Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 400: Relationship Problems, What Happens to the Realm
“You are Cao Bao and Xiao Shen?”
Li Nianfan was slightly surprised. He carefully looked at them.
They were the direct cause of Zhao Gongming's death. One could tell that they were born to curse Zhao Gongming.
During the era of ‘The Coronation of the Gods’, Zhao Gongming had 24 Immortal Pearls of Dinghai. He was considered superior to all but Saints. At that time, he was being hunted. He passed Wuyi Mountain and met Cao Bao and Xiao Shen who were playing chess.
They were bad cultivators but they coincidentally had a Deluxe Merit Treasure Chest that could drop their enemy's items. Due to bad luck, Zhao Gongming lost 24 Dinghai Immortal Pearls along with his Dragon Rope. He was immediately in a disadvantageous position.
Li Nianfan did not expect that two important ‘’ minor characters in the legendary story would appear in front of him.
Cao Bao and Xiao Shen noticed that Li Nianfan was staring at them. It instantly sent a tremor to their backs. They asked anxiously, “Santo, do you know us?”
“I've heard of you. I am a Deluxe Merit Saint but I am just an ordinary man, there is no need to be too nervous. ” Li Nianfan must laugh. Then, he said, “You guys seem to be working for Zhao Gongming, right?”
In the legendary story, Cao Bao and Xiao Shen are at ‘The Coronation of the Gods’. Interestingly, they became Zhao Gongming's workers. That should be the payment for their karma.
Xiao Shen was the Ruler of Attracting Money. Cao Bao is the Ruler of Treasure Gatherers. They are responsible for managing finances and market flows. They mainly manage the people's finances. They were considered as the Chancellors of the Heavenly Palace.
Xiao Shen said respectfully, “You were right, Saint. We work for the King of the Profound Altar of Dragon Tiger .. also known as Zhao Gongming.”
Li Nianfan asked curiously, “Where is the Master of the Profound Altar?”
Cao Bao replied, “The Profound Altar Master was a disciple of the Saints back then. He's much stronger than us. He did not return after the disaster.”
Li Nianfan nodded. He had a question about the disaster.
So many experts have died. Even Saints could not escape. Everything's getting messed up. The disaster was far more terrifying than any great tribulation or calamity.
Something's not right. Li Nianfan stopped thinking about it. He asked, “Do you guys manage money in the Eternal Realm?”
“Yes, Santo,” replied Cao Bao. “It would be recorded as a sin if they hurt others because of money. Of course, those who give money can repent of their sins. At the same time, we also manage their finances well.”
Xiao Shen nervously said, “We have just been looking for entertainment while working. We don't need to pay too much attention unless we have a rare case. Please, forgive us, Santo.”
‘I understand. They are watching the video...during work?’
Li Nianfan laughed. “Alright, no need to be nervous like that. I'm not your boss. I just saw.”
The Gods of Finance were especially necessary to avoid financial chaos. Money was the source of chaos, and the Eternal Realm would be destroyed if their money system were to be chaotic. But it was a relatively easy job.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Do your job properly. Fight for bonuses at the end of the year.”
Cao Bao and Xiao Shen heaved a sigh of relief after Li Nianfan left. They silently wiped away the cold sweat on their foreheads. ‘Is this the powerful aura of a hotshot? Too scary. We can't even breathe.’
Cao Bao was shocked. He asked curiously, “Xiao Shen, just now .. do you know what a Saint means by bonus?”
Xiao Shen carefully thought about it. “Bonus sounds like a promotion, right?”
“Promotion?” Cao Bao furrowed his brows. Then, he seemed to realize something. He excitedly asked in a trembling voice, “For someone like Saint, what does he mean Deluxe .. Deluxe Merit as a bonus?”
“Prepared-maybe.” Xiao Shen had wide eyes. He excitedly paced around the palace. “We stabilize the finances of the Eternal Realm. He most likely meant it! We have to work hard, do our job properly so we can get some Merit Deluxe by the end of the year!”
“Not Deluxe Merit, Saints say it's called bonus!”
