Chapter 37: Being Kicked Off the Bed by Liuliu Yue 20 Times in One Night
At the player entrance of Tianfeng Academy.
Looking at the blonde girl who gently held her palm, Liuliu Yue’s mind suddenly went blank, and her expression became slightly dazed.
Unconsciously, the flow of air seemed to become unusually slow.
The atmosphere felt as if it was frozen.
The two of them stayed in that position, perfectly still, quietly looking at each other for a whole minute.
"What are you doing!?"
After realizing what happened, Liuliu Yue quickly pulled her hand away.
She had a stern look on her face, watching the shorter blonde girl with great caution.
If you call it shy, that’s not really the case…
After all, it was her own body.
There shouldn’t be anyone in the world who feels they have misbehaved with themselves while clapping, right?
At that moment, what she was really thinking about was whether Su Huan had some secret plan…
Just then, Su Huan explained calmly, "Don’t rush; take a moment to feel if your Resonance Value has increased again."
"……"
"……"
"It seems, it really is!?"
Feeling the slight increase in July Fire’s Resonance Value, Liuliu Yue suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.
They only held hands for one minute, and the Resonance Value increased by about 1%!!
How can something like this happen!?
"Liuliu Yue, did you touch me while you were sleeping last night?" Su Huan asked again.
"Pfft……"
"Ahem!!"
"Su Huan, are you sick?"
"Why would I touch my own body?"
This sudden and bold question almost made Liuliu Yue choke on her own saliva; she quickly became embarrassed and shouted angrily.
Seeing this, Su Huan waved his hand in speechlessness.
"No, what I meant is that when we might have shared the same bed, we could have accidentally touched each other. After all, that bed is not very big, so it’s normal to bump into each other."
"It has been proven that physical contact can raise the Resonance Value, so I think we must have had some contact last night, although that is not the main point anymore…"
"No, this is very important!!"
To prove her innocence, Liuliu Yue called forth July Fire and tried to synchronize with its memories to find out what really happened last night.
Not looking was fine, but once she looked, Liuliu Yue’s face instantly turned bright red.
Yes, Su Huan’s analysis and guess were completely correct.
Last night, my body twisted and turned like a worm, and I kicked Su Huan off the bed more than twenty times. Each time, he climbed back up with a confused look, showing no real reaction, clearly having slept through it all.
I never expected that my terrible sleeping position would still cause trouble even in a different body…
You should know that her bed at Double Moon Sect is four meters wide. It was specially changed to a Battle Pet bed because she used to fall out of bed and get bruised all the time when she was little.
After the truth was revealed, Liuliu Yue felt both embarrassed and a little amused, and awkwardly warned:
"Su Huan, you can’t look at what happened last night, okay!?"
"Yeah, I know. If the Resonance Value increased so much, the scene must have been a bit suggestive, but there’s nothing awkward about hugging my own body."
Su Huan nodded with a blank expression, indicating that he understood.
After hearing this, Liuliu Yue’s cheeks puffed out slightly as she took a few deep breaths, clearly trying to hold back her laughter.
After a moment, she asked with confusion, "So, why does physical contact increase the Resonance Value with our Battle Pet?"
"That’s why I came here today to stop you."
"Some things should never be said online."
"Even video calls and voice chat carry risks…"
As he finished speaking, Su Huan gestured to Liuliu Yue to lean down a bit so he could whisper in her ear.
Then, Liuliu Yue bent down, and Su Huan struggled to stand on his tiptoes just enough to reach her ear.
"Liuliu Yue, do you remember when I told you about the time I almost had my soul erased by Morpho Cisseis?"
"Back then, besides the Sky Stone, it also tested another Mythical Beast."
"[Lover]
"Have you heard of it?"
Liuliu Yue looked very confused.
Su Huan continued to explain:
"Well, even though we haven’t heard of it, doesn’t the first feeling you get from this name relate to what we’re experiencing now?"
"It seems like that might be the case…" Liuliu Yue showed a thoughtful expression upon hearing this.
"Are you saying that Morpho Cisseis detected the presence of a lover in you…?"
"If our swap really is caused by this Mythical Beast, then this name sounds a bit concerning!!"
"……"
"……"
"Yes, maybe we need to do something bigger… Never mind, for now, let’s just try to investigate. If it is a misunderstanding, that would be bad."
Su Huan stopped speaking in time.
Liuliu Yue, who understood him well, also looked slightly flushed and nodded vigorously to show her agreement.
Faced with that shameless possibility, both of them instinctively chose to shrink back and avoid it.
