Episode 1

Chapter 1: Studying (Part 1)

It is said that thousands of miles away from the ocean, where the sea and the sky meet, there is a vast, mysterious and unknown continent called Zhongzhou. There the world was just created, yin and yang had not yet been separated, and humans, ghosts, dragons, and beasts lived together in peace. The humans living in the central part of the continent first established a monarchy kingdom named "Holy Dragon". Because of its pleasant climate and fertile land, immigrants from all over the world came to settle here. With the joint efforts of multiple ethnic groups, a prosperous and powerful country was created. Here people live and work in peace and contentment, bureaucrats perform their duties impartially, and academic and cultural development flourishes. This is a peaceful and prosperous era rarely seen in a thousand years.

One day in early summer during the one hundred and twentieth year of the Holy Dragon Kingdom's rule, two young lechers appeared in the municipal square of the eastern trading city and commented on the newly completed statue of the queen.

"Brother Xinran, there seems to be something wrong with this statue!"

"Why, Brother Mingyuan is not satisfied?"

"No, no, I mean... Your Majesty's breasts, aren't they a little too... too plump?" As he spoke, the short and fat young man named Mingyuan gestured at his chest, "My cousin is only sixteen years old, her breasts can't be that big."

"As for girls, of course the fuller the breasts, the better. I like them anyway - maybe Brother Mingyuan doesn't like them?" The young man named Xinran asked back.

"I like your statue very much, but my cousin - I mean her Majesty - may not like it."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we like it," Xinran comforted him with a smile, "Your cousin is far away in the Holy City, and she may not come to Goode once in her life. Even if she really sees this statue after ten or eight years, she will be a mature woman by then, and her breasts will be almost as developed as this."

The two people who were discussing the queen's breasts in public were both well-known figures in the trading city.

The short and fat boy is called Long Mingyuan, the cousin of the current queen. At the age of 20, he was appointed the governor of the richest city in the country. He can be said to have achieved success at a young age. Although he is the lord of a city, in front of his good friend Su Xinran, Long Mingyuan seems like a follower.

People who meet Su Xinran for the first time are often mesmerized by his handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, and may even be unable to tell whether he is a man or a woman.

Especially at this moment, when he folded his arms and looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, his white jade face was more perfect than a statue carved from gemstones, his black hair was not deliberately combed, but was free and untidy, and when the wind blew up his bangs, his beautiful forehead was as shiny as a mirror.

His smart eyes also radiate charm and mystery as the sunlight flows, making people involuntarily guess his thoughts, accompanied by a hint of sadness.

However, this close-up did not last long. Su Xinran was a hybrid of human and vampire. Although he could live in the daytime, he could not endure the scorching sun for a long time.

"Brother Mingyuan, let's sit down and enjoy the cool air! I'm about to faint..." He lowered his head, walked lazily into the shade of the tree, sat on the ground, grabbed a stone and drew something on the ground absentmindedly. When he was in a trance, his expression looked more like a sweet little girl. His bright white clothes hidden among the green trees made him look even more ethereal.

Who would have thought that such a beautiful and elegant person, like a fairy, would be a ridiculous ghost known as the "nightmare of the trading city"? If anyone doesn't believe it, just go and ask around on the streets. It would take three days and three nights to tell the story of the evil deeds of the young master of the Su family.

Su Xinran’s evil is not the kind that bullies men and women. What makes him scary is his endless pranks and his fearless personality. He is more like a funny and unruly boy rather than a complaining villain.

Before Su Xinran was born, his parents were already famous.

The ancestors of the Su family were not natives of Central China. As early as the end of the Flood Century, they immigrated here from the Silk Country thousands of miles across the ocean. They started their business by operating real estate, and for a hundred years have been the most wealthy family in the eastern part of the empire. There are many immigrant families like this in Central China. Among them, immigrants from the Silk Country alone account for a quarter of the country's total population.

