Inside a small room in a countryside two-story house, four beams of light shone down upon it and thunders cracked upon its arrival.
The beams of light struck down on the backyard of this house and within this beam, four figures emerged. They stood tall and glanced at one another in confusion. Looking around, the area was soothing, and the wind was gentle.
From right to left, the first was a young man with long red hair, between his brows was a flame mark and he carried a cold aloof appearance, he wore an old-fashioned robe and looked elegant.
The second was also a young man, his long pink hair was so silky it'd put many girls to shame, along with his petite figure, he could easily be mistaken for a girl.
The third was a cold and overbearing young man with glasses, his gaze looked around as if he was analysing the other three people beside him.
The last was...a young man? He wore a uniform that looked like a high ranking officer from the army, had a somewhat short white hair and carried an extremely arrogant expression that looked as if he's kill anyone in his way.
"Any of you know what the f**k is this sh*t?" The red haired young man spoke up first\, he didn't seem to restrain himself when it comes to his language.
"No idea, but put a filter in your mouth before I do it for you, it won't be good if my sweet little sister hears you" The young man wearing glasses spoke coldly
The red haired young man immediately shot him a glare
"You wanna die you brat? I can burn you to the ground without a second's thought" He growled
The white haired young man stepped in between the two of them
"Shut up, both of you" He said in a straightforward manner
The young man with pink hair was a little nervous at the moment as the three glared at one another in a triangle.
"U-Um" He wanted to speak up, but the three suddenly shot their eyes in his direction, causing him to jump back in fright.
The white haired one lifted a brow and walked over, he reached out one hand and touched the pink haired young man's face as a smile crept to her face.
"This one is pretty cute, much better than the other two" The white haired one chuckled and said as his hands slid to the young man's long pink hair.
She caressed them gently
"What a cute girl you are, why don't you tell me your name?" Lan Du said gently
Her change caused the pink haired young man to feel uneasy
"Zh-Zhi Min" He replied
"A-And I'm a boy"
"Eh?" Not only the white haired young man, but the other two were just as shocked as they rushed over in stupor and stared at the young man.
"A boy? Such a pretty face and thin body, I can say you put most of the girls I have met in the immortal realm to shame" The red haired young man said as he rubbed his chin
"Tch, what immortal realm? Your eighth grader syndrome is a little over the top" The one with glasses snorted and scoffed at him.
The white haired young man didn't speak to the other two, she patted the pink haired boy's head and smiled even more.
"Such a sweet little thing, even if you're a boy, you're still fun to tease" He said as he licked the side of his lips, making the pink haired boy shudder
"I-I'm straight" He waved his hands around, but the strange thing was, his eyes didn't seem to be focused on te white haired young man at all.
The white haired young man leaned closer
"Your eyes...Zhi Min, are you blind?" The young man asked
Zhi Min paused before nodding
He then felt the white haired young man caress his hair
"That's fine, I'll see if I can help you after I figure out what's the situation we are currently in at the moment" The young man leaned back and patted his head, which made him feel strangely comfortable.
The red haired young man looked around
'Oi system! What the f**k is going on' He called out in his mind
[Error....rebooting...Welcome back host...S-S-System A-Analysing...Different world]
The young man furrowed his brows
'What's the situation'
[Otherworldly restrictions...host, system can no longer activate the original functions, all store items are cleared, all lotteries are empty, and the point system has been removed completely...I-I am now only a shell of my former self]
The system in his mind seemed to be having an existential crisis which made the red haired young man frown, he lifted one hand and his hand trembled...nothing happened.
'My cultivation, it's completely wiped' He thought to himself, but he gripped his hands
'My body is still just as strong as before, but not only my body of poison, my ice body is also gone, I'm in a mortal body'
The white haired young man was currently having a similar thought
'My spirit energy is completely empty, Xue'er is also gone...th-this'
Zhi Min looked around, he narrowed his eyes on the blurry figures around him, but then a thought struck him...
'I-I can't activate my eye's ability, th-this, I can't see anymore!'
The only one not panicking was the young man wearing glasses, he stared at the white haired young man and the red haired one.
'One looks like he's from the ancient time, while the other one looks like he's a rather high ranking officer from the military, but his uniform doesn't match any of the ones I know of...as for Zhi Min, he...he looks rather normal, no, wait, he's a very pretty boy, but I think that'a about it'
The four of them then turned to the house, the white haired young man walked up to Zhi Min.
