My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

On Tianqiong Mountain, Gu Lan was contemplating a new script. It was a story about splitting mountains to save one's mother. Whether it was Yang Jian splitting Peach Blossom Mountain or Chen Xiang splitting Mount Hua, Simu loved these stories very much. Therefore, she urged for updates daily, causing Gu Lan much hair-pulling frustration as he diligently wrote.

As his daughter grew older, her skill in acting cute and spoiled became more and more proficient. Over these years, Gu Lan found it most unbearable when his daughter used her crying trick—tears dropping at will, truly epic-level acting.

"In a few days, it will be Mumu's birthday. What gift should I give her?" Gu Lan's inspiration struck, and he made up his mind. He decided to arrange a role for his daughter in the new script.

In recent years, Jing Nation had prospered more and more, and its people were already enjoying peaceful and prosperous lives. In this era where people lacked worries about food and clothing, entertainment began to flourish.

Thus, the newly established The Gu Movie Corporation became the most popular among the people of Jing Nation. The Gu Movie Corporation undertook various stone engraving projects, no longer limited to just novels and comics but also gradually delving into movies and television dramas.

And so, actors emerged.

Through stone engravings to record scenes, actors portrayed scripts in this entirely new mode of storytelling, which garnered immense popularity among the people of Jing Nation. Even the civil officials who were initially skeptical about animations gave high praise to movies and television dramas, considering them an art form no less than poetry and literature.

Especially after Gu Lan, using his unique method of copying texts from the public domain, wrote new versions of "Investiture of the Gods" and "Journey to the West," even though they were not yet completed, The Gu Movie Corporation had already received unprecedented acclaim from the people of Jing Nation.

Nowadays, any citizen of Jing Nation could casually chat about the stories of Nezha causing trouble in the sea and Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in Heaven.

Due to the popularity of "Journey to the West," even the Demon Clan was eager for more updates. Even the Dragon Sovereign secretly urged Gu Lan to update more, expressing a desire to know if the East Sea Dragon Clan could have a role in the subsequent plot.

Adaptation was not chaos, storytelling was not nonsense, and adding scenes that were impossible to add was out of the question. Gu Lan firmly rejected this behavior and, before finishing the gap between "Investiture of the Gods" and "Journey to the West," even opened up a new series, "Lotus Lantern."

The role Gu Lan arranged for Xiao Mumu was the little Nezha in it.

It was also possible to give Xiao Mumu's excellent acting a place to play and solve her birthday present problem.

It was simply perfect.

Gu Lan was very satisfied.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

"Come in!"

Gu Lan put down his pen and let the person in.

It was Li Xiong. At the moment, he was holding the collars of two young men, looking cold and full of murderous intent.

"Master... Dean!"

"Chen Fan and Xiao Yan are at it again, insisting on a duel. They almost started fighting just now."

Li Xiong brought the two young men in front of Gu Lan and began to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

Both young men were well-known geniuses of Lanyan Royal School, and the situation was quite simple.

Young and infatuated, the two young men fought over a girl from a prestigious family. Even at Lanyan Royal School, such incidents were not uncommon. Moreover, the two young men already had conflicts between them.

Chen Fan was born into the Tang family in Shuzhou and was a true second-generation cultivator. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was just a servant's son of the Tang family, yet he had now become equally famous. Naturally, this caused some discontent in Chen Fan.

Coincidentally, both fell in love with the same person, leading to some quarrels. Having also learned a lot at Lanyan Royal School, it was not unusual for them to end up fighting.

"This trivial matter, next time don't come to me for it."

"The two of them, each go to the Scripture Pavilion and transcribe one hundred volumes of Daoist scriptures. Until they finish transcribing, they are not allowed to leave the pavilion."

Gu Lan waved his hand, directly giving the two young men their punishment.

This punishment was neither light nor heavy, and under normal circumstances, students of the Royal School would accept it.

Gu Lan had a high prestige in the Royal School, always being the number one idol in the hearts of the students. Naturally, everyone listened to his words.

The two young men glanced at Gu Lan with admiring eyes and obediently went to the Scripture Pavilion to transcribe books.

Li Xiong stayed behind, seemingly having something else to say.

"If there's anything else, just say it all at once."

"I still have books to read and can't delay for too long."

Gu Lan took out a jade pot and poured himself a cup of spirit tea for nourishing qi and focusing the mind.

During these days, writing scripts had consumed a lot of his mental energy.

The difficulty and hardship involved were no less than those in daily cultivation with his own wife.

"My lord, it's actually about those two young men again."

"I brought them here mainly because last time they were jealous and wanted to duel over Princess Yong Le, betting that His Highness would notice them more..."

Puff!

Upon hearing his daughter's title, Gu Lan directly sprayed out the spirit tea he had just sipped.

Immediately, he saw the graceful figure of Xiao Mumu in his mind, as well as her innocent smile and the Imperial Weapon, the Haotian Battle Axe, that she always carried.

Goodness gracious!

These two boys were truly fearless; they even dared to think about his daughter!?

"Tell those two boys that their punishment is changed to transcribing one thousand volumes of Daoist scriptures. Until they finish transcribing, they are not allowed to leave the Scripture Pavilion by half a step!" Gu Lan immediately instructed Li Xiong.

Upon hearing this news, he felt that the punishment he had given to those two boys was too light.

To actually set their sights on his daughter like this, they were really pushing their luck.

Although his daughter appeared to be a little fairy on the surface, deep down she was clearly a little devil.

But having them transcribe scriptures was also for their own good!

If Simu found out about this, the fate of those two boys would probably be much worse than it was now.

"Yes, my lord!"

Li Xiong also understood the seriousness of the matter. After saluting, he hurried off to the Scripture Pavilion.

Gu Lan then picked up his pen again and started writing.

Although he was nominally the dean of the Royal School, most of the big and small matters of Lanyan Royal School were handled by his subordinates.

In the literary department, there were Su Hua of Jing Nation, Master Zhang Qingwei, and Master Si Qingqu of Liangyi Academy.

In the martial department, there were Immortal Realm Immortal King, Demon Realm Masters, and Li Xiong, among others.

As for Gu Lan, he only needed to appear occasionally.

Nowadays, Lanyan Royal School was already the largest cultivation Royal School in the mortal realm. Every graduate student was a pride of heaven, and not only Jing Nation cultivators but also those from other dynasties were proud to have studied at Lanyan Royal School.

If they could also meet the legendary Tianji Pavilion, it would be something they could boast about for a lifetime.

In the mortal realm in the past, the cultivation to the Saint Stage was as unattainable as immortals in the heavens.

Nowadays, Saint Stage cultivators were not rare to see everywhere, but they were no longer scarce.

Many students of Lanyan Royal School even had the strength to challenge the Saint Stage, but they refrained from rushing due to the need for a stable foundation.

And the foreign teachers of Lanyan Royal School had many people whose cultivation base was climbing steadily, faintly qualifying them to challenge the Imperial Realm.

All of this was related to the mortal realm's Guardian Array.

Nowadays, the spiritual energy density in the mortal realm was increasing more and more.