Su Xinran's father, Su Jiusi, graduated from the Holy Kingdom's top institution, Shenglong College, when he was young, and obtained three degrees in diplomacy, military affairs, and finance. He was known as a genius rarely seen in a thousand years and a leader among young talents. After completing his studies, Su Jiusi took over his father's household chores. While maintaining his ancestral business, he also engaged in the arms business, making a fortune from the war and becoming one of the richest men in the Holy Kingdom.

Su Jiusi entered the officialdom through business, and served successively as a diplomat of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, Minister of Finance, President of the National Holy Dragon College, and Governor of a trading city. At the age of fifty, he resigned and returned home to enjoy his retirement. Long Mingyuan, who had recently taken over the post of governor, was his student at the Holy Dragon Academy. Although he was a royal relative, he did not dare to raise his head or speak in front of his teacher. It is precisely because of this relationship that Long Mingyuan and Su Xinran have been calling each other brothers since childhood.

Su Xinran's mother is even more famous. She is the last princess of the royal family of the vampire kingdom of Gusalan in the Eastern Dark Continent. Eighteen years ago, King Gusalan died suddenly, and the royal family fell apart. Many powerful earls and dukes proclaimed themselves kings, claiming to be Gusalan's successors. Su Xinran's mother, as the most legitimate heir, naturally possesses the most powerful power.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom sent an invasion force under the pretext of a dispute over the succession rights of the Gusalan royal family, but was met with strong resistance from the vampire tribe. Humans were far less powerful than vampires, and the war went very badly due to the hasty dispatch of troops. Not only did they fail to gain any advantage, but many towns in the north were seized by vampires and turned into Gusalan territory. It was only because they were intimidated by the might of the kingdom's patron saint, "Holy Dragon Othello," that they dared not continue their invasion.

The failure on the battlefield forced the Holy Kingdom to seek progress through diplomacy, so it sent the then-diplomat Su Jiusi to the Gusalan royal family. In name, the mission was to support the last princess Cecilia Gusalan in unifying the country, but in fact it was to wait and see whether this heroine could achieve anything.

Cecilia was indeed an amateur in politics. She didn't talk about state affairs seriously and even started a love affair with a diplomat. Later, she resolutely gave up her royal inheritance rights and married Su Jiusi. Regardless of their original intentions, their union undoubtedly brought great benefits to the Holy Kingdom politically. As the princess's dowry, the ancient Kingdom of Saran became a province of the Holy Kingdom. Although opposition forces still exist, at least the main concern on the eastern border has been resolved in name only.

After her marriage, Cecilia did not return to her country with her husband, but stayed in her homeland as the first governor of the ancient Saran province. She only comes to the Su family mansion in the commercial city every winter to spend a few months of wonderful time with her husband. The couple lives apart, on the one hand because vampires cannot leave the Dark Continent and live in the sun, and on the other hand, it also hints at Su Jiusi's clever arrangement. As long as his beloved wife remains in power in the Gusalan Province, the Su family's position in the Holy Kingdom will not be shaken. As for women, Su Jiusi already has a wife and three concubines at home. When he misses his new love, he has his old love by his side, so he doesn't feel very lonely.

Cecilia was also happy to obey her husband's arrangement. She was feeling guilty at the time and did not dare to meet her husband. She only felt relieved when her son was born.

It turns out that Su Xinran was not born to Cecilia and Su Jiusi. As for who his biological father is, even his mother probably can't tell. Vampires have never cared much about relationships between men and women. Cecilia had relationships with countless men before her marriage. Who knows who fathered Su Xinran? It was not until she found out she was pregnant that she chose the most pleasing Su Jiusi from among all the men and married him.

The romantic history of female vampires ends with childbirth. Since Cecilia gave birth to her baby son, she has been a complete good wife and mother. But she used all her brain cells and couldn't figure out who the child's biological father was.

