Primordial Emperor

"What will you do afterward? Have you decided to show yourself as a woman?"

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui and asked casually.

Lin Chen was filled with concern for the beautiful Yang Minghui.

After all, even when presenting as a man, she was already drawing a lot of attention and being coveted by countless others.

If she returns to her female identity, trouble will surely follow.

"Rest assured, Senior Sister Zi Ling has promised to keep my secret. So don't go spreading it around. I still don't want to reveal myself as a woman."

Yang Minghui looked at Lin Chen and said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Lin Chen was suddenly displeased. What did she mean by saying Senior Sister Zi Ling promised to keep the secret but he shouldn't spread it around?

Does she really think Lin Chen is the type who loves to gossip?

"Yang Minghui, what do you mean by that? Do I seem like someone who would blab and spread your secret everywhere?"

"Do you not trust me, and think there's something wrong with my character?"

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui and said with a bit of speechlessness.

"Lin Chen, that's not what I meant, you know that."

Yang Minghui just wanted to remind Lin Chen but didn't expect such a strong reaction, suddenly feeling at a loss.

"What do you mean it's not like that? Think about what you just said. Didn't that imply you think I gossip and lack character, spreading this matter everywhere?"

"If you trusted me, there'd be no need to say anything more. You simply don't consider me a true friend."

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui, speaking earnestly.

Hearing such heavy words from Lin Chen, Yang Minghui grew even more anxious.

"It's not like that, really not..."

As Yang Minghui spoke, she was at a loss and started crying, her eyes swimming with tears, making one feel sorry for her.

"What are you doing, put away that stance, I'm not bullying you, stop crying, or do you want everyone to know about your female identity?"

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui, suddenly flustered.

Lin Chen was most afraid of women crying.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, Yang Minghui stopped sobbing, not wanting her female identity to be exposed.

"Then don't be mad at me, okay?"

Yang Minghui looked at Lin Chen and said with grievance.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was speechless. He was a grown man, and Yang Minghui hadn't done anything wrong, so why would he be mad?

"I say, Yang Fool, what do you take me, Lin Chen, for in your eyes? Would I get angry over such a trivial matter?"

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui and said, exasperated.

Hearing that Lin Chen wasn't angry, Yang Minghui immediately smiled again.

That stunning face coupled with that smile momentarily left Lin Chen in a daze.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Feeling Lin Chen's intense gaze, Yang Minghui blushed and asked.

"You… sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, I really don't know what to say to you."

Lin Chen didn't explain why he was staring at her, certainly not admitting he was momentarily moved just now.

It must be said, Yang Minghui was indeed extraordinarily beautiful, a beauty different from Liu Qingxia and in no way inferior to her.

"You know, you clearly are a woman, you can't present yourself as a man for your entire life."

"I know you have some issues with your cultivation technique, but hiding forever is not a solution."

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui and said softly.

"No worries, I've gotten used to presenting as a man. As you've seen, even when presenting as a man, sometimes trouble comes to me. Alas, it's a headache being too beautiful."

Yang Minghui looked at Lin Chen and said narcissistically.

"Haha, you're not lying about that. Even as a man, many people covet you. If you present as a woman again, who knows how many will go crazy over you."

Lin Chen shook his head, feeling Yang Minghui was truly a beauty that caused trouble.

"Haha, really? Go crazy over me? You knew I was a woman, but I've never seen you do anything crazy for me. Instead, you're always opposing me."

Yang Minghui looked at Lin Chen and said playfully.

In fact, she didn't even understand why she blurted out such words.

But deep down, she actually anticipated Lin Chen's response, wanting to know how Lin Chen would reply.

"Haha, go crazy for you? Do you think I, Lin Chen, who single-mindedly pursues the Martial Path, a man of seven-foot stature, would yield to romantic affairs and be addicted to beauty?"

"If I were really such a man, you would likely despise me too."

Lin Chen stood straight and said to Yang Minghui with a gentle tone.

At his words, Yang Minghui thought for a moment, feeling that Lin Chen was right.

If Lin Chen really were such a man, she indeed would despise him.

Though she didn't get the answer she hoped for, it was exactly because of this that Lin Chen differed from other men, catching Yang Minghui's eye.

At this moment, the last rays of the setting sun spilled across, illuminating Lin Chen's cheek, making his face glow.

Yang Minghui looked at Lin Chen, momentarily lost in thought.

She always resisted admitting she liked Lin Chen, but at this moment had to confess, Lin Chen's unique charm was very attractive to her.

Looking at him now, Yang Minghui didn't know what came over her, but she was fascinated by Lin Chen's aura, wanting to get closer, leaning against his shoulder.

However, at this moment, Lin Chen ignored Yang Minghui and instead placed his attention on the duel on stage.

If Lin Chen realized Yang Minghui's infatuated gaze, he might again mock her coldly.

Boom—

The sound of Su Yun being violently beaten by Zi Ling on the martial stage echoed, snapping Yang Minghui out of her daze over Lin Chen.

After regaining her senses, Yang Minghui's cheeks turned scarlet, wondering what had come over her earlier.

All of this was observed by Yu Weilian nearby, who couldn't help but smile...

Soon, Su Yun and Yang Ming were also violently beaten by Zi Ling, tossed like dead dogs off the martial stage.

As for Yu Weilian and Su Xiao, being women, Zi Ling was more lenient with them, similar to Yang Minghui, stopping before going too far.
