Movie

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: @Chu Mo, why did you stop talking? What did you do to become an admin?]

[ X iao Who Plays the Flute: Exactly, Wang Dong, you said it was really bad, but what exactly happened?]

Wang Dong'er, the one being questioned, still had a blush on her little face. How was she supposed to explain?

She could say she'd eavesdropped on the group owner and a member having a passionate encounter, and afterward, that member had become an admin.

Wouldn't that sound a little sleazy?

Ugh, it was way too sleazy!

Wang Dong'er would never say that.

[Chu Mo: All right, all right, stop asking. It was random, believe it or not. Even if you don't, I'm not telling you anything else.]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: ...]

[Xiao Who Plays the Flute: ...]

[Cat Who Controls Speed: 666]

[Grilled Fish Girl: I just woke up. It's already this lively?]

[Chu Mo: Mm, because I'm about to post a video. You're definitely going to be interested in this one. It's a huge scoop, and one of the people involved is in the chat.]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: That confident?]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: I don't believe it. This is obviously a scheme to change the subject.]

The others hadn't questioned him, but Chu Mo's lips curved upward slightly. This has to do with you two.

[Chu Mo: Video.]

Wang Dong'er had been about to fire back, but froze the moment the video appeared. The person onscreen was her true self!

"It's about me? What could it be?"

With that thought in mind, she opened it.

[In the video, a handsome boy with pink-and-blue hair walked onto the competition stage. That's right, it was Wang Dong'er in her male disguise at the Spirit Master Tournament. In the audience, Meng Hongchen was cheering him on.]

[Wang Dong'er's opponent was Meng Hongchen's older brother, Xiao Hongchen.]

Wang Dong'er had never met the other girl, so she was a little confused. She assumed that her future self had met someone online in private and that their relationship had improved.

[In the final, when Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Wang Dong'er and Huo Yu'er embraced and performed their Martial Soul Fusion, too. A peerlessly beautiful young woman with pink-and-blue hair appeared, her hair reaching all the way to her feet. Her flawless face was enough to make the group members feel inferior, and golden light flashed in her eyes.]

[A moment later, the peerlessly beautiful young woman began to move. She raised her left leg as her wings slowly beat...]

[Her beauty was only part of it. More importantly, Meng Hongchen's pupils trembled slightly, and her expression held a trace of inferiority.]

"Heh. Looks like Meng Hongchen isn't all that impressive after all. She actually lost to Yu'er and me."

Seeing this, Wang Dong'er lifted her chin, her face beaming with delight.

But once her excitement faded, a thought suddenly struck her. She froze and wondered, "He sent me this video to cheer me up. Could he be trying to get me to keep his secret?"

[After the competition ended, while Meng Hongchen was detoxifying the other team members, she stared intently at Wang Dong'er. She wasn't comparing her to the peerlessly beautiful young woman from the Martial Soul Fusion, nor had she developed feelings for her.]

[The scene shifted to the period when the exchange students were at the academy. Meng Hongchen began to pursue Wang Dong'er, who was still disguised as a boy, with all her might.]

[Meng Hongchen stood outside the dormitory with a lunchbox she'd just made herself. She held it out to Wang Dong'er and said, "I made this lunchbox myself. I hope you'll accept it."]

[It was practically pathetic. Whether it was bringing lunchboxes over and over or humbly asking questions about their studies, her intentions couldn't have been more obvious. She was making a blatant advance.]

[But she was rejected.]

[After finding out what Wang Dong'er liked to eat, Meng Hongchen prepared another lunchbox and went to the tree where Wang Dong'er was staying. Wang Dong'er wasn't interested at all. She summoned her martial soul and flew straight off the tree.]

[Meng Hongchen was rebuffed, but she didn't lose heart. She raised her hand and called out, "Don't go! I heard you like grilled fish. I added some grilled fish to the lunchbox this time."]

["Fish..."]

