Chapter 440: I, Dayi, just jumped off the summit of Mount Buzhou…

Talking about love?

Dayi remained silent, though his expression twisted slightly.

Just that.

Although he resisted in his heart, for the sake of the bigger picture he could still reluctantly accept.

However…

Fengxi's antics won't stop at just this!

"The love you're talking about must certainly follow the most standard format…"

As the party A, Fengxi seems not intending to act like a person, talking at length, saying things that make Dayi's cheeks twitch.

"It is the perfect boyfriend image in universal values, treating the female party thus."

"I'll briefly mention a few points here…"

"For example, looks need to be handsome enough; this determines whether many women are willing to get to know your inner substance—in this aspect I don't need to worry about you, Dayi, you still meet the standard."

"After that comes personal cultivation, wisdom, knowledge… Hmm, you also satisfy these requirements."

"Also wealth, power, and strong martial ability, giving a sense of security."

"You should be generous in daily life, driving a luxurious carriage, taking the female partner for a ride, touring the Eastern Sea in the morning, lodging in the Western Extremes at night, occasionally going to the starry sky, plucking a string of the Milky Way as a gift…"

"I say—" Dayi couldn't help but interject, "Going to the starry sky? Plucking the Milky Way? Damaging the Heavenly Court's public property? Are you making me stake my life on love?"

"Oh oh oh… then cross it out, cross it out." Fengxi went along with it, "Anyway, you decide for yourself… Although I think, in a life-or-death situation, you flashing your cool, leading the female partner to carve a path through thousands of troops, heroic spirit exploding, the effect would be more shocking, not making people think you're just a rich pretty boy."

"In short, our goal is to create a love legend that the world will envy."

"At that time, our human royal court will pay full attention, frequently broadcast, brainwash… no, propagate to the human populace."

"By then, don't be too upright; pay attention to details, max them out; whatever operation can feed the audience and listeners dog food, you just do that."

"Remember the female's birthday, your anniversary of meeting, each year and month's shopping spree… on these days you can just right create surprises."

"In this way, manifest your deep affection, good conduct, attracting multitudes, you are the dream lover of countless maidens, the most longed-for other half…"

Fengxi simply mentioned a few small requests.

Hougang had already begun to look at Dayi with sympathetic eyes.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Dayi took deep breaths, continuously deep breathing.

For a long, long time, until Fengxi satisfied closed his mouth, he then spoke with a trembling voice.

"Your Highness…"

"I can know, your brain circuits… how did you come up with these weird ideas?"

"How did you come up with them?" Fengxi pondered, "Actually I didn't think much… I just copied from reference books."

"Hey, look."

Fengxi flipped around, searching, then pulled out a large stack of books, such as 《Hand-in-Hand Teaching You How to Date》, 《Precautions for Male-Female Interaction》, 《Guide for Single Dogs to Get Out of Being Single》, 《A Thousand Suggestions for Successful Love People》…

And so on, and so on.

Dayi glanced at it, his eye corner twitching wildly.

"So."

"Your Highness, you read a pile of reference books and now you're coming to direct?"

"I'm also helpless!" Fengxi sighed, "This humble highness has no choice… who made me single as well?"

"Therefore, I can only refer to some others' advice, then give you some guidance."

"Whoosh…" Dayi exhaled a long breath, exhaling for a long time, as if wanting to vomit out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, "Your Highness."

"I say… laying out these conditions, it's not about finding a partner, it's about making someone a son."

"Overdoing accommodation—unconscious doing is fine, but if taken as a task to complete, it's practically driving me crazy!"

"Commander Dayi, don't get too agitated." Fengxi soothed, "Isn't there also a way for me?"

After all, we must consider the mass audience; your love talk isn't just about love, but about striking ** love legend, even eventually transcending racial limits, possessing legendary quality…

This requires considering many female audience's thoughts.

Tell them, the Wu Clan's men are affectionate and righteous, devoted and faithful, perfect dream lovers… also counts as adding a bit of positive image to my Wu Clan!

Of course, you can rest assured—by then you won't be fighting alone; behind you will be an entire team assisting, giving you planning for the love legend.

Every word you exchange, if it can be spread as a little dog-food story, will undergo the most meticulous design, expressed in the most romantic language, without you needing to specially rack your brain.

