Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Fengjiao must be a total cutie!
Curly-haired Guy: Holy crap, red packets!
Doujin Artist: Aaaah I need to wash my face right now!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Me too!
Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Everyone seems super excited about these red packets. Are they really that amazing?
Machete Girl: I’ve never opened one myself, but from what I’ve heard, you can get some really good stuff.
Soul Society’s Bad Guy: Konan got her Hyorinmaru from a red packet.
Wig Guy: You can even get Hyorinmaru from one?
Amegakure Village’s Angel: Mine wasn’t even that great. The ability Anran got from his was god-tier.
Doujin Artist: Right! It boosted sword training speed and sword power by several times—and it’s a permanent passive! Red packets are the best. One lucky pull and you’re rich!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Still depends on luck though. Airi-chan, did you forget about your 200-point disaster?
Doujin Artist: Shut it! Big sis has already changed her fate!
Amegakure Village’s Angel: So this time it’ll go from 200 points to... 2 points?
Doujin Artist: Konan-sis! Keep cursing me like this and I won’t like you anymore! I won’t be your wifey!
Curly-haired Guy: Hahaha, acting all high and mighty when you’re just a side chick?
Doujin Artist: Hah! The teddy-bear-pants destroyer dares to mock others? Go hug your bear pants and sleep!
Curly-haired Guy: What the hell is "teddy-bear-pants destroyer"?! Don’t go around making up weird nicknames, you psycho! That name sounds all kinds of wrong!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Speaking of dumb nicknames, no one’s worse than you... Gintoki.
Amegakure Village’s Angel: A classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Though to be fair, Anran’s nickname skills aren’t bad either.
"Red-faced Fairy."
Just thinking of that name made Li Mochou’s mouth twitch.
Seriously, how twisted do you have to be to come up with something like that?
This is an Actor: You flatter me.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: That was not a compliment!
This is an Actor: Oh, really? Then maybe I’ll announce it publicly to your whole martial arts world next time—like when you’re taking over the country?
Make you shout "Red-faced Fairy" yourself, loud and clear?
Doujin Artist: Pfft! Oh my god!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: If Anran actually did that, poor Mochou-sis would probably just die from embarrassment right there.
Red-faced Fairy: I was wrong! I *was* complimenting you!
Li Mochou was grinding her teeth in anger, but she had no way to fight back.
Even someone as stubborn as her couldn’t do anything against Anran’s twisted tricks.
This is an Actor: Don’t take it so seriously, I was only joking.
Do I look like the kind of person who’d actually do that?
Doujin Artist: Ahem, nope, doesn’t seem like him.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yeah yeah, there’s no way Anran-san would ever do something so evil! That’s just silly!
Curly-haired Guy: Of course—because he *is* the devil.
[Notice: Curly-haired Guy has been muted for 5 minutes]
[Notice: The group owner has deleted a member’s message]
Amegakure Village’s Angel: I saw that.
Soul Society’s Bad Guy: Me too.
Machete Girl: Shouldn’t we just pretend we didn’t see anything? Otherwise, we might get silenced.
Doujin Artist: You already said it out loud! You can’t pretend anymore! You’re done for, Yan Ye-chan! You’re getting eaten today—down to the last bite! Scared yet?
Lin Fengjiao: There are man-eating monsters in here?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Ari-chan, if you put it like that, Yan Ye-chan won’t be scared at all! She’ll actually *enjoy* it!
Machete Girl: En-enjoy it...? It’s not that big of a deal, okay...
Doujin Artist: It is kind of a big deal. Kotonoha-chan, you’re falling too fast! At least try to act a little reserved?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Ari-chan, you’re one to talk. Weren’t you the one who said you’d happily become a concubine?
Doujin Artist: No I didn’t! That was for Konan-neesan! It had nothing to do with Anran-san!
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Ruiko never said you could be Lord An’s side chick, Ari. That sounds like a confession.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Exactly! Caught yourself red-handed!
Doujin Artist: Aaaaah! You two teamed up to trap me?! What happened to sisterhood?!
This is an Actor: You guys are having so much fun chatting... did you forget something?
Anran figured it was time to step in—these girls were seriously getting out of hand.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: ?
Doujin Artist: Forget what?
This is an Actor: The new person—did anyone even welcome them?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Oh right! We have a newbie! I totally forgot!
Doujin Artist: Crap, I didn’t remember either!
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Me too. I was just watching you gossip.
Soul Society’s Bad Guy: The new person even asked a question earlier, and y’all just buried it with messages. Real nice.
Amegakure Village’s Angel: @Lin Fengjiao, still there? Welcome!
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Lin Fengjiao? Is that a real name?
Doujin Artist: Using your real name as your username? That’s a first in this group. But honestly, it does sound kinda pretty.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yeah, "Fengjiao" does have a nice ring to it.
Nice ring to it?
Anran’s mouth twitched. If he was right, this newbie was definitely not some sweet girl. In fact, not only not a girl—probably a stiff-faced middle-aged man.
But he didn’t say anything. He wanted to see how the new guy would play along.
Lin Fengjiao: Thank you, everyone. I’m Lin Jiu.
Machete Girl: Lin Jiu? Wasn’t it Lin Fengjiao?
Lin Fengjiao: That was my common name, which I haven’t used for years. Please just call me Lin Jiu. Thank you, everyone.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Common name? Are you a monk or something?
Lin Fengjiao: That’s right. I’m the 43rd-generation successor of the Maoshan sect.
Doujin Artist: Maoshan? What the heck is that?
Soul Society’s Bad Guy: Probably something like the martial arts sects in Mochou’s world?
Lin Fengjiao: You could call it a sect, but it’s not a martial arts one. Maoshan is a branch of Taoism — specifically, from the Shangqing school. Our job is to catch ghosts and demons to help the common people.
Amegakure Village’s Angel: Catching ghosts and exorcising monsters? Like an onmyoji or something? I thought Mochou was Taoist too. Why doesn’t she know these kinds of skills?
This is an Actor: Because Mochou is just a fake Taoist.
Doujin Artist: Oh, so this one’s the real deal? Bet this "real Taoist" is just as pretty as Mochou too, huh?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Nice! We’ve got another sister joining us!
Lin Fengjiao: Actually, I’m a man.
