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

Chu Liuxiang was momentarily captivated, but quickly concealed his expression. 'I truly went too far. Brother Lin, though possessing feminine features, has a distinctly masculine air. As for Miss Jie Jie, her demeanor, eyes, and personality clearly indicate she is a woman. No, I cannot let Rongrong be led astray.'

He decided to protect Su Rongrong and sacrifice himself, his gaze gradually hardening.

So what if it's bent? I'll straighten it for you.

The five of them found an inn in Hami City to stay in. Taking advantage of Zhang Jiejie's absence, Chu Liuxiang quickly said, "Rongrong, I feel that Miss Zhang's gaze towards you is a bit strange. Please pay more attention."

Reminded by Chu Liuxiang, Su Rongrong recalled the way Zhang Jiejie had looked at her.

I just found it funny.

She was also taken aback, thinking that Zhang Jiejie really liked her.

But then she realized that Zhang Jiejie probably wasn't too fond of Chu Liuxiang.

However, regardless of the circumstances, based on their long-standing friendship, she would still help Chu Liuxiang. She transmitted her voice, saying, "Brother Chu, Sister Zhang probably doesn't have feelings for you. However, I'll help you this once. Whether you succeed in winning her over depends on you, but this is a one-time opportunity."

Chu Liuxiang finally understood that his Rongrong sister was a shield.

However, he felt a little uneasy about Su Rongrong helping him pursue another woman, and he felt quite sorry for her.

'I…' He felt a deep sense of guilt towards Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er.

Su Rongrong smiled and continued telepathically, "I must thank Brother Chu for taking care of me all those years."

'More often than not, it's you who are taking care of me,' Chu Liuxiang said, his eyes reddening slightly. But some things really can't be forced.

Su Rongrong: "You'll always be our Brother Chu." She paused, "You have to work harder, otherwise, if Little Zhu meets Miss Zhang, you might not have any chance at all."

Speaking of Lin Zhu, Chu Liuxiang was startled. That's right, if he were to encounter Brother Lin, wouldn't he lose another beloved one?

Why do I say "again"?

Inside Lingjiu Palace, looking at the somewhat deserted Zizai Hall, Lin Zhu couldn't help but sneeze. "Who's talking about me in secret again?"

Zhu Jian stood beside him, serving him and brewing him a pot of tea. "Miss Rong'er, Miss Minmin, and Miss Wanwan are all possibilities!"

Lin Zhu smiled. "Zhu Jian, you're right, but why do I feel like it's you?"

He blinked twice and met the gaze of the bamboo sword.

Although he had seen this face many times, Zhu Jian rarely made eye contact with Lin Zhu, afraid of falling for her.

Not long ago, Lin Zhu practiced the Demon Blade. Although he had firmly controlled it, his eyes became even more profound, like an abyss.

Bamboo sword couldn't help but be captivated.

My legs went weak and I was about to collapse to the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Zhu quickly hugged him, somewhat bewildered.

"Bamboo Sword, what's wrong?"

Zhu Jian's pretty face flushed red. She rested her head on Lin Zhu's chest, not daring to look at him, and said with a hint of tears in her voice, "Young Master, please don't ever blink at other girls again. I can't bear it either."

Lin Zhu held the bamboo sword in one hand and the Daoist scripture in the other, resting his chin on her head. "I understand. Seeing your expression, I get it."

Zhu Jian was shy, but she really couldn't get up now, nor did she want to. She had a sweet smile on her face.

'Next time I return to the Chenxuan Realm, I'll try looking for Xiaobai.'

Lin Zhu suddenly had a whimsical thought: if even a fox spirit could be bewitched by him, then that would be truly extraordinary. 'But I've never practiced any bewitching arts!'

I wonder who in the group has seen the Heavenly Demon Technique.

Before she knew it, Zhu Jian fell asleep in Lin Zhu's arms.

Lin Zhu had no choice but to get up and pick him up.

"I'll do it."

Dongfang Bai appeared beside Lin Zhu at some point, took the bamboo sword from his arms, and said softly, "Continue reading."

Lin Zhu smiled and nodded.

As Dongfang Bai stepped out of the room, a dark figure approached him.

After a long while, she looked around with a flushed face and gently patted Lin Zhu's shoulder, "What if someone sees us?"

Lin Zhu winked at her, "It's nothing."

Dongfang Bai quickly avoided eye contact with him, "Don't be like this. If you really can't help it, Yanfei should be able to."

Lin Zhu whispered in her ear, "Sister, do you dare say that in front of Aunt Yan?"

How could Dongfang Bai dare? "If you don't want to talk to me, you'll just play tricks on me."

She still retained some rationality, but if Lin Zhu went any further, she probably would lose it all.

In any case, I absolutely cannot hand it over before reaching the Heavenly Realm.

In the courtyard, a figure in pink stood there blankly, her face flushed.

She wanted to leave, but couldn't move her feet.

With a sudden effort, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell to the ground.

