Chapter 154 Isn't it just Chen Jia!?

A day's plan starts in the morning. At the peak of Twin Pearl Mountain, Jiang Lin was eating breakfast while reading the newspaper in his hand.

His breakfast consisted of bread with fried eggs, the bread spread with honey and ketchup.

The bread was made by Jiang Lin himself, as he occasionally liked to eat it to reminisce about the days when he used to go to school with bread in his mouth.

The ketchup was harvested from that Golden Core realm fox auntie who "consistently wanted to be someone's mistress and lived without ever needing to work hard."

As for the honey, it had been plundered by his master...

Although he felt deeply sorry for the black bear monster on the neighboring peak, he had to admit that those black bears next door were absolute professionals at beekeeping. Their apiary skills ranked at least in the top three, if not the top ten, of the Wutong Continent, and this honey was truly sweet and fragrant.

As for the newspaper in his hand, it was naturally to keep up with the times.

Ever since he returned that day, Jiang Lin had intercepted the newspaper before that crow could drop it, and the news about him on it was simply outrageous and fabricated out of thin air!

Jiang Lin even felt that he needed to make a trip to Xuanwu City to see Sister Luo Qingshang.

That's right, the very City Lord of Xuanwu City who had been offline for nearly a hundred chapters.

Otherwise, Jiang Lin felt that if things went on like this, he would make it into the top ten of the Wutong Continent's Underworld Most Wanted list...

In fact, ever since the Labyrinth Secret Realm, Jiang Lin's reputation as a flower-picking bandit had forcefully squeezed him from a previously unknown minor villain straight into the 666th place on the villain ranking list.

After the incident in Donglin City, Jiang Lin had surged from the original 666th place all the way into the top 250, with a lingering upward trend.

Of course, this massive surge in ranking was inseparable from the trending headline: [Sun-Moon Sect Flower-Picking Bandit Jiang Lin Battles Old Lover Eight-Tailed Black Fox for a Full Night in Donglin City, Destroying Countless Streets].

Originally, Jiang Lin had subscribed to three newspapers: one official Wutong Continent Daily, and two gossip tabloids. But now, Jiang Lin had no choice but to cancel the two gossip tabloids.

Actually, Jiang Lin felt that gossip tabloids were more useful, containing all sorts of love-hate entanglements between sects.

Like whose senior sister had been stolen.

Or which dynasty's princess had fallen in love with an eel demon, all of which were extremely useful intelligence.

However, fearing that his master might see news about himself, he had no choice but to abandon them.

Yet, when the heck did this Wutong Continent Daily become so unserious as well?

What on earth was this headline: [Sun-Moon Sect's Jiang Lin Enlightens Himself Through Flower-Picking, Sparing Not Even Fox Demons]?

And why was there an illustration of himself and Fatty going to the Spring Breeze Pavilion together?

Even more bizarre! Who on earth drew that handsome scene of him riding on his senior brother's back, playing "Chicken and Slash"?

Next to the picture was a caption reading: [The Flower-Picking Bandit and His Night with the Turkey]!

Jiang Lin was utterly shocked.

Jiang Lin even felt that in less than a month, half of the Wutong Continent would know that not only was he no longer satisfied with human women, but he didn't even spare fox spirits and poultry!

Wait, no! Was senior brother even a bird?

Fortunately, not all the news in the newspaper was bad.

Among them was a report stating: [Lin Qingwan of Dragon Gate Sect is About to Break Through Her Realm and Enter the Second Floor of the Nascent Soul Realm].

Under the age of twenty, and in less than a year, jumping directly past the Golden Core realm to enter the Nascent Soul realm, and in less than half a year after that, she would enter the second floor of the Nascent Soul realm.

His senior sister's breakthrough speed could be described as riding a rocket.

It was unclear about the other eight continents of the Vastness World, but barring any accidents, on the Wutong Continent, his senior sister was definitely the youngest person in the second floor of the Nascent Soul realm!

Of course, the immediate aftermath triggered by his senior sister's rapid realm breakthroughs was the web of interests and maneuvering among major sects.

