In this crossover anime/manga series, my romantic choices in my head are a bit strange.

One of the hunters behind him moved first. His weapon was a dagger. He quickly rushed behind Lin Tian, ​​his wrist twisting as he gripped the hilt, aiming for his abdomen and back.

Lin Tian didn't turn around. As if sensing something, he turned to the side, bent his right arm and pressed it against the hunter's chest. After a half-second standoff, he thrust his right knee upward.

boom!

The man took a solid hit, but the blow also caused his dagger to pierce Lin Tian's body. However, instead of the sound of it entering flesh as he had expected, there was a clanging sound like metal hitting metal.

"Why am I wearing armor? Ask the goblins!"

Lin Tian sneered, ignoring his fierce resistance. He twisted his body to the right, using the force to grab the man's neck with his right hand and wrap his arms around his entire body with his left. At the same time, the attacks of the other three followed. They were clearly the same kind of people as Huang Dongshi. The greatswords coming from the front completely ignored the unfortunate man Lin Tian was using as a human shield. The downward blades were meant to kill both of them at once. Lin Tian released the hunter from his arms and kicked him forward. The hunter, trying to save his life, knocked the hunter to the ground, and the greatsword went astray.

At this moment, the attacks from both sides reached Lin Tian's face. He ducked his head, and the two swords that were rushing towards him collided. Lin Tian kicked with his left foot and his right foot, briefly knocking the two men back.

Seeing that the attacks of the group were so easily neutralized, and that Lin Tian was not even scratched, Huang Dongshi's face showed anger!

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Huang Dongshi gritted his teeth. He originally thought that four C-rank hunters would be enough to take down Lin Tian, ​​and he would just sit here and watch the show. After Lin Tian had suffered all kinds of torture, he would look down on this ungrateful kid with ease like a victor. But it turned out that this guy named Lin Tian was even stronger than he thought!

"You few surround me, but I'll take care of it myself!"

Huang Dongshi charged towards Lin Tian, ​​drawing his greatsword. A sharp glint flashed, and he aimed a powerful strike to cleave Lin Tian in two. Lin Tian, ​​not to be outdone, drew his short sword and began to fight Huang Dongshi, while the other four launched cunning attacks from behind or the sides.

There are differences between D-rank and D-rank. The D-rank physique given in the options is definitely the strongest among all D-ranks. But then again, D-rank is still D-rank. Faced with the siege of five C-rank hunters, Lin Tian was able to stall for time with his clever tricks and various underhanded methods, but he had no way to break the stalemate.

Lin Tian had never practiced martial arts before, and his fighting skills were only slightly understood. His only teacher when it came to fighting monsters was the goblin. After a while, Lin Tian was panting heavily and sweating profusely. In order to withstand the most threatening attack from Huang Dongshi, many cuts had been made on his side by others. Blood stained his clothes and dripped down his body onto the ground.

Damn it... Can someone tell me why fighting hurts so much?! If Lin Tian's rationality hadn't told him that kneeling down and begging for mercy would be cowardly and the other side wouldn't let him go, he would have already put down his weapon and cried for his parents.

Cheng Zhenyu!! I helped you take down your little boss, how the hell are you going to thank me later?!

"Tsk... I remember there's a girl in the Demon Tower too. I must get Zhenyu to send her to me as a pet."

Lin Tian complained, and in the blink of an eye, he was injured again. He held his short sword and swung it around with all his might. The five people were so intimidated by the power of his sword that they had to take a few steps back.

But that's the limit!

Lin Tian's arms trembled violently, and several cuts made his thighs. At this moment, the effects of the adrenaline wore off, and black lines appeared in his vision. His strength disappeared, his legs went weak, and he knelt on one knee with his sword on the ground.

"Ha ha……"

Huang Dongshi's eyes gleamed with mockery as he smirked and approached Lin Tian. Seeing Huang Dongshi and his group surrounding him, Lin Tian's eyes filled with despair. Damn it, is this really the end? No way! Heh heh… if I can't beat them, I can't run! He has the dungeon scroll!

The despair in Lin Tian's eyes vanished instantly. He looked at Huang Dongshi and the others, and waved with a smile:

Goodbye!

