With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 99

“Heh, do you really think we’d believe that?”

Wang Gang cracked his neck, putting on a fierce and intimidating expression.

Xia Yue, sitting on the floor, shrank back further into the corner.

“We only have one demand…”

The group continued to press forward, and Wang Gang even crouched down, staring intently into Xia Yue’s eyes.

“Wh-What demand?”

A flicker of hope appeared in Xia Yue’s eyes, as if she saw a chance to escape.

Seriously, my brother is the one who caused this trouble, yet I’m the one suffering for it. Once I get back, I’m definitely going to demand compensation from him! At the very least… at the very least, a limited edition figurine! If that’s not possible, a big cake might be nice too… hehe…

“It’s simple. Just change the ending of Dragon Raja III so that Eri survives safely.”

It sounded simple enough. After all, if the author themselves wanted to change the ending, it would just be a matter of typing a few lines. But unfortunately, the “Xia Xi” in front of them wasn’t the actual author.

And besides…

“What?! I refuse!”

Xia Yue was a firm believer in tragic endings (BE); she actually enjoyed stories that made people cry their eyes out.

In her opinion, those happy, perfect endings couldn’t compare to the emotional impact of a tragic one.

“Oh? The little author has quite the attitude…”

Wang Gang reached out and patted her cheek, then stood up and waved to the others around him.

“Brothers, what should we do with this stubborn old hack, Chenxi?”

Hearing this, the crowd immediately erupted.

“Let’s get him!”

“Yeah, take him to the living room and teach him a lesson!”

“He needs to experience hell itself!”

The whole scene was like a bunch of members from the  FFF Inquisition, holding torches and ready to burn a traitor tied to a stake to ashes.

“Wait… can’t we talk this over?…”

Xia Yue pulled her neck in, trying to retreat further, but found her back already against the cold, hard wall.

“Hmph, there’s nothing to discuss with an author who won’t listen. Brothers, let’s go!”

Wang Gang snorted coldly and was the first to step out of the small, dark room.

The corners of everyone else’s mouths lifted into sinister smiles as they lifted Xia Yue horizontally, keeping her lying flat, and raised her high.

…..

Half an hour later.

“I… I can’t anymore, please let me go…”

Xia Yue sat in a comfortable ergonomic chair, begging for mercy nonstop.

“No way! You clearly haven’t had enough yet. Keep eating!”

Wang Gang held Xia Yue’s head in place, his expression one of pure satisfaction.

How long had it been since he felt this good after reading Dragon Raja?

Watching the old hack Chenxi eating delicious food right in front of him, her belly slowly expanding, juices dripping from the corners of her mouth because it was too full—what a satisfying and vengeful feeling!

“I really… can’t eat anymore… burp~”

One person held a peeled crayfish and stuffed it into Xia Yue’s mouth, while another pinched her chin, helping her chew.

Once she showed signs of swallowing, someone quickly brought over chilled watermelon juice and inserted the straw into her mouth.

She took a couple of sips, using the refreshing juice to cut through the greasiness.

“So, are you going to change the ending or not! If not, we still have plenty of dishes here… Let me see, next up, let’s have this hairy crab!”

How cruel! How could words so vicious come from a mouth of 37 degrees Celsius!

Xia Yue genuinely didn’t want to eat anymore! Even though the food tasted great and being fed was enjoyable… couldn’t they swap in a few pretty big sisters instead!

Surrounded by so many big, burly men, her inner high school beauty felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she were the female lead in a dubious plot, feeling utterly tainted.

“Onii-chan… imouto, come save me!!!”

….

Meanwhile.

Originally, Xia Xi and Luo Xinyu were planning to go find Xia Yue right away, but Luo Xingchen suddenly appeared and invited them both to a café.

“Sis, you’ve been going out so often lately—is it because of that Chenxi?”

Luo Xinyu calmly took a sip of her coffee.

“Yeah, what about it?”

She hadn’t expected her younger brother to be concerned about her whereabouts, even following her here, worried she might be scammed or something.

“Sis, did you even go to his house? And you bought a bunch of gifts?”

How infuriating! His own sister had never given him gifts. What right did that knife-throwing dog of an author have!

“Yeah, what about it?”

Luo Xinyu remained unflappable.

“Sis, be honest with me—do you like him?”

Luo Xingchen looked serious, not at all like he was joking.

Xia Xi, who was drinking orange juice beside them, nearly spat out his drink upon hearing the question.

If Luo Xinyu had feelings for anyone, it would be for the “Chenxi” she could swap bodies with—after all, the affection points were right there. As for him, the “author” Chenxi, they were probably… most likely… just ordinary friends.

“Yeah, what about it?”

Sis, you’re such a bot!

Luo Xingchen felt utterly drained hearing his sister repeat the same phrase over and over.

This habit of repeating the same sentence made it seem both like a joke and deadly serious, leaving people completely baffled.

But based on his understanding of Luo Xinyu, his sister probably wouldn’t joke about something like this, right? So that meant… his sister really did have her eye on that scoundrel?!

Although Luo Xingchen felt a bit displeased, if it was his sister’s decision, he would definitely support it.

But… support didn’t mean approval.

“I understand. I’ll thoroughly vet that guy for you, sis.”

Luo Xingchen was just a freshman in college. Though he often tagged along with his father for training, which made him seem mature, a little kid speaking so seriously about vetting someone else was somewhat amusing.

At the very least, Xia Xi found it pretty funny.

On another note, he hadn’t expected Luo Xinyu to answer that way either. They’d only met a few times—how could she already like him?

He was growing more convinced that Luo Xinyu had connected “Great Wizard Chenxi” with “Author Chenxi,” but he had no proof.

After all, Luo Xinyu always referred to him and “Chenxi” as two separate people: one was her real-life friend, the other her online friend.

“Don’t do anything reckless.”

Finally, Luo Xinyu said something different.

“Don’t worry, sis. You know how I operate, right?”

Indeed, her younger brother might be young, but he had a reliable way of handling things that put people at ease.

“By the way… this little lady who’s been with us from the start—is she Xia Xi’s sister?”

He took a sip of his coffee and turned to look at the petite girl sitting quietly, holding her orange juice obediently.

“So, what’s your impression of your brother?”
