, how can it be so heavy? Did I pick up the wrong one?"

  Hosokawa smiled apologetically and said, "It's just that I'm too useless."

  Ming Xiao Xi shook her head: "You should exercise properly, otherwise how can your body be good? However..." She took over the trash bag from Hosokawa with her other hand, "Let's forget it for today, I'll help you carry it."

  "Xiaoxi, you're really great, no wonder everyone likes you."

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled: "Don't say that, in the future I may not always be able to help you, it's still better to do things within your own abilities."

  "Yes." replied Hosokawa with a smile.

  "Excuse me! Excuse me!"

  Suddenly a large group of girls rushed past behind me, rushing forward like crazy.

  "Excuse me! Excuse me!!"

  More and more girls rushed past them, excitedly screaming and rushing in the same direction.

  Ming Xiao Xi quickly grabbed one of the girls, who turned around anxiously, and to her surprise, it was Xiaquan!

  "What's going on?" Ming Xiaoxi asked directly.

  "Ah!... That... Third Master..."

  "Has Japan's Three Treasures appeared?" Ming Xiaoxi calmly replied.

  Quan stared at her in surprise: "I haven't even finished speaking, how did you know!"

  Ming Xiao Xi thought to herself, the girl was like a fly buzzing around him, and when she shrieked "Third Master", it was obvious who had arrived.

  "Ah! Third Master!"

  A sharp cry like a devil's howl pierced the air, and although Sugiyama was slow to react, he didn't hesitate for long. He grabbed Akira's hand and rushed in the direction everyone else was running.

  Ming Xiao Xi carried two large trash bags, one on each side, being held by Hosokawa and Koizumi as they ran forward, thinking to themselves that if they were timed in a 100-meter dash right now, their results would definitely be excellent.

  What a magnificent view!

  Inside three layers, outside three layers, the land was surrounded and water couldn't pass through. In Taiwan, even if an F4 typhoon came, it wouldn't cause as much commotion as they did.

  It's really thanks to Koizumi's skills that he managed to pull her and Hosokawa through the crowd, and they actually made it to the very front row. Unfortunately, all she could see was the back of "Japan's Three Princes".

  Quan Tao leaned against Ming Xiao Xi's shoulder: "Xiao Xi, look, three beautiful young men, even their figures are so beautiful..."

  Hosokawa's eyes wandered and landed on another shoulder of Akasaka: "So enchanting..."

  Ming Xiao Xi hastily brushed off the goosebumps all over her body, although she also admitted that the three boys in front of her had straight backs and beautiful figures, but it wasn't that exaggerated, was it?

  The girls surrounding the "Three Japanese Princes" gazed at them in a daze, and some of the bolder girls seemed to have made preparations earlier, mustering up the courage to present them with love letters and gifts.

  "Huh? She suddenly noticed an interesting phenomenon: 'Koizumi, why are all those gifts for one person? Is he especially popular?'"

  Izumi whispered, "Fujiwara no Taka is indeed popular, but it's not that the fans of Toji Hiroo and Makino Ryuhyou are few in number... Good heavens! ...a daredevil has appeared!"

  Akira heard a synchronized intake of breath around her, and the long fingernails of Kohaku and Hosokawa dug tightly into her arm, causing her to gasp as well.

  A sweet-looking girl, holding a cute strawberry shortcake in both hands, walked up to the boy who was said to be called Tōji Hiroo with a blush and whispered: "Tōji-kun, this is..."

  Ming Xiao Xi's ears itched and a small voice whispered, "She will become the 36th cake face of Rende Academy..."

  She didn't quite understand Koizumi's meaning yet, when Toji Hiroshi explained it to her.

  Bang!!

  He smashed the entire cake mercilessly onto her face, and the once adorable cake now looked ridiculous. A bright red strawberry stuck with white cream stood on the girl's nose tip, quivering. The girl's face was wrapped in a thick layer of cake, convulsing as if she had already reached the verge of collapse.

  "Flower idiot! Get out!" This is a footnote by Tōji Hōnan.

  "Wow..."

  The girl who sent the cake finally started crying.

  Hahaha!……

  Cruel laughter erupted in unison.