Fengxi said.

"In other words, I'm a tool person, a pure actor?" Dayi's expression eased slightly, seeming able to accept a bit more.

Seeing Dayi's expression relax, Fengxi hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, 'Yeah yeah… but the most basic mouth shape, expression, gaze, still need to be in place.'

"Can't act too fake."

"Since I'm a tool person… can I apply to swap someone else to act?" Dayi pursued.

"No!" Fengxi flatly rejected, giving an explanation, "The ancestral witches are too noble, not suitable to take the field; the lesser witch masses are also insufficient to become a weather vane, lacking representativeness."

Only the greater witch tier is most suitable.

"But there are many greater witches, why did you pick me?" Dayi countered, "What's the reasoning behind that?"

"Of course it's because your looks are up to snuff!" Fengxi answered bluntly, "The other hard conditions are all about the same; the only difference is looks!"

Although everyone is quite handsome, but the audience groups differ, so the types that can gain broad recognition are much fewer…

Look at Dayou, he takes the path of masculine vigor, many people wildly like him, likewise many people wildly criticize him.

Also, Hougang beside me was once rated as top-tier fresh meat, widely praised, yet some people don't quite approve.

Taking a middle ground, after a round of screening… you stood out!

Fengxi stepped forward, patted Dayi on the shoulder, and said, "So, this tool‑person's task—I, representing the organization, solemnly entrust it to you!"

Chief Dayi, now you just recite a few lines of poetry, then take on the organization's heavy burden!

I don't accept it!

The poem—Dayi did not recite it; instead, he protested dissatisfiedly.

According to this standard, shouldn't it be you going up?

He glanced sideways at Fengxi.

As you take hold of authority and bear heavy responsibility, your brows and eyes gradually open, your temperament slowly transforms, and you become the most widely recognized!

You yourself often call yourself the third most handsome of the Wu Clan, don't you?

Listening to Dayi's explanation, Fengxi rubbed his nose, gave an embarrassed smile, and said, "Ah, back then I just floated a bit… how could I count as the third most handsome of the Wu Clan?"

How disrespectful to the ancestor witches? At most you're the fourteenth most handsome of the Wu Clan.

Hmm.

Considering the Wu Clan, conceptually covering the tribe, who is the most handsome?

That answer is genuinely accepted; no one would deny it.

Even, it's not just within the Wu Clan.

Even outsiders would think so!

And that person is——

The axe‑wielding Pangu!

Whoever disagrees?

One can go to the moment when heaven and earth were split, approach that great deity, and discuss the question of who is the most handsome god.

If one insists on one's own view.

Friendly advice: remember to buy some accident insurance.

Oh, right.

Xihuang might not accept it, cutting off the possibility of profiteering through false claims.

……

Pangu is the most handsome; the entire Wu Clan, top to bottom, agrees.

But below Pangu, there is some disagreement…… after all, everyone's aesthetics may differ.

At a certain level of handsomeness, what competes is temperament, wisdom and learning, breadth of mind and courage, and the unique temperament forged from life experience.

Some are masculine and overbearing, pressing forward irresistibly, convincing others.

Some are warm and smooth like jade, humble gentlemen, making people feel close.

Some are steady as a mountain, solid and reliable, inspiring trust.

Others are deep and unfathomable, like a most interesting book that guides others to read and understand, subtly moving and influencing them, turning them into fans.

……

Among the ancestor witches, aside from the dharma‑appearance's flamboyant, outrageous style, each manifested a human‑form Dao body; every ancestor witch has looks maxed out and myriad temperaments.

There is Gonggong Zu Wu, who commands all waters under heaven and is the patriarch of the water Dao…… thus he possesses both the profound vastness of all rivers returning to the sea and the nurturing breadth of water moistening all things; occasionally, due to the merciless nature of water and fire, when water accumulates in great magnitude, it can destroy all things, carrying a hint of cruelty.

He bears an imperial aura; he is top‑notch among the ancestor witches.

Yet even so, Gonggong falls short of Di Jiang Zu Wu in public ratings and support.

This ancestor witch seems not outstanding in any particular aspect, yet when combined, it strangely receives widespread praise; in appearance it scores a few tenths higher than Gonggong's support.

