Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

"No matter what, they are warriors who risked their lives on those damn, idiotic shows for you, while you guys just hide behind the screen and spout nonsense!"

Tsurugi's words were met with an overwhelming barrage of profanities and curses in the comments section.

But Tsurugi, who had no time to deal with these things anymore, directly activated her media powers, stripped these bullet comments of their control, and then projected a trace of her true self onto the screen!

I had just told Adam that we wouldn't use the power of hell—but torturing and tormenting these sinners wasn't included!

The next second, at the same time, countless fat, bespectacled faces hidden behind the screen twisted instantly, screaming in terror as if they had witnessed something horrifying, until they were scared to death on the spot.

In an instant, the entire barrage became much clearer. Tsurugi twisted his neck. He never got into pointless conflicts, but at this moment he still felt as if his soul had become much lighter.

So, lastly, he welcomed that guest named Liu Ruyan.

Just hearing that name tells you he's no ordinary person. Tsk tsk tsk, he's probably some kind of powerful emperor who can manifest in countless forms.

“Young Master Dongjiang, my name is Liu Ruyan.”

The third blind date, a ghostly woman with a name containing the connotation of great karma, gracefully approached, curtsied before Dongjiang, and softly spoke in a captivatingly gentle voice...

"Let me guess, you used to frequent brothels."

Dongjiang put his feet up on the table and lazily looked at the female ghost in front of him.

"And I guess you're going to tell me your tragic story or something, trying to trigger my strange white knight complex as a man—or rather, the idea of ​​persuading a whore to reform—and finally tell me about your martial arts power and the limitations and awfulness of men dominating the world, right?"

Liu Ruyan's expression stiffened, then she lowered her head and whispered...

“Young master is right. I would like to give Ruyan a chance to tell me my past story.”

"I'll give you three minutes," Tsugumi said, crossing her arms.

"If you can't finish speaking, your head will be chopped off right now!"

It's completely reversing the Heavenly Principles!

Countless female viewers watching the show were furious at Dongjiang's macho behavior, but there was nothing they could do. As for the male viewers?

No, it should be said that apart from those who defy the odds, normal people would only cheer for the fact that humanity has finally regained the upper hand.

At Tsuruga's prompting, Liu Ruyan began to slowly recount her story.

Indeed, as Dongjiang said, Liu Ruyan was a courtesan during her lifetime, and even a famous courtesan, renowned for her beauty in the Qinhuai area.

Of course, even the most famous courtesans are still just prostitutes. For people like them, the best fate is to be redeemed by a wealthy merchant and become his concubine before they grow old, lose their beauty, and become unusable.

When Liu Ruyan said this, her eyes sparkled, and she tried her best to look pitiful, but Dongjiang was completely unmoved. He simply pointed to his watch to indicate that she didn't have much time left.

A dark glint appeared in Liu Ruyan's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it and continued to tell her story.

Very quickly, very quickly, the male protagonist appeared in this story!

His name is Ji Boda—although it's not an ancient name, that's what we'll call him anyway!

This is probably a kind of influence from the female-oriented mindset (I'm sure of it).

In short, Ji Boda, whose name was quite remarkable, was the son of the governor of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, a first-rate official's son, and was a student at the Imperial Academy in the capital at the time. He met the beautiful Liu Ruyan while traveling with his fellow townsman He Qiang.

The two quickly fell in love, and their affections deepened. Ji Boda then frequented Liu Ruyan's place, and soon squandered all the money he had brought with him.

When the madam saw that he had no money, she wanted to kick him out. But Liu Ruyan, seeing how honest and kind Ji Boda was, wanted to entrust her life to him. She asked Ji Boda to raise three hundred taels of silver to redeem her. But he was penniless and had nowhere to turn for help. At the critical moment, Liu Ruyan secretly took out one hundred and fifty taels of silver from her savings, and with the help of his friend He Qiang, Ji Boda finally managed to raise the ransom.

After successfully redeeming herself, Liu Ruyan and Ji Boda left the capital, preparing to return to their hometown of Shaoxing. Before leaving, the women in the brothel, grateful for Liu Ruyan's care, gave her a gilded stationery box containing countless gold and silver jewels that Liu Ruyan had accumulated over the years.

When they reached the Guazhou ferry crossing on the Yangtze River, they encountered Fang Yuan, the son of a salt merchant from Xin'an.

