[Wu Xing: Ahem, Rong... Little Witch, you really need to improve your awareness. How can you see something in the Mall and immediately want to take a shortcut?]
[Seven Treasures Little Witch: Black stockings with lace trim, beautiful legs JPG.]
Wu Xing's eyes twitched as he lectured her. With lightning speed, he saved the picture again, then continued educating her as though nothing had happened.
[Wu Xing: As Soul Masters, we should keep our feet on the ground and take things one step at a time. That's the only way we can...]
[Seven Treasures Little Witch: Silk stockings, Aurora's beautiful legs JPG.]
[Seven Treasures Little Witch: Fishnet tights, tiny-grid beautiful legs JPG.]
[Seven Treasures Little Witch: Shiny gray stockings, beautiful legs JPG.]
[Seven Treasures Little Witch: Brother Wu Xing, I really, really want to improve. Won't you bend the rules for me? I'll send you even more, and even prettier, more private pictures in the future.]
[Seven Treasures Little Witch: Pink and fair little feet JPG.]
Wu Xing couldn't take Ning Rongrong's onslaught any longer. He tilted his head back, fighting with all his might to keep his nosebleed in check.
Especially that last picture. Those spotless, flawless little feet looked so tempting, he wanted to take a bite.
"See no evil, see no... Amitabha Buddha... The Way that can be spoken is not the eternal Way... At birth, human nature is good..."
Wu Xing kept reciting every calming mantra he could think of, but his hands never slowed as he saved the pictures one by one to his personal space, for later.
He definitely wasn't saving them to admire. They were evidence of her bribing him, proof of his own innocence.
Heaven Dou City.
Shrek Academy (formerly Blue Tyrant Academy.)
Ning Rongrong had been waiting ages for Wu Xing to reply. When he still hadn't, she angrily stamped her dainty little foot.
She'd even put on the speed-boosting gear she'd been saving for a special occasion, and in the end, had gone straight for the ultimate move by showing her feet.
But then he'd vanished! How could she not feel her chest tighten with anger?
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was used to men fawning over her. This was the first time she'd ever gone to such lengths to please a man.
She'd thought she'd have him eating out of her hand, but the guy had gone silent.
She was certain Wu Xing wasn't old. She could tell as much from the earlier screenshot of the Blue Silver Emperor. Though his face hadn't been shown, he definitely wasn't some immortal-looking, sage-like elder.
And there was one more important thing: the first message he'd sent after she joined the group, which he'd then withdrawn, had told her exactly what kind of person he was.
That was the biggest reason Ning Rongrong had sent those pictures.
Besides, he must have known who she was. She'd caught him almost calling her "Rong" just now.
And yet, faced with a princess as adorable and beloved as she was, the guy still hadn't taken the bait!
Was she not attractive enough? Or was that just not what he paid attention to?
She glanced down at her little panda, which had puffed up slightly with her anger. It still wasn't quite enough. Her spirits sank at once.
Darn it, why couldn't you grow up faster?
While Ning Rongrong was fuming, the other group members had also confirmed that the Group Mall was real.
They returned to the chat and saw the Seven Treasures Little Witch brazenly bribing him with one picture after another. They were all stunned.
[Nine-Tailed Sky Fox: ???]
[Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit: ???]
[Jade Phosphorus Yan Yan: Pale, fair legs JPG.]
[Ning Shui Fei Luan: Glowing ice-silk stockings, beautiful legs JPG.]
[Nether Shadow: Tight leather pants, beautiful legs JPG.]
[Nine-Tailed Sky Fox: Enough, you guys! How can you be so shameless?]
[Nine-Tailed Sky Fox: Light gray sheer stockings, beautiful legs JPG.]
[Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit: Pink stockings, beautiful legs JPG.]
[Ah Rou: Palace-style patterned stockings JPG.]
[Sea God Island High Priest: Silver heels, beautiful legs JPG.]
[Blue Silver Emperor: Picture JPG.]
