Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Lin Zhu shook his head, "I'm not unhappy, it just feels a bit strange. What's wrong with a grown man like me being on a beauty list!"

"A grown man?" Dongfang Bai looked Lin Zhu up and down and shook his head. "You're just a little boy right now."

"Want some drinks?" Dongfang Bai handed the wine in his hand to Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu didn't answer. "You know I don't drink."

“Alright, I’ll drink it myself.” Dongfang Bai waved his sleeve, swept the snow off a rock, and sat down with Lin Zhu to watch the sunset.

Then, quite abruptly, he asked, "Did you do something to Yilin before?"

"Huh?" Lin Zhu didn't react.

Dongfang Bai looked into his eyes for a long while before saying, "After she returned to the ancient tomb, she sometimes acted a little strange, laughing to herself and then blushing for some reason. I think no one but you would make her act like that."

Lin Zhu felt a little guilty. He had taken advantage of the girl, and now that her parents were coming, his eyes darted around.

Dongfang Bai immediately realized, "It seems so."

The next moment, he suddenly struck, using his fingers as a sword to stab at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu instinctively defended, using her hand as a knife to slash at the side of Dongfang Bai's sword finger. She then flipped and pressed down, blocking the sword strike.

Dongfang Bai threw the wine bottle with his left hand and then attacked Lin Zhu's lower body with another finger.

He reached out and grabbed Dongfang Bai's wrist, then flipped it over and pinned Dongfang Bai's hand down.

The two of them were pressed tightly together.

Lin Zhu looked down from above.

Dongfang Bai looked up at him from below.

The two locked eyes.

Dongfang Bai sneered, "Dare to do it but not dare to admit it?"

"I didn't deny it!"

Lin Zhu's eyes flickered again.

"So what are you planning to do?"

Dongfang Bai didn't struggle and just let Lin Zhu hold him.

Lin Zhu countered, "What do you think? This is how we are now."

Dongfang Bai was still somewhat flustered, and stopped staring intently at Lin Zhu. "How are we?"

"It's a chat group!" Lin Zhu reminded him.

Dongfang Bai was speechless. So that's what they were talking about. She thought it referred to their current position.

Chapter 375 Brainstorming

She was still a little disappointed, but as she looked at Lin Zhu, she couldn't help but be captivated by him and lost her composure, her eyes momentarily glazed over.

Lin Zhu noticed this and moved her head closer to Dongfang Bai.

Dongfang Bai felt a pang of panic and instinctively closed his eyes.

Lin Zhu remembered someone saying that when a girl closes her eyes, it means she wants you to kiss her.

Then he kissed her.

Dongfang Bai felt his heart pounding erratically. After a moment of distraction, he somehow mustered the strength to push Lin Zhu away.

Then, a red shadow flashed and disappeared in front of Lin Zhu.

She originally wanted to find Lin Zhu to give Yi Lin an explanation, but now she's gotten herself into trouble.

But I also felt a little secretly pleased. Why was that?

With Dongfang Bai's involvement, he no longer cared about the beauty rankings.

Especially after seeing that the top twenty on the beauty list were all group members, he did this kind of mental preparation for himself.

Being at the top of the beauty list is equivalent to having all the group members under his control.

Think a little excited.

He was fine, but Chu Liuxiang, far away in Jizhou, Dongqi, was not having such a good time.

When he goes out, he always feels that the way people look at him is a little strange.

It wasn't until I passed through a small alley that I overheard a conversation between several old women.

"Have you heard? That lady from the Chu family likes men."

"No way, I remember two years ago he was accompanied by three pretty girls, wasn't he?"

"You said it yourself, that was two years ago. Look at him now, are those three girls still with him? They've all run away."

"That's true. They must have known beforehand that he had homosexual tendencies, so they left. Those three girls are quite pitiful, liking such a man."

"But it was also lucky that they noticed it and left immediately."

Chu Liuxiang overheard this conversation, and his mind was reeling.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Tianji Tower, I will never let you get away with this."

Then came the question: how did the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion know about this, since only a few of them knew about it?

