Chapter 1368: Chapter 1367: Miss Kong’s Literary Talent

"Lonely watch by a cold window alone as a widow?" Karson Schwartz merely gave a faint smile after hearing this, then closed her eyes to prepare her answer, while the others savored the words carefully.

However, merely a few seconds later, Karson Schwartz’s entire body shuddered violently, her eyes opened in shock, and her arms trembled uncontrollably.

These seven characters seemed simple, but in reality, their artistic conception, meaning, and even calligraphy were distinct from the ordinary—it could be said that coming up with a matching line for these seven characters was not something one could do in a short time.

"What’s so difficult about that, I’ll match it, ’Happy divine vessel admires Karson!’" a young lord bellowed, extremely proud of himself, believing he had made a suitable match.

Alas, this line is a unique verse; Princely Heir Qi, what you’ve matched is incorrect!" The speaker was Grayson Newman, who heaved a heavy sigh and looked at Yusuf Zuck with a peculiar expression.

Being a person of profound knowledge and a major literary figure himself, he could naturally understand the uniqueness of the seven characters written by Yusuf Zuck.

"You don’t get to decide, sister Karson gets to decide. Sister Karson, is my matching line not good?" Princely Heir Qi looked at Karson Schwartz with a teasing smile.

Karson Schwartz glanced at him and had calmed down by now, then she spoke four words: "Utter nonsense!"

"Pfft—" Princely Heir Qi almost spit out a mouthful of blood. His matched line rhymed well, how could it be utter nonsense?

At this moment, Karson Schwartz turned to Yusuf Zuck and pondered before asking, "Is this verse your own creation?"

"No." Yusuf Zuck replied truthfully: "It’s a poem from Widow Zhang of the largest household in our village. Because Widow Zhang is beautiful and wealthy, there are especially many suitors visiting her every day. In a fit of anger, she composed this verse, declaring that whoever can match it can marry her!"

"This humble lady concedes and asks for Brother Boatman’s introduction!" Karson Schwartz bowed deeply to Yusuf Zuck, actually intending to meet this Widow Zhang he mentioned.

"Sister Karson mustn’t admit defeat so easily; if the verse wasn’t his own creation, then it shouldn’t count as his victory!" Several handsome men suddenly said loudly.

"Exactly, exactly, if he didn’t compose the line himself, and merely copied it, how could it count as winning?"

"And ’Lonely watch by a cold window alone as a widow,’ this is clearly a line written by a woman, so it doesn’t count, it doesn’t count!"

"Has anyone been able to match this verse?" Karson Schwartz didn’t try to wriggle out of it but was curious to see if anyone had been able to match it!

"Yes!" Yusuf Zuck said with a smile.

"Who matched it? Where is he, and which Clan does he belong to?" Karson Schwartz was greatly surprised.

"I, namely of little merit, composed several lines, and Widow Zhang became my wife, apologies!" Yusuf Zuck chuckled.

"What? You matched it?" Karson Schwartz was astonished: "Quickly, tell us the lines you matched!"

"There are several lines." Yusuf Zuck carefully recalled the lessons from his junior high school days, when his Chinese teacher had listed a few examples—these were matched by the ancients, and although not very neat, they were passable!

"You actually matched several lines?" Karson Schwartz couldn’t believe it; she hadn’t managed to match even one, how could this little boatman have matched several?

"Impossible, you, a mere boatman, to match such a unique verse, I don’t believe it!" Grayson Newman suddenly said.

"I don’t believe it either!"

"Who would believe it?"

The crowd was in an uproar, and many of them found Yusuf Zuck increasingly unsightly, with a few even showing a glint of murderous intent.

Today all of them wanted to cozy up to Tristram Schwartz, but none had the chance; now a mere boatman had stolen all the limelight, turning these noblemen from prestigious Clans into nothing but extras, so how could they be willing to accept this?

"Tell me one of the lines, let’s hear it!" Karson Schwartz didn’t join the others in their jeering, but continued to be curious about the little boatman.

Yusuf Zuck smiled faintly: "Under a rotten wutong tree, we nest together fruitlessly."