A flood of milky-white, beautiful-leg pictures swept through the chat group.
Everyone sent a picture of their legs except Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong didn't post one because her daughter was in the group. If she sent it, who knew how much mockery she'd have to put up with?
A woman old enough to be her daughter's mother, still posting pictures of her legs in a group chat—did she have no shame?
She was starting to regret not changing her nickname. But who could have guessed that dimensional travelers really existed in this world, or that there'd be a Chat Group Mall stocked with every imaginable kind of item?
Qian Renxue didn't hold back because of Bibi Dong. She didn't care what her birth mother thought. The real problem was her identity as Xue Qinghe.
In the eyes of the other group members, she was a man!
If she sent a picture, wouldn't she expose the fact that the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was actually a woman in disguise?
She could already imagine the explosive headline that would spread through the Heaven Dou Empire the next day.
Shocking! The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire is a woman! Is this a distortion of human nature or a collapse of royal morality...
Wu Xing had finally recovered enough to focus on the chat again. When he saw all that snowy-white skin, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
No need to say anything. Save the lot first.
Dugu Yan's—nice, nice. Pretty fair, pretty long.
Shui Bing'er's—those sparkling ice-silk stockings really were beautiful. He wondered if they'd make him shiver if he pressed against them.
Zhu Zhuqing's—mm-hmm, this one was good too. It didn't have that barely-there look, but those long legs wrapped in tight leather had a different kind of allure.
Hu Liena's—she said no, but her hands moved fast. Since you're being so sincere, I'll save these first.
Xiao Wu's—(⊙o⊙)... No, no, too ugly. I can't even look. They're nothing like how she'll look when she grows up. Delete, delete.
Ah Rou's—wow, an ancient-style temptress. So charming. I'd better save this right away; once it's gone, it's gone.
As Wu Xing looked through the pictures one by one, his eyes and hands froze when he reached the Sea God Island High Priest's beautiful-leg picture.
Bo Saixi, oh, Bo Saixi. Who knew you were this kind of person!
The dignified High Enshrined of Sea God Island was actually sending beautiful-leg pictures to bribe him, just like some young girl!
What kind of official could withstand such a test?
Heh, but I liked it. I'd have to give her special attention from now on.
Wu Xing wiped away the sparkling tears that had unwittingly slipped from the corners of his eyes and moved on to the next picture.
"..."
When he saw Ah Yin's leg picture, the corners of his mouth twitched hard a few times. I asked for a beautiful-leg picture. What's the point of sending me a picture of your roots?
If everyone were like you, would the world still have corrupt officials? Would it still have crooked bureaucrats?
And what official could withstand a temptation like yours?
Very good, Blue Silver Emperor. I'll remember you again. Secret Room Douluo count +10086!
In a damp, shadowy cave not far from Holy Soul Village, a Blue Silver Grass seemed to feel a bitter, icy wind sweeping toward it. The entire plant began to sway and shudder, as if it might be blown over at any moment.
Once he'd finished saving them, Wu Xing looked around. Apart from Ning Rongrong, why were there only eight pictures?
Hadn't eleven beauties joined the group? Which two hadn't sent theirs?
Wu Xing glanced over the chat and understood at once. So Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, mother and daughter, hadn't joined in.
What a pity. He'd wanted to collect those too as a special edition, so he could give them to the readers back on Blue Star after he returned.
He sighed to himself, and his expression gradually cleared. He regained his air of stern righteousness and quickly sent a message to the chat group.
[Wu Xing: What do you think you're doing? Do I look like that kind of group leader?]
[Wu Xing: Retract every last picture, right now! The purpose of this group is to give everyone a place to speak freely, not to post lowbrow pictures like these. We have to maintain a healthy and civilized environment!]
[Wu Xing: So I hope that from now on, everyone...]
[Xue Qinghe: This is my younger sister's. Glowing holy-light stockings, beautiful legs JPG.]
[Notification: Xue Qinghe withdrew a message...]
