Chapter 15: Writing Love Letters for Dong Yong

In a simple thatched hut, Dong Yong was reading a book while yawning.

On the corner of his desk, there was a book that shouldn’t have been there, a romance storybook carefully prepared by Bai Ze.

At this moment, a yellow ox and a person were quietly watching by the window.

Old Yellow said, “Old Brother, do you think Dong Yong will read it?”

Bai Ze said, “Of course he will.”

Old Yellow said, “I’m a bit unsure. Many young women and married women in this town like Dong Yong, but Dong Yong never gives them a second glance.”

“So, I don’t think he’s a lecherous man.”

Bai Ze said, “Apart from monks of the Buddhist and Daoist sects, there is no one in this world who doesn’t fall in love. Not falling in love doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t like women, perhaps he’s just proud and arrogant, and ordinary women can’t catch his eye.”

“But he will definitely be unable to resist the women in my storybook.”

Old Yellow said, “I hope so.”

After a moment, Dong Yong finally noticed the storybook on the corner of the desk. He said “Strange” and picked up the sudden appearance of the book to flip through it. He immediately blushed and threw the storybook aside.

“Damn it, it’s actually about the private affairs of men and women. How could such a vulgar book appear in my home?”

Dong Yong scoffed at the romance storybook.

But after a moment, he thought again, there is only him in the house, so who would know if he read it?

But this is not something a proper gentleman would do… Dong Yong struggled for a moment, but still picked up the romance storybook with the excuse of ‘critically examining’ it.

This ‘critical examination’ lasted for several hours.

“Hehehe.”

Dong Yong looked at the romance storybook and giggled foolishly.

“Hehehe.” Bai Ze also giggled foolishly outside the window, “How is it, Old Yellow? I told you that no one in this world can refuse my storybook.”

Old Yellow sighed, “I really didn’t expect this. Dong Yong, who usually looks like a gentleman, would actually be unable to resist such temptation. Why is that?”

Bai Ze said, “The essence of love is the biological instinct to continue one’s genes. People can control their behavior of continuing their genes with a specific individual, but they cannot go against the instinct to continue their genes.”

“So, if they are not cultivators with a firm Dao heart, ordinary mortals cannot escape the temptation of lust.”

Old Yellow said, “But he has only read a romance storybook now. There seems to be a long way to go before he actually takes action. How can you be sure that it will succeed?”

Bai Ze patted Old Yellow, signaling that it could leave, “Don’t worry, when a fire starts in the mountains, even if only a few blades of grass are ignited, it will soon burn the entire mountain.”

“Now that he is already addicted to the storybook, it’s like a breach has been opened in the dam. This breach will only get bigger and bigger. In the end, Dong Yong will become someone that he doesn’t even recognize.”

Bai Ze and Old Yellow Ox left Dong Yong’s house together, and behind them, there were two figures acting suspiciously.

Old Yellow said, “It should be the Earth God of Dong Family Town who sent them. I’ll chase them away.”

Bai Ze stopped Old Yellow, “Forget it, as long as they don’t interfere with us, let them monitor us. This Dong Family Town is located deep in the White Tiger Ridge mountain range. That Earth God is also a sensible person.”

“If he were a reckless person, he probably would have died countless times.”

The Heavenly Realm, the Mortal Realm, and the Underworld are all under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. The human towns in the Mortal Realm are naturally included.

Although the mountains and forests where mountain spirits and wild monsters appear are also within the scope of the Mortal Realm, they are, after all, located in remote areas, and the Heavenly Court cannot reach them.

So, this has formed a tacit understanding.

The Heavenly Court and the Underworld mostly do not directly enter the mountains and forests to eliminate monsters, but they cannot tolerate monsters slaughtering cities on a large scale. Therefore, both sides adhere to this conventional rule.

This Dong Family Town naturally has an Underworld presence. With the appearance of a demon prince’s offspring, the local Earth God will naturally send people to monitor.

But Bai Ze doesn’t think they will attack him. Earth Gods often deal with demon kings. If they were so reckless, they would have died countless times. They generally don’t actively look for trouble with demon kings.

These Earth Gods also know that just because the demon kings don’t slaughter cities, it doesn’t mean they don’t have the ability to do so.

If they really came to slaughter a city, even if the Heavenly Court and the Underworld would come to encircle and suppress them afterward, what would be the use? By then, they and their city would be gone. No Earth God would be so foolish.

Old Yellow turned its head and glared at the two ghost messengers who were following them, scaring them into trembling.

“Forget it, Old Yellow, they are just following orders. If you want to glare, go to the Earth God Temple. There’s no need to get angry with them.”

Bai Ze grabbed Old Yellow’s mane, climbed onto its back, and patted its spine to signal it could leave.

“Hmph!”

