Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

"Shichenjiu~ I've been missing for the whole afternoon~"

"Physically?" Shi Chen's brows twitched.

"It's me, meow~" Phyllis hopped to the edge of the pool and jumped in.

Puff-!

Water splashed everywhere, hitting Shichen in the face.

Shichen wiped the water off his face and looked expressionlessly at Phyllis who was swimming towards him.

The fact that Phyllis dared to jump like that naturally meant that she was not wearing anything and was not wearing a bath towel.

Shi Chen just faced her head on.

This guy, except for one aspect, is really no different from a girl. His skin looks delicate and fair, tender and thin, without any of the roughness of a man.

It’s a pity that there is a certain place that simply cannot be ignored.

This is also the main reason why Shichen has a blank expression on his face. Anyone who sees a cute boy will be speechless.

Come to think of it, it was his first time bathing with a man.

Why is it so awkward to be honest with each other?

"Shichen, what are you thinking about, meow~" Phyllis and Shichen leaned against each other and asked with a smile.

When their shoulders touched, she could feel the delicacy of his skin.

Damn, he’s no worse than girls.

"...I'm thinking I should leave."

"Eh? I just got here." Phyllis complained dissatisfiedly.

"I've already made it."

Shi Chen got up and left the bath without any hesitation.

"Shichen, are you really leaving? Stay with me for a while~ You don't hate me, do you?"

"No, I'm just not used to taking a bath with a man."

"Is that so? Fine then, but yours is quite big, Shichen."

"Shut up!" Shi Chen turned around and scolded unhappily, then quickened his pace and left.

Shi Chen breathed a sigh of relief after drying himself, putting on his clothes and leaving the bathroom.

He always felt like he had just experienced a nightmare.

"Shichen? What are you doing here?" A stern voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Shichen's worries.

"Crouch? What are you doing?" Tokiwa looked at Cruich and found that she was holding a pile of clothes.

“Oh, Ferris didn’t bring any change of clothes, so I got them for him.” Crusch explained.

"So, you two have such a good relationship?"

“Yes, Ferris grew up with me.” Crusch smiled slightly, a sincere smile.

“So... you want to take a bath with him?” Tokishi glanced at Crusch in a yukata and raised his eyebrows.

"Why would I bathe with Ferris? There is a difference between men and women." Crusch looked at Shichen in confusion.

"That's right... So, you two don't have any special relationship?"

“Shichen, you mean that Ferris and I have a relationship?” Crusch understood what Shichen meant.

"Well, after all, you two have been childhood sweethearts, so you should have a very good relationship."

"We are just partners. There is no relationship between man and woman." Crusch shook his head.

"That's true... Don't you like Phyllis?"

"I like Phyllis, but I don't have any romantic feelings for her. I have abandoned this feeling a long time ago."

"Sorry, I asked too much."

“It’s okay, Shichen, you are asking this because you care about the relationship between me and Ferris, right?” Crusch stared into Shichen’s eyes.

"I care...I really do." Shi Chen nodded in acknowledgement.

After all, a piece of his divine fragment is in her. It would be disgusting if she had an affair with other men.

The main reason is that Crusch and Ferris have such a good relationship.

Otherwise, how could he not believe in the option of hosting the fragments of the divine nature.

Confirming the relationship will also help determine his future course of action.

"Does that mean you care about me?" Crusch asked.

"I care about you... well, you're so pretty after all, it's normal for me to care about you, right? I'm also a normal male."

“Do I look good?” Crusch showed a surprised expression.

"You are indeed very beautiful. In my opinion, you are very charming and attractive." Shi Chen spoke truthfully.

As a modern man, he is naturally very open-minded and doesn't mind women wearing men's clothes and wielding swords on the battlefield.

Rather, it is more attractive this way.

“Is that so…?”

Because Shichen's praise was too direct and Crusch had never heard such praise before, she became shy.

In her mind, Betty's words that she would be the woman of the time in the future echoed again.

She didn't know whether it was true or not, but she did care about it, and she felt more and more that Shichen was very suitable for her.

Such a powerful man who can ignore the rules will definitely help her break the pedantry that has persisted in this country until now.

"You should go and give Phyllis some clothes, otherwise he will be done taking a bath soon." Shi Chen reminded.

"Felice showers very slowly, he takes a long bath... Shichen, can you wait for me?" Crusch asked suddenly.

"Wait for you?"

"Well, have a drink with me... You don't mind if it's a female?"

"Of course I don't mind. I'll wait for you."

"it is good."

After Kurushi delivered the clothes, Shichen followed her upstairs and came to a balcony.

In a corner of the balcony, there are white tables and chairs.

"The night breeze is cool and pleasant tonight. It seems to be a good time to enjoy wine while watching the night sky."

Crusch took a look at the night and motioned for Shichen to sit down.

Shichen sat opposite her and asked, "Come to think of it, why didn't you wait for Phyllis to finish washing so she could drink with you?"

"Phyllis will take a long time to wash, and I also want to have a drink with you, Shichen."

"And me?"

"Yeah, it might be nice to drink with people of different opinions like this."

"Right."

Crusch began to pour the amber wine into the glass. Shichen took it, clinked it with his cup, and took a sip.

Unexpectedly smooth.

Crusch took a sip, put down the glass, savored the wine, and narrowed his eyes.

She now has long green hair, and there is nothing abrupt about the hair color. It suits her perfectly, showing her feminine charm at this moment.

“What’s wrong?” Crusch noticed Tokichi’s gaze.

"It's okay. Just looking at you like this, you are really beautiful, Crusch."

"Shichen, are you... so direct in your speech?" Crusch couldn't help but ask.

"I always like to tell the truth."

“So that’s how it is. No wonder you could talk about Emilia’s beauty directly at that time.” Crusch suddenly realized.

"Oh? You think Emilia is beautiful too."

"There's nothing to deny, but the world won't accept her beauty." Crusch said calmly.

"Indeed, this world is still too pedantic."

"Do you think so too?" Crusch looked at him excitedly.

"Well, whether it's the nobles' face or the reliance on the covenant with the Dragon God, it's all so pedantic."

As for the world's fear of Emilia's appearance, Shi Chen was too lazy to talk about it. After all, this was a problem of the times, and it was a disaster caused by ordinary people's fear of terrifying forces.

There's no way to change this.

Fear is the instinct of living things.

"Yes, it's too old-fashioned, so I want to be the king and change this country!" Crusch said excitedly.

"I know. I remember clearly what you said in the hall. I admire you very much."

"I admire you... Shichen, you are really different. Do you want to follow me?" Crusch asked excitedly.

"Follow you?" Shi Chen looked at her strangely.

"Yes, I believe that with your help, we can achieve our goal." Crusch's eyes were bright and he was in high spirits.

"You're not drunk, are you?"

"Shichen, you're joking. I can drink a lot."

"How can you still say such a thing? I am Emilia's knight now. Do you think I will betray her?"

"It should be difficult. After all, you like her."

"Then you dare to say it out loud?"

"I just said what I wanted to say. Let's not talk about success or failure. It's not my character to hide things."
