Chapter 720 - The Extraordinary case of the Empress Source World (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Student Council that Du Hang expected to see was a regular Student Council, not one that constantly trembled under the dark shadow of Lady Zhao. He did not actually find such a Student Council to be bad. In fact, he was not even interested in Student Councils. The only problem was that he had joined it to draw some inspiration. Currently, things were far too bizarre. If it ever took the form of a novel, no reader would believe it!
As writers wrote stories that were close to reality, they achieved a stronger sense of substitution. If it was too outlandish, writers would be criticized for being too green, too lazy to do their research.
Now that Du Hang was in the Student Council, he had also earned Lady Zhao’s protection by default. No matter how much of a creep or a lurker he was, no one would seek him for trouble.
There was also the protective dorm mate He Weiwei. She had never even expected to herself in the Student Council one day. After all, look at her, with that blonde dye and outrageous fashion. Was this how a Student Council looked like?
As Lady Zhao went on a rampage and claimed the top, He Weiwei had also went in tow, as if tethered to her by some supernatural means. She now had the choice of exercising her authority, or simply muddle along for some experience and qualification.
He Weiwei seemed to have been triggered. She now desired more authority. Driven by that uncharacteristic motivation, she had hopped over to the Public Relations Department to get the ball rolling. She was not so foolish as to attempt claiming the top seat, even if it was within her rights. She decided to familiarize herself from the bottom rung before anythi8ng else.
While He Weiwei was pushing herself to complete tasks that were completely beyond her capabilities, then Zhao Youyue’s other roommate Yu Xuefei was already been well-prepared for her role.
She had started off vain, conceited and arrogant. Upon entering university, her “Green Tea Bitch”[1] characteristic went into overdrive. Anyway, she currently had a rich boyfriend who was good at hitting on girls. She had now wrapped him around her finger. At the same time, she had found herself another three to four spare tires. It appeared that there was more to her vanity and arrogance.
On the other hand, there was Zhao Youyue, languishing and lazing about with the ability of a supercentenarian. Even so, she was deceptively astute and quick at reading a person. She did not arrange a high position for Yu Xuefei like how she arranged for Bai Yunshan. Yu Xuefei was capable, but she fell far behind when it came to Zhao Youyue’s standards. She was also nefariously more complicated than the White Knight. If such a person was ever placed high up, she would be a ticking time bomb…
On the other hand, Bai Yunshan was very worthy of Lady Zhao’s trust. The trust could only grow with time. She would even volunteer to be Lady Zhao’s bad cop. If Bai Yunshan ever took her justice too far, Lady Zhao could show up as a benevolent good cop ruler and set things right. By then, everyone would cry out for Lady Zhao’s acute intelligence and excellent judgment.
Everything had fallen within Zhao Youyue’s calculations. Her experience as a long-reigning Empress had truly come in handy. This was the art of leadership. It was just as beautiful as it was despicable and hypocritical.
This was the embodiment of how “the empress was the one with keen intelligence and excellent judgment, while the ones who confused the country were all the treacherous ministers beneath.” In actual fact, be it the empress or the ministers, they had to be responsible for everything. But those thick-faced, black-hearted empresses would always have a scapegoat minister at hand.
Lady Zhao was eternally great, glorious and true. If not, how was she besties with the perfectionist Lady Bai…?
After becoming the student president, Zhao Youyue suddenly found the entire campus dull and boring. Even in this world, a Student President could only do so much. At least, there was sufficient power to pull pranks on who were unpleasing in her eyes at will. Let’s see who else dared pull up the ‘powerful connection’ card. Now, nobody dared provoke Lady Zhao. She was the absolute ruler.
Lady Zhao no longer had anything to look forward to in the campus. Once again, her attention turned towards the “Two Dimensional Gate.” The source world, with its endless wonders and surprises, would never let her down. She was free to do as she pleased, without worrying about how an original author might reject her ideas. Also, she was free to utilize all of her wives and wreak havoc as she pleased.