He had just used the dungeon scroll, preparing to continue mocking Huang Dongshi, when the next moment...

A figure descended from the sky. Before Lin Tian could react, several sharp whooshing sounds were heard, and a line of blood appeared on the throats of Huang Dongshi and the others.

"Lin Tian, ​​are you alright?"

Chapter Twenty-Six: You say this is another world?

The newcomer had a head of dashing short blond hair, delicate features, eyes that sparkled with light, and lips that were full yet not gaudy. She was tall and slender and carried a beautiful longsword.

"What the heck... Che, Che Huiyi?"

Who is Hea, this powerful figure? He can summon this S-rank dancer to protect him. Considering the unique circumstances of South Korea, could he be some kind of chaebol heir? Transmigrated to South Korea, my best buddy is a top chaebol?

Che Huiyi nodded, her face slightly flushed. She wasn't ready to face Lin Tian yet, but the situation was urgent, so she had no choice but to take action. Just as she was about to nod, a familiar blue vortex appeared around Lin Tian.

Upon seeing this, Che Huiyi was startled: "What on earth is this thing!"

Remembering that Lin Tian had been taken away by this thing and hadn't been seen for a whole day, Che Huiyi was anxious and quickly reached out to grab Lin Tian, ​​trying to pull him away from the teleportation array.

How could an S-rank hunter possibly contend with the power of the system? Not only did she fail to bring Lin Tian out, but the next moment, the blue vortex suddenly expanded and enveloped Che Huiyi's body. After the vortex disappeared, Che Huiyi herself also disappeared into the alley with Lin Tian, ​​leaving only the corpses of Huang Dongshi and the others.

With a thud, Lin Tian was teleported into the stone cave again.

Shi Chuan sensed someone's arrival. He was initially wary, but after sensing Lin Tian's presence, he became cheerful and happy, as if he had seen a long-lost friend.

"This teleportation was alright, there was even a cushion underneath me... Hmm?" Lin Tian stretched his limbs, feeling as if his body was wrapped in a soft place, which was very comfortable. He subconsciously rubbed against it, then opened his eyes and met a pair of violet eyes.

Lin Tian was shocked. This dancer had actually teleported with him! He cursed the scroll for being unreliable. Looking down, he realized that Che Huiyi was also there, so the softness he had just touched was indeed there.

Che Huiyi acted as his cushion, and Lin Tian touched her breasts with one hand, kneading them gently.

One hand clasped her graceful neck, her legs slightly parted around her waist; the intimate pose was almost like...

"Miss Dancer!"

Lin Tian quickly stood up and said to Che Huiyi, whose face was slightly flushed, "I didn't mean to! It was unavoidable, it's all the fault of this teleportation array..."

"Teleportation array?" Buhao let it slip!

Lin Tian wanted to slap himself. What kind of transmigrator would be so stupid as to reveal their trump card to others? He wondered how to explain all this, where he was now, and whether he could say that this was just his guess and that this was the first time he had seen it—he didn't know that Che Huiyi was following him almost every day, and he had seen this teleportation array once before, otherwise he would never have had this idea.

"never mind."

Che Huiyi shook her head. Seeing Lin Tian's conflicted expression, she knew that this was his secret and couldn't be easily told to outsiders.

Do you treat me like an outsider? How could I be an outsider?!

But the thought that Lin Tian hadn't told her about the other women he'd slept with made her feel strangely at ease, and her smile became elegant and gentle. "Since it's your secret, I won't ask any further. But how do we get out?" She glanced around and asked, "Is this the underground city?"

The only place she could think of with such a bizarre landscape was an underground city.

For once, she felt a surge of excitement: there must be many monsters in the dungeon, and with her abilities, she was sure she could show off in front of Lin Tian and make him understand how powerful her sister was!

"This is indeed a dungeon, but you don't need to defeat a boss to get out."

Seeing Che Huiyi's serious stance, sword raised in defense, Lin Tian explained, "Besides, the monsters in this dungeon won't come out on their own." He puffed out his chest and shouted towards the rock wall:

"Come out!! Send some goblins!!!"

