Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Chapter 317: Counting the Competitors

Luo Ying and Lu Guihuang brought Fairy Wen Yao back to the inn headquarters, and Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu hurried forward to greet them.

Seeing Fairy Wen Yaoyu, Shao Hanyue asked curiously, "Is this the helper you brought back?"

Luo Ying nodded and introduced them, "This is the Fairy Wen Yaoyu under the seat of the God of Literature."

Xiao Qingxiu asked curiously: "Can this Fairy Wen Yaoyu help Lord Cangmo pass the imperial examination?"

Fairy Wen Yao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! Every year when the imperial examinations are approaching, my master and I will come down to earth to bless and protect the outstanding candidates so that they can win the first prize and pass the imperial examination."

Xiao Qingxiu asked curiously, "Then the fairy and Wenquxingjun are in charge of different areas?"

Fairy Wen Yao smiled and said, "Yes! My master will select the candidates for the first place. If there is a candidate that my master likes very much, he will directly select him as the top scholar, and I will be responsible for selecting the candidates for the second place."

Shao Hanyue asked Luo Ying excitedly, "Sister, since Wenquxingjun has a connection with Manager Lu, and you have come all the way to ask Wenquxingjun for help, why don't you just ask Wenquxingjun to come forward in person and help select Cangmoshenjun as the top scholar?"

Luo Ying glanced at Lu Guihuang, shook his head, and said helplessly to Shao Hanyue: "The God of Literature was willing to make a personal trip and promised that he could guarantee the top scholar. But he was rejected by some people."

Xiao Qingxiu asked in surprise: "Ah! Why do you want to refuse?"

Shao Hanyue looked at Luo Ying's helpless expression, then looked at Lu Guihuang's embarrassed expression, covered her mouth and laughed secretly, teasing Lu Guihuang, "Why else? It's because you are jealous and afraid of bringing back new competitors, right? Master Lu!"

When Lu Guihuang was asked this question by Shao Hanyue, he felt uncomfortable all over and quickly made an excuse: "I...I...will go back to the mansion first...to deal with something. I won't talk to you for now."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

After hearing Shao Hanyue's words, Fairy Wen Yaoyu was also amused. She looked at Luo Ying meaningfully and said, "This sister is right. I think my master has been aroused by Marshal Luo this time."

When Shao Hanyue heard what Fairy Wen Yaoyu said, she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. She teased Luo Ying and said, "I guess Manager Lu must be regretting helping you this time. He accidentally brought back another love rival."

Luo Ying was so embarrassed that he said aggrievedly: "I didn't do anything! I just helped Wenquxingjun to modify the painting and tune his strings!"

After hearing what Luo Ying said, Fairy Wen Yaoyu smiled even more happily, with her eyes full of appreciation and admiration for Luo Ying: "My master's literary talent is unmatched in the world, and he is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although his paintings and music skills are not as outstanding as his literary talent, they are also among the best in the heavens. He has always been proud of himself, but you actually pointed out his shortcomings directly and helped him to correct them. You hit his soft spot directly. No wonder he fell in love with you at first sight and was so moved."

Luo Ying felt extremely regretful and said in shame: "Look how shameless I am! Not only did I talk about it, I also physically helped him to change it, which made him lose face."

Fairy Wen Yao smiled and said, "Marshal Luo, don't blame yourself. In fact, Master has been waiting for a soul mate who can resonate with his talents. Your appearance undoubtedly makes up for his lonely heart for thousands of years."

Luo Ying heard this and said shyly: "I....it's impossible for me to be with him."

Fairy Wen Yaoyu laughed even more happily. She teased Luo Ying, "My master has never been in contact with other women except me for thousands of years, and has never been attracted to any woman. You can't escape this time. If he gets serious, you can't escape."

Luo Ying was sweating profusely after hearing this, and was too embarrassed to speak. Shao Hanyue couldn't help but burst into laughter, teasing, "Sister, why do you have so many talents? Prince Yu is fascinated by your cooking skills, Chief Steward Lu is fascinated by your business skills, Prince Lan is fascinated by your medical skills, and now this Wenquxingjun is fascinated by your calligraphy, painting and piano skills."

Xiao Qingxiu laughed loudly and came over to interrupt, saying, "More than that! Lord Cangmo was fascinated by Yingshuai's talent for growing flowers and plants, and Emperor Zhenwu was fascinated by Yingshuai's military talent. Yingshuai, you are really an all-round player!"

