Chapter 564: 564
Chapter 564: Butterfly Love Flower
Take it as sucking up.
Seeing that he could not refuse, Chu Xiaoye prepared to agree.
However, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He turned to look at Tang Bolang beside him and said, “Brother Tang, have you heard of Mr. Dongpo?”
Although the true Tang Yin was from the Ming dynasty and this was Southern Tang, and the two could not be the same person, he had to be careful lest there was really a Su Dongpo in this world. That would be embarrassing.
“Mr. Dongpo?”
When Tang Bolang heard this, he was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. “I’ve never heard of this person.”
He looked at Young Master Mei beside him and said, “Have you heard of Mr. Dongpo?”
Young Master Mei also shook his head and said, “No. Could this person be a great talent too?”
Young Master Mei turned around and looked at the scholars behind him. “Have you heard of Mr. Dongpo?”
Those scholars shook their heads and said, “No.”
Chu Xiaoye suddenly laughed shamelessly and said, “I was just joking with everyone. Actually, I’m Mr. Dongpo. My surname is Chu and my nickname is Dongpo. Everyone calls me Chu Dongpo.”
The moment that was said, the scholars hurriedly cupped their hands and said, “So Young Master Chu is Mr. Dongpo. Sorry, sorry.”
Tang Bolang patted Chu Xiaoye’s shoulder and said with a smile, “I’m Bolang and you’re Dongpo. Why don’t the two of us form a group and call it wolf up the east slope? What do you think?”
Damn!
Chu Xiaoye cursed in his heart and said, “Why don’t we call it east slope on the wolf?”
Beside him, Young Master Mei smiled and said, “I’ve only heard of wolves going up the slope, but I’ve never heard of slopes going up wolves.”
The other talents also laughed and said, “Yes, yes, yes.”
Tang Bolang hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Everyone, quieten down! This fellow almost changed the topic! Poems! Make a poem quickly! Miss Luo Yi is still waiting.”
Luo Yi lowered her head slightly with a polite smile, but she was not happy and was very impatient.

She wanted a poem from “Great Scholar Tang”, not this unknown kid.
This kid had been changing the topic. Clearly, he could not do anything.
“Young Master Chu, it’s okay if you can’t do it.”
She smiled and whispered, as if she was comforting him.
Chu Xiaoye picked up his wine glass, drank a mouthful, and read out, “When the flowers fade and sparrows fly, the red and the green and water flow around…”
“Good poem!”
Tang Bohu’s eyes immediately lit up and he praised.
The other scholars immediately quietened down and looked at the young man in surprise. The first few words had already displayed the young man’s high standards.
“There are few willows on the branches and there are plenty of fish in the sea.”
Tang Bohu suddenly stood up and clapped his hands excitedly. “Amazing! Amazing!”
Beside him, Young Master Mei also muttered, “There are plenty of fish in the sea… There are plenty of fish in the sea…”
The disdainful Luo Yi was stunned. Her breathing almost stopped as she looked intently at the youth in front of her, waiting for his next sentence.
The scholars held their breaths and did not move, afraid of disturbing this young man.
“The swing is inside the wall and outside the wall is a path. A man walks outside the wall, and the beauty inside the wall is laughing. The laughter gradually dies down without being heard, but the amorousness is angered by mercilessness.”
Chu Xiaoye finished reading it in one go.
The cabin was silent.
“Bang!”
No one knew who broke the wine glass and broke the silence.
Tang Bohu hugged Chu Xiaoye and said excitedly, “Dongpo! Good poem! Good poem! This poem is so wonderful that my heart is surging and my entire body is trembling. I almost peed my pants!”
“…”
Chu Xiaoye hurriedly pushed this crazy person away.
Young Master Mei, who was at the side, no longer dared to underestimate this youth. He cupped his hands and said, “Brother Dongpo is so talented! Impressive! Impressive!”
Chu Xiaoye also cupped his hands and said, “Brother Dongpo is indeed talented!”
Young Master Mei: “???”
This scholarly meet was already very lively. This made it even more lively.

