"I’m Qin Mengyao, you damn bastard! Are you looking for a fight? Let go of me!" Qin Mengyao cursed at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan lamented inwardly, Damn it! I got the wrong person. How embarrassing. After all my careful planning, I never expected this Qin Mengyao to look so much like Qin Yanran.

On closer inspection, he realized they weren’t that similar after all. Or rather, it wasn’t that they were completely dissimilar; from the back, at least, their figures were alike, and they had similar facial features. However, Qin Mengyao was a strange combination of a tomboy and a goddess.

To put it simply, when she was active, she was a tomboy ready to throw punches and kicks. When she was calm, she was a gentle and elegant goddess. She could switch between the two personas at will. Ye Fan knew he had really screwed up this time.

Just then, Qin Mengyao lashed out with a kick. Ye Fan was in immediate agony, having been hit by another one of those devastating low blows. His face went pale as he instantly released Qin Mengyao’s hand.

Ye Fan doubled over in pain, half-squatting on the ground. As the King of Heaven, what dignity did he have left? It was completely gone!

It was a move he could never seem to anticipate or defend against. All the women in his life, including Su Qingxue, were experts at it.

Qin Mengyao unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks on the half-kneeling Ye Fan. He was in a truly miserable state.

At that moment, Qin Yanran, who had just returned from the courtyard with breakfast and snacks, was startled by the scene. She never expected to see her man getting beaten up, and by her own sister of all people.

She immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Stop!"

"Mengyao, what is going on here?" Qin Yanran asked, pulling Ye Fan to his feet. She couldn’t understand why Ye Fan seemed so weak. He had defeated the Demon Emperor, so how could he not handle her sister? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

If Ye Fan knew what she was thinking, he would surely have wept and cried out, "What was I supposed to do? Your sister used such a dirty trick on me! I was helpless!"

"What’s the meaning of this? Mengyao, how can you be so thoughtless? He’s your brother-in-law!" Qin Yanran rebuked.

Qin Mengyao declared, "Sister, he’s a complete scoundrel!"

"Shut up!" Qin Yanran would never believe Ye Fan was a scoundrel. Even if he were, he was her man. If she herself was reluctant to discipline him, what right did Qin Mengyao have?

"Just ask him yourself!" Qin Mengyao retorted.

Ye Fan could only say helplessly, "I just mistook her for you, that’s all. It was a small misunderstanding, an honest mistake!"

"Hmph! You took advantage of me, and you have the nerve to call it an honest mistake!" Qin Mengyao was on the verge of tears.

"Alright, alright, since it was a misunderstanding, let’s just put it behind us," Qin Yanran intervened.

"Hmph! What a shameless couple!" With that, Qin Mengyao stormed off.

"You!" Qin Yanran felt deeply humiliated. Her sister had no filter, and now she had truly embarrassed them. Thankfully, Ye Fan didn’t tease her about it.

Ye Fan then said to her, "Uh, darling, I really didn’t do it on purpose. How come you never told me you had a sister?"

"She got back from abroad late last night. The room across the hall is hers. It’s my fault; I should have told you this morning."

"It’s fine," Ye Fan reassured her. "It’s all in the past."

The sun was just rising as the two of them enjoyed their tea and snacks. It was the first time the light had seemed so brilliant since the great reshuffling. Looking up at the dazzling sun, Ye Fan felt a sense of peace.

「That afternoon」

When Qin Mengyao learned that Ye Fan was the King of Heaven, she was stunned. She had never imagined her brother-in-law was so incredible. He had single-handedly reshuffled the Four Great Millennial Families and the Eight Ancient Clans of Shangjing. It was precisely because of her family’s previous weakness that Qin Mengyao had gone abroad; she wanted to secure control over her own marriage. She had only returned after hearing about the recent changes, never imagining that the King of Heaven she idolized was her very own brother-in-law!

As the Pride and Joy of a super clan, Qin Mengyao had naturally heard the legends of the eight Kings, and the one she admired most was the King of Heaven. He was known as the strongest, and was said to be a devastatingly handsome and suave man. She’d met him this morning, and he was definitely handsome. As for being the strongest... she wasn’t so sure. After all, she had taken him down with a single kick.

