Douluo Continent, Holy Soul Village.
Su Yun stared blankly at his reflection in the water.
His youthful face looked dazed. Long, straight black hair fell over his shoulders, revealing a smooth forehead and an elegant swanlike neck. He had a delicate oval face, phoenix eyes, and fair skin as pristine as the first snow of winter, so flawless it held not a single blemish. Sunlight glinted off it with the sheen of porcelain.
"But I'm fucking a guy!"
Su Yun had a splitting headache.
That's right. This breathtaking beauty was actually a man.
It all began when Su Yun had crossed over.
A month ago, after getting off work, Su Yun had planned to play a round of League of Legends to unwind.
He picked Sett, took Flash and Ignite, and got ready to wreak havoc in Summoner's Rift and vent all the frustration built up from working overtime. But when the game started, he discovered he was laning against the Old Man of Time.
Su Yun couldn't remember much of the laning phase. His mind was full of last-hitting minions and exploding. When the game ended, he punched straight through his monitor, then his soul transmigrated to Douluo Continent, where Old Jack from Holy Soul Village found him in the woods and took him home.
As for why he'd turned into this, it was all because of the system's newbie gift pack.
A set of women's clothes and a buff.
[Cross-dressing Buff: While cross-dressed, your gender cannot be detected, and all talent attributes increase by 200%.]
"Talent attributes" here didn't just mean strength; they also included cultivation aptitude, looks, charm...
Without a doubt, this was an incredibly powerful buff. Once Su Yun awakened his Martial Soul, as long as his talent wasn't poor, he could become a genius in one leap. But the damn thing required him to cross-dress!
In his previous life, Su Yun had been a straight man standing 183 centimeters tall. He absolutely couldn't accept it. Besides, he had a system, so losing one buff wouldn't matter much.
Su Yun's system was called the [Go Out Relying on Friends System].
By making friends, he could gain [Friendship Points].
[Friendship Points] could be used for draws or to exchange for all kinds of goods from the myriad worlds in the System Mall, though the prices were rather steep.
After learning this, Su Yun eagerly began making friends with the children in Holy Soul Village. Children were the easiest to befriend, after all. But he gained only a pitiful number of [Friendship Points]. The system explained that friends like these couldn't offer much help.
Along the way, Su Yun had also tried making friends with Tang San. After all, this guy would become God King Tang in the future. No matter how much people criticized his character, he was undoubtedly generous in helping his friends. The Shrek Seven Monsters had all become gods.
But reality was cruel, no matter how beautiful the fantasy. Tang San was extremely guarded when Su Yun approached him, leaving Su Yun with nothing but a hot face pressed against a cold ass. Su Yun got annoyed and stopped bothering him.
And so, after a whole month, Su Yun had gained only 9 [Friendship Points]. He couldn't even buy anything from the mall, let alone afford the cheapest beginner draw.
Su Yun opened the system panel with a deep sigh.
[Name: Su Yun Age: 6 years old. Martial Soul: None Soul Power Level: 10 Spirit Skills: None Soul Bones: None Friendship Points: 8]
A product with nothing going for him. The reason he had Innate Full Soul Power was that cross-dressing doubled his talent and Soul Power.
After closing the system panel, Su Yun clenched his fist.
"I'm awakening my Martial Soul today. I hope that, on account of my Innate Full Soul Power, they'll let me into a Soul Master Academy even if I don't have a Martial Soul."
As he spoke, humiliation filled his eyes.
Everyone at a Soul Master Academy was a Soul Master. The rate at which he could gain [Friendship Points] there was incomparable to anywhere else. If he missed this chance, he'd have to wait another year. Fall behind by one step, and you'd fall behind at every step. That was why Su Yun had put on women's clothes today.
Even so, he still had no confidence. Without a Martial Soul, he couldn't add Spirit Rings. What difference would that make from being an ordinary person?
"People make plans, but Heaven decides!
"This is the first time I've cross-dressed, and it'll be the last.
"I did everything I could!"
After saying that, Su Yun took a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush from the little bag he'd brought, ready to wash up.
He'd exchanged for these things through the system. He simply couldn't get used to using willow branches and salt water.
But even ordinary toiletries cost a pretty penny in the System Mall. [1 Friendship Point] had purchasing power equivalent to just 100 yuan in his previous life.
Besides these, Su Yun had also bought plenty of spicy strips and "Happy Fat Guy Water." They were powerful tools for making friends quickly.
At this point, Su Yun felt grateful to Old Jack once again. Not only had he brought him home, but he'd never touched the bundle that came with him, either. Otherwise, it would've been hard to explain where all this stuff had come from.
Just as Su Yun began washing up,
a figure in the distance was rapidly approaching.
The child looked to be five or six years old. Frequent exposure to the sun had given him a healthy wheat-colored complexion. With short black hair and plain clothes, he looked neat and brisk.
It was God King Tang, Tang San.
He had just finished cultivating and was heading to the river to wash up.
But as Tang San neared the riverbank, he noticed a little girl already there.
Unlike his own plain clothes, the girl wore a pale green, high-waisted ruqun. A light blue-green cloth sash was tied around her waist, with two plain-colored tassels hanging down. In the shimmering reflections on the water, they flowed like ripples.
She clearly came from a wealthy family, but what was a girl like her doing outside Holy Soul Village?
As Tang San wondered, a breeze stirred. The girl's hair fluttered, tickling her face. She lifted a slender hand and tucked it behind her ear, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face, as if carved by nature's own hand. Even Tang San, who had lived two lifetimes, couldn't help but lose himself for a moment.
Watching the girl bend down to scoop up water with both hands, Tang San couldn't help speaking up.
"The riverbank isn't safe."
"Holy shit! Who?"
The sudden voice startled Su Yun, and he nearly toppled into the water.
Seeing this, Tang San panicked.
"Careful!"
He didn't bother hiding his movements and used [Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track] with all his might. He was at Su Yun's side in the blink of an eye. Just as he reached out to pull him back, he saw that Su Yun had already steadied himself.
As a result, when Su Yun turned around, he saw one of Tang San's hands awkwardly frozen in midair.
"Tang San?"
Once he recognized him, Su Yun's eyes held not only surprise but deep wariness.
He started wondering whether he'd somehow offended God King Tang without meaning to and earned himself the "Way of Seeking Death."
Tang San had no idea what Su Yun was thinking. Hearing the other call his name, he was astonished and asked,
"You know me?"
His voice held a hint of excitement.
Su Yun's brows furrowed slightly. He asked in return,
"You don't know me?"
Though his voice was airy and pleasant to the ear, it put Tang San under immense pressure.
She'd called him by name, and her tone suggested they knew each other. But no matter how hard Tang San tried to remember, he couldn't recall her at all.
A girl this stunning was impossible to forget if he'd ever met her.