"It was this very line that I used to win over the beauty, of course, along with a few others, including such as ’Melancholic and anxious, in dread of recalling love’, ’Wandering the rivers and lakes, tears streaming down’!"

"Ah~" Karson Schwartz let out an ’Ah’, then covered her mouth and stepped back, astonishment, hesitation, and even a hint of delight flitting across her face—every expression made an appearance.

Grayson Newman and the eight Princely Heirs also savored it carefully, and then all nodded in approval.

It matched perfectly.

"How about it? Ready to admit defeat? Can we go have a drink just the two of us now?" At this moment, Yusuf Zuck felt a bit smug inside—what talent she boasted, yet she couldn’t even come up with a single perfect verse.

"Hoo~" Karson Schwartz then took a deep breath, and even smiled a little, nodding and saying, "I admit defeat!"

"Whoosh~" Suddenly, just as Karson Schwartz conceded defeat, the Divine Boat encountered its first rapids, then the waves surged, the vessel tilted, and everyone exclaimed in shock.

Of course, everyone here was a Divine Emperor, and the least advanced among them was still a High-level God King, so no one moved.

But seeing the tumultuous river and the tilting boat, Karson Schwartz suddenly burst into laughter: "I remember now, I’ve got it!"

The crowd looked at her strangely, but she closed her eyes and quickly said, "The river and sea churn with rolling waves!"

"Wow~" Upon hearing her words, everyone was astounded—it perfectly suited the current scene!

Yusuf Zuck was taken aback for a moment, then clapped his hands in delight: "Miss Schwartz’s literary grace truly has no equal in the world!"

"No, no, no, compared to Sir Zuck, I am far inferior. I still concede defeat; please Sir, let us move to the inner chamber!" This lady indeed knew how to lose gracefully, and did not look down on Yusuf Zuck, this minor boatman.

In her eyes, there’s no distinction between high and low, noble and humble, which is one of the reasons she could become a great lady!

"Karson, that’s not good, is it? We know nothing about this man’s background!"

"Yes, having drinks alone with him—if he harbors evil intentions..."

"Shut up!" This time, Karson Schwartz finally stopped the others, and coldly glanced at them, saying, "Although Karson is a woman, she is also a person of honor. How can a person of honor go back on their word and grow fat on it? And what are you worried about? He is but a Junior God King, do you think he could harm me?"

"Hmph!" Having said this, Karson Schwartz snorted coldly and then gestured for him to proceed.

Yusuf Zuck tossed his boat pole into the mighty river, then laughed heartily: "Honestly, I took over rowing for my uncle today, precisely to witness Miss Schwartz’s elegance firsthand, and upon seeing it, Miss Schwartz truly deserves the title of peerless literary talent of the Heavenly Realm!"

He knew how to flatter as well, if he didn’t say some pleasantries and lull Karson Schwartz into dropping her guard, he would indeed find it difficult to make his move.

"Sir Zuck, please!" Karson Schwartz indeed responded with a pursed-lip smile, continuing to invite Yusuf Zuck.

The friendship between gentlemen, even in the dark recesses of a chamber, would not be base or sordid, so Karson Schwartz didn’t care about what others thought or said; she was the kind of person who follows her own path!

Yusuf Zuck strode up the stairs and then entered an independent parlor inside.

The parlor was also filled with wine, dishes, fruits, and the fragrance filled the room.

"Sir Zuck, please take a seat. With no third person in this room, let me toast to you," said Karson Schwartz, carrying herself with an unconstrained grace. She picked up her wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.

Yusuf Zuck certainly didn’t stand on ceremony, drinking down his cup as well, then squinted his eyes looking at Karson Schwartz.

He was going to make his move, but... he couldn’t create too much of a commotion. He needed to infest her body and rapidly to take control of her soul without her being any the wiser!

Of course, he was aware that it might not go smoothly, he might not succeed at once since after all Karson Schwartz was a Superior Divine Emperor, and he didn’t really have much confidence in his success. Thus, he needed a foolproof plan to capture the situation in one fell swoop!
