Chapter 52 Fifty-Two Cuts "Me and One of My Daoist Companions"...
"What kind of plot is this..." Shui Qingnian took the question from Wuji Hall and couldn't help but complain, "How can there be such an outrageous plot? Does being rich and good-looking at the beginning mean you have to be envied and become a supporting character in someone else's story?"
Lu Yaoyao sat to the side, not daring to utter a sound. The questions they received were all special. They didn't need to divide up the tasks because the other question given by Wuji Palace was to uncover the unknown secret of one of them.
Since no one wanted to reveal their secrets, they tacitly avoided discussing how to solve the second question and instead focused on continuing the story.
Shui Qingnian, holding the pen in her hand, waved her hand and said, "If you ask me, write it like this: since the senior sister in the sect has money, she should hire an assassin to kill the junior sister and eliminate any future troubles."
Lu Yaoyao: "..." Luo Mingshu, listen to me, thank you, thank you for not learning from this vicious woman and choosing to kill me in the first place.
Without comparison, there is no harm; at this moment, Lu Yaoyao felt that Luo Mingshu was extremely kind.
She dared not utter a sound, afraid that they would realize she was the junior sister.
Fortunately, Wei Qing spoke up in time: "Fairy Leng, that's not appropriate. If we had killed that junior sister from the beginning, we could have finished writing the plot in just one day. But how would we have written it in the remaining six days?"
Shui Qingnian thought about it and agreed, so she changed her mind: "How about this, we lock up our junior sister and torture her for seven days."
Lu Yaoyao: "..." I beg you, please stop talking.
Wei Qing sighed softly, then turned to Lu Yaoyao and asked, "Oh, fairy, what are your thoughts?"
"I...uh...I just...I don't think we need to be so ruthless towards that junior sister," Lu Yaoyao stammered. "What did the junior sister do wrong this time? It's just...Isn't the senior sister just too unlucky?"
“Junior Sister has a powerful patron, who knows what kind of mischief he might be up to behind her back,” Shui Qingnian retorted.
If we're talking about being malicious, Lu Yaoyao did indeed do something bad, like the time she summoned the elders to watch. But in the end, she ended up losing face herself. She clearly didn't do anything right.
No... if that's the case?
Lu Yaoyao suddenly realized, and she took the beginning of the storybook and said in a serious tone, "It's like this, let's write this plot first, so that our junior sister can suffer a setback."
"It would be better to kill them to eliminate any future troubles," Shui Qingnian insisted on her original idea.
"Junior Sister summoned the elders of the sect, wanting to show her kindness and cuteness in front of them, so as to highlight Senior Sister's arrogance and viciousness. However, Junior Sister's cleverness backfired, and she exposed her sinister intentions in front of the elders, which made the elders sympathize with Senior Sister instead..." Lu Yaoyao recounted what she had encountered before and made such a suggestion.
“That’s great. We can write this story for seven days, and then deal with the junior sister on the last day.” Wei Qing also agreed with Lu Yaoyao’s continuation. “Oh fairy, what you wrote is so realistic. You have the talent to be a storyteller.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao almost choked. This wasn't her own idea; she was merely recounting her own experience.
Now that she had started, she decided to stop pretending and her thoughts flowed freely, captivating even Shui Qingnian with her story.
“We can set it up like this: the junior sister has a ring or something with the primordial spirit of some peerless master buried inside. The junior sister has been able to get by smoothly thanks to this, all thanks to this cheat.” Lu Yaoyao transformed the system into a different setting and told her whole true story.
"This primordial spirit in the ring seems like something out of a storybook," Wei Qing remarked, having read some of those stories herself.
"Oh dear, let's borrow this idea if we can." Lu Yaoyao waved her hand, eager to tell what happened next, "Having such a cheat ability is actually very unfair to other cultivators. Relying on this ring, Junior Sister easily obtained what Senior Sister had pursued for many years but could not get..."
"What kind of crap is this? Are you the junior sister yourself? The main character is the senior sister!" Shui Qingnian couldn't stand it anymore.
“Cold Fairy, let me finish speaking—” Lu Yaoyao was about to cry. She thought of the jade bracelet that had gone far away from her. “But later, by chance, the senior sister took away the ring that had helped the junior sister. As a result, the junior sister had nothing left to help her.”