Old Yellow snorted coldly, withdrew its gaze, and carried Bai Ze towards the outskirts of the town.

Old Yellow said, “What’s next?”

Bai Ze said, “Naturally, it’s to create opportunities for Dong Yong, so that he will fall further. You must use the Image Recording Bead to record everything.”

Old Yellow said, “How do we create opportunities?”

◈◈◈

Bai Ze chuckled and said, “Didn’t you say before that there are many young women and married women in this Dong Family Town who like Dong Yong? That makes it even easier.”

At this time, the two had already arrived outside the town. Bai Ze called Hong Ling Luo and Black Spinning Top, and took some paper and pens from them.

Old Yellow said, “Old Brother, what are you doing?”

Bai Ze sat down by the shore, preparing to write, “Naturally, I’m helping Dong Yong write love letters to the women in town. I’m going to write a love letter in his name to all the young women and married women in this town.”

Old Yellow was stunned for a moment, and sat cross-legged beside Bai Ze, watching him write love letters, “It would be enough to write a love letter each to Widow Liu in the east of the village, Madam Wang in the west of the village, and Miss Li from the Li family, why do you need to write love letters to all the women in the town?”

“You don’t understand. Sea Kings all do it this way. This is the most effective and efficient method.”

A Sea King, as the name suggests, casts a wide net. When you sweet-talk a girl, she is very likely to refuse.

When you sweet-talk ten girls, maybe one of them will agree.

When you send the edited sweet words to a hundred people at the same time, then it is almost certain that there will be a few who will take the bait.

Even if these tactics are full of loopholes and have no technical content, they will definitely catch a few silly fish girls.

The cost of writing a love poem for a single girl is too high. Writing a love poem and sending it to a hundred girls at the same time is more economical and practical.

The Sea Kings of the previous life all did it this way. Although Bai Ze despised such behavior, it didn’t stop him from borrowing this trick.

“Sea King?”

Old Yellow looked bewildered. It naturally didn’t know that there was such a saucy operation of casting a wide net in love.

Meanwhile, Bai Ze’s draft was already taking shape:

“The most gentle is that lowered head, like a water lily too shy to bear the cool breeze.”

“Clouds think of her clothes, flowers of her face, the spring breeze brushes the railing, the dew is rich.”

“Who holds the colorful silk to dance in the sky, the celestial maidens are infatuated with her rainbow dress.”

Bai Ze had indeed embarked on the path of plagiarizing poems!

Old Yellow on the side was shocked, marveling at how Bai Ze could come up with love poems so easily, each line so brilliant, each poem so exquisite.

Old Yellow is not an ordinary yellow ox, it was once the Golden Ox Star of the Heavenly Realm, and it also has some talent in poetry.

But when Old Yellow saw the love letters written by Bai Ze, it suddenly felt that its own little bit of poetry was not even a fart compared to Bai Ze.

At this time, Old Yellow suddenly noticed something and said, “Your handwriting will be exposed at a glance. The handwriting is different from Dong Yong’s!”

Bai Ze said indifferently, “It’s okay, it’s okay, there are many fools. Don’t think of everyone as so clever. Even if the vast majority of people don’t fall for it, someone will always fall for it.”

Old Yellow said, “But… but there are too many typos in your writing?”

Bai Ze said, “These are not important.”

Old Yellow said, “But your handwriting is too ugly. Dong Yong can’t write such ugly characters. Your handwriting doesn’t match Dong Yong’s jade-like appearance at all.”

Bai Ze said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You may think my handwriting is ugly, but as long as it’s under Dong Yong’s name, the young women and married women in this town will think these characters are extremely beautiful!”

Old Yellow: “……”

It was speechless. Seriously, can you really do this with such unprofessionalism?

But Bai Ze was shouting in his heart: This is completely probability!

Sending out a hundred love letters at the same time, from a probability perspective, there will be three or five silly girls who will reply!

It’s like telecom fraud, making a hundred phone calls, there will always be a few who will fall for it.

Moreover, Scholar Dong is already a good man in the hearts of the women of Dong Family Town, which will greatly increase the probability.

Bai Ze stuffed all the written love letters into Old Yellow’s arms, “The arduous task of delivery is entrusted to you. These past two days, I’ve been appearing in Dong Family Town too often, which has already made the Earth God worried. If I go door to door to deliver letters again, I estimate that the Earth God will be restless, wondering what kind of conspiracy this demon king’s son is hatching.”

“This…” Old Yellow hesitated for a moment. In the current situation, it seemed that only it could deliver the letters. “Okay, I’ll take care of this matter.”

However, thinking about having to enter the boudoirs of the women one by one, Old Yellow looked embarrassed.

“Everything is up to you!” Bai Ze said goodbye to Old Yellow.

Next, his goal was to go to Immortal Valley and subdue the Heavenly Soldier guarding the mausoleum.