After thinking about it, he realized that it must have been because he and Lu Xiaofeng had argued too loudly in the capital, and others had overheard them.

"Lu Xiaofeng, I've come to find you."

In a brothel, Lu Xiaofeng was sipping wine with a girl in his arms when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, sensing that someone was coming to settle scores with him.

He trusted his intuition. When the girl stopped playing and drinking, she left a silver ingot on the table and said, "Good girl, I'll come again next time."

With a swift movement of his foot, he vanished without a trace.

The Heavenly Secrets List was released at this time to generate buzz before the world descended into chaos.

Aside from being interested in the Heavenly Ranking, people all over the world wanted to know what Lin Zhu, who ranked first on the Beauty Ranking, looked like, and how she could surpass Yao Yue of the Yihua Palace and Wu Xingyun, the terrestrial immortal, to become the most beautiful woman in the world.

It was a man.

It's hard to imagine.

Those who knew Lin Zhu smiled knowingly.

Deep within the imperial palace in the capital city.

The emperor, who had not yet fully abdicated, felt a slight itch on his head.

After finding out that Lin Zhu was a man, I felt like I was about to explode with anger.

So, his beloved concubine had been having an affair with a random man in the capital two years ago!

He was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it.

With the world in chaos, he needed to focus his energy on the big picture and put aside matters between men and women for now.

What can you do if you don't leave it?

Yan Fei left early and went to Lingjiu Palace. Could he possibly attack Lingjiu Palace?

We can only swallow our pride and bear it.

But he still hated it. While eating, he roared and slammed the rice in his bowl onto the table.

Seeing his father's inexplicable anger, Ji Zhao was startled. "Father, what's wrong?"

Looking at Ji Zhao's eyes, the emperor tried to calm himself down and shoveled the rice on the table into his bowl. "It's alright, eat your rice."

He can't very well say that he suspects he's been cheated on!

He then rejected the suggestion to have the eunuchs exchange their rice bowls.

Watching this scene, Ji Zhao thought to himself, 'Could it be that Father Emperor is trying to teach me a lesson, to make me appreciate the hard work involved in obtaining even a simple meal?'

Feeling that this was the case, he knelt down and said, "Your subject understands what Your Majesty means."

"Huh?" The emperor was dumbfounded. What did the crown prince mean by this?

"What do you understand?"

Ji Zhao said, "Father sets an example so that I will understand that food is hard-won and that even when I am angry, I should not waste food."

The emperor was taken aback, reflecting on his actions just now. He hadn't meant it that way!

It was all his son's imagination, but he thought it was a good one, so he nodded naturally, "The Crown Prince is indeed wise."

"Your son thanks Your Majesty for your guidance."

A father and son enjoyed their meal in perfect harmony.

Then the emperor supervised the crown prince in reviewing the memorials; this stage served as the transfer of supreme power.

After being interrupted by Ji Zhao, the emperor felt much better.

Although there is a tendency for the world to descend into chaos, it has not yet truly begun to descend into chaos.

At the very least, it will take a considerable amount of time for the Great Zhou to descend into chaos.

Meanwhile, in the Western Regions, Xiong Ba received a message from Wu Xingyun after the New Year, instructing him to go to Bright Peak and destroy the Ming Cult.

Xiong Ba had no objection to this.

Huo Shan and Yang Dingtian of the Ming Cult are gone, and the older generation has all died.

Because the deaths of Huo Shan and Yang Dingtian, the two leaders, were so sudden, a considerable internal struggle broke out on Bright Peak.

As the wife of the young sect leader, Lin Xian'er conspired with Fan Yao, who was lustful at first sight, to seize power.

She began to leverage her beauty to form alliances and schemes, aiming to elevate her own flesh and blood to power so that she could rule from behind the curtain.

The child was naturally Yang Dingtian's child, but the father died before the child was even born.

Yang Xiao disagreed and joined forces with the three Dharma Kings who protected the faith to oppose Fan Yao, and the internal strife has continued until now.

They didn't realize it was too late until the World Society's army was pressing in.

The defenses of Bright Peak were weakened by internal strife, and the Tianxia Society defeated them decisively.
