Sky Curtain: An Initial Overview of the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Mortal World

Chapter 68 Haihua Yao: Aloofness is just a facade, cuteness is the essence.

Haihua Yao is the nineteenth generation sect leader of Penglai Island. She is a vibrant character with a cold exterior but a lovely interior, and was once considered by Haishan to be the most interesting island lord.

The world of "A Certain Scientific Railgun".

In the Tokiwadai Middle School dormitory, a flash of electricity crackled through Misaka Mikoto's bangs as she blushed and swung her fist at the sky.

"Tall, aloof but cute inside? Isn't that the classic 'gap moe' trope? Who would like this kind of... cough cough, I mean, this kind of person looks hard to get along with! Always putting on an aloof act, they probably don't have many friends. But... that guy named Haishan saw right through them and even found it 'interesting,' which means Haishan has good taste. Hmph, it's not because I'm also... Anyway, this kind of trope is so old-fashioned! It's not original at all! And, as a sect leader, it's so unseemly for someone to be able to see through you like this! You should always maintain your dignity!"

The world of "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War".

Inside the student council room, Kaguya Shinomiya covered half her face with a fan, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and her icy blue eyes gleamed with calculation and empathy.

"Oh my, what an adorable person. The so-called 'aloofness' is just armor protecting her soft heart. She doesn't easily show her true self, only letting her guard down in front of those she trusts most. This Haihua Yao Sect Master must be the same. That Hai Shan was able to discover her 'interesting' side, which means he broke through that icy facade and saw the garden in her heart. He's a lucky man. However, this kind of cuteness shouldn't be easily revealed to outsiders. After all, the feeling of having your weakness exploited is not pleasant at all. Hehe, I really want to exchange some tips on maintaining an image with this Haihua Yao Master."

The world of "Under One Person".

In the North China regional office of Nadutong Company, Daoist Wang Ye was sprawled on the sofa, looking like he hadn't woken up yet. He lazily yawned and commented on the content displayed on the screen.

"Hey, isn't this the kind of big shot you often see in the warlock circle? They all look like living gods, otherworldly, but who knows what strange quirks they might have behind the scenes. 'Cold on the outside, cute on the inside,' that persona... is pretty troublesome. It's exhausting to be around them. You have to constantly guess what they're thinking, and one wrong word could offend them. Unlike me, if you need anything, just say the word, and I'll do what I can, and if I can't... you can find someone else. But the fact that Hai Shan thinks she's interested means this guy is no ordinary person; either he has high emotional intelligence, or he's... incredibly stubborn. I reckon this Hai Hua Yao sect leader is probably the type who, if you bring her a box of Häagen-Dazs, she'll say 'bored,' but then secretly eat it all herself. Too much trouble, it's easier to just sleep."

Among the island's past masters, Haihua Yao is unique in that she spent most of her life outside the island, leading a remarkable life of travel. During her travels, she met Jiang Mingzi, who was dressed as a woman, and the two became close friends.

The world of "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation".

In the Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian was carrying a jar of Emperor's Smile wine, hiding in a tree. When he saw what was displayed on the sky, he almost laughed so hard he fell off the tree.

"Pfft—hahaha! Interesting, really interesting! I like this Haihua Yao Sect Leader! Abandoning her sect leader status to go out and have fun, that's life! What's the point of staying at home all day? The outside world is so exciting! And... she made a 'cross-dressing' best friend? Hahahaha, this Jiang Mingzi is quite something! How did they become best friends? Did Haihua Yao help him choose cosmetics, or did they discuss which clothes looked good? Just thinking about it makes me laugh! In this world, true friends are hard to find. Whether they're male or female, human or ghost, if they can drink and chat together, go on night hunts and adventures together, that's a good brother... oh no, a good best friend! Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, do you think if I dressed up as a woman, I could also make a few fairy best friends?"

The world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency.

On the streets of Rome, Joseph Joestar struck a flamboyant pose and started shouting.

"OH MY GOD! What a wonderful friendship! A noble lady and a man dressed as a woman? They've become best friends! This is even more outrageous than me defeating Stroheim's royal guard with a Coke bottle cap! But, thinking about it, this is true adventure! True friendship transcends gender and appearance! Just like me and Caesar-chan, although we always argue, our souls are closely connected! This Ms. Haihua Yao must have seen some kind of sparkling, interesting soul in that man named Jiang Mingzi! Next time, I'll try dressing as a woman too, maybe I can fool those Pillar Men! Tequila Girl's tactics will never be outdated!"

The world of Hozuki's Coolheadedness.

Hell, the Palace of Yama. Hozuki was reviewing documents (physics) with his spiked club, glancing expressionlessly at the sky before calmly analyzing the situation.

"I see. Abandoning one's established identity and environment, and enriching one's experience through travel, is an essential quality for a leader. Staying in the same position for too long can easily lead to rigid thinking. As for making friends with someone who is pretending to be the opposite sex, that's not surprising. The key is the other person's essence, not their appearance. This Mr. Jiang Mingzi must have exceptional qualities or abilities to win the friendship of Lady Haihua Yao. This kind of informal interaction is commendable. However, for Hell, such 'best friend' relationships need to be specially marked in the records to avoid unnecessary confusion caused by gender misperceptions when assigning guards or conducting trials. Hmm, it's necessary to update the supplementary regulations of the 'Hell Household Registration Management Law'."