Because if physical contact could increase the Resonance Value, then according to this rule made for "lovers," kissing or coming together could mean there might be a chance to undo the switch?
But the two of them didn’t even dare to think about testing it with the simulator.
After all, what happens in the simulator feels just like real life; Liuliu Yue was one hundred percent out of the question, and Su Huan even more so, as he could not pretend to be a woman in the simulation…
He would much rather never switch back than face that painful scene.
So, after a moment of silence, the two of them parted ways.
Su Huan’s figure quickly disappeared from view.
Liuliu Yue stood still and thought for a few minutes before stepping out of the passage with a stiff face.
To her surprise, as soon as she looked up, she saw Daiyue, Liang Xiao, Huang Yu, and Wang Murou whispering and hiding around the corner.
"What happened to the promised four hours? Why did Liuliu Yue leave?"
"What do you know? Didn’t you see them holding hands and whispering? Their faces were red; they must be planning something fun tonight and went to prepare for the prop game early!"
"……"
"……"
Hearing this, Liuliu Yue felt a surge of anger rising within her, her heart was burning with rage.
The prop game!?
What is the prop contest?
Do I have to chop off your underdeveloped brains with a big knife to count as a prop contest?
I will stab you, stab you, stab you, stab you!! I will stab you!! I will stab you!!!
I will stab you all!!!!!!!!

As night just began to fall, Su Huan was already lying on the big bed in the hotel.
He and Liuliu Yue promised to make sure they get 4 hours of sleep every day.
Not to mention that tomorrow’s quarter-final schedule is extremely important.
The opponent has one of the three kings on their side…
Xingfu Academy, Luo Xinglai!!!
He must defeat Luo Xinglai to reach the semi-finals and personally end the feud with Liuliu Yue.
Liuliu Yue’s opponent is also strong, being one of the top seeds for this championship.
Green Thunder Academy, Wuse Kui!!!
Therefore, both of them need to get some rest early.
Otherwise, if they feel sleepy during the match tomorrow, it would really be hopeless…
However…
"Ding!"
Just as Su Huan started to feel a bit sleepy, a message on his phone by his pillow jolted him awake.
He picked up his phone with a bit of helplessness, thinking that Liuliu Yue had caused some trouble again, but he found it was actually a new friend request.
The user’s ID was a mermaid, but the profile picture was of Quan Zhiliang, one of the three kings, looking straight at him.
The request note also clearly said the name "Quan Zhiliang" in big letters.
What could the three kings’ Quan Zhiliang want with Liuliu Yue?
Su Huan couldn’t help but wonder.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he accepted the friend request, curious to see what Quan Zhiliang was really up to.
[Friend request accepted]
[A mermaid said, "Master Liuliu Yue, I would like to confirm, you are the one at table number six, right?"]
Quan Zhiliang got straight to the point with her first sentence.
It was clear that she had doubts about Yu Qing Guan’s voice.
Quan Zhiliang suspected that Yu Qing Guan, who was in charge of the narration, was the executor at table number six.
After a moment of silence, Su Huan decided to send this record to Liuliu Yue, planning for her to respond on her own.
Liuliu Yue replied, "Hmm."
Just one "Hmm," elegant yet sophisticated.
Su Huan quickly forwarded that "Hmm."
After that, he waited about three minutes, but Su Huan did not receive a reply from Quan Zhiliang.
Just as he was about to put his phone down again, he suddenly received an invitation to a group chat.
[You have joined the group chat "Luo Xinglai is a fool"]
[Group members: Quan Zhiliang, Yu Qing Guan, Yin Hongsu, Liuliu Yue]
[Yu Qing Guan and Yin Hongsu are not your friends; please be careful with your property and personal privacy]
Huh?
Seeing the members of this small group, Su Huan was a bit confused.
There are a total of 10 executors in the Reverse Time Meeting, and now there are 2 small groups forming…
There can’t be a third one, right?
By the way, how did Quan Zhiliang manage to perfectly avoid bringing people from Luo Xinglai’s side into the small group?
Moreover, even Yin Hongsu, who didn’t say a word from start to finish at the Reverse Time Meeting, got involved…
It’s a pity that Quan Zhiliang missed her chance and pulled herself in, instead of being able to switch bodies with Liuliu Yue.
Quan Zhiliang, "Master Liuliu Yue, I believe you have seen the competition schedule, right?"
Quan Zhiliang, "According to the competition progress, you will face Luo Xinglai in the semifinals. I have some Battle Pet information about Luo Xinglai that can help you effectively challenge this weak opponent."