"Little Min, do you want me to carry you into the house?" He said with a bright smile
Zhi Min shook his head hastily
"Wh-Who are you people, and where am I?" He asked
The three looked around and they all had no idea where they are. In the end, the white haired young man decided that everyone should first enter the house to see if they could find any clues.
When they entered, the red haired young man and the one wearing glasses immediately got into an argument, though it died down rather quickly when the white haired one stepped in.
They then found a piece of paper in the lounge room.
The young man wearing glasses picked it up and read it out loud
"I welcome the four of you to this new world, first, let me introduce myself, I am known as author, his is a new world I have brought you all together in, and if you wish to return to your original worlds...hehehehe, then you all must start a show that revolves around your daily life living together and get one billion viewers, have fun, sincerely, author" The young man wearing glasses then tore the note up and huffed
"If what this thing says is true, then this is an issue, one billion views isn't possible, even for the most prominent shows about daily lives of people living together, not to mention us" He sighed and said
The red haired young man grumbled
"This is total bullsh*t!" He roared
Zhi Min shrunk back as his nervousness rose
The white haired young man slammed the table, leaving a deep mark on it.
"Shut up, this merely means we need to work together, no? So let's start with introduction" He said overbearingly
The other two calmed down and nodded
"Since that's the case, I'll introduce myself first, I am Hou Tian, I rule over the hell's Monarch sect in the immortal realm, it's useless to hide anything right now since I realised my powers are completely gone and my system became a useless chatbot" He sighed and said
[I am not a chat box!]
Hou Tian ignored the system's cries for objection
"Immortal realm? Power? Your eighth grader syndrome is deeper than I thought" The one wearing glasses sighed and said
Hou Tian immediately flew into rage
"What the f**k did you say you f**ker!"
The white haired young man slammed the table again
"Silence, I don't think he's lying, though I'm not like him who is likely a cultivator, I am from the year 3000 and have developed a type of energy within my body, alas, like him, I also cannot feel it at all" The young man sighed and said
This time, the young man wearing glasses quietened down, but he still had a doubtful look
At that moment, Zhi Min rose his hand
"A-Actually...i-it's the same with me, I had a power that can be used to boost my vision and see a few seconds into the future, but I also can't see anything now" He said as his eyes dimmed
Now, the young man had nothing to say, one person, he can say he's crazy, two, it's a low possibility, but he can still claim them both to be crazy, but three...
"Wah, so cute, come give me a hug" The white haired young man opened up his arms and said
"Ah! I-I'm not g*y" Zhi Min said hurriedly, making the other two laugh
"Hahahaha, to think you had such a hobby, I didn't think you looked like the type to be g*y" Hou Tian laughed so much tears were running down his face.
The white haired young man huffed
"Four eyes, your turn to introduce yourself" He said to change the topic
The young man wearing glasses felt his lips twitch as he let out a cough
"I'm Liu Fei, unlike you maniacs, I'm from a normal modern society, so I'd say I'm the most helpful when it comes to starting this show business" He said calmly
"Your turn" He gestured towards the white haired young man who smiled
"I'm Lan Du, a colonel from the military and also a full time sadist, though I'm an officer, I actually also have business experience, I've started my own business before and dominated an entire region with it" Lan Du said proudly
Before any of them can speak, Lan Du added
"Also, I'm a girl" She said with a grin
"...."
Everything suddenly fell silent, even the usually aloof Liu Fei was so stunned his expression changed completely, this was a turn he never expected...
"So Zhi Min, come give big sister a hug" Lan Du opened up her arms and said jokingly, and to her shock, Zhi Min actually walked over and hugged her.
"Eh? Wow, so bold, I like it" Lan Du laughed and patted Zhi Min's head
Zhi Min looked up
"Is a hug suppose to mean something?" He asked suddenly, which took them off guard
"Mean anything? No, not really" Lan Du waved her hand and said casually, which was immediately interjected by Liu Fei and Hou Tian.
"What do you mean nothing! A hug is symbolic to a person's sense of warmth and security, you hug someone when you like them or when you need comfort!" Hou Tian shouted
"How can you trick a clueless child, a hug is important to a human mindset in keeping them company and showing care of a family or friend" Liu Fei added, for once, the two agreed with one another.
Lan Du chuckled
"I know, but his clueless expression is so cute, look at it" Lan Du pointed at Zhi Min's face and said
The two glanced over...it was very cute indeed...
