Silence... A long, awkward silence filled the room as two pairs of eyes looked at each other.

While Yang Ze was patting himself on the back for coming up with such an awesome pick-up line, Xiao Ruolan was pinching herself, wondering if she had drunk too much and was now seeing and hearing things.

The Yang Ze she knew would never dare to speak such crude words.

Yang Ze, on the other hand, felt his confidence reach the moon when he saw her stunned expression. In his mind, his pick-up line left her speechless.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he gritted his teeth before taking a step forward, arriving in front of her. It was the perfect time to strike while the iron was still hot.

He just stood there with a smile as he slowly reached for his hair, combing it back gently with his right hand as his eyes were fixated on Xiao Ruolan. He wanted to show off his spectacular appearance under the sunlight, but unfortunately, he had forgotten that at the moment, he was wearing a mask.

In Xiao Ruolan's eyes, he looked to be a man in his late thirties who was striking poses like a wild monkey. She just looked at him in amusement as a slight smile appeared on her emotionless face.

She didn't know why he was acting this way, but it must be due to the injuries to his soul. She didn't stop him... The Yang Ze she knew was a quiet, meek and indecisive person. Though he had his qualities and she liked his quiet company... watching him act this way was just too much fun.

Looking at her smile, Yang Ze was already full of pride. In his mind, it was due to the dimensional gap in their understanding that it was so easy to impress the women of this world.

"These women are so gullible and innocent." For a moment, he felt guilt over trying to trick these women using modern Earth's tactics. But thinking about how it was only possible due to his charm, he threw out the idea of stopping.

"My... If you don't stop smiling, I think I will break through from the excitement alone."

"Pfff....."

"HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA."

It was at this moment that an ear-piercing laughter echoed in the house.

Yang Ze stood there awkwardly with a hint of anger on his face. Which bastard dared to mess up such a good thing? Just a few more punchlines, and he would have carried this wonderful woman to his bed. But now... now all of it was ruined because some idiot decided to laugh at such an inappropriate moment.

With eyes filled with anger and a belly full of curses, he turned around, about to unleash a barrage of insults and curses, but before he could even utter a single sentence, his words got stuck in his throat and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

In front of him was a woman no less beautiful than Cang Yue and Xiao Ruolan, with a playful smile on her face. She was leaning on the wall next to her with the help of her shoulder as her eyes were fixated upon him.

Lin Yue initially was feeling guilty and wanted to make amends with Yang Ze, but who would have thought that she would be greeted by such flowery words. Just like Xiao Ruolan, it didn't take her too long to realise why it was happening.

And just like Xiao Ruolan, she had no intention of stopping it. She wanted to see this little bastard embarrass himself further.

In the future, when he gets back to his usual self, it would be fun to bring it up. She couldn't help but wonder what his reaction would be.

Yang Ze, on the other hand, was taken aback by her sweet laughter.

Immediately clearing his throat, he took a step forward with the most gentle smile that he could muster before speaking in a soft voice.

"Ah… so this is why Heaven invented laughter… so that someone like you could bless the world with it."

"....." Yang Ze's words brought an abrupt halt to Lin Yue's laughter as she looked at him in disbelief. This bastard was truly getting more and more daring. If she didn't know any better, she would have thought that it was a different man pretending to be Yang Ze.

"Pfff...." However, the moment her laughter stopped, Xiao Ruolan couldn't hold it anymore. She finally burst out in laughter.

With a hand on her face, trying to hide her laughter as she tried to put on that serious expression again, while failing miserably. Her appearance caused great waves in Yang Ze's heart.

In that instant, he had fallen in love with her.

He had already imagined what his future was going to be and the names for their children.

"Hmph!" It was Lin Yue's cold snort that brought him back to his senses.

Yang Ze then first looked at Lin Yue to his right, then at Xiao Ruolan at his left, before shaking his head with a helpless smile as his gaze turned to the sky while he put both hands to his back and assumed the posture of an expert.

"Ah, so this is fate! One beauty makes the world brighter… but two? This must be a celestial trial to test my self-control."

He then took a step forward to change his position before letting out a gentle smile.

"Look! A perfect triangle. You two at the apex, me at the centre… balanced yin and yang. How auspicious. How romantic."

