[Lighthearted + Akina Mountain + Comedy + Transmigration + No System]

From the start, the empress’s younger sister leaves Lin Chen trembling with excitement.

Lin Chen, a man with top-grade Mandarin, transmigrates to the Nine Regions of Shenzhou, where nobody speaks Mandarin.

Lin Chen: “Come on, read after me: ā, á, ǎ, à.”

Lin Xuan’er: “Brother Lin, stop studying. Come on~~~ Practicing Water Saintly Speech together is so much better.”

Linglong: “Lin Chen, why do I have to take off my clothes to learn Fire Mandarin?”

Chen Qian’er: “Don’t, Lin Chen. I may be a Wood Spirit, but I’m Xuan’er’s master. We can’t betray her.”

Jin Yunxue: “Lin Chen, quit stalling. You’re practicing today whether you like it or not!”

Huang Ying’er: “Big Brother Lin, do we really have to take off all our clothes to study Saintly Speech? ...”

Lin Chen: “Sigh, it’s hard being a man.”