[Hai Huayao's innate divine power is the Great Forbidden Law. This divine power can disable all enemy spells, even talismans and magical treasures. However, it cannot disable the punishment of causality. The effect of the forbidden law is related to the user's status. It can even disable the selfless Dharma form and the Great Injury Reincarnation of the treacherous lackeys of all karma.]

The world of A Certain Magical Index.

On a street corner in Academy City, Touma Kamijou clutched his head, groaning in despair.

"What a misfortune! Why is this kind of bug-level ability so powerful in someone else's hands?! 'Great Forbidden Law'? That sounds way more advanced than my 'Imagine Breaker'! My right hand can only passively neutralize abilities, and I have to touch them first, which always leaves me covered in injuries. But this guy opens up a domain that disables everyone's skills? Isn't this a mobile 'final dungeon'? Even magical artifacts can't be used? Does that mean even those mysterious spirit armors can be nullified? It's so unfair! And it's a beautiful woman's ability... Why can't my ability be a little cooler? At least, at least make my luck a little better! Why am I the only one so unlucky?!"

The world of "Fate/stay night".

At the Tohsaka residence in Fuyuki City, Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, sat on the sofa, his hand holding a wine glass frozen in mid-air. For the first time, a mixture of astonishment and rage appeared on his face.

"You scoundrel... what did you say? Ban... magical artifacts?!"

His golden pupils contracted instantly, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

"What a joke! My treasury is a supreme treasure containing the original wisdom of humankind! Each piece is a condensation of legends, a manifestation of the king's majesty! How dare a mere cultivator's supernatural power claim to 'ban' it?! This is the highest blasphemy against the king! Neither the Sword of Ea nor the Chains of Heaven can be summarized by the word 'magic'! This woman named Haihua Yao is denying the epic of heroes, denying human history! Cultist, cultist, cultist! If I ever encounter her, I will make her personally experience that the King's Treasury is an absolute law that even the gods cannot ban!"

The world of "A Thought Through Eternity".

In the Lingxi Sect's kitchen, Bai Xiaochun was secretly eating pills when he saw the description on the screen and nearly choked. He patted his chest, his face deathly pale.

"My God! This...this supernatural power is too much! Banning all magic? What's the point of fighting then! Are we all just going to roll up our sleeves and fight hand-to-hand? 110% of my survival skills rely on magic and magical artifacts! If I encounter this Granny Haihua Yao, wouldn't all my painstakingly refined pills and my invincible little black pot become useless? Isn't this just trying to kill me?! No, no, this kind of person is too terrifying. I must write this down in my little notebook and avoid her whenever I see her again, no, avoid her for the rest of the world! Thank goodness, she can't ban causality...but what does 'related to rank' mean? Does it mean that as long as I cultivate to the Heavenly Venerable level, she won't be able to ban me anymore? Hmm! For my life, for immortality, I must become stronger than her!"

In 525 AD, Jiang Mingzi, excited to learn that the 27th War of Cause and Effect would arrive in five years, unleashed a murderous aura that instantly plunged Penglai into winter. Hai Huayao then appeared for the first time in a meditative, asleep posture.

The world of Dragon Ball.

On Baozi Mountain, Sun Wukong (Kakarot) was eating when he heard what was being said in the sky, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Oh! He's so excited because he knows some powerful guys are coming? I get it! I totally understand that feeling! I was super excited when I found out Vegeta and Nappa were coming to Earth! But... his excitement seems a bit over the top, making the weather cold? That's amazing! And that girl named Haihua Yao, she can actually sleep in this situation? Is she like Buu, actually gathering power while sleeping? Wow, those two must be incredibly strong! I really want to fight them! I wonder if they'd be willing to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament?"

The world of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.

In the student council room of Ashford Academy, Lelouch Lamperouge was elegantly sipping red tea, but a sharp calculation flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, how foolish. Driven by a thirst for battle, he recklessly unleashes his power, even impacting the natural environment. This Jiang Mingzi possesses immense strength, yet he doesn't know how to restrain or conceal it—a cardinal sin in warfare. His emotions and intentions are laid bare, like cards on a table, completely transparent. In contrast, that woman named Hai Huayao is far more interesting. Under such overwhelming pressure, she chose to 'fall asleep.' It's a gesture. Either she completely disregards Jiang Mingzi's power, or she's using it to demonstrate her neutrality and detachment. Either way, it shows her mind is far more mature and dangerous than that battle maniac. One wears his heart on his sleeve, the other is unfathomable. If they are enemies, the outcome is already decided. If they are allies… then this will be a very difficult combination to control."

The world of Gintama.

In one of the strongholds of the anti-foreign patriots, Katsura Kotaro sat upright and spoke righteously to the sky.

"It's not sleeping, it's in standby mode! Princess Haihua Yao's sleep is no ordinary sleep; it's entering an energy-saving standby mode when the enemy (though an ally) displays force, conserving all power to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances! What a brilliant tactic! Just like my Elizabeth, when facing the Shogunate's lackeys, though outwardly she's only holding a plank, her internal workings are performing high-speed calculations and analyses! That Jiang Mingzi gets so excited about the battle that she even changes the weather—so unreliable! A true samurai should be like Princess Haihua Yao, calm and composed, unmoved even when Mount Tai collapses before her! Hmm, I'll have Elizabeth learn this meditation-like sleep-in-standby mode; it will effectively extend her battery life!"
