Stuck in a Chinese novel

Wei Jun turned to look at the girl who had just spoken. The men in his group stared wide-eyed at that woman while the women blushed heavily as they saw her but it wasn't because they were embarrassed. They were rather angry at the woman. Why?

Well, her description was somewhat abnormal. Blue skin, from head to toe, instead of hair, what seemed like three tails were situated on her head going down until her knees behind her. She was as tall as Wei Jun and Wei Jun was tall. She had white eyes with blue pupils like a human but her eyes were a lot more like a feline race than a human.

However, what angered the women in the group and made the men blush was the fact that she was bare-chested. She was wearing pants to cover her lower region but her upper region was completely naked. However, even that wasn't an entirely abnormal thing. No, the completely abnormal thing would be her chest, or more specifically, the addition of what was supposed to be on her chest.

Instead of two globes, there were four.

[It's been a long time since I've seen one]

'Ahan,' Wei Jun brushed the system's words and focused on the blue woman before him. He didn't care if there were two of them or four or six. He didn't care. He was more interested in what she had said. Wei Jun was not least bit interested in her appearance or fawning over her like other men, he was simply curious about what she said.

"And you are?" Wei Jun asked. Giving anything away would be dangerous for him. He didn't know if coming from outside the dome held some significance but usually in movies of such settings, outsiders were considered hostiles.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first? You're in my area you know. No matter how royal you humans are, you should at least abide by the territorial laws, don't you?" The blue-skinned woman retorted, pushing the blame on Wei Jun instead. Wei Jun looked at her with impassive eyes before he closed them momentarily and replied, "I see. I was a bit rude so allow me to apologize. I am James. These are my companions."

"That's funny. Why would an Asian have a European name?" The blue-skinned woman asked, her eyes holding intense skepticism.

However, Wei Jun wasn't perturbed in the least. He didn't let anything show on his face while some of the teammates showed hints of panic. Wei Jun looked at her with serious eyes and said, "My mother was Asian. My father held the power."

Two simple sentences. He didn't need to know about the customs of this world. The world remained the same no matter what. Man was always above a woman, feminism, to him, was a joke. In his household, things were different as her mother was in charge but when it came to matters regarding the family, she never said a thing, and all decisions were left up to his father.

In simpler words, he had a certain guess that this society would be patriarchal and he bet on that, forming an answer. And with how serious his expression and calm his heart was, the blue-skinned woman couldn't find a negative point in it.

"Men are scummy as always, aren't they? Well, you're your father's son too so what can I expect from you?" The blue-skinned woman said before she asked, "Anyway, what are you doing here, James? I'll let you know we won't be bullied into paying more taxes. We have already paid this month's worth."

At the words of the blue-skinned woman, Wei Jun could more or less glean the cusp of the issue but guessing alone wasn't enough. He needed concrete information.

"You can be assured we're not here to do something like that. As you can see," Wei Jun turned and pointed to the mages because only they were dressed differently from the rest of them, and said, "We had some peculiar guests and they wanted to explore the city. I'm just showing them around."

A logical explanation and no one among the soldiers had changed in their expression to disagree with the story. Not even the mages themselves. The blue-skinned woman eyed the mages and nodded while shaking her head, "You better not be here to play with someone. If you want to show them around, that's fine, but if I hear you harmed anyone, I will formally complain to the city. Don't think we don't have any power around here."

The words of the woman reminded Wei Jun of 1940s America where racism was at its peak. Still, Wei Jun wasn't a racist and in this case, he wasn't a literal racist. He didn't discriminate over the peculiar build of the races that he could see. He simply glossed it all over because no matter what he said, such defensive people wouldn't believe him. He had witnessed that firsthand. So he simply nodded and said, "Well, we've seen enough so I think we should return now."

"Yeah, that would be for the better." The blue-skinned woman nodded, her expression showing signs of apprehension still but she didn't say anything else. She simply turned around and walked away.

Wei Jun turned to look at the General and said, "There are humans here. We should go and look for them."

The General nodded as well. The sole fact that the concept of Asian and European existed meant this place held some resemblance to the real earth they were from. The General readily agreed and none of the soldiers had any complaints as well. Seeing as how flawlessly Wei Jun handled the issue even when he was encountering the situation first time for them as well showed how fast his thinking and adaption to an unfamiliar situation was.

With everyone agreed, Wei Jun and the rest began to walk towards the center of the city, where the strange temple or the citadel could still be seen, but it wasn't as near as they could see. They walked, walked, and walked. Yet, even after the day turned to night, the citadel was still as far as it was when they began the journey.

"This isn't going to work. We need some transport." The General said.

"I agree." Wei Jun readily agreed but there was another problem that everyone was aware of. Currency. Just because the city held some semblance to the world, didn't mean the currency used would be the same. Wei Jun spotted a building that looked like an inn and turned to a woman in the group, a soldier, not a mage, and said, "Come with me for a bit."

The woman looked at the General but the General simply nodded, instructing her to go with Wei Jun. She followed Wei Jun and while they did, Wei Jun said, "Just follow my lead. And show some emotions on your face."

Wei Jun put her arm around her waist and held her just above her lower waist from the other side. The woman didn't even flinch when he did so. She simply molded her expression to that of a bashful girl and said, "Kyahh~~ Brother~~ You can't do that in public."@@novelbin@@

Wei Jun couldn't help but stop and look at her. Her expression was still that of a young bashful college girl which hurriedly changed to her expressionless one as she asked, "What? I was in the acting agency before I enrolled in the military."

"You're pretty good. Why'd you leave?" Wei Jun asked.

"Because I wouldn't sleep with a certain someone." She said, her expression as stoic as ever but Wei Jun could pick up the hints of sarcasm.

"Let me guess," Wei Jun said as he pointed a finger at himself, "Me?"

"No sh*t." The woman said.

"Haa…" Wei Jun sighed. He shook his head and said, "Well, if you ever change your mind or have a plan B for a career, seek me out."

"So you can sleep with me?" The woman looked at him and asked with her eyebrow corked. Wei Jun knew nothing he said at this point would make a difference but he still replied, "I wouldn't even if the world were to end."

Strangely, there was no sign of a lie in Wei Jun's statement. Still, the woman didn't care. Whether it was true or not, she was a soldier now. If she were to ever step into that industry, she'd think about it. But until then, it wasn't her concern.

"Put the slu*ty mode back on." Wei Jun said.

The woman smiled, raised her hand, and punched Wei Jun in his thigh subtly as she looked at him and said with a charming smile, "Surely you're not calling me, you booboo, that, Darling~~~"

Wei Jun realized his mistake and simply said, "Just go with the flow."

The woman nodded sweetly and soon enough, they arrived before the doors that slid open. As they entered, they saw a woman with red skin and silky smooth black hair sitting behind a counter with a welcoming smile.

"Good evening. How may I be of service today?"
