Chapter 123 - Characters in the Novel (2/2)
“This is a rough summary of the plot,” Lonemoon finished. He picked up the tea pot and poured himself a cup of tea.
“Oh…” Shen Ying nodded. She studied Lonemoon, who was acting calm. Suddenly, she asked, “What happened… between the female lead and all those other males?”
Pu…
Lonemoon spat out a mouthful of tea before he could swallow it.
His expression changed. Panicking, he answered, “What… what else could happen? It’s just a matter of who likes who.”
“You’re sure?”
“Why should I lie?”
“Then why are you blushing?”
“I’m just… feeling warm!”
“Oh~”
“…” I said it’s not erotica. Keep your stupid suspicions to yourself!
“In any case, you just have to remember that these two people are pathogens – all who interact with them would find themselves in trouble. Yet, in the end, they got their happily ever after. The other people who had spend hundreds of thousands of years cultivating themselves, on the other hand, met their untimely end.” Lonemoon’s expression was strict. “It’s definitely not wise to get involved with the male lead. Invincible Sect could be destroyed because of it.”
“How about Chef?” Shen Ying asked. Lonemoon had finished the entire plot but she did not hear anything about Chef.
“He only appeared in the last pages of the novel. At that time, the gates of the demon realm were opened. The demons were invading the immortal realm. In order to save the male lead’s disciple, he forced the gates of the demon realm close.” Lonemoon furrowed his brow and continued, “That’s why I said that the most miserable character in the novel was…”
“Is it so hard to close the gates?” Shen Ying asked curiously.
“Huh?”
The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. Is that the point? Are you even listening to the plot?
“What is it made of? Is it really heavy?”
“Why do you care how heavy it is?” The point was that Yi Qing definitely cannot take the male lead as his disciple! Otherwise, given how things will play out between the male lead and the female lead, Invincible Sect would not remain standing for long!
“From what I see, Chef is pretty strong right?”
“What has this got to do with how strong he is?”
“Why did it take him so much effort to close the gates? There’s something wrong with the plot.”
“Is that a typical gate? That’s the gates of the demon realm! Do you think anyone could easily open and close them?” Lonemoon glared at her. “Demonic Qi alone is able to corrode an immortal’s body. Anyone who can close the gates must possess very special powers.”
“Is there a lot of demonic Qi on the gates?”
“Of course!”
“Is it also big and tall? Does it look extra heavy?”
“That must be the case, right?”
“Are there the words “Demonic Realm” on the gates?”
“I… suppose?”
“And there are two rings on the gates, in the mouths of two red-eyed baboons?”
“What red-eyed baboons?” This was getting ridiculous. Lonemoon rolled his eyes and asked, “Do you think this is some kind of television drama? Why are you describing it as if it were real? Have you seen it?”
“I have!” Shen Ying nodded.
What?
“…”
Holy shit!
