Li Hong leisurely ascended Heimu Cliff, encountering not a single disciple of the Sun Moon Holy Cult to obstruct him.
"Is it summer vacation already?"
These extras were rather unprofessional. How could the Sun Moon Holy Cult, a prominent and vibrant organization in the martial world, be so negligent?
As Li Hong grumbled, he continued his trek to the summit.
Heimu Cliff was merely a hilltop. This indicated that those grandiose place names really didn't deserve much attention. It could just be another mound of earth.
"What do you think of my Heimu Cliff?"
"It's decent, has development potential. Hire a master for some blessings, promote it a bit, and turning it into a scenic area shouldn't be a problem..."
Halfway through his sentence, Li Hong sensed something was off.
Where did this person come from?
Turning around, he nearly jumped out of his skin.
Standing less than a meter behind him was an extraordinarily stunning woman. With golden hair pinned up and flowing black locks cascading down to her waist, she wore pure white garments that seemed untouched by any blemish. Her exquisite face bore an icy demeanor.
The cold pride in her brows added an unusual charm to her presence.
"And you are?" Li Hong stammered, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Damn it, he almost forgot this was the Martial Arts World where masters roamed freely.
How had someone approached him so stealthily? That was close!
He needed backup—Jungle Dad, come quickly!
The woman snorted coldly and spoke in a deep voice, "You come seeking me yet do not recognize me? How amusing. What is it that you seek? If you can provide me with some answers, I might spare your life. But if you’ve come here to seek death without reason, don’t blame me for being rude."
"Well, have you figured out one, two, three? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with that statement?" Li Hong muttered, looking at the woman mockingly.
The woman knew she had misspoken and that this guy had caught her slip. She coldly replied, "So what if you noticed? I can kill you as easily as slaughtering a chicken!"
"The Eastern Sect Leader really has a big mouth," Li Hong scoffed.
As soon as the woman appeared, Li Hong recognized her. He also understood why he had walked up Heimu Cliff without encountering any disciples of the Sun Moon Holy Cult.
Dongfang Bubai, the Eastern Sect Leader!
The Eastern Sect Leader's expression darkened, her brows furrowing tightly as she asked in a low voice, "How did you find out?"
Isn't it just a time traveler? What's so special about that?
Li Hong sneered at the Eastern Sect Leader's reaction, thinking she really believed she was well hidden.
"I won't tell you that it was 404 who informed me," Li Hong thought to himself.
Indeed, after Dongfang Bubai showed up, 404 had told Li Hong about his discovery.
This person before him was actually a time traveler.
He just didn't know which world she had come from.
Time travelers are no big deal. Li Hong felt quite calm; after all, he had encountered several types of them before.
Of course, Li Hong's calmness was also related to his current status as an administrator. That's right; I'm not just any player; I'm on G-Class. You think you can mess with me?
Looking at Li Hong's tattered jeans and worn-out shoes, along with his Happy Sheep shirt, Dongfang Bubai asked in surprise, "You also came from the modern world?"
"What else? Do you think time travelers can only come from the first century? Those ancient relics wouldn't be useful even if they traveled here," Li Hong explained.
Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly and then her expression softened a bit as she said, "Since we come from the same place, I'll let you go this time. But if you dare to offend me again..."
A flash of cold light appeared, and a short sword suddenly emerged at Li Hong's neck.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're cheating! Dongfang Bubai uses a sewing needle!" Li Hong pretended to be terrified.
"I'm not called Dongfang Bubai; I was never Dongfang Bubai," the Eastern Sect Leader said coldly as he retracted the short sword.
Li Hong was taken aback. Wait, did he just change his character on the spot?
Seeing the confusion in Li Hong's eyes, the Eastern Sect Leader calmly replied, "Even if this is The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, I am not Dongfang Bubai. Dongfang Bubai is dead; I am Eastern Maiden."
"Pfft..."
Li Hong was still in shock!
Rebooting... please wait!
Failed to reboot; please replace your phone!
"Wait a minute, since you know this is the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, how can you arbitrarily change your character? You clearly crossed over into Dongfang Bubai's body; why won't you admit it?" Li Hong tried to bring this forgetful leader back to reality.
This traveler must be crazy! Other people who crossed over just inherited their original names. Some even went so far as to take on the names of the original's sister, wife, or daughter. But here, he didn't even need a name?
"Are you mocking me?" A cold glint flashed in the Eastern Sect Leader's eyes.
Having crossed into The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, he already felt helpless enough. But to his surprise, his original identity was that infamous fake woman, Dongfang Bubai!
Since then, the Eastern Sect Leader had changed his name to Eastern Maiden. As a traveler, he simply could not bear to be called Dongfang Bubai.
It was one thing to joke about being called Dongfang Bubai; it was another to actually become Dongfang Bubai—he still couldn't accept it.
Because there was really nothing down there...
Li Hong genuinely felt sympathy for this guy in front of him.
"Brother, take it easy. Becoming Dongfang Bubai was destined to happen. It's just that you lost a part down there; at least you can still experience what it's like to be the darling of the martial world," Li Hong tried to comfort the unfortunate man before him.
The Eastern Sect Leader scoffed, "Destined? Then why didn't you become a eunuch when you crossed over?"
"…"
Am I going to be killed for being a special case?
As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm.
Both are traversers, so why could Li Hong keep his lower half while he, the Eastern Maiden, could not?
The more he thought about it, the colder the light in the Eastern Sect Leader's eyes became. He even had the thought of cutting this guy in front of him.
Li Hong inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine. This guy isn't really thinking of cutting me, is he?
"You can't become a eunuch; readers would curse at that," 404 reminded.
"Oh, then let's skip that part."
Done, the Eastern Sect Leader turned to leave. He really didn't want to see this guy; every time he saw Li Hong, he felt the unfairness of fate.
"Wait, don't go! I really came to discuss something with you!" Li Hong said, covering his groin… oh no, he meant to say it with righteous indignation.
"What could you possibly have? Is it about what happened before?" The Eastern Sect Leader turned back with a teasing look in his eyes.
Li Hong was taken aback by this remark. What had happened before?
"Have you forgotten so soon? Aren't you my husband?" The Eastern Maiden said with a smile.
However, from his smile, Li Hong sensed a hint of danger.
This is bad; this eunuch is probably genuinely angry.
Li Hong suddenly felt that things were incredibly tricky, but the task assigned to him by 404 could not be ignored.
Thus, Li Hong could only force a smile and say, "This is just a joke, Master. Please don't take it to heart. I'm here to ask you, in this world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, what does the sudden popularity of cross-dressing have to do with you?"
"Do you think I did it?" Eastern Maiden narrowed her beautiful eyes, her voice cold and laced with killing intent.
Li Hong smiled slightly. "It's not a matter of thinking; it's a certainty."
Previously, Li Hong had wanted to check on the situation at Hengshan Sect. But now, without needing to guess, he already knew that everything here was orchestrated by this eunuch before him.
As a transmigrator, one couldn't get by without a Cheat Code.
Perhaps this Master before him had acquired a Cross-Dressing System?
