RNP Chapter 382 The 8th Level Son of God
Chapter 382 The 8th Level Son of God
After completing the contract, Ye Li came out of the grove feeling relaxed. There were still about three and a half days before he started promoting the business of Wangsheng Hall. He could have fun to his heart's content during this period and rob the rich to help the poor.
Ye Li has not been slacking off these days. Every night he will transform into a ghost and go to the homes of major clients to collect intelligence, especially those of the nobles. All their secrets will be revealed. As long as they write down the name of the thief and the threat, they will fall into the trap.
As for why Ye Li had this idea, just look at the undealt corpses in some corners and you will know.
The filth beneath this prosperity makes Ye quite uncomfortable. After all, Liyue has the Geo King, the Three-Eyed Five-Manifested Immortal, and the Seven Stars and Eight Gates, so the basic food and clothing of the civilians are guaranteed.
As for the current war trend in Inazuma, there are ordinary people dying on the streets, and various tragedies are still happening continuously. The tariffs implemented by Kanto are one of the weapons that crush the civilians of Inazuma.
Even though the shrine magistrate and the Narukami Taisha tried their best to protect the lives of the civilians under them, they were still powerless. After all, the people of Inazuma were scattered across various islands, and the ships transporting goods would inevitably encounter thunderstorms and the risk of being hijacked by pirate ships.
Ye Li and Zhe Ping were able to reach the outlying island safely without encountering pirates, mostly due to luck, and the remaining small part was due to the thunderstorm weather that allowed them to avoid a head-on conflict with the pirates.
Think about the raging waves and thunderstorms on the sea, they are all manifestations of the power of the god of thunder. Except for the ships that left at night and the Southern Cross Fleet, basically no pirate ship dared to run around at this time. After all, those who did so would have their ships destroyed and their lives dead.
When they came to the street, Ye Li found a branch of Yaedo. Being bored, he and Zheping decided to see if there were any interesting light novels there.
As soon as they stepped into the door of the Yaedo branch, the front desk clerk seemed to be away, so Ye Li and Zheping had no choice but to walk around and look for any light novels that they were interested in reading.
The two turned and walked to the lower right corner of the bookstore. Ye Li and Zhe Ping looked at the books placed in the most conspicuous position with different expressions, especially the illustrations on the cover, which made Ye Li a little nervous.
Zheping looked at the cover of the book, then at Ye Li whose expression suddenly became stiff. He touched his chin and walked to the most conspicuous shelf in the bookstore. He reached out and picked up the book, looking at the name on the cover and silently read:
[The Adventures of the Emperor's Son, Volume 3: Absolute Cloud]
After reading the name, Zheping looked at the protagonist who looked like a boy of twelve or thirteen on the cover, then looked at Ye Li who looked like a young man, and flipped through the investment introduction page of the book. When he saw the three words "Wangshengtang" on it, he suddenly realized it and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said:
"Mr. Ye Li actually has the leisure and elegance to become the protagonist of a light novel. Let me see. I still have the first two volumes. I'll buy them all and admire them."
"Okay, just buy it. Just remember not to take what's inside seriously."
"Mr. Ye Li, you are joking again. I know that everything in the novel is fake, and this is adapted and published by Yaedang. It must be a little different from the original."
Ye Li was helpless. Ever since Wendy published this book, it had become so popular that he, the person who had given the image rights, had become something like a big star. If it weren't for his amazing skills, he would have been chased by a group of people on the streets of Liyue.
After all, with his appearance, he didn't want to encounter a group of young girls rushing towards him like tigers and wolves again.
So Ye Li ran to Xumi and Inazuma this time to avoid the limelight. He would go back after the storm passed, so that he wouldn't have to hide in his own little house and the Hall of Rebirth all day long.
"Oh my, look who's here! The son of the famous emperor has come to visit my small branch of Yaedo. I am honored to be here."
Hearing the tingling sound behind him, Ye Li was not surprised at all, but he still turned around with a twitching mouth to look at the fox in front of the store, who was wearing a belly-exposed witch costume, pink hair and fox ears, and said with a fake smile on his face:
"Isn't this Miss Yae Gongji, one of the publishers and investors? You are really embarrassing me by saying this. The Emperor will blame me."
"Haha~, Lord Li, don't say that. You are a master who can bring down thousands of mountains with one hand. I can't bear you saying that."
Seeing Yae Shenzi approaching with his hand covering his mouth to hide the playful smile on her face, Ye Li knew this guy's character very well and could not give her a chance to make fun of him, so he extended his hand unceremoniously and said:
"Since Miss Yaemiyaji likes to joke so much, I will reluctantly play the role that I have granted the image rights to."
"Oh, what's your trick, Master Li?"
The inexplicable atmosphere created by the two of them made Zheping, who was holding the book, a little confused, especially what the two of them said. He could understand them separately and when they were put together, but why did he always feel like he would be implicated?
Zheping decided to trust his intuition. He took the book and ran to the front desk to pay the bill with the waitress who had returned. Then he turned around and walked out the door, away from this place.
The waitress who settled the bill looked at the two people arguing with surprise, especially Ye, whose handsome appearance was even more handsome than the one on the cover.
It was just because Lord Yae Palace Master was there, she could only restrain her excitement from running up to ask for an autograph, and with a blushing face she watched as Lord Yae Shen Zi brought Ye Li to the inner reception room.
At this moment, Zheping, who was standing at the door of Yaedo, glanced at the sky. Helplessly, he had to find a bench to sit down, open the book he just bought, and intend to see what kind of image Mr. Ye Li played in the story of this light novel.
As for Ye Li's safety, he could even hang himself up and beat him, so Zheping was not too worried. Instead, he was curious about how the so-called Prime Minister of Yae-do, that is, the chief priest of Yae-dono, would deal with Ye Li's idea of not playing by the rules.
Zheping has been following Ye Li for almost a month. He has become completely accustomed to this guy's mentality of being mysterious and aloof in the beginning, and now being incomprehensible and entertaining, but he still has an instinctive respect for him in his heart.
Just as Zheping opened the first volume of the Inazuma version of The Adventures of the Emperor's Son, Ye Li was also talking to the Yae God Son with a smile on his face.
"How about it? Are you interested in doing this? This will not only promote your Yae-do, but also greatly help our Wangsei-do's business. This is a win-win result."
"Master Li has said so much, and I naturally understand what you meant. I wonder if you brought the detailed contract with you."
"Alright, Miss Yae, stop calling me Lord Li. I have a name, just call me Ye Li. As for the details of the contract, I'm naturally well prepared."
"Since Mr. Ye Li has said so, then I will naturally obey your orders. Also, just call me Son of God. After all, being called Miss Yae by such a handsome face makes me feel like I am taking advantage."
"That's so embarrassing, but since Miss Shen Zi has said so, I won't refuse. Besides, Miss Shen Zi is so beautiful, I'm taking advantage of her."
As the contract was signed by both parties, smiles appeared on Ye Li and Yae Shen Zi's faces, but at the same time they felt troubled by the other party's shamelessness.
Yae Shenzi's idea was very simple. She wanted to play a trick on the guest official who came to promote Wangshengtang with intelligence, but she didn't expect that the other party was so thick-skinned. He used a tactic of retreating to advance and almost defeated her.
Fortunately, she was extremely thick-skinned and successfully resisted the attack.
