All eyes fell on Yang Zhen, the sensation of countless stares boring into his back made his skin crawl with goosebumps.

Darn it, why hadn t he taken a good look before approaching? Now he’d embarrassed himself in front of a beautiful woman!

“Um…haha, no wonder I was drawn here by a bright aura from afar. Without realizing it, I started walking this way…”

Under the gleeful and mocking gaze of a group of men, Yang Zhen’s self­preservation instinct kicked in. Hurriedly, he used his sleeve to brush off the woman’s shoulder, and with a serious tone, said:

“In the grand scheme of things, it feels as though a red string named “destiny” pulled me toward you. Forgive me for being ignorant, I didn’t recognize your striking beauty. I mistook you for a dashing, heroic youth.”

With a perfectly timed sigh of relief, Yang Zhen clutched at his chest, the relief evident on his serious face.

“Just now, I was scared out of my wits. I thought my orientation was in question because I was attracted to, what I thought, was a man. My heart was racing, but now it’s all fine. It seems I was blinded by dust, not recognizing your resplendent beauty. Even the geese in the sky would refuse to fly upon seeing you, and the fishes in the water would shamefully sink to the bottom… Thank God, only a woman like this is the one true pursuit of a real man Everyone, please, carry on. Don’t let me, a humble admirer, distract you from your journey on the Spirit Road. Continue, continue…”

While speaking, Yang Zhen retreated to Bai Xuan and the others, adopting the stance of an old monk in meditation.

All around, people were speechless, looking first at him and then at the young woman who radiated such heroism, all equally dumbfounded.

It was shameless how Yang Zhen imposed his narrative in such a bold and compelling way. Of the men present, more than half wished they could duck out and watch developments unfold.

But what left everyone wide-eyed was how the woman, previously looking angry, gradually softened. Her clouded brows cleared, she hummed and murmured: “Rascal!”

The words were clear and smooth, without anger but instead hinting a slight shyness.

Especially when she heard the words ‘resplendent beauty’, and how even the birds and fishes would be ashamed to face her, a blush briefly crossed her face Despite the fleeting nature of the blush, those present were left thoroughly bewildered.

Among the twelve, a tall and handsome youth looked at Yang Zhen, with wide- eyed disbelief, and asked, “Who… Who is this guy?

A chubby boy nearby suddenly snapped out of his stupor and gasped in admiration at Yang Zhen. “Talent, pure talent! This is the first time Huang Mao has seen a man offend the Hongluan Spiritual Girl but not end up beaten down. One must get to know him, indeed one must!”

The handsome youth’s expression darkened, and he growled, “You, Huang Mao, think it’s worth your while to associate with a practitioner in the Void Cultivation Stage?”

Huang Mao rolled his eyes at him and scoffed, “What do you know? Maybe one day, my prospects for a partner will depend on this guy’s help. You, Young Master Fen, have pursued Hongluan Spiritual Girl for years, but have you ever made her smile?”

After speaking, Huang Mao chuckled slyly and added, “Let alone making her blush. Comparing you to this man, you, Young Master Fen, are like a toddler, not even able to speak coherently.”

“Humph!” Young Master Fen stared at Huang Mao with a gloomy expression and retorted, “Huang, are you asking for trouble?”

Huang Mao glanced at Young Master Fen, laughed, and replied, “No, no, I wouldn’t dare challenge you and your Earth Wheel Yin-Yang Sword! ”

Hongluan Spiritual Girl stood taller than most women, her stature equal to Yang Zhen’s. Her legs were exceptionally long and stunning. They were toned fine, and symmetrical which added to her heroic bearing.

Such a woman naturally did not use a hairstyle like a bun, common among other women, but chose a style that accentuated her tall stature. This was the primary reason for Yang Zhen’s initial mistake.

By the pitch-black Road of Heaven’s Destiny, the scene was eerily quiet for a moment. Only a few people were whisperalating, while most were still left agape, too stunned to react.

Next to the Hongluan Spiritual Girl, an petite lady chuckled out loud. She raised her head to look at the Hongluan Spiritual Girl and said, “Sister Hongluan, that man just now claimed to be one of your admirers, professing you were a young man. He even doubted himself… oh dear, it was truly amusing. You didn’t see him, when he realized you were a woman! He was relieved, and yet so delighted. It was truly amusing.”

Upon hearing this, Hongluan Spiritual Girl frowned, and retorted, “Xiu’er, stop talking nonsense. That fellow was merely finding a way to save face.”

Xiu’er giggled, whispering back, “Oh, Xiu’er thinks he was finding a way for you to save face!”

Hongluan Spiritual Girl’s face turned slightly red, so subtle that it was hardly detectable. She glared at Xiu’er, admonishing, “Stop your nonsense. You are to enter the Road of Heaven’s Destiny ahead of me.”

“No! Xiu’er cried fearfully, grabbing the sleeve of Hongluan Spiritual Girl and pleading, “Xiu’er admits her mistake.”

Like an old monk in meditation, Yang Zhen surveyed everyone’s facial expressions from the corner of his eye, breathing out a huge sigh of relief. Damn, that was almost a mess, he thought. Luckily the lady didn’t want the men to best her. Otherwise, it would have sparked quite a problem.

The cat’s eyes had never been so wide. With a face shocked beyond belief, he looked at Yang Zhen and exclaimed, “Damn, kid. I just realized you’ve taken shamelessness to a whole new level, no, you’ve downright pierced through Hell itself! Tsk tsk, you’re the first person I truly admire, how about that, surprise or not? Unexpected or not?”

“Get out!” Yang Zhen threatened the cat with a stolid expression, “I might have diarrhea tonight, and therefore will not be cooking.”

“Damn!” The cat yelled, pointing at Yang Zhen, “Kid, you can’t break your promise!”

Everybody got a shock from his sudden outburst, and all eyes turned in their direction.

Yang Zhen was furious. Pointing back at the cat, he yelled, “Damn, the Sao Saint has been low-profile for once, and you just have to start a fight!” “So what if I do?” The cat refused to back down, “An oathbreaker like you, talking about being low-profile, if you’re the lowest profile character around, wouldn’t I be even more anonymous and unnoticeable?”

Regardless, the Sao Saint happens to be the most low-profile person!” said Yang Zhen. Compared to him, the cat was a bit inferior, when it came to passing the buck.  ⁵

A group of people watched with their mouths agape as Yang Zhen and the cat, hands on hips, had a staring contest. They all looked utterly lost.

Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming looked at each other, shaking their heads with bitter smiles. Water Moon Spirit Lady harrumphed, then turned away. She stole a glance back at Yang Zhen, then looked at the dumbfounded faces all around. A suppressed smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Hongluan Spiritual Girl’s eyes lingered on Yang Zhen as well, and when she saw Yang Zhen behaving ridiculously even in argument with a cat, and then playing dirty after failed attempts to make a point, she couldn’t suppress a laugh. She hastily turned away.

Once she laughed, all eleven of the others looked at her, utterly astounded and incredulous.

Among the crowd, Little Fatty Huang Mao glanced at Young Master Fen, whose face was ashen, eagerly watching Yang Zhen and the mischievous cat. He mutterred, “Interesting indeed, that’s the kind of temperament we practitioners should have; not like certain people, pretending to be modest gentlemen while having ulterior motives.”

“You…” Young Master Fen coldly huffed, looking terribly upset. He swung his sleeve and walked towards Yang Zhen.

For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere became severe!