In a few years, his senior sister would definitely be able to enter the Jade Pure realm. The Jade Pure realm was not something dime-a-dozen, and Mo Xiaoye had only managed to enter a pseudo-Jade Pure realm by utilizing the Blood Name Formation.

The newspaper already featured many sects expressing immense goodwill toward Dragon Gate Sect's senior sister, hoping that she could become cultivation partners with their chief legacy disciples.

It wasn't just sects from the Wutong Continent; from the neighboring Sword-Wielding Continent, the Dragon-Singing Continent beyond that, and even the Frigid Continent—except for the Bodhi Continent, where ninety percent of the cultivators were monks—virtually every place had sent people to propose marriage.

Moreover, the newspaper reported that their betrothal gifts were extremely lavish. The Sword Sect of the Sword-Wielding Continent had even directly carried over an Immortal-grade weapon—Rain Clearing.

In any case, the Dragon Gate Sect was extremely lively right now.

However, seeing this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.

Holy crap, was senior sister actually going to get married?

What should he do if senior sister got married?

Jiang Lin thought about it again.

Damn it!

Jiang Lin took a fierce bite out of his bread.

Whoever dares to fight me for senior sister, I'll pierce them to death!

Aside from the news about the Dragon Gate Sect, which occupied a full quarter of the page (Jiang Lin's report took up a dedicated column), the rest consisted of some ordinary news.

For instance:
The century-once-in-a-generation martial arts genius of the Gan-Earth Fist Sect—Ai Ganshu—announced his participation in the Wutong Continent Sect Tournament.

The junior sister of Falling Blossom Sect, composed entirely of female cultivators and hailed as the dream of male cultivators, fell lovesick and eloped with a cultivator within the sect.

Ye Liangchen, the senior brother of the Non-Bead Willow Sect, entered the Dragon Gate realm, having cultivated the sect's ultimate technique, "Ghost Fire Resonating," to the seventh floor.

The sect master of All-Hao Sect, Zhao Haoritian, poked through a mountain with a single finger, swearing to take a top-ten spot in the sect tournament.

Of course, both the All-Hao Sect and the Non-Bead Willow Sect belonged to medium-sized sects of moderate scale. Aside from old acquaintances like Jiang Lin, practically no one would pay them much attention.

The most important thing was still the news regarding the top sects of the Wutong Continent:

For example:
Lin Ying, the senior brother of the Hu-Jia Sect, awakened a shield that had been dormant within the sect for a hundred years.

Huh? A shield? Is this the rhythm of a Shield Hero?

And a lancer named Zhao Xin from the Cold Light Sect finally concentrated his focus, achieving the feat where a single flash of plum blossom arrived first, followed by his spear shooting out like a dragon.

Yet why did this name feel so familiar?

Next up was a female monkey from the Water Curtain Cave Sect who successfully attained human form and obtained a staff capable of growing and shrinking at will. This staff was said to have been left behind by the Victorious Fighting Buddha, who had already entered the Buddhist gate.

Wait a minute... there seemed to be too many tropes. No, even more bizarre! Why did this female monkey demon look somewhat familiar? Did he feed her bananas before?

In short, due to the approaching grand tournament of the Wutong Continent's sects, whether small sects or major ones, all of them attached immense importance to it.

After all, the sect tournament was no trivial matter; it concerned face and prestige, and had a tremendous impact on future sect recruitment.

And these people were all quietly noted down by Jiang Lin, especially those sects that had proposed marriage to his senior sister—every single one of them was recorded in Jiang Lin's little black book.

Dare to marry my senior sister, and I'll bash both of your heads in!

Most of the news from the Wutong Continent was like this, and the Wutong Continent Daily would also report news from other continents.

However, they were too far away from him, and he didn't pay them much attention.

But when Jiang Lin saw the headline [A Delicate Young Man Confronts and Pierces the Golden Body Arhat Formation of Golden Bell Temple], Jiang Lin froze for a moment.

That "delicate young man" with a pouting little mouth who looked deeply disappointed because there wasn't a single opponent worth fighting...

Wasn't that Chen Jia?!