Xinran looks three parts like her vampire mother, three parts like her human father, and three parts like a fairy. But upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem like anyone. Cecilia once secretly told her son that if calculated according to the time of pregnancy, she was in mourning for her father who died suddenly during the days when she was pregnant. She did not dare and did not have the opportunity to have any casual relationships, so how could she have become pregnant? I just can't understand it. If there was any sign, it was just a strange dream. One night she dreamed of a giant black dragon with flames burning all over its body, rushing into her arms. Not long after that, she found out that she was pregnant. In this case, Xinran should be the product of a dream. Not being able to find your biological father is certainly unfortunate, but it is now called a "nightmare" and it is worthy of the name.

Due to the influence of her mother in her childhood, Xinran has some weirdness in her character and often acts unpredictably. He was bold, reckless and ruthless at a young age, but his bad habits of being a playboy and a lecherous man could be blamed on his father.

After she turned ten, Xinran was sent back to the Holy Dragon Kingdom to be raised as agreed by her parents. Of course his mother was reluctant to let him go, but his father had a better reason - he wanted him to receive a more complete and civilized education. The golden age of vampires has long ended, and those elegant and stylish earls and ladies can only show off in gloomy castles. Vampires almost never produce offspring, so there is no such thing as a school.

The parents' idea was good, but it came too late. Xinran has lived in the gloomy castle for ten years, and her heart has long become wild. It's not that he doesn't have curiosity and thirst for knowledge, but this is limited to the areas that interest him. He would rather look for a secret recipe for witchcraft in a pile of ancient books than sit in the classroom and read from the textbook. As a result, my father's educational plan was forced to abort again and again.

Initially, Su Jiusi wanted to train his son to be a financial talent and take over his business in the future. But Xinran was not interested at all. He was not interested in politics because of the child's instinct to dislike complicated interests. As for his lack of interest in business, it was because the young master had never lacked money since he was a child and did not feel the importance of making money at all. He certainly likes making money, but he likes spending it even more. Earning and spending equals to having nothing in his hands. What's the point of learning this?

When his son is a little older and more sensible, Mr. Su also wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, telling him about the Su family's status in the business world and its glorious history of success, so that the child can have a sense of family pride and inspire his ambition. Besides, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be in a commercial city but not know how to do business?

But Xinran said, "What's the point of learning how to make money? Dad, the money you make is enough for me to spend for the rest of my life."

"My money is earned by me, not yours!"

"When you die, half will be given to my sister, and the rest will be all mine. Dad, instead of worrying about my future poverty, it would be better for you to die earlier, so that I can spend money freely earlier."

...One can imagine how Mr. Su felt when he was cursed to die early after educating his son.

Chapter 1: Study Notes (Part 2)

After failing in his first attempt to educate his son, Mr. Su changed his mind and decided to give up politics and business and let his son study religion and history. The Su family is powerful, but has few supporters in the religious community. If Xinran is willing to study theology and history diligently, with the support of the Su family, it will be no problem for him to become an archbishop in the future.

Mr. Su had a lot of plans, but his son was not up to the task. The first day I took him to the city church to meet the priest, something ridiculous happened. When the priest heard that Mr. Su intended to send his son to study in the church, he immediately expressed his welcome. Looking at the child again, he is so handsome, as if he is made of fine jade, with a sweet mouth, and he speaks in a very pleasant way. I already like him 70% in my heart. I said to him, "Mr. Su, you are interested in studying the holy scriptures, which is a good thing, but you must take history courses, otherwise you will not be able to understand the scriptures."

Su Xinran thought the priest looked down on her, and said unhappily, "History, I'm very familiar with it."

The priest smiled and said, "Then tell me the history of the founding of the Holy Dragon Kingdom."

"This is common sense that everyone knows. It won't bother me," she said happily, raising her little face. "In the beginning of time, the creator god Kuso created the world in the void, filling the universe with chaotic air. The clear air rose to become the sky, and the turbid air fell to become the earth."