  "Alas, poor girl, why did you have to give him the cake? You knew he'd end up with a cake face... Ah... Xiao... Xiao Xi?"

  A small figure jumped out in anger!

  "Oh heavens!"

  A loud thunderclap!

  In just one second, the protagonist of the tragedy became Tōji Hiroo.

  His entire body was covered in dirty and smelly trash, with a disgusting piece of chewing gum stuck to his face. The perpetrator was a girl who looked very pleased with herself, holding an empty trash bag and pointing at Terauchi Hiroo, saying: "How's that, savage? Feeling good?"

  Toji Hiro's eyes were about to pop out in anger as he said word by word: "Who are you?!"

  The girl stood with her hands on her hips and said leisurely: "This young lady's surname remains unchanged, Ming Xiaoxi is me!"

  Ming Xiao Xi proudly raised her chin, pointing at Toji Hiro's nose tip with her finger, and said loudly:

  "You're such a terrible guy, even if you don't want to accept that girl's feelings, there's no need to humiliate her like that! Don't you know that everyone has dignity and personality?! You made her lose face in front of everyone, becoming the laughing stock of others, do you know how much harm it will cause to her heart?! Someone liking you is already a blessing, not even saying thank you is already very rude, yet you still bully others, truly no upbringing! Failure!!"

  "Hmm..."

  Tōji Hiro's loyal fans let out a chorus of protest jeers.

  Ming Xiao Xi was very dissatisfied with this reaction, she looked around at all the girls present:

  "Sisters, in Japan, historically we women have been oppressed and discriminated against by men. Can't the blood-and-tear-stained protests still awaken us? Shouldn't we be wary of men like Toshihiro Nishi who trample on women's dignity? Are we all masochists? Can't we resist?"

  "Hooray......"

  Someone couldn't help but applaud softly, triggering a wave of applause that grew from weak to strong.

  Ming Xiaoxi bowed politely to the audience.

  As she turned around, she saw a familiar face...

  As beautiful as poetry and painting, it doesn't look like a young man's face at all.

  The only pity is that he is somewhat cold as frost.

  Oh, it's him, that ungrateful and threatened youngster from the underworld...

  His name was Makino Ryūhyō.

  Makino's eyes gleamed with a hint of mockery, her beautiful lips moved, and she spat out two words: "Chicken wife."

  Ming Xiao Xi was about to retort when she suddenly met a pair of eyes, accompanied by a smile, very sincere and warm...

  Yes, it's that one called Kazuma Fuuin.

  Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a strange sensation, like a hot current suddenly rushing up and then suddenly subsiding.

  She stiffened all over as Fūin came up to her, his smile shining like sunlight: "You're Akira?"

  At this moment, she understood why so many girls liked him, and it seemed that she was also a little dizzy for him.

  Feng Jian gently stroked her hair and smiled faintly:

  "A very interesting girl..."

  After hearing this sentence, Ming Xiaoxi's soul was almost sucked away, and she smiled foolishly for a whole day.

  The second issue of the Rende Academy school newspaper awarded both the "Most Crazy Award" and the "Most Unexpected Award" to Ming Xiaoxi, a sophomore from Class C.

  The craziest part is that she actually put the trash on Tōji Hōnan, who has the worst temper, in broad daylight with everyone watching. The most unexpected part is that everyone thought she would suffer the worst revenge and backlash, but instead, Tōji Hōnan's side was completely silent, although some of his loyal guards tried to attack Ming Xiaoxi several times to avenge their idol. However, the result was that whether it was one-on-one or a group attack, they were no match for Ming Xiaoxi. Even some participants in the battle secretly revealed that if Ming Xiaoxi hadn't shown mercy, they would not have been able to retreat unscathed.

  Wow! A modern female knight was born in Rende College!

  Ming Xiaoxi's reputation spread like wildfire, her deeds became legendary, and her admirers grew in number. Recently, a Ming Xiaoxi Imperial Guard was even formed. What's more, now whenever she goes out for physical education class, cute little junior schoolgirls stop her: "Sister Ming..."

  Ming Xiao Xi looked at her with confusion: "Is there something wrong?"

  Little sister's bright eyes sparkled: "Ming Jie, I really admire you, can you sign an autograph for me?" She handed over a beautifully designed autograph book.

