With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 115

An Xiaoyu’s body was hungry and exhausted, leaving her with little strength to resist. She could only let An Hu throw her onto the bed.

“Tch.”

An Hu glanced at Xia Xi, who was clutching the cheek that had been slapped, let out a soft click of his tongue, then stepped forward, picked up the phone he’d left on the computer desk, and transferred money to himself.

“Alright, I left you five bucks. Go buy yourself some band-aids. If this body gets damaged, who’s going to be my personal ATM?”

Xia Xi stared at him intently.

This just proved it, gamblers really weren’t worth sympathizing with. All they cared about was money and their own gain. To someone like him, his own daughter, An Xiaoyu, was nothing more than a machine for withdrawing cash.

[Detected damage to the exchange body. Checking source of damage…]
[Assessment: Malicious harm by another person. Temporary quest activated.]
[Temporary Quest: I Never Hold Grudges
How can someone with a system let others push them around?
Quest item “Reversal Swap Card” has been issued. Host, please use the item appropriately to punish the perpetrator.]
[Quest Reward: Passive Skill “Dizzy Spell”
Note: Considering the host’s excessive weakness after body swap, the reward skill “Dizzy Spell” is granted. When others attempt to harm the host, they will experience a one-second dizzy spell. No cooldown.]

So… this is basically a free reward quest?

After all, the system only said to inflict punishment, without specifying the degree. That meant as long as he used the item card on An Hu, he could receive this passive skill.

Looking at the quest prompt, the anger in Xia Xi’s eyes as he looked at An Hu faded, replaced by a hint of mockery.

“Use the Reversal Swap Card! Swap An Hu’s hands and feet, effective for everyone except An Hu!”

An Hu, seeing “An Xiaoyu” staring at him with clear ill intent, immediately stepped forward to teach her another lesson.

But suddenly, his legs gave way, and he fell to the floor. As luck would have it, his face landed right in the cup noodle container, and he let out a howl as the hot liquid scalded him.

“Damn it! Why is everything going wrong today?”

From Xia Xi’s perspective, An Hu’s arms were stretched out straight, connected at his hips, replacing his original legs for walking. Meanwhile, his hairy legs had taken the place of his arms.

The most ridiculous part was watching the man get up, shoot a fierce glare at Xia Xi, then use the toes of one foot to pull a cigarette from his pocket, while the toes of his other foot retrieved a lighter, trying to light the cigarette.

But because his feet couldn’t curl into fists like hands, every attempt to flick the lighter just made it drop to the floor.

“Dammit! Why won’t my hands listen to me today?!”

Watching him curse and leave the room, Xia Xi finally burst out laughing.

Sure, he’d been slapped for no reason, but that guy would have to use his hands and feet interchangeably for the rest of his life. Hmm… maybe he’d even get taken away by some organization for dissection and research?

Xia Xi got up from the bed, cleaned up the spilled noodles, then took An Xiaoyu’s blanket and mattress, which were now stained with grease, to wash them.

After finishing everything, he made himself another cup of noodles, wiped his sweat with some tissues, and collapsed into the gaming chair.

He had to admit, that old bastard was really vicious; his face still throbbed with pain.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The ringtone sounded from the phone.

“Hello?”

“Are you Bai Xiaocha?”

The voice on the other end belonged to Bai Xiaocha—soft and slightly nasal—but it was clear the speaker wasn’t Bai Xiaocha herself.

As a high school student, Bai Xiaocha’s personal details could easily be found at home, so it wasn’t surprising the caller knew that name.

Xia Xi stroked his smooth chin, then replied calmly.

“No.”

He saw no need to impersonate Bai Xiaocha. He was sure his own sister would definitely take Bai Xiaocha—who was now in “Xia Xi’s” body—to see the caller.

Why was Xia Xi so certain? Come on, would a fun-loving girl like Xia Yue ever pass up such an entertaining situation?

“Wait… um…”

The other person fell silent for a long moment.

“Are you the admin of that game?”

As expected of a gaming and programming expert, her logical thinking is sharp, Xia Xi thought. She guessed my identity right away.

“Correct, I—”

“Don’t say anything yet! I just want to ask one thing: how do we change back?”

An Xiaoyu’s tone was slightly anxious.

Xia Xi didn’t pay much mind to her tone. After all, anyone swapped into an unfamiliar body would feel panicked and desperate to change back, right?

Unless their original life was significantly worse, or their social status was much lower.

“System, she’s asking you a question. How do we change back?”

This was Xia Xi’s first time dealing with a punishment quest, so he didn’t know the procedure for reverting the swap.

[The punishment will end once Bai Xiaocha’s wish is fulfilled.]

Bai Xiaocha’s wish? How was he supposed to know what Bai Xiaocha’s wish was? And besides…

Xia Xi opened up a maps app.

He was currently in Rong City, hundreds of kilometers away from Yu City.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Please, I really need to get back to my own body.”

An Xiaoyu actually suspected that this admin was behind the body swap, but since she needed his help, she couldn’t afford to antagonize him.

“It’s simple: fulfill Bai Xiaocha’s wish. But Bai Xiaocha is probably in my body right now, and I’m too far away. So, whether you can change back is up to you.”

In this situation, there wasn’t much Xia Xi could do.

At most, he could call or video chat with Bai Xiaocha, but that was nowhere near as effective as meeting in person.

“Okay… I see…”

An Xiaoyu’s voice was dejected.

She didn’t say anything more, but she didn’t hang up either, as if hesitating about something.

“Um… Did An Hu give you any trouble?”

“You mean your gambler father? Don’t worry, he’s already received the punishment he deserved.”

Hearing this, An Xiaoyu felt a slight sense of relief. She had been worried that the admin in her body might confront An Hu directly and get hurt. It seemed like that hadn’t happened.

But as for punishment? Hah, she thought bitterly. Even calling the police was useless. What kind of punishment could there possibly be?

“Also, um…”

An Xiaoyu spoke haltingly.

“Do you know about my mom?”

“Yeah, An Hu said she’s a prostitute. Why?”

Hearing that he already knew about her background, An Xiaoyu took a deep breath and decided not to hold back.

“Yes, Qin Zhizhi is a prostitute. She’s been out of the business for over ten years… Actually, to be precise, she’s not my biological mother either.”

“Wait, hold on! What do you mean? An Hu isn’t your real dad, Qin Zhizhi isn’t your real mom… Then where did you come from? Were you adopted?”

Xia Xi’s mind was reeling.

Her dad isn’t her dad, her mom isn’t her mom, and both have shady “professions”? What kind of messed-up background is this?

“Basically… I was found…”