Speaking of this, Father Su nodded frequently with a smile on his face. But then, the kid couldn't help but talk nonsense.

"The great god Kuso moved above the chaos and shouted, 'Let there be light', and there was light in the world. He shouted, 'Let there be water', and there was water in the world. The great god was delighted to see the prey, and he shouted many times for this and that. The difference between him and the beggar was that when the god shouted, no one rolled their eyes at him, so our world had light and darkness, and the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth.

"Initially, the element of fire dominated, and the earth was covered with boil-like volcanoes, which kept spewing out magma and poisonous steam, roasting the new world red and hot, like a hot pot, so that era was called the 'Fire Age'.

"In this abnormal environment, only plants and animals that can withstand high temperatures can survive. The most powerful among them are the Fire Demons. They are giants living in flames, drinking magma, eating the fruits of the Spark Tree, fire lizards, fire bears, and fire demons, using fire dwarves and fire elves as slaves, and using diamonds to build many magnificent palaces in the belly of the volcano, leading a life of extravagance and luxury. The Great God loves the Fire Demons and grants them a long life of a thousand years.

"It was to their own good that the Flame Demons' good fortunes did not last long. The Age of Fire lasted only 10,000 years. Then the earth's crust shifted, the land was submerged by floods, and most of the volcanoes that were once spread all over the world sank to the bottom of the sea. The Flame Demons suffered a devastating disaster, and like a burning coal dropped into a bucket, they died with a sizzle-sizzle-spiking white smoke. These once invincible giants left behind only their bodies that turned into rocks after being cooled by the sea water for their descendants. Their only use was to be placed in front of mansions to scare the poor.

"The Age of Fire was replaced by the Age of Flood. The rulers of the Age of Flood were the sea giants. They had human bodies and fish limbs, and were not as strong as the Balrogs, but more beautiful and intelligent. The Creator God loved the sea giants more and gave them a lifespan of 2,000 years.

"Over the long years, the ocean giants developed an outstanding civilization. They cultivated pastures on the seabed, planted deep-water plants, and raised sea cows that produced sweet milk. They also built rich and prosperous cities on the seabed with all kinds of urban facilities. There were eight streets of mermaid brothels alone. The spire of the palace of an ocean emperor rose from the seabed and pierced the sky, proudly invading the territory of the gods.

"The intelligence and power of the ocean giants not only brought them wealth, but also sowed the seeds of corruption. They became increasingly arrogant, despised the gods living in the sky, and instead worshipped the Arctic Demon Mother Bella as an idol. When the great god learned of this, he sent angels to warn the heretics, but the ocean giants did not repent and continued to do as they pleased.

"So the angel army went to the sea and started a life-and-death war with the sea giants led by the Arctic Demon Mother. The war lasted for a thousand years. Finally, the great god Kuso once again established his supreme authority. The sea giants were expelled to the distant and cold Arctic sea. The great god Kuso cursed them to never see the sun and their souls to be unable to drink water in hell.

"The rebellion of the sea giants made the great god Kuso wary. He ordered the sun to hang in the sky for a thousand years, drying up the sea and revealing the earth. The largest piece of land was located in the middle of the ocean, in the shape of a cross, named Zhongzhou, which was the place where humans, the masters of the world, lived.

"After the destruction of the Fire Age and the Flood Age, the great god Kuso felt that the power of the creatures on the ground was becoming increasingly difficult to control, so he chose the weaker humans as the spokespersons for the creatures on the ground, making them the masters of the Third Age - the Earth Age. The great god Kuso learned the lesson of the sea giants and gave humans a lifespan of less than a hundred years, and they were threatened by diseases.

"In the Mud Age, the four elements were evenly distributed, with no one element having an absolute advantage. The elemental magic that once filled the heaven and earth disappeared, and only a small amount remained in the rare magic crystals. Magic crystals are not easy to mine, and humans cannot use elemental magic to transform nature like the Flame Demons and the Ocean Giants, so they can only survive by planting and fishing.