  Ming Xiao Xi suddenly fainted, no way...

  Quan Yanming quickly grabbed her hand and said with a sly smile, "Big star, sign your name quickly. If someone likes you but you don't know how to thank them, aren't you just like Dong Si's Hao Nan? Besides..." She raised an eyebrow, "Look, she's almost crying."

  As expected, the innocent primary school girl was on the verge of tears, looking pitiful. Ming Xiao Xi hastily scribbled her signature in the autograph book.

  The schoolgirl walked away with the autograph book, contentedly. Ming Xiaoxi still had lingering fears: "Ah, nowadays girls have tears in their eyes, it's really pitiful..."

  Suddenly, Koizumi gave her a hard push, his eyes gleaming with mischief: "There's something even more pitiful, come on!" And with that, he grabbed her and ran downstairs.

  This little spring, even during physical education class sprint test, she didn't see her so fast, from upstairs all the way down, several times almost made her fall. Ming Xiaoxi's head was dizzy and finally able to stand still, before she could scold Little Spring, Little Spring spoke up first: "Quickly look, who are they?!"

  Ming Xiao Xi followed her gaze and saw several dazzling people standing in the square.

  That's right, it was Japan's three princes - Tōji Hironao, Kazama Toru, and Makino Rūko, along with a sweet and lovely girl of around fourteen years old that he had never seen before.

  Ming Xiao Xi let out a sigh of relief: "Xiao Quan, aren't you satisfied with the trouble I've caused you yet?"

  "Your eyes sparkled with excitement: 'You don't know, how many people are looking forward to your second round of recruitment with them, it will definitely be as exciting as a collision between Mars and Earth!'"

  Ming Xiao Xi thought she was crazy and muttered: "Japanese San Gong Zi... it's better to avoid him..." She turned around, wanting to slip away.

  It's often said that things don't go as planned in life. How could Koizumi let the eagerly anticipated good show of her classmates slip away so easily? All she did was make a loud declaration:

  "Ming Xiao Xi meets Japan's third prince!!"

  In an instant, the entire campus fell silent.

  Even the sound of a needle falling from a distance can be heard clearly.

  Ming Xiao Xi stood there awkwardly, not knowing what expression was appropriate. Stinky Little Spring, just you wait and see how I'll deal with you! But now... what to do? ...do what? ...

  The teachers and students of Rende Academy all stuck their heads out, those who had seen the last round with their own eyes, those who had only heard about the last round, were all excited - would it be even more wonderful?!

  According to authoritative records from the Ren Da Academy school newspaper -

  That day, in the silence, it was Feng Jiancheng who let out a charming light cough, breaking the deadlock. Then, he revealed a smile that would make all the girls in the world heartbroken, and gave Ming Xiaoxi a friendly greeting: "Hello, Ming Xiaoxi."

  Ming Xiao Xi finally regained consciousness, suppressed her heartbeat, and respectfully bowed to Feng Jian Cheng: "Feng Jian senior!"

  Kazehaya smiled and responded.

  At this time, a beautiful girl like a new Da6 appeared beside the three Japanese princes, like a rabbit, with an incredible degree of agility, and rushed to her side, grasping her arm tightly, asking in a row: "Are you Ming Yu Xi?! Are you Ming Yu Xi?!"

  Before she could even nod her head properly, the beautiful girl let out a string of excited cries: "You're Akira Minamoto! Oh my god, I've finally met Akira Minamoto!! It was you who severely disciplined Hironobu Toushima?! You're my idol! You're my..."

  Akane Kiyohara didn't have the chance to know what she originally wanted to say, because Terauchi Hiroo rushed up with flames in his eyes, grabbed the beautiful girl and slammed her to the ground!

  "Ah!"

  The crowd in all directions let out a burst of screams.

  But...

  Fortunately, Fūjin's quick reflexes allowed him to rush forward and rescue the beautiful girl, thus avoiding a tragic scene of bloodshed.

  Mingyue Creek almost choked to death with a mouthful of air, and she patted her chest to catch her breath.

