Chapter 136: Trouble

This world is such that even mingling as an idol has its set of martial arts routines; almost everywhere in Asia they have taken the evil path—that is male cultivating female techniques. In this world there are several martial arts biased toward female-exclusive use—for example, the Eternal Youth Technique and similar; this martial art cannot be used for fighting but can maintain beauty and appearance, especially it can greatly slow down surface aging—at least on visible skin.

It can be said that this type of martial art puts all its skills into beauty and maintenance; ordinary male martial artists would not practice such things, but female martial artists will practice a bit to some extent, and the older they are, the more energy they put in...... and for youths who aspire to debut as idol actors, this kind of kung fu is almost a necessity to practice.

After Bai Lang had looked over his own 'memorial tablet for the deceased', he returned to the booked hotel with a peculiar cheerful mood; since he was idle anyway, it was not bad to use the computer in the hotel room to go online. 'Another famous web novel adaptation? Or the hottest group making their debut filming a TV drama?' Bai Lang saw another new actor playing Bai Lang, 'This world just lacks a certain Xu...'

It's also hard work, ah—although I skip many cultural classes, but if you want to go down this path you have to painstakingly practice from childhood this trash 'martial art' like the Eternal Youth Technique, and you can't neglect some genuine fist and foot martial arts, otherwise your physique won't be good enough, your movements won't be sufficiently graceful and agile...... That's right, the celebrities in this world almost all have a foundation in movement; they can switch to action stars at any time. Bai Lang also felt that indeed, no matter where, wanting to make a living is actually not easy.

The Eternal Youth Technique has never been 'encrypted' so far; perhaps it is the most 'profound' martial art that ordinary people can easily come into contact with. The difficulty and threshold of cultivating these martial arts are not low, and the combat power gained is not proportional to the cultivation difficulty. Bai Lang naturally also obtained it before, but on the contrary, in the past during the late Ming dynasty's inner court there was no such martial art. It remains a martial art that cannot be cultivated and used; Bai Lang cannot see what reference value these martial arts have for him.

The problem with male cultivating female techniques is that it easily makes one effeminate; one's bearing unintentionally carries a touch of effeminacy. However, nowadays aesthetics are abnormal, and such effeminate types are all the rage. Bai Lang sometimes also watches so-called TV dramas and finds that the proportion of effeminate players is increasing. 'Don't worry, it's none of my business; only after doing well in the check-up tomorrow and fighting the day after tomorrow is the proper way!'

Just as he was about to lie down, the doorbell rang. 'Who would be looking for me? Besides, this is the hotel's business suite; random people probably can't come up, right? At least it's not that easy... I didn't call room service either?' Bai Lang, somewhat puzzled, ran to the door and looked out through the peephole. 'Can't figure it out? Is this some kind of simp's revenge?'

Bai Lang looked at himself and felt it wasn't good, so he put on a bathrobe. Then he quickly put on a T-shirt and big shorts, beach shorts, and went to the door again to open it. Outside was Tian Li, the one who had been desperately licking the so-called 'Bai Lang' before. Since the last time at the birthday banquet when he clashed with the yellow-haired guys, Bai Lang has never gone to see Tian Li again; of course, the messages that came back were just the three words 'uh ah oh', perfectly returning everything Tian Li had done to the simp.

Tian Li was still dressed quite purely; Bai Lang watched her blink and blink, 'How did you come here?' This is a rhetorical question. 'I'm here to cheer you on!' Tian Li said matter-of-factly, 'Won't you invite me in to sit a while?'

Bai Lang let out an uh, 'It's dark, a lone man and woman; speaking freely in a melon field and under a plum tree is inappropriate. So do you have a place to stay? Just come watch my match the day after tomorrow.' Besides, even though practicing martial arts temporarily prevents him from being with women, even if he achieved great divine power and could fool around freely, Bai Lang still doesn't want to get entangled with this woman. One can see this woman is fundamentally all scheming, but not causing trouble is her biggest merit.

Such a woman is just clinging to her looks and body, hoping to gain the maximum benefit; catching a golden turtle son-in-law is their idea, so wandering between several men, being hot and cold, finally choosing the most suitable one is quite normal—but Bai Lang does not want at all to be the chosen one. Junior Guardian Bai kills people very proactively and enthusiastically, but he has no interest in pursuing women or being pursued by women.

'What's good about women practicing kung fu? Martial arts make me happy! I think that even though Old Mischievous Zhou Botong's mind is basically ruined, some of his words still make sense. Those women who bring trouble, where would they find practicing kung fu that enjoyable!' Bai Lang thought so, while Tian Li's face turned red in front of him; after looking at Bai Lang for a while and seeing that he really thought speaking unclearly in a melon field and under a plum tree would not let her in, she pouted and said, 'I haven't booked a room!' She was also a little angry.

Bai Lang turned and walked toward the internal phone by the bedside; Tian Li took the opportunity to walk in and, incidentally, closed the door. Bai Lang also couldn't be bothered to manage her little thoughts; as long as he gets a place to stay, it's fine. 'Hello, I'd like to book another standard room, check out the day after tomorrow, thank you.'

After hanging up, Bai Lang turned to face Tian Li, 'Since you came to cheer me on, I shouldn't shortchange you. Like this, I've already booked a room; you just stay there, and I'll pay the room fee.'

'Don't you treat me as a friend?' Tian Li said, looking into Bai Lang's eyes; Bai Lang let out a laugh, 'Tian Li classmate, you are certainly my friend. So this isn't because friends share finances that I booked a room for you? Let's go downstairs to finish the procedures; just remember to come cheer me on the day after tomorrow.' After saying that, Bai Lang took the lead and walked toward the door. Bai Lang secretly prayed in his heart that this woman wouldn't go crazy, and later come running over to confess something.....

With that...... feeling great? Of course it's great; no matter how you say it, Tian Li counts as a beauty, but the problem is Bai Lang won't accept it—feeling great inside doesn't mean he has to accept it, right? It's just out of a kind of 'I'm damn handsome!' mentality.

With an unmoved original heart, things also develop toward the better side; Tian Li didn't cause any trouble, but rather cooperatively completed the check-in procedures, though she firmly refused to let Bai Lang pay, instead paying the room fee herself. This actually surprised Bai Lang a bit.

'This opponent is a good-for-nothing! So there's nothing to analyze in terms of battle strategy.' Tian Li pulled Bai Lang to have him talk about his opponent, and this woman actually produced a stack of reports she had collected about the martial arts characteristics of this fellow named Fang Zhibei, a student at Imperial Capital University for this occasion. Of course Bai Lang couldn't easily dismiss Tian Li's good intentions—no matter how scheming, but her approach is goodwill, and Bai Lang is still willing to accept it.

Bai Lang flipped through the report with a rustling sound—of course it was in the coffee shop inside the hotel lobby—and after looking at this person's martial arts characteristics, Bai Lang quickly nodded and came to this conclusion.
