5: Chapter 005: The Story Begins

"You're really not writing? Then what will you live on?"

Last night, Ye Mo had clearly told Lu Baijun that he would never write novels again.

At the time, seeing that Ye Mo had just returned, Lu Baijun didn't press him too hard.

"You don't really think I went off to beg for food for the last ten months, do you? To tell you the truth, I went to a Mining Site during this time. Now, I won't have to worry about food or drink for the rest of my life."

Ye Mo said half-jokingly.

"Pfft, you're trying to fool ghosts. How about this: as long as you continue updating, I'll immediately give you ten 'Great God' certifications."

Lu Baijun naturally didn't believe Ye Mo's nonsense.

However, seeing that Ye Mo really seemed to intend on not updating anymore, she felt a bit anxious.

"Why would I lie to you? Lu Baijun, I know very well how my novels are written. You keep giving me tips from time to time—tell me the truth, do you have feelings for me?"

Ye Mo smiled slightly and teased.

Previously, Ye Mo was just a poor kid, and naturally, he dared not have any inappropriate thoughts about Lu Baijun, this little rich girl.

But now, just considering her Blue Spirit Root, Ye Mo was determined to make her the mother of his children.

However, because Lu Baijun had the Taiyin Body.

It would be best to have Lu Baijun Cultivate and then reach a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment first.

Only after reaching Foundation Establishment would Lu Baijun's Taiyin Body stabilize. When the time came for Dual Cultivation, Ye Mo's speed of Cultivation would also greatly accelerate.

"You're dreaming! Do you know how many people want to chase after me? They could circle Yong City several times! So many wealthy young masters have worn down my doorstep, and I haven't even glanced at them."

Lu Baijun's eyes were a bit evasive at first, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Is that so? Then what are you hiding behind your back? Don't tell me the breakfast you brought isn't for me?"

Ye Mo leaned to the side and took the breakfast Lu Baijun was hiding behind her back.

"You saw that..."

"Is that hard? Which time have you come without bringing something?"

"Fine. Since you found out, do you want to eat it? If you do, update two chapters. If you don't, I'm throwing it in the trash."

After saying this, Lu Baijun pretended to try and snatch the breakfast back.

"Lu Baijun, do you want to know what I did during these ten months?"

Ye Mo didn't answer.

Since he wanted to get Lu Baijun to Cultivate, he naturally needed to come up with a good excuse.

"I don't. I just want you to update two chapters today."

"You have to want to. If you don't, how am I supposed to spin this story for you? Speak... I'll give you one more chance. Say you want to."

Ye Mo was speechless. Why wouldn't this little rich girl take the bait?

"Childish. Fine, fine, I really want to know."

Lu Baijun wore a perfunctory expression.

"Heh, then come in and I'll tell you..."

Ye Mo pulled Lu Baijun into the room and locked the door. Then, with a solemn expression, he said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, but you must never tell anyone else about this!"

Ye Mo lowered his voice, acting as if it were a serious matter.

"Hurry up and tell me. How did you manage to make the room such a mess after staying here for only one night?"

Lu Baijun didn't seem to care at all where Ye Mo had gone for the last ten months.

She walked over to a chair, saw it piled high with messy clothes, and naturally began folding them one by one, then placed them into the wardrobe.

Watching Lu Baijun's busy figure, a trace of emotion stirred in Ye Mo's heart.

In the past, Lu Baijun had often helped him clean his room.

But to be honest, Ye Mo had been afraid of being poor since he was a child.

He had been very insecure since he was young and simply dared not think in that direction.

"You know that I easily get writer's block when writing novels. Every time I get stuck, I go for a walk nearby to think about the plot. Ten months ago, I remember it was almost 11 PM, and I was walking alone on the main road..."

"There were no pedestrians on the road at the time. Suddenly, an old man wearing Daoist robes with an immortal air appeared before me. That old man looked at me kindly and said that I was a once-in-ten-thousand-years Cultivation Genius and wanted to teach me the methods of Cultivation..."

Ye Mo said, thinking as he spoke.

"You actually believed that???"

"Of course I didn't believe it; I couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to him. But what I didn't expect was that just as I wanted to leave, my body wouldn't listen to me. Then I discovered that my body and that old man were slowly rising into the air, and then we flew towards the direction of the East Sea..."

"I was taken by that old man to a small island. The old man said that as long as I achieved success in my Cultivation, he would naturally let me leave."

"I had no choice but to Cultivate with all my might. And I really am a Genius; it only took me ten months to become a Cultivator..."

After Ye Mo finished speaking, he watched Lu Baijun's expression intently.

However, there was no change on Lu Baijun's face.

"That's it???" Lu Baijun finished tidying the clothes, sat down in front of Ye Mo, and opened the bag containing the breakfast. "Century egg and lean meat congee, your favorite. Eat it while it's hot; it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Yeah, once I achieved success, I rushed back."

Ye Mo picked up the spoon and took a bite.

The taste was alright, but when Ye Mo was at the Mining Site, he had once luxuriously drunk some Spiritual Rice porridge.

That taste was something this century egg and lean meat congee couldn't compare to.

"The story you're spinning isn't very good. It was supposed to be an urban romance; how did it turn into Cultivation?"

Lu Baijun naturally didn't believe what Ye Mo said, simply regarding it as the upcoming plot of Ye Mo's novel.

Ye Mo didn't mind.

Lu Baijun wasn't some naive girl; she naturally wouldn't believe such an absurd thing immediately.

So he had to use some methods to prove it.

"I know you don't believe me. Well, sit tight. I'll show you the Spell I've been learning these days."

Ye Mo stood up and found a relatively empty spot.

He took a deep breath, and then the Spiritual Qi in his body began to circulate slowly.

What Ye Mo was about to cast was the Fireball Technique.

He had already mastered the basics of the Fireball Technique.

It was also the only offensive Spell he knew.

However, because he had just mastered it, it wasn't guaranteed to succeed every time he cast it.

This time, because he was casting it in front of Lu Baijun, he felt inexplicably nervous.

This caused him to not even produce a spark after several seconds.

"Don't rush. I just learned it, so I'm still a bit rusty."

Ye Mo smiled awkwardly, then began circulating his Spiritual Qi again.

However, Luck was not on his side; he failed again.

Ye Mo refused to accept defeat and directly accelerated the speed of his Spiritual Qi circulation.

Three seconds later, a flicker of firelight suddenly appeared in Ye Mo's palm, and it was slowly condensing.

"It's coming, it's coming..."

Ye Mo laughed happily.

Then he immediately looked at Lu Baijun.

At this moment, Lu Baijun was holding a deep-fried dough stick, completely lacking any goddess-like image, and took a bite.

She didn't seem to have noticed the anomaly in Ye Mo's palm.

Hearing Ye Mo's voice, she had intended to observe carefully, but just then, her phone ringtone suddenly rang.

Seeing the incoming call on her phone, Lu Baijun immediately shushed Ye Mo and then pressed answer.

"Where the hell did you go?"

"I'm at the apartment; someone wants to rent a place."

"Then is it rented out yet?"

"Almost."

"Hurry up and get it done. Young Master Li has already arrived at our house..."

"Got it..."

...

The caller was none other than Lu Baijun's mother. After hanging up, Lu Baijun looked at Ye Mo with a bitter expression: "Someone has come to our house; I have to go back."
