Brother Jiang! You're Famous!

At Black Tortoise City's "A Little Sweet" teahouse...

"Hey, did you hear?"

"Hear what?"

"Oh, you know—the incident at that inn called 'This is Not a Black Shop.'"

"Oh... I heard, I heard. I never expected that Jiang Lin guy to still be alive!"

"Not only is he alive! I heard it from my eldest nephew's wife's best friend's boyfriend's girlfriend. Apparently, Fairy Lin got into a fight with that Jiang Lin at the inn. And guess what happened? When the Dragon Gate Sect disciples broke through the door after hearing the commotion, that Jiang Lin... actually... actually..."

"Oh, what did he do? Tell us!"

"He was stark naked, holding Fairy Lin and kissing her like crazy!"

"What?! That lecher actually dared to be so outrageous!"

"Who knows? The Dragon Gate Sect and the cultivators of Black Tortoise City are hunting him down now."

The Drunken Immortal Abode in Black Tortoise City was the city's greatest pleasure district. Known as the Royal Uncle Club, it usually did its strongest business at night.

Yet early that morning, a man hurried into the Drunken Immortal Abode.

"Brother Hao! Brother Hao! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible!"

A man shouted as he shoved open the door, provoking a burst of shrieks from inside the room.

"What are you yelling about? What's got you so flustered? Can't you see I'm studying Black Tortoise City Dialect?!"

On the enormous bed for two, the man sat up, while the woman from the Drunken Immortal Abode immediately covered her face and pulled up the blankets.

"Brother Hao! You can study the dialect another day, but Fairy Lin of the Dragon Gate Sect... she... she..."

"Fairy Lin?! What happened to her?!"

"She was kissed by force!"

"What?!"

At Black Tortoise City Confucian Academy, an old teacher walked up to the lectern. Looking at that day's headline in the Black Tortoise City Daily, he said earnestly:

"Recently, a pervert has been lurking around Black Tortoise City. Young ladies, take care to protect yourselves. Those of you with boyfriends, keep an eye on your little girlfriends. All right, class is beginning."

On the streets of Black Tortoise City, a little girl wanted to eat Sugar-coated Haws, but her mother refused to buy them. She sat on the ground and wailed.

"Keep crying, keep crying—you've already got cavities, and you still want candy. If you don't stop, that pervert Jiang Lin will come for you. He loves crybabies!"

The moment the girl's mother finished speaking, the child's sobs abruptly stopped. Her chubby little face flushed bright red.

At Black Tortoise City's "This Restaurant is Very Affordable" Restaurant, a "woman" ordered several small dishes and a heaping bowl of rice, happily eating lunch.

The girl was simply too pure and adorable. Every time she put rice into her little mouth, she looked even more charming and mischievous, so quite a few people in the restaurant secretly stole glances at her.

Before long, a man dressed in white, a jade pendant hanging from his waist and a Landscape Painting fan in his hand, walked over and sat down opposite the "woman."

"Ahem, ahem..." The man cleared his throat. With a swish, he snapped open the Landscape Painting fan and flicked up a small lock of his bangs. "Miss, are you dining alone?"

The girl did not answer and continued burying her head in her meal.

"Um, miss, you should be careful. There's a Flower-Picking Thief prowling the city lately, a man named Jiang Lin. If you don't mind, I, Ye Liangchen of the Unadorned Willow Sect, would be honored to accompany you..."

With a whoosh, before Ye Liangchen could finish, the girl stood up and used a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

"Mis—"

"Bang!"

Again, before he could finish speaking, the "woman" punched him. Ye Liangchen flew out of the inn. Clutching his chest, he tried to get up, but his breath caught, and he immediately passed out.

"I'm a man! A real man!"

The "woman" spoke in a gruff voice, tilted up her head, tossed a fragment of silver into the waiter's hand, and turned to leave.

In the Black Tortoise City Lord's private quarters, a girl dressed in black, her skin white as snow, was reading that day's Black Tortoise City Daily. Another girl, a decorative mark painted between her brows, was nervously watching the woman beside her, whose beauty was as silky and bewitching as flowing threads.

"Yuni, listen to me. There must be some misunderstanding. Even if Jiang Lin is young and full of vigor, he couldn't possibly have taken off all his clothes..."

"Of course there's a misunderstanding!" Jiang Yuni rose to her feet. Her black Natal Sword flew out from between the girl's brows and landed in her hand.

"Yuni, calm down, calm down. Little Jiang Lin definitely isn't that kind of person." Just as the girl was about to depart on her sword, Black Tortoise City Lord Luo Qinchang hurriedly wrapped her arms around the girl's slender waist.

"Nonsense! My Jiang Lin definitely isn't that kind of person. Never mind that Lin Qingwan seduced my Jiang Lin—she actually spread slander after failing to get him! My Little Linlin must be heartbroken! I want to see whether the Dragon Gate Sect can withstand my challenge!"

"Huh? Seduced him? Slandered him?"

Looking at the Black Tortoise City Daily lying on the ground, where the black-and-white text clearly stated that Jiang Lin had defiled Fairy Lin Qingwan, the story had somehow been turned completely upside down in this girl's eyes.

"Wasn't it? Qin Chang, let me go!"

"No! Yuni, put down the sword in your hand first. Let's calm down!" Luo Qinchang looked like she was about to cry. "I'll definitely investigate this and clear Jiang Lin's name. But if you go out and your identity is exposed, all those old monsters will surround and attack you. Once the commotion grows, Little Lin will be caught up in it too."

"But..."

"There's no but."

Seeing that the girl in her arms had softened slightly, Luo Qinchang took Jiang Yuni's slender hand and moved around in front of her. Their beautiful eyes met. "Trust me! I absolutely won't let Little Lin suffer even the slightest harm."

Jiang Yuni stared straight into Luo Qinchang's eyes, while Luo Qinchang's gaze was filled with sincerity.

"Qin Chang, tell me the truth."

"Mm!"

"Have you fallen for Little Lin too?!"

"???"

"Xueli, after we buy everything we need for entering the Secret Realm this time, try not to go outside anymore."

On Black Tortoise City's bustling streets, a voice entered the girl's Divine Sense from within the woman wearing a veiled hat and a huge robe that concealed her graceful figure.

"Is Elder Sister Sword Spirit worried about that Flower-Picking Bandit named Jiang Lin?!"

"I am somewhat worried. I heard that Lin Qingwan of the Dragon Gate Sect has already reached the Dragon Gate Realm, yet even she was molested. Although you possess extraordinary talent and were born with a Supreme Bone, your cultivation realm is still low. You must act cautiously for now."

"But you don't need to worry too much. As long as he hasn't entered the Jade Purity Realm, if that Flower-Picking Thief dares to come, Elder Sister Sword Spirit can break both his legs!"

"Mm, with Elder Sister Sword Spirit here, Xueli isn't afraid of anything! If he dares to come, Xueli will just rid the people of a menace!"

"Ha... achoo..."

"Brother Jiang, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I only caught a chill." Jiang Lin rubbed his nose and looked at Fang Chaoqun. "By the way, what were you saying just now?"

"Oh, Brother Jiang, congratulations!" As he spoke, Fang Chaoqun stood up, holding the Black Tortoise City Daily, and clasped his fists in congratulations.

"Congratulations?! Did I become a father?!"

"Become a father? Fang Chaoqun has no idea about that. But Brother Jiang! You're famous!"