They then shook their heads
"Don't change the subject, do you know how much a hug means?"
Lan Du laughed
"Of course, but I did just want tp trick the clueless boy, you got a problem with that?" She grinned as she continued to hug Zhi Min who didn't seem to have a change in expression.
"What does it mean to love?" He asked again
This time, the three froze completely, even Lan Du was stunned
"Don't tell me this child never recieved love?" Lan Du muttered as she held him closer
"Ah, you poor boy, let big sister comfort you" She patted his back and said
But Zhi Min shook his head
"No...i-it's just that...ah, i-it's that time of the day already!" He exclaimed in shock as he pushed Lan Du away and suddenly ran for the bathroom.
But Lan Du grabbed him
"What's wrong?" Lan Du asked, the other two also wondered what was wrong
"Does he need to use the bathroom?" Hou Tian said casually, but Liu Fei slapped the back of his head
"Are you dumb? Does that look like the face of someone who needs to use the bathroom?" He growled
"Ah, let me go!" Zhi Min called out, but to everyone's surprise, Zhi Min's voice became much higher pitch than before and they realised that his height was also going down.
Under their curious gaze, they watched as his body started changing, a-and his chest slowly puffed out.
"Holy sh*t! That guy was really a chick!" Hou Tuan exclaimed
Staring at Zhi Min in shock, the three were completely frozen. They thought that Lan Du's reveal of her gender was shocking, but this was on a whole new level!
"D-Don't look at me" Zhi Min shrunk back and wanted to run, but Lan Du's eyes flashed with ecstaticity as she pulled Zhi Min closer.
"Wah, so cute! How did you change your gender? Your height changed as well so it must be some supernatural occurrence, but our powers are completely gone, so maybe your gender swap is some sort of natural occurrence that doesn't go against the law of this world" Lan Du hurriedly analysed the situation, which Liu Fei was honestly surprised about.
'I thought she was just a weirdo, but guess she's actually on the smarter end'
Zhi Min trembled
"I-I don't know, it's always been like this, even before, I don't know why I keep changing...th-the thing is, my gender switches when it hits six in the afternoon, it switches again at six in the morning" Zhi Min said
Lan Du rubbed her chin
"Ah! That was why you asked me how it feels to be loved, you don't know which side to accept after years of switching back and forth, you can't accept either side so you started rejecting both side and using them at your convenience to reject yourself" Lan Du clasped her hands together and said
"......" The three fell silent
'H-How did she analyse all this from that two sentence conversation!' Zhi Min exclaimed in her heart
"Y-Yes" She nodded and replied
Lan Du smiled
"So cute, I'll be truthful, I was raised as a boy and even now, I actually live like a man, so I do kind of get what you're feeling" Lan Du patted her head and said gently.
Though she couldn't see it, she could feel Lan Du's warmth and he instinctively leaned closer towards her.
Liu Fei sniffled
"Such beautiful words...it makes me miss my sister" He muttered
Hou Tian sighed
"Urgh, don't even get me started with missing people, I have too many people I miss right now, wah, my daughter is also not with me!" Hou Tian grabbed his head and yelled
Liu Fei, Lan Du and Zhi Min were all stunned
"You have a daughter? You look so young though" Liu Fei exclaimed
"Me? Young? B*tch please, daddy here is older than all three of you, if not for the fact that I was abducted here, I could have lived up to more than ten thousand years with my family" Hou Tian grumbled
Lan Du smiled, but then her expression changed
"Ah, now that I think about it, my three brothers and my foster daughter! Sh*t!" Lan Du cursed as she fell into a similar state as Hou Tian.
Liu Fei watched this chaotic scene and sighed
"Um...mister Fei, what is going on?" Zhi Min asked
"Don't call me mister, just call me Liu Fei or brother Fei" Liu Fei revealed a warm smile and said, he has always liked little sisters, so if Zhi Min calls him brother Fei...he would absolutely love it.
Liu Fei is what you'd call someone with a sister complex...