To Che Huiyi's astonishment, the rock wall rippled, and several squeaking, green-skinned goblins, brandishing large clubs, emerged from it like hatching insects. The goblins glanced around, first showing obvious fear and panic towards Lin Tian, ​​then glancing to their right, they saw Che Huiyi standing there with a sword in hand.

Because the portals around Zhenya Apartment were low-level, Che Huiyi arrived lightly equipped, with only a sword urgently delivered by the Hunter Division as her weapon, and was wearing casual clothes.

The loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt became wrinkled due to Lin Tian's movements, exposing her beautiful collarbones. The white ribbons on her shoulders were faintly visible due to sweat. The white short-sleeved shirt bulged high in the chest, supporting two beautiful breasts. Below, a pair of blue denim shorts wrapped around her buttocks and thighs, making her full buttocks round and bulging. Her waist was incredibly slender, and her pair of long and firm legs were even taller than these goblins.

The goblins' eyes lit up instantly! "Gah!" What a beautiful human woman!

"Gah!" Hahaha, we must capture her and breed her! "Gah!" Damn brat, he must know he was wrong!

"Gah!" So you've finally realized how great the goblin lords are! You've decided to offer us this beautiful woman!

"Gah gah!" That's fantastic! Let's not kill him then; we can have him find us women from now on!

Che Huiyi looked at the group of goblins in front of her. Although she couldn't understand what they were saying, their lewd eyes were very similar to those of the thugs she had seen before, and even more so!

Those who retain human reason still have a desire to conquer her, but these monsters simply see her as a breeding tool!

Che Huiyi is angry! "Monster!"

With a flick of her longsword, Che Huiyi bent one knee and leaped to the front of the still-laughing goblins. After a dazzling sword flourish, the goblins were reduced to nothing but dust.

"What a terrifying woman! Was she really this terrifying in the original story?!" Lin Tian exclaimed inwardly. Although she was facing a demon, Che Huiyi's killing intent was undeniably real.

On the other side, Che Huiyi frowned as she looked at the spot where the goblin had been. There was no goblin corpse there, but several purple magic stones. She picked them up and examined them closely, but found nothing unusual.

"Xiao Tian, ​​are you sure this is an underground city?" "X-Xiao Tian?"

Lin Tian stared at Che Huiyi in astonishment. He felt that the way she addressed him was too intimate, and it reminded him of a food delivery worker.

“Uh… Come to think of it, I’m much older than you, so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with addressing you like this.” Che Huiyi’s expression was calm, but unlike her outward appearance, she was actually very nervous inside, afraid that she would reveal something was wrong.

The more she thought about the serious consequences of being exposed, the calmer she became. Holding the magic stone, she asked him, "Those monsters disappeared into thin air after they died. That doesn't happen in the dungeon!"

Huh? Oh, right.

This reminder made Lin Tian realize that after Cheng Zhenyu obtained the system, he could directly obtain materials by killing monsters, and the corpses of those monsters would not disappear.

But this is indeed a dungeon; the options don't lie to me.

He quickly came up with an explanation: this dungeon was not that dungeon! "Could this be another world...?"

The unintentional muttering was overheard by Che Huiyi, who was of S-rank. Another world! Why would he think that?

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Old Deng, transform!

Lin Tian didn't know what Che Huiyi was thinking. Since Che Huiyi had already come in—and only to save him—he also felt it necessary to tell her what he knew about this underground city.

"As for the boss, there's even less to worry about. Um, Sister Huiyi... is it okay for me to call you that?"

He secretly glanced at Che Huiyi's figure. She had a curvy figure with a wasp waist and narrow shoulders. Her full hips were slightly wider than her shoulders. Coupled with the heroic spirit she had gained from years of entering the underground city, she was dashing and charming.

"Um, um... no problem." Oh my god, he called me Sister Huiyi!

He's telling the truth! He cares about me!

"This dungeon has a time limit; as long as we stay for 24 hours, we can go back."

"Ah."

Che Huiyi nodded, her eyes fixed on Lin Tian, ​​without continuing.

