With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 12

“Xia Xi is being his usual gloomy self today.”

“Do you want me to give you a couple days off so you can rest at home?”

“Don’t ignore my messages.”

“Alright, alright, you cold-hearted jerk.”

“Wahhh, please, come be my personal butler~”

“Today’s ‘love allowance’ has been sent to your WeChat—don’t forget to check it!”

As soon as Xia Xi returned to his own body, his phone buzzed relentlessly with a flood of messages. His lips twitched in irritation.

What’s with this idiot boss acting like some lovesick stalker? If she weren’t my meal ticket, I’d have reported her for sexual harassment by now!

[System Alert: Host has delayed using the second swap slot. To encourage proactive engagement, an urgent exchange mission has been issued.]

[Complete a random one-way body swap within five minutes and raise the target’s favorability to 0.]

[Reward: Any skill upgraded to Lv. 4.]

Originally, Xia Xi had planned to practice his painting skills in his own body—after all, each body had its own unique feel, and he still needed time to adjust.

But the sudden mission threw him off completely.

What does it mean, ‘delayed using the second slot’? It’s only been two days! I can’t just swap bodies every single day—that’d make me no better than some fickle playboy!

And what’s this about raising favorability to 0? Does that mean it can go negative?

Still…

“Initiate random swap. Select one-way mode.”

I’m only doing this to learn new skills—not because I want the reward or anything!

[Swap initiated. Selecting target…]

[Swap complete. Loading target’s skill modules…]

[Memory Lv. 6, Writing Lv. 6, Imagination Lv. 6—corresponding Lv. 1 skills have been synchronized to the host. Enjoy your exchange.]

…

A wave of dizziness washed over him as Xia Xi slowly opened his eyes.

“Who are you?! Give me back my body!”

Before he could even take in his surroundings, an angry voice exploded in his mind.

“You shameless, despicable, perverted freak! How dare you steal a girl’s body!”

Liu Yiyi was furious.

She had been ready to end it all—knife in hand, pressed against her neck, summoning the courage to make the final cut—when suddenly, she lost control of her own body.

As an avid reader of novels and web fiction, her first thought was body-snatching.

Logically, only some vile, centuries-old monster would resort to stealing another’s body. Sure, modern society shouldn’t have xianxia-level nonsense, but here she was, living proof of the impossible.

She wanted to die—but not like this! Not with some creep puppeteering her corpse!

Xia Xi, still adjusting to the new body, fell silent under the mental barrage.

Now he understood why the system demanded “raise favorability to 0.” The original owner’s hostility was off the charts!

My dear Luo Xinyu would never act like this. She even invites me to use her body.

Gently, he lowered the hand holding the fruit knife and placed it back on the coffee table—

Wait.

Why is there a knife?!

If his senses weren’t failing him, the blade had been a centimeter away from slicing his throat.

If Liu Yiyi had been any faster, he might’ve become the first system user to die by suicide.

He didn’t dare test whether his consciousness would return if this body died. The system’s rules were clear: Do not damage the exchanged body.

“This girl’s insane,” Xia Xi muttered under his breath, eyeing the knife warily.

“Who are you calling insane, you parasitic scum?! You disgusting, ancient, body-stealing troglodyte—how dare you judge me?!”

Yep. Favorability was plummeting even further.

Her verbal assaults were relentless. How was he supposed to handle this?

“I am the Grand Sorcerer under the Heavenly Emperor’s command, here to guide you toward a better life.”

Whatever. A little white lie couldn’t hurt. He just needed to calm her down.

“Bullshit! ‘Heavenly Emperor’? ‘Grand Sorcerer’? Don’t make me laugh. You’re just some shriveled-up monster who can’t stand sunlight.”

Liu Yiyi wasn’t buying it.

Fine. Time for Plan B.

“Keh keh keh! Sharp as a tack, aren’t you? Indeed, this venerable one is the Body-Snatching Demon King, here to claim the tender flesh of young maidens for cultivation!”

“I knew it! Give me back my body, you monster!”

Her conviction only grew stronger.

So the world really is stranger than I thought. Body-snatchers are real!

“Wait… you actually believe that?”

Now it was Xia Xi’s turn to be stunned.

Even airheaded Luo Xinyu would’ve seen through such an obvious lie. Was his acting that convincing?

Then he noticed the glowing computer screen on the desk—and everything clicked.

“The Domineering Demon Lord Falls for Me” – Chapter 666: “Even If I’m Possessed, Will You Still Love Me?”

Oh, for heaven’s sake.

No wonder she bought the “demon king” act—she was writing this kind of story herself!

“Let’s table the identity debate. For now, just think of me as an ancient demon. But tell me—why were you trying to kill yourself?”

Since reasoning was pointless, he might as well lean into the role.

“None of your business! It’s my body—I can die if I want to. Stop meddling!”

Another verbal lashing. Great.

“Then go ahead and die.”

“Don’t think I wouldn’t! Give me back my body!”

“No. Hit me if you’re mad~”

“AAAAHHH! You rotten, good-for-nothing leech! If you’ve got the guts to steal a weak girl’s body, show me your ugly goblin face!”

Xia Xi studied the delicate reflection on the screen.

Such a pretty face… such a foul mouth.

Thankfully, he was patient and kind-hearted. A lesser man might’ve just returned the body and let her slit her own throat.

Since Liu Yiyi refused to cooperate, he skimmed through her novel instead.

Despite the clichéd plot, the writing was surprisingly engaging—especially now that he was literally living a possession story.

But when he reached the latest chapter’s comment section, he froze.
