Tang Dou flailed his arms in panic, trying to steady himself.
But it was all in vain.
It only made his movements appear even more clumsy, and his trousers slipped down to the ground again amidst his struggle.
In an instant—
Tang Dou was consumed by shame.
His cheeks burned as if caught in a fire, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Enduring the torment in his heart, he hastily pulled up his trousers.
Like a startled little beast!
He ran desperately toward his Cave Abode!
Behind him, Yue Jinxuan clutched her lower belly, laughing like a howling marmot.
Tang Dou zoomed along like a gale-force wind!
After fleeing back to his Cave Abode, he hurriedly shut the stone door, pressed his back against the stone wall, and gasped heavily.
He took a quick bath in the Cave Abode and changed into clean clothes, yet still could not calm down.
The scene from just now replayed constantly in his mind, and the shame lingered like a Mengyan.
Just then—
Xiaoxiao floated out from the magic treasure.
It scanned Tang Dou up and down, its eyes suddenly lighting up as it chuckled mischievously.
It had thought of a terribly amusing idea!
"Look at you, Tang Dou. You've become so handsome now, shouldn't you go out and show off?"
"Let others envy you as well?"
Hearing this, Tang Dou instinctively walked over to the bronze mirror in the corner of the Cave Abode.
The person in the mirror.
With a tall, slender, and upright figure, and a heroic bearing, he looked completely different from his previous fat and bloated self.
The corners of his mouth curved into a confident smirk.
"You're right, I really should go out for a walk."
With that, Tang Dou strode boldly out of the Cave Abode's entrance.
Xiaoxiao deliberately lagged a step behind.
Hiding behind Tang Dou, it rapidly gestured with both hands.
Following its movements, Tang Dou's hair began to dance in the air, intertwining and wrapping into the shape of a turtle.
That turtle's neck...
Was stretched out unusually long!
The turtle's head was plump and round, exuding an endearing and naive aura.
Immediately after, it adjusted the posture of the turtle's head.
Making it grin, raised high, with its neck forming a ninety-degree angle to its body.
Both comical and cute!
Xiaoxiao was not satisfied with just that.
Its hands continued to dance, shaping the turtle into a crawling posture with all four legs splayed out, the feet so lively...
As if they were ready to glide across the ground at any moment!
After setting the shape, it carefully colored the turtle, giving its shell, limbs, and head.
A lifelike texture.
Finally—
Xiaoxiao blew a breath and waved its little hand, and a faint layer of golden light covered the turtle.
Making it even more dazzling and eye-catching!
After finishing all this, Xiaoxiao finally could not hold back its laughter anymore, flashing aside into a spot where Tang Dou couldn't see it.
There, it laughed so hard it doubled over!
Tang Dou was completely immersed in self-admiration, utterly oblivious to Xiaoxiao's prank.
He puffed out his chest, his stride carrying a strange sense of confidence and heroism.
Like a triumphant hero returning in victory!
He headed toward the area where the sect's disciples gathered the most.
Every step he took looked so exaggerated.
As if stepping on the clouds, swaying with an inexplicable sense of comedy.
The turtle head on his head swayed wildly in the air...
Along with the ups and downs of his steps!
Xiaoxiao in the air tried hard to hold back its laughter.
Seeing Tang Dou's serious expression, it hurriedly covered its mouth.
And slapped its thighs in a frenzy!
But when Tang Dou stepped into the crowd, Xiaoxiao immediately flew back to the top of his head.
It first raised its left index finger, placing it against its lips to make a silencing gesture.
Immediately following—
It raised its right hand high, waving it rapidly as if conducting a silent symphony.
Causing everyone to spontaneously quiet their laughter, turning instead to look at Tang Dou with complex gazes.
At this moment, Tang Dou.
With that swaggering, unyielding gait, marched majestically and spiritedly into Tianshu Hall.
Here, over a hundred disciples were busy with their own tasks, some practicing cultivation, others chatting, presenting an orderly scene.
However—
Tang Dou's arrival was like a pebble tossed into a calm lake.
Instantly shattering the tranquility here.
The crowd began to buzz!
Disciples turned their heads one after another, their gazes locking squarely onto him.
Some even couldn't help patting the shoulders of their companions beside them, covertly signaling them to look at...
This "eccentric" Senior Brother.
Suddenly—
A crisp exclamation rang out from the crowd.
A female disciple couldn't help approaching Tang Dou.
Clenching her pink fists and pressing them tightly against her chest, she said playfully.
"Gosh, this Senior Brother is so handsome!"
Tang Dou proudly lifted his chin and walked past her.
Truth be told...
The girl looked rather ordinary, not his type!
Immediately after, another person chimed in while holding back laughter.
"Yeah, he's so stylish!"
Hearing this, the surrounding people found it even harder to contain themselves, casting strange glances their way.
Some disciples couldn't help laughing out loud.
Only to quickly cover their mouths afterward, afraid of disturbing this "handsome" Senior Brother.
Tang Dou, however, paid no attention to the reactions of those around him.
He maintained that spirited posture, as if the entire world were cheering for him.
He felt immensely pleased with himself!
Beauties, scream your hearts out!
Your truly is a walking screaming chicken, uh...
The ones screaming are others!
Sporting the turtle hairstyle meticulously "designed" by Xiaoxiao, Tang Dou turned and strode toward Yun Mengli's Cave Abode.
As he walked, he gently brushed the hair in front of his forehead with his hand.
Imagining his handsome and dashing look after losing weight, the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling upward.
Exuding pure swagger!
He pondered inwardly: "When Jinxuan sees me now, she's definitely going to be shocked!"
Thinking of this, his pace quickened a bit more.
Ahead, a woman in plain clothes rested her hands on the railing, admiring the scenery below the mountain.
Tang Dou couldn't help stepping closer.
Not gonna lie, as one of the three giants of the Eastern Region, the Yunxuan Sect's mountain scenery was truly magnificent.
Tang Dou turned to look at the woman and smiled to strike up a conversation.
"Miss, enjoying the scenery?"
The woman in plain clothes was slightly startled, lifting her eyes to look at him.
Oh boy...
Why was this guy's hairstyle so comical?!
The woman gently covered her red lips with her delicate hand, holding back a laugh as she replied.
"Um, Senior Brother, what are you up to?"
"Hehe, Junior Sister, meeting is fate, how about we get to know each other?"
The woman knitted her brows tightly, feeling that this guy was eyeing her body.
Yet she had no proof!
"Puh! Who has fate with you? You look like a bad guy at first glance!"
Tang Dou was stunned!
Wait, has my charm dropped?!
Just getting to know each other...
How does that make me a bad guy?
Reluctant to give up, Tang Dou smiled wickedly and said.
"Miss, that's where you don't understand. A man has to be a little bad!"
"Finding someone devoid of emotion makes life dull and tasteless, where even *that* is just done directly—how boring!"
"Am I right?"
As he spoke, he took a step forward, getting even closer to the woman.
The woman's eyelids twitched. Just listen to what kind of talk was this?
This fellow was undoubtedly eyeing her body!
She panicked and stepped backward, her delicate hands tightly clutching her ample chest, her face full of vigilance.
"Stinking pervert! Hmph! If you don't walk away right now, I'm going to scream harassment!"
"Ah-ah!"
"Harassment!"
