Whoa! Getting Scammed?

"Bang!"

The sound of a huge boulder hitting the ground spread throughout the mountain forest. Several enormous wolves, black and white like huskies, collapsed with it, kicking up countless clouds of dust...

Looking at the domineering (delicate) figure ahead, Jiang Lin smacked his lips. As expected of a Pure Martial Warrior in the Sixth Realm—one punch was simply overwhelmingly domineering.

Luckily, Chen Jia was a man. Otherwise, if those dainty little fists smashed into your chest, wouldn't you cough up several liters of old blood?

"Little girl, are you all right?"

Squatting down, Chen Jia looked at the dazed girl beside him. She wanted to cry, but she had been too frightened to do so.

Just now, after the two of them heard the girl's cries for help, Jiang Lin and Chen Jia had rushed to rescue her without a second thought.

However, seeing Chen Jia's gentle appearance, Jiang Lin couldn't help coming back to his senses.

Something wasn't right... Wasn't he a member of the Demon Sect? How was he even purer than the Righteous Sect?

"What is your name?"

Gently smoothing the little girl's soft, silky hair, Chen Jia spoke tender words in a deep male baritone, paired with an exquisitely beautiful appearance...

"Nan... Nan Xiaoman..."

The little girl gradually calmed down, but her limpid eyes looked as if they were about to spill tears at any moment.

By the light of the moon, Jiang Lin carefully sized up the little girl.

Although her torn clothes were covered in dust and her hair was rather messy, the girl was indeed very cute. Her large eyes were bright and limpid, and though her little face was somewhat thin, her features were exquisite. If she put on a gothic dress and walked down the street, she would absolutely become a target for some strange uncles—the kind who pulled out a Lollipop.

Jiang Lin had definitely never seen this little girl before, but the question was, why did she feel so familiar to him?

"Little girl, where do you live?"

Squatting down, Jiang Lin squeezed out a smile like an old father.

"Xiao Man... Xiao Man doesn't have a home..." The little girl lowered her head and poked her fingers together.

"Then what about your parents?"

"Xiao Man's parents have already... already..."

As she spoke, the girl was on the verge of crying...

"Hey! Jiang Lin! What are you doing?"

Seeing that the girl was about to cry, Chen Jia angrily raised his fist and was about to swing it at Jiang Lin...

"Brother Chen, wait." Jiang Lin caught Chen Jia's little fist and gently lowered it, then pulled him aside and said softly, "Brother Chen, how do you plan to deal with this child?"

"Deal with her? Of course we'll take her with us. She's all alone—are we supposed to let her fend for herself?"

"..." Jiang Lin's brow twitched. "Brother Chen, we're villains... members of the Demon Sect... I think we should..."

Jiang Lin raised his brows and gave Chen Jia a meaningful look.

"Jiang Lin!" Chen Jia suddenly backed away and assumed a fighting stance. "If you dare lay a hand on her, I'll pound your chest flat!"

"Wait, Brother Chen, you've misunderstood. I mean that you're wholeheartedly obsessed with martial arts, so you're lacking when it comes to cultivating your judgment and reading people.

"Brother Chen, think about it. In this desolate wilderness, how could we happen to encounter a girl like this? And why could such a frail girl hold out until we arrived? On top of that, she's conveniently orphaned and homeless."

"Are you saying...?"

Chen Jia had also noticed that something was a little off, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"I'm worried that this child is a member of the Demon Sect, the kind who specializes in causing trouble."

Chen Jia: "Brother Jiang, have you forgotten? We're members of the Demon Sect..."

"..."

Jiang Lin felt like cursing. You were a member of the Demon Sect, yet you were still so loving.

"What I mean is, if this child has some scheme, you would have trouble dealing with her because you're so absorbed in martial arts. Brother Chen, please let me take care of her. Once we reach the town beneath Black Tortoise Mountain, we'll help her find a decent family."

Chen Jia rubbed his chin and finally nodded. "That works, but there's one thing I want to ask."

"Please ask, Brother Chen."

"Brother Jiang, you wouldn't happen to be one of those... what do they call it again? A lolicon?"

"..."

Early the next morning, Jiang Lin and Chen Jia led Nan Xiaoman into Black Tortoise City beneath Black Tortoise Mountain.

As the affiliated town of Black Tortoise Mountain, where the Sect Grand Tournament was being held, Black Tortoise City was already bustling with people. Disciples from various sects walked around in neat lines, wearing their respective sect uniforms.

It had to be said that cultivators generally weren't lacking in looks. Handsome men and beautiful women were everywhere.

At Jiang Lin's suggestion, the three of them first checked into an inn. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any rooms left.

After a long string of instructions from Jiang Lin, Chen Jia stayed at the inn with Xiao Man while Jiang Lin said he was going outside to replenish their supplies.

However, when Jiang Lin returned and took three sets of women's clothing, various rouge powders, and women's accessories out of his Storage Ring...

Chen Jia and Xiao Man looked at Jiang Lin as if he were a pervert.

"Ahem, ahem... When traveling, disguising ourselves is extremely important. Come on, let's change quickly."

Chen Jia had originally been extremely resistant to women's clothing, feeling that it insulted his identity as a real man.

But after Jiang Lin's persuasion and his taking the lead, Chen Jia put on the women's clothes and applied several layers of rouge. His heart became incredibly conflicted, and he felt that he really shouldn't be so hung up on trivial matters.

Besides, these clothes... were actually quite pretty...

What depressed Jiang Lin was that Xiao Man was one thing, but why did Chen Jia have to return to his own room to change?

What was there to be shy about? Wouldn't it be better to let me take a look?

Wait a second—could Chen Jia really be a girl?

With a little excitement and anticipation, Jiang Lin waited outside Chen Jia and Xiao Man's room.

When they finally came out, Jiang Lin's eyes lit up immediately. They had only changed their clothes, but Xiao Man already looked like a young lady from a scholarly family—cute and pure.

Chen Jia was even more beautiful than anything worldly. With simple hair ornaments, a Tasseled Gauze Long Skirt, and a pair of Embroidered Shoes, he was all legs below the neck, but he truly looked stunning!

However...

Looking at Chen Jia's perfectly flat chest, Jiang Lin felt extremely conflicted...

Jiang Lin felt that even his own pectoral muscles were bigger than his.

To make things look more realistic, Jiang Lin handed Chen Jia the two steamed buns he had just bought while they were still hot.

"I'm not hungry."

Jiang Lin rolled his eyes at Chen Jia. "I'm not hungry either."

Then Jiang Lin stuffed the buns into his own chest. Seeing this, Chen Jia was first stunned, then his fair, pretty face instantly flushed red.

With a loud bang, Jiang Lin, who hadn't even had time to react, was sent flying downstairs...

After the three of them finished lunch together, Jiang Lin, still uneasy about Xiao Man's identity, planned to take her out to gather information. Chen Jia, suspecting that Jiang Lin was a lolicon, followed along as well.

Walking down the street, just as Jiang Lin was about to use the secret technique "You're So Flirtatious" to gather information through his looks...

At the other end of the street, a man lightly bumped shoulders with someone. Then he instantly flew three meters away and fell to the ground, spitting blood...

"Whoa! Getting scammed?"

[Thanks for Xiao Xing's recommendation~~~ I'll treat him to milk tea tonight (waggish)]

This is a new writer's new book, so I hope everyone will look after me. I also hope everyone will be generous and understanding... Starting tomorrow or the day after, I'll update twice a day...
