《Rebirth As a Fatuous And Self-indulgent Ruler》C23. “Father!”
Advertisement
Standing outside of the Qiankun Palace, Shi Qingshan felt excited and complex.
Having not spotted the complex feelings of his father-in-law, Long Xiaoyuan said naturally, “Qingzhou hasn’t had breakfast yet. Minister Shi, you haven’t eaten it, have you? You can eat it here before leaving.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Thanks for your mercy,” said Shi Qingshan seriously after leaving his complex thoughts behind.
They walked inside. Shi Qingshan couldn’t help furrowing his brows while seeing the palace maids and eunuchs greet them along the road, for he didn’t see his son show up.
When His Majesty was about to arrive, all imperial concubines including the empress should wait for him outside of their palaces. Otherwise, they would commit a crime of disrespecting His Majesty!
Shi Qingshan got his heart jolted and wanted to say something. However, he spoke nothing upon seeing Long Xiaoyuan wholeheartedly walked inside. Forgot it! If His Majesty scolded his son for this, he would beg His Majesty for mercy even if he would be laid off.
He knew clearly that His Majesty had long been worried about the military leadership of the Shi family. If His Majesty took this chance to rebuke the empress, he would surrender his military power to protect his son!
After walking inside, Shi Qingshan didn’t see the scene which made him concerned. Long Xiaoyuan naturally walked toward his son who was reading and said while pulling out the book in his son’s hand, “You’re reading again.”
Shi Qingzhou said with a smile, “I have nothing to do.”
Long Xiaoyuan said, “It’ll be bad for your eyes if you read too much...alas, your father is here. We’ll have breakfast together.”
“My father...” Shi Qingzhou felt stunned first and then quickly looked outside, seeing Shi Qingshan watching them in surprise.

Shi Qingzhou felt warm and involuntarily walked over to Shi Qingshan. “Father...”
“Your Grace, greetings. May you long live!” Shi Qingshan hurriedly paid respects to him after waking up from the shock for fear that he would cause troubles for his son.
Shi Qingzhou held him up. “Stand up, Minister Shi.”
Long Xiaoyuan slightly frowned, wondering that there were so many rules in the imperial palace so that a father had to pay respect to his son.
Shi Qingshan sneakily kept an eye on Long Xiaoyuan and thereby said after thinking that Long Xiaoyuan disliked seeing Shi Qingzhou get close to him upon seeing Long Xiaoyuan frown, “Your Grace, it’s the rule, the rule.”
Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand at Zhou Qing who understood him and then asked all the palace maids and eunuchs to withdraw.
Long Xiaoyuan walked over to Shi Qingshan. “Well, father, Qingzhou is right. Since we’re a family, you don’t need to be so polite.”
He naturally called Shi Qingshan “father”, which, however, greatly startled Shi Qingshan and Shi Qingzhou.
The former was even frightened, let alone the latter.
Long Xiaoyuan asked with confusions while winking, “What’s up?”
Shi Qingzhou coughed twice to clear his throat. “Your Majesty, it’s okay that you call my father by Minister Shi.”
Shi Qingshan echoed Shi Qingzhou in a hurry after turning calm and expressed his terror. Long Xiaoyuan said with his lips curled, “You’re my wife, so why can I not call your father by father? What’s more, there is no outsider.”
Shi Qingzhou felt warm and slightly curled his lips, speaking nothing.
Shi Qingshan was startled again. Looking at Shi Qingshan’s reaction, Long Xiaoyuan knew that he should take time to achieve his goal and said, “Forget it! Don’t mention it! I’m hungry, and let’s eat first.”

“Okay, I’ll order breakfast to be served,” said Shi Qingzhou right away.
Consequentially, delicate breakfast was served on the table when Shi Qingshan was in a daze.
However, Shi Qingshan almost had his eyeballs come out of his eyes while seeing that Long Xiaoyuan naturally put different kinds of food into Shi Qingzhou’s bowl.
Shi Qingzhou felt flushed and glared at Long Xiaoyuan. The latter winked his eyes and stopped doing that. Alas, he forgot his father-in-law was beside them. Qingzhou, Do You Recognize His Abilities?

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

Forgive me, I didn't mean to take that!
Murong Yingyue is the heiress to a famous cultivator clan. Except that’s she’s really not, and just a stand-in for the real heiress, who had been sickly since she was born. And she’s not really even herself. A transmigrator from Earth had transmigrated into the body of a female demoness, inheriting her memories. The transmigrator had then later died, transmigrating into her infant body! Ah, Why is it so convoluted? She grew up with those memories, and when she was finally sufficiently strong enough to travel the world safely, she eagerly embraced a leisurely life. When I was a demoness, I didn't know how to live without constantly being on guard and having to calculate every move I make. When I was on Earth, I didn't know a life without romantic drama and jealous women! I'll enjoy these two things you have missed, then! I'll do whatever I want and avoid troublesome people. So... How the f*ck did I get into this stupid cliche storyline? And as the main character, too? I don't want to be the main character! They attract so many senseless cannon fodders and powerful enemies, and furthermore, don't they attract romantic interests like it's no one's business? Someone help me! This will read better if you are familiar with wuxia novels. Discontinued. Apologies to all who liked the story. I feel that my writing style has changed since I last wrote for this story, so I tried to get myself to rewrite the story but I couldn't find any motivation to do so. I also lost the outline I had for this story and don't really remember what direction it was going in, so I want to leave the story as is. Thank you to the people who read and favorited this.
