Collapse, Cross-dressing Guide Kiana, Then Chapter 7

Jingliu glanced at him, then looked up at the night sky.

The bright moon hung high, and the scenery was somewhat familiar, but it wasn't a place from the past.

She guessed that the scenery here should be similar to Bai Yan's hometown, as it belonged to his domain.

Although he hadn't completely mastered it yet.

She turned back, "Is it like your hometown here?"

"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can see a moon like this, but not at other times."

Jingliu looked up at the night sky again, and after a moment, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Bai Yan.

"Your aptitude isn't bad, but why are you so weak now?"

"Our side is facing some kind of disaster. With my potential, even if it were fully developed, I'd only be a slightly larger cannon fodder. So, I decided to keep a low profile and live a little longer."

"It turns out waiting was the right choice. Meeting my master means I didn't wait in vain."

"Then why do you want to become stronger now?"

"Because this place isn't under the watchful eyes of those gods."

Hearing this, Jingliu imagined ordinary fox people trying to evade the invasion of the Buli Ren and roughly understood Bai Yan's thoughts.

It was human nature, or rather, a pragmatic course of action.

Do as much as you can with the strength you have; the dreams of a hot-blooded youth are ultimately just dreams.

Dreams can't save your life.

Bai Heng...

"Your domain can suppress extraordinary powers. Are we only going to teach moves from now on?"

"Let me try."

Bai Yan immediately closed his eyes to sense.

As his consciousness descended, the surroundings began to change.

The calm, shallow water gradually swirled, forming a vortex centered on the two of them.

As the fluid changed, the clear water on the ground receded, leaving only a wet floor around the area where they stood.

"Whoa! Leave some water!"

Suddenly, Jingliu pressed her forehead, her body trembling slightly, as if something was about to happen.

Bai Yan quickly flowed some clear water back, leaving a thin film of water under their feet.

Jingliu let out a sigh of relief and lowered her hand.

"So it was these waters. But even when I let go earlier, I felt the situation had improved slightly..."

"I will work hard."

A smile appeared on Jingliu's lips, and she patted Bai Yan's head.

At this moment, Bai Yan felt a premonition in his heart; time was almost up.

"Is it time?" Jingliu asked.

"Yeah, I'll see you next time."

"Okay."

A hint of reluctance could be seen on Jingliu's face, but when time was up, it was up.

Bai Yan waved his hand, and soon the two of them disappeared from their spot.

The next moment, the bedroom scene reappeared before his eyes.

"Yeah!"

He clenched his fist tightly, feeling much better.

The women's clothing on his body was no longer so embarrassing, and the ridiculous mission was just a bit of training.

It was tempering the heart, yes, that's what it was!

With Jingliu as his master, even a piece of rotten wood like him could be carved into a flower!

Moreover, she herself said his aptitude wasn't bad.

To be even bolder, I, Bai Yan, have the potential to be a Sword Master!

Life was becoming more hopeful. Once my divine skills are mastered, I'll truly...

The door was suddenly knocked, forcing him to stop his fantasy.

Just as he was about to open the door, he remembered a problem: the room belonged to Bai Yan, and only a limited number of people knew about the mission of lurking in women's clothing.

Quickly change clothes!

He changed into male clothes and said loudly, "Just a moment!"

He hurriedly unbuttoned his clothes, kicked the skirt into the closet with both feet, took off his earrings and put them in a box, then ran to the washroom and frantically smeared makeup remover all over his face before turning on the faucet and washing it off vigorously.

Finally, Bai Yan tied his hair into a familiar ponytail as he rushed towards the door.

The Wolf of Schicksal Logistics Department has returned.

He pulled open the door, and a head of blonde hair met his eyes.

Their eyes met, and Bai Yan froze on the spot.

Volume 1: Chapter 9: The Atmosphere Between Them Seemed a Little Strange

Durandal's sudden visit caught Bai Yan off guard.

Bai Yan subtly glanced at her expression and detected a hint of awkwardness in her demeanor.

This was their first real reunion since graduating from the orphanage.

Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar face again, Durandal's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Tactics, combat comprehension, stream of consciousness... They used to have endless topics to discuss. Once, an aunt from the orphanage found them still wide-eyed and chatting at 2 AM instead of sleeping, and she scolded them harshly for a long time.

Durandal once thought, if things could stay this way forever, growing up together and becoming warriors, spending their lives fighting the Collapse until victory...

But he ran away.

Now, that boy was looking at her, his face devoid of any regret.

"Durandal... Madam?"

"..."

Seeing Durandal flinch back half a step from the address, Bai Yan could only feel amused.

Don't look for me if there's nothing. Don't look for me even if there is something. If you look for me once, I'll provoke you once.

This is to prevent you from getting the illusion that looking for me comes without a price, leading you to come around all the time.

Bai Yan did like Durandal's type, but beauty couldn't be eaten as food.

It certainly couldn't be used as a revival coin.

You go your way, I'll go mine.

You fight your high-stakes games, I'll be your little shrimp.

Everyone has their own destiny, and there will always be gaps between people.

However, Durandal's inner strength was immense; even a powerful mental attack couldn't drive her away.

Her expression extremely unnatural, she asked, "That... the new Bai Yan, is she related to you?"

"My sister."

"Where is she now?"

"I'm not sure. She might have plans with someone. I haven't known her for long and we're not very familiar.

"So I'm very sorry, Durandal Madam, I don't have any information on that."

Durandal clenched her fist.

"You... don't use that title."

"Alright, Bianca Madam."

"..."

Durandal was confused, feeling that something was off.

After a moment of thought, she became furious.

Shouldn't I be the one giving you the cold shoulder?!

Even though she had never given anyone the cold shoulder, nor would she.

Durandal grabbed Bai Yan by the collar, her anger erupting like a "whoosh."

"Bai Yan! Are you deliberately trying to anger me again?!"

"How so?"

"The title!"

Bai Yan said dismissively, "When working, you should use titles."

She pointed at Bai Yan's clothes, "Are you working like this too?!"

"I'm generally on standby 24/7, available at any time. The Intelligence Department isn't strict about attire."

As if he couldn't see Durandal's anger, he calmly spoke in a cryptic tone.

"My work is rather specialized, and I can't reveal too much. Those who understand will understand, and those who don't, well, I can't help them.

"Although you're the captain of the Immortal Blades, we belong to two different departments that don't oversee each other."

Durandal was at a loss, even starting to doubt if she was in the wrong. Her grip on his collar loosened involuntarily.

Bai Yan took a couple of steps back, maintaining a distance.

"It's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'm going to rest."

However, Durandal held the door shut.

She walked through the door as if it were nothing, casually found a pair of slippers, and put them on before entering the house.

The subconscious doubt remained unresolved. She felt she should come in and take a look, believing the clue should be related to Bai Yan.

A sister lost for many years? That was too abrupt, incomprehensible. Why was she found now, all of a sudden?

Hmm, perhaps she had just reached the age where she could join Schicksal? But what about the reason for joining? Wouldn't her brother Bai Yan worry about his sister being in danger?

Amidst various speculations, she had no clue, only following her intuition that she should come in.

Bai Yan was startled and quickly followed. But he couldn't stop her physically, only fret in vain.

"What kind of madness are you spewing?!"

Catching up inside, Durandal looked around with confusion but found no one.

Bai Yan felt a little relieved and took two steps forward, coming up beside Durandal.

"Excuse me, Lady Durandal, is there something urgent you need my cooperation with?"

As everyone knows, the same move cannot be used on a Saint twice.

So Durandal was already immune, but she didn't look pleased.

"...Is that all you have to say?"

"I'm very weak, so please stop talking about joining your squad or anything like that."

"I didn't say anything!"

"Just a preemptive jab."

Bai Yan noticed Durandal was still looking at him, so he added, "Your growth has been even more impressive than I anticipated, both in strength and other aspects."

"R-really? But I still feel like I'm not quite there yet..."
