Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

"Trial participant, your merits have been fulfilled. Your request is granted, and a passage between the two realms may be opened for three days, allowing your bonds to reunite. The mark will serve as the guide; simply open it with your thoughts."

With a firm resolve, Qin Chuan smiled slightly.

Three days is enough.

The carriage came to a steady stop in front of the mansion.

The mansion was brightly lit, and his many female confidantes were already waiting in the hall.

They sat or stood, each with a different temperament, yet all could not hide a hint of anticipation.

Clearly, Qin Chuan's actions and unusual demeanor in the palace today gave them a premonition.

"came back?"

Yan Fei leaned lazily against the soft couch, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"Hmm." Qin Chuan stepped into the hall, his gaze sweeping over the stunningly beautiful faces, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible emotion and gentleness, "There's something I need to tell you."

He recounted in detail the permission granted by the "God of Chinese Comics" and the upcoming opening of the passage to the world of Bad Guys.

The hall fell silent instantly, followed by low gasps and whispers.

"Another world?"

Yan Fei's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she recalled the empress who had once impersonated Qin Chuan.

"The world of Bad Guys... is it the world with Sister Zhiwu?"

Xiaomeng also remembered Yelü Zhiwu, who had comforted her back then.

"Finally, I can see Sister Chi Meng again!"

Nongyu was most looking forward to it; she had always wanted to play a duet with Chimeng again.

Chi Lian chuckled lightly: "It seems someone is going to have a headache figuring out how to balance the 'family members' of the two worlds."

Yan Lingji giggled and said, "Oh my, this is going to be lively. I wonder if the ladies over there are spicy enough?"

The women reacted differently, but they all shared a sense of anticipation and novelty.

Looking at them, Qin Chuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "The passage will open tomorrow and will last for three days. Everyone, get a good rest tonight and recharge your energy."

As night deepened, everyone dispersed.

Qin Chuan returned to his main courtyard bedroom, pushed open the door, and a warm, humid mist mixed with a faint fragrance of orchids wafted towards him.

Passing around the screen, one could see a huge bathtub filled with steam, and flower petals floating on the surface of the water.

Beside the pool, a cool and ethereal figure stood, draped only in a thin, gossamer-like veil, her graceful curves appearing and disappearing in the mist—it was Xiaomeng.

"came back?"

Xiaomeng turned around, water droplets sliding down her smooth skin. Her eyes, like autumn water, looked directly at Qin Chuan, without the slightest shyness, only a kind of openness and decisiveness that was almost like the natural way of the Tao.

"The water is ready. However, I don't want to be your 'sister' tonight."

She approached step by step, her veil slipping off her shoulders, her voice clear and direct, "I want to be your woman. Tonight."

Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback. Looking at the Taoist sect leader in front of her, whose temperament was ethereal yet exuded an undeniable strength, the determination in her eyes was clearly visible.

He did not answer immediately, but his gaze passed over Xiaomeng and landed on the large bed in the inner room.

The brocade quilt appeared to be flat, but with his perception, how could he not detect the extremely subtle fluctuations in breathing?

A playful smile curved his lips as he spoke loudly towards the bed:

"Ayan, what about you? Hiding under the covers, are you thinking the same thing as Xiaomeng?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the seemingly smooth brocade quilt suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, the corner of the blanket was pulled back, and a figure sat up stiffly; it was Tian Yan.

She wore a fine silk nightgown, her cheeks flushed like the sunset, her eyes filled with the shyness of having her secret exposed, but even more so with a resolute determination to go all out.

She forced herself to remain calm and said:

"...So what if it is? I...I also think it's time. We can't...we can't let certain people monopolize the limelight, can we?"

She glanced at Xiaomeng meaningfully.

Xiaomeng then realized that her biggest rival, who was usually full of clever ideas and deep thoughts, actually had the exact same idea as her and took action at almost the same time and place!

Anger at being "robbed" and a strong competitive spirit instantly surged into my heart.

"Tian Yan?!" Xiao Meng's eyebrows shot up, her aura tightened, and even the moisture around her seemed to turn colder. "How dare you...!"

"Why don't you dare?"

Tian Yan stood up, and the composure and wisdom of a peasant girl like Guan Zhong seemed to have returned to her, although her cheeks were still flushed.

"It's all about individual ability. Does Master Xiaomeng think that only you could come up with this idea?"

The atmosphere inside the bedchamber instantly became subtle and tense, as if two invisible forces were colliding fiercely in the air, causing the water vapor to churn.

One is as aloof as an immortal, the other is as wise and resourceful as a leopard; yet, for the same man, they are now fighting like leopards vying for territory.

Qin Chuan looked at the two stunning beauties standing before him, locked in a tense standoff, and then at the steaming bathtub, and helplessly rubbed his temples.

This situation is even more difficult than commanding a thousand troops.

"Sigh..." He sighed softly, but a smile appeared on his face. "It seems that for the sake of the 'harmony and peace' of the manor in the future, I will have to do my best tonight to 'settle' the two of you."

Before he finished speaking, he moved slightly, and a gentle yet powerful force instantly enveloped Xiaomeng and Tianyan.

The two exclaimed in surprise, feeling an irresistible suction force, and the next moment, they fell into the warm and comfortable bath, splashing water everywhere.

