Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

"This little guy is so cute!" Huang Rong couldn't help but squat down slightly and gently pinch Tianming's face. His face was full of collagen, and his eyes were big. He was quite lovable.

Lin Zhu sighed inwardly, patted Jing Tianming's head and said, "It's fine to call them 'sister,' just call me 'brother.'"

"Why?" Jing Tianming asked.

Lin Zhu said, "Do I look like an older sister in this outfit?"

“Yes!” Jing Tianming nodded. “You’re so beautiful, even more beautiful than my mother, how could you possibly be a man? I’m not stupid.”

Before Lin Zhu could say anything more, Jing Ke punched Jing Tianming on the head again, saying, "Just call me brother, don't talk so much like a child."

"Dad, if you hit my head again, I'll fight you to the death," Jing Tianming threatened.

"You think you can beat me? You'll have to wait another ten or twenty years." Jing Ke was also somewhat nonchalant.

Zhang Sanniang looked at Jing Tianming with some concern and said to Li Ji, "Is he alright after being beaten like this?"

"Don't worry, Tianming is tough! Master Paoding beats him with a rolling pin every day before he goes to sleep. He takes a punch to the head as practice."

Li Ji said calmly.

Lin Zhu looked at Tianming with a face full of sympathy.

Huang Rong asked, "Why would he practice such a clumsy skill?"

"Hehehehe!" Butcher Ding scratched his head and laughed. "Actually, this is a skill I practiced. I was beaten a lot when I was a child, so I got used to it when I grew up."

“My martial arts skills are not suitable for Tianming. Tianming’s personality is like Ali’s; he can’t settle down. So I found Master Paoding to teach him martial arts, and I can also freeload meals on the side,” Jing Ke said with a smile.

Jing Tianming refuted, "Neither of them can cook, so they sold me out."

Li Ji said, "Just tell me if Master Chef Ding's cooking is good or not. Would you rather eat his, or eat my and your father's?"

"Then forget it. I'll just take the beating. I'm used to it anyway." Jing Tianming felt that it was better to be beaten every day than to eat Li Ji's cooking.

He had been practicing his "ability to withstand blows" for two years, and he was completely unharmed even after Jing Ke's heavy punch.

Lin Zhu asked, "Isn't it inappropriate for someone so young to practice hard martial arts?"

Paoding said, "It's alright. Our Mo family's basic techniques can neutralize the side effects of hard techniques. Jing Ke helps Tianming cleanse his marrow every night, so it won't damage his martial arts foundation."

"Sigh, it would be better if I didn't get beaten up." Jing Tianming sighed, looking at his parents and master with a speechless expression.

Poor child!

"It's alright, it's alright. You're already as tough as iron. Just fight for another two or three years and you'll be fine."

Whether it was to comfort him or something else, the butcher patted his head kindly as he spoke.

If Jing Tianming hadn't been able to sense that his parents and master loved him, he probably would have run away from home long ago.

This must be love.

His fatherly love was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting; every time a fist hit his head, he could feel the whole world shaking.

A mother's love is like water, yet it overflows like a flood. Every day, she just keeps tearing at his face until he drools.

He wondered if he had been born to be played with.

He sighed again, sounding somewhat mature for his age.

Lin Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Li Ji, why don't you teach Tianming the Twelve Golden Bell Shield Technique? That way, he can reduce the pain when he gets beaten."

"That won't do." Butcher Ding immediately waved his hand. "I can't break my body before I've mastered the Twelve Gates Golden Bell Shield. I still need to carry on the family line at dawn."

"Oh, there's such a skill? Then I won't practice it." Jing Tianming shook his head. "When I marry in the future, I want a wife as beautiful as you, brother."

Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

With that smile, Zhang San Niang instantly knew what Huang Rong knew.

But when? Her laughter stopped abruptly.

"Can I hit him?" Lin Zhu asked Li Ji.

"Sure, but don't use too much force," Li Ji said with a smile.

Lin Zhu didn't really intend to hit the boy. Instead, she stepped forward and ruffled his hair, saying, "If that's really what you think, you can stay with your master forever."

“That won’t do.” Butcher Ding shook his head quickly. “I also want to get married and have several big, healthy sons. Someone like you won’t do; you’re too thin and can’t have children. Besides, Tianming doesn’t have my surname, so he can’t stay with me forever.”

Lin Zhu was speechless, thinking, "He's such a simpleton."

"Hahaha!"

Now, Zhang San Niang, Huang Rong, Li Ji, and Jing Ke all laughed.

Jing Tianming asked, completely bewildered, "What are they all laughing at?"

Lin Zhu was speechless. "I shouldn't have suggested you practice the Golden Bell Shield." After saying that, she glared at Zhang San Niang.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Zhang San Niang changed the subject, asking, "Sister Li, have you found a place to stay?"

"Not yet. I don't know why, but many inns in the capital are fully booked." Li Ji sighed. "We're really worried about this!"

