20. A Different Yan Chuyue
“Where are they?”
The various sect spies, pretending to be passersby, were dumbfounded.
They had locked onto several unidentified men exiting the auction house’s main gate—as for why they didn’t guard the back, that involved complex game theory.
They had seen a petite young man in a white cloak approach their target, thinking they had a lead, but in the blink of an eye…
Where did they go!?
“It’s an Invisibility Talisman!”
Someone in the crowd reacted and hurriedly pulled out a Dispelling Talisman. But just as they were about to use it, several pieces of paper fluttered down from the sky.
One of them saw what was drawn on the paper and immediately started having a nosebleed.
Oh my…
This was too stimulating!!!
The drawing depicted two pigs engaged in a compromising position. Their plump bodies, pink skin, and suggestive poses depicted the unity of life, the highway of life.
A single page revealed the true desires hidden beneath a sanctimonious facade, a Freudian paradise of lust.
“There’s even this position?”
“Fellow Daoist, you don’t understand. This is called xxxx.”
“This Fellow Daoist seems quite knowledgeable about such matters. Why don’t you analyze the technique here?”
“What? Isn’t it just two pigs… Whoa!!!”
This absurd scene made Gong Yiling, the culprit, twitch her lips.
Although she knew from the description that the second effect of the anti-mother weapon would be visually striking…
But this was…
Too much…
“What did you draw?”
Yan Chuyue, hidden in the alley, blushed at the vulgar comments. “Why are they talking nonsense?”
“Just two pigs,” Gong Yiling replied honestly.
Considering her terrible drawing skills, what else could she draw? The second effect of the anti-mother weapon didn’t specify what qualified as lewd.
As long as the intent was there, anything could be lewd.
“Two pigs can make them react like this?”
“It means they’ve been cultivating for too long, and their suppressed desires for the great harmony of life have been suddenly awakened. They’re aroused by mere pigs.”
Gong Yiling tugged at Yan Chuyue’s sleeve. “Don’t tell me you want to take a look too?”
“No!”
“Then let’s go.”
…
…
Thanks to the “Doujinshi King” effect, they quickly escaped to a safe place using the Invisibility Talismans and removed their disguises.
Gong Yiling simply took off her cloak, while Yan Chuyue ducked into a corner and changed into a plain set of women’s clothes, her appearance still unremarkable.
“How did you know I was the one bidding against you for the Spirit Phoenix Feather?” Yan Chuyue’s voice changed subtly, different from both the first time and the recent encounter.
It seemed using voice recognition as an excuse wouldn’t work now.
“Intuition.”
“Intuition?” Yan Chuyue scrutinized Gong Yiling, frowning slightly. “Strange, does Jiang Chenmo have this kind of disguise…?”
Her latter words were so soft that Miss Gong only caught snippets: Jiang, disguise, something.
A random thought popped into Gong Yiling’s head: “Do you want to eat ginger with elephant?”
Yan Chuyue instinctively replied, “Elephants are protected animals.”
Protected animals?
This novel term sounded like something from modern times. But Yan Chuyue was indeed a transmigrator from modern times, so it was normal for her to say such things.
She decided to play dumb. “What are protected animals?”
“Uh… how do I explain this…?”
While trying to explain the concept of protected animals, Yan Chuyue was also pondering something.
Where was Jiang Chenmo?
According to the novel, she should have met a critically injured Jiang Chenmo two months ago, saved him with her healing technique, and started a budding romance.
And today, when she was being followed and surrounded by over a dozen sects, was supposed to be Jiang Chenmo’s second appearance.
However, something had changed, creating a subtle deviation between the world in the book and this world.
Jiang Chenmo was missing!
Although she didn’t care much about the male lead, the deviation from the original plot was puzzling.
That’s right.
The current Yan Chuyue wasn’t the original Yan Chuyue from the book.
Her real name was Gong Youyuan.
She still didn’t know why she had transmigrated here. Her last memory was of rushing a deadline.
Rushing, rushing, rushing the manuscript.
And then, she opened her eyes to find herself in the world of her own novel.
Initially, everything followed her plot, including outsmarting the evil sister, playing tricks on the stepmother, and so on. But one thing had deviated inexplicably.
The appearance of Jiang Chenmo.
However, the events she encountered hadn’t strayed too far from her expectations. It was just that the male lead had fallen into some unknown pit.
Today’s events were truly baffling.
First, the Spirit Phoenix Broom appeared at the auction when it shouldn’t have. Then, a mysterious person outbid her for it and helped her escape the dangerous situation that the male lead was supposed to resolve.
Could it be that there was a bug in the world, causing Jiang Chenmo to be killed by the Blood Orchid Palace? And to fix the missing male lead bug, the system sent this completely unknown person?
Thinking this, Gong Youyuan couldn’t help but glance at the person’s face.
Compared to the domineering and ruthless CEO-type male lead like Jiang Chenmo, she preferred this gentle and refined-looking man.
If this was the system’s compensation for her missing male lead, it was acceptable. The rest depended on whether he could surpass the male lead in her book.
Well, the male lead in her book was actually quite a jerk.
“What are you looking at?” Gong Yiling, seeing the girl staring at her face, wondered if she had something on it.
“Ah… nothing.” Yan Chuyue quickly shook her head, then remembered their previous topic about protected animals.
“Simply put, protected animals are animals you can’t eat.”
“…Is there any difference between that and no explanation?”
“That’s why I said ‘simply put.’ If I were to explain it in detail, I could write several pages for you.”
Gong Yiling: “…”
She couldn’t shake the feeling that this Yan Chuyue was… strange…