The scene gradually died down as Hou Tian and Lan Du sat down
"So...how do we start a variety show?" Hou Tian asked
"Of course you'd be the first to ask, what would I expect from a caveman" Liu Fei chuckled and said
Hou Tian snorted, but didn't say anything
Lan Du rubbed her chin
"It's impossible to just post a video and hope we get views, I suggest we all head to the closest city first and get an understanding of the era we are in, if it is like the one that Liu Fei was in, then we shouldn't have much trouble" Lan Du said calmly
"Indeed, if possible, we need to get into contact with someone from the variety show industry, I'm not one to judge, but I can safely assume that our faces are good enough to get us on many shows" Liu Fei said with a confident smile
Lan Du flung her arm over Zhi Min's shoulder
"Of course, I've wooed so many girls in my life that my face is easily my most confident aspect" Lan Du said with a wide grin.
Hou Tian laughed
"What a coincidence, me too, it's with my face that I got myself two beautiful wives" Hou Tian said with a slick smile
Lan Du rolled her eyes
"Heh, if not for the fact that I'm not morally corrupted, I could have had numerous myself, I've even flirted with my superior's daughters before" Lan Du said with a chuckle
She turned her head and saw Zhi Min shifting away from her...
"Hey, don't run so quickly, my point is I'm confident with my face, but I'd say we should move out tomorrow, right now, it's a little dark" Lan Du looked out the window and said calmly.
"Agreed" Liu Fei nodded
Lan Du then shifted her eyes to Zhi Min
"Little Min, wanna spend the night with your big sister?" Lan Du chuckled and said sweetly
Zhi Min shuddered
"I-I'm good" He said
Not long after, Hou Tian patted Lan Du's back
"There are only three bedrooms including the two on the top, so someone will need to sleep on the couch, Zhi Min and you are out of the question, so you two should go upstairs" Hou Tian said calmly
Lan Du slapped his hands away
"Hah? Are you looking down on me? I'll have you know, I've slept on trees before, what makes it so hard to sleep on a couch?" Lan Du spat back
"Hey, I just wanted to be nice" Hou Tian growled back
The two were practically growling at one another as they butted heads
"How nice of you, I'm taking the couch" Lan Du shot back
"No, you're taking the bed" Hou Tian said arrogantly
Whilst the two argued, Liu Fei led Zhi Min upstairs as he was worried she's trip when going up the stairs. The house was actually quite roomy, so that put Liu Fei at ease.
When he came back down, he saw Lan Du and Hou Tian both laying on the couch as they growled at each other.
"Move out you damned red hair" Lan Du growled
"B*tchy tomboy, you're taking the bed whether you like it or not" Hou Tian shouted back
Liu Fei sighed and walked up to the two of them who were still squishing around the couch, he reached out his hand to try to pull them off but...
*Thud*
Liu Fei was actually pulled down by them and in the end, they all fell off the couch. The position became very strange as Lan Du was pressing down on both Liu Fei and Hou Tian from above...One hand was on Hou Tian's chest, whilst the other was on Liu Fei's wrist...
"G-Get off" Liu Fei tried to struggle, but he couldn't pull away Lan Du's hand.
And Hou Tian was even more shocked, he tried to struggle as well, but realised that Lan Du actually had similar strength as him!
'My lord, I cultivated to such a high realm, and I can't even beat this lass!'
Lan Du was naturally shocked by Hou Tian's strength as well
'If I'm not on top, he'd have tossed me with ease' She though deeply and gradually got up, careful as to not hurt Liu Fei.
Hou Tian and Lan Du both stared at him for a moment before patting his shoulder
"Liu Fei, we don't mean to say this but...your body is really too weak compared to ours, so if I'm ever sleeping, don't go near me, I don't want to accidentally slap you to death in my sleep" Lan Du said with a worried expression
Hou Tian was the same
"I might hate you, but not to the point of killing you, so I hope you don't get physical with me, if I react in reflex and not hold back, you won't even have a complete corpse to bury" Hou Tian said with an expression just like Lan Du's.
However, this worry only served to piss him off
"Hah? I'll have you know, I will be the future manager of this place, finance and scheduling will be done by me, if you mess with you, it's you who suffers" He spat back
And the other two didn't actually speak up because...well, it made sense. Of all of them, he was the only one who is a full time businessman, Lan Du may have run a business before, but she always left it at the hands of others.
Hou Tian ruled over a sect, but he mostly just went around killing people. So the two actually started sweating due to this.
"Um, I-I was just worried, nothing major" Lan Du said hurriedly
"Y-Yeah, d-don't mind us" Hou Tian scratched the back of his head and said
Liu Fei sighed, he knew the two were worried that he might get injured, so he shook off the anger and waved his hand.