  She came to her senses and saw the beautiful girl still in Fūin's arms, with crystal tears falling like a broken string of pearls. She thought back to Terauchi Hiroo's dangerous actions earlier and a surge of anger rose up to her chest: "Terauchi Hiroo! You savage! Only know how to bully women! Shameless!"

  She scolded Terauchi Hiroo on one hand and pointed at his chest with her finger on the other!

  "Watch out!"

  The onlookers warned her, knowing that Tōji Hiroo was a two-dan judo black belt, and this action of hers was no different from seeking death!

  As expected, Tōji Hiromu took advantage of the situation and pinned her arms behind her back.

  "Hooray!"

  "Oh no!"

  The audience supporting Tōji Hiroshi and those sympathizing with Akiyoshi Creek are making two different voices.

  Tōji Hiroo tightly grasped Akane's arm, hissing with a menacing tone: "You stinking woman! You think I don't dare hit you?!"

  He raised his hand, and a slap was ready to be delivered——

  "My goodness!"

  The students and teachers of Tianguo Academy shouted loudly in unison!

  "Stop!"

  Feng Jian Cheng took one step forward and blocked!

  But anyone else's help was already too late at that moment.

  The only one who can help Mingyue Creek is... herself!

  What a joke! Ming Xiaoxi, the martial arts prodigy who grew up in Taiwan's most famous "Changsheng Wuguan", personally trained by "Taiwan's First Man of Martial Arts" Ming Changhe. If she were to be slapped in the face in Japan, would she still have the face to see her ancestors? She might as well go smash into a block of tofu and die!

  According to authoritative Renmin University of China News Agency reports ——

  No one saw how Ming Xiao Xi did it, they only saw that she seemed to have just twisted her body and broke free from Tōji Hiro's control. (Note: It was probably some kind of mysterious Chinese kung fu.) She raised her left hand to grab the hand with which Tōji Hiro was about to slap her, and with her right hand, she was about to slap Tōji Hiro back in retaliation.

  "Bang!!!!!!"

  It was a massive scream from all the girls, and those who didn't faint were scared out of their wits!

  Ming Xiaoxi's hand was about to stop at Tōji Hiro's face, only a millimeter away—

  She slowly put down her hand, gazing at him in a low voice: "This world is not where whoever has money, whoever has power, whoever has strength can bully others. Give you a lesson, be more obedient next time - and...".

  She turned her head and looked at the beautiful girl who was now gaping like she could swallow an egg, saying: "You just bullied her, apologize to her!"

  "Hehe!"

  The beautiful girl looked at the majestic Ming Xiao Xi, then glanced at the caged beast-like Dong Si Hao Nan, and smiled unnaturally: "I... my business is over... He's my brother... I'm Dong Si Hao Xue..."

  "This time it's Ming Xiao Xi's turn, her mouth agape like an egg: 'Wh...what...but—cough!' She awkwardly clears her throat, 'Even if she is your sister, you shouldn't treat her this way, she has her own rights and freedom!'"

  Little Koizumi stumbled, and it's not about studying politics.

  Anyway, Myōki Creek freed himself from the control of Terao Hiroshi and wisely hid on the side of Kazama Chō and Terao Hirosue, far away from Terao Hiroshi who didn't know what he would do.

  "Ding..."

  The bell rang for class.

  The lively audience reluctantly entered the classroom, looking back one step at a time.

  The one who started the trouble - Koizumi, threw a flying kiss to Ming Xiao Xi and hastily ran upstairs to attend class.

  "Hey, I have class."

  Dong Si's hands moved swiftly to grab hers: "Ming sister, I really really like you, can we be friends?"

  Huh? Be friends with her?

  Ming Xiao Xi hesitated and touched her own neck, she still wanted this life of hers.

  Dong Si Hao Xue anxiously waved her hand: "Is it okay, I really want to be friends with you, I...I've been very lonely since childhood...no one plays with me...I..." Her tears fell pitter-patter, and Ming Xiao Xi's eyes were also about to well up.

  "Okay! Okay! I'm willing to be your friend!"

  "Really!" Dong Si's arms waved excitedly as he cheered.

  The rain clears up too quickly, doesn't it? Ming Xiaoxi secretly guards against being deceived.

