Skirt-Flipping Maniac: ?
Doujin Artist: Another one? Don't tell me this is also someone he just met?
Soul Society's Villain: No way. Definitely someone he's known for a long time. Otherwise, she wouldn't call him Brother An.
Machete Girl: Her accent is really weird. Sounds kind of like Chinese, but also not quite.
Because the group chat had an auto-translate function, everyone could understand Niangniang's words while also noticing her different accent.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: That's a Sichuan dialect.
Lin Fengjiao: Very authentic western Sichuan dialect, probably from the Guangyuan area.
Curly-haired Guy: Silver-san here has no idea what these place names mean! Can you guys use words a little more common, please?
Doujin Artist: This has nothing to do with being "common." It's just geography and culture. No matter how simple you put it, you still won't get it.
Curly-haired Guy: Damn it, so you're saying you understand it?
Doujin Artist: Western Sichuan, Guangyuan. Located on the northern edge of Sichuan Province, China. It's the transition zone from mountains to basin, with a subtropical humid monsoon climate.
Machete Girl: Wow! Eriri-chan, you're amazing. How do you know so much?
Doujin Artist: I googled it, silly.
Curly-haired Guy: What the hell! You're pretending to be smart just by using a search engine?
Doujin Artist: I wasn't pretending. You just don't want to look things up yourself and then blame me for not being "common enough."
Wig Guy: Let me explain. It's not that Gintoki doesn't want to search—he doesn't even have money for a phone. His whole paycheck goes to drinking with hostesses in Kabukicho. He's hopeless!
Curly-haired Guy: And you? Blowing all your money on DVDs—what right do you have to talk about me?
This is an Actor: You two are really something else.
Even Anzen was at a loss for words. These two clowns were such a perfect pair of fools, you'd never guess what they were thinking.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Stop going off-topic. Back to business.
Doujin Artist: Yeah. The biggest problem right now is this Niangniang. Anzen-san, when did you meet her, and why didn't we hear a thing?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: I didn't even know Anzen-san knew this Magic God!
Amegakure Village's Angel: Anzen-san, maybe you should explain this to everyone?
On the surface it sounded like a suggestion, but in truth, Konan was already burning with jealousy. Ever since she met Anzen, she hadn't even touched him once, and now this random woman just clung to him like that!
Totally unacceptable!
This is an Actor: She came to me on the second day I arrived here.
Doujin Artist: Ah, so it was a dark and windy night?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Just the two of you, alone in one room?
Machete Girl: No way, I'm already imagining the scene in my head.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Anzen-san, she didn't… do anything to you, right?
Soul Society's Villain: Konan, the yuzu in your hand just burst from how hard you're squeezing it. Are you even going to eat it anymore?
Doujin Artist: Oh man, Konan looks like she's about to snap!
This is an Actor: It was just some talk about cooperation, nothing more. Don't overthink it.
Anzen figured if they kept going, the topic would get dangerous, so he quickly shifted the conversation in real life. "Thanks for your hard work, Miss Niangniang. Nothing went wrong, right?"
"Nope." Niangniang shook her head, smiling brightly. "The thing you put in my body was really useful. Those fools didn't even put up a fight."
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Something placed inside the body?
Doujin Artist: No way, no way, you guys have gotten that far already?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Anzen-san, can you really face… all of us like this?
Saten Ruiko originally just wanted to say "me," but in the end still added a few more words.
Soul Society's Villain: Not bad, Konan. Your headbutts are pretty solid now, you can even smash a stone table.
This is an Actor: It's only sword energy. I used my own sword energy to strengthen her body, which made her treasures much stronger. Otherwise, on her own, she couldn't have taken down the rest of those demon gods.
The treasures here meant the tools that this corpse-immortal lady used.
Unlike the definition of magic treasures in other worlds, her treasures were actually part of her body. By washing and reinforcing her body with his sword energy, Anzen could increase their power.
With this boost, she was able to fight many at once and wipe out the other demon gods.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Anzen-san, you don't need to explain, I didn't take it the wrong way.
Silence.
The whole chat group fell into silence for a few seconds before the messages started scrolling again.
Doujin Artist: I think Sister Konan is so understanding, she definitely wouldn't overthink it.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yeah.
Machete Girl: Sister Konan is the kindest!
Curly-haired Guy: Aren't you guys praising her too much? Anyone can see that Konan-chan really… didn't think much of it at all.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: By the way, this lady's look is really strange. Why does she look kind of like the zombies from Uncle Nine's world?
Lin Fengjiao: According to ancient records, corpse-immortals really are a type of special zombie. But unlike the usual corpse-raising method, they're born from cultivators who dissolve their own body through a high-level ritual. Still, this lady's appearance and outfit really overturn my idea of what a corpse-immortal should be.
In Lin Jiu's impression, corpse-immortals should be dressed in Daoist robes, or in flowing white clothes like lofty sages.
But this lady's clothes barely had any fabric at all, and the cheongsam skirt was ridiculously short, making an old bachelor like Lin Jiu too embarrassed to even look straight at her.
The chat in the livestream turned lively again, as if Konan really hadn't done anything just now.
And right at that moment, the lady leaned close to Anzen's ear and whispered: "Brother An, today I'm wearing underwear. What happened that night won't happen again. Isn't that a shame?"
Curly-haired Guy: ???
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Un… underwear?
Doujin Artist: That night's incident?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Oh ho, Young Master An, you can't clear your name now.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Heh, hehehehe…
Soul Society's Villain: Konan, calm down. Ruiko hasn't enabled teleportation, so even if you grab a knife you can't get over there.
This is an Actor: …
Anzen felt a headache coming on. Somehow it really did feel like he was playing the role of a scumbag sneaking around behind his wife. But the truth was, nothing had ever happened between him and that lady.
But… could he still explain now?
Buzz.
As Anzen was thinking this, a silver light curtain suddenly fell from the sky, covering the entire area. Right after, Aleister appeared behind him holding a staff, stabbing straight at his back.
