My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 778 - 772: Descendants of the Cangming Overlord

Sponsored

Upon hearing Ma Ran’s words, Qing Dai, the Supreme of Fusion, and Pei Ming, the Supreme of Space, exchanged glances.

Zhu Ding, the Supreme of Destiny, crossed his arms, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly entering a state of pretended sleep.

What does "speak freely" mean?

Could it be explained?

How on earth could Ma Ran utter such polite nonsense?

No doubt about it! This guy is definitely petty. If someone really dares to take him seriously and dares to babble nonsense in front of him, then...

There’s at least an eighty to ninety percent chance they’ll be hammered to death on the spot, even having their status shaken, taken away, and their will quickly obliterated, with every trace of their existence vanishing into thin air.

Based on Zhu Ding, Qing Dai, and Pei Ming’s understanding of Ma Ran...

If the war situation weren’t so tense, preventing them from diverting too much effort to deprive someone of their status and making it hard to find a qualified person, Ma Ran probably would have completely erased them long ago!

"..."

Qing Dai, choosing a moment’s patience for peace, and timid Pei Ming suddenly had their expressions soften. In front of Ma Ran, they lowered their eyebrows, kept silent, and dared not show any emotion that might provoke Ma Ran’s displeasure.

At this moment, it was still the bold Zhu Ding who stood out, with his head held high, coldly looking at Ma Ran: "Your power is terrifying, I acknowledge you. But this ’All Heavens OL’ is mainly overseen by Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan, isn’t it?"

"Conquering All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds..."

"Ha."

That single "Ha" resonated powerfully, full of disdain and contempt, displaying an indomitable spirit and courage.

Qing Dai and Pei Ming looked at Zhu Ding as if they had seen a ghost, their faces full of disbelief.

This guy...

Isn’t he afraid of death?

He’s insanely courageous!

How does he dare to defy Ma Ran?

Unfortunately...

Ma Ran did not become enraged and immediately kill Zhu Ding on the spot. Instead, he nodded lightly with a calm expression like a pool of stagnant water, and spoke with a mild tone: "Hearing is believing, seeing is knowing."

"That’s why I want you to become special invitees to ’All Heavens OL’, to see and experience it for yourselves."

"Although my relationship with Chi Xiao, the Supreme of Reincarnation, is not good, I quite agree with some of his views."

"The unknown and variables are full of fun, aren’t they?"

"As to whether Her Highness Zhao Guanlan can use this as a fulcrum to pry open the balance between the Endless Planes and our cosmos, even I dare not be certain."

("Really? I don’t believe it.")

("You, the Supreme of No Position, plan everything with incredible depth and unparalleled wisdom, predicting past and future, and yet there’s something you can’t be sure of?")

Qing Dai forcibly held back the impulse to roll his eyes, chewing up the sarcastic remarks on the tip of his tongue and swallowing them down.

He relied on strong willpower to stop himself from indulging in self-destructive impulses.

Pale with cowardice, Pei Ming, however, unusually opened his mouth at this time: "I think Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan is merely showing off."

"The so-called ’relying on All Heavens OL to conquer the Endless Plane plan’ is utterly meaningless, it’s both a waste of energy and a squandering of resources, it’s not worth the effort."

Pei Ming indeed held a low opinion of Zhao Guanlan, believing that guy might just be acting out of some perverse sense of fun, making a fuss over nothing to amuse himself. These documents were merely a fig leaf to rationalize his behavior.

But he ultimately retained his rationality, preserved Ma Ran’s face, and refrained from saying something like "you guys are essentially joking around like idiots."

"There’s an hour and a half before ’All Heavens OL’ officially opens."

"Please feel free to allocate this free time as you three wish."

With that said, Ma Ran smiled slightly.

He casually waved his hand, sending the three captives before him into an independent three-person dormitory newly built by the Grass Hut Academy.

These viewers were very picky and almost all were Ma Ran’s life or death enemies, loathing the sight of him. If they could beat him, they’d probably have already lunged forward to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Trying to reap them like vegetables through the ’play’ ability was somewhat challenging.

This is entirely understandable.

After all, not everyone would be like Su Qiangwei, powerful, with full level Audience Power, and willing to unconditionally trust Ma Ran.

Even so, Ma Ran had enough confidence and assurance to fully exploit the audience value of Qing Dai, Zhu Ding, and Pei Ming.

...

Grass Hut Academy.

About a hundred meters northeast of the boys’ dormitory building, in the newly built three-person dormitory.

This three-person dormitory had all necessary facilities, and although not extremely luxurious, was definitely not shabby either.

As fellow captives from the same faction, Qing Dai and Pei Ming originally had plenty of topics in common, but with Zhu Ding standing nearby, it became a bit awkward.

