What should a spoiled brat do?
A low-class playboy, spending his time walking his dog and playing with birds, doing nothing, just like Pang Yu.
A typical playboy, he harasses respectable women, frequents brothels, and is utterly ignorant and incompetent.
Even if a high-class playboy is ignorant and spends his days indulging in pleasure, as long as he is handsome and dashing, there will still be people who like him.
To put it bluntly, it's all about looks.
A high-class playboy from a wealthy family will first have unavoidable connections with the original owner's family; secondly, he will face various beauties who will provoke him.
Moreover, the original owner was a wealthy womanizer.
These two points alone gave Yan Liang a headache and made his whole body ache.
The original owner went on a picnic and encountered robbers on the way. Although he did not die at the hands of the robbers, he slipped while running away, hit his head on a rock, and died instantly.
When Yan Liang learned the reason, he felt very sorry for the unfortunate child. It was so heartbreaking that he died so young.
The original owner's name was Chi Xiuyuan, and his dying wish was to wipe out the bandits in the mountains. Before his death, he thought of nothing but revenge.
In fact, Yan Liang didn't need to do this. The Chi family was furious because their eldest son was injured, and they gave the prefect a large sum of money to suppress the bandits. When he woke up, the bandit leader who had killed countless people had already been arrested and imprisoned, awaiting execution in the autumn.
Yan Liang felt useless. While recovering from his injuries, he did his best to deal with the condolences and concerns of Chi's parents and younger siblings. During this time, the servant who accompanied Chi Xiuyuan in his fooling around mentioned many times that a certain beauty was very worried about him, hinting that he should write a letter to comfort her or give her some money.
Yan Liang chose to give nothing, and spent the month recuperating in the Chi family mansion, subtly instilling in them his disillusionment with the world and his belief that beautiful women are all just skeletons after this ordeal.
This transformation was clearly good for a high-class playboy, and the Chi family was happy to see it and were overjoyed by it.
When Yan Liang recovered from his injuries and went out, he encountered beautiful women blushing and staring at him every time he walked around the streets. He resigned himself to his fate and explained everything to these ladies.
The reason is the same, believe it or not.
Yan Liang was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless.
The girls who had long harbored feelings for Chi Xiuyuan were heartbroken. They greeted him with smiles but chased him away with tears. Yan Liang's reputation as a "scumbag" spread far and wide.
A month later, under the guise of cleansing his soul and traveling around the world, Yan Liang moved out of the Chi family as he wished and returned to his old profession.
Although Chi Xiuyuan was the eldest son, he only cared about having fun. Chi's parents were also very open-minded; their second son had a talent for business and was the future head of the Chi family. Almost all of Yan Liang's requests were fulfilled. Their only request for him to leave home this time was to write letters on time.
Yan Liang felt conflicted. He had never been asked such a thing by his "family" before. Such a kind and warm request... had nothing to do with his past self.
Despite feeling uncomfortable, he still wrote a reply carefully after finding a place to stay temporarily and had it sent back.
It was a temporary stay, meaning I was staying at an inn. I could travel around, enjoying the scenery and having a carefree time.
Chi Xiuyuan was preoccupied with having fun and didn't care about anything else, completely unaware of the affairs of the martial world and the imperial court. Yan Liang wandered around aimlessly, hearing mostly news from the martial world, and gradually came to understand the background of the martial world in this world.
The orthodox Shaolin, Wudang, Qingcheng, and Five Sacred Mountains sects, and the demonic Sun Moon Sect, are locked in a cycle of revenge and irreconcilable enmity.
There were too many people from different factions, and Yan Liang only remembered a general outline. However, perhaps he had a knack for attracting suspicious people; he didn't cause trouble, but trouble came to him.
Yan Liang returned to his old profession, holding a fortune-telling banner and solemnly shouting "One divination, five coins!" His unique style attracted quite a few customers.
After seeing off a female martial arts expert who could predict marriage, Yan Liang was once again troubled by the unwanted romantic advances his face had attracted.
As he was feeling melancholy, someone tapped on the table. Yan Liang first noticed the person's well-defined hands, then looked up at the person tapping the table.
The person looked down at him, and perhaps because the sunlight was too dazzling, Yan Liang squinted slightly before he could see the person's face clearly.
She was... a woman wearing heavy makeup?
Yan Liang smiled and said, "Is this young lady here to have her fortune told? I can do face reading, fortune telling, and marriage predictions."
The young woman seemed taken aback by his words, then sat down in the chair placed in front of the table. After settling down, she stared at Yan Liang and asked him, "What can you tell from a face reading?"
Yan Liang felt that the scene was strangely familiar. He looked at the other person's face with a normal expression, but unfortunately, there was too much makeup, and all he could see was a pale white face.
Even though Yan Liang was completely clueless about makeup, he could tell that this girl was obviously not very good at applying makeup. Her eyebrows and eyes were not delicate but had plenty of heroic spirit, and her facial features were sharp. Upon closer inspection, however, he realized that she was a man.
Yan Liang: "..."
He coughed and said, "I can tell that the young lady isn't very good at applying makeup."
The young lady—Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, “That’s right.”
He had heard a few days ago that a fortune teller had come to the city. Whether his predictions were accurate was hard to say, but everyone agreed that he was as handsome as Pan An.
The fact that he became a fortune teller at such a young age is intriguing. Dongfang Bubai castrated himself to cultivate the Sunflower Manual because of Ren Woxing's suspicion. After mastering it, although he imprisoned Ren Woxing in the West Lake Water Prison and became the leader of the Sun Moon Cult, his mentality underwent a strange change.
At this moment, he had just realized his own transformation. When Dongfang Bubai looked at young and beautiful women, he felt jealous, envious of what they possessed that he lacked. He even unconsciously adopted a woman's perspective when looking at men.
