Snap!
Tingyun captured a photo of Jing Liu intimately kissing Su Jinyan.
Shortly after, Tingyun created a group chat named "Anti-Jingliu Alliance."
She added all the girls who had shared ambiguous relationships with Su Jinyan.
[Playing Cards on the Line]: What's this group for?
[Unfeeling Divination Machine]: Tingyun, did you also notice something amiss?
[Zhao Camera]: Miss Tingyun, what has Miss Jingliu done to warrant such opposition from us?
[Today's Dumpster Dive]: Seriously, what kind of lame group is this? Nobody even posts lewd pics.
Tingyun's pretty face darkened slightly as she uploaded the photo of Jingliu and Su Jinyan kissing within the group.
[Little Fox's Benefactor]: Everyone, have you seen this?
[Today's Dumpster Dive]: You're actually posting lewd pics?
[Shangshang's Sole Account]: Seeing my most admired person kissing my favorite person—it stirs complex emotions within me.
[Unfeeling Divination Machine]: @Little Fox's Benefactor, share your location; this venerable one will arrive promptly.
[Playing Cards on the Line]: Tingyun, seriously? Enduring public humiliation like that?
[Zhao Camera]: Although I sympathize with Miss Tingyun, she probably can't beat Jingliu, right?
[Snowy Jacket]: What's up with this group? There seems to be some lag on my end.]
[Posting Under Real Name: Thrilling! I've always wanted to do something like that.]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: ?]
[System Notification: 'Posting Under Real Name' has been removed from the group chat by the group owner.]
[Playing with Cards on the Line: Laughed till death.]
Within the Seat of Divine Foresight, Jing Yuan clutched his chest, feeling suffocated as he gazed at the photograph of Su Jinyan and Jing Liu locked in a passionate kiss.
Yes, logic dictates everything makes sense.
But Master, weren't you relentlessly pursuing Minister Su just earlier? How did it escalate to kissing so quickly?
And why involve me in this Anti-Jing Liu Alliance?
[Posting Under Real Name: Wait, everyone, listen to me, I understand your sentiments.]
[But why would the Anti-Jing Liu Alliance include me too?]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: General, please, I beg you, can you keep your master under control?]
[Unfeeling Divination Machine: +1]
[Playing with Cards on the Line: +1]
[Shangshang's Sole Account: +1]
[Zhao Camera: +1]
[System Notification: 'Posting Under Real Name' has exited the group chat.]
If I could control my esteemed master, do you think she'd be causing trouble in Luofu right now?
Jing Yuan's hand trembled slightly as he beckoned Yanqing over.
"Yanqing, prepare some Tribulation Barrier Alleviating Powder for me; I feel my Mara-Struck condition is about to flare up."
Yanqing remained speechless.
[Heartless Divination Machine: @Little Fox's Benefactor, this venerable one asked for your location.]
[Snowy Robe: Just moments ago, I received intimate photos from Stray Cat.]
[Before I could address them, more such images arrived.]
[What is this stirring emotion within me?]
[Playing with Fate: @Snowy Robe, it's murderous intent, Lady Xueyi.]
[Shangshang's Sole Account: Ah, unsure whom to envy right now.]
[Playing with Fate: ? Something's off about you.]
[Heartless Divination Machine: @Little Fox's Benefactor, this venerable one said, report your location!]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: Everyone, please don't fret; let me analyze the situation first.]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: Why establish the Anti-Jing Liu Alliance? It's a serious question indeed.]
Tingyun wore a grave expression as his fingers rapidly typed on the virtual keyboard projected by the jade divination tablet.
The little fox, engrossed in her online surfing, failed to notice that their lips had subtly parted.
[Little Fox's Benefactor: Miss Jingliu possesses a unique ability.]
[Her body temperature is exceptionally low, enabling her to freeze anything she desires instantly.]
[Just now, this humble one observed Miss Jingliu forcefully kissing our Benefactor.]
[When attempting to separate them, I discovered that Benefactor's lips were stuck to Miss Jingliu's.]
[This is due to Miss Jingliu's special ability.]
[Worried about harming Benefactor, this humble one couldn't pry them apart.]
[Shangshang's Sole Account: So envious.]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: Don't be jealous!]
[Playing Cards with Fate: Try using hot water @Little Fox's Benefactor]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: It doesn't work; this humble maiden has already tried.]
[Even pouring hot water over Miss Jingliu would instantly freeze due to her surrounding chill.]
[Shangshang's Sole Account: I want to learn it too.]
[Zhao Camera: What does Miss Jingliu think about that?]
