Chapter 316: That Sword
Add to Bookmarks
This is a small story from the previous life, before Chen Chang'an transmigrated—
A certain university:
"Damn it! Quick, look at the campus forum!
The fourth brother kicked open the dormitory door and rushed in holding his phone.
Senior Zhang from the Computer Science Department cross-dressed again! This time it's a JK uniform with white stockings—his legs are thinner than the campus belle's!"
The dormitory instantly erupted into chaos.
Chen Chang'an, who was playing a game, twitched his hand and his character died on the spot. The third brother, lying on the bed reading a novel, pushed up his glasses and revealed a meaningful smile. Meanwhile, the usually most serious dorm leader, the eldest brother, silently took out his phone and quietly liked the post.
"No, how are you all so calm?
The fourth brother looked shocked.
This is already Senior Zhang's third time cross-dressing this semester!"
The eldest brother sneered.
"Heh, cross-dressing only has zero times and countless times. He's already a veteran."
The third brother pushed up his glasses and analyzed seriously.
"Based on my observations, cross-dressing bosses usually go through three stages.
First stage: 'How could I possibly cross-dress? That's too shameful!'
Second stage: 'I'll just try it once. No one should notice, right?'
Third stage: 'Sisters, does this skirt look good?'"
Everyone in the dormitory fell silent.
The eldest brother cleared his throat.
"Since everyone is so interested in cross-dressing bosses, how about we hold a dormitory critique meeting and discuss this phenomenon in depth?"
The fourth brother raised his hand.
"I'll go first! What's the most outrageous thing about cross-dressing bosses? It's that they look better in women's clothes than real girls! Is that reasonable?"
Chen Chang'an nodded in agreement.
"Indeed. Last time at the anime convention, I saw Senior Zhang cosplaying Rem. Those legs, that waist, that wig… I almost fell for him, until he followed me into the men's restroom…"
Everyone in the dormitory fell silent again.
The third brother pushed up his glasses.
"From a psychological perspective, the essence of cross-dressing bosses is a deconstruction of traditional gender roles. By breaking gender stereotypes, they gain spiritual freedom…"
The fourth brother interrupted.
"Speak like a human!"
The third brother replied.
"In short—they feel good wearing skirts."
Everyone responded in unison.
"Succinct!"
Then, the eldest brother suddenly said mysteriously.
"Do you know what's most terrifying about cross-dressing bosses? After getting addicted to cross-dressing, they start studying cosmetics."
The fourth brother exclaimed.
"Damn, seriously?"
The eldest brother nodded.
"Seriously. Last time I went to Senior Zhang's dorm to borrow a book, I saw his desk covered with foundation, eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks… He even knows how to draw eyeliner."
The third brother added.
"And they also recommend things to each other, like—'Sister, this wig looks very natural!' 'These stockings don't slip!' 'This skirt makes you look slim!'"
Everyone in the dormitory was speechless.
The fourth brother slapped his thigh.
"Brothers, I've realized it! The essence of cross-dressing bosses is—making themselves happy while making the onlookers question their existence!"
Chen Chang'an nodded.
"That's right. Every time I see them dressed more exquisitely than girls, I feel like I'm living like a rough brute."
The third brother concluded.
"So, the path of cross-dressing bosses looks glamorous, but in reality it's full of hardship—you have to learn makeup, pick clothes, wear wigs, and endure the strange gazes of passersby…"
The eldest brother made the final call.
"In summary—cross-dressing bosses are something even dogs wouldn't want to be!"
Everyone in the dormitory shouted in unison.
"Cross-dressing bosses are something even dogs wouldn't want to be!"
Yes, cross-dressing bosses are something even dogs wouldn't—
Be.
Because I am one!
There is no other reason—mainly because the system gives too much!
It is equivalent to a powerful clone with the same strength as himself, which can initiate a self-destruction attack when necessary as long as the distance is sufficient. Even if it is lost, it will not cause damage to the main body, aside from pain.
The key point is that the system also comes with character customization. Even without makeup, without applying any powder or rouge, even wearing a plain dress with a veil covering the face, no matter who sees her will unconsciously judge her to be a peerless beauty.
For Chen Chang'an, aside from being female, such a clone is simply perfect.
Yet it is precisely this female gender that torments him the most.
Because he discovered in horror that the casual topics discussed back then in the university dormitory were all true.
Whenever he uses this clone and passes clothing shops or cosmetic stores, he cannot help but stop, then force himself to move away with incomparably strong willpower.
Whenever passersby look at her with amazed gazes, at first he felt ashamed, but gradually… he could actually sense a faint trace of pride rising in his heart.
Damn it, the power of a cross-dressing boss is truly terrifying!
That is why, over the years, unless absolutely necessary, he is really unwilling to use this clone.
Fortunately, along the way, everything was within the small circle of people from the Immortal Spirit Holy Land, allowing her tightly wound nerves to relax slightly.
But who could have imagined that just as everything was about to end perfectly, someone like Ji Wuque would appear.
Goddamn it… make me your woman, and after it's done, I'll make you my empress…
You are the woman. Your whole family are women!
Being teased in front of everyone, after the intense sense of shame—
Yes, Chen Chang'an's defenses completely collapsed!
Everyone loves beauty. Even a tough man, if he accidentally opens a dress-up game, will subconsciously start matching outfits.
Heaven knows how he managed to endure wearing a plain dress all this time while inhabiting a clone whose qualities in every aspect could be considered perfect.
So, Chen Chang'an drew his sword.
Heaven and earth suddenly darkened.
This sword strike, unleashed in Chen Chang'an's towering rage, began silently, as if he were merely lifting his hand casually.
But at the instant the sword edge truly slashed forth—
"Boom!"
The entire sky seemed to be forcibly torn open with a gash.
Before the sword light arrived, the void had already begun to collapse.
Countless dense black cracks spread crazily from the sword edge like a spiderweb. Wherever they passed, spiritual energy was annihilated and rules shattered. Within those cracks, chaos could faintly be seen surging, as if even the origin of heaven and earth had been laid bare by this sword.
Ji Wuque had originally been standing with his hands behind his back, a hint of casual amusement still in his eyes.
But when the sword light truly approached, his pupils shrank violently.
This sword was wrong!
He instinctively raised his hand, dao patterns flowing in his palm, intending to dissolve it easily as usual. However, the moment his power made contact with the sword light—
Crack!
The Immortal Venerable power he took such pride in shattered like thin ice.
The sword light did not stop and continued to slash forward.
Ji Wuque's expression finally changed. He abruptly stepped back, his aura erupting explosively. His dark dragon robe flapped violently as he rapidly formed seals with both hands, laying down ninety-nine layers of protective divine radiance before him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sword light cut through ninety layers in succession before finally slowing slightly.
Fine beads of sweat seeped from Ji Wuque's forehead, and there was no longer the slightest trace of contempt in his eyes.
He stared fixedly at the still-advancing sword light, waves of shock surging in his heart.
What kind of sword is this?!
Why does even his Immortal Venerable Realm cultivation feel such terror from it?!