  "Hey, Ming sister, how about coming over to my place for dinner today? My mom really wants to meet you too! And Kaze no Onii-chan and Makino Onii-chan are also going, it's gonna be so much fun!"

  Huh?!!

  Akane Higashiyama stiffened with a smile, and before she could refuse, Higashiya Hiroo shouted at Higashiya Hiroyuki: "You dare to let her go, I'll skin you alive!"

  "Toji Hiroo, you barbarian!" Seeing Toji Hiro's pale and shrinking face, the blood that had been simmering inside her began to churn again. "Little Snow, I'll escort you home today! Let's see who dares to bully you!"

  "Great!" Dong Si's fear had vanished into thin air as he jumped up excitedly.

  "Welcome," Fūin Kazuki smiled warmly at her, "I'll be waiting for you outside the school gate at 6 o'clock this afternoon."

  Excited Tōji Kōsetsu, gentle Kazuki Fūin, angry Tōji Kōdan, and the coldly indifferent Makino Ryūhyō were all swept into Akane's line of sight.

  She secretly asked herself, didn't I do anything wrong?

  Ming Xiao Xi stared blankly at the luxurious mansion in front of her, her eyes wide with shock and amazement.

  What a big, what a luxurious, what an extravagant mansion! It's simply comparable to the White House in America!

  She had long heard that the Toji family was Japan's first giant rich man, controlling the economic lifeline of all Japan and even all Asia, but she didn't expect their home to be so magnificent. From the gate to the stunning white European-style main house, it took more than 20 minutes by car. Along the way, she saw fountains, artificial hills, sculptures, and gardens. She had visited the Summer Palace in Beijing during her summer vacation before, but it was nothing compared to this.

  Dong Si Hao Xue leaned intimately against her shoulder: "Ming sister, why aren't you saying anything?"

  Ming Xiao Xi followed her into the main hall of the mansion, wow, a replica of the Palace of Versailles!

  Ming Xiao Xi curiously asked: "Xiao Xue, how many people are in your family?"

  "My dad, my mom, my brother, and me, a total of four!"

  "Huh? The four of you live in such a big house?"

  Dong Si Hao Xue awkwardly stuck out his tongue:

  "You also think it's a waste, right? Actually, I don't like the house being so big either. Dad and mom are often not home, my brother has a terrible temper, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. Sometimes I really feel that this place is cold and eerie, and I wonder if it might be haunted?"

  She suddenly let out a terrifying scream here, as if she had seen a headless ghost.

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled and looked at her: "Xiao Xue, you don't have to try to scare me, I'm not afraid of ghosts."

  "No, no, I...I forgot!......Ah!" She let out a shrill cry, as if disaster was really upon her.

  "What's wrong?" Ming Xiaoxi was made very nervous by her.

  Dong Si pulled her into a lavishly decorated leisure hall.

  Tōji Hiroo leaned against the sand with a sullen face, his eyes staring straight out the window as if he was sulking; Makino Fuyu lay sleeping on a long couch, but even in his dreams his eyebrows were furrowed, like an angel of sorrow; Kazama Chikara sat elegantly by the window, flipping through an art book.

  "Ah!!"

  The East Temple is another scream!

  "What the hell is going on?!" Higashi Tera Hiro's low, gloomy voice growled back. Instantly, he appeared in front of Ming Xiao Xi. A blue vein bulged at his temple, he gritted his teeth and stormed out with large strides.

  Feng Jian Cheng raised his head and smiled at them: "You're here. Xiao Xue, what's wrong?"

  Makino Ryuhyo also woke up from his dream, rubbing his eyebrows and sitting up.

  Tōji Hōsetsu rushed to Fūin's side like a child: "What do I do?! It's the first time I've invited Akane-sister over for dinner, and you and Makino-brother have also come..."

  "What's wrong?" Fuuka asked gently.

  "But I forgot that Mom mentioned earlier that she would take our family's chefs to a friend's banquet to help out, so..."

  "So?"

  "So today there's no one at home to cook for everyone! Everyone will go hungry! What to do!"

  Ming Xiao Xi suddenly realized, so that's how it was. She thought something was wrong. She smiled and said: "Xiao Xue, never mind, I'll just head home first today and bother you again next time."

