Universe’s Ultimate BOSS
Chapter Summary
"Grandpa Guo, Duoduo, you've come!" Zhao Yiling walked gracefully to Guo Yunzi, greeted her politely, and then took the hand of the girl named Duoduo, exchanging a smile. It looks like Old Zhao will be laughing in his sleep this time." "Hehe, congratulations to Sister Yiling on finding her lover," Duoduo said with a smile, covering her mouth. "Based on the love poem he gave you last time, you've passed the first test!" Duoduo grabbed Zhao Yiling's small hand and said with a coquettish smile.
"Grandpa Guo, Duoduo, you've come!"
Zhao Yiling walked gracefully to Guo Yunzi, greeted her politely, and then took the hand of the girl named Duoduo, exchanging a smile.
"Yiling is getting more and more beautiful. Where is that young man you mentioned?" Guo Yunzi stroked his beard and laughed.
Zhao Yiling's pretty face flushed red, as if she had applied rouge. She pointed her little finger at Wang Hao, who was not far behind her, and acted like a little woman.
Upon witnessing this scene, a strange sense of shattering ran through the hearts of all the men in the audience. Could it be that their goddess had truly fallen for that lewd man who wrote erotic poems?!
"Good, good, good..." Guo Yunzi laughed loudly, "He is indeed a handsome man. It looks like Old Zhao will be laughing in his sleep this time."
"Hehe, congratulations to Sister Yiling on finding her lover," Duoduo said with a smile, covering her mouth.
"What nonsense are you talking about? He wants to marry me, but there are still two hurdles to overcome." Zhao Yiling stomped her feet shyly, then tickled Duoduo.
We're doomed!
Every boy in the room felt a sudden pang of pain in their heart. Zhao Yiling was a well-known ice queen; when had she ever shown such an expression? Even a blind person could see that this ice queen had fallen in love.
"Based on the love poem he gave you last time, you've passed the first test!" Duoduo grabbed Zhao Yiling's small hand and said with a coquettish smile.
Guo Yunzi nodded with a smile and softly recited, "In the north there is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent. One glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation. What a fine poem, what a fine poem!"
As soon as she finished speaking, all the boys in the room felt another pang of pain in their hearts. This time, there was really no hope. Their goddess had long said that the man she was looking for was both scholarly and martial.
Now that this poem praising the goddess's unparalleled beauty has been recited, wouldn't the goddess immediately take notice? Add to that the poem from before, and she'd probably be completely captivated!
Nowadays, as long as this man can demonstrate extraordinary talent in martial arts, or even just be stronger than the average person, he can immediately win the heart of a beautiful woman.
"Grandpa Guo, he just wrote another poem." Zhao Yiling blushed, but her expression was extremely proud. After all, her beauty could make a talented man write two poems that would be passed down through the ages. No woman could resist such an honor.
"Oh? What poem?!" Guo Yunzi became interested.
He only said two sentences.
"A single glance back, a smile, and a hundred beauties pale in comparison," Zhao Yiling said shyly.
"Incredible!" Guo Yunzi praised repeatedly. It's truly remarkable that young people these days can write poems of such a high standard, and even two in a row.
The almond-shaped eyes beside her gleamed with golden light; this person's literary talent was truly remarkable.
“Little guy, poems usually have four lines, and you only have two. How about you finish the other two lines today?” Guo Yunzi looked at Wang Hao with some anticipation. He really wanted to see a poem that would be passed down through the ages born.
Wang Hao rolled his eyes. This poem was Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret," which described Yang Guifei. The poem was nearly a thousand characters long. If he memorized it, wouldn't he be immediately exposed? Where would he go to pick up girls then?
"Old man, who are you?! Why should I listen to you?!" Wang Hao curled his lip in disdain.
The moment the words left his mouth, everyone present was stunned. This bastard actually called Guo Yunzi an old man! Did he have a death wish?!
You must understand that Guo Yunzi is a towering figure in the literary world. If Wang Hao were to be angered, he could forget about ever making it in the literary world again. Some powerful figures who love literature might even try to blacklist Wang Hao, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
This is no joke. After all, the Yaotian Federation is steeped in ancient traditions, and scholars hold a very high status!
"What's wrong with you? Quickly apologize to Grandpa Guo." Zhao Yiling was startled and glared angrily at Wang Hao.
Guo Yunzi waved his hand and said with a smile, "The little guy is quite arrogant! He seems to look down on this old man."
"Respect is earned, not given. Last time I wrote a poem, you explain its meaning and let me see how capable you are." Wang Hao ignored Zhao Yiling.
"Alright! I'll see what kind of profound poems you can write, you little rascal." Guo Yunzi became interested.
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Guo Yunzi had seen more than Wang Hao had ever seen, yet he still wanted to test Guo Yunzi with poetry. He was truly overestimating himself.
Xia Weiwei tugged at Le Xuan and whispered, "I have a feeling that Wang Hao is about to dig another hole."
Le Xuan nodded. They were used to this kind of thing. Every time someone thought Wang Hao was bound to lose, he had already dug a pit for them, just waiting for others to fall into it.
"Last time, I was boating on the river with a beautiful woman, and I was so inspired that I wrote: 'I moor my boat at the misty islet, and at dusk, a new sorrow arises for the traveler. The wilderness is vast, the sky low, the trees sparse, the river clear, and the moon seems close to man.'" Wang Hao looked up at the moon, his expression one of reminiscing about the past.
"Boating on the river with a beautiful woman!!" Zhao Yiling's face instantly turned cold. Although she had done a simple investigation into Wang Hao's identity and knew that this guy's name was Le Xiaoxuan, nicknamed "Jade-Faced Little Flying Dragon," and that he specialized in seducing talented women.
But now they dare to say this so brazenly in front of her, they simply don't respect her at all.
It seems he doesn't yet know what the name Zhao Yiling represents. I'll have to make him understand later that once he enters Zhao Yiling's door, he has to say goodbye to his previous life.
"What a fine poem! What a fine poem!" Guo Yunzi praised repeatedly, then thought for a moment and said, "The whole poem is subtle yet flavorful, understated yet profound, flowing naturally with a unique charm. Especially the line 'river clear' makes the moon seem close to people. The relationship between the sky and the trees, people and the moon is written aptly and realistically. The 'sorrow' should be the feeling of homesickness."
"Nonsense! Who's homesick?!" Wang Hao scoffed, then said smugly, "As I just said, I was boating on the river with a beautiful woman. The misty scenery was very romantic. But when I saw the sun was setting, I didn't go back. So, we did some things we liked to do to pass the time. As for 'the river is clear and the moon is close to people,' that's just a metaphor to describe how we felt like we were floating on the moon while we were doing that."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Wasn't that just a suggestive poem?!
However, this poem is full of meaning but not words, which is a rare masterpiece. Bah! This is a poem that only a shameless person would write.
Le Xuan now felt like tearing Wang Hao to pieces. She knew that Wang Hao was using her identity, which meant that after the banquet tonight, her reputation as a genius would quickly spread throughout the entire Yaotian Federation.
If Qiu Lei is rescued and their identities are exposed, once they return to the Interstellar Federation, the title of "girl who can write erotic poems" will be firmly attached to her. How will she ever be able to go out in public again?!