"In this new land, the power of the Flame Demons and the Sea Giants was not completely replaced. Their descendants survived in the form of human subspecies and magical beasts, and gradually adapted to life on land. The cruel and powerful predators among them often attacked villages where humans lived, and their atrocities of slaughtering innocent people and raping women became a common nightmare for humans. However, some magical beasts were captured and domesticated by humans for use. The domesticated monsters were called "servants". Compared with other creatures, humans in the Earth Age were very weak, and they were able to survive to this day, all thanks to the help of servants.

"The Earth Age lasted for thousands of years, and humans did not create a civilization that threatened the status of God. The theme of war was still the symphony of swords and armor. Even among human races, it was difficult to coexist peacefully. They attacked and deceived each other. There were many licentious kings, dishonest merchants, and rich people who were rich but unkind.

"The great god was satisfied with such a world. He would rather encourage humans to fight each other than unite to challenge his authority. Despite this, he still could not be completely at ease. He was afraid that the nightmare that had happened in the flood age would be revived in humans. So he sent his daughter Maria to the world to establish the Kuso Holy Religion and rule over mankind spiritually. The core of the Kuso Holy Religion's doctrine is "patience". The preacher said that as long as you endure the sufferings of this life, you will be able to go to heaven and enjoy happiness in the next life.

"The Kuso doctrine talks about heaven in a grandiose way, but it cannot reduce the suffering of life. A terrible prophecy is secretly spread among those who do not believe in God. One day, the Mud Age will be replaced by the Hurricane Age. A half-human, half-machine man with silver hair and black eyes will walk out of the darkness, and countless corpses of strong men will fall behind him!

"Five hundred years ago, the pioneer of the Hurricane Century came to the world. He was a demon king from outer space, revered by his followers as the savior of the dark world, the 'Black Angel'. He sowed strange plant seeds on the earth, which produced mechanical fruits. The followers of the Black Angel have brains far superior to humans and steel bodies. They use the omnipresent wind and sunlight as energy and gather under his command to fight against humans. The war between humans and machines lasted for three hundred and eighty years, and humans were defeated and on the verge of extinction. The defeated humans prayed to the great god Kuso for help, and received the god's answer. He sent his son Othello to the mortal world and summoned an army of metal dragons to fight side by side with human allies.

"The final battle between man and machine ended with the decisive battle between Othello and the Black Angel. Othello transformed into the 'Holy Dragon' and defeated the 'Evil Dragon' transformed by the Black Angel. From then on, the age of machines ended, and humans became the masters of Middle-earth again. They worshipped the goddess Maria as their king and established the Holy City of Eden, thus creating the Holy Dragon Dynasty. The Holy Dragon Othello, who had made great military achievements, also stayed in the Holy City and became the patron saint of the dynasty. In order to commemorate the Holy Dragon's achievements, the monarchs of the Holy Kingdom after Maria took 'Dragon' as their surname.

"However, the Hurricane Century has not ended. The 'Machinery Fruit' is buried all over the world and is gradually being used by humans. Together with the 'Magic Crystal Stone' and 'Servant Demon', it has become the pillar of civilization in the new era. The Black Angel has escaped into the Abyss Demon Realm, waiting for the moment of resurrection in the endless darkness. When the Hurricane returns to the world, the steel-blue sunset will cover the world. The resurrected Black Angel will summon the hurricane of the new era, blowing Kuso's paradise and all the injustice and misfortune in the world to the end of the universe. Damn it."

I said it all in one breath happily, feeling good about myself. Mr. Su and the priest turned pale and were speechless.

"……"

"Dad, Father, am I right?"

"Son... let's go home," Mr. Su apologized to the priest in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, the child is just talking nonsense, please don't take it seriously."

The priest nodded calmly, said "I won't see you off" and walked away.

