Bai Ge Divine Church: The White Gate! (Continued)
Bai was embarrassed to find that he couldn't answer the questions. The questions mentioned above were relatively easy appetizers, while the following questions were increasingly tricky.
For example, one of the fill-in-the-blank questions asked him to answer how many people he saved during the Third Honkai Eruption. He couldn't use an approximation; he had to be accurate to the single digit!
(Damn! I don't even remember how many people I saved.)
He only ever remembered the time and place of the Great Honkai, as well as the number of casualties.
Because Bai Ge doesn't care how many people he saves, he only cares about how many people he doesn't save.
(No! Next question!)
Please write an 800-word essay praising the savior, Bai Ge. (10 points)
(...Damn it! How am I supposed to write this? And shouldn't the essay be worth 60 points? Why are you deducting 50 points? I feel like I'm losing out big time by writing this.)
Bai Ge's eye twitched violently. Although he was very confident in himself in all aspects, he hadn't reached the point of being narcissistic enough to write an 800-word essay praising himself.
Bai said that he didn't have that thick skin, and he felt that the moment he finished writing, this essay would become a black mark on his life. In short, he couldn't bring himself to write it!
(What kind of crazy questions are these? I need to see what the person who wrote the questions looks like! And now I'm sure this religion is definitely messed up! But what should I do now...?)
There were even questions on it that left Bai Ge completely dumbfounded, such as "What kind of instant noodles does the savior like to eat the most?", "What kind of music does he like to listen to the most?", and "What kind of girl does he like (please describe both her personality and physical characteristics)?"
People often fail to understand themselves correctly.
Looking at the series of questions about himself on the scroll, Bai Ge was sweating profusely. He had a feeling that he might know the answers, but if he wrote them down, he would definitely be wrong.
(What's your favorite instant noodles? Um, I don't really like instant noodles. What's your favorite music? Can I check my listening history? What kind of girl do you like? Do I have to write all this in detail?! Are you crazy, test creator?!)
After looking at the whole test paper, Bai Ge realized that he was only confident in answering the questions about height and weight. He was not sure he could answer the rest correctly, and he started to panic.
Shashashashasha~~
However, at that moment, Bai Ge heard the sound of a pen tip slicing across paper at high speed.
He turned his head and saw that Sakura, who was sitting next to him, was writing furiously, completely absorbed in her work, and did not seem to be having any trouble at all.
Sakura: "These are all simple, basic questions."
Bai Ge glanced at the examiner's position, then activated her Herrscher Authority, constructing a small paper ball which she threw at Sakura.
"Puss! Sakura!" (Very quietly)
"Um?"
Sakura, who was answering the questions with such gusto that her pen seemed to be on fire, paused for a moment, then opened the paper ball to take a look.
Sakura, let me copy your exam paper!
"Ah, this..."
Sakura glanced at Bai Ge's exam paper, and when she saw that it was almost completely blank, she was both amused and exasperated.
However, just as she was about to show the test paper to Bai, she realized that she might have gone too far.
Especially with short essays, she has written almost 1,800 words, even though the basic requirement is 800 words. Ying is even confident that if she has enough time, she can write a whole book!
However, this is something that cannot be shown to the person in question.
(If Bai Ge were to see this little essay, well, no way! Absolutely not! It's too embarrassing!) Sakura can't show this little essay to anyone in the world except Bai Ge.
"Ahem, Bai Ge, how can you cheat on an exam? Please write it yourself. Don't worry, these are all easy questions."
"Sakura, what's wrong with you, Sakura? You're kidding, right? This is a piece of cake! For me, it's practically a suicide question."
Bai Ge's eyes widened. He could hardly believe that Ying had rejected him. For a moment, he felt that something was wrong with the world and he fell into deep thought.
(Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?)
"Students over there, please answer the questions carefully! Do not whisper to each other, otherwise it will be treated as cheating!"
(Damn it! I refuse to believe I can't pull this off today!)
Bai Ge was instantly aroused. He activated his power, creating a simulated Feather of the Wind to control everyone's consciousness. Then, without any concealment, he openly looked at Ying's exam paper.
"Bai Ge, Da Mei!"
Sakura was shocked and quickly covered her test paper.
The simulated Feather of the Wind couldn't control the spirits of the Fusion Warrior; at most, it could only make them see illusions. Therefore, Sakura knew that all she had to do was remain still in the concealing posture.
Bai Ge's eyes twitched violently as he looked at Ying, who was lying on the table, desperately covering her exam paper to prevent him from copying. He felt a little regretful for giving the real Feather of the Wind to Hua some time ago.