Lin Yue finally couldn't take it anymore. Earlier, she thought it would be fun, but the more she saw him act this way, the more she felt her skin crawl.

She definitely didn't want to deal with the current him.

"Oka,y enough." She shouted in a cold voice as her face returned to her previous arrogant and cold expression.

"R-Right, enough for now. Wouldn't want to overwhelm you with my charm all at once." Yang Ze still had his head above the clouds. In his mind, she was just embarrassed.

"..." Lin Yue couldn't react for a moment before her face flushed with anger.

When was the last time someone talked to her this way? For a man to flirt with her using such crude words... she felt like her intelligence was being insulted.

She didn't say a word but took a step forward before appearing directly in front of Yang Ze.

"Umm!?" Before Yang Ze could realise what was going on, he felt Lin Yue clutching his neck as she lifted him up while he struggled to breathe.

He opened his mouth to take deep breaths, only for Lin Yue to look around in haste as if she were looking for something.

"Now, now... I know I am a handsome devil, but do you have to be so rough? Why not go to the bedroom where we can share our joy and sorrow together?"

These words were the last straw that broke the camel's back. Lin Yue couldn't hold it anymore. She was trying to find something to shut his mouth, but these words of his were like adding fuel to the flame.

In rage, she just took off her white stocking before crumpling it into a ball and, under Yang Ze's shocked and angry gaze, stuffed it in his mouth.

"Ummmmm.... UMMMMMM..."

Feeling the brought fabric taste in his mouth as well as the lingering residual heat from Lin Yue's body that was still in the stocking, Yang Ze shook his head even more violently, wanting to spit it out. He even grabbed Lin Yue's hands before pinching them slightly, hoping to rescue himself from this predicament.

This only enraged Lin Yue further, who, gritting her teeth, took off her second stocking, grabbed Yang Ze's hands and then tied them behind his back using her stocking.

To make sure that he wouldn't be able to break free, she even used her Internal energy, making it impossible for Yang Ze, even with his foundation forging strength, to tear it apart.

"Finally... peace."

Looking at Yang Ze's figure with a stocking in his mouth and his hands tied behind his back, Lin Yue nodded in satisfaction. She never realised it before, but she preferred the usual quiet and meek Yang Ze compared to what she had in front of her.

Just a few minutes had almost driven her mad. She didn't dare to think what would happen if he kept on spouting all that nonsense.

"Ummm... UMMMM..." How could Yang Ze give up this easily? He kept on making those muffled sounds while slithering like a snake, hoping to use the ground to take out that stocking from his mouth.

Upon looking at him like this, Lin Yue headed back to her room before coming out with another pair of stockings that made Yang Ze almost faint from anger.

She had already stuffed one in his mouth and used the other to bind his hands. He didn't dare to think what she was going to do with two more.

Without waiting for him to react, Lin Yue picked him up before taking him back to his room.

Once inside, she used her two stockings to tightly tie both his legs to the corners of the bed. Making it impossible for him to move.

After making sure he wasn't going to cause any unnecessary trouble, she just turned around and, under Yang Ze's pleading gaze, walked out of the room before shutting the door. And with it, the faint muffles from Yang Ze's throat disappeared too.

"You didn't like it?"

The moment she stepped outside, Xiao Ruolan's smiling face came into view.

"Hmph!" Lin Yue just let out a cold snort. Of course, she didn't like it. Only someone with brain damage would like those stupid words coming out of his mouth.

She only felt a sense of disgust when she listened to his corny words.

"By the way, what have you thought about the so-called mission?"

Lin Yue didn't want to dwell on that little bastard anymore; she immediately changed the topic.

Jian Yu agreed to let the two of them join the Sword Sect, but under some conditions. They have to complete a few missions before they are eligible to join the Sword Sect.

"What is there to think?" Xiao Ruolan just tilted her head slightly before speaking further. "We need to join the sect, and for that to happen, we have to complete those missions."

Although they didn't know what the missions were or how difficult it was going to be, they had no choice.

"Speaking of missions and the Sword Sect..." Lin Yue paused as she looked around in confusion.

"Where is that saintess bitch?"

-------------

On the other side of the Duality Sect, inside the most luxurious manor, Cang Yue was sitting in front of Jian Yu as the old woman filled their cups with wine.

"So now..."

"Please start from when you entered the trial."

"Tell me everything that happened there..."
