Yue Buqun had become like this, and Li Hong felt deep sorrow. After all, no matter what, he was a figure of his generation, yet unexpectedly, he had fallen into the pit of cross-dressing.
"Master Yue, can you please tell me why you are wearing women's clothing?" Li Hong asked.
Yue Buqun's expression changed abruptly, as if he did not want to answer the question. He tossed the women's clothing into Li Hong's hands and silently left the place.
"Uh... why did he just leave? This sudden change is really something else," Li Hong was taken aback by Yue Buqun's actions.
"Actually, I know," Yue Ling Shan entered after Yue Buqun left and spoke to Li Hong.
Li Hong glanced at her curiously and asked, "What exactly happened to Master Yue? Why has his temperament changed so drastically?"
Yue Ling Shan quietly looked around to ensure no one was eavesdropping before she spoke. "It's all because of my father. He insisted on going to Hengshan Sect to congratulate Liu Zhengfeng on his retirement. Who would have thought that when he came back, he would turn into this? My mother couldn't stand it and ran off with the Senior Brother."
"What? Your mother ran off with Linghu Chong?" Li Hong was instantly flustered; this was such a chaotic plot twist.
It was one thing for Yue Buqun to become a cross-dressing master, but why had Linghu Chong also turned into a seductive scoundrel who was chasing after the Master's Wife?
"Wait a minute, you don't mean..."
Li Hong took several steps back from Yue Ling Shan, feeling uneasy.
With The Smiling, Proud Wanderer having turned out like this, who knew if Yue Ling Shan would also fall into darkness?
Seeing Li Hong retreating, Yue Ling Shan's face flushed red as she stomped her foot in anger. "What nonsense are you talking about! I haven't been influenced by them at all!"
"That’s hard to say; who knows if there's some strange creature lurking in your heart."
Li Hong looked at Yue Ling Shan, pondering for a moment before saying, "Speaking of which, you just told me about your family's embarrassing matters without fear of losing face?"
Yue Ling Shan shook her head, her lips pressed together lightly. After a long pause, she finally spoke, "Actually, I was hoping you could help me."
"I help you? You don't even know me, and yet you trust my character this much?" Li Hong chuckled suddenly, surprised at how solid his reputation seemed to be.
Even a girl he had just met was willing to entrust her life to him.
"Because among so many people, it seems like you're the only one who is somewhat normal," Yue Ling Shan said earnestly.
Li Hong was left speechless.
What on earth had happened in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer? Why had being a normal person become such a rarity?
"What is going on in this world?" Li Hong nodded, agreeing to Yue Ling Shan's request.
After all, if he wasn't mistaken, the reason The Smiling, Proud Wanderer had turned out this way was closely related to that Private Server. Since that was the case, he definitely needed to address this issue.
"I don't know what happened either. It seems like overnight, everyone started liking cross-dressing. Even my senior brother no longer likes me; he's busy learning embroidery from our mother. My father is ambitious but sneaks out at night wearing women's clothes around Mount Hua. The worst is that old man from Back Mountain Reflection Cliff who actually stole my clothes to wear and I caught him in the act..."
As Yue Ling Shan recounted her story, Li Hong finally began to understand the situation here.
In simple terms, before Liu Zhengfeng of Hengshan Sect washed his hands of the martial world, it was still the passionate realm it had always been.
But ever since Liu Zhengfeng stepped back from the scene, everything changed. The ugly trend of men wearing women's clothing began to spread throughout the martial world.
Yue Ling Shan, even now, had to wear women's clothing to attend court.
Such a mad change swept across the entire world, but there was only one person who remained unaffected: Yue Ling Shan.
"If it's you who remains unaffected, I can understand that," Li Hong said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"Why? Do I have something different?" Yue Ling Shan asked curiously.
Because your husband is gone!
Because your father is gone!
The only man close to her who escaped this fate was Linghu Chong; all the others had been affected! With such a strong eunuch aura and the aura of wearing women's clothing, how could it possibly influence you?
Well, Li Hong naturally didn't dare to speak the truth and could only lie, saying, "That's because you look like a celestial being descended to earth; a fairy wouldn't be affected."
"Stop it, you're just flattering me..." Hearing Li Hong praise her like that, Yue Ling Shan's face instantly turned red as she covered her face, unable to look at him.
"…"
If there weren't any bugs in this situation, Li Hong wouldn't believe it himself. His experience of being single for over twenty years told him that something was definitely off.
"404, what kind of tricks did you pull? Why does she look like she's lost her soul every time she sees me?" Li Hong asked the 404 above his head.
"Did you forget that you now have administrator attributes? Your charm is maxed out; it's not just for show. I forgot to tell you that this attribute is quite dangerous in a world where cross-dressing is everywhere."
"What danger? What the hell, don't scare me," Li Hong said, trembling at 404's words.
Having full charm and attracting female creatures was one thing. Could it be that even certain guys could be seduced?
"Otherwise, why do you think Yue Buqun left without a word? Not hitting you is already giving you face, yet you act like a bullied wife. Didn't you see the resentful look in their eyes after you asked that question?"
"Enough, enough, just stop," Li Hong hurriedly urged 404 to be quiet. If this continued, he wouldn't dare to sleep at night.
"This crab is so cute! It can even talk! Are you some kind of immortal? How did you end up with a talking crab?" Upon seeing Li Hong arguing with a crab, Yue Ling Shan's eyes lit up.
A talking crab, how rare!
"I am the great Lord 404, girl, do not..."
Before 404 could finish its threatening words, Yue Ling Shan stepped forward and yanked 404 down from Li Hong's head.
"Hey, what's your name? That's such a strange name!" Yue Ling Shan flipped 404 over and over, curiously commenting.
At that moment, 404 could no longer suppress its fury.
Damn woman! It was 404 River Crab, an invincible master of the internet, and she dared to toy with it in her hands.
Go to hell, woman!
Taking advantage of Yue Ling Shan lifting it up, 404 suddenly flailed its claws forward.
A gentle breeze swept by, as if a powerful being had cast a spell of paralysis. The two of them, along with the crab, stood frozen in place, their expressions awkward.
Li Hong stared blankly at the large crab, caught in a rather embarrassing position in front of Yue Ling Shan, letting out a long sigh.
So, after so many years of being a river crab, you finally messed up, huh?
Yue Ling Shan snapped back to reality, gasping in shock as she flung the crab away from her hand. With her arms crossed and a furious blush on her face, she exclaimed, "Shameless, lewd, despicable, perverted dead crab!"
The crab flipped over on the ground and began to crawl up Li Hong's jeans. As it climbed, it muttered angrily, "You dead woman, utterly unreasonable. It looks so big, yet it’s just empty space. How dare you criticize me when you’re the one without any shame!"
"You... you dead crab, I'll kill you!" Hearing the crab's complaints ignited Yue Ling Shan's fury. She drew the longsword hanging at her waist and prepared to deal with it.
Li Hong quickly grabbed the crab from his pants leg and lifted it to his head, allowing it to hide in his hair before blocking the enraged Yue Ling Shan.