That night, the Su family received a warning from the Holy City Church, forbidding the Su family to spread heresy and slander the great god Kuso. Mr. Su suffered a loss for no reason and was so upset that he couldn't express it in words. I had no choice but to criticize my son severely and let the matter go. Warn him not to believe in heretical propaganda. In fact, how could he know that Xinran did read the above text from a history book. However, it was a folk history work found in the basement of the Vampire Palace. Most of the records were about the early days of the Holy Kingdom, and the invasion of the Black Angels that brought great shame to mankind was also recorded truthfully. Today's history textbooks have been strictly reviewed by the National Bureau of Culture, and all words related to the black angel have been deleted. No wonder the priest was so shocked after he said that and immediately reported it to the Vatican.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom is a patriarchal rule based on religious beliefs. The power of the Holy See is so great that it can almost compete with the Holy Queen. Therefore, even someone as wealthy and powerful as Mr. Su dared not disobey. That night he went to the church to confess and gave the priest 10,000 holy dragon gold coins. The priest took the money and looked much better. He gently advised Mr. Su: "Your son is very intelligent and smart, but people who are too smart are not suitable for religious careers. You should let him study literature instead."

When Mr. Su returned home and thought about it, he realized that this was the truth. His son is not good at politics or business, and becoming a priest is not an option either, so it would be a good idea to let him study literature and art. Having an artist emerge from a business family would show that Mr. Su is not just concerned with money.

In this way, Su Xinran was sent by his father to study literature. The twelve or thirteen-year-old child hung out with a group of court poets all day long. As a result, he did not learn to be a poet, but learned to write novels that were most despised by the upper class.

If you write novels well and produce good works, it may be a way to become famous. However, when Xinran was hanging out in the literary circle, he was in adolescence. Innocent young boys are most easily attracted to erotic writings and yearn for the romantic life described in erotic novels. Su Xinran not only experienced all kinds of romantic things herself, but also wrote erotic novels to promote them. If it were all fiction, or if he wrote about his girlfriend, he could gain the reputation of a talented and romantic man. But he, a little guy, has his eyes on me.

Mr. Su has two wives and three concubines. Except for his first wife who is old and his beloved vampire wife who is not around, the remaining three concubines are at the age of being as vigorous as wolves and tigers. Mr. Su himself also has some of the illnesses of a widower. Although he is over fifty years old, he is still very good at sex. Su Xinran wrote an erotic novel and even used her own father as the male protagonist. She wrote a book called "Su Datou's Spring Night Dream Record", which was printed and published. It became popular all over the city and was in great demand.

When Mr. Su learned about this, he immediately sent someone to buy a copy and read it. The more he read, the more uncomfortable he felt. He called his son over and gave him a good scolding, saying with a look of laughter and tears: "I am angry that you wrote about your father and aunt in such a disgusting way, but I am even more angry that you dared to give your father a nickname - Su Datou?! I am Su Datou, and you are Su Xiaotou! You bastard!"

At that time, Mr. Su was worried about hair loss in old age. His hair was thinning, and his head naturally looked bigger. Su Datou's nickname had actually been spread among the servants for a long time. But he doesn't know. Now that my son has written about it in his book, I am of course filled with shame and indignation.

"Dad, it's indeed my fault that I wrote the book nonsense, but it's not entirely bad for you." Xinran was spanked by his father. He was grimacing in pain, but he still couldn't stop talking nonsense.

Master Su glared, slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Asshole! Is there any good news?!"

"You are already over fifty years old, but you appear to be vigorous and strong in the book. When others know about this, they will envy you. You are so proud."

"……"

Mr. Su had nothing to say but a bitter smile. After all, the son is his own, and he could not bear to hit or scold him. The negative impact had already been caused, so he had to buy up the books and destroy the printing plates to be done with. Because of this, Mr. Su was complained by the bookstore, who accused him of interfering with publishing freedom. He had to pay compensation, apologize, and buy back the copyright at a high price. Su Datou's nickname is already known to everyone, and it can't be blocked no matter what. Just consider it your bad luck.