It was an indelible stain on Ye Fan’s reputation.

While Qin Yanran was inside changing, Ye Fan paced around the courtyard. They were planning to go shopping later.

Suddenly, Qin Mengyao appeared before him, calling out gleefully, "Brother-in-law!"

Ye Fan instinctively threw up a defensive gesture. This little witch was trouble, and he knew that staying on guard around her was the only sensible choice.

"Brother-in-law, don’t be afraid of me. I’m not going to eat you!" she said.

You won’t eat me, but you’ll definitely kick me, Ye Fan thought.

"It’s not that I’m afraid of you," he said. "It’s an instinctive reaction, you understand? And about this morning, I really didn’t mean it."

"It’s fine, I forgive you. Brother-in-law, are you really the King of Heaven?" she asked.

Ye Fan replied, "The one and only. I am the King of Heaven."

"Really? That’s fantastic! You know, brother-in-law, you’re my biggest idol," Qin Mengyao said with delight.

Ye Fan said calmly, "No need to idolize me. I’m merely a legend."

It had to be said, his calm words were almost nauseatingly smug.

Qin Mengyao then asked, "Brother-in-law, can you give me an autograph? Can you teach me kung fu?"

"Sure, no problem," Ye Fan responded. "I’ll teach you when I have some time."

He figured it was normal for a girl her age to be a little star-struck.

However, Qin Mengyao added, "Brother-in-law, I want to get your signature tattooed on me!"

Ye Fan felt a headache coming on. She wants my signature tattooed on her body? If she ever gets married in the future, I’d undoubtedly be blamed for it.

Just as he was about to dissuade her, Qin Mengyao suddenly jumped on him, saying gleefully, "Brother-in-law, I can’t believe you’re the man I admire most! I’m so jealous of my sister!"

Ye Fan said quickly, "Jealousy is one thing, but can you please get off me first?"

"I don’t want to!"

Qin Mengyao planted a kiss on his cheek, giving Ye Fan another headache. Are all women this aggressive? Sure, I’m handsome, but does that mean I’m supposed to be bullied?

Just as Qin Yanran emerged from her room in a new dress, she saw the intimate scene between them. She panicked as a sense of crisis washed over her.

She knew that if this continued, trouble was inevitable. Although she trusted Ye Fan wouldn’t do anything inappropriate, she couldn’t be sure her sister wouldn’t. Her sister especially loved to defy her, which made the sense of crisis all the more palpable.

She cleared her throat pointedly. Both Qin Mengyao and Ye Fan turned their heads toward her.

This is bad. There’s no explaining this away, he thought.

He quickly set Qin Mengyao down. To make matters worse, Qin Mengyao stole another kiss as she got off. If Ye Fan hadn’t clenched his jaw shut, it would have been more than just a peck on the cheek.

Qin Yanran was instantly furious.

She strode forward and said, "He is your brother-in-law. You’d better not mess around!"

"Hmph! So what if he’s my brother-in-law? It’s not like you’ve never read stories like this before, have you, Sister?"

Ye Fan and Qin Yanran were left speechless. They could only think that a person shouldn’t be so brazen.

Qin Yanran shot her sister a dirty look. The two had been at each other’s throats since childhood. Their rivalry was just as intense as the one between Su Qingxue and Fang Nan.

Without another word, Qin Yanran grabbed Ye Fan’s arm and started to leave.

"Brother-in-law!" Qin Mengyao called out in a soft, sweet voice.

A shiver ran down Ye Fan’s spine. He quickly said, "Mengyao, don’t call me so intimately. People might get the wrong idea."

"Hmph! The wrong idea? Let them! Surely you can read between the lines by now, Brother-in-law?" Qin Mengyao said arrogantly.

Qin Yanran reminded her, "Mengyao, today is supposed to be our day. Why are you tagging along?"

"It’s a public road, not your private property. You can’t tell me what to do!" Qin Mengyao retorted instantly.

Qin Yanran was at her wit’s end with her sister, while Ye Fan could only look at his new sister-in-law, his headache growing.

What left Ye Fan even more speechless was that Qin Mengyao was sometimes more flirtatious with him than Qin Yanran was.
