It’s not that Lin Feng was impolite, but he was feeling unsettled and couldn’t quite discern the gender of the person in front of him.
From appearance and voice, he couldn’t tell.
Male or female, it didn’t matter.
Zhang Ze heard this and chuckled coldly, feigning aloofness, "Just a passerby, call me Burial Sea."
Lin Feng looked at the gender ambiguous figure of Burial Sea, "Why am I the second best in quality?"
Zhang Ze continued to smirk, "Because I was the first to wake up, clearly I am the best in quality. What’s your name?"
In fact, when Lin Feng woke up, Zhang Ze recognized that the flamboyant noble in front of him was Brother Feng, especially due to the familiar sequence of moves he made upon jumping up.
Upon seeing Lin Feng’s appearance, Zhang Ze understood why he had turned out this way.
Clearly, the countdown time was for the trial takers in Jade Book Tower to customize their appearance.
However, at the time, Zhang Ze was too guilty to use the Seal Ring to communicate with Jade Book Tower, and he was simply playing with his tail, giggling to himself.
Thus, upon entering Jade Book Illusion Realm, he got a random gender-fluid appearance.
But seeing Lin Feng’s flamboyant look now, recalling his usual cold star image in all black...
One could only say, some people may wear masks openly, but in reality, they have shed their disguise.
Lin Feng, who was being scrutinized by the continuously smirking Burial Sea, chuckled lightly, feigned nonchalance, stood up to pat the dust off his fancy clothes, and bowed.
Just as Lin Feng was about to continue chatting with Zhang Ze, another person woke up.
It was that tall girl with long legs.
She opened her eyes, glanced at Lin Feng’s fancy outfit, smacked her lips disapprovingly, and sighed.
Then she turned to look at Zhang Ze, who was slouching against the wall in a gender-fluid form, and gave him an extra glance.
But as she was about to speak, a sudden coughing sound indicated the awakening of a thunderous loli.
The tall girl immediately got up, quickly walked over to Zhang Ze, made a gesture inviting him to step aside, and crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at the thunderous loli and said.
"Not bad, you’re the fourth best in quality among the people here."
Hearing this, Zhang Ze’s vision went dark, and he realized who this cheeky person was.
Zhang Ze swore on Li’s tail tip that this person was definitely Lily.
No height can disguise that sneaky demeanor.
One could only say the more one lacks, the more one fantasizes about it in dreams.
Clearly, our Lily’s biggest wishes are not wisdom and wealth, as she already possesses both.
What she desires most now are a height that gazes upon the bright moon and a bountiful and proud figure.
Even though it’s within an illusion realm, having them is having them.
Feeling the unfamiliar warmth and weight from her arms, and witnessing the unfamiliar scenery from such height, Lily felt it was all worth it.
She came for this very purpose, as the Jade Book Illusion Realm, climbing to the ninety-nine layers, hardly mattered.
Those tasks could be left to the boss.
Lily secretly decided that once the Jade Book Illusion Realm officially opened, she would visit at least once a day, not for anything else, just to enjoy the new scenery and weight she had never seen. Googlᴇ search novᴇlfire.net
Bai Tao climbed out from the bundle of weeds, frowning slightly, somewhat displeased.
Not because of the people in the cell, but due to a bit of cleanliness anxiety.
After getting up from the ground, she looked up at Lily, feeling the heaviness at her chest, internally marveling, "What a novel feeling."
Just as Bai Tao wanted to jump around to experience gravity’s constraints more intimately, she heard Lily’s opening line.
"Not bad, you’re the fourth best in quality among the newcomers."
Bai Tao instinctively corrected, "Your line is wrong, it’s the best in quality."
"Don’t mind the details, they’re pretty much the same." Lily stepped forward to pull Bai Tao up.
"Not the same, not the same." The seasoned literary girl began correcting Lily’s mistakes, then dissected the plot to her in layman’s terms.
"According to the plot, I should be asking now, what is this place? Who are you people? Why am I here?"
Lily promptly responded in character, "The answer lies within you."
Zhang Ze watched this with a bit of bewilderment.
As something he remembered, and the only piece considered complete, "Infinite Horror", Zhang Ze had made slight edits to suit the comprehension of East Continent cultivators, then released it as initial promotion for Jade Book Tower.
Due to proximity advantage, Bai Tao had already seen the original version, so she knew the subsequent plot inside out.
Recognizing Bai Tao, Zhang Ze sighed slightly, then coughed softly.
"Ahem, may I ask how you two should be addressed?"
"I? I’m called Liu Fengxian."
This was the rustic name Lily came up with.
"You may call me Cyan Fox."
This was Bai Tao’s alias.
These two concealed their true identities due to some unspeakable little thoughts, in order to avoid embarrassment.
And because the three were unfamiliar with each other, and the difference between their personas and true images was too great, none of them recognized each other.
Anyway, regardless of the lack of frankness, it was different from the promised concerted effort and overcoming difficulties together.
However, Zhang Ze wasn’t planning to expose them. Firstly, he was worried about their embarrassment; secondly, he was logging in under someone else’s account, afraid of being permanently banned if discovered.
Zhang Ze clapped his hands to gather everyone’s attention, then pointed at the wall behind the two girls.