"Su Datou's Dream Night" sold tens of thousands of copies, and Xinran, as a best-selling author, made a small fortune. This made me feel that making money is actually a happy thing, and my view on business also changed.

Mr. Su was angry at his son's mischief and strictly limited his pocket money. Xinran was short of money and felt that life was very difficult. I suggested to my father that I should study business and make money on my own. But this time the old man was not willing to do so. He glared at her and scolded her: "I told you to learn how to write poetry, but you wrote pornographic novels instead. Now you want to learn business, do you want to sell women? No way!"

The old man's words came true, and Xinran really became a human trafficker in the future. This is a later story, so let’s not talk about it for now.

————————————————————————————–

Chapter 2 (Part 1)

As Xinran failed in her literary studies, Mr. Su couldn't help feeling disheartened. A friend once advised him to send his son to join the army and learn martial arts, but he thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea. Firstly, he couldn't bear to see his precious only son suffer. Secondly, he knew his son's temper. He caused chaos even without learning martial arts. If he had a weapon, he might be murdered. Just when they were at their wits' end, the eldest daughter came home.

The Su family's son is not very ambitious, but their daughter is very outstanding. Mr. Su and his first wife had a daughter named Hongxiu, who was three years older than Xinran. She was the godsister of the contemporary Queen Saint. She lived in the palace when she was young and received all the education that a princess should receive. Five years ago, she was sent to the magic academy Shiva to study, and then entered the Holy Dragon Temple to practice, becoming the youngest and most beautiful priestess in the temple.

Originally, Master Su felt that he could not entrust his son with the business because he was incompetent, so he had been urging his daughter to give up her priesthood and return home to inherit the family business. After much persuasion, the daughter finally returned home. This was also the first time Xinran met her sister Su Hongxiu. This year, Xinran is thirteen years old.

Mr. Su was originally worried that the siblings would not get along, but it turned out that his worries were completely unnecessary. After Su Hongxiu returned home, she fell in love with the quirky little brother as if at first sight. The two siblings were inseparable and had endless things to talk about. Mr. Su couldn't understand how his holy, noble and serious daughter could get along so well with his mischievous son, so he asked Xinran what she had talked about with Hongxiu. According to his own opinion, once a woman becomes obsessed with religion, she will become dull and uninteresting in her words, just like Hongxiu's mother.

However, Xinran said: "My sister knows a lot about the outside world, and I like to listen to her talk."

"Is that so? You really have a childish temper. When you grow up and go out on your own, you will know everything. Your sister grew up in the palace and has not seen much of the world." said Master Su.

"Actually, there is something else," Xinran smiled mysteriously, "I don't believe my sister can become a Dharma King. Her practice is tested every day."

"King of France?!" Master Su was stunned by these two words. He had never placed too high hopes on his daughter before, but now when he heard that his daughter had the hope of becoming the supreme leader of the Kuso Holy Church, he couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

"Well, if Hongxiu really has the hope of becoming the Dharma King...it seems that I must go and do something."

"Dad, don't rush to give money to those charlatans. I don't think my sister can become a Dharma King."

"Nonsense! What's wrong with your sister not being qualified to be the King of France?"

"She doesn't have enough self-control and can't stand the test!"

"How do you know that?" Old man Su was completely focused on spending money to bribe the cardinals of the French Royal Court to pave the way for his daughter, and he didn't think carefully about his son's warning.

"Alas, if you don't believe me, I won't say anything. Anyway, my sister is useless. She can't even pass my test, so it's useless for her to go to the French King's Hall."

"You little bastard, you know nothing about religious affairs, so stop interrupting me."

"Humph, I don't know much about religious affairs, but I also know that the King of France, regardless of gender, must remain chaste for life and cannot marry--"

"Your sister never planned to get married."

"Alas, father, my sister would not like to be the King of France. She would not be happy."

"I have my own plans, what do you know!"