Shao Hanyue continued to tease, "And more, the Third Prince is fascinated by my sister's cuteness, and Guard Feng is fascinated by my sister's kindness and love..."

Luo Ying's face flushed when they said that. She quickly interrupted their teasing and said in a pretended angry tone, "Are you guys done yet?"

When Fairy Wen Yao heard what they said, she opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "So my master has so many competitors! No wonder Marshal Luo said it's impossible. With so many high-quality male gods, it's really hard to choose!"

Shao Hanyue said proudly, "Not only that? What else can I say? The guy in my sister's tent is the top male god Kunpeng, who is already a god but is willing to turn into a small fish to accompany me all the time. There is also the Third Prince of the Dragon King and the Mermaid Prince of the North Sea!"

Luo Ying looked at Shao Hanyue in surprise and said, "You...how did you know?"

Shao Hanyue smiled smugly and said, "Needless to say, five men can turn the entire Beihai upside down. If not because of fighting for you, what else could it be for?"

Xiao Qingxiu continued to add: "There is one more thing I forgot to mention."

Shao Hanyue looked at Xiao Qingxiu in surprise and asked, "Who else?"

Xiao Qingxiu said mysteriously, "There is also the White Tiger King! Looking at the jealous look on the Third Prince's face, we know that the White Tiger King also has a crush on Ying Shuai!"

Luo Ying said angrily, "Alright, that's enough! You guys are getting more and more outrageous!"

Seeing that she was really angry, Shao Hanyue stuck out her tongue and said aggrievedly, "We are doing this for your own good! List all the rivals in love and let this Wenquxingjun retreat! Otherwise, if he comes again, it will be even more difficult for you to deal with him. Now there are so many candidates for the male god, you already have enough headaches."

Luo Ying calmed down and said to Fairy Wen Yaoyu: "Fairy Wen Yaoyu, please tell your master when you go back that I was rude to him by changing his painting and tuning his zither. Please don't blame me! Then...what...don't take me to heart!"

Fairy Wen Yao smiled and said, "It's really hard for me to help Marshal Luo with this errand. When you send me back, please tell my master in person!"

After hearing her words, Luo Ying didn't know how to respond.

Luo Ying returned to Wang's Wang's Forget-Your-Sorrow Garden. When Wang Shouren saw Luo Ying, he was so excited that he went forward and hugged Luo Ying tightly, saying tremblingly: "It's been three years, and you're finally back! I've been waiting for you to come back every day... The time I've been waiting for you is so long!"

Luo Ying looked up at him and said, "So you must pass the imperial examination this time so that you can start your mission of benefiting all living beings. Only if you complete your mission early can we return to heaven and reunite."

Wang Shouren hugged her tightly and said, "If I pass the imperial examination this time, does that mean you will return to heaven forever?"

Luo Ying comforted him and said, "After I go back, you should concentrate on studying and become a saint as soon as possible to benefit the people of the world. When your merits are fulfilled, you can end your tribulations and return to heaven. Do you want us to be together for a few short decades in the mortal world, or to see each other every moment in heaven?"

Wang Shouren's eyes lit up, and he lifted Luo Ying's face and asked, "You mean that when I return from this calamity, you will return to our Wangyou Palace and accompany me all the time, right?"

Luo Ying nodded to him to calm his heart. Wang Shouren asked excitedly: "So you have decided to marry me when I return to heaven?"

Luo Ying hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said to him, "We'll discuss this carefully after you return to heaven."

Wang Shouren saw that she was still unable to give him a clear answer, so he asked Luo Ying anxiously: "Then...will you follow him after you go back..."

Luo Ying's heart tightened when he asked her this. She understood that this time when she returned, she had to make a clear choice between him and Hua Yuchen. Any further delay would hurt both of them.

Luo Ying exhaled lightly and said, "You have only been in the mortal world for a few decades, and in the heavenly realm for a few days. I will keep my distance from him during these few days, and use these days to think about what choice to make, and give you two a clear answer."

Wang Shouren was very happy to hear this answer. He understood that at least she would keep a distance from Hua Yuchen for his sake, which meant that in her heart, he was already on par with Hua Yuchen. She was just waiting for a clear answer from her.

Wang Shouren kissed Luo Ying's forehead excitedly and said, "I will hurry up to benefit the people of the world, establish meritorious services, and return to heaven to reunite with you soon. I hope you can come back with me to our Forget-Your-Sorrow Palace then."

Luo Ying nodded, and Wang Shouren was so excited that tears filled his eyes. After tens of millions of years of waiting, it seemed that the dawn of victory would soon come.
