Chapter 1516 Liberté Launches (Part VI)
The setting was a Chinese martial arts cultivation fantasy. Jin Chonglin played a poor, dirty peasant who was forced to beg just to survive.
Then one day, he heard that if someone presented a specific rare herb to the nearest cultivation sect, then that person would be automatically admitted. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change his life for the better.
He gathered his courage, brought his meagre belongings, and entered the forest filled with dangerous beasts. Inside the dark forest, he encountered many dangers and barely survived by the skin of his teeth.
The CGI was incredible, seamlessly melding fantasy and Jin Chonglin's cool fighting choreography.
Then he encountered a group of vicious people ganging up on a weak little girl. From the robes that the people wore, they were members of the cultivation sect that he wanted to attend.
He didn't even hesitate to fight them, trying his best to rescue the bullied child. Unfortunately, he was too weak. As a normal mortal, he couldn't win against powerful cultivators. They soon overwhelmed him, beating him up, and leaving him barely alive.
Before he lost consciousness, he saw a large white tiger-like creature appearing and fighting the group of violent bullies.
He woke up inside a cave with bandages all over his body. The little girl was back, completely normal, with no injuries.
"Thank you for saving me," she said and offered him a beautiful, glowing plant with delicate small white flowers. "This is my token of gratitude. It will make you stronger so that you can have the opportunity to gain power."
Before he could say anything, the little girl transformed into a beautiful white-haired maiden.
"But remember, it is up to you whether you can become powerful or not. And it is also up to you how to use the power."
The beautiful woman then transformed into the large white tiger-like creature he saw earlier before he fainted. He stared in horror as the divine beast stared at him with sharp, otherworldly eyes.
"I will come see you again when you become powerful. And when you do, I want to see how you use the power. Whether I kill you or not, we will see then."
With those words, the divine beast disappeared. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Once he recovered from his injuries, he learned that the plant the divine beast gave him was the rare herb that the cultivation sect was searching for. He didn't hesitate to consume it.
The next scenes were a time-lapse of his hard work and sacrifices. From a mere mortal, he successfully became a cultivator. And from a low-level cultivator, he became the most powerful and most-revered master of his own sect.
Then finally, after many millennia cultivating into immortality, he finally met the divine beast again.
This time again, the divine beast was trapped by several other sects to take another of one of its rare immortal herbs. This immortal herb only sprouted every few thousand years watered by the divine beast's own heart-blood.
Jin Chonglin's character immediately released a powerful attack wave and cut down the chains trapping the divine beast.
"We meet again, old friend," he greeted.
The divine beast looked at him for a long time. "Are you certain that you are willing to go against your own kind to protect me?"
"It's not a question about my kind against your kind. This is a question about right and wrong. You gave me the opportunity to become the person that I've always dreamed of being. I am not an ingrate. I will always pay back what I owe."
The divine beast transformed into a beautiful white-haired maiden again.
Together, they fought against the other sects who wanted to entrap the divine beast and use her treasure for their own gains. The two were powerful, but there were too many enemies.
They reached a critically dangerous stage of the battle.
At the last moment, the beautiful white-haired maiden spat out her core. She infused it with Jin Chonglin's blood.
A white orb flashed out of the fusion before revealing a blue-black bottle of "Vaillance".
"I'll leave it to you," she said before her body shattered into thousands of shards.
Jin Chonglin screamed from grief. But he quickly sprayed "Vaillance" all over himself, gaining a tremendous boost to his powers, and ultimately defeating the enemies.
After the battle, he discovered the immortal herb lying on the bloody ground. He picked it up.
The next scenes were another time-lapse of him carefully cultivating the rare immortal herb, spraying it with "Vaillance".
The immortal herb grew tall and strong, flowered, and even bore fruit. Then the fruit grew bigger and bigger. And when it ripened, out came a white-haired child.
A tear flowed down Jin Chonglin's eye, but his smile was filled with joy.
"Father," the white-haired child called him before throwing herself into his arms.
The final scene showed Jin Chonglin teaching his white-haired child how to protect himself.
Then his voice said, "Dare to be brave, 'Vaillance' by Liberté".
The advertisement ended.
Standing ovation.
"Bravo, Prince Lin Lin!"
"Superb!"
His fans among the guests couldn't stop from cheering.
Iris stared at the now blank monitor. She was speechless at what she just watched.
"That…was so cringy," Iris couldn't stop herself from saying.
Clover avoided her eyes, while Yin Meixing maintained a soft smile all throughout.
Jin Chonglin heard her. While maintaining a bright smile and waving at the audience, he replied to Iris, "What do you mean that it's cringy? It's a total masterpiece!"
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself. Thankfully, she was able to recover quickly and regain her smiling expression.
"Who changed the original script for the 'Vaillance' ad?"
"Prince Lin Lin," Clover immediately shifted the blame.
He snorted but still smiled for the audience. "So what if I changed the original script? I turned it into a masterpiece."
"Who watches a twenty-minute ad?" Iris gritted her teeth.
Yin Meixing cleared her throat. She blinked at the three of them.
Iris, Jin Chonglin, and Clover all smiled even more brightly.
"I'll get back at you later," Iris said while beaming.
He smirked.
She saw it. "No, I'll ask Chen Fei to sort you out later instead."
He looked like he was electrocuted. "You!"
Yin Meixing: "Ahem!"
Iris and Jin Chonglin continued smiling.