Dongfang Bubai had observed the fortune teller for several days. He was indeed handsome, and always treated everyone with a gentle and kind demeanor. Gentle people always attract others, and Dongfang Bubai had already developed a bit of curiosity about this man.
The purpose of this trip was to see just how capable this fortune teller was. Dongfang Bubai didn't expect this man to be able to rattle off a long string of words; it would be strange if he could actually say a lot.
But Yan Liang was somewhat surprised to say that he was not very good at makeup and therefore called Dongfang Bubai.
He has been dressed like this ever since he left Blackwood Cliff. The people at the branch altar dare not question it, and the passersby on the street will not expose it. So far, the only one who has openly pointed it out is Yan Liang.
Yan Liang saw the girl smile, seemingly surprised, yet also pleased.
I felt a chill run down my spine, as if I had said something terrible.
"Does the young lady have any other questions? Trust me, you won't regret it." Yan Liang adopted the most sincere attitude he ever showed to a customer.
"It's gone."
Dongfang Bubai spoke in a calm tone.
“...Then, one divination is worth five coins.”
Yan Liang hinted at it to him.
Dongfang Bubai paused for a moment, then took out a silver ingot and handed it to the other party.
This person had a face that looked like that of a sage, and an otherworldly air about him. He almost subconsciously assumed that this person was detached from worldly affairs and regarded gold as dirt.
Yan Liang felt increasingly that the way the girl in front of him was looking at him was strange.
"May I have your name?"
Dongfang Bubai asked again.
"Yan Liang..."
Yan Liang hesitated for a second between using his real name and the original owner's name, but ultimately chose to use his own name.
He didn't want to live in someone else's place, but he did indeed use someone else's body.
"May I ask your surname, young lady?"
Adhering to the principle of reciprocity, Yan Liang composed himself and asked him with a smile.
"No need for formalities, my surname is Dongfang."
The girl from the East didn't reveal her full name. Although Yan Liang knew she was a man, he figured there must be a reason why she dressed as a woman—who wouldn't want to be a cross-dresser? In any case, it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't point it out, but still addressed her as "girl" when she arrived.
After learning which inn he was staying at, Dongfang Bubai would occasionally visit him to show him the new cosmetics from the rouge shop. The two got along very well, at least outwardly.
When Dongfang Bubai came to him to look at rouge, Yan Liang really wanted to refuse. In his eyes, all the different lipstick shades in the modern world were the same color, nothing but red. Asking him to choose rouge was like asking the wrong person.
Dongfang Bubai's taste wasn't much better either; she bought piles of rouge and powder and smeared it all over her face. These two people, completely clueless about makeup, spent their days fooling around, and Yan Liang felt extremely distressed watching the money being spent in large sums.
Perhaps sensing Yan Liang's heartache, Heaven sent a humanoid self-propelled makeup machine.
"Young Master Chi, do you still remember me?"
The beautiful woman blushed with shyness, but Yan Liang coldly retorted, "Who are you?"
The beautiful woman couldn't hide her shock: "Young Master Chi, you've forgotten me? You clearly told me that, you said..."
Yan Liang chimed in: "Until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, only then will I part from you?"
The beautiful woman: "..."
How are we supposed to continue this drama?
Yan Liang glanced at the system panel, which the other party couldn't see. A new line of large, bold red text appeared on a loop: 【Don't let him get away.】
The system rattled off a rapid explanation in my mind: "[This person was swept into this place by a spacetime turbulence, and the technical department is currently repairing the passage. This guy likes to wander off, so keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't escape. Once the repairs are complete, send him back.]"
Yan Liang asked in surprise: "Him? He?"
The system was taken aback by the sudden use of English, and after a moment, it replied: "[Male.]"
Yan Liang looked at the beautiful woman with admiration. Compared to the Eastern girl, the woman before him was clearly a successful cross-dresser.
Wang Lianhua: "..."
Wang Lianhua arrived in this world due to an extremely rare storm, and has been here for two years. He never puts himself in an awkward situation, no matter where he is. Although this incident was quite unusual, Wang Lianhua still managed to thrive in this world thanks to his skills.
Chi Xiuyuan and one of his identities had once shared a pot of tea. At the time, Yan Liang was busy making appointments with various girls, and Wang Lianhua was too busy to attend to him, so she ignored him. Later, she heard that this person had severed ties with all his female confidantes.
Wang Lianhua's encounter with Chi Xiuyuan here was an accident, but her disguise as a woman to tease him was not an accident.
But it was truly unexpected that I failed to outwit him.
Especially when this person said "Who are you?" to him and "Until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, I will never part from you," he was unusually at a loss for words.
Yan Liang and Wang Lianhua looked at each other in bewilderment. Yan Liang thought for a moment and said, "May I ask your name, young lady? Tell me so I can think about it."
Yan Liang genuinely couldn't recall whose face it was. It was beautiful, but he wasn't interested. He'd only glanced at Chi Xiuyuan's memories of those beauties; he'd long forgotten them.
Wang Lianhua finally confirmed that this guy really didn't remember him.
Ha, this is the first time someone has been able to forget him after meeting him.
Wang Lianhua sneered at him and said, "Think for yourself."
Yan Liang: ...That's why I asked you, because I couldn't remember.
Author's Note: This time it won't be very long as it doesn't follow the main storyline.
Write about Dongfang Bubai and Wang Lianhua
I don't know if I can write down what's in my head, lol
Out-of-character (OOC) is unavoidable; I'll try my best not to write characters that are completely different from each other.
Everyone said the last chapter was too tragic... I'm sorry!!
But my barren brain back then was full of tragic endings (I'll see if I can come up with an extra chapter someday).
