Yin Suye softly called out when he looked at the drowsy little guy in his arms.
âFinally!â
The moment he heard that they have arrived, Shui Ruoshan immediately woke up from his drowsy state. He opened his eyes widely to look at this place where he placed a high importance in the later stages of his novel.
The clear lake water, large blooming lotuses swayed along the wind; there would be small animals and birds occasionally resting near the lake or stopping for a drink. So quiet and beautiful. Light fog permeated the s.p.a.ce around the lake, making the originally beautiful scenery even more dreamlike; like fairyland on earth.
Shui Ruoshan would never admit that the reason he wrote the scenery to be so breathtaking was because he wanted to make the place as a holy dating location for the protagonist and the heroines. At the same time, he also set up various convenient conditions. For example, level of danger.
Unfortunately, the protagonist has yet to come to this Bewitching Misfortune Lake at the moment so he wonât know anything about how beautiful the scenery was. On top of that, it would be even more impossible for him to bring a beauty for a date here. Instead, this transmigrated him and the villain Yin Suye arrived here first. Thinking about it, how come he felt like something weird is going on ah?
âEn.â
Yin Suye stood outside the perimeter of the lake while hugging Shui Ruoshan. He didnât enter right away but started to detect for possible dangers first.
Seeing that Yin Suye has stopped walking, Shui Ruoshan started to think back of the novelâs plot regarding the Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotus. As far as he could remember, when he first drafted the story he placed the lotus at the most protected and central location in order to highlight the lotusâs n.o.ble status as the king of the other Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotuses.
Actually, the real reason was Shui Ruoshan is too lazy and donât want to waste much brain cells for a mere lotus flower. Thatâs why he made it so simple. Using simpler words to describe this, all the other Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotuses except the King wilted due to âthis reason, that reasonâ 1 . In the end, only the lotus king which was situated at the best position survived until now.
[Banana : In case someone get confused, apparently there are a lot of the Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotuses mingled with the normal lotuses in the lake. Due to lazy-to-describe reason, all the Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotuses died except the lotus king.]
âThat little flower right in the center is the Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotus.â
Shui Ruoshan pointed the direction for Yin Suye. After he got his feet firmly planted on the ground, he slowly smoothened a non-existing wrinkle from his clothing; displaying a cool and strong aura. Slightly lifting his hand up, he slowly pointed to the direction of the lotus using the tone of a professional quack. He constantly reminded himself in his heart, that he would definitely showcase his aura; the more n.o.ble and awesome it is, the better he felt.This is to redeem himself back from the shame of almost falling asleep in the manâs arms.
He is very convinced that this body he transmigrated into is too spoiled, that must be the reason why he still felt exhausted even though he didnât partic.i.p.ate in walking at all.
Humph!
Such a shameful thing would absolutely has no relationship whatsoever with himself!
âGot it.â
Facing this prideful little look from Shui Ruoshan, Yin Suye didnât show any expression on his face but inside he was feeling a gushing adoration in his heart. He canât help but reached out and rubbed the little guyâs head. Originally he wanted to touch behind his(SRS) neck but considering that the little guy was ticklish, he could only settle for second best thing.
âDo not treat me like a child!â
Shui Ruoshan pouted with his eyes opened widely, then reached out and slapped away that big hand making trouble on his head. Yin Suye is getting more and more intolerable. Not only he(YSY) treated him like a child, his actions were also handling him like a child. This is definitely A.Personal.Attack! He must let Yin Suye understand it clearly what a mistake it is to see him as a child! A moment later, Shui Ruoshan felt that his little universe has completely combusted.
âEn, you are not a child!â Yin Suye curved the corner of his lips. Looks like Shui Ruoshan didnât notice that he is throwing tantrums like what a child would do.
ââŠâ
The other party obviously went along with his(SRS) words and agreed, but what did it clearly felt like a tone of someone feeling helpless from indulging a child? And so, the raging demeanor he mustered up earlier has been forcely extinguished. There is no way to communicate at all with this Yin Suye who stubbornly stuck with his own opinions ah!
âHumph!â
Shui Ruoshan arrogantly turned away his head. He absolutely donât want to be petty with âsomeoneâ, he should concentrate on serious business.
