Chapter -39 A flirty Mix-up.

Chapter -39.

In the cozy west room on the first floor, Ye Chen was soaking in the bathtub, hoping to wash away his streak of bad luck. Today had been a real doozy; he'd been outsmarted by a big yellow dog, and it was so embarrassing to have that happen in front of so many people. Just thinking about it made him cringe.

"Knock, knock!"

A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. Since he was halfway through his bath and the villa was mostly empty except for a few folks from the Spirit Hall—and his future wife—he called out, "Come in!"

The door creaked open, and someone stepped inside, but oddly enough, they didn't say a word.

"Hello? Is there something urgent?" Ye Chen asked, a bit puzzled.

"Ye Chen, where are you? I'm from Tianshui Academy!"

Tianshui? Ye Chen's heart sank.

Tianshui Academy was an all-girls school, and it felt a bit rude for someone to just walk in like that. He quickly wrapped a towel around himself and stepped out of the bathroom.

To his surprise, there was a girl with bangs sitting on the sofa, wearing a cute strapless dress. She looked delicate, and when she caught sight of Ye Chen's bare upper body, her cheeks turned a bright shade of red.

"Would you like some tea? I can pour you a cup," Ye Chen offered, trying to be polite even though he was a bit confused about her visit.

"No, no! I just came to tell you something, and I'll be out of your hair soon," she said hurriedly, rushing over to stop him from making tea. In her fluster, she accidentally knocked over the glass teapot, sending shards everywhere.

"Oh no! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!" she exclaimed, looking adorably flustered as she bent down to pick up the broken pieces.

Just then, another petite figure appeared at the door.

Another girl walked in, and upon seeing the petite one, she asked, "Junior sister, what are you doing here?" She then approached them.

"Shh!" The petite girl quickly stepped away from the door, putting a finger to her lips and whispering, "Senior sister arrived before me, and she's with Ye Chen right now."

But that wasn't all; just a minute later, three more girls—both seniors and juniors—entered the villa.

Seeing this, the petite girl and the girl in blue quickly shushed them and pulled them over to watch quietly.

"Honestly, you don't need to clean up every little piece; just making it look tidy is enough," Ye Chen thought as he watched the glass shards slowly disappear. He figured he wouldn't be at the Royal Academy for long, so why stress over it?

"It's fine, I'm not tired," the girl with bangs said casually, but then her gaze darted to the door, and she exclaimed, "Senior sister, junior sisters, what are you all doing here?"

Caught off guard, the five girls awkwardly looked away, mumbling, "We just came to check things out and see the soul power levels of the participants in this exchange event. Oh, and senior sister, what brings you here?"

The sudden change in topic made the girl with bangs blush. She had only come to make a 'friend' with Ye Chen. "I accidentally broke the teapot in Ye Chen's room, so I'm just helping clean it up," she explained, holding up the bag of glass shards.

The sight left the other five girls in blue clothes wide-eyed and shocked.

In an instant, they all recalled the scenarios they had imagined, and their faces turned crimson as they realized they had completely misread the situation.

"We'll help too!" one of them said, breaking the awkwardness, and the five of them eagerly joined in to help clean up the glass.

Meanwhile, Xu Ning had checked the courtyard and was about to head back to his room for some rest. But as soon as he stepped into the villa's hall, he heard laughter coming from the west room.

"Hey, you're still awake!" Ye Chen greeted him with a smile.

"Sorry to interrupt!" Xu Ning quickly shut the door and dashed back to his room, muttering to himself, "The captain is too awesome! I need to ask him to teach me how to charm girls tomorrow."

Outside, a group was hurrying toward the villa, led by Dugu Yan, with the Shrek Academy following closely behind after getting the news.

Pointing to the villa, Dugu Yan smiled and said, "Ye Chen lives here; let's go find him!"

"Thanks!" Zhu Zhuqing replied calmly, though a spark of excitement danced in her eyes.

Seeing her friend Zhu Zhuqing so eager, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but sigh. After Ye Chen was taken, Ning Rongrong had rushed home for help, but even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was hesitant to confront the Spirit Hall directly.

Their sect was more about support, and they didn't have the combat strength to face the Spirit Hall head-on, so Ning Rongrong's father had advised her to think it through carefully.

Ning Rongrong had cried countless times after returning to Shrek, but thankfully, they had recently received news about Ye Chen.

With a determined grip on Zhu Zhuqing's wrist, Ning Rongrong barged into the villa and eagerly pushed open the door to the west room.

But soon, both girls were left speechless by the scene they walked into, and Flender, who had come over, was equally stunned, muttering, "You little rascal, you sure have a way with the ladies!"