Just as Pei Ming was about to say something to ease the tension, Qing Dai’s stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.

Their stomach growled with hunger.

"This frail body is simply... simply..."

Qing Dai was flushed with a mix of shame and anger.

Fortunately, the other two also had strange expressions and awkward demeanors, seemingly experiencing hunger as well.

The bodies Ma Ran created for them were just like ordinary humans, needing to eat, drink, and excrete, and they required sleep too.

This was nothing short of a brazen insult!

Bang!

Zhu Ding rudely kicked open the door, following the aroma with determined strides, heading to the cafeteria.

Qing Dai and Pei Ming followed closely behind.

Even though they had never lived a single day as ordinary humans on Earth, the learning ability of these three captives was exceptionally strong. They adapted and familiarized themselves with the ordering process in the cafeteria with almost no stiffness or awkwardness.

Zhu Ding, although visibly displeased, still ordered two meat dishes and two vegetables, emphasizing a balanced diet, seemingly having some knowledge of Earth’s human dietary habits.

The other two captives simply copied the answers—ordering according to the menu choices of other Academic Society members.

Throughout the entire meal, Qing Dai and Pei Ming ate in silence, daring not to engage in any in-depth conversation.

After wolfing down his meal, Qing Dai proactively tried to make peace with Zhu Ding, "After entering ’All Heavens OL’, let’s form a team, the three of us!"

This burly guy Zhu Ding seemed completely oblivious to others’ goodwill, giving no indication of friendliness towards them.

"Get lost!"

"You damned traitor, it makes me sick just looking at you!"

Qing Dai felt somewhat aggrieved.

They were an undercover, not a traitor!

Yet, Qing Dai wasn’t willing to give up and still tried to persuade Zhu Ding, "We are in dire straits, in the same situation, we should support each other and help one another to have a chance to escape the clutches of ’that one’."

Smack!

Zhu Ding slapped his chopsticks on the table, glaring coldly at Qing Dai, "There’s no point in talking with someone who disagrees! I’d rather chat with Ma Ran than waste a single breath talking to you."

With that said, he sneered, leaving behind a disdainful "heh" before picking up his tray and heading to a table on the other side of the hallway.

The "Supreme of Destiny" had become a prisoner, yet his temper remained the same as ever.

"Tsk, today was an eye-opener..."

Pei Ming stuffed a spoonful of green pepper and pork stir-fry into their mouth, murmuring, "Perhaps this is what ’stubbornly unrepentant’ truly means?"

Knowing one’s character has flaws, yet refusing to change, even if it means being beaten to death, unwilling to make the slightest change.

Whether it’s good or bad is hard to say.

One thing is certain—Zhu Ding’s backbone is truly unyielding.

"Is Zhu Ding an idiot, or brainless?"

Qing Dai glanced secretly at the "Supreme of Destiny" across, who was disheveled and shoveling rice with braised pork into his mouth, patting the bothersome appendage on their chest, muttering under their breath, "Such bad luck! Just got full, said two words to him, and now I’m so pissed I’m hungry again!"

With that, they went to the cafeteria window to get a bowl of oil-splashed noodles, slurping the noodles noisily.

In the corridor, the discussions of other Grass Hut Academy members could be heard intermittently.

"These three look unfamiliar? It’s not the recruitment period, and their vibe is off, they shouldn’t be exchange students from other societies."

"They must be exchange students from Cangming."

"How so?"

"If you observe closely, you’ll notice many unusual things. Their speech and behavior are vastly different from normal Earthlings."

"Wow, hearing you say that, there does seem to be something off..."

"Feel like these three are quite arrogant, could they be young heiresses or heirs from some prominent family on Cangming Star?"

"Indeed, this natural, unintentional aura of being above others just can’t be faked. It requires time, depth, heritage, and the influence of subtle, immersive exposure."

"Clearly weak and somewhat pretentious, but for some reason, they exude a strong aura! How to put it... it feels like the three of them carry an inexplicable sense of pressure."

"Go ask, see if their surname is Lin, Zhang, or Zhao."

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"These three are so small yet so impressive, at least eighty percent of the people in the cafeteria are watching them now. If they’re not descendants of the Four Overlords of Cangming, it’s hard to make sense of it."

"Why can’t they be surnamed Ye?"

"Shut up! Her Highness Honglian isn’t even married, where would the kids come from!"

"Oh, and how would you know? Expert? Well, I also say the Sword Master loves the sword, is obsessed with it, and can’t possibly have descendants!"

"My overlord isn’t even human, where would the descendants come from?"

"Speaking of not being human, as a die-hard fan of Profound Immortal, I’m wide awake now! What makes you think Zhao Guanlan would have offspring?"
