Free Web NovelChapter 544: Chapter 299: Origins of the Heaven-Covering Leaf, Marquis Qing Yue’s Love of Gossip (Part 2)
[The character and hobbies of Prince Beiluo have never changed]
[For hundreds of years, he has been searching for food at night, leaving his mark everywhere]
[As a result, the Nanyu Holy Land is filled with his illegitimate children]
[Some of these illegitimate children are already elderly, while some have just been born; when the old and the young meet, they don’t realize they’re siblings]
Bai Mo smacked his lips, uncertain how to comment.
The first few sentences might be objective descriptions.
The last sentence is likely the artistic embellishment of Marquis Qing Yue in a minor role.
Quanquan Hu and Bai Xingxing, standing to the left and right of their master, also smacked their lips, not knowing what to comment, even though they had no idea what exactly to evaluate.
The Bronze Mask floated nearby, grinning from ear to ear, bobbing up and down with greater pride!
Millions of years ago, it saw firsthand the spectacular expression on its master’s face as he wrote this document, his eyebrows dancing with excitement!
Presumably, there must be a brilliant Immortal Technique in this document!
One can see, even for a talent as dazzling as Bai Mo, while reading this Immortal Technique, he was stunned, furrowing his brows and smacking his lips, with a serious expression, deep in contemplation!
When Bai Mo reads other documents, he never has such a serious expression!
[At the beginning of this year, things have changed significantly]
[Prince Beiluo proposed to the Yaochi Saintess and acquired a Princess Consort through a formal marriage]
[This Princess Consort does only two things]
[The first is to help Prince Beiluo have children]
[The second is to help Prince Beiluo eliminate all illegitimate children]
[She hopes to have her own children inherit the Nanyu Holy Land in the future]
[She wishes no unexpected situations to occur]
[Thus, she uses all means to seek out and eliminate all illegitimate children, the more gifted ones especially must be purged]
Bai Mo frowned, looking at the document, unsure of the truth behind this description.
Yet it felt like Marquis Qing Yue had written it with the flavor of a female-oriented novel.
Previously, when reaching this point, he categorized this document as rubbish.
Now, rereading it for information about the Heaven-Covering Leaf, he reluctantly continued!
Next to him, Quanquan Hu and Bai Xingxing adjusted their expressions to match their master’s resolute face, forcibly continuing, with fox-like eyes focused intently on the document!
The Bronze Mask hovered in mid-air, bobbing and sinking, its smile growing wider!
Seeing Bai Mo’s expression, it was certain the document was written by the Marquis, with Immortal Techniques left by the Marquis adding to the pressure!
[Our most beautiful Marquis Qing Yue of the Pill Palace attended Prince Beiluo’s 500th birthday banquet half a month ago]
[The banquet was grand, with the Flowing Fire Emperor personally attending, envoys from eight nations, Eight Hundred Holy Lands, and Three Thousand Pill Palaces, all sending people, laying out a feast at Nanyu Hall, celebrating day and night]
[At this banquet, Prince Beiluo’s sons each presented gifts publicly]
[All who presented gifts were the biological sons of the Yaochi Saintess]
[But surprisingly, an illegitimate child stormed the banquet, loudly crying, wanting to present a gift for his biological father]
[Until this point, the originally boring banquet finally became interesting!]
Through these words, Bai Mo seemed to see Marquis Qing Yue’s sudden excitement at the banquet, as if seeing the joy in writing this document!
[That illegitimate child displayed terrifying talent, reaching Sequence Six in three hundred years, wanting to present a small tree to his father]
[According to him, the small tree was obtained accidentally during an expedition, observed for a long time without understanding its nature, only sensing it was not a trivial item, wishing to present it to his father]
[The Yaochi Saintess laughed out loud, dismissing this small tree as trash]
[The Saintess’s children followed suit laughing, commenting on this shabby little tree]
[Prince Beiluo’s face was full of embarrassment, stuttering, unable to utter a full sentence]
[Just then, someone exclaimed that this small tree is no ordinary thing, its leaves experience a thousand years of decay and bloom, a hundred turns of reincarnation, eventually capable of covering the heavens with a single leaf]
[Everyone present was left speechless]
[The illegitimate child presenting the tree stood tall and proud]
[Because the person who made this comment was none other than the Flowing Fire Emperor]
At this point, Bai Mo flipped over the stone slab, finding the back empty, with no continuation.
