Under his watchful gaze, Bai Yueling nodded slowly after a moment of silence.
"This Emperor will not shoot for no reason, be it right or wrong, this Emperor has its own judgment."
"That's good."
Jiang Qiao was quite satisfied with her response.
If he really met the type of person to take over the world or establish a martial art sect, Jiang Qiao had no choice but to hand him/her over to the state.
"As for the basic way of life in this world, I will try to get you acquainted with it. Before that, you must at least become like us, so that people will not see you as an alien at a single glance."
"Haven't you heard this Emperor's words just now!? My spiritual power has been lost, and the transformation spell can't be done now!" Bai Yueling's tone was dissatisfied, wondering if this guy was deliberately trying to find fault with her.
Jiang Qiao covered his face with one hand, slightly embarrassed: "I mean your self-proclaimed nickname should be changed. Generally, we would think that such a person has a middle school disease."
(T/L: Chuunibyou; teenagers who have self-important fantasies, knowing-it-all)
"What disease?"
"It's just a brain problem."
Bai Yueling's eyebrows furrowed, her fingertips sparked with electric flow, and she pointed at him. Then Jiang Qiao slumped to the ground and jerked erratically, as if his entire body had been shocked.
It took him more than ten seconds to recover, giving an annoyed look at Fairy Bai who looked indifferent.
"Didn't you promise me just now that you wouldn't do anything dangerous?"
"Who told you to slander me! Emperor's are not to be humiliated. This is a lesson for you."
"From the perspective of modern people, it was just a joke."
"Is there anything else worth noting?"
Jiang Qiao carefully looked at her from head to feet, her broad shoulders, child-bearing hips, a long graceful neck, and the quality of her smooth white jade skin.
"What are you staring at?!."
Being stared at by this mortal, Bai Yueling felt a little uncomfortable all over her body, soon electric sparks appeared from her fingertips and Jiang Qiao quickly retracted his gaze.
"Uhm, you are too conspicuous."
It would be very easy to change her name, but this figure, this face, this dress, this temperament, as long as she stays silent and stands in a crowd of people, she'll be the focus of attention.
"On the way to cultivating immortality, it is necessary to conform to the way of heaven. Originally... If I still have my cultivation, there will be dragons and phoenixes and ming, ten thousand emperors will come to the court, the sky will rain, and lotus will grow step by step, just like the emperor of heaven going on a tour." Bai Yueling faintly glanced at him.
Jiang Qiao secretly clicked his tongue, this is much more stylish than the presidential motorcade.
Since her temperament cannot be changed, it can only start from her dress.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you to buy clothes. You should wear a less Hanfu that highlights your temperament. Wearing this kind of thing is an instant kill to any man."
"Clothes like yours?" Bai Yueling raised her eyebrows.
"Almost, but there are also women who wear this type of stuff, furthermore, compared with the clothes you are wearing, it is more convenient and comfortable."
What kind of service has so many requirements, since Fairy Bai decided to cultivate the heart of the world, then it is also necessary to follow the customs.
"Is there anything else?"
"The biggest problem is of course identity, but as long as you don't do anything against the law, or don't appear in front of many people to cause serious concern, the police won't either."
As for some occasions where an ID card is required, it is not available for the time being.
"Is there any way I can get to know your world as quickly as possible? For example, jade slips, scriptures." Bai Yueling looked around, there was not much furniture in the room, and she couldn't find anything familiar to her.
"You mean, books?"
"Well, I want to see one, do you have it?."
Jiang Qiao scratched his head, he's not exactly a book lover, otherwise he wouldn't open a small shop on Fairy Peak to eat and drink.
His family kept asking him to take the civil service exam, saying that he would have an advanced job with high salary, good benefits, and if he wanted a daughter-in-law in the future, when others heard that he was a member of the government order, it would be assure that even the betrothal gift would be waived.
"Yes, I'll go get it for you, but can you read our words?"
Bai Yueling remembered the square words she saw in the Fairy Stone before, shook her head lightly and said indifferently: "The way of the world, the same goal is achieved by different paths, one will know the other, and one will infer the other, and it will not take long to learn another language."
Jiang Qiao slapped his face, is this a scholar who has unlocked the treasure of the human body?
However, he also wanted to know, if the immortal understood the essence of the world, it was not the earth, fire, water, wind, but the expressions of atoms, electrons, protons, quarks, etc.
He went inside one of the rooms inside his house and after a while he took out a brand-new "Rules of the Civil Exam" and handed it to Bai Yueling, although he was about to take the national exam, he hadn't read it yet.
Bai Yueling took the book and touched the glossy cover with her fingers.
The mortals in this world are ingenious, and even simple books can be done so beautifully.
She turned to the first page.
Material 1:
Xiao Zhao is a provincial cadre stationed in the village. In 2015, he went to the depths of the mountains to serve as the first guard in the village. The following is the story of his "poverty alleviation"...
Although Bai Yueling couldn't read the text, she could understand the general meaning of it. The lesson is trying to convey is that everything has a way, and the way of writing is one of them. For cultivators, a single word is much simpler than a complex rune.
Jiang Qiao took a close look at Fairy Bai who was holding a book and reading. The application materials contained thousands of words. Even modern people would have a headache when they read them. How could she still read without knowing the words?
Could it be that this is the so-called transcendent sanctification, born to know it at will?
Having been exposed to this knowledge from the very beginning, I wonder if it will plant patriotism in her heart.
"Improve public facilities, harden roads, build drainage ditches, add trash cans, improve sanitation, renovate houses, beautify the environment..."
"Mhm, is this the concept of governance of the people in power today? If you treat the people like this, why worry about the country? Or, is it being strong?."
Jiang Qiao listened to Fairy Bai muttering to herself, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he saw a fairy who is in the government system for the country and the people, and has a heart for the world.
He shook his head vigorously, throwing all the messy thoughts out of his mind.
Then he glanced at the time, went to another room, cleaned up the clutter that was piled up everywhere, and wiped the inside and outside of the folding bed with a towel.