Yu Qing Guan, "You should really stop talking. Although I don’t like Luo Xinglai either, you are also an amazing person. Are you insulting Master Liuliu Yue’s skills? Does she need to specifically look at Luo Xinglai’s information to fight her?"
Quan Zhiliang, "That’s not what I meant! Don’t misjudge me. I just really want to compete in the finals against Master Liuliu Yue; I got momentarily carried away!!"
Quan Zhiliang, "And if I hadn’t just checked with Master Liuliu Yue that she is indeed No. 6, I would seriously doubt you. If you are No. 1, why don’t you have Su Huan as a friend? How did you make a deal with him recently? How did you know Eclipse 19’s real name? When I first tested you, what you said didn’t make sense at all!!"
Yu Qing Guan, "……"
What? Did Liuliu Yue admit she is No. 6?
Well, at this moment, Yu Qing Guan was completely sure.
Liuliu Yue is the number one who plays the identity swap game with me!!
She really didn’t have Su Huan’s contact information, because it was the real Liuliu Yue who provided the information about Eclipse 19 to Su Huan.
However, the famous Liuliu Yue actually played such a childish game with me, and even now is still working together, which filled Yu Qing Guan with a great sense of satisfaction.
At the same time, seeing that Yu Qing Guan was already speechless and had stopped barking, Quan Zhiliang brought the topic back to Liuliu Yue.
"Master Liuliu Yue, I don’t mean to underestimate you, I simply want to ask, do you need anything?"
"……"
"……"
Faced with the question, Su Huan took a long time to reply.
It was because he had passed all the records to Liuliu Yue, still having Liuliu Yue answer this question.
As a result, a moment later, Liuliu Yue sent a funny picture.
It was an image of a panda dragon holding a giant machete.
[The text at the bottom of the image: I’ll slice your mom into three pieces with one chop.]
Su Huan, "……"
He suddenly wondered if Liuliu Yue had learned some strange knowledge recently.
He felt that her mental state had changed a bit.
However, Su Huan still shared this abstract image of a killer horse in the group chat according to Liuliu Yue’s reply.
Quan Zhiliang, "……"
Yu Qing Guan, "……"
Yin Hongsu, "……"
A few seconds later, even Yin Hongsu, who never spoke up, was surprised by this picture.
In a hotel room for competitors, Quan Zhiliang looked at Liuliu Yue as if she were meeting her for the first time, her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide, showing a look of deep doubt.
In the end, she could only comfort herself by thinking that Liuliu Yue didn’t need any information from Luo Xinglai.
And on the other side…
After creating a bit of drama, Su Huan lay back down and set his phone to silent mode.
At this moment, there was less than half a day left until the match against Luo Xinglai…!!!
——
——
Jade Wind State, Tianfeng Academy, Training Room 307.
Early in the morning, Feng Qinqin and three or four other teammates were already gathered in front of the screen in the room.
They all looked very tired, yawning constantly.
"I only slept for three hours! I was too excited to fall asleep!"
"Do we really need to rush? There are still three or four hours until the match starts. Plus, the top eight spots are already decided, so there shouldn’t be any changes…"
"What do you know? This is the first time our Tianfeng Academy is facing a team from the Three Kings! This is very different from just any ranking. This is a historic moment! Just think about it. What happened to the players from Youlan Academy who got into the top eight by chance? They ended up being unknown in the professional league, barely making any waves. On the other hand, every generation of the Three Kings is remembered forever, and our captain and Su Huan will also be recorded in history. When you compare that, it’s incredibly impressive!"
The vice-captain of Team 307 was boasting.
Hearing this, Feng Qinqin, who was previously feeling a bit dazed from sleepiness, suddenly widened her eyes.
Yes, if you say so…
The single-session ranking, compared to facing the Three Kings, really has become an insignificant title!
Moreover, if Su Huan can make Luo Xinglai struggle, wouldn’t that be even more impressive!
But…
Facing the strongest Battle Pet Master of this new generation, can Su Huan, a native of Jade Wind State, truly fight back?
The team members present are all at the infancy stage of Battle Pet Masters, so if they don’t sleep for a day, they will feel tired.
But it’s different for the mentors who are already at the mature stage…
At this moment, the high-ranking officials of Tianfeng Academy and all the mentors have not slept all night.
Everyone is waiting for the start of the top eight competition.
They were very eager to know.
How much can Su Huan fight against the Xingfu Academy led by Luo Xinglai and the three kings…?