  "Look, what I'm most afraid of is going to happen. Fūin no Onii-chan, I don't want to..."

  Fūin Kazuki patted her head: "Don't worry, I'll help."

  "Wow!" Tōji Hōsetsu jumped up, "Fūma bro, you promised!"

  Feng Jian Cheng looked at the misty Ming Xiao Xi and said warmly, "Wait a moment, we'll be having dinner soon." As he spoke, he also turned around and left.

  Ming Xiao Xi pulled Dong Si's sleeve: "Where did Feng Jian Xue go?"

  Dong Si Hao Xue playfully winked at her: "You're in luck today!"

  "...?" Just said I'm starving.

  Toji's eyes widened in intoxication as he smacked his lips: "It's been two years since I last had a dish made by Fuuma, and the flavor still lingers in my mind..."

  Akane's eyes widened in surprise: "You... you had Fuuma-kun cook?"

  Dong Si Haoxue nodded and smiled: "It's all thanks to you."

  Akane couldn't believe what she heard: "Fūin-senpai can cook?" That Japanese rich boy?

  Tōji Kōsetsu nodded vigorously with a look of reverence in his eyes, gazing in the direction where Fūjin had disappeared: "Fūjin-niisan can do anything... He's like a god..."

  Ming Xiao Xi took a while to digest what she had just heard before asking: "Then what are we going to do?"

  Dong Si's eyes narrowed as he smiled: "Ming sister, I'll take you on a tour of my house, okay?"

  "Not good!"

  "Shall we go swimming?"

  "Not good!"

  "Shall we go watch a movie?"

  "Not good!"

  "That... we..."

  Ming Xiao Xi glared at her: "Let's go help Fūkama learn how to cook!"

  "Ah, don't..."

  "Why not?!" Ming Xiaoxi said loudly, "Feng Jianxue wants to cook for the five of us, how can we not go and help?"

  Tōji Hōsetsu retreated back into the sand: "You don't know, Kazama-senpai is really amazing, never relying on others for help."

  "It's not what you said, people should share the blessings and bear the hardships together! It's one thing that Fūin Kage is formidable, but whether we help or not is another matter!"

  Ming Xiao Xi looked at Dong Si Hao Xue who was already lying on the sand: "In one sentence, are you going to help me or not?"

  "No... don't... I won't be of any help..."

  Ming Xiao Xi glanced at her and turned to Mu Ye Liu Bing who was lost in thought: "And you? Are you going to go help?"

  Makino Ryu's eyes, like crystal clear water, gazed at her with his long eyelashes raised, as if she were an alien who had just asked a question more incomprehensible than Einstein's theory of relativity.

  Ming Xiao Xi resignedly lowered her head, she had long expected the answer would be like this.

  "She let out a loud cry: 'Someone should tell me where the kitchen is!'"

  Ming Xiao Xi was completely absorbed in it.

  Never seen a man wearing an apron cooking can be so elegant and beautiful.

  Feng Jiancheng was working in the kitchen, but that calm temperament, elegant demeanor, and smiling expression made it seem as if he were creating a masterpiece of unparalleled beauty.

  Kazehaya stood there staring at himself with a foolish expression, his eyes looking like those of a sleepwalking Alice. He smiled and said, "Your drool is dripping down."

  "Ah," Ming Xiaoxi hastily wiped the corner of her mouth with great force.

  What's so funny about this place? She finally realized people were making fun of her.

  Her face turned red like an apple.

  Fūin's eyes smiled: "Are you here to help?"

  She nodded.

  "What about them?"

  "What?... They... all have something very important to attend to... really can't get away..."

  Fengjian Cheng smiled lightly: "Xiaoxi, don't lie for them anymore. Don't I still understand their temper?"

  The liar hangs his head in shame.

  Feng Jian was washing tomatoes: "What can you do?"

  Ming Xiao Xi rushed in front of him: "I can do everything, let me wash this!" She stretched out her hand to help him wash the tomatoes.

  In her panic, she bumped into Fūin's slender fingers.

  Warm and warm...

  Warm...

  It seems to still be electrified...

  Ming Xiaoxi's face was redder than the tomato in her hand.

  "Bang!"

