Female Fiction Is Way Too Outrageous!

The cleanup after subduing the four major sects was finished in just one day.

After all, Chu Lu had no interest whatsoever in managing gangs. All he wanted was to improve his cultivation, so Qingfeng Town was still left in Tie Zhanxiong and the others' hands. As long as they submitted enough cultivation resources on time, Chu Lu would not interfere in anything else.

Tie Zhanxiong and the others naturally agreed with great delight. After all, this was the best possible outcome.

Moreover, since Chu Lu had killed Zhao Lihua and had no desire to manage affairs, the Seven Profound Sect and the Dart Gang were effectively headless dragons. The three of them discussed it and split up and absorbed those two factions.

Qingfeng Town's five major sects thus became three.

Several days later, inside a luxurious estate in Qingfeng Town.

Chu Lu slowly opened his eyes and let out a soft breath.

After settling down and cultivating for a few more days, he estimated that the time was about right and opened the Chat Group's inventory. Sure enough, the World-Crossing Talisman's cooldown had only three hours remaining.

"All right, it's about time I went to find Xu Liniang," Chu Lu muttered to himself.

He still remembered Xu Liniang mentioning some time ago that she had something she needed his help with.

So he entered the Chat Group, tagged Xu Liniang, and said, "The World-Crossing Talisman's cooldown is almost over. Do you still need my help with what you mentioned last time?"

Xu Liniang immediately replied, "Yes, yes, yes, yes! Come over right away!"

Chu Lu blinked, somewhat surprised.

Whoa. Is it really that urgent?

The others in the Chat Group also replied in surprise.

Hua Honglian: "What's wrong, Liniang? Do you have trouble too?"

Luo Qingdie: "You need Chu Lu's help? Well... you'd better prepare yourself mentally first."

Zhu Shanlin: "Is there going to be another river of blood?"

Liu Ruyue: "I'm inexplicably looking forward to this."

Chu Lu said at this point, "Don't rush. There's still an hour and a half. Take this time to introduce your situation first. What kind of world are you in? What's your identity? What trouble have you run into?"

That bunch of goofballs all echoed, saying yes, yes, yes.

Xu Liniang said, "All right. My world... is a fairly ordinary one. There are no spells, immortals, or anything like that. Everyone is what you people would call mortals."

Luo Qingdie: "Eh? A world like that exists too?"

Chu Lu, however, was not surprised. Got it, a female fiction historical novel.

Xu Liniang then continued, "And I am the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Chu Lu: "Hm?"

Hua Honglian: "?"

Luo Qingdie: "?"

Zhu Shanlin: "?"

Liu Ruyue: "?"

Question marks immediately filled the Chat Group.

"Wait?" Chu Lu asked in surprise. "You're a man?"

Xu Liniang said, "No... how should I put this? It seems there are no so-called men in our world."

As soon as she said that, question marks once again filled the Chat Group.

And after a moment of surprise, Chu Lu understood again.

An all-female yuri female fiction historical novel, huh? What a mixed bag of ingredients!

Zhu Shanlin: "Wait, then how do you... consummate your marriages and have children?"

Xu Liniang: "Ah, don't ask me about such embarrassing things."

But that bunch of goofballs was thrilled and eager to get to the bottom of it. Chu Lu finally could not stand it anymore and loudly berated them, telling them to shut up and get to the important business, urging Xu Liniang to explain the situation. Only then did the goofballs quiet down.

Xu Liniang: "My mother was the founding Emperor of Great Yan. I was her eldest legitimate daughter, and after my mother passed away, I ascended the throne. Later, I married the eldest daughter of the great aristocratic Liu Family. Everything had originally gone smoothly. But then, one day, everything suddenly changed. The Empress became like an entirely different person. She exhausted every scheme and used countless ruthless methods, forcibly setting traps that led to my death, then seized my throne. Afterward, I was reborn once more and returned to before everything began."

"I tried to resist, but I still sank deep into the mud, so I wanted to ask for your help, Chu Lu."

Chu Lu frowned slightly.

It was not because of the rebirth. He was no longer surprised by that.

Female Fiction protagonists—eight out of ten were reborn.

The problem was that Xu Liniang's trouble seemed to involve court intrigue, and that was not something he was good at.

The only things he had encountered that had even the slightest connection to court intrigue were Those Things of the Ming Dynasty and Chibi Three Kingdoms.

Of course, he could learn, but Xu Liniang's situation seemed extremely urgent. There might not be enough time.

As for going on a killing spree, this was an ordinary world. He did not even know whether he would be able to use spells after crossing over.

Still, Xu Liniang sounded so miserable that it would not be good to refuse her so directly.

Chu Lu: "Um... could you first explain how the Empress harmed you and took your throne?"

Chu Lu intended to gather some information first. If the other party's methods were too sophisticated, then he could only admit he was unable to help.

Xu Liniang: "All right."

Xu Liniang: "The Empress first made a move against Consort Ping, whom I favored most. She took a winnowing basket and barged into Consort Ping's palace while Consort Ping was pregnant, stuffed the basket beneath Consort Ping's clothes, then accused her of using it to fake a pregnancy, intending to have her killed over it."

Chu Lu, who had originally been solemn, froze. "Huh?"

Chu Lu: "Um... this isn't the time for jokes, is it?"

Xu Liniang: "I'm not joking. The Empress was incredibly vicious and malicious back then, and her methods were unbelievably brilliant. Consort Ping said she had not faked her pregnancy, so the Empress said, then you gave birth to a winnowing basket, didn't you? You're a Winnowing Basket Demon! You should be burned! Consort Ping had no choice but to say she was not one, so the Empress said that meant she had faked her pregnancy—the Crime of Deceiving the Emperor, shall be executed! My poor Consort Ping, she had no way out at all."

Chu Lu: "..."

While Chu Lu stood there blankly and speechlessly, the goofballs all exclaimed in amazement.

Hua Honglian: "What a vicious method!"

Luo Qingdie: "Blocked at both ends—how brilliant!"

Zhu Shanlin: "The depth of this woman's scheming is a rarity as scarce as phoenix feathers and qilin horns even across the entire continent!"

Liu Ruyue: "Terrifying indeed!"

Xu Liniang: "Right?"

Chu Lu: "..."

Chu Lu: "Um... wait a moment. I'll be right back."

Then he closed the Chat Group, went somewhere quiet and deserted, raised his head, and roared loudly.

"You female fiction stories... are! sick! in! the! head!!!!!"