No need to hope for victory.
Reaching the top four was something they never even dreamed of.
But if they could hang on for just five minutes, it would raise Tianfeng Academy’s standing to an unprecedented level and shock the entire Academy League!
Then, they could become the rulers of Jade Wind State!
Meanwhile, a large number of viewers had already gathered in the live room of Jade Wind State.
Not only the students from Tianfeng Academy, but also the little ones who were not yet old enough to enroll and opponents from other schools, and even alumni who had graduated years ago, were eagerly waiting for the final outcome of Tianfeng Academy.
In this painfully long wait.
Finally, the competition time has arrived.
The contestants from the top eight teams begin to appear one by one.
The teams from Youlan Academy, Tianyu Academy, Tingfeng Academy, and other eliminated teams have moved to the viewing seats among regular spectators.
Perhaps because they share the same experience, the contestants from the three academies are sitting very close to each other.
At that moment, White Sparrow, the captain of Youlan Academy, was casually leaning back with her legs crossed, looking bored as she munched on sunflower seeds.
The discarded sunflower seed shells were carelessly placed into the hood of Mo Zhao, who was sitting in front of her.
"Honestly, I didn’t plan to come today. After all, the semifinals tomorrow and the finals the day after are what really matter. But I can’t help but be curious if Su Huan can still maintain his proud demeanor against opponents of the Three Kings level."
"You from Youlan Academy, don’t throw sunflower seed shells around and embarrass us from Jade Wind State," Mo Zhao, with her black princess-style haircut, warned seriously without turning around.
"Hmm, don’t worry, I didn’t throw them on the ground~~"
"……"
"……."
"By the way, the first match is the one for Tianfeng Academy."
On the other side, the captain of Tianyu Academy, Iris, looked at the schedule with a very complicated expression.
Who would have thought that Su Huan, who was once not taken seriously and even faced a lot of online bullying, would manage to reach the top eight all on his own?
Even Huang Qiuyi, who had a complete-stage Battle Pet, lost to him…
Thinking of this, Iris couldn’t help but remember what Su Huan had said during the audition.
The reason Tianfeng Academy was criticized was simply because they were not strong enough…
And now, there are no more spectators who would go to the Tianfeng Academy and Su Huan’s accounts to say harsh things.
Su Huan truly silenced all the netizens with his overwhelming strength.
But…
In this world, no one is invincible.
When faced with Luo Xinglai, Su Huan will surely taste defeat for the first time!!
How will he explain himself then…?
——
——
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Contestants entered the battle area one after another.
Su Huan, dressed in a long white uniform, stood out among the crowd. Unlike the silent atmosphere from a few days ago, his appearance immediately brought loud cheers and countless screams of support from new fans.
Seeing such a grand welcome ceremony, Daiyue and the others looked a bit uneasy.
How could it be that the Jade Wind State players could cause such excitement?
At that moment, Yu Qing Guan, with long green hair, stepped up to the commentary booth and began to introduce the teams and players for the first battle.
"Ahem, Tianfeng Academy. I’m sure everyone hadn’t heard of this school from Jade Wind State just a few days ago, as they haven’t been in the Academy League for over 20 years. But in just three days, the name Su Huan has shocked all eight states!"
"Not long ago, Tianfeng Academy defeated Mohuang Court with a huge advantage, and Su Huan amazed everyone with an unprecedented nine kills!"
"They fought their way into the top eight, only to be faced with an opponent they could not defeat…"
"Xingfu Academy, one of the three kings."
"Star Fairy Luo Xinglai!!!"
"She is the first dark-type Battle Pet Master of this generation to be given the title of the Three Kings. Her partner Battle Pet, Starless Princess, defeated a complete-stage Battle Pet even when it was at the mature stage. For the newly opened Tianfeng Academy, the gap between them is even wider than the stars!!!"
It is clear that, although Su Huan and Luo Xinglai are both members of the Reverse Time Meeting.
Yu Qing Guan does not have a good feeling about Su Huan.
She never even considered the possibility of Tianfeng Academy winning.
In fact, not only Yu Qing Guan, but even Quan Zhiliang, who is also one of the Three Kings, never imagined a future where Luo Xinglai would lose.
However…
At this moment, in the entire venue, there is only one person whose gaze is fixed on the white-haired man.
Double Moon Saintess, Liuliu Yue.
Since Su Huan entered the arena, she has not taken her eyes off him for a second.
"Su Huan, come before me…"
"Just like when we first met in our past life, let the semifinals decide the winner!!!"