And below that?

Among the great witches, there is Fengxi, this growth‑type player.

Formerly handsome, he was introverted; among the great witch populace he wasn't too conspicuous.

But now he has grown into his looks; at the previous yuan assembly he successfully topped the ranking of great witches.

So at this moment, Dayi's words are not really teasing.

If we consider the matter of looks, screening for sufficiently handsome, most‑approved appearance, Fengxi stepping up…… is still quite suitable.

Just that.

This was rejected by Fengxi's words.

"The great undertaking is not yet complete; how can one think of home?"

Fengxi solemnly shook his head: "I've just taken the position of Human King; I'm still struggling to handle clan affairs, where would I find the heart for romance?"

After all, in the end one must marry…… one can't just flirt and not wed, leaving behind the image of a scoundrel, right?

"What? Still have to marry?!" Dayi widened his eyes.

"Of course!" Fengxi nodded seriously: "How could a fulfilling romance not end in marriage?"

"Not only must one marry, but after marriage one must also act as close as glue and lacquer!"

"However, once you reach that step, it can be said that a couple's private life should not be leaked; gradually lessen the attention, letting public opinion slowly withdraw from above."

"Isn't this going too far? Acting all the way to the point of marriage?" Dayi, emotionally agitated, said, "I actually disagree with this."

"I've shed blood for the Wu Clan! I've borne arms for the organization!"

"Lady Houtu, where is she? I want to see her!"

Chief Dayi was dissatisfied.

Over these years, he has repeatedly gone through life and death for the Wu Clan; not long ago, in the "minor skirmish" of the Wu and Yao clans, he also shed plenty of blood.

But now, just arrange his latter half like this?

If he were a scoundrel, that would be fine; accepting this windfall benefit would be just that—the organization giving him a wife, a good thing!

But Dayi knows himself; compared to ordinary colleagues, he is considered principled.

Once the contract is set, responsibility follows.

Decide on a marriage partner you know nothing about? Isn't that just setting someone up!

I'll speak frankly!

By then, even if I jump off the summit of Mount Buzhou, or even from the Taiyin Star, I will not agree to your random arrangement of this marriage!

"Great Yi!" Fengxi's face sank, he flipped his hand and slapped out the talisman that Houtu had given him, "Lord Houtu, regarding this work, I have been given full authority!"

This makes things difficult for me!

Fengxi first rebuked sternly, then shifted tone, his attitude becoming gentle: "The organization still has humanity; it will never force you."

Or rather, since this marriage concerns you personally, we will listen to your opinion...

By then, you'll tour the human tribes, performing everywhere; you might just run into a satisfactory partner, right?

Furthermore.

Even if you never develop any feelings, just treat it as a proper job.

Your sacrifice will be remembered by the organization.

So, the woman chosen to act with you will surely be the gentlest, most virtuous, wisest woman—understanding, reasonable, discerning right from wrong, thoughtful and caring, with the correct worldview, so she won't let you be disadvantaged.

If even this doesn't satisfy you...

Fengxi paused, then said: "After we get through the Lich Great Tribulation, you could use the Golden Cicada Shell technique to manifest an avatar to accompany you, while your true form changes appearance—wouldn't that work?"

You are at least a Great Luo!

Rebooting your origins—what's the big deal?

By then, we'll quietly transfer the assets… the woman won't know a thing—could she still chase you for marital property?

Fengxi's words shocked Hougang and Great Yi.

Listen.

Is this human speech?

Great Yi secretly sighed.

"Girls among the human race ought to be delighted… Good thing this guy didn't come to act in this play."

"What else would happen?"

"This guy… probably would need to marry four or five consorts, let alone concubines—without ten, how could he hold out?"

"Moreover…"

"With a heap of consorts and concubines, he'd likely be fooling around outside, leaving behind romantic tales."

"Tsk…"

Great Yi sighed inwardly.

Fengxi didn't know how Great Yi was maligning him in his heart.

He just spoke calmly.

Look, this method always has more solutions than difficulties, right?

As long as you have the will, no problem can't be solved.

Great Yi!

Just boldly carry out the task the tribe assigned you… Once we make you a generation's superstar, then launch a sweet romance, and enter marriage mode.

Create enough gossip for the tribe… no, a legend!