  Ming Xiao Xi fiercely punched her own head with her fist.

  Good grief! How pathetic!

  A large hand gently massaged the injured area on her head: "Silly girl, why use so much force to hit yourself? Does it hurt?"

  This must be a divine hand, her head has never felt so comfortable before.

  "Ah!" Don't think nonsense, she reminded herself with all her might, and the first sentence that came to mind was, "What are you doing?"

  "Huh?"

  "I... I mean... what are you planning to do for dinner?"

  "Oh, I think I'll make some sushi, sashimi, vegetable salad, a soup, and then do a few small dishes..."

  "Huh?"

  "Not to your taste?"

  "No, no! But you're doing so many things, won't you get too tired?"

  Feng Jian looked at her with interest: "What's your good proposal? Otherwise, help me make a few dishes, how about that?"

  "Ah, me?......"

  "Can you help me?"

  Mingyue Creek took a deep breath, for friends, one should be willing to die!

  "Good!"

  In the luxurious dining hall, Tōji Hōsetsu exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! What a sumptuous dinner! I'm going to dig in!"

  "She eagerly began to taste each dish one by one: "Fujiwara brother's sushi is so delicious! ... Fujiwara brother's sashimi is truly the world's number one delicacy! ... Hmm, this dish..."

  Mingyue Creek's heart rose to his throat.

  "Delicious, refreshing and not greasy... The color is also well-matched, it's truly a perfect combination of flavor, aroma and color... Kaze no Aniki, is this your new dish?"

  Feng Jian smiled and looked at Ming Yixi: "The great chef is her."

  Dong Si Hao Xue stared at Ming Xiao Xi in surprise: "Sister Ming, did you do this?"

  Ming Xiao Xi smiled: "Yes."

  "Ming sister, you're making me cook for the first time I'm here... but what you made is really delicious! The meat is tender and smooth..."

  "It's just that some starch was added to the meat before stir-frying."

  "What's the name of this dish?"

  "Spicy chicken cubes..."

  "Cough cough cough!!!...... Cough cough!...... Cough cough cough cough cough!!!"

  A violent fit of coughing interrupted their conversation.

  Makino Ryu's face turned bright red as he coughed violently, and his pale complexion was stained with two blushes. It's really strange, even when he's coughing, he looks beautiful, worthy of being called Japan's number one handsome boy.

  His cough grew more violent.

  Kazehaya hands him a cup of warm water, letting him take a few sips, then hands him a piece of sushi and pats his back: "Fuyu, eating some sushi will make you feel better."

  "Ah, I was so busy praising how delicious this dish is that I forgot to tell Matsumoto-san that it's very spicy."

  "Can Makino-senpai eat spicy food?"

  "Uh-huh. Makino-san's stomach is particularly bad and he's extremely sensitive to spicy things, if he even touches a little bit of it, he can't take it."

  "Ah!......"

  Ming Xiao Xi looked at Mu Ye Liu's distressed expression and felt as if her heart was being pinched by a dozen small hands, very uncomfortable.

  She apologized to Makino Fuyu: "Makino-senpai, I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

  Makino Ryu didn't even glance at her and tossed her a sentence:

  "Go away!"

  Ming Xiao Xi walked alone in a daze through the garden of Dong Si's house.

  The night was quiet and the scenery was beautiful, but she had no mood at all.

  Suddenly, she felt a warm figure approaching her side.

  A warm and friendly atmosphere...

  Is it Fūjin Ran?

  Ming Xiao Xi turned around with surprise.

  It's him after all.

  Elegant Feng Yanjing looks exceptionally extraordinary under the moonlight, his smile is so radiant.

  Ming Xiao Xi anxiously asked him: "Is Mukoyama-senpai doing better?"

  "Much better. Little Snow is taking care of him."

  She let out a sigh.

  Fujiwara said, "You don't have to feel too guilty. You didn't know that Ryūgami has a weak stomach, so you made a spicy dish. Look, I knew he couldn't eat spicy food and forgot to remind him. The one who should take responsibility is me, isn't it?"

  Ming Xiao Xi raised her nose and smiled: "Thank you, Fēng Jiān senior, I'm feeling much better now!"