[Have you attempted persuading Miss Jingliu to separate from Little Su?]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: No kidding, she never listens to anything this humble maiden says.]
[Snowy Coat: +1]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: But my concern isn't just about that.]
[It's whether Miss Jingliu might have other intentions.]
[If she can freeze Benefactor's lips today, tomorrow she could freeze his...]
[Zhao Camera: ?]
[Playing Cards with Fate: ?]
[Shangshang's Sole Account: Tomorrow freeze Jinyan-gege's what?]
[Unfeeling Divination Machine: @Little Fox's Benefactor, no need to report your location anymore.]
[This venerable one has already requested the technician to pinpoint your jade divination tablet's position and is heading there now.]
[System Notification: Punklorde's Silver Wolf has joined the group chat.]
[Little Fox's Benefactor:?]
[@Punklorde's Silver Wolf, how did you get in here?]
[Punklorde's Silver Wolf: Just woke up and saw something interesting, so I decided to join for some fun.]
[Playing with Cards on the Line: @Punklorde's Silver Wolf, who exactly are you?]
[Punklorde's Silver Wolf: How did you all know that Su Jinyan kept me up all night last evening?]
[Playing with Cards on the Line:?]
[Heartless Divination Machine:?]
[Zhao Camera:?]
[System Notification: The group admin has removed Punklorde's Silver Wolf from the chat.]
[Playing with Cards on the Line: @Heartless Divination Machine, Grand Diviner, letting such a golden opportunity slip away is understandable, but...]
[How could you allow someone else to steal your chance? You're truly useless, aren't you?]
[Heartless Divination Machine: Shut up!]
[Heartless Divination Machine: That Silver Wolf was deceiving you; she merely spent the night playing arcade games with her traitorous disciple.]
[Playing with Cards on the Line: Such a pure-hearted Grand Diviner deserves A-Yan's utmost appreciation.]
[Heartless Divination Machine:?]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: Everyone, let's stop talking now. It's time for a new round of voting.]
[Please actively participate, everyone.]
[Poll: As a member of the Anti-Jingliu Alliance, do you support taking down the evil Jingliu?]
[Option 1: Support]
[Option 2: Strongly Support]
[Option 3: Let's Eliminate Jingliu Now!]
[Shangshang's Sole Account: Why isn't there an option to oppose?]
[System Notification: Shangshang's Sole Account has been removed from the group chat by the group owner.]
[Zhao Camera: Power abusers!]
[System Notification: Zhao Camera has been muted for 1 hour by the group owner.]
A hint of amusement played on Tingyun's lips as they typed, "It seems everyone is supportive, which puts this humble one at ease."
[@Shangshang's Sole Account, Miss Sushang, if she can freeze A-Yan's lips today, tomorrow it could be his 'you-know-what'.]
[Playing with Cards: ...Is Lady Xueyi experiencing such bad internet connection?]
Shortly after:
Stelle created a group chat named "The Virtuous Husband," inviting Fu Xuan, Qingque, March 7th, Sushang, and Xueyi.
Fu Xuan established a group chat titled "Anti-Stellaron Hunter Alliance," inviting Qingque, March 7th, Sushang, Xueyi, and Tingyun.
March 7th created a group chat named "Xianzhou Luofu's Fun and Leisure" and invited Qingque, Fu Xuan, Sushang, Xueyi, Tingyun, and Su Jinyan.
Qingque established a group chat titled "Imperial Jade of the Great Wall: Three Players Short" and invited Sushang, Xueyi, Tingyun, Su Jinyan, and March 7th.
Silver Wolf's eyes darted between the screens, overwhelmed by the sheer volume. Unable to resist pondering, they thought, Creating over forty group chats—don't you have anything better to do?
Why establish so many groups? With this many, how can I possibly monitor them all?
In their well-intentioned wisdom, Silver Wolf disbanded all the chat groups, including even the Anti-Jing Liu Alliance.
Tingyun bit her lip, nearly dropping her jade divination tablet in anger.
Once again, her grand plan had been foiled by some mysterious adversary!
Taking a deep breath, Tingyun snapped out of her intense online browsing and checked if Jingliu and Su Jinyan had indeed parted ways.
The private room was empty; there was no trace of them.
"Huh?"
Tingyun blinked her lovely eyes, falling into deep contemplation.
Just then, Fu Xuan rushed in, forcefully kicking open the door.
"Tingyun, where's Jingliu? And A-Yan?"
With a vacant gaze, Tingyun slowly shook her head. "This humble one doesn't know either."
Fu Xuan stared incredulously.
