Actually, it’s not strange at all. Behind each of these doors is a shower stall—it's just that this country bumpkin from the Tang Dynasty has never seen such a thing and doesn’t recognize it at all.

So after wandering around, Brian Carter tragically discovered that he had ended up right back where he started. Even worse, the little white tiger had already recovered its strength and was now standing up, eyeing him menacingly.

With no other choice, Brian Carter could only gesture kindly in front of his chest a couple of times.

Linda Bennett already knew this guy was not only sly but also quite shameless. She really didn’t want to fall for his tricks, but when she saw the concern in his eyes, she couldn’t help but glance down at her own chest. The moment she did, her face flushed bright red—aside from being covered in grime, she was completely naked.

But as she lifted her head, just about to look for something to cover herself, she noticed Brian Carter was quietly sneaking away into the distance.

Trying to run?

Furious, Linda Bennett immediately picked up a wooden basin nearby and hurled it hard at Brian Carter’s back.

Brian Carter gave his shoulder a slight shake, dodged the basin, and then ran even farther away. This little white tiger was just too hard to handle—if he kept tangling with her, he might not get to eat tiger meat, but instead be eaten by the tiger! If he didn’t leave now, when would he?

Linda Bennett grabbed a towel from the ground, held it in front of her chest, and took off after him.

No one can be unlucky forever. This time, Brian Carter finally got lucky—when he pushed open a door, he discovered it was the exit to the outside, so he dashed out without hesitation.

Linda Bennett chased him to the door, just a few steps away from catching him. But as soon as she stepped outside, a gust of wind made her feel a chill—only then did she realize she wasn’t wearing any clothes. Her steps instantly halted, and she could only watch as Brian Carter’s figure disappeared. After a while, she stomped her feet and shouted repeatedly.

“Brian Carter!”

“You bastard!”

“I’ll definitely be back!”

“No, I’ll definitely get my revenge!”

“Ha ha!” Outside, Brian Carter burst out laughing when he heard the angry roars coming from the bathroom, muttering to himself, “That felt great!”

But the reason he felt so great wasn’t just because he’d gotten a free look at the white tiger’s body, but because he’d actually come back to life after dying. Of course, being resurrected and then immediately getting to admire a beautiful woman’s naked body, and even having such close contact with her—now that was truly the cherry on top!

As for the angry shouts coming from behind, Brian Carter had no time to care. What he wanted most right now was to find that dog emperor and that wretched Consort Yun, and get his revenge!

So, the first thing he did after escaping was to look around and take in his surroundings. As a top scholar skilled in both the literary and martial arts, he knew well the saying: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!

If he didn’t even know where he was, how could he talk about revenge?

But when he looked up and took in his surroundings, he was completely stunned...

W-what is this place?

Are these even houses?

How can they be built so tall?

And what are those monsters running down the main road, even faster than his own lightness skill at full speed?

At this moment, the combination of Brian Carter’s physical body and the soul of a double top scholar lost all its previous composure and calm, because he suddenly realized he might have arrived in another world—a world he couldn’t recognize or understand at all.

What on earth was going on?

Why did closing his eyes and opening them again turn him into this?

Is this a dream or reality?

Brian Carter rubbed his face hard, trying to clear his head and calm down, so he could sort out his thoughts!

But before he had time to think, four men dressed in flashy clothes and clearly up to no good had already approached him...

Chapter 004: The School Beauty’s Secret

“Brian Carter, stop right there!” Among the four, a man just over twenty strode up to Brian Carter, pointed at his nose, and cursed, “Brian Carter, you useless loser, do you take my words for crap? I told you to stay in there for an hour—not a second more, not a second less. It’s only been fifty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds, and you dare come out already? Are you looking for trouble?”

Brian Carter looked around—there was no one else here, so clearly this guy was talking to him. He took a step back, cupped his hands, and said, “Good sir, may I ask if you are speaking to me? If so, could you please take your ‘damn you’ back first?”

“Oh, you little bastard, still trying to play dumb with me? Looks like you’re asking for a beating!” As he spoke, the man raised his big hand and swung it at Brian Carter’s face.

This guy, who loved to curse with “damn you” every other word, was called Kevin Harris, a local of Haiyuan City. His dad was an official, his mom was an official, and he himself was quite good-looking. If he couldn’t play the male lead on TV, he could at least be a top villain. He was a classic rich and powerful second-generation official, famous at school just like Brian Carter—but the former was known for bullying others, while the latter was famous for being bullied.