  And don't take what Liang Bing said to heart. That's just the way he talks, and actually, there's no malice in it. Once you get used to him, you'll understand...

  His gaze suddenly became distant: "Including Hao Nan... he actually wasn't as bad as you thought..."

  Ming Xiao Xi followed his line of sight and looked over, in the distant swimming pool, there was a figure of a young boy.

  "Hao Nan hasn't eaten dinner, he must be starving now..."

  Fujiwara no Sari seemed to be muttering to herself: "One sushi should be just right..."

  The water in the swimming pool sparkles.

  Tōji Hiroshi wiped off the water droplets on his body with a light blue large towel.

  Ming Xiao Xi looked at him with curiosity.

  Actually, from the moment she met him, they didn't hit it off, but rather quarreled, and she hadn't had a chance to clearly see his entire appearance.

  Honestly, Toji Hiroshi is quite good-looking. He's tall and has a well-built physique (especially when he's only wearing swim trunks), with sharp facial features that seem to have been carefully crafted by the creator, every detail in its perfect place. His eyes are large and bright, his nose is straight and strong, and his lips are full and shiny - using the usual vocabulary, he's a very "sexy" young man.

  However, Ming Xiao Xi thought pickily that his personality was too rotten, especially when he revealed a murderous aura and his eyes were filled with evil energy...

  Tōji Takao slammed the large towel to the ground: "It's you again, you stinking woman!"

  "What an impolite guy!" Ming Xiaoxi's temper seemed to be easily triggered when facing him.

  He grasped her chin: "Are you here to provoke?"

  Ming Xiao Xi dodged with a flash, easily shaking off his grasp, and smiled complacently: "Haven't you learned your lesson yet? No one has ever been able to get the better of me."

  Toji's eyes narrowed gloomily: "Oh, then let's give it a try!"

  A fearless one has arrived. Ming Xiao Xi thought to herself, "He doesn't know that the young lady is the martial arts champion of Taiwan's youth group, this time she must give him a profound lesson."

  The momentum is building up, with both fists clenched—

  What's this?

  She took a closer look at her right hand. Her right hand was holding a plate, on which were two sushi carefully made by Fūinjutsu.

  Ming Xiao Xi suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit ——

  What's wrong?

  "Cough!"

  Ming Xiao Xi's face turned red, she coughed awkwardly, pushed out her left palm and shouted loudly:

  "Halt!"

  Tōji Hiroshi didn't know what she was up to.

  Akira's ideological struggle was very intense, and finally she hesitantly said: "Hiroshi Tōji! I...I didn't come to quarrel with you, I...I am..."

  She gritted her teeth and raised her right hand: "I'm here to deliver sushi for you!"

  Tōji Hiroo stared at her in surprise as she held up two very beautiful sushi.

  Ming Xiao Xi hesitated and said: "Feng Jian Xue Chang said you're not as bad as I thought... I... I believe Feng Jian Xue Chang..."

  "And besides..." she continued, "I thought about it carefully, and you don't seem to have done anything particularly heinous... of course... smashing cake in someone's face and using violence on Xiaoxue is wrong!"

  Her chest heaved and then fell, "Of course... I threw garbage on your head, I wanted to slap you in front of everyone, that was wrong too... But... That was also because of you... Never mind, in any case, you didn't take revenge on me, didn't use despicable means... I think..."

  Tōji Hiroshi lost his patience and cut her off with a loud shout: "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

  Ming Xiao Xi pouted her lips and shouted: "I didn't play any tricks! I...!"

  She plucked up her courage: "I have come to talk peace..."

  "Haha! Hahaha! Ha ha ha!"

  Tōji Hiroo was taken aback for a moment before bursting into loud laughter.

  He turned his face, sneering coldly: "What makes you think I'd be the biggest fool in the world?! Stinky woman! Wanting to trick me, Young Master, dream on for a few more lifetimes!"

  Ming Xiao Xi suppressed her anger and calmly walked over to put the sushi on a small round table by the swimming pool.

  She lifted her face and stared at Tōji Hiroshi, her eyes shining brighter than all the stars in the sky: "I've tried my best, what you do is up to you, I'm not afraid of you! As for sushi, it's none of your business whether you like it or not." Crystal clear.