"It's fine, you two, just take shifts in sleeping on the bed if you can't decide, Hou Tian take the odd days, Lan Du take the even days" He said calmly
The two suddenly felt like idiots...
"*Cough*\, I-I guess I can" Hou Tian said awkwardly
"No problems with me" Lan Du replied casually
With this, the issue was solved. Hou Tian and Lan Du agreed on the condition, and Hou Tian was the one who slept on the couch on the first day.
When morning rose, Zhi Min and Liu Fei woke up to the sound of the birds chirping, the leaves rustling...and the arguments of the two downstairs...
When they walked down, they saw Hou Tian and Lan Du shouting at each other as they each held a phone in their hands.
"I told you that my Xue'er is much cuter!" Lan Du roared
"No, it's clearly my Hong Xin that's cuter!" Hou Tian shouted back at her
Liu Fei grumbled, why did he have to be trapped in this world with these people? He cursed the person who sent them here...
(Somewhere beyond the fourth wall....Author:*Achoo* Is someone cursing at me?)
"What are you two arguing about so early in the morning?" He sighed and said
Lan Du and Hou Tiangrowled at him
"None of your business!" They shouted
The two picked up their phones and swiped it a few times and showed it to the other person. In the end, the two actually froze on the spot...they grabbed one another's phone and stared at it.
"Holy sh*t that's cute!" Hou Tian shouted
"F**k, this little thing is damn adorable!" Lan Du exclaimed
Liu Fei's lips twitched
"Aren't you from ancient time? How do you even know how to use a phone? Wait no, where did you two even get those phones!" He exclaimed in shock
Lan Du chuckled
"I always carry extra devices on me, though my spirit tools can't be accessed, I still have spare phones in my coat's pockets" Lan Du said with a grin
"As for me, I'm a reincarnator, I used to live in modern society before I was sent to the ancient cultivation world, of course I know what a phone is" Hou Tian added
Liu Fei felt like cursing out loud at the two, but then a though occured to him.
"Wait, those two phones, you're from the year 3000 right? If we sell that on the online market, we can earn millions with ease" Liu Fei suddenly said
But lan Du shook her head
"I already considered such things, but there is one issue, these phones are extremely advanced for this modern world, it quite literally is composed of materials out of this world, if we were to sell it, it can cause issues for our daily lives, and if larger corproations wish to monopolise these devices, we can fall under danger, though me and Hou Tian has strong bodies, we can still die to even a pistol" Lan Du said calmly, having been in the political world as a soldier, she understood how dark a human's heart can become.
Liu fei nodded after some thoughts
"You're right, anyway, How long can that phone of yours last?" He asked curiously
Lan Du grinned
"It doesn't need to charge, it just needs sunlight to-Oh my god! Hou Tian, how is your daughter so cute, look at her eat!" Lan Du was cut off half way by her own excitement.
Hou Tian however was in a similar state
"Your Xue'er is no slacker! My goodness, she is too damned cute! And the way she sleeps!"
From one argument, the two became extremely close...
Liu Fei sighed and spent the next hour to get the two to calm down. After finally stopping the two's crazed cuteness hunt, they finally sat down calmly.
"I'll go make breakfast, the person who dropped us here was kind enough to have food in the fridge and the citizenship cards for each of us" Liu Fei said as he passed the cards to the other three.
Lan Du and Hou Tian stared at it whilst Zhi Min merely tucked it away as he couldn't really see it at all. After a few minutes, the smell of crispy bacon and eggs drifted into their noses.
"Wah, Liu Fei, you can cook?" Lan Du exclaimed
Liu Fei who was in the kitchen smiled
"I have a sister to take care of, of course I can cook, you said you had a foster daughter, shouldn't you know how to cook as well?" He asked as he started serving the food
Lan Du sighed
"I wish, my mother's genetics overpower my ability to learn, I can't cook even the most basic things, the only thing I don't mess up is instant noodles" Lan Du said bitterly
"That makes no sense!" Liu Fei exclaimed
"Heh, if only that was true" Lan Du muttered
They then heard Hou Tian snicker as he wore a smug look on his face.
"I have a daughter so I naturally can cook" He said with a smug smile
Lan Du instantly had the urge to beat his face in, but held it back after thinking about Hong Xing, the red haired little girl in Hou Tian's phone.
"You can cook? Alright, from now on, you're in charge of cooking" Liu Fei didn't spare a single second to drop the role of cooking onto Hou Tian after finding out he could cook.