[Wang Dong'er turned her face away and replied coldly, "I don't want to eat grilled fish made by you!"]

[After saying that, she flew away, leaving Meng Hongchen frozen in place. But this didn't discourage her. It only made her more interested, and from then on, she began confessing even more fervently. During that exchange-student period, she confessed nearly a hundred times, day and night.]

By this point in the video, Wang Dong'er's face had gone dark.

"Cut it out! What is this supposed to mean?"

Was this taunting her?

[After that came hard-fought competition, leading up to the second Spirit Master Tournament...]

!

Wait a second!

Wang Dong'er caught sight of someone in the video and her eyes widened. She slowly rewound it.

"Why does someone look exactly like me?"

Staring at Wang Qiu'er, who looked 98 percent like her, she was stunned.

She didn't have a twin sister, older or younger, did she?

There was still a long section of the video showing the two of them spending time together and the other girl's shining moments. After all, only showing the embarrassing parts wouldn't be very interesting. The highlights were what would keep everyone watching.

But Meng Hongchen couldn't bear to watch until the end. Her eyes kept going dark, again and again, and it felt like she'd swallowed a fly. She couldn't get a word out.

The Wang Dong'er she'd pursued for months in the video—after spending all that time as a lovesick fool without winning her over—turned out to be a girl! And the person she'd fallen in love with at first sight was a girl, too!

There was nothing to say against the video. Everything in it was true.

If Meng Hongchen put herself back in that situation, she would definitely have fallen in love at first sight with Wang Dong'er. Not only was she beautiful, she also had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. She'd beaten Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen in the tournament, and had that aloof, indifferent air. Of course Meng Hongchen would pursue her.

[Xiao Who Plays the Flute: 666. True love! No wonder Brother Chu Mo said it involved someone in the chat. It's a romance between two girls!]

[Grilled Fish Girl: I'm shocked!]

[Chu Mo: Haha, I told you this scoop would be explosive.]

[Revenge Girl: All I saw was a despairing Meng Hongchen.]

The video ended abruptly with Meng Hongchen crying out, "You're a girl?!" It didn't show her spitting blood and passing out, but it was still pretty despairing.

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: @Revenge Girl, I can't get at the others or teach them a lesson, but you're at the Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy!]

[Revenge Girl: Waaah, Meng, please spare me. I didn't even say anything!]

Thump, thump!

Meng Hongchen glared at the chat, angrily flopped back onto her bed, and kicked her legs up and down against it to vent her frustration.

"I'm so mad! I'm so mad!"

She angrily ruffled her wine-red hair until it was a complete mess. She'd lost all her poise, but she was still furious.

"You bunch of jerks! I haven't even done any of that yet, so why are you making fun of me?"

She would have acted the same way as the girl in the video, but she hadn't done it yet! Why were they laughing at her? She was so mad. Meng Hongchen was furious today, puffing up her cheeks in anger.

Only three people hadn't replied: one was cultivating, one was making guesses, and the other was stunned.

That stunned person was Zhu Zhuqing!

At first, watching the video had been fascinating. She'd gotten to see Tang Wutong's experiences in the lower realm—nice, something she could bring up to jog her memory. But halfway through, she realized: this hadn't even happened yet!

The future!

"What kind of ability is this? He can even see the future and save it for others to watch?"

"A god?"

She could only think in terms of what she knew, and the strongest beings she knew of were gods, even God Kings. But from the conversation, the group owner seemed to be just an ordinary Soul Master. Could he have inherited some kind of godhood?

That was the only possibility she could think of for now. She decided to probe around and see if there was any godhood like that. If she could win him over, perhaps he could help with Tang San's plan.

With that resolve, Zhu Zhuqing closed the chat and got out of bed. She headed outside, just as someone knocked on the door.

"Zhuqing, I heard from Third Brother that you ran into some trouble with your cultivation. I came to check on you."

Xiao Wu's alluring yet concerned voice came from outside the door.