That evening, Mr. Su invited his first wife, Mrs. Song, and Su Hongxiu to his study to discuss his daughter's future. As expected, my daughter was not very willing to go to the French King's Hall. Master Su advised earnestly that the old Dharma King had just passed away and if they did not seize the opportunity, others would preempt them, which would be detrimental to the family's future. Su Hongxiu was still reluctant and was feeling depressed, as if she had suffered a defeat. When she was training in the temple, she was listed as one of the seven beauties in Central China by some gossipers and was nicknamed "Ice and Snow Rose", which shows that she was always cold and calm. But not long after returning home, he seemed like a different person.

Her biological mother, Mrs. Song, noticed something and asked her if she had a lover. Master Su said quickly: "If you have found someone you like, that's fine. You don't have to be the King of France anymore. It would be nice to invite a son-in-law to inherit the family business." He was desperate for his son.

Su Hongxiu hesitated for a long time, then shook her head and said, "My daughter doesn't have a crush on anyone."

"Then you should go to the French King's Hall. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not."

"Father, you make the decision. I will obey you."

In this way, Su Hongxiu returned to the Holy City the next day to meet with four cardinals, and Master Su accompanied her.

After some negotiations and investigations, and with the help of Mr. Su's connections and money, Miss Hongxiu reluctantly ascended the throne of the King of France. This time, even Her Majesty the Holy Queen had to kneel before her and repent.

Mr. Su returned home very proudly. When he first set out on the journey, he had only four carriages, but by the time he got home, there were forty. It was filled with gifts from priests and bishops from all over the place. Even the priest who had fired Xinran for telling tales came to visit and offered to be Xinran's theology teacher. But Master Su is no longer the same as before. He has a daughter who is the King of France. Why does he need to train a charlatan? He declined it outright.

Xinran was not happy at all when she found out that her sister had become the King of France. On the one hand, it is difficult for us to meet again in the future, but there is a deeper concern. Mr. Su praised the four cardinals of the French King's Office highly, saying that they were highly respected and knowledgeable. Xinran, however, said with disdain: "Those guys are all fucking good-for-nothings." He had good reasons for saying this, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, otherwise he might lose his life.

My sister became the King of France, and Xinran was sad for a long time. However, he soon became happy again. Mr. Su visited the Holy City and was in a very good mood. Compared with the trading city, he felt that this place was too small and could not cultivate real talents. He planned to send his son to study in the Holy City. He used to be the administrative principal of Shenglong College, the country's highest institution of learning. Many of his old subordinates and students were in power and teaching in the school, so it was no problem for him to get his son a student. The only question is what to study. He is increasingly aware that Xinran is like a quagmire. No matter what kind of fresh water you pour into it, what comes out in the end is still mud. This precious son is not unlearned, but he has gone astray and is learning evil magic.

When the time comes, you can only consult Xinran for her own opinion. Xinran said without thinking, "The murals in the Dharma King's Hall are very beautiful and gorgeous, and I want to go to the Dharma King's Hall to observe and learn how to paint murals." In fact, his intention was only to meet his sister.

Mr. Su didn't care about all that. If his son wanted to learn mural painting, then let him learn it. Besides, I have my sister to take care of me. So he sent his son to the Dharma King's Hall with peace of mind. After his daughter, another young man from the Su family entered "the most sacred place on earth."

As for what Xinran did in the most sacred place, it was simply horrible.

Three months later, this funny young master was returned intact by the French King's Office. The reason is that they are too childish and not suitable for the serious environment of the French King's Hall. This was of course just a polite remark. In fact, from Hongxiu's letters home, Mr. Su had already learned that his son had gotten into a big disaster and almost implicated his sister. I had no choice but to send him home.

On the night his son returned home, Mr. Su prepared a bamboo board and a whip, intending to give him a severe beating. I could tolerate him making trouble at home in the past, but to go to the French King's Hall and make trouble and embarrass my sister is simply lawless and must be punished!
