A Gorgeous Young Wife Turned Into a Gorgeous Young Man? What an Earth-Shattering Bombshell!

Just as Tang Yan was about to keep asking the system about the even more explosive gossip to come...

He suddenly realized the entire hall had gone so quiet he could have heard a pin drop.

He swept a puzzled gaze over everyone and asked Xiao Jixue beside him in a low voice, "Senior Brother, why did it suddenly get so quiet?"

Had something huge happened while he was busy enjoying the gossip?

The corner of Xiao Jixue's mouth twitched. He wanted to speak, but held back.

At the head of the hall, Fu Shouci, who had been locked in a staring contest with Liang Qiu, mechanically turned his head forward inch by inch, his vacant eyes staring blankly into space.

His voice was so, so desolate.

"The Two-Sect Grand Competition will take place in one month, following the previously agreed rules..."

Tang Yan looked utterly puzzled. What's wrong with Master? Did that old fart Liang say something that hit him where it hurt?

Liang Qiu thought, This damned brat didn't just pry into my secrets.

As if slandering Yi'er wasn't enough, now he's slandering me too! Hmph!

Tang Yan's confusion lasted only a moment before he buried himself in the gossip again.

System, what's going on? Why is Liang Qiu's beloved Yi'er actually Master's lover, Bai Yi?

Didn't Bai Yi just tell Master not long ago that she was pregnant with his child? Master even took the opportunity to propose, didn't he?

How come she's pregnant with that old fart Liang's child now? Whose child is it, exactly?

Fu Shouci abruptly clenched his fists. Under immense mental torment, he continued stiffly explaining the competition arrangements.

At the same time, he focused all his attention and pricked up his ears, waiting for Tang Yan to continue.

Opposite him, Liang Qiu also unconsciously held his breath and concentrated, even instinctively ignoring Tang Yan calling him an old fart.

He wanted to see exactly what lies this hateful little brat would concoct about his Yi'er.

Yi'er was gentle, virtuous, and understanding. How could she possibly have him and still go seduce Fu Shouci?

Everyone else's eyes shone with excitement. The surge of adrenaline sent their hearts pounding.

They screamed frantically inside their heads.

Hurry up and tell us whose child it is! Aaaah!

This is way too juicy! °˖✧︎◝︎(⁰▿︎⁰)◜︎✧︎˖°

They probably hadn't taken in a single word Fu Shouci had said from the head of the hall.

With a clack, the teacup in Tang Yan's hand dropped onto the table, making an exceptionally crisp sound.

Seeing the burning gazes shooting toward him from all around, Tang Yan smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, it slipped. It slipped."

His clear voice carried an apology, but his inner voice was thick with disbelief.

What the hell?! The child isn't Master's or that old fart Liang's?! Could there be a third man? 〣( ºΔº )〣

"The rewards for the top three in the competition will be... will be..."

Fu Shouci's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally gave up and died.

He abruptly began to stammer, clenching his fists even tighter until his knuckles gave several barely audible cracks.

Liang Qiu's heart died too. His expression turned dark and grim, and a strange, cold smile curled his lips.

In truth, he already believed most of what Tang Yan had said.

He had lived with Bai Yi for ten years, and he was the only person who knew that Bai Yi had recently become pregnant!

The other gossip-hungry spectators in the hall thought, Holy shit! This just got even more explosive!

Ohhh, so that's how it is. Scared me to death! I thought Master had been cuckolded twice over. Turns out Bai Yi only hooked up with Master and Liang Qiu.

Fu Shouci thought, Why do I feel this strange sense of relief?

Liang Qiu thought, Well, that's not so bad!

The two had barely breathed sighs of relief before they looked at each other simultaneously.

Wait! Then whose child is it?

"Ahem, ahem!" Tang Yan's violent coughing rang in their ears.

Once again—for the umpteenth time—everyone in the hall turned their burning gazes toward him.

Tang Yan: "..."

Fuck! System, you useless piece of crap, why do you keep leaving out half the story?

Why didn't you tell me sooner that Bai Yi was a man? You made me choke on my tea... wait!!

What did you just say? Bai Yi is a m-man?! A gorgeous young wife turned into a gorgeous young man?? Holy shit! My brain's shriveling up! o_O???

The ending of Tang Yan's clear inner voice rose sharply in shock.

He pictured that gorgeous young man sporting two huge buns on his chest, smiling sweetly in front of Fu Shouci and Liang Qiu and forcing his booming voice into a coy little whine.

Unable to hold it in, he gagged.

Fuck! My eyes! Goddammit!

Fu Shouci stared blankly. Huh?! (‧_‧?)

Liang Qiu: ??? Bleurgh~~

Everyone else thought, Wow!! Isn't this way, way, way too fucking explosive?

Oh no, our minds have been defiled!

The elders and personal disciples from the Divine Medicine Sect couldn't help turning their gossip-hungry gazes toward Liang Qiu.

Who would've thought? Who would've thought you were that sort of person, Grand Elder?

So stern and rigid in public, but in private... hehehe~

Liang Qiu's eldest disciple, Hou Yan, stared blankly at his master's back, his mouth slightly open.

This was the elder he respected and loved like a father, but today...

Why did he feel as though something in his chest had shattered with a crack?

No, System, you're telling me a man is having a child? You're not pulling my leg, are you? Tang Yan was full of doubt.

Everyone else also thought, Exactly, exactly! How could a man get pregnant?

Huh? Bai Yi isn't pregnant at all? He faked the pregnancy to swindle spirit stones out of Master and that old fart Liang?

For these past ten years, Bai Yi played a gorgeous young wife with Master and a gentle, virtuous beauty with Liang Qiu? His true form is actually a male fox spirit skilled in transformations?

Holy shit, this male fox spirit is something else! He didn't give himself away in the slightest in front of two Void Insight Dao Venerables. Badass.

Fu Shouci and Liang Qiu looked at each other, both utterly bewildered.

They really hadn't noticed a single clue in all those ten years!

Tang Yan's brows and eyes lifted slightly.

When I first met Master, you told me his lover didn't truly care about him. I never imagined we'd dig up so much more afterward.

You really do need to install the National Anti-Fraud App. Look, even a mighty Dao Venerable who's dominated the world for years got scammed. For ten whole years, too—swindled out of his body, money, and heart. Haha.

As the saying goes, don't assume you'll never get scammed. You just haven't encountered the right scam for you yet.

Everyone else secretly nodded in agreement.

Feng Sheng gave an inward Oh, feeling enlightened.

Junior Brother makes so much sense!

So where can I get that National something Fried Ass thing?

I might not have much else, but I have plenty of money!

Scamming me out of my feelings is fine, but scamming me out of my money? Absolutely not!! I'll kill anyone who scams me!!

That was why she desperately needed one of those fried asses her junior brother had mentioned!
