Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality

Chapter 101: Chapter 90: The Prettier the Woman, the More She Lies

Time passed without notice.

In the Hundred Generations Book.

A month went by.

Bai Ruxue had completely settled into life in Huanyu Village.

Bai Ruxue washed clothes and cooked for Xiao Mo, dried fish, and took him out to sea to fish.

Every time they went out, the two of them would return with a full catch.

And whenever Xiao Mo praised her—”Sister Bai, you’re amazing!”—

the young woman’s eyes would curve into crescents. Sometimes, she would even place her hands on her slender waist, lift her chin proudly, and say happily, “Of course I am! Your Sister Bai is the best~”

Bai Ruxue also often gave some of her fish to the villagers.

The people of Huanyu Village were simple and kind-hearted to begin with, so after Bai Ruxue had shared her fish several times, the villagers came to trust her completely.

Some of the older women in Huanyu Village even wanted to set Bai Ruxue up on blind dates.

After all, the girl was truly beautiful.

However, Bai Ruxue politely refused them all, saying she already had someone in her heart.

Sometimes, Bai Ruxue would secretly leave Huanyu Village.

Although Ruxue said she was going out to catch fish by herself, Xiao Mo knew she was actually going to take care of something.

The most direct evidence was that every time Bai Ruxue returned, Xiao Mo could smell the faint scent of medicine on her.

It seemed Ruxue was secretly refining some kind of elixir.

Xiao Mo pretended not to know anything.

Another month passed.

Xiao Mo wanted to go away to study.

The neighboring fishing village was called Longhai Village. Like Huanyu Village, its people were descended from the inhabitants of Qingshan City from three thousand years ago.

The two villages would pool their money to hire a teacher to educate their children.

The reason Xiao Mo wanted to go to school was that he wanted to help Bai Ruxue transform into a True Dragon.

He knew that in this life, Ruxue was already a Demon Emperor in the Immortal Realm. Even if he became the most powerful official in the land, his help would probably be of little use to her.

Not to mention, the current Great Chu Dynasty showed all the signs of a dynasty in its final years, completely beyond saving.

The Mountain and River Fortune of Great Chu was far inferior to that of the Qi Kingdom three thousand years ago.

But Xiao Mo truly couldn’t think of any other way to help Ruxue become a True Dragon.

After all, he was just an ordinary person again in this life.

Fortunately, he still possessed the knowledge from his past life. Even after three thousand years, he still had a foundation to build on.

’If I learn what students are studying now and what the rules of the Great Chu’s imperial examinations are, I should still be able to enter the officialdom,’ he thought.

“Huh? Xiao Mo, you want to go away to study?”

That evening, Bai Ruxue was very surprised to hear that Xiao Mo was planning to go to school in the neighboring village.

“Mhm,” Xiao Mo nodded. “The village chief said I’m old enough now to go to the private school to learn to read and write. Whether or not I have the potential to be a great scholar or a high official in the future, at least when I leave the village, I’ll be able to recognize a few words and won’t get cheated.”

“I see…” Bai Ruxue lowered her head, taking a few small bites of her rice as if lost in thought.

Soon, Bai Ruxue looked up. “Xiao Mo, how about I teach you to read and write?”

“You’ll teach me, Sister Bai?” Xiao Mo was taken aback.

Bai Ruxue’s eyes curved into crescents. “Don’t you underestimate me. I’ve read quite a few books, you know. Besides, if I teach you, you won’t have to run to the next village every day. Isn’t that better?”

“Alright then… I’ll be in your care, Sister Bai.”

A hint of disbelief lingered in Xiao Mo’s eyes.

In his past life, he was the one who had taught Ruxue to read and write.

’Now the roles are reversed. It feels a little… strange,’ he thought.

“Then it’s settled. Starting tomorrow, I’ll go buy some books and start teaching you.”

Hearing Xiao Mo agree, a glint of light flashed in the woman’s peach-blossom eyes, and her excited expression was like that of a little girl.

One could only wonder what expressions the Demon Race of the North Sea Dragon Palace would make if they saw their Majesty acting like a little girl.

The next day, Bai Ruxue did indeed go to town and returned with two large chests of books, all required reading for the imperial examinations.

Xiao Mo looked at the titles.

Many were the same Confucian School classics he had read three thousand years ago, but there were also some books written in the intervening three millennia.

He even saw the *North and South Agricultural Books* and *Qi State Water Control Techniques*, which he himself had written.

“From this day forward, Sister Bai is your teacher,” Bai Ruxue said to Xiao Mo, full of energy. “Quick, let me hear you call me Teacher Bai.”

“Teacher Bai…” Xiao Mo said.

Hearing Xiao Mo call her “Teacher,” Bai Ruxue felt a jolt, as if an electric current had passed through her—a tingly, numbing sensation, but a very pleasant one.

“Say it… say it again for me,” Bai Ruxue said, seemingly addicted to the sound.

“Teacher Bai.”

“Again… one more time…”

“Teacher Bai.”

Watching Ruxue lose herself in the intoxicating sound of “Teacher” again and again, Xiao Mo couldn’t help but smile and shake his head internally.

’How is she a three-thousand-year-old Demon Emperor…?’

’Is she any different from how she was three thousand years ago?’

“But…” Xiao Mo looked at the corners of her lips turning up. ’…this is good, too…’

“Sister Bai, you should teach me now,” Xiao Mo said, tugging at her sleeve.

“You’re supposed to call me Teacher.” The woman gently flicked Xiao Mo between his eyebrows. “You can call me Sister Bai normally, but during our lessons, you must call me Teacher. Got it?”

“Alright, Teacher…”

“Good boy.” Bai Ruxue pulled over a chair and sat beside Xiao Mo, her silver-white hair giving off a faint, fresh fragrance. “Today, your teacher will start by teaching you a few lines of poetry.”

Bai Ruxue’s slender, jade-like fingers wrote the first line of a poem on a sheet of Xuan Paper.

“Come, read it with me.”

Bai Ruxue pointed to the elegant, small characters and read them out one by one.

“Hold your hand, and with you grow old.”

Xiao Mo repeated after her, “Hold your hand, and with you grow old.”

After reciting it, Xiao Mo looked up and, pretending not to know, asked the woman, “Sister Bai, what does that mean?”

“The meaning of this line…”

Bai Ruxue’s eyes darted about as she thought for a moment. Then, she reached out, gently flicked Xiao Mo’s forehead, and said with a smile, “When you grow up, I’ll tell you.”

“Fine,” Xiao Mo said, not minding. He continued with childlike innocence, asking about the next line, “Then, Sister Bai, how do you read this one?”

“This line of poetry, repeat after me—’A fair lady, a Gentleman’s desire.’”

“A fair lady, a Gentleman’s desire,” Xiao Mo repeated. “Sister Bai, what does this line mean?”

“It means that Gentlemen all like beautiful women with good figures who are also gentle and virtuous.”

“…” Xiao Mo froze. ’Is that how I explained this line to Ruxue back then?’

“But Xiao Mo,” Bai Ruxue’s brows furrowed slightly, “you must remember, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to be a liar. You must never believe the words of a pretty girl, okay?”

“What about you, Sister Bai?” Xiao Mo asked.

“Me? I’m the exception, of course.”

Bai Ruxue gently pinched Xiao Mo’s nose.

“No matter how much time passes, or when it may be, I will never lie to my Xiao Mo.

So, you only have to listen to me, okay?~”