Damn it, Dongjiang really wanted to complain when she heard this. You can't destroy unofficial history! Where did that Miss Jiejiao Jiezao go?

In short, upon seeing Liu Ruyan's beauty, he harbored wicked intentions. He invited Ji Boda to drink, and during the meal, he used sweet words to sow discord, saying that bringing a prostitute home would be a disgrace to the family, and that it would be better to sell her to him for a thousand taels of silver, so that he could both go home to explain and marry a lady from a prestigious family.

Ji Boda, being weak-willed and worried about his father's wrath, wavered after hearing Fang Yuan's words and finally agreed to sell Liu Ruyan for one thousand taels of silver.

Ji Boda returned to the ship and hesitantly told Liu Ruyan about it. She was heartbroken, but remained calm and feigned agreement. The next day at dawn, she carefully dressed and then moved the treasure chest to the bow of the ship. In front of Ji Boda, Fang Yuan, and everyone else, she opened the chest layer by layer, revealing it filled with priceless gold and silver jewels.

Liu Ruyan angrily rebuked Fang Yuan for breaking up her husband and daughter-in-law, and cursed Ji Boda for being ungrateful and opportunistic. After her tirade, she threw the treasure chest full of items into the river one by one, and finally, embracing the empty box, she jumped into the surging waves and committed suicide.

—Although Liu Ruyan's voice was melodious and her emotional appeal was high when she told the story, Dongjiang didn't want to give her any vivid imagery, so he simply ended the story briefly.

Oh no, actually the whole story can be summarized in eight words.

Du Shiniang angrily sank her treasure chest—isn't this just a blatant knock-off story?!

But I don't know if this story doesn't exist in the world, or if the girls who posted the comments weren't very good at literature, anyway, the comments were full of things like "The girl is so pitiful!", "Tear the scumbag apart!", and "Kill the scumbag's whole family."

"And so, this is my entire story," Liu Ruyan said sadly, her eyes lowered.

"So how long did he spend money on you?" Dongjiang remained unmoved by this foolish story, looking directly at Liu Ruyan and asking bluntly.

"How much time and money did this simp spend on you?"

Liu Ruyan's body stiffened. She was about to lie when she stared in astonishment at the scarlet warning sign in front of her.

Lying is strictly prohibited during the initial introduction and meeting process on a blind date; violators will be disqualified!

"Oh ho ho, it seems a new rule has been born." Tsugumi stopped writing and laughed happily.

"Go on, how much money did that simp actually spend on you?"

"...Six thousand three hundred taels." Liu Ruyan trembled, gritting her teeth as she spoke in a barely audible voice.

"Oh! Six thousand three hundred taels, while your redemption fee is only three hundred taels! Is this simp just into playing the public bus game, or did you never intend to be redeemed by him in the first place?"

Dongjiang interlaced his fingers and looked at Liu Ruyan teasingly.

"Oh, of course it's possible that the madam takes a higher cut. Can I interpret that as you intentionally exploiting her for money over the past few years?"

The person in front of me didn't speak, but silence meant consent.

So the Dongjiang River continued downstream.

"So, after squeezing every last penny out of him and realizing there was nothing left to gain, you finally decided to reform and marry this honest, sycophantic man. And even then, you're still playing a compliance test, right?"

"Three hundred taels to redeem him? That's a very obvious excuse for a brothel to get rid of him. He had no money, yet you let the madam humiliate him and force him to borrow money. But you hid your money until after his five lessons before taking it out, right?"

981>>>>

"Who do you think you are? What kind of person are you? You dare to test the son of the Zhejiang Provincial Administration Commissioner?" Dongjiang interrupted him, sneering.

Liu Ruyan's body trembled, and her once gentle and charming face could no longer be maintained, revealing a ferocious look.

"Okay, we won't discuss feudal class issues with people of your generation. Even if we've come this far, I think you should understand that you're all in the same boat." Dongjiang said leisurely, resting his hands on the back of his head.

"But now that he has redeemed you, you still dragged him into your sisterhood and couldn't wait to announce to the world that you've gotten out of poverty, putting even more pressure on this sycophant who already has trouble explaining himself to his family."

"You don't think a man would like to repeat over and over again the fact that the woman he's going to marry used to be a prostitute—well, just saying that makes my mouth feel dirty."

Tsurugi spat, his face full of disgust.