"Hey!" Hou Tian was immediately triggered
*Ding Dong*
As they were arguing, they all heard the front doorbell ring, Lan Du walked out to see what it was, but when she opened the door, there was no one there. She looked down and saw an envelope.
She picked it up and opened it up, but after reading the content, her expression changed
"Who was it?" Liu Fei walked over and asked
Lan Du turned to him
"Forget breakfast, we need a group discussion" Lan Du said with a serious face
Liu Fei has never seen such expression from Lan Du so he knew it must be serious. He nodded and gathered the other two around the couch.
Lan Du sat down and held the envelope in her hand.
"The so call author just sent us a letter, it's the rules of the 'game' apparently" Lan Du said calmly as she began reading out the content.
"Hello my four comedy stars, by now, you should have gotten to know one another there are several rules to this...what should I call this? Ah, I'll call it a game, in this game, your final goal is to reach the one billion views for your variety show about your daily lives, naturally, I'm not evil and cold-hearted, so every time you complete a small goal such as first view and so on, I will grant one person one wish, of course, the wish does not include leaving this world or changing any of your characteristics such as Zhi Min's gender swap, Hou Tian, Lan Du, this next two rules are for you two, you're not allowed to use your brute strength to earn money, your income must come from the variety show, I will provide daily income for daily necessities so you guys won't starve, ah, the wish includes bringing people to this world, but only one person at a time....have fun"
Lan Du looked up to see the grim expressions of everyone.
"So...wanna eat breakfast now?" Lan Du spoke up
The three didn't know how her head is wired, to think of food after dropping such a shocker on them, but they had nothing better to do at the moment so they nodded.
"Can't believe that b*stard said I can't use my strength to earn money, I was just about to go out today to earn some change from wrestling and boxing" Hou Tian grumbled
Lan Du rolled her eyes
"First off, we need to get some new clothes, Zhi Min only has his school uniform, I only have my military outfit, Hou Tian, I'm not even going to begin with yours, as for Liu Fei...you're just fine" Lan Du said calmly
"Heck no, this robe is made by my wife, I'm not taking it off even if you kill me" Hou Tian said
Lan Du's eyes became cold
"Oho? You're going to disobey me? Should I tear off that robe bit by bit or will you be obedient and take it off like a good boy" Lan Du wore a twisted smile that frightened not only Hou Tian, but also Liu Fei.
"EEP! I knew it, women are scary!" Hou Tian exclaimed
Lan Du rubbed her chin when she saw this reaction
"Hou Tian, could you be...a henpecked husband?" Lan Du asked with a completely serious face
Hou Tian froze...
"Sh-Shut up!" He shouted at her and cuddled up in a fetal position.
Lan Du suddenly smirked, her expression couldn't be any more terrifying, as if a wolf has just found a baby rabbit to toy around with. Liu Fei wondered how this will end up in the future, he can only hope that these two don't end up killing each other.
"Alright, eat up and we're leaving to get some proper clothes, this house gave use food in the fridge, but left no clothes in the closet, damned author" Lan Du grumbled
They all ate, but after a few seconds of thinking, they realised they had no money. Well, Lan Du had plenty, but those are money from a different world, how can she use them?
After searching through their personal possessions, Liu Fei pulled out a golden watch and Hou Tian pulled out a gold bar which stunned them all.
"What? I carry a gold bar around to look rich when I traverse the mortal realms, I have four more bars, so we should have enough to buy us all some proper clothes and equipments for the show" Hou Tian said with a proud expression.
"Take it out sooner" Liu Fei said as he took back his own watch and wore it on his wrist
"What? We're not using your watch?" Hou Tian gave him a disdainful look
Liu Fei huffed
"That was the only gift I got from my sister" He spat back
Hou Tian was surprised, he looked down and fiddled with his fingers.
"S-Sorry" He said hurriedly
Lan Du observed his reaction and thought for a bit
"Hou Tian...do you happen to have a sister?" Lan Du asked
Hou Tian paused
"H-How'd you know?" He exclaimed
"Well, your eyes often soften up whenever Liu Fei mentions his own sister, so I thought you probably have one as well" Lan Du replied
Hou Tian smiled bitterly
"Was I that obvious? Well...I 'had' a sister" He said calmly
They all fell silent, now it was Lan Du's turn to apologise
"So sorry, I didn't think about that" Lan Du said hurriedly
"Hahahaha, don't worry, but from your reaction, you probably have a sister as well" Hou Tian laughed, trying to break the awkwardness...but...