"You..." Xiaomeng's exclamation was drowned out by the warm water.

"Ugh..." Tian Yan was caught off guard and almost choked on the water.

The red candles flickered, the water rippled, and all the confrontations eventually turned into whispers and breaths of tender intimacy filling the room.

As the women arrived one after another at the flower hall for breakfast, they witnessed an extremely "harmonious" scene.

Xiaomeng and Tianyan, who are usually at odds and whose every meeting is filled with tension, are now sitting together intimately.

Xiaomeng even went so far as to serve Tianyan a bowl of congee, and Tianyan smiled and pushed a plate of delicate pastries in front of her to Xiaomeng's side.

The two occasionally exchanged a few words in hushed tones, their eyes meeting without a trace of hostility, instead carrying an unspoken understanding and a touch of shyness. They addressed each other as "sister" with utmost naturalness and affection, as if they were truly two sisters with a deep bond.

This earth-shattering change made everything clear to the women instantly.

Zi Nu smiled, her eyes sparkling, and spoke first: "It seems the wind and rain stopped last night, and the sky is clear and bright?"

Nongyu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

A mischievous smile appeared on the snow woman's usually aloof face.

Chi Lian was even more direct, speaking in a sweet voice to Xiao Meng and Tian Yan:

"Congratulations to my two sisters! You've finally achieved your dream and tied the knot!"

Yan Fei and Duanmu Rong also cast kind glances their way.

Xiaomeng and Tianyan blushed from the teasing, but this time they didn't glare at each other. Instead, they lowered their heads shyly, tacitly accepting everyone's guess.

Everyone's attention immediately fell on Xiao Yu and Xiao Li, the only two people in the room who had not yet made any substantial progress with Qin Chuan.

Xiao Yu felt the gaze and her pretty face immediately turned red. Like a frightened deer, she lowered her head and nervously twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers.

Although Xiao Li's eyes were still clear, her fair cheeks were tinged with a light pink. The little Pixiu on her shoulder seemed to sense its owner's shyness and rubbed its furry head against her neck.

"Oh dear, it seems that only our little princess of Mount Shu and the goddess's messenger are left."

Yan Lingji deliberately dragged out her words, her fiery gaze sweeping over the two of them.

"Little Yu, Little Li, you'd better hurry up!"

Zi Nu smiled and encouraged them, her eyes filled with a mix of knowing humor and sincere blessings.

Amid the girls' good-natured teasing and encouragement, Xiao Yu lowered her head even further, and Xiao Li also turned her face slightly to the side, but the blush on her ears spread outwards.

Qin Chuan, observing the warm yet somewhat chaotic scene, laughed heartily, breaking the ambiguous and slightly awkward atmosphere:

"Alright, alright, stop teasing them. It's time to get down to business!"

He walked to the center of the courtyard, his mind sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness, communicating with that mysterious mark.

The next moment, he pointed his fingers like a sword and gently slashed at the void in front of him!

"Om-!"

An indescribable, enormous gate of light, seemingly composed of countless flowing starlight points and mysterious runes, appeared out of thin air in the courtyard!

Ripples spread across the edge of the portal, blurring the view inside. Yet, it exuded a unique atmosphere, distinct from the world of Qin's Moon, a blend of江湖草莽 (jianghu caoman, meaning the world of martial arts heroes) and dynastic decline—the very essence of the world of Bad Guys!

The light gate stabilized, and the passage officially opened!

In the courtyard, the enormous light gate, composed of starlight and mysterious runes, stood silently, emanating a strange fluctuation that led to another world.

Qin Chuan stood in front of the door, smiling as he looked at the group of women behind him, each with their own unique temperament.

Consort Yan is elegant and noble, Yan Lingji is passionate and fiery, Zi Nu is charming and graceful, Nong Yu is gentle and lovely, Xue Nu is as aloof as the moon, Duanmu Rong is a benevolent healer, and Chi Lian is playful and cute...

Xiaomeng and Tianyan stood side by side, their brows still bearing the shyness and satisfaction of receiving the favor of the previous night. Xiaoli and Xiaoli looked at the gate with some curiosity and expectation, while the little Pixiu jumped excitedly in front of the gate, calling out "woo mi woo mi".

"Are you ready?"

Qin Chuan laughed loudly, extending his hand to guide everyone into this historic passage.

Just then, a cool breeze swept through the courtyard, accompanied by a few falling cherry blossoms.

A clear, slightly hurried voice came through.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw three figures hurriedly passing through the moon gate and appearing in the courtyard.

Leading the group was the Moon Goddess, dressed in a deep blue robe adorned with stars and moon, exuding a mysterious and noble aura.

Behind her followed the alluring Da Siming, dressed in red, and the taciturn Shao Siming, dressed in flowing purple, whose eyes betrayed a deep emotion.

The Moon Goddess's gaze immediately swept past everyone and landed on Yan Fei, who was at the very front, whose temperament subtly rivaled hers, and who had once been her sister.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and a rare, complex yet relieved emotion appeared on her usually cold and aloof face.

She quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly to Yan Fei, and called out in a clear and sincere voice:

This single word, "sister," seemed to contain a thousand unspoken words, revealing the past rivalry and secret competition, and also declaring that the sisterly bond, twisted by the struggle for the same man's favor, had finally returned to its original state.
