Chapter 54: A Attack Stronger Than a Box-Opening

【AlwaysSeventeen: Hmph!╭(╯^╰)╮ Of course it’s me!】

【BigMoeGod: That’s not you!】

Others didn’t know, but Jia Ji understood exactly what kind of character this one was— as the Youkai Sage, she was certainly no good, and describing her as a “cunning, scheming youkai” was no exaggeration.

In the photo, she wore a white soft cap, its edges wrinkled, with a red satin ribbon tied into a cute bow at the front; golden hair spilled out from beneath it, and she was dressed in an elaborate white dress, over which lay a deep purple garment resembling a Daoist robe, with a yin-yang jade embroidered at the hem, upon which a hexagram was inscribed.

Yet apart from this classic sage outfit, she looked nothing like a sage—more like an adorable neighborhood girl, with an almost perfect face, pure purple eyes, a tiny delicate nose, and rosy lips, her expression brimming with liveliness and a radiant smile.

She held a gloved white hand beside her face, showing a glistening little canine tooth, giving a “V” sign, her eyes sparkling as if filled with tiny stars— a stark contrast to Jia Ji’s expectations!

What the hell? Not Little Purple, not Purple Mom— it’s Purple Sister!

She radiated the pure energy of a seventeen-year-old idol!

Queen of selfies!

Her tactics far surpassed Xia Na’s by an unimaginable margin!

Who could possibly withstand this?!

He felt an urge to instantly teleport to the Eastern World and give this Purple Sister a proper lesson!

“I can take it! I can handle it!”

The group rules didn’t forbid lewd stuff, did they? Jia Ji rubbed his chin, glanced again at the constantly provoking Yuyun Zi in the group, and decided not to coddle her.

“Chelsea—” he called out to the orange-haired girl nearby.

“I’m~ here~”

Chelsea, chewing on a lollipop, shuffled over listlessly; she knew from the lollipop alone that he calling her meant trouble… oh, the lollipops had nearly all been stolen by this hateful guy.

“Wait, you’re not… ” When she felt Jia Ji’s wolfish, burning gaze sweep over her girl’s face, she suddenly paled, imagining a terrifying possibility.

He wouldn’t be so desperate as to snatch the lollipop straight from her mouth, would he? That thing was coated in her saliva!

If Jia Ji could read minds, he’d surely reply, “Downer girl.”

Unfortunately he couldn’t, so he immediately began acting as client, commanding Chelsea to transform.

Transform into whom? Of course—the self-sacrificing Sage, Yuyun Zi! Once she possessed Chelsea, what she wore was no longer her choice!

He corrected her appearance against the photo, and after Chelsea collapsed and recovered three times, she finally resembled Yuyun Zi to a degree of nine or ten out of ten.

“Perfect. Now she’s ten percent identical… this Imperial Artifact truly delights me.”

This was far superior to AI face-swapping!

Jia Ji snapped seven or eight photos of the maid-dressed “Yuyun Zi” striking various embarrassing poses, then picked the one he liked best.

“Change again!”

Uniform Yuyun Zi, qipao Yuyun Zi, ninja Yuyun Zi, swimsuit… oh, no last one—not yet time for swimsuits.

Before Jia Ji could make more demands, Chelsea was already dizzy, panting, stars swirling before her eyes.

Even Jia Ji, a prodigy at bullying the weak, felt a flicker of guilt— he reflected for a full two seconds whether he’d been too harsh.

“Alright, go play somewhere else.”

After handing her two lollipops he’d taken from Chelsea, Jia Ji waved her off— the photos he’d just taken were enough to crush Yuyun Zi’s arrogant attitude.

He clicked send, set the message as group essential, and @everyone—all in one smooth motion.

【BigMoeGod: Are these photos of you? @AlwaysSeventeen】

【YinYangEyeJianzi: Waaaahhh, this this this…】

Something more terrifying than a box-opening attack has appeared!

Before the real person could say anything, someone in the group leapt out to condemn the group owner’s immoral behavior— must condemn!

【Xia Na: Disgusting! Lewd maniac! Hentai!!】

【AngelAfterDeath: Not even human!】

【YinYangEyeJianzi: Criminal act!】

Though only in her teenage form, the Youkai Sage’s figure far surpassed everyone else in the group—perhaps only the future Esdees could rival her.

Jia Ji didn’t need to look—he knew that after seeing each bold, magazine-cover-worthy lewd photo of their own group member, Xia Na’s face must have flushed crimson, furious and embarrassed, yet unable to stop sneaking glances.

Though she scolded loudly, Xia Na and Xiao Zou’s limited vocabulary couldn’t even match a mosquito bite— how could it harm this shameless invincible man?

Sister, you’re cursing like you’re flirting.jpg

Yuyun Zi’s account, whose skin hadn’t yet hardened to seven-layer-wall thickness, was utterly incapacitated by the barrage of her own lewd photos.

【AlwaysSeventeen: I won’t dare again (＞ Ren ＜；)】

Then, clever as Jianzi was, she immediately realized the premise— if photos were in his hands, they could be copied and used to socially destroy group members.

Xia Na quickly grasped this too, and fell silent at once— her own photos had been the first posted; who knew if Jia Ji had done the same to her?

Instantly, as if everyone had been muted, no one spoke.

【BigMoeGod: Hehe, hehehehe! You’ve all seen what happened to Zi— there are things in this world far more terrifying than muting, a hundred times or even ninety-nine times worse! I want to see who dares defy me, their group owner now!】

【IceQueen: Oh?】

“Shit!” Jia Ji had been so focused on punishing Purple Sister that he’d forgotten Esdees was still here— he’d accidentally @everyone and blown her out of hiding.

In recent days, after the aftermath of their actions spread, news of the minister’s death and the capital’s chaos had triggered rebellions among foreign tribes and revolutionary armies; battle reports poured in constantly, and the capital’s focus had shifted from hunting the killer to quelling the unrest.

And the original instigators, Najeta and Esdees, were now summoned under this backdrop.

When they received this order, the following dialogue occurred:

“Won’t they come after us?”

“What’s to fear? We didn’t kill the minister.”

Esdees said indifferently— only Jia Ji had shown his face that day. Even if they were traced, what could they do? The entire Ounest faction had been nearly wiped out; the survivors might even see them as heroes who punished evil.

Because of these trivial matters, Esdees hadn’t checked the group chat all day— until Jia Ji’s @everyone alerted her to the fact that he’d been doing this behind her back—and had the audacity to boast about it!

【IceQueen: Have you become too arrogant lately? Stay right where you are. Wait for me.】

Question: What is stronger than a box-opening attack?

— Real-life confrontation!