In reality, Lu Yaoyao added some artistic embellishments here; her broken system only caused her trouble.
"That's how it is. Senior Sister took away Junior Sister's cheating tools, and she can finally become the protagonist of her own story." Lu Yaoyao said, she really couldn't imagine what would happen next, because she herself didn't know what would happen next.
"Fine, then we'll take that ring, drag out the spirit inside, and destroy it, so it can do whatever it wants!" Shui Qingnian said angrily.
"No—" Lu Yaoyao subconsciously rejected this outcome.
"You made up this story yourself, don't you know what?" Shui Qingnian glanced at Lu Yaoyao and said suspiciously, "I know you are similar to the junior sister in the storybook, but don't get too caught up in the role and identify with yourself."
"You—" Lu Yaoyao was furious. She thought she couldn't let anyone be dragged down with her. She wouldn't let anyone here get away with it.
"Give me paper and pen, let me write." As the core creator of this documentary literature, Lu Yaoyao dipped her brush in ink and began writing furiously on the paper.
"How come there's another sect leader's daughter here—she acts recklessly because of her noble status. She bullied the senior sister, and in the end, the senior sister slapped her in the face with money." Shui Qingnian was supervising Lu Yaoyao's writing, and she didn't like this newly appeared supporting character.
“The eldest sister and the junior sister alone can't carry the seven-day storyline. We need to add other characters,” Lu Yaoyao said confidently, moistening her pen tip.
"And what about the senior brother? How could he have confessed to the senior sister and been rejected?" Wei Qing said, stroking his chin. "The senior brother at the beginning of the story was a good person; he shouldn't have been rejected."
“Yes, so I wrote— ‘Senior Sister smiled as she looked at Senior Brother. She rejected his heartfelt confession. She told him, ‘You are a good person, but you are not the one I like.’” Lu Yaoyao read aloud the original text she had written. “Doesn’t that mean Senior Brother is a good person?”
Wei Qing thought Lu Yaoyao wrote it quite well, with no major flaws, but he always felt that the character of the senior brother was a bit strange.
"Should we give Senior Sister a Daoist partner?" Shui Qingnian wasn't as perceptive as Wei Qing and didn't realize that the sect leader's daughter was referring to her. She even enthusiastically assumed the role of Senior Sister and wanted to arrange several handsome Daoist partners for her.
Lu Yaoyao was also cunning. She thought of the very jealous security captain next to Luo Mingshu and decided to trick Luo Mingshu. So she wrote with a flourish and said generously, "Arrange ten Daoist partners for Senior Sister. She can choose from the human, demon, or monster races. Pick the best ones and arrange them all for her."
After determining the writing direction, the first day's serialized content was quickly written. Holding these manuscripts, Wei Qing said to Lu Yaoyao, "Oh fairy, after leaving the Misty Star Sea, you can write storybooks. I think you have quite a talent for it."
Actually, the plots Lu Yaoyao wrote weren't particularly good; they were just the same formulas as other storybooks. But the fact that she wrote documentary literature and the events in the stories were all things she had personally experienced made her writing exceptionally genuine. It was this authenticity that made the storybooks so moving.
"Let's give this storybook a name," Wei Qing began, soliciting opinions.
The title of Lu Yaoyao's novel, "The Untold Story Between Me and My Ten Daoist Partners," is a bombshell. She believes that this title will infuriate the security captain of Wuji Hall.
"Too vulgar, unworthy of your noble writing." Shui Qingnian refused, firmly believing that with her involvement, it should have a beautiful name. "How about 'The Summer When the Wind Blows'?"
Wei Qing and Lu Yaoyao: "..." Does this have anything to do with the content of the storybook?
"Use mine!" After some arguing, Shui Qingnian and Lu Yaoyao said in unison.
Finally, Wei Qing, the master of balance, finalized the title of the story and added his own ideas. The full title of the story is "The Eldest Sister's Counterattack: The Untold Story Between Me and My Ten Daoist Partners in the Summer with a Breeze".
To ensure smooth communication with the tabloid publisher, the story was simply titled "The Eldest Sister's Counterattack," and Dongzhi Wonderland released the first day's installment.
Therefore, when Luo Mingshu was reading the storybook in the Wuji Hall, this was the kind of text she saw.
