Chapter 73

Mai's place wasn't particularly far from the school, so it didn't take long for Zhan Yi to arrive at her doorstep. He gently knocked on the door, and a female voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Upon hearing the voice of the maid, Xiao Lan, Zhan Yi's face lit up. He knew that if Mai were to open the door for him, it might be a bit difficult, but if Xiao Lan opened it, it would be much easier: "Xiao Lan, it's me, Zhan Yi. Please open the door quickly."

"Ah... Our young lady isn't here. I won't open the door for you. Please leave," Xiao Lan replied, sounding a bit flustered, and quickly refused Zhan Yi's request.

"Hehe... Xiao Lan, don't lie to me. If you don't open the door, I'll climb in through the window," Zhan Yi said with a mischievous smile, knowing that Xiao Lan was lying.

"You dare? I'm telling you, don't come in," Xiao Lan said and ran to close the window.

Hearing her voice, Zhan Yi's lips curled into a wicked smile. He took out a bank card from his pocket, slid it into the door crack, and the door opened. He then walked in confidently.

However, when he entered the room, he was stunned. Xiao Lan, wrapped in a short bath towel, was walking towards him from the window. Her chest, squeezed and half-exposed, was snow-white, and her hair was wet, clearly indicating she had just finished a shower and hadn't had time to dry it.

"Ah... How did you get in?" Xiao Lan, noticing Zhan Yi, immediately covered her chest and screamed.

Hearing her scream, Zhan Yi quickly moved to her waist, covering her mouth with his hand, and said nervously, "Xiao Lan, don't scream. I didn't mean to come in, and I didn't see anything."

Held by Zhan Yi, Xiao Lan, smelling the masculine scent on him, felt her heart racing, a mix of fear and embarrassment. She struggled slightly, making muffled sounds.

"Don't move, Xiao Lan. Did you understand what I said?" Zhan Yi was afraid that Xiao Lan would really scream. This was an apartment building, and if she screamed, others might think it was a rape.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lan struggled free from his embrace. Zhan Yi quickly tried to grab her, but only caught the corner of the towel. With both of them pulling, the towel came off completely.

"Ah..." Xiao Lan, seeing the towel in Zhan Yi's hand and realizing she was completely naked, screamed again and quickly covered her chest with her hands.

Zhan Yi, seeing Xiao Lan's snow-white body, was stunned. Her full, round chest, slender waist, and long, smooth legs, along with the hint of black forest in her intimate area, made his blood boil. After a moment, he felt a strong surge of desire rising from his abdomen, and his lower region reacted, making his pants bulge.

Zhan Yi quickly covered himself, but found his desire growing stronger, almost uncontrollable. He remembered the mysterious voice in the Yin-Yang Forest: "Your chaotic power comes from the dragon, and the dragon's nature is silver. You must try to control it, or you will face many silver calamities."

Realizing that the silver nature of the chaotic dragon was erupting, he took a deep breath, suppressing his impulse, and extended the towel to Xiao Lan: "Uh... Xiao Lan, you should wrap yourself up. I really want to rape you right now."

Xiao Lan, regaining her composure, quickly snatched the towel and wrapped herself in it, then glared at Zhan Yi and ran into her bedroom.

Zhan Yi took several deep breaths, waiting until his lower region calmed down, and then sat on a sofa. He now knew that Mai was really not at home, but he felt a bit of joy from the misunderstanding, as if he had taken advantage of a girl like a pervert.

After a while, Xiao Lan finally came out of her room, fully dressed, but her face was still flushed, and her gaze towards Zhan Yi was complex.

"Hehe, Xiao Lan, you won't blame me for what happened, right?" Zhan Yi, seeing Xiao Lan's blushing face, laughed awkwardly.

"Hmph... You pervert, who else would I blame?" Xiao Lan scolded, pouting.

"Xiao Lan, I'm not a pervert. If I were, I would have already pinned you down and had my way with you," Zhan Yi felt it was necessary to explain.

"You... still talking. No wonder the young lady says you're no good, always chasing after new girls and abandoning old ones," Xiao Lan's face turned red.

"Unfair, Xiao Lan. I left the young lady only because I had no choice. And..." Zhan Yi then recounted his hardships, embellishing the story to portray himself as a devoted man willing to sacrifice his life for his beloved. He ended with a quote: "What is love in this world that makes people willing to live and die for it?"

Xiao Lan, initially blaming Zhan Yi, became increasingly moved as he spoke. Her gaze towards him became more admiring. When he finished, she said softly, "You... don't need to do this. Our Moer women would never replace their beloved men with others if they died." She then lowered her head, blushing and fidgeting with the hem of her dress.

Seeing Xiao Lan's affectionate and melancholy gaze, Zhan Yi felt a pang of guilt. He thought, "Oh no, this girl is developing feelings. This is really not the time." He quickly changed the subject: "Right, Xiao Lan, where did Mai go? Why are you home alone?"

Xiao Lan, realizing she had lost her composure, straightened her expression. She had already fallen for Zhan Yi the first time she saw him with Mai, and her feelings had only grown stronger over time. She quickly regained her composure and said, "Our young lady went out with Wan'er to relax. I stayed home because I wasn't feeling well."

"Can you help me call her and ask her to come back quickly? But don't tell her I'm here," Zhan Yi felt the atmosphere between them was a bit awkward, but he couldn't leave just yet, so he asked for Xiao Lan's help.

"Um... I'll call her right away," Xiao Lan's face darkened, as if the distance between her and Zhan Yi had suddenly grown.

The call was quickly made, and Mai told Xiao Lan she was on her way back. Zhan Yi, watching Xiao Lan hang up the phone with a disappointed look, felt a bit guilty. He had seen her body and now asked her to help find his girlfriend, which seemed unfair. He bit his lip and said, "Xiao Lan, you looked really beautiful just now. Can I see you like that again?"

Xiao Lan, feeling quite upset, was taken aback by Zhan Yi's words. Her heart felt as if it had been filled with honey, and her face turned red as she scolded, "You... dream on, pervert." She then ran back to her bedroom.