“You’re even worse off without the chicken coop. You pretended to give all your money to that sycophant, keeping your own assets to see how things would turn out. You even flaunted your treasure chest the whole way. He may be a sycophant, but he should know it’s wrong of you to play him like this.”

"You, a fairy-like girl, are unwilling to take responsibility. Not only are you afraid to go back with him directly, but you also advised him to leave first, while you stayed in Hangzhou to wait for him to take you back after he had settled everything? Are you afraid that you will be drowned in a pig cage if you go back?"

"While holding the money you squeezed out of him, you're waiting for him to come back in style and make you the wife of a high-ranking official. Knowing what you used to do, you still dare to tell him you're living alone? If that simp isn't an idiot, he'll know you're hiding money. If he is, hey, do you want to guess how he thinks you're going to make a living?"

He looked at Liu Ruyan, whose face was ashen, shook his head, and sneered.

"Even such a sycophant gave you a chance in the end. He didn't sell you out or take your savings and throw you into West Lake. Instead, he went back and told you he had no money left. Was that his last chance?"

"Then, you didn't change your slutty ways and kept playing hard to get. In the end, you went too far. This simp was too kind and disheartened to throw you into a pig cage. Instead, he sold you to a salt merchant, which was a way out for you."

"But that businessman isn't a suck-up. He came up to you and demanded your secret stash of money to control you. It seems you know your future is to be used and then sold back to a brothel, right?"

He stood up, circled the female ghost—who was emanating black mist, had a pale, ashen face, and was dripping wet—and mocked her.

"You must be feeling really disappointed, right? You were on the verge of becoming the daughter-in-law of a high-ranking official, and you might even have a future official position. But because you messed things up, you're going to be sold back to the brothel. What a great opportunity you've ruined by playing hard to get."

"Then you couldn't bear it anymore and drowned yourself in the lake. I'm just baffled. If the resentment of someone like you can turn into a female ghost, then how many married men in the world must become vengeful ghosts after they die...?"

Before Tsugumi could finish speaking, the disguised female ghost finally couldn't take it anymore.

She stood up, her once pristine white clothes now transformed into a garish, brightly colored outfit typical of brothels. She was dripping wet, her face was ashen, and her eyes were completely black. Then she let out a piercing scream.

"Aa ...

"Are you calling me 'Mom', you water ghost?" Tsurugi said without any politeness, slapping him across the face.

"Traveling Through Heavens, Can You Be Smarter Than Me?" - Stunning writing style, with a captivating and dramatic plot!

701. Men must fight!

With a slap from Dongjiang, Liu Ruyan let out a shrill, inhuman scream, and then she turned into a puddle of water and vanished.

A dark domain instantly engulfed the entire space.

The once pitch-black sky turned into a heavy cloud, and beneath Dongjiang and the other male guests' feet, a foul-smelling lake water was spreading.

"Wasn't this supposed to be a weird blind date? How did it suddenly turn into a lakeside cabin scenario?!"

Park Jong-soo screamed as he tried to avoid the spreading lake water beneath his feet, while the comments section flashed by at breakneck speed.

[Do not touch these lake waters! If your skin comes into contact with the lake water, you will be quickly dragged into a bizarre and deadly situation!]

[Those who drink the water will die! People whose skin comes into excessive contact with the lake water will be further dragged into the lake. Stay away from it and find a solution!!!]

Dongjiang raised an eyebrow. He wasn't interested in this bullshit killing rule. Instead, he was curious about the thought process behind the normal barrage of comments that immediately flooded the screen when they saw a glimmer of hope.

Hmm, never mind, let's not delve into it further.

Without a vacuum, they are nothing!

Take down this nonsensical thing quickly and directly, and then blow up the world!

Amidst countless surprised and anxious gazes, Dongjiang stepped directly into the lake. Immediately afterward, Dongjiang felt a rule trying to corrupt him, suppress him, and drag him into a state of 'suffocation and death'.

Of course—this is completely useless to Dongjiang.

The premise of a "mechanism-based kill" is that your mechanism can actually overcome resistance, and obviously this rule is meaningless to Tsurugi.

On the contrary, Tsurugi, by taking advantage of the rules that were trying to permeate him, along with this bizarre and ridiculous dating show, went against the tide.

"Got you." Tsurugi looked at the cold, murky lake water, sneered, and then slowly raised her right hand in a chop-like stance.

Hand knife, fall!

The next second, a miracle unfolded before everyone's eyes!
