I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"I...I...I've always wanted to meet you. Can I call you Sister Zimo?"

You seem to be older than me...

Yan Ziming inwardly grumbled, but didn't say anything that would spoil the mood. Instead, he offered a compromise: "Just call me Ziming, but I still hope you can call me Ziqing during the Civilization Cup."

"Okay, Ziqing, may I ask you a few questions?"

Zhi Ruo asked excitedly, while You Lan playfully added fuel to the fire: "Faced with a fan's sincere request, you shouldn't want to disappoint her, right?"

"Of course, responding to fans' expectations is an idol's duty!" Yan Ziming said boldly.

It's just answering a few questions from fans, nothing more than bra size or something else, it's fine to tell her!

"What fruits does Ziqing like to eat?"

"pitaya."

When do you like to go to sleep?

"The concept of sleep doesn't exist for cultivators!"

"Where do you live?"

"Jiangning Military Administrative Region".

Do you prefer girls or boys?

"Girls."

The answer was given almost instantly without hesitation, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Huh? What did she just ask me? Did she ask if I liked girls? Was it just my imagination?

Yan Ziming's mind went blank for a moment as he stared at the two men with their sly smiles, his gaze glazed over, and he could barely speak.

"No, no, it's just a subjective liking, not the kind of love. After all, think about it, a greasy middle-aged man in his forties would definitely choose the girl over an innocent and cute girl...!"

This comparison is really...unwittingly putting down the image of the greasy middle-aged man.

"Huh—Zhiruo didn't seem to ask you if it was 'like' in the romantic sense, did she?" Youlan seized on Yan Zimo's flaw like a little devil.

"No, that was just..."

Youlan licked her lips, still wanting to say something, but Zhiruo tugged at Youlan's sleeve:

"Alright, stop teasing her. Just get the answer you want."

"Tch, you're always siding with outsiders. I wonder who helped you get that information so easily."

With Youlan ceasing her fierce attack, Yan Ziming had time to gather his thoughts and finally calmed down a bit. A look of defeat crossed his face, and he said with grief and indignation, "You actually schemed against me! Where has the trust between people gone?!"

Thinking that Yan Ziming was angry, Zhiruo quickly said, "We didn't mean any harm, we just wanted to know your sexual orientation, Ziqing, we really didn't mean anything else!"

"No way, an eye for an eye! I'll ask you a question too, and you'd better tell me the truth!" Yan Ziming said fiercely.

"Just tell me, I'll answer everything I know!" Zhiruo patted her chest, her righteous demeanor making Youlan want to laugh.

The fish has taken the bait.

Yan Ziming revealed a triumphant smile and asked, "You and Youlan are... lovers?"

"Yes, that's right." "Yes, that's correct."

"...That was a very straightforward answer."

"After all, it's not something that needs to be hidden."

Have you two lost your memories or something? You were hiding it from me just now, and now you've completely changed your tune!

"Phew—" Yan Ziming took a deep breath to calm himself down and then spoke about what he was most worried about.

"Is your current accommodation safe? For your safety, why don't you stay at the embassy? Sister Mo Sheng is there, so you don't need to worry about your safety."

"We're strong enough to guarantee our own safety," Youlan said confidently, and even Zhiruo thought so.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ziming couldn't help but want to laugh.

She was still too young and hadn't experienced the cruelty of the world. Even someone as strong as her almost died from a broken heart a few days ago, let alone these two weak young girls.

"Hehe... Although I understand that you guys are quite strong, and it's good to be confident in your abilities, but..."

Yan Ziming first praised them.

"The person who just emerged from the kettle has the strength of a seventh-level expert, and he has a very ferocious high-level beast-transformation ability user as his companion. It's unclear whether he has any other helpers. Under these circumstances, do you still think you can protect yourselves?"

"..."

Zhi Ruoyoulan's expression became much more solemn. This was quite a bombshell. She hadn't expected that the blond man, whom she hadn't even dared to fight just now, was actually a seventh-level cultivator.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, they really couldn't escape unscathed.

"Are you also staying at the embassy?"

Zhiruo looked at her with her big, sparkling eyes.

"No, I'm staying at the Vena Hotel. There's a top expert there, so I don't need to worry about safety."

“Then we’ll live with you!” Youlan said decisively, as if that was her decision.

Yan Zimo felt ashamed.

If I keep bringing new girls back, I'll inevitably get the cold shoulder from Mu Mu and the others again.

Especially considering her relationship with Mu Mu and Ye Qianxue, it's no wonder they're in a bad mood. Moreover, she'll expose her relationship with Ye Qianxue and the others to Zhi Ruo Youlan.

To avoid this situation, Yan Ziming suggested, "Why don't you stay downstairs from me? That way, you can look after each other."

"Oh ho~~" Youlan's mischievous nature resurfaced. "What good thing of yours will it be if you don't let us stay in your room?"

Good heavens, this guy is so clingy!

When Zhiruo is with her, she must be the one on the bottom, right? Right?!

"Speaking of which, there's one more crucial thing we haven't asked yet... Are you single?"

Now, Yan Ziming can finally boast to outsiders, "I have a girlfriend."

"And... there are two of them!" Yan Ziming added in his mind.

"So, he wanted to do something intimate with his girlfriend and was afraid we'd disturb him, huh?"

"It's good to know."

Yan Ziming coughed lightly. She would do anything to keep these two away from living with her.

Just then, Yan Ziming's phone rang.

"Big sister, it's your turn to compete. Where are you? Qianxue will come pick you up."

"Yes, I'm at XX restaurant."

"Okay!"

No sooner had Ye Qianxue finished speaking than a beautiful figure appeared in front of Yan Ziming. It was Ye Qianxue who had been teleported through the spatial rift.

"Let's go, big sister." Ye Qianxue wasn't too surprised to see Zhiruo and Youlan. She nodded to them and then took Yan Ziming's hand and hurried towards the gymnasium.

"Did you see that?"

"I see it, I see it! They're even using the term 'Big Sister' now. They're definitely having an affair!"

The truth that Yan Ziming wanted to hide was so easily exposed by these two.

Chapter Sixty-One: Illusion or Reality?

"Hey, how did the talk go, Big Sister?"

As soon as they returned to the gymnasium, Ye Qianxue asked him a question.

Knowing that his younger sister was about to become jealous again, Yan Ziming affectionately pinched her cheek:

"Well... I didn't achieve my goal, but I did meet my expectations. At least I can ensure they won't be lured away by those foreigners. Next up is my sister's competition. Cheer me on!"

"Ok!"

Ye Qianxue looked at Yan Ziming with admiration in her eyes. She believed that her older sister would definitely overcome all obstacles and defeat all enemies!

Where is Mo Xin?

"They're on stage now." Ye Qianxue pointed to the arena in the center. Yan Ziming looked around and frowned.

"Why are there more arenas where matches are being held simultaneously?"

"I heard that the organizers thought the progress was too slow, so they increased it to ten battles per batch. That's why it's my sister's turn so soon."

Yan Ziming really wanted to complain: Aren't you afraid of upsetting the contestants by making so many changes?

However, there's no way to change the decisions of a superpower, not even if it's hundreds or thousands of voices.

Reluctantly, Yan Ziming went up on stage. Just as he was about to greet Mo Xin, he heard a chorus of boos from the audience.

Upon closer listening, it was all vulgar and offensive language, including terms like "pervert" and "molestation of a girl," which made Yan Ziming's lips twitch uncontrollably.

"Zi Mo, your fame is now the highest among our Four Heavenly Kings," Mo Xin chuckled.

"Don't play word games with me."
