Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 275

As those six big words came into view, gasps echoed throughout the audience, sounding just like what Ye Junlin had said.

“This young master is not only handsome, but also so talented! I’m in love!”

“If I could marry him, I’d wake up smiling in my dreams!”

“What should I do? I want to have lots and lots of kids with him—just to clarify, I only genuinely like kids!”

“Yeah right, trust you, you wicked witch!”

“Exactly, just say you want to sleep with him! If such a man becomes my husband, I wouldn’t mind being at his beck and call from dawn till dusk!”

“Sister, you know how to enjoy life!”

The discussions around were fervent, filled with bold and wild remarks.

Li Wujie’s expression revealed envy; indeed, looking overly handsome does come with perks.

But sadly for him, he wasn’t that striking.

Ye Junlin felt a chill running down his spine, feeling like someone was watching him closely.

He couldn’t imagine the terrifying fate he would face if he were completely defenseless and alone in the Heavenly Daughter Country…

Yet, he did confirm one thing: his luck was indeed extraordinary. Even in such a guessing game, he casually got it right.

“Master Ye, you’re truly talented.”

Dongfang Mengyao’s eyes sparkled with adoration, looking at the silver-haired youth standing tall and elegantly, completely captivated by both his looks and abilities.

“Wait a minute,”

Ye Junlin’s expression turned odd as he looked at the answer on the colorful lights, “I mean shopkeeper, why did you come up with these six words? Was it intentional or by accident?”

“The Most Handsome Author in History?”

That name was just way too narcissistic!

What a shameless display.

No seriously, it was just plain shameless!

Mei Yi smiled, “If this is the pen name of some author, I personally think it’s quite special.”

Her book “How to Make a Man Fall in Love Quickly” was a best-seller, ranking first in the market, and her pen name was simple yet elegant: One Blossom Plum.

But seeing such a self-praising pen name, Mei Yi felt she might have been too humble.

Maybe she should’ve changed her pen name to: The Most Beautiful Author in History!

“Ugh~”

After the embarrassing incident on the luxury boat, Dongfang Mengyao had no fondness for writing, and now looking at these six big words, she scoffed:

“Who in their right mind would pick such a pen name?”

“Clearly it sounds weak and uninspiring!”

Upon hearing this,

the middle-aged shopkeeper awkwardly said, “Well, actually, I had a dream of being an author when I was young. I just thought it would be a nice way to memorialize my lost youth, so please be gentle with your words.”

Ye Junlin said seriously, “Shopkeeper, do you have some sort of hidden difficulties? Writing requires knowledge and perseverance; as long as you’re willing to stick with it, your dreams can come true.”

The middle-aged shopkeeper’s eyes were puffy and dark, one hand on his aching back, shook his head and sighed, “Young master, given my situation, how can I persist? Every time I make the effort to gather knowledge, those ladies drain me dry, leaving me with not a drop left!”

“As for writing, I honestly don’t have the energy for it right now!”

With every word, he was filled with helplessness towards reality.

Ye Junlin: “…”

In your case, there’s not much I can say.

Just make do with it!

“Here, this is the prize; it’s all yours, young master!” the middle-aged shopkeeper said with a smile.

Ye Junlin took the bag and instinctively opened it to take a look, his face instantly turning dark, “Shopkeeper, you must be joking!”

“What’s in there?” Li Wujie leaned in curiously, exclaimed, “Whoa, good stuff!”

Hong Qianye also came over to peek and then silently stepped back, her expression delightful yet enigmatic.

“Master Ye, what’s inside?” Dongfang Mengyao noticed something was off, leaned over to look in the bag, and her pretty face instantly flushed bright red as she covered her face and quickly stepped back.

Inside the bag were all kinds of animal parts—bull whips, deer whips, sheep whips, dog whips, horse whips…

Each one had potency-enhancing properties!

Now, seeing a full bag of those, one could imagine how effective they would be!

The middle-aged shopkeeper kindly said, “Master, since we’re in the Heavenly Daughter Country, let’s not beat around the bush. A handsome man like you definitely needs these good things to back you up.”

“Look at me; I was also a well-known handsome lad back in my youth. Ever since I came to the Imperial Capital and spent all those years grinding away, I’ve been reduced to nothing. In this treacherous place, the most valuable thing we men have is our kidney!!”

Clearly, the middle-aged shopkeeper looked at Ye Junlin and seemed to reminisce about his once spirited youth.

Moreover, Ye Junlin was much better looking than he was back then, and just thinking about the young man’s future made him feel a deep sympathy.

“Keep it for yourself; I don’t need it.”

Ye Junlin dropped that one-liner and tossed the bag aside, turning to leave.

Hearing that, all the ladies had meaningful expressions.

Not needed?

That means he’s quite confident then!

“Master Ye, wait for me!”

Even Dongfang Mengyao was shocked and delighted by Ye Junlin’s bold move, her heart racing like crazy.

This showed absolute confidence in that area!

What Ye Junlin didn’t know was that the casual remark he made had fired up all the women around him.

He just thought this gift was absurdly bizarre!

Why accept it at all?

Watching that retreating figure, the middle-aged shopkeeper sighed dramatically, “Ah, still too young.”

At the same time,

the hustle and bustle of the Imperial Capital continued, even reaching a peak.

“Hurry, hurry! The flower car ceremony is about to start!”

“I want to see the young master riding the flower car!”

“Who will be the most dazzling young master at this year’s flower car festival?”

“Every time, there’s always a rich lady who spends extravagantly to hire a flower car for her favorite man for a tour around the Imperial Capital; you can’t imagine how flamboyant that scene is!”

“Wah, these days, it’s always the wealthy who get their happy endings. For us broke women, what man would choose us?”

…

Many women, decked out in colorful attire, chattered eagerly, looking forward to the upcoming flower car ceremony.

The flower car festival was the grandest event in the Heavenly Daughter Country.

In the final part of this festival, various flower cars would appear, and wealthy women would hire their desired flower car for their male partners. They would take this opportunity to ride around the Imperial Capital together, and when they reached the destination, the most popular male-female pair could ascend the rainbow bridge prepared by the organizers, overseeing the entire Imperial Capital, enjoying endless beautiful sights, and becoming a hot topic in the Heavenly Daughter Country.

After all, riding a top-notch handsome man in a flower car was enough to make all the sisters watching the ceremony envious and jealous.

To put it bluntly, it’s a way for capable women to flaunt their vanity!

Commoners could only watch, drool a bit, and then, with elevated pillows, perhaps even dream a good dream at night.

This world is just so real!

“Is there a flower car to see?” noticing the change in the atmosphere, Ye Junlin said with interest.

This local festival was a first for him.

Unconsciously, Ye Junlin thought about pulling out some seeds and passively enjoying the show.

“Master Ye!”

Dongfang Mengyao’s cheeks flushed, mustering her courage said, “I…I’d like to invite you to ride the flower car with me!”

“Can I really?” Ye Junlin was stunned.

Dongfang Mengyao quickly clarified, “Of course you can! You deserve it!”

Riding a flower car with the man she fancied would be her first time.

“Sure, let me give it a try.”

Ye Junlin pondered for a moment and readily agreed.

After all,

he was already here.

“Really? You really want to ride the flower car with me?” Dongfang Mengyao couldn’t believe happiness came so quickly, her eyes sparkling with joy.

“Of course.”

Ye Junlin nodded, secretly wondering why riding in a car could be so thrilling.

I’m basically a veteran at this!
