[Lu Jiuyuan: This is a proper Myriad Worlds Peerless Beauty Group, not a place for you to share dirty material.]
[Yan Lingji: Oh, how is this not proper? It's cultural exchange!]
[Feng Qing'er: Exactly. What's wrong with learning about the customs and culture of other worlds?]
[Yan Lingji: Besides, Group Owner, these files came with the group archive.]
Lu Jiuyuan was stunned.
The group archive?
He opened it and took a look.
Then he fell silent.
[Peerless Beauty Group · Shared Folder]
[Beauty and Skincare]
[Complete Collection of Dual Cultivation Techniques]
[Island Culture Exchange Series (114 films)]
Lu Jiuyuan's face darkened.
"One hundred and fourteen films?!"
He blurted it out before he could stop himself.
What on earth were these women doing in the group?
[Lu Jiuyuan: Where did these files come from?]
[Yan Lingji: No idea. They were already there when I joined.]
[Feng Qing'er: If I'd known the group archive had so many good things, I would've studied them inside out sooner. Still, it's not too late.]
[Yun Yun: +1]
[Medusa: +2]
[Bibi Dong: +3.]
Lu Jiuyuan was stunned.
They came with the system?
Suddenly, he remembered the name of the group: Myriad Worlds Peerless Beauty Group.
Peerless beauties.
Peerless beauties...
He thought he understood.
[Lu Jiuyuan: So this group was originally made for beauties to share... this kind of stuff?]
[Yan Lingji: The Group Owner's so clever!]
[Feng Qing'er: What else did you think? You were just an unexpected addition, and then you accidentally became our Group Owner!]
[Yun Yun: Um... Group Owner, you're not actually going to delete everything, are you?]
Lu Jiuyuan stared at the message, lost in thought.
As someone who'd crossed into another world, he knew just how valuable these files were.
One hundred and fourteen films, cultural exchange from all sorts of worlds.
If word got out...
Wait. What was he thinking?
He was a thoroughly proper man.
[Lu Jiuyuan: These files could have a bad influence.]
[Yan Lingji: What bad influence?]
[Lu Jiuyuan: What if outsiders saw them...?]
[Feng Qing'er: They're in the group archive. Outsiders can't get in.]
[Lu Jiuyuan: ...]
[Yun Yun: Besides, Group Owner, are you sure you want to delete them?]
[Yun Yun: These are the best of every world.]
[Yun Yun: Studying them thoroughly could even help with cultivation.]
[Medusa: She's right. Dual cultivation techniques really are useful.]
Lu Jiuyuan fell silent.
He'd only skimmed through the files, but he had indeed seen quite a few dual cultivation techniques.
If he could study them...
No, no.
What was he thinking?
[Lu Jiuyuan: You're trying to tempt your Group Owner into doing something wrong.]
[Yan Lingji: Hehe, so will you give in or not, Group Owner?]
[Feng Qing'er: He wouldn't dare. He looks like such a proper man.]
[Yun Yun: Don't provoke him. What if he really deletes them...?]
[Yan Lingji: Relax. He won't delete them.]
[Yan Lingji: He's already tempted!]
Lu Jiuyuan: "..."
How did Yan Lingji know everything?
He was about to say something when a new message suddenly popped up in the group.
[System Notice: Group member "Yan Lingji" has started a poll.]
[Poll: Do you agree with the Group Owner deleting the group archive?]
[Option A: No (strongly opposed)]
[Option B: Absolutely not (opposed to the death)]
[Option C: Absolutely not (opposed to the bitter end)]
Lu Jiuyuan: "..."
[Yan Lingji: Girls, time to vote!]
[Feng Qing'er: A!]
[Yun Yun: ...A, I guess.]
[Medusa: A.]
[Bibi Dong: A.]
[New Member · Zi Nu: I just joined, and this is what I walk into?]
[New Member · Zi Nu: I vote A too.]
Lu Jiuyuan stared at the screen full of A's, the corner of his eye twitching.
[Lu Jiuyuan: You're rigging the vote.]
[Yan Lingji: Oh, come on. It's a democratic vote!]
[Feng Qing'er: Exactly. The minority has to go along with the majority.]
[Yun Yun: Just accept your fate, Group Owner.]
He was about to reply when another message popped up.
[Feng Qing'er: Oh, right, Group Owner. I forgot to tell you.]
[Feng Qing'er: If you dare delete them, every one of us—]
[Feng Qing'er: will challenge you together.]
[Yan Lingji: +1]
[Yun Yun: +1]
[Medusa: +1]
[Bibi Dong: +1]
[Zi Nu: I have no idea what's going on, but +1.]
Lu Jiuyuan stared at the screen full of +1s and fell completely silent.
Challenge him together?
He was in the mid-stage of the Taiqing Realm. He could handle one or two, but this many—
Besides, these women came from different worlds and had all kinds of strange abilities. He might not be able to deal with all of them.
The worst part was, they were clearly serious.
[Lu Jiuyuan: Are you threatening your Group Owner?]
[Yan Lingji: How can you call it a threat? It's friendly negotiation~]
[Feng Qing'er: Exactly. If you give in, we can still be good sisters—no, good groupmates.]
[Zi Nu: Group Owner, just... keep them, okay? Please.jpg]
Lu Jiuyuan looked at the "Please" sticker and, for some reason, felt like laughing.
These women were something else. They were usually more proper than anyone, yet now they were all acting cute over 114 dirty movies.
[Lu Jiuyuan: So, in your eyes, these files are more important than your Group Owner?]
The group fell quiet for a moment.
[Yan Lingji: Of course~]
[Feng Qing'er: Obviously.]
[Yun Yun: Ahem.]
[Medusa: ...]
[Bibi Dong: What do you think?]
Lu Jiuyuan: "..."
Fine. He got it.
In these women's eyes, their Group Owner wasn't even as important as 114 dirty movies.
[Lu Jiuyuan: Fine.]
[Lu Jiuyuan: You win.]
[Yan Lingji: Hehe, so you agree not to delete them?]
Lu Jiuyuan stared at the message for a long time.
He thought of those dual cultivation techniques.
Thought of that cultural exchange.
Thought of...
Forget it.
He'd just treat it as studying cultivation systems from other worlds.
[Lu Jiuyuan: I won't delete them.]
[Lu Jiuyuan: But.]
[Yan Lingji: But what?]
[Lu Jiuyuan: But you have to agree to one condition.]
[Feng Qing'er: What condition?]
The corners of Lu Jiuyuan's mouth lifted slightly.
[Lu Jiuyuan: If you get more files like these, share them with me first.]
The group fell silent for three seconds.
Then it exploded.
[Yan Lingji: ???]
[Feng Qing'er: You fraud! You only pretend to be proper!]
[Yun Yun: Men really are all the same.]
[Medusa: ...]
[Bibi Dong: Hmph. I was wrong about you.]
[Zi Nu: Interesting!]
Lu Jiuyuan read the stream of teasing messages and laughed until his shoulders shook.
[Lu Jiuyuan: What? You can watch them, but the Group Owner can't?]
[Lu Jiuyuan: The Group Owner's a man too. Let me have a look.]
[Yan Lingji: ...You win.]
[Feng Qing'er: Fine, fine. If we get anything new, you'll be the first to receive it.]
[Zi Nu: Group Owner, you've gone bad...]
[Yun Yun: You were bad from the start!]
Lu Jiuyuan read the messages, the corners of his mouth curling slightly, then closed the group chat interface.
