The winds and clouds of the world come from my generation. Once I enter the pugilistic world, time will destroy me.
Imperial hegemony amidst chatter and laughter, not better than a drunken night tonight!
That poem was touted by the entire website. It had no choice but to do so. After all, there was only one person in online literature who could write a poem!
It was inevitable that the publicity would be exaggerated. Unwittingly, the title of literary genius was attached to Ye Lingchen.
Below, there were already countless comments.
[Supporting Celestial Bane. I love Celestial Bane!]
[I see so much money. The author is rich!]
[F * ck! Did I really live to see the legendary book become a god? Is the author really a noob?]
[So much money. Won't the author consider donating some to charity?]
The comments came from all kinds of readers. However, Yuewen's publicity was not limited to its own website. The column also appeared on other websites, even literary forums.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
The internet itself was labeled as vulgar. Those forums immediately attacked it. Of course, it was mostly due to jealousy.
[F * ck! This world is crazy. Can writing trash earn so much money?]
[No one reads my painstakingly written work for free. Some idiots are spending money to read such vulgar stuff. This world is deformed. It's hopeless!]
[Strongly requesting to be banned! This is not worthy of being called literature. This is an insult to literature. It must be banned!]
[This is ill-gotten wealth! Requesting to donate it. This kind of person is committing a crime!]
[Literary genius? Pfft! This kind of person is vulgar! Unbearably vulgar!]
[He dared to brag like that after writing two lousy poems. Wouldn't he go to heaven if he wrote a few more?]
[It's just a limerick. Moreover, the tone is arrogant and insufferably arrogant. Trash!]
[I strongly recommend to ban this author. It's best to ban the website as well. This is an insult to literature. It's poison!]
…
Ye Lingchen looked at the comments one by one. He could not help but shake his head and leave.
Since ancient times, scholars had always looked down on each other.
Moreover, online literature had always been the target of contempt. Traditional literature was already an eyesore to begin with. At that moment, when they saw how profitable online literature was, it was only natural for them to be envious. That was not unusual.
In addition, many people did not read traditional literature. Even food and clothing were a problem. These were two extremes. It was normal to be hated by others.
'However, these people don't know how to look for reasons from themselves. They even think they're awesome and criticize Celestial Bane without even watching it. It's really disappointing.'
It didn't matter what kind of work it was. Only when it was recognized by the public could it be considered a good work. Being self-righteous wasn't good at all.
Ye Lingchen was not in the mood to argue with them, nor did he have the time. He started writing.
By the time he was done with 10,000 words, the sky had turned dark. After uploading, Ye Lingchen stretched his back and walked downstairs.
Just as he walked downstairs, he frowned slightly. Miyako was already comfortably lying on the sofa watching TV, while clanking sounds could be heard coming from the kitchen. Zhang Yunxi was cooking.
"Lingchen, you're here. Dinner will be ready soon," Zhang Yunxi said from the kitchen.
"Alright." Ye Lingchen nodded, then stared at Miyako with an unfriendly gaze. "Who allowed you to lie on the sofa?"
A trace of fear flashed in Miyako's eyes, but she still harrumphed. "I've already cleaned the room. What else do you want me to do?"
"How can a maid rest while the master is working? You're really enjoying yourself here, aren't you? " Ye Lingchen looked at Miyako. "In the future, be more diligent. When the master is doing something, you have to help. Search online on how to become a qualified maid, or you'll be punished according to the family rules!"
"Maid?"
Zhang Yunxi walked out of the kitchen with the dishes. She looked at Ye Lingchen in surprise, then at Miyako who was dressed in a maid costume.
She initially thought that Miyako was Ye Lingchen's girlfriend and that the two of them were playing spy. She felt a little disappointed.
'Who would have thought that such a beautiful girl is really a maid?'
"Yunxi, Miyako is the nanny I hired. Let her do all the dirty work in the future. Don't stand on ceremony with her," Ye Lingchen said.
"Isn't that a little inappropriate?" Zhang Yunxi was a little embarrassed.
"Yunxi, don't stand on ceremony. I risked my life to win this." Ye Lingchen immediately told her about the bet between him and Miyako with some embellishments. He left out some sensitive parts and focused on the agreement he made with Miyako.
"Who knows how many families have been ruined by her. I keep her by my side to prevent her from harming others again. Furthermore, if I didn't win by luck, I'd be her slave right now. Who knows, I might be scrubbing the toilet by now!"
Ye Lingchen said it in such a serious manner that even Zhang Yunxi felt a chill down her spine.
With that said, the way Zhang Yunxi looked at Miyako changed. The sympathy she had for her gradually dissipated.
Everything else aside, she almost made Ye Lingchen a slave. She could not imagine the consequences.
"You, come here." Ye Lingchen waved at Miyako.
Miyako gritted her teeth and glared at Ye Lingchen. She then walked over unwillingly.
"When we eat from now on, you'll stand by the side and be in charge of getting food for us," Ye Lingchen said softly like a master.
"Are you kidding me?" Miyako was stunned, then glared at Ye Lingchen with an unfriendly gaze. "A gentleman prefers death to humiliation. Don't even think about it!"
"Hehe, that's what you said during the day." Ye Lingchen raised his hand and looked at Miyako mockingly, causing her to blush.
"You!" Miyako's body trembled in anger. She hated and feared Ye Lingchen at the same time.
At that moment, she really wished that she could turn back time. If she was given another chance, she would never agree to the bet with Ye Lingchen no matter what.
"Don't get too worked up." Ye Lingchen was calm, then smiled faintly. "When you perform well, I'll consider raising your status. Who knows, I might even give you your freedom."
"Are you serious?" Miyako's beautiful eyes stared at Ye Lingchen.
"Absolutely!" Ye Lingchen nodded solemnly.
"Good!" Miyako took a deep breath, then paused for a moment before continuing, "I can satisfy your needs in terms of living, but don't you dare have any excessive thoughts. I'd rather die than comply!"
"I can guarantee that. Based on your looks, it's not enough for me to have any thoughts," Ye Lingchen said.
Miyako snorted, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and stood by the side. She asked coldly, "What do you want to eat?"
"Get me a bowl of rice first," Ye Lingchen said. Although Miyako's attitude was not good, such matters could not be rushed. It was better to take things step by step and nurture her slowly.
Miyako brought the rice to Ye Lingchen with a blank expression.
Ye Lingchen nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "Very good. Get me another bowl of soup."