Luo Yi hurriedly went to get a pen and paper and carefully wrote down the words just now. After memorizing them a few times, she could not wait to play the guzheng and sing.
On the shore of the Qinhuai River, the sound of the guzheng flowed and the song fluttered.
A peerless good poem would appear tonight!
It was believed that before tomorrow, this good poem would spread throughout the entire city. In less than three days, it would spread throughout the entire Suhang!
“Brother Dongpo! Let’s not go home until we’re drunk tonight!”
With Young Master Mei leading the way, the other scholars rushed over to propose a toast.
At first, Chu Xiaoye did not refuse anyone and was soon drunk.
However, he woke up.
He had to leave as soon as possible when he could still walk.
The faces and figures of Lanisi and the others had already spread throughout the entire ship. The scholarly talents were discussing in the corner with envious expressions. There were even some who were thick-skinned and came to propose a toast to the girls, but they were all rejected by Chu Xiaoye.
After filling their stomachs, they would think lasciviously and become bolder after drinking.
No one could guarantee that these cultured and talented people did not have any dirty thoughts or ill intentions. When they saw him in the limelight and had a few beautiful girls accompanying him, they were jealous. They might secretly do something or even snatch them away.
Qin Zhitan was a merchant and did not have any status or authority in Suhang. He did not dare to provoke too many big shots and could not protect them much.
They could only rely on themselves.
Therefore, after Chu Xiaoye drank the last cup of Tang Bolang’s toast, he immediately let out a roar and vomited at this great talent Tang. He vomited the filth that spewed out onto his face.
“Aiya! Aiya!”
The great talent Tang cried out and jumped up, but he fell to the ground drunkenly.
“Brother Tang, sorry. I can’t drink anymore. I should go…”
Chu Xiaoye winked at Lanisi and the others and stood up.
Qin Zhitan’s family immediately got up and escorted them away.
“Young Master Chu! Young Master Chu! Why did you leave so quickly? Didn’t we agree not to return until we’re drunk?”
“That’s right, Young Master Chu, you can’t leave! Continue drinking!”
A few cultured young men immediately stopped him. They saw that he had drank a lot with the wine bottle, but he was not really drunk. Furthermore, those eyes would occasionally glance at Lanisi and the others behind Chu Xiaoye.
“Drink my *ss!”
Chu Xiaoye suddenly roared angrily and pointed at the noses of these young men. “Who do you think you are? Why are you blocking my path? I’m the Jade Emperor, and you’re all my dogs. Hahaha…”
Chu Xiaoye cursed as he narrowed his eyes drunkenly and swayed his body from side to side, looking like he was drunk.
Young Master Mei walked over and said, “Brother Chu looks drunk. Let him go back and rest. We have many chances to meet in the future.”
“But…”
The few cultured young men still did not make way.
“Bang!”
Chu Xiaoye kicked them and slapped them a few more times, causing the weak young men to fall to the ground. He still laughed out loud. “I’m the Jade Emperor! I’m the Jade Emperor! You’re all bastards!”
Young Master Mei hurriedly said, “Quick, send Young Master Chu back.”
Lanisi and Fei’er immediately supported Chu Xiaoye and left quickly under the escort of the Qin family.
After they boarded the small boat, Chu Xiaoye recovered and burped. “Uncle Qin, let’s leave today. Do you have a way?”
Qin Zhitan also seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. He frowned and thought for a moment, then said, “Alright, I’ll do it tomorrow morning. At most, you can board the ship tomorrow night.”
After returning to Qin Manor.
Chu Xiaoye, who was so drunk that he could not resist, was immediately helped into the room by Lanisi. Fei’er was chased out and the door was closed.
Chu Xiaoye was thrown onto the bed. Seeing that the Queen was eagerly peeling his clothes and grinning hideously, he hurriedly shouted, “Fei’er! Save me! Save me!”
When Fei’er heard the sound, she secretly came to the window and used her finger to poke a small hole, sticking her eyes on it.
Before long, Vilis also tiptoed over.
Then, Doya was also tempted and quietly walked over.
Only Denise was still in her room, motionless.
Catherine snuggled at the door and slanted her eyes, looking at them disdainfully.

The Shadow That Preludes Death (The Favoured)
Magic and fantastical beasts run wild on the countless worlds of the Fabric. Deities take an active interest in the Fabric. The Favoured, immortal mages of immense power vie for territory and power in the Fabric. Umbra a naive ward of the Duke is almost Grown and that means she will need to take an apprenticeship. The issue is she isn't good at anything, but she catches the eye of a master of magic, he thinks she might be one of the fabled Protectors the ones that would save them from the coming destruction. But Umbra isn't the hero everyone wants her to be. Updates will at least one chapter every two days. Notable Location Poliagoras. Poliagoras is the most important world in the Fabric partly due to it being the centre of everything both literally and metaphorically. Trade, commerce, travel, and politics are all conducted primarily on Poliagoras, it has the biggest city in the fabric stretching to cover almost the entire world. It also holds all the known Great portals in the Fabric which are the only way to travel to other worlds. Even without these things, Poliagoras would still be the most important world in the Fabric as it is home to the largest population of Favoured. They were mages chosen by the Deities and given the potential to become more than mortal. I cannot overstate how appreciated constructive criticism is. This is the first story I have written of my own volition so even a small comment on how I could improve would be great. The current title is most definitely a working one. I know it isn't great.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