The exam ended quickly.
"Ah, I'm tired. Let's destroy..."
Bai Ge, his eyes vacant, pulled Ying into his arms and bit her shoulder in revenge. He decided that he would punish this disobedient Fox Spirit tonight!
"Didn't you promise to give your heart to me and fight for me? Now you won't even let me copy your answers. Sakura, I'm very disappointed in you."
"Yes, I'm sorry, Bai Ge, I was wrong. Can we go home and do it again? I... I'll let you play with my ears..."
"Hmph! I'll forgive you if you let me bully you for another five minutes."
Bai Ge glanced at the lotus-shaped Pseudo-God Key in his hand and thought that giving the real one to Ah Hua was indeed the right choice. Now he was using the fake one to do bad things, so that no one around him would realize what he and Ying were doing.
After the examiners quickly finished grading everyone's papers...
"What's going on? How come there's another one who writes so badly this time? There's still more than half of it left unfinished. Ugh, this is the worst one out of the worst batch I've ever seen."
"..."
Bai Ge shielded Ying in front of him, knowing without a doubt that it was definitely his test paper.
Suddenly, the examiner's expression changed. His face, which had been clouded with worry because of Bai Ge's exam paper, instantly became sunny.
"Oh? This next one writes so well? Not bad! Quite good, especially this short essay. It's only a ten-point question, but they've written two thousand words! Their understanding and faith in Lord Bai Ge is quite profound, and very devout. It seems they can be directly promoted to a high-level believer..."
"Stare..." (each one)
"No, don't look at me like that, Bai Ge."
Sakura lowered her head in embarrassment, feeling the admiring and respectful gazes around her. This battle-hardened female assassin was at a loss for what to do.
In the end, the two stood side by side in stark contrast. Bai Ge looked at his failing exam paper and Ying's perfect score exam paper, and felt inexplicably unable to accept it.
Then the examiner came to them.
"Now, welcome to my church, both of you."
"Um, didn't I fail?"
Bai Ge raised an eyebrow. Actually, he had an urge to go home right now; he was already tired.
However, the other party grabbed his hand and slammed a thick book onto Bai Ge, saying something.
"It is precisely because you failed that we need to recruit you even more. Rest assured, under my guidance you will be able to clearly understand the greatness and nobility of Lord Bai Ge. This 'Encyclopedia of Lord Bai Ge 7.0' is for you. Let us together appreciate the glory of the savior, Bai Men."
"...x2"
Bai Ge wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. He looked at his encyclopedia in his hand, but had no desire to open it. He wanted to return it to the other party.
Sakura noticed his predicament and very sensibly took the book away... or perhaps she wanted to read it herself; well, this Fox Spirit was already reading it with great interest.
The examiner once again showed an approving expression.
"Miss, you are truly devout, White Gate."
"Um, thank you, White Gate..."
"Sakura! Wake up! I feel like you're really going to join this weird religion!"
Bai Ge squeezed Ying's small hand to remind her, "We're just here to investigate, not to actually join the cult."
However, there seems to be no need for further investigation now, since the situation is already quite clear: this is a religion that worships Bai, and they all call themselves followers of the Bai Clan.
The two glanced at the words written on the banner, "Welcome to join the [Bai Ge Church]."
(Ugh, I'm so damn embarrassed!)
(This religion is really good!)
Bai Ge couldn't bear to look at her, but Ying's eyes sparkled.
"What's going on here, Sakura? Let's go home and sleep, okay? I don't want to stay here anymore."
Bai Ge's cheeks flushed red, and he almost pleaded with Ying.
After filling out their initiation applications, they were led into an inner meeting room where everyone was dressed in white robes, as if holding the Bible. Each person also held a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Lord Bai Ge, Version 7.0," and they were discussing his past deeds with each other.
At the very front of the venue was a huge portrait of Bai Ge, and it was exceptionally well-painted! It was clearly the work of a renowned artist, worthy of being exhibited in an art museum.
Bai Ge felt like she couldn't take it anymore.
Staying in this place made it difficult for him to breathe.
Although he wasn't entirely without joy, the shame was overwhelming. He was extremely grateful that he had pinched his cheeks to avoid being recognized.
However, just as he was about to leave with Sakura's hand...
"No, honey, I think we really need to continue investigating! This cult is very strange!"
"Um, husband? Oh right, we're newlyweds now."
Bai Ge was taken aback for a moment.
He then realized that he and Sakura were still in the role of newlyweds, and there was nothing wrong with that title.