"Well...same as you, I 'had' a sister" Lan Du replied awkwardly
Everyone fell silent...this was just getting worse by the second, Zhi Min didn't know what to do. He looked around and reached out his hand in a random direction.
"Ack!" His hand bumped into the door and he let out a painful, but cute sound.
Everyone turned over, and all the tension was turned to Zhi Min.
"Are you alright? Do I need to get ice?"
"Should I call the ambulance"
"How is your hand, can you feel it?"
The three expressed worry that Zhi Min never expected. Unknowingly, they were back to being the loud and wild group they had been on the first day of meeting.
Zhi Min smiled brightly
"I'm fine" He said
Heaving out a sigh of relief, everyone decided it was time to depart. When they left the house, they realised that they were in a small suburb and they didn't know where the city is.
In this situation, Lan Du and Hou Tian were actually experts.
"This handsome gentleman over here, my friends and I moved to this town not long ago, can you tell us where the closest city is?" Hou Tian grabbed a random man walking by and asked
Lan Du however targeted a young girl, Lan Du walked over and sat down beside her.
"Miss, um, I-I just reached the town n-not long ago with my friends and I-I don't know the way to the closest city, but I need something there, c-can you help me?" Lan Du tugged her sleeves and asked with puppy dog eyes.
Liu Fei was honestly surprised by the two's ability to ask for directions...it's almost as if they often get lost...
"Ah, yes, sure" The man Hou Tian stopped was pleased by his complement and naturally gave Hou Tian the directions, though when Hou Tian returned, he only got some vague details as the man was also new here.
Lan Du on the other hand...
"Wah, yes, yes you can ask for help, little brother if you go here and then do this..." She ranted on for almost five minutes before she waved Lan Du goodbye...
Lan Du smiled and walked back
"I got the information, just down the road, we will be able to find a bus stop which will bring us to the nearest city in half an hour, I also asked about this town's name, it's called Potato valley due to the mass production of potatoes here, and after we arrive, we can go to these places for cheap but high quality clothing" Lan Du said as she showed them a map on her phone.
"Wait, how does your phone even work? This is a different world, and a different era at that" Liu Fei exclaimed
Lan Du giggled
"I asked if that lady has a sim card for phones, and surprisingly, she said she had a spare one, so now we have a proper access to this world's internet" Lan Du said with a smile
Liu Fei and Hou Tian gasped in amazement
"Damn, you're very efficient in flirting" Hou Tian gave her a thumbs up and said
Lan Du smiled
"Zhi Min, you're so quiet, I feel sad that you're not praising me" Lan Du said with a mischievous smile
Zhi Min immediately became flustered
"Ah, th-that, I-"
"Pfft, don't worry, come, we'll lead you to the bus stop, as the youngest and prettiest, we naturally must protect the princess" Lan Du chuckled and said with a smile
Hou Tian laughed along with her whilst Liu Fei just smiled, he rubbed the embarrassed Zhi Min's head before turning to the others.
"Let's go" He said calmly
They arrived at the bus stop and got on the bus, the moment they did so, they attracted the attention of everyone on the bus. Lan Du and Hou Tian had very unique clothings, and they were both good looking to top it off so it didn't look weird, Liu Fei was extremely handsome and Zhi Min...do I have to say? Zhi Min was the prettiest amongst them all.
Some of the girls snapped pictures of them when they weren't looking, one of them was a bit more bold as she walked up to them.
"Can I take a picture with you all?" She asked shyly
Lan Du smiled
"When a pretty girl request such a thing, how can I say no?" Lan Du said playfully and stuck out her tongue
The girl blushed and took a quick photo with all four of them before going back to brag about it to her friends who were very jealous.
"They're all so hot"
"The pink haired one is my favourite, she is like a doll, so cute"
"Nah, I like the red haired one, he looks like the wild but caring type, and that outfit, it fits him so well!"
"I prefer the white haired one, that military outfit is so domineer looking, but he was so gentle when I spoke to him, he even smiled at me, ah, it's worth talking to them"
"But that one with glasses is also a good catch, look at him, he looks like a domineer CEO type and is also very handsome"
The girls talked up a storm, making Lan Du and Hou Tian laugh.
