Chapter 357: Chapter 356: What Jiang Li Dislikes Eating
(The novel “Overbearing Mahayana Love Me” was written by the Sacred Lady of Pure Heart, specific details can be found in chapters 208 and 209. Writing ‘Yu Yin’ in the previous chapter was a typographical error)
“Judging by your expression, you don’t seem to have heard of this book? This book is very popular in the market, each maid in my palace has a copy. Although the writing is mediocre, the admiration and affection the author has for you practically bursts out from the book.”
Yu Yin found Jiang Li’s surprised expression somewhat amusing.
She suspected that the book was written by the Sacred Lady of Pure Heart but lacked evidence.
“I have seen this book in the Pure Land of Red Dust, but I don’t know who the author is.” Jiang Li was speechless. He was told that the theme of the event was ‘getting to know the Human Emperor’, but couldn’t answer the first question.
The Sacred Lady of Pure Heart is exceptionally familiar with “Overbearing Mahayana Love Me”. This was the first book she wrote. After it was promoted in the Pure Land of Red Dust and well-received, she secretly sold it outside, to a surprisingly good response.
The Sacred Lady of Pure Heart was the first to raise her hand: “Nine Degrees of Spring Night.”
Yu Yin, who was sitting on the judging panel, slightly shook her head: “Incorrect answer.”
Golden-Eye White Snow Spirit raised her hand: “Six Degrees of Spring Night.”
“Your answer is correct, add one point.”
Yu Yin dismissed her suspicion of the Sacred Lady of Pure Heart.
The Sacred Lady of Pure Heart was dumbfounded, how could this be? She clearly remembered that she and Jiang Li had been through Nine Degrees of Spring Night.
Then the Sacred Lady of Pure Heart suddenly realized that she had imagined doing it nine times, but when writing the book, restrained herself and only wrote about six times.
“Question two, what was the first thing the Human Emperor said after surviving his fourth deification tribulation?”
The Sacred Lady of Pure Heart raised her hand once again: “Why hasn’t the Deification Staircase appeared yet!”
“Incorrect answer.”
Golden-Eye White Snow Spirit once again raised her hand: “Damn it, why hasn’t the Deification Staircase appeared yet!”
“Correct answer, congratulations to White Snow Spirit for gaining another point.”
Jiang Li: “???”
Why would you remember such a thing, and you even perfectly recalled the swear word? I can’t even remember it myself!
In recent years, Jiang Li has been focusing on cultivating himself and rarely uses profanity.
But if we roll back two to three hundred years, he was also known to swear.
“Question three, Emperor Ji Zhi of Zhou once commented on the Human Emperor, saying ‘Jiang Li is good in all aspects, but…’, what is the second half of the statement?”
“Just doesn’t understand the Way of Time.”
“Correct answer, congratulations to White Snow Spirit for gaining another point.”
Jiang Li: “… Damn you Ji Zhi.”
“Where did you get these weird questions?” Jiang Li asked Yu Yin skeptically.
Yu Yin casually sipped her tea. The tea was good, but it wasn’t brewed to perfection and couldn’t quite match what she brewed herself.
She then leisurely asked: “Did you know that in the last hundred years, there has been an additional field of study the world has taken up?”
“I wasn’t aware.”
“As I suspected, you wouldn’t pay attention to such matters. All major colleges have an additional course called ‘Jiang Li Studies’, which, as the name suggests, is the study of you.”
“From your schedule, actions, diet, speech, etc., it analyses you as a person.”
“What was discovered from these studies?”
Yu Yin smirked: “Nothing was discovered, it’s all a ploy to embezzle spirit stone funding. Apart from that, they sell some useless information to women who admire you. In the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, I have already banned this subject.”
“It’s easy to earn spirit stones from women who admire you. I’ve tried to bring them back to their senses, but they won’t listen.”
Compared to Yu Yin, Jiang Li’s appeal among women is stronger.
“I’ll keep this in mind.”
“Question Four, what is the food that the Human Emperor dislikes the most?”