"Why don't you stay with us?" Zhang Sanniang said, looking at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu said, "Sure, we have enough rooms anyway."

Li Ji asked, "Won't that be inconvenient?" After all, three of the four of them were men.

Lin Zhu said, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. There are four rooms in total. Sister Yu and Sister Rong'er can sleep in one room. I'll sleep in one room, and the remaining two rooms will be just right for the four of you."

"I want to sleep with Master? Master snores like a ton of bricks." Jing Tianming was speechless. "I want to sleep with Mother, and let Father sleep with Master."

"You brat, I've spoiled you for nothing." Jing Ke glared at his son.

"Does it hurt that much?" Jing Tianming smacked his head, "and then stuck out his tongue."

Li Ji patted Jing Tianming's head. "You're all grown up now, you can't sleep with your mother anymore."

“Then I’ll sleep with Dad, Mom and Brother Lin can sleep together, and Master can sleep alone.” Jing Tianming believed this was the best solution.

"It's not impossible!" Li Ji indicated that she could accept it.

"No way!" Before Jing Ke could even object, Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong immediately objected.

Zhang San Niang felt she couldn't hide it any longer, so she said wearily, "Lin Zhuzhen is a younger brother; he is a man."

Huang Rong nodded in agreement, "Yes, he is a man."

“Impossible, absolutely impossible,” Jing Tianming was the first to object. “He’s even prettier than my mother.”

Li Ji, Jing Ke, and Pao Ding all found it unbelievable.

“Yes, she’s even prettier than the Snow Woman!” Butcher Ding chimed in.

"What, Master Cook likes the Snow Maiden?" Lin Zhu asked with a smile.

"No, how could that be?" Butcher Ding shook his head repeatedly. "Xiao Gao is pursuing the Snow Maiden!"

"Ah, you haven't caught up yet?" Lin Zhu was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Xue Nu and Gao Jianli should be a couple by now.

"No!" Li Ji shook her head and said, "Xiao Gao doesn't know how to express himself, and A Xue is too cold. They're both quiet types. I don't know when they'll be able to get together!"

Lin Zhu asked, "What was her name there?"

"Is she inside too?" Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong asked.

“Yes, Lin’s guess was spot on, but I can’t tell her. She has to tell me herself,” Li Ji said with a smile, then kept staring at Lin Zhu.

Jing Ke stepped forward, blocking her view.

"What a stingy man. I'm not going to run off with someone else." Li Ji pouted.

Jing Ke felt that Lin Zhu was becoming increasingly dangerous, and thought it best if they stopped living together.

They already believed Lin Zhu was a man, judging from the reactions of Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong, both of whom liked him.

It wasn't that Jing Ke didn't trust Li Ji, but Lin Zhu's face was too alluring. He felt that if he looked at her for too long, something terrible would happen.

I was already afraid to look at Lin Zhu too much before, and now I'm even more afraid to look at her.

Of course, it's even less likely that he would let his woman see it.

But right now, I really have nowhere to live.

Seeing Jing Ke's reaction, Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong secretly chuckled, then simultaneously took Lin Zhu's hand and walked ahead.

Huang Rong turned around and said, "Let's go to the inn. Rong'er will cook for you, and Master Cook can also give you some pointers."

“Miss Huang can cook too? Then I’ll show off my skills too, let’s have a competition!” Butcher Ding was the first to chime in.

Jing Tianming followed.

Li Ji and Jing Ke walked at the very back.

Looking at the people coming and going, Jing Tianming said, "Master, if your Youjian Inn were to open here, it would definitely be very popular."

"That won't do. There will be too many guests, and I'll get very tired." Butcher Ding shook his head. He didn't want to live such a tiring life. He just wanted to deliver meals to the teachers at Jixia Academy every day and open the door occasionally. Being too busy was not good.

"Master, you're just lazy. Don't you want to get married? Don't you want to buy a house? Don't you want to have children?"

Jing Tianming unleashed a series of earth-shattering questions.

"Hehe, you don't understand. I have a skill. There are countless fat girls in Langya City who can give birth to big fat sons and daughters and want to marry me. I asked Miss Rong to help me find a wife. After I get the title of the number one chef in the world, I will find you a master's wife."

The butcher looked at Jing Tianming with a smug expression.

"Master, you're already fat. If you find another fat master's wife, won't the children you have be fat too?"

"Of course, how adorable is that big, chubby boy!" said the butcher, patting his belly and appearing even more憨厚 (honest and simple).

Lin Zhu, however, felt that this person was wise beyond their years, and that people really didn't need to live such a tiring life.

At the very back, Li Ji was having a little tiff with Jing Ke. "You stingy man, do you really not trust me at all?"

"No, no, I just don't trust him." Jing Ke pointed at Lin Zhu. "Looking at him, I feel inferior and insecure."

Liji thought about it for a moment, and realized that what she said was indeed very convincing. She had nothing more to say, "You have a point."

Upon hearing this, Jing Ke actually laughed.
