Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 990 - 57: Being a Dragon Maiden Isn’t So Easy

Eating melons only to find yourself involved is not something to be happy about.

The next day at school, Wang Yunxiao explained the whole story to Li Mumu.

Of course, it was still through passing notes.

Living life over again, if you only use class time for classes, it will be meaningless.

After all, you’re not a top student; even if you try, you can’t rank first in the whole school.

"The old man thinks I can be promoted to Dragon Maiden?"

"Is it difficult?"

"It’s more than difficult. What if I said you seem to have a good business mind and should work in finance—would you do it?"

"I couldn’t do it."

If it looks feasible, then why put in effort?

Li Mumu patiently explained to Wang Yunxiao: "People in this era still view information about the Dragon Maiden with a feudal superstitious filter. They summarize objective laws and treat them as rigid conditions. For example, Dragon Maidens must appear in pairs, must be knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and must be blessed by the Dragon Vein to cultivate a Vajra Body..."

"And in reality?"

"In reality, it’s not so complicated. Although I don’t remember, it’s a completely different matter."

"You don’t remember, yet you call it a different matter."

"Because I’ve experienced it firsthand."

With her patchy memory, Li Mumu educated Wang Yunxiao.

"First of all, the conclusion that Dragon Maidens must appear during times of dynastic change is wrong; it’s a reversed cause and effect. In reality, there are many talented females who do not show their potential in stable times. Only in chaotic times, when etiquette collapses, can they break free from feudal shackles and stand out with their own strength."

"Secondly, the notion that they appear in pairs is also wrong. In so-called historical eras of dual Dragon Maidens, the two didn’t necessarily emerge simultaneously. For example, in our era, Mu Yanling and Lin Canglan are not strictly from the same generation."

There are so many Dragon Maidens in Daylily Academy that they could be sold in bulk.

"Dragon Maidens were especially active around certain periods because at that time, one Dragon Maiden would eventually grow up and ascend. When she connected with the Dragon Court, its power would, in turn, project into the Real World, giving rise to more Dragon Maidens."

"It’s like the principle of fertilizing the land by planting soybeans."

"Then there’s the boundary between reserve Dragon Maiden and metamorphosis-period Dragon Maiden—it’s not that easy to break through. It’s not just a matter of transfusing some blood or eating an Immortal Pill."

If it were that simple, how could she have not broken through until graduation with her capabilities?

"I don’t remember the specific conditions for breaking through, but it can be roughly summarized in three words—legendary status!"

"The essence of the Dragon Maiden is a collector of civilization, the material to build the Dragon Court. In spring, you plant a Dragon Maiden; in autumn, you harvest a segment of civilization’s essence."

"If you haven’t left a sufficiently brilliant mark in history, then you’re not qualified as a crop and will be preemptively culled."

"Look at the President, then look at me."

"Now you know why I say I have no chance, right?"

Understood.

With such a straightforward analogy, Wang Yunxiao grasped the concept immediately.

The essence of a Dragon Maiden is a collector of civilization—crude words but accurate reasoning.

Among the renowned women who left marks in history, people love to discuss whether Buddha Master renovated the garden, how many sons Lady Zhao killed, and whether General Fu Hao went on distant expeditions.

Who is Dugu Jialuo, you ask? The one who shot arrows really far?

And who is Xie Daoyun? Is she a woman?

There are many outstanding women, but those who grow to become universally recognized by name or even leave idiomatic expressions are rare—that’s what modern people call memes.

Li Mumu?

Not that Wang Yunxiao has any issue with Li Mumu, but given his understanding of her... this woman simply doesn’t have such ambitious goals or any drive to change the world drastically.

He’s willing to believe Eldest Miss Li spends money freely to buy out the venue, or plays tricks in a comical disguise.

But the idea of her becoming as revered and accomplished as the President, mastering and ruling over a realm, ensuring peace under her governance, leaving historic traces... Wang Yunxiao could not conceive what that would look like.

Granted, she is young now.

But she’s just a young lady; her dad is a real estate developer.

What level could she reach in twenty more years?

The most likely outcome would be her evolving from a young lady into a wealthy matron.

......

"Worrywart!"

On the night of March 15th, in the Thousand-Year Dynasty World, West Spring Mountain.

Chu Jiang opened her eyes and spat out a Demon Core from her belly, shimmering with a faint glow.

She gazed thoughtfully at her Demon Core, which contained the power of a Dragon Crystal.

According to later verifications, the ancestral land of the Worrywarts was indeed struck by a meteor from outer space, and it was hit twice.

Focusing her mind, she directed her gaze outside the temple where she was.

Since February 15th, in just one month, five more military camps had appeared in the mountain.

In the Real World, times were peaceful without any waves, and no one was aware that in the Outer Dimension, undercurrents were already stirring.

Since the start of the year, the Qilin Army had been gradually dispatching troops to the Thousand-Year Dynasty World, now amassing over 6,000 soldiers.

The Outer Dimension’s harsh environment made it difficult for ordinary people to survive long-term. Only in the area around West Spring Mountain, under the influence of Mountain God Chu Jiang, did the environment gradually align with the Real World, even developing a basic ecological cycle.

With the appearance of water veins, the soil began to loosen, and large tracts of farmland were cultivated.

Local mountain folk, if not closely examined, were almost indistinguishable from ordinary people in the Real World. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The main reason for the Qilin Army’s military buildup was not to target her, the diligent and hard-working Mountain God, but to primarily guard against the Demon World emerging on the outskirts of the Imperial City.

At the end of last year, a Demon World mysteriously connected to the Thousand-Year Dynasty World, flooding it with numerous demons. Although these vanguard forces were quickly wiped out, along with the destruction of the passage, the barrier between the two dimensions remained fragile, susceptible to the Demon World’s encroachment.

Nowadays, the Imperial City has almost been overtaken by those demons.

Or more precisely, it is the collapse and despair of those harboring old dreams within the Imperial City that have attracted these demons.

When the Government of the Ming Country entered its third year, full of vigor and prosperity, they suddenly realized...

There would be no going back.

The dream of continuing the world of the Thousand-Year Dynasty could no longer be sustained.

"I wish to meet the Mountain God!"

While Chu Jiang was deep in thought, a young and familiar voice startled her.

She withdrew her gaze, finding a small figure standing at the temple gate, hands clasped behind their back in a masterly posture.

After waiting a moment and seeing no movement inside the temple, the figure shouted again loudly.

"Wang Ying, requesting an audience with the Mountain God!"