The two stood facing each other, looking at each other, and the cave was very quiet.

No, why is this so awkward?

Lin Tian thought for a moment and decided to use the magical cave to break the deadlock. "Old Deng, conjure up a room for me!!" After a while, the cave walls inside began to undulate, and layers of crystalline light gradually appeared, transforming into several shimmering walls. The light also climbed up from the ground, forming a transparent glass table and two transparent chairs with backrests. For some reason, the cave even created a bed nearby…

"Sister Huiyi, please sit down!"

"Ok."

Che Huiyi was no longer surprised by these things. When faced with new situations, she could quickly distinguish between useful and useless information, and these newly appeared tables and chairs were all within her expectations. The only slight surprise was the high quality of the material. She glanced at it briefly; it was crystal clear, as if floating in the air, with only faint patterns on the edges proving that it was indeed a table.

"Sister Huiyi, why are you there?"

Lin Tian gave a humble smile, full of respect for his senior, "If it weren't for Sister Huiyi, I would have died at the hands of those people!"

"Being entrusted with this task, and also to uphold justice and eliminate evil, is what I, as an S-rank hunter, should do."

Che Huiyi spoke calmly, her posture dignified and upright, a result of long-term practice.

"Who do you think attacked you?" "Without a doubt, it was the Sword Draw Guild!"

Lin Tian said, his face filled with resentment. He never made enemies and was just an ordinary nobody, so why would someone specifically target him to kill?

"So what do you want to do?" Che Huiyi's eyes narrowed.

To be honest, the Sword-Drawing Guild had a pretty tragic story in the original work. They exhausted all their schemes and sent out all their peak combat power to carry out a plan to replicate the glorious deeds of their ancestors, only to be wiped out by demons, and their national strength never recovered.

Lin Tian felt that wasn't enough. Since they had provoked him, they would suffer even more! Having lost a large number of S-rank hunters, Japan would have to rely on the Cleaners Guild from America to resolve the portal disaster within its borders. Hiring them at a high commission would eventually turn Japan into America's puppet state. Even now, as a puppet, Japan could persuade the major guilds in the central region to unite and seize Japan's interests? No way. He was too insignificant. The guild leaders not only had immediate interests to consider but also political factors. Given the situation in South Korea, they couldn't interfere in the affairs of other countries.

Or should we rely on Cheng Zhenyu, allowing him to secretly control Japan with absolute power?

Upon closer reflection, this won't work either. Cheng Zhenyu, as the male lead, is decisive in killing enemies, but he won't kill people who haven't offended him. Besides, does this young man who only knows how to fight know how to control others?

Lin Tian considered other possible approaches, but ultimately found that none of them would work.

Can I only rely on myself?

He didn't tell Che Huiyi his thoughts, but instead asked her about her relationship with Hea, whom he knew. Che Huiyi was prepared and described Hea as her longtime comrade-in-arms, with whom she had a very close relationship.

After several conversations, Lin Tianjing felt that Che Huiyi was very much to his liking. Even if she tried to flatter him, he could answer her questions perfectly. Moreover, her hobbies, personality, and insights were all very compatible with his!

Are we a match made in heaven?

He suddenly felt that giving Che Huiyi to that kid Zhenyu was too good for him.

The two never sparked any romance, so dating her like this doesn't count as stealing someone else's love, does it?

Lin Tian made up his mind. Since Hea was the other party's comrade-in-arms, he would learn more about Che Huiyi from her in the future. Their relationship would definitely progress rapidly!

"Sister Huiyi..."

Che Huiyi had a few beads of sweat on her face, and upon closer inspection, her brows and eyes already showed signs of fatigue.

Was the dungeon raid in the afternoon that tough?

Luckily, Zhenya sprayed it early, otherwise this beauty would have found out!

Once she finds out he's a scumbag who's cheating on her with three women, how will he ever be able to win her over?

Lin Tian thought for a moment and said:

"Sister Huiyi, are you tired?"

"Uh... I'm a little tired, but protecting you won't be a problem." So this is a dancer!

Lin Tian shook his head:

"No need, Sister Huiyi, trust me! There's no one else in this dungeon!"