“Yes, yes, bonus. We have to work hard to get the bonus!”
Li Nianfan took a walk after walking out of the Financial God Palace. He gradually learned about their work.
The Heavenly Palace exists mainly to avoid chaos in the three realms. They don't manage everything, but they can if they want to. Whatever their mood.
Their main responsibility is to help when something goes wrong. Once an uncontrollable situation occurs, they will do whatever they need to do to stop the tragedy. Usually, they work quite casually.
Meanwhile, at the Yue Lao Palace.
A young woman was holding a bundle of red thread in her hand. He looked at her and did not notice.
There were about ten knots in that group. That's messy.
Her eyes are red. He looked like he was on the verge of collapse. “Dead knot, dead end knot, and dead end knot again! What the hell is going on?”
She was pouting like she wanted to cry but no tears came out. He sighed and said, “What does the world experience after all these years? When did the relationship get so complicated? I beg you all to put me back in the seal. ”
He tried to let go of his knot for a while but he ended up turning it into a tied ball…
“He loves her, he loves her, he loves her and she .. Argh-let me die!”
The young woman threw a tied ball. He's really done with that. He turned around and looked at the old man sitting by the door.
The old man had very thin white hair. He's almost bald. He was wearing a red robe. He scratched his head while frowning at the book in his hand. He looks troubled.
“Mastered-“
The young lady sadly looked at the old man. He said in a tragic voice, “I failed ..”
The old man turned his head and looked at the tied ball. The corner of his mouth twitched. Then, he raised his hand and dropped the small golden scissors in front of the young lady. “It can't be saved, just cut it.”
The young lady excitedly picked up the scissors and cut them off. He immediately felt great.
However, before he could sigh in relief, two clay people with complicated relationships flew out. The red rope quickly tied them.
“Finding true love so quickly after severing all complicated relationships?” The young woman was interested. However, he looked at the two clay people with fear. He covered his mouth with his hand.
He calmed himself down and took one of the clay men. He touched the clay man's pimples. Then, he picked up another clay person and touched him. Also acne…
“Both ... they both have acne!” The young lady covered her mouth and looked at them in disbelief. It was a complicated fear, but he was also somewhat excited.
“It has changed. The world has changed.”
His voice vibrates. He looks excited. “Master, what should I do in a situation like this?”
“Cut? Cut where?”
“Tali. Where again?”
“Oh ..” The young lady looked disappointed.
The elder scratched his head and suddenly realized that some strands of hair were falling out. He immediately shed tears. He angrily said, “Cut quickly. Come with me to the Underworld after you're done!”
The young woman was confused. “Master, why do we go to the Underworld?”
“To speak with Cow Head and Horse Face! This is intimidation! They were deliberately trying to make me bald!” he said while running towards the door. However, he stopped in his tracks when he collided with Li Nianfan.
“Santo ... Holy Lord!”
The elder widened his eyes in horror. Then, he quickly saluted and said, “Greetings from Yue Lao to Lord Saint.”
Xiao Luo also bowed and greeted, “Greetings from Xiao Luo to Lord Saint.” Li Nianfan saluted back. He smiled and asked, “Yue Lao, why are you in such a hurry? Where did you go?”
“Mendesah. Master Saint, you came at the right time. You become the judge. Does the Underworld treat us unfairly?”
Yue Lao was full of complaints. She's pissed. He handed the book to Li Nianfan and raved, “The relationship problem is not easy to make. They just wrote ‘relationship problems’ and gave it to me. What can I do?”
Li Nianfan opened the book and looked at the row of words, ‘Connect problem. Every problem they faced would be harsh and brutal. Relationships that fail, as if Fate keeps stopping them. However.. Happy ending.’ ‘Hah?
‘Why look familiar?
‘Is this Yun Yiyi and Jiese?’
“See, look at this,” said Yue Lao in pain. She said angrily, “It was destined to be a failed relationship but needed a happy ending. Isn't that contradictory? Most importantly. I have to prepare for relationship problems that will last for nine lives! I can't think of anything without being bald. ”
“Um...excuse me,” Li Nianfan for a moment. He said in an apologetic tone, “If I am not mistaken, they are both my friends. I let the Underworld help them.”
