Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

"They constantly stirred up my emotions, then watched me lose my temper and go berserk like I was watching a performance!"

"That's really awful!"

"Who knows... What is General Esdeath saying? I can't understand a word she's saying~"

Xia Yan, of course, would not admit it directly.

Although he said he didn't know, the smile on his lips clearly told Esdeath that that was exactly what he thought.

However, he did this because it was all part of the plan.

By teasing Esdeath in a way that is tailored to her personality.

After leaving a deep enough impression on the other party, it can also satisfy Xia Yan's perverse sense of humor.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

You can enjoy the other person's exasperated state for your own amusement, and also successfully increase Esdeath's affection for you.

Although it may be a negative number.

However, the positive and negative can sometimes switch back and forth, so the most important thing is to leave a deep impression.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xia Yan will soon be recruited by Esdeath, and through a series of daily life events, she will gradually develop a liking for him, eventually making him completely obedient to her.

Then, with Esdeath's help, they directly launched a rebellion.

They marched to the capital, seized his throne, made Xia Yan emperor, Esdeath the general, and had Melard help manage and maintain the stability of the harem.

Of course, since we said there would be no unexpected events, it means that something unexpected is about to happen.

just,

An accident is something unexpected, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing.

As Esdeath carefully examined Natsuhiko's face, she seemed to discover something and revealed an expression of interest.

Like a spoiled brat harassing a respectable woman, he suddenly reached out and lifted Xia Yan's chin.

"What are you doing?"

Xia Yan, who had been observing Esdeath's mind and body simultaneously, was naturally not going to be fooled by her simple actions.

He took two steps back, dodging Esdeath, while a somewhat surprised expression appeared on his face.

However, what surprised him was not Esdeath's behavior, but what she was thinking.

Did I go a little too far with my flirting?

Chapter 219 The more burdens one carries, the further one is from purity.

According to the plan, this is just the stage of making an impression on Esdeath.

It's not time to officially start the strategy yet.

However, because Esdeath was so cooperative in constantly staring at Natsuhiko, Natsuhiko was able to easily read her mind.

This led Xia Yan to discover a problem.

It seems I was a little too successful at flirting?

Or rather, the strength he displayed satisfied Esdeath's requirements.

As a result, Esdeath not only didn't have any negative impression of herself, but also thought that her terrible personality was a perfect match for her.

Damn it, why isn't this woman playing by the rules?

Where's the strategist? What should we do? Let's think of a solution!

What? I'm the strategist myself?

That's okay...

Esdeath, of course, had no idea what Xia Yan was thinking.

After all, she made eye contact with Xia Yan because she felt that she was being seen through because his eyes were too sharp, and she felt that she could not admit defeat.

The reason she made this flirtatious gesture was because she was too excited while hitting him and didn't notice.

Only now that she stopped did she realize that Xia Yan's appearance was surprisingly to her liking.

Where is your hometown?

"what?"

"Answer my question; that's a prerequisite for becoming my subordinate!"

No, you're clearly abusing your power for personal gain, and you're after my beauty...

Although he thought this in his heart, Xia Yan would naturally not say it out loud.

After all, that was his original purpose.

"It's just a small, unknown village on the border; you wouldn't know it even if I told you."

"It must be said that this is a military regulation."

"Its name is Kahn Village, located on the northwestern border of the empire."

Xia Yan shrugged and said indifferently.

Esdeath's eyes lit up a little after hearing Xia Yan's words.

Her gaze toward Xia Yan became even more ardent, a ardent fervor completely different from her previous fanaticism, even giving Xia Yan the illusion that he was being taken advantage of.

Fortunately, he had X-ray vision enabled the whole time, so Esdeath didn't get the upper hand.

Esdeath, of course, had no idea what Xia Yan was thinking. She was currently carefully observing Xia Yan while nodding and muttering to herself.

"He is good-looking and, like me, grew up not in the capital but in a border region."

"To be able to fight me to this extent, and to clearly not even use his full strength, he's good enough to become a general of the empire even without training..."

"In that case, their strength and talent are also qualified."

"He was able to maintain his composure even when facing me, and he didn't waver at all even when a blade was pressed against his neck. His courage and spirit are also commendable."

"She looks a few years older than me, but that's not unacceptable..."

"No! Maybe he just looks older than me. If he shaved off his beard, he would look about ten years younger."

"Hey, Esdeath, what are you saying?"

Hearing Esdeath's oblivious mutterings, Xia Yan's lips twitched slightly.

He naturally knew what Esdeath was talking about; these were all the requirements she had set for her romantic partner.

Clearly, after being assessed on both looks and strength, Esdeath, the Ice Witch, has developed a subtle fondness for Xia Yan and is currently comparing him to the standards she has set for herself.

Moreover, she seems to have a tendency to change her criteria for choosing a partner for him.

"Don't make a sound!"

Esdeath looked up somewhat annoyed after being interrupted from her thoughts.

However, seeing Xia Yan's handsome face seemed to improve her mood considerably.

"Oh right, smile, smile..."

She seemed to have suddenly thought of something, muttered a couple of sentences, and then looked intently at Xia Yan.

"Xia Yan, smile."

"I reject."

Xia Yan said righteously.

Although he planned to win Esdeath's heart, he did need to prioritize his own interests, since he knew Esdeath's personality very well.

If you can't take the lead, the other party might have to put a dog leash on you.

"I'll promote you."

"You're really good at reading people!"

It wasn't that Xia Yan was tempted by Esdeath's so-called promotion; after all, if you can't be the emperor, being a high-ranking official is useless.

However, since the goal is to win over Esdeath, while one cannot be too compliant, one also cannot always go against her.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan gave a standard smile that showed eight teeth.

However, coupled with his dead fish-like eyes, he looked extremely perfunctory.

Esdeath felt a wave of dizziness when she saw his perfunctory smile.

Even with his deadpan expression, Xia Yan's good looks only add a touch of languid charm and don't make him look ugly.

However, it was far from the pure smile she envisioned.

Or rather, Xia Yan's smile completely contradicts the word "pure".

One can see the bitterness of life, the coldness of human relationships, the sycophancy, and the despicable shamelessness in his smile...

However, it has little to do with the word "pure".

"Can't you smile any more innocently!?"

Esdeath said with some hesitation.

She was very satisfied with Xia Yan's appearance, background, abilities, and personality. Although she didn't know Xia Yan's exact age, that was negligible. However, Xia Yan's smile was far from what she had expected.

Rather, it was to the point that even she wasn't confident she could reform them.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? It's like a blind date. Please, have mercy on me..."

Xia Yan yawned as he picked at his ear.

He looked unusually lazy and lacked any motivation, like a young adult version of MADAO.

He was completely different from the relaxed and carefree demeanor of a powerful warrior he had displayed during the previous battle.

"If you want to see pure smiles, go find those children from wealthy and well-off families, or those naive young men who are new to the world and know nothing..."

How can a mature man remain pure?

"The more burdens a person carries, the more they know, the less pure they become..."