As soon as these words came out, the mood instantly cooled down. None of the female cultivators participating in the event could answer, even the Golden-Eye White Snow Spirit who had answered the previous three questions correctly was no exception.
If it was a question about what the Human Emperor liked to eat, the answer would undoubtedly be candied haws, but when it comes to what he didn’t like to eat, that was indeed a mystery.
Within the Palace of the White Marsh Emperor Dynasty, the real White Snow Spirit wasn’t reviewing the memorials.
Spread out in front of her were numerous books, both large and small. There were history books, romance novels, and collections of research papers. The common thread running through all these books was that they were all related to Jiang Li.
White Snow Spirit was rapidly browsing through these books using Divine Sense, trying to find a reference to what Jiang Li disliked eating.
“Hurry up, where is it?” Golden-Eye White Snow Spirit urged the real White Snow Spirit.
Both were synched in terms of perception and thought. What the real White Snow Spirit knew, Golden-Eye White Snow Spirit also knew. This method had previously enabled her to win three times in a row.
“I can’t find it.” The real White Snow Spirit admitted defeat. There are indeed many books related to Jiang Li, but not every aspect of Jiang Li’s life is recorded in detail.
“Jiang Li doesn’t like celery.”
The confident voice of the Sacred Lady of Pure Heart echoed.
“Correct answer. One point for the Sacred Lady.”
Golden-Eye White Snow Spirit curiously asked: “Sacred Lady, how did you know?”
The Joyful Bodhisattva and Dream Yu Yu were also awaiting the Sacred Lady’s answer.
The Sacred Lady of Pure Heart smiled sweetly, remembering fondly: “When Jiang Li first rescued me from the demonic cultivators, we spent three months together. Although I’m not refined in worldly matters, my culinary skills were decent, so I cooked for him.”
“Whatever I cooked, he would eat. Until, one day, when I made stir-fried celery with cured meat. He only ate the cured meat, not a single bite of celery.”
In the spectator stands, the fairy of Red Dust patted Jiang Li’s shoulder, as if having found a kindred spirit: “It’s alright, I don’t like celery either.”
Fairy Red Dust had started fasting, but she was quite idle in the Pure Land of Red Dust, so she had her disciples make some food.
And that’s how she ended up tasting the worst food in the world — celery.
Jiang Li, with an unpleasant expression, glared at Yu Yin: “This question wouldn’t have come from those people studying me?”
It would make sense to study what he enjoyed eating, as he ate them regularly. However, studying what he disliked was just too hard.
Those majoring in “Jiang Li Studies” wouldn’t possibly know what food he disliked.
Jiang Li had only eaten celery a few times, and the number of people who knew that he disliked it were even fewer.
Yet, Yu Yin happened to be one of those few people.
Yu Yin replied expressionlessly: “Master Mo enthusiastically asked, and I felt it would be rude to refuse, so I randomly came up with some.”
“Empress, it’s actually you who volunteered to do so.” Master Mo appeared; she had realized early on that Yu Yin was talking to herself, and after some contemplation, figured out that the expert in concealment, the Human Emperor, must be nearby.
“Master Mo, you must be mistaken, it was you who invited me to make up the questions.”
“Yes, yes, that’s right, it was me who invited you.” Master Mo covered her mouth and chuckled, not wanting to bicker about the issue.
“Long time no see, Human Emperor.”
“You’re too kind, Master – just call me Jiang Li.”
The Mount Heshan stone shifted a bit, greeting Jiang Li.
It wasn’t very familiar with Jiang Li. The only close encounter it ever had was when it first gained consciousness, being pummeled by Jiang Li and understanding the dangers of the path of immortality.
Then, it was the time when it was captured by Jiang Li using the system store feature and forced to stay obediently by Master Mo’s side.
However, its relationship with the Sky Desolate Halberd was quite good, often referring to each other as brothers with both wanting to be the older one.
The Sky Desolate Halberd called it ‘little brother’, and it called the Sky Desolate Halberd ‘little brother’ in return.
