Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality

Chapter 129: Chapter 114: It’s for Her to Eat, so Why Be Reluctant?

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

ROAR!

THUD!

A massive sound echoed, and even White Deer Peak trembled.

Shang Qi, who was sipping tea in his courtyard, felt his teacup jolt, nearly spilling its contents all over him.

“Director, that Miss Bai has been causing a ruckus in the north for over a month now… The students are all talking about it. I feel the effect it’s having isn’t very good,” Qi Daoming said helplessly.

For over a month, massive noises had intermittently echoed from a barren mountain north of Bailu Academy.

In addition, one could hear the roars of dragons, one after another.

When the scholars of Bailu Academy looked up, they could sometimes see a White Dragon and a Cyan Dragon circling endlessly in the sky above the mountain’s peak.

The Bailu Academy Director, Shang Qi, had issued a notice forbidding anyone from setting foot near the barren mountain.

But human curiosity is a funny thing; the more you try to hide something, the more curious people become.

To say nothing of the two Flood Dragons circling in the sky, causing a commotion as if they were splitting mountains.

“Sigh…” Shang Qi let out a breath. “I know. But Miss Bai said she needed to do something, and I agreed. She even said she owes me a favor. What could I do?”

Shang Qi took a sip of tea and said in a calm tone, “Let’s just endure it a while longer. Think of it as Bailu Academy helping the Human Race forge a bond with the North Sea. Miss Bai said it would take two or three months at most. A month and a half has already passed, so it should be almost over.”

BOOM!

The moment Shang Qi’s words fell, another massive bang echoed, and the entire mountain peak shook once more.

This time, Shang Qi lost his grip on his cup. It fell to the ground, chipping a small piece off the rim.

The old scholar looked pained by the loss.

…

ROAR!

Atop the mountain north of Bailu Academy, dragon roars rolled out one after another.

The surrounding demonic animals, and even the Fierce Beasts, all trembled in fear.

The suppression from a superior bloodline had made their days extremely uncomfortable.

BOOM!

A giant boulder was blasted to bits by a single puff of the White Dragon’s Breath.

A stream slowly trickled down.

In the beginning, this place had been nothing more than a small pond.

But after more than a month of Bai Ruxue and Xiao Qing carving mountains and diverting water, the once-small pond had transformed into a lake. It was constantly fed by a fresh source, with its water flowing down a newly carved stream.

Most importantly, an Array had been set up around the lake.

This Array could gather the Literary Dao Fortune that naturally dissipated from Bailu Academy.

The Literary Dao Fortune would not dissipate with the outflowing water.

It would continuously gather in the lake, and because of this Literary Fortune, the lake water was slowly turning the color of ink.

“Elder Sister, this should be about enough, right?”

Xiao Qing descended from the clouds, transformed into her human form, and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

“Almost. Go back to the North Sea and bring back a few Spirit-Gathering Profound Stones. The Literary Fortune needs to be locked in with Spiritual Power.”

Looking at the lake before her, Bai Ruxue was quite satisfied.

“Oh, right, go get some Spirit Flowers and Herbs and plant them along the lake’s edge.

You can also bring some freshwater Spirit Fish, shrimp, crabs, and so on.

I’m also planning to build a pavilion in the center of the lake. It’ll definitely be beautiful.

Also, bring the Mountain and Sea Plate here to suppress the lakebed. Then, I’ll drip a few drops of my Essence Blood into it. When Xiao Mo returns, the lake will be able to recognize him as its master.

That way, all the Literary Dao Fortune this lake absorbs can be channeled back to Xiao Mo.”

Xiao Qing bit her lip, her expression complex as she looked at her sister. “Elder Sister, building this lake… the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures we’ve used are truly nothing, I know.

But you’ve already expended so much of your Essence Blood. Your cultivation will likely be delayed, and all for the sake of building this lake.

Elder Sister… is it really necessary?”

Hearing her younger sister’s words, Bai Ruxue turned, reached out, and gently patted Xiao Qing’s head.

“Oh, Xiao Qing. You’ve been handling my affairs for too long, so you’re always carefully calculating costs and benefits.

It’s true this lake requires a great deal of effort, and it might only bring Xiao Mo a tiny bit of benefit.

But, Xiao Qing.

As long as it’s for him, as long as it can benefit him…

…even if it’s just a little bit…

…to me, it is all necessary.

Even if this lake turns out to be completely useless…

…as long as he smiles when he sees it and praises me even once…

…then everything I’ve done is worth it.”

…

After the examination ended, Xiao Mo sat in the courtyard, flipping through a book.

Xiao Mo was now just waiting for his Senior Brother and Senior Sister to finish their examinations so they could all return to Bailu Academy together.

“Junior Brother Xiao.”

As noon approached, a light, pleasant, and familiar voice called out. Xiao Mo looked up to see Senior Sister Shang and Senior Brother Luo walking toward him.

Xiao Mo walked forward. Seeing the tokens hanging from their waists, he smiled, bowed, and offered his congratulations. “Congratulations, Senior Brother, Senior Sister, on passing the examination. From today onward, you are both Mountain Masters and can establish your own peaks.”

“That’s nothing. Your ’Righteous Gentleman’ Jade Token was much more difficult to obtain, Junior Brother,” Shang Jiuli said with a light laugh, covering her mouth. “Back then, your Senior Brother Luo only managed to get ’Gentleman’.”

“And it took you two tries to even get ’Gentleman’,” Luo Yang retorted, choosing to ignore her. He stepped forward and returned the bow to his junior brother. “Congratulations, little Junior Brother. I never expected you to pass the Upper Examination and become a ’Righteous Gentleman’ in one go. You’re the first person in our Confucian Academy to do so in fifty years.”

“It was just good luck,” Xiao Mo said humbly.

“I don’t think it was luck, it was all skill! Junior Brother, your Book Flipping Wind even reached Huaming Peak. You really brought us a lot of prestige,” Shang Jiuli said, pumping her little fist.

Just as Xiao Mo was about to say something more, the cry of a crane echoed from the sky.

“Xiao Mo has passed the ’Gentleman’s Upper Examination’ and is awarded one Literary Fortune Pearl. We hope you will remain humble, avoid arrogance, and dedicate yourself to your studies.”

The white crane spoke in a human voice, then dropped a Literary Fortune Treasure Pearl.

Xiao Mo reached out and caught it.

“Junior Brother Xiao, you can consume that Treasure Pearl. After you do, you’ll be blessed by the fortune of the Literary Dao. It can even lessen your karmic ties when you’re Crossing the Tribulation,” Shang Jiuli said, happy for Xiao Mo. “Hurry and take it, Junior Brother!”

“Is that so.” Xiao Mo put it away. “I won’t take it, then. I’ll give it to Ruxue to try.”

Hearing Xiao Mo’s words, Luo Yang and Shang Jiuli exchanged a glance. Luo Yang looked at Xiao Mo and tried to persuade him, “Junior Brother, only scholars who pass the Upper Examination receive such a reward. It’s truly rare. Are you really willing to give it to her?”

Xiao Mo looked at his senior brother and sister and smiled openly. “When it’s something for her to eat, why would I ever be reluctant?”
