Seeing someone kneel before him, clinging to his leg and begging him to handle his sister, Ji Mo was utterly bewildered.
What the heck?
If you said you wanted to learn my pick-up techniques, that would make sense. But begging a scumbag to mess with your own sister?
Wait, wasn't this kid the younger brother of that pretty boy from earlier?
"Your sister, which one?" Ji Hanhan inquired.
"The one from just now, the shrew who was jealous of your peerless pick-up skills and spoke ill of you with a face full of envy."
Nangong Chou, who had just had his wife's dowry scammed away, didn't hold back at all, describing his own sister as worthless.
"That pretty boy's sister?"
Ji Mo breathed a huge sigh of relief. That meant Little Boniu hadn't been taken advantage of, which was a stroke of luck.
But then he thought about it again, and something felt very wrong.
If a woman who liked to dress as a man was making advances towards Boniu, that was a much bigger problem.
"Master, you've been with countless women. Didn't you realize my sister was a woman? Weren't you deliberately arguing with her just now to attract her attention, then step by step capture her heart, gaining both wealth and beauty?"
Nangong Chou looked at Ji Mo with a smile, wearing an expression that said, "I've seen through it all."
Ji Mo's forehead was covered in black lines. He was a pure and upright, socially responsible youth who kept himself clean. How could he do such a thing?
He snorted, "You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in that person at all."
"No, you must be interested in my sister. Look at her, she doesn't act like a woman at all, and now she seems to be making advances towards women. If this continues, it will definitely be disastrous. Please, you must handle her. Of course, I'm not asking you to deceive her feelings or her body, just to use your masculine charm to make her a normal woman. If you succeed, there will be no shortage of benefits."
Nangong Chou revealed his identity and background, stating that he would not mistreat Ji Mo. Upon success, the Nangong family would not only offer generous rewards but also treat Ji Mo as an honored guest.
Gaining the friendship of the Nangong family would allow him to resolve any issues even if he provoked the wrong wealthy women in the future, removing any worries.
Ji Mo's mouth twitched. What charm did he have? He was just bragging earlier. Did they really think he was a love guru, a peerless Casanova?
He couldn't do this and expressed his inability to help.
"No way? Is my sister already beyond saving? She's already started taking my money, and who knows, she might even snatch the women I like in the future. Won't my future be shrouded in darkness?"
Nangong Chou slumped to the ground, full of melancholy, a strong sense of crisis overwhelming him.
In any case, he felt that Nangong Manyin was becoming increasingly abnormal. Who knew if she would change her sexual orientation in the future?
Ji Mo was shocked by this. Could this Nangong Manyin really have peculiar tastes and be eyeing Boniu?
If that were the case, he really couldn't stand by and do nothing. He had to find a way to "straighten her out" to prevent Boniu from being harmed.
"You 'stinky' little brother, I'll help you."
Ji Mo immediately made up his mind to help Nangong Chou.
"Master, no... Brother, from now on, you are my Nangong Chou's real brother. What should we do next?"
"Let's go, I'll take you to buy some women's clothes. Put them on first."
"What?! I'm a pure man. How can I wear women's clothes? Are you kidding me?"
"You don't understand. As the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic. Your sister wears men's clothes, so you wear women's clothes. Show her firsthand, force her to recognize the facts, and awaken her."
"Brother, what you're saying seems to make sense, but I feel like something is off."
"Stinky little brother, just listen to me..."
The two of them, half-pushing and half-persuading, went to buy women's clothes. Boniu pressed her forehead. Let these two idiots mess around. Now that she was carrying a huge sum of money, she should first find a hidden place to restore her original appearance and prevent anyone from coveting it.
Fifty-four million immortal crystals were enough to drive people to do anything crazy.
At the stern of the ship.
Ao Cheng laughed heartily, "These guys, they were so stingy when paying the ship fare, but I didn't expect them to be such hidden big fat sheep, all dripping with wealth. None of these big fish can escape. I'll catch them all soon. And that guy named Ji Mo, he actually understands the writings of Empty Immortal. That's the biggest catch of all."
Then, he called over his confidant to inquire about the progress of the plan.
When he learned that everything was ready, the smile on his face grew even wider.
As long as he pulled off this job, he should have enough capital. Taking advantage of the merfolk tribe's weakened state, perhaps he could replace them and make his own tribe the overlord of the North Arctic Ocean.
It turned out that Ao Cheng's true identity was not simple; he was from the Flood Dragon tribe deep in the North Arctic Ocean.
In the past, he had disguised himself as a captain simply to facilitate transactions with various land-based forces, allowing the Flood Dragon tribe to profit and accumulate capital.
And this time, he planned to do a risk-free business, a confidence trick, and take down this entire ship.
After this big score, he would have the confidence to overpower the merfolk, and perhaps even rise to power, making the Flood Dragon tribe the sole ruler of the entire North Arctic Ocean.
"I think the North Arctic Ocean should have a true Sea Emperor."
Ao Cheng roared with laughter, full of infinite anticipation for the future.
No one noticed that the ship had secretly changed its intended course and sailed towards a special sea area.
After changing into women's clothes, Nangong Chou instantly transformed into a beautiful and amorous woman.
It had to be said that the Nangong family's genes were truly excellent. Regardless of appearance or figure, Nangong Chou in disguise was enough to outshine ninety percent of women outside.
Ji Mo couldn't help but think of Xuanyang. Indeed, sometimes when men became beautiful, women had no chance.
Under Ji Mo's encouragement, the hesitant Nangong Chou, covering his face, shyly went back to find his sister.
Along the way, whistles sounded continuously. Many lecherous men stared at Nangong Chou with green eyes, their lust burning fiercely.
Half a day later, Nangong Chou rushed back to find Ji Mo in a panic.
However, he was now completely transformed. He was still wearing women's clothes, but his face had clearly been meticulously made up. He had applied eyebrow pencil, powder, and lipstick, and even changed his hairstyle to be more exquisite and beautiful.
Boniu beside him was stunned. She thought that perhaps she should learn to dress up in the future, lest she be outshined by a man.
"Brother, heavens! My sister is really not right. She's not angry at all that I'm wearing women's clothes. Instead, she's incredibly excited and even dressed me up like this herself."
Nangong Chou wailed, realizing that magic ultimately failed to defeat magic. His sister wasn't playing by the rules.
Then, he noticed Boniu, who had already restored her appearance, standing beside Ji Mo, her face full of shock. "My goodness, Brother, your pick-up skills are truly unmatched. You picked up a wealthy female sea demon in the morning, and in the afternoon, you've hooked up with such a beautiful young lady. You're too amazing! You must step in and straighten my sister out, I beg you!"
Boniu heard this and burst into laughter.
Ji Mo found it difficult to explain. He didn't understand pick-up techniques, and a misunderstanding had occurred.
He could only say, "It seems your sister is not beyond saving. She's quite interested in women's attire. If you change outfits more often, it will surely awaken her appreciation for beauty."
Nangong Chou's eyes lit up. "That makes sense. Then I must choose carefully. We saw that pink outfit before, it seemed pretty good."