âQuickly go and pluck the Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotus. Remember to pluck the whole stalk, including the roots.â
âEn.â
Although Yin Suye felt that Shui Ruoshan is very cute when throwing small tantrums, he also knew that the current most important thing is to pluck the Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotus. His feet strongly pushed off from the ground and his whole body shot towards the lotus in the lake like a sharp arrow from a bow. His goal, the Nine-turn Petal Jade LotusâŠ
Yin Suye placed the entire stalk of Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotus into Shui Ruoshanâs hand.
ââŠâ
Shui Ruoshan pa.s.sively received the lotus. Should he be grateful that Yin Suye didnât kneel down and handed the lotus to him with both hands just now 1 ? Otherwise he would definitely have a very strange mental a.s.sociation.
Sometimes when one has a hole too big in the brain, one just couldnât control(being stupid) it ah!
âIs there a problem with this lotus flower?â
Yin Suye asked with some uncertainties when he saw that shui Ruoshan has been staring intently at the flower without saying or doing anything.
âNo problem, this is Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotus.â
Shui Ruoshan has carefully inspected the lotus up and down, left and right several times and finally confirmed that the legendary Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotus has no difference at all with any other normal lotus. But with just a glance, without any basis or any judgement, he could automatically know that the lotus in his hand is Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotus. Could it be this is the golden finger of the author? As long as it is something created by him, he could recognise it?
âI was just surprised that we managed to get the lotus so easily in our hands.â
This time, Shui Ruoshan honestly acknowledged the real reason why he dazed off just now.
Because Yin Suye simply plucked the lotus off just like that, without any difficulties at all ah!
At that time, he only saw Yin Suye quickly stood up, flew over to hover over the lotuses, set his target then reached out and plucked the whole thing out. Just like this, the lotus is obtained. After that, he turned around with one step on the lake water and flew back to his side; putting the lotus directly into his(SRS) hands.
This whole series of actions were completed by Yin Suye in a flash of time. It was incredibly fast! And was incredibly cool as well! Shui Ruoshan still felt kind of unreal even though he personally witnessed the whole process and he had the lotus in his hands.
Probably because he has written too many novels and unconsciously gotten some occupational diseases. He felt like some twist and turns should happen during events like this (getting important treasures) to be considered a normal occurrence. Furthermore, Shui Ruoshanâs favorite thing to do when he wrote his novels was creating troubles for protagonists, then wrote on how they solve the problems; a constant cycle.
So, Shui Ruoshan was very unaccustomed towards their progress moving smoothly in obtaining the lotus. He keep getting a feeling that this development doesnât really adhere to the standard plotline of a novel. According to a general novelâs plot, shouldnât it be a situation where a powerful guardian beast appearing from the water just when Yin Suye is prepared to pluck the lotus? Then after this one man and one beast battled for like 300 rounds, Yin Suye eventually succeed in getting the lotus?
Wrong!
Before the Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotus matures, it is just like any ordinary lotus. So there wonât be any beast who could recognise the existence of the lotus and stand guard at the lake.
Hence, this plot that doesnât meet the novelâs setting â sc.r.a.pped!
Actually, the story could progress in another way too. Like the moment Yin Suye has just gotten the lotus, a few adventurers suddenly appeared. Then when they saw the lotus in Yin Suyeâs hand, they immediately get ready to kill for the loot. After that, Yin Suye had a little power outburst, defeated the group of people and managed to safeguard the lotus in the end.
No!
First, letâs not mention that hardly any adventurers would ever come to the Bewitching Misfortune Lake. Even if some did come over, no one would get any thoughts to murder and looting with just a look at a normal-looking lotus. At that moment, Shui Ruoshan felt like crying a river. How come Nine-turn Petal Jade Lotusâs growth is so low-key? Something, just something please happen!
Come and prove that this authorâs law of fiction is also applicable in parallel world!
No.
To be exact, he should say âso that he could still play a role in this world inside his novel!â
âThisâŠâ
Whatâs there to be amazed? 2
Yin Suye hasnât gotten a chance to ask questions when he noticed a white figure shooting out from the bushes, quickly attacking towards the direction of Shui RuoshanâŠ.