Lin Zhu and Dongfang Bai turned their heads at the same time.

"Sister Yilin, are you alright?"

The two men stepped forward and helped him up, one on each side.

"I... I came to ask my younger brother about something I didn't understand."

She lowered her head, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Lin Zhu reached out and touched her head. Although she already had hair, it was still very round. He picked up the Taoist scripture from her hand and asked, "What don't you understand?"

The three of them then tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened.

Yilin gradually recovered and then said, "I'm the older sister, little brother, you can't touch my head anymore."

“Exactly, no respect for elders.” Dongfang Bai reached out and slapped Lin Zhu, then removed the hair ornament from his head. “This looks much better, Yilin, don’t you agree?”

Yi Lin smiled and nodded, looking at Lin Zhu and saying, "It would be nice if you were wearing a white dress."

“Yeah, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you wear white.” Dongfang Bai looked at Lin Zhu curiously.

Lin Zhu was speechless. She looked at Yi Lin and said, "When I wore white, the way you looked at me was a little strange. It was creepy."

"Hmm?" Dongfang Bai turned to look at Yilin.

Yilin's mouth moved slightly, "It really does look like it, just like the one I dreamed about."

Dongfang Bai suddenly remembered the first time Yilin met Lin Zhu and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Sigh! I'm tired."

He looked at Yilin with a resentful gaze, and then said, "Let me explain this sentence to you."

He decided that he must tutor Yilin properly in the next few days, as Buddhist thought is harmful.

Chapter 533 The Trail of the Fire Spirit Orb

In the Chenxuan Realm, Yan Lingji looked at the adorable Wu Xingyun with utter confusion, "Grandma, you..."

Wu Xingyun and her group have found the location of the Fire Spirit Orb, which is in the capital of a dynasty called the Northern Liang Dynasty in the desolate continent.

Because of Yan Lingji's constitution, they planned to have her complete the task of collecting the Fire Spirit Orb into the chat group, so they teleported her to their side.

Wu Xingyun had mentally prepared himself, saying, "It's okay, I'll have to face this sooner or later anyway, I can gradually adapt."

She said casually, "Stop with the 'you' stuff. I've just become young again."

Yan Lingji nodded blankly, "Oh, it's good that Grandma is alright."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyun was somewhat moved. Yan Lingji was the only one who cared about her well-being, even though she hadn't noticed because her strength was a bit low.

Xiao Bai reached out and lifted Yan Ling Ji's chin with her index finger. "This little sister is also very pretty. I like her."

"Are you Sister Xiaobai?" Yan Lingji looked at Xiaobai. "Are you really a fox spirit?"

“Yes!” Xiaobai said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

Yan Lingji was somewhat tempted, but when she thought of Lin Zhu, her eyes instantly cleared. "Hello, Sister Xiaobai. Greetings, Sister Qing'er."

Wu Xingyun coughed and said, "Since you've called them 'sister,' they can't call me 'grandma' anymore; they have to call me 'sister' too."

Let's level the playing field, starting with Yan Ling Ji.

Yan Lingji did not object. "Okay, Sister Xingyun, is it alright if I call you that?"

Wu Xingyun nodded seriously, secretly pleased.

Yan Lingji asked, "So from now on, it'll be like what I told my brother, where everyone addresses each other? For example, how should we address Rong'er and Aunt Feng Heng?"

"Well, let's each do our own thing." Wu Xingyun paused for a moment, then thought Lin Zhu's suggestion was good.

Although she wanted to equalize the seniority, she didn't want to be demoted by a generation for no reason.

Li Canghai looked at Wu Xingyun with a smile, and then said, "So it wasn't wrong of me to have Xiaozhu call me 'sister' back then!"

Wu Xingyun was internally frantic, but outwardly remained calm and collected. 'I'm not going to pay any attention to you. Ughhh~'

She thought back to how she had mocked Li Canghai back then; the boomerang of time had finally struck her.

The Northern Liang Dynasty was located in the northern part of the Central Plains of the desolate continent.

This region was divided into nine kingdoms, and was plagued by constant warfare.

After each great battle, countless wild monsters and ferocious beasts would emerge and devour the bodies of humans on the ground.

As a result, the people of this continent lived a life worse than that of dogs, and most of them were reduced to slavery.

A dog with a trace of ferocious beast blood would cost about five hundred taels of silver.

A commoner sold into slavery could fetch anywhere from ten or twenty taels of silver to three or five taels.

Some went even further, buying large numbers of slaves to feed their ferocious beasts.

Beasts that have eaten human flesh will be even more ferocious on the battlefield.

However, if the master cannot provide his beast with enough flesh and blood, the beast will turn against its master and devour him.

Because of the existence of meddlesome cultivators like those from Longhu Mountain, Shu Mountain, and Kunlun Mountain in the Central Plains, there are very few demons and humans raising slave beasts like this in the Desolate Continent, and they all do it in secret.