Looking at other stone slabs, all contained the messy gossip written by the [Master Xiaotongwen], completely unrelated to the Heaven-Covering Leaf.
"Ah?"
He tugged at the corner of his mouth.
What the heck is this?
Being tricked into reading a male-targeted feel-good story by Marquis Qing Yue, with a plot that sets up pretentiousness before face-slapping?
It’s of no help in developing the Heaven-Covering Leaf!
Instead, his impression of Marquis Qing Yue changed dramatically.
Extraordinary, Celestial Immortal, chasing enemies for miles, cold Marquis?
Wrong!
Disguised, grinning from ear to ear while writing gossip and feel-good stories?
Correct!
Bai Mo felt somewhat exasperated.
Wouldn’t it be better if Marquis Qing Yue used this gossiping skill to document more information about Thousand Leaves?
Why not document it?
Does she think that there won’t be any interaction between her and Thousand Leaves?
Or does she believe that writing serious documentation is less enjoyable than gossiping?
He glanced at the Heaven-Covering Leaf beside him and thought, "...I still have to rely on myself."
The Bronze Mask danced and spun around, even more smug!
Bai Mo looked at the documentation left by the Marquis, searching for follow-ups, surprised that he hadn’t had enough, surprised that he was still craving more?
What does this indicate?
It means the Marquis’ documentation is top-notch!
Quanquan Hu and Bai Xingxing huddled by Master’s shoulder, but exchanged a glance, frowning.
Foxes are very cunning!
They noticed Master’s expression was off; it wasn’t the expression of someone seeing impressive immortal techniques but rather like witnessing something shocking.
They tilted their heads, grinning and laughing secretly.
...
The autumn wind swept through the West State Fashion Academy campus, twirling yellow fallen leaves.
The vice principal guided with a smile on his face.
"Our school kids are quite cooperative!
"So far, across four grades, over eight thousand students, we’ve completed more than half of the tests."
Bai Mo and Mo Lanyou, along with several Immortal Technique Committee members, followed behind, heading to the "Immortal Survey Test" site.
This survey is gradually underway, starting in West State, beginning with colleges.
On one hand, universities have enthusiastic students with a strong willingness to participate in tests.
On the other hand, college students have more free time and are less afraid of being bothered, making them ideal for preliminary testing.
Committee Member Gu Lin and the vice principal chatted and exchanged pleasantries all the way.
Mo Lanyou sidled up to Bai Mo, holding a document, pointing and gesturing.
"This detector has only been tested internally with us.
"Honestly, I’m a bit unsure inside.
"Once we’re on site, help me keep an eye on things.
"If there’s an issue, we can iterate and handle it promptly..."
Bai Mo nodded.
"I get the logic, but why are you wearing colored contacts?
"And they’re green, such a flashy look!"
Not just Mo Lanyou, Bai Mo saw several Immortal Technique Committee members also wearing colored contacts.
Even Professor Zhang, despite his age, had quite an unusual eye color.
Speaking of this, Mo Lanyou suddenly got excited.
"Hey! What colored contacts? My green pupils are valuable, hahaha!
"I should thank West State Boss..."
Bai Mo understood the story, smirking.
Is there such a thing?
Ancient Immortals are breaking the bank to enhance their disciples’ eyes just to see the Yellow Springs Robe clearly?
He silently noted this logic in his mind, planning to help everyone get some perks if the opportunity arises next time.
As they walked, they saw college students livestreaming by the roadside.
"Alright, Old Ties, don’t chicken out in this PK..."
The livestream content wasn’t the issue; the key was this guy wearing bizarre attire... a stiff, odd coat with a sheer fabric over it.
"What is he doing?"
Fang Xiaoyu came over to explain.
"He’s cosplaying West State Boss.
"Lately this style, coat over sheer fabric, is trending online.
"In fact, many want to wear it, but can’t pull it off effectively!
"There are several top-level influencers online who have managed some great cosplays!"
Bai Mo’s expression became odd, unsure what to say.
They continued walking, passing the student livestreaming, glancing at his screen and seeing lines of bullet comments all criticizing him.
[Take that damn outfit off!]
[Are weird people always up to something?]
[Take a piss and look at yourself.]
[Strongly advise against forced cosplaying, it requires appearance and temperament!]
[Champions, let’s charge at this idiot!]
Bai Mo turned his head, suddenly realizing, does he have those... extreme fans?