Yue Lao instantly froze on the spot. He's dumbfounded. He's not moving.
He breathed in through his mouth. His teeth hurt and his heart grew cold. He crazy.
‘What did I say? What the hell am I doing? Am I going to die?’
“Itu.”
Yue Lao sobbed and almost cried. He said in a trembling voice, “I suddenly feel this sentence is very well written! As Yue Lao, I have always been looking for a challenge like this. Creating relationship problems is my specialty. A very challenging project. Interesting, very interesting. I'm excited, I'll think about it. Don't worry, Saint, I understand this.”
Li Nianfan had to laugh. “Yue Lao, you don't need to be like that. I won't force you or trouble you.”
“Forcing me or distressing me?” Yue Lao felt her lips tremble. He shuddered and hurriedly said, “Not at all. It's no problem at all. I'm too happy and really willing to do this.”
Li Nianfan said, “Yue Lao, about relationship issues, I have some ideas. You can use it as a reference. ”
Yue Lao replied without thinking, “Don't hesitate to say it, Saint. I will listen attentively.”
“Master, let's invite Lord Saint to sit inside first.”
Xiao Luo secretly reminded him at the side. He secretly glanced at Li Nianfan. She always had a friendly smile, she wondered why her Master was so afraid of her. He's very handsome.
“Ya sure. What am I thinking?” Yue Lao continued to nod in realization. “Lord Saint, please, chase you.”
“Then, sorry for the interruption.”
Li Nianfan walked to Yue Lao Palace. He glanced at those clay and red threads. He had an idea but he held it off for a while.
Xiao Luo ran to make tea for Li Nianfan.
Li Nianfan said, “Yue Lao. Creating relationship problems requires skills. I've got some short stories about unsettling love, hopefully helping you.”
Yue Lao said sincerely, “Please, teach me, Mr. Saint.”
Her hair was barely able to hold. “My first story, ‘Butterfly Lovers’..” Li Nianfan immediately retells a popular love story from his past realm. ‘Couple Lovers’, ‘Legenda Snake White’, and ‘Romansa Room Barat’.
It's all a short story. It's not complicated but the romance is just right.
Xiao Luo did not stop crying from the beginning to the end of the story. She kept crying. As for Yue Lao ... he did not stop smiling He even took the brush in his hand. He's taking notes. He said excitedly, “Levitable. These stories are amazing! Xiao Luo, don't just cry, make a note. Hurry up and make a note. It's a valuable material. We can use it in the future to inspire others in romance.”
Li Nianfan felt his heart fall. He suddenly felt strange. ‘In the future.. Will this beautiful tragic love story be passed down from generation to generation because of me?’
“Lord Saint, you are truly talented. Every story is so touching. They will be household stories. You have helped me a lot.”
Yue Lao did not try to kiss her. He was really impressed and grateful. Their work will be much easier with story templates. “The experts are too amazing. Even the love story is so memorable. Very legendary. Is there something in nature that he can't do?’
Li Nianfan smiled and replied, “I'll let you handle my friends, Yue Lao.”
Yue Lao became serious. He immediately promised, “Don't worry, Mr. Saint. I got this. I will personally help them get an amazing experience.”
In the blink of an eye, it was a day of battle.
Li Nianfan was not walking around. He naturally followed to check how the soldiers fought the Devils.
There were 3,000 soldiers at the Southern Sky Gate that day.
Some cultivators had not even become Gods. They must fill the army. However, three days was not enough to gather 3,000 people.
So. The Jade Emperor once again taught Li Nianfan something new.
Nearly 2,000 soldiers were actually Jade Emperor's clones.
That's very shameless.
Its leader, Daoist Taihua, was already a clone of the Jade Emperor. Most of the soldiers were also made from the Jade Emperor. That battle was basically the Jade Emperor's solo battle. He tried hard to maintain the reputation of the Heavenly Palace.