Because the plot of the first day's serialization was too familiar, as it was based on her own experiences, Luo Mingshu was so angry that she pounded her chest and stamped her feet. She even wanted to rush to Dongzhi Wonderland right now to shake Lu Yaoyao's shoulders and tell her not to cheat like this and to write down her real experiences.
Of course, the first day of the serialized story also created a suspenseful moment, stopping at the point where the senior sister was about to take away the junior sister's ring.
This plot is somewhat innovative, except that the jade bracelet has been replaced with a ring.
Luo Mingshu took pleasure in tormenting the system. She took out the jade bracelet from her spatial pouch and made him carefully read the contents of the storybook.
"Oh dear, you don't even have a real identity in her stories. She wrote about a ring, but she's not even willing to write about you openly and honestly in her stories," Luo Mingshu mocked the jade bracelet.
Because Luo Mingshu exposed his true intentions last time, Yu Zhu had been neglecting his work for a long time. After reading the storybook, he completely broke down: "I... I knew she didn't care about me. She actually wrote me as a ring and described me as a useless piece of trash who only holds me back. She... she would actually do that!"
While Luo Mingshu was persecuting the system, Xie Changming had already finished reading the serialized story. He was basically certain that some parts of the story were true. Of course, he also noticed that in the first day of the serialization, the senior sister had already attracted the attention of several high-quality male cultivators.
And then, he read to the end and discovered that the storybook's title was actually this—
Xie Changming, with his built-in language filtering system, distilled the essentials and only saw the glaring words "ten Daoist partners".
He knew that the senior sister in this story was actually Luo Mingshu herself, and that Dongzhi Wonderland actually wanted to write ten Daoist partners for her. He would not allow such a thing to happen.
What if Luo Mingshu tries to imitate the plot of the storybook? This will corrupt the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm.
Of course, the oblivious Luo Mingshu didn't notice the hidden romantic storylines in the first day of the serialization, and she didn't even realize that she was about to have ten Daoist partners.
Xie Changming closed the tabloid and said to Luo Mingshu, "I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving for a moment."
Luo Mingshu was still repeatedly reading the part where she made Lu Yaoyao suffer, and she forced the jade bracelet to read it with her, so she didn't even look up and let Xie Changming play by himself.
The moment Xie Changming left Wuji Hall, his appearance changed, and he reverted to his first disguise as the Supreme Immortal Lord.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful for his status, for no one in the celestial realm dared to disobey him, the celestial lord.
He visited the newsletter distribution offices of Dongzhi Wonderland and Wuji Temple respectively, and put forward his suggestions for improvement.
"That's right, our Heavenly Realm values loyalty to one's Daoist partner, so a storyline with ten Daoist partners can't be written. It has a bad influence, so it has to be cut. You can ask the Eastern Bran Immortal Realm to revise it again," Xie Changming said.
Xu Qian reacted faster, immediately translating Xie Changming's words into something comprehensible: "It means we can only write 1v1 content, right?"
“Yes.” Xie Changming thought for a moment and continued to offer unreasonable suggestions, “Actually, I think it would be better if Senior Sister ended up with the Demon Clan. A tragic love story between immortals and demons is more popular.”
The rectification suggestions put forward by the Supreme Immortal Lord were transmitted to the Eastern Branch Immortal Realm, which threw Lu Yaoyao and her group, who were holding a banquet in advance to celebrate their second victory, into disarray.
Lu Yaoyao wrote this plot to trick Luo Mingshu, but she didn't expect it to actually bring out the Supreme Immortal Lord.
"How can this old guy be so pedantic? Could it be that what I wrote reminded him of how the security captain of Wuji Hall stole his girlfriend, so he broke down?" Lu Yaoyao's carefully planned plot was completely disrupted.
Wei Qing was the clever one. He suggested, "We can hold off on saying who Senior Sister ends up with. We can just pick anyone to be with her. That way, we can still write what we need to write." (Small. Piano. Organizing.)
The next day, Luo Mingshu lost nine Daoist partners. Because of the widespread attention from the celestial cultivators, the story was tragically renamed "The Eldest Sister's Counterattack: The Summer with the Wind - The Untold Story Between Me and One of My Daoist Partners - But Before That, I Have to Have Nine More Loves".
