Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

Looking at the dark, unappetizing dish, Yae no Miko, after a fierce internal struggle, decided to bravely face her fate. "Kage, after I die, burn me lots of light novels!"

Seeing her like this, Lei said, "If you don't want to eat it, that's fine, but you must eat a normal diet and not just eat fried tofu all the time."

Yae no Miko quickly agreed, "Okay, I promise you, I will eat normally from now on."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yingdian finally smiled.

Yae no Miko then realized that Lei Yingdian was deliberately retreating to advance, making himself eat a healthy diet and no longer just eating fried tofu.

"Shadow, you've become bad! All you do is bully me, waaaah, I'm so pitiful!" Yae no Miko pretended to wipe away tears.

"Your trick is no longer effective." Lei Yingdian then placed the plate of dark-colored food into the Pure Land of the Heart.

"Is it no longer useful? Then try this move!" Yae no Miko stretched out her hands as claws and attacked Lei Yingdian's high and proud soft parts.

"Divine Child, you... no, no, no, *sobs*"

...(Keywords: hot spring, divine child, shadow)

Inazuma Castle, Yae-do Hall.

A long line of customers waited in front of the store to buy books, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Editor Kuroda was deeply moved by the lively scene.

Once upon a time, Chiki Ueno was a struggling author who rejected all of his manuscripts.

I originally thought he would give up writing, after all, being so harshly rejected by an editor would be a heavy blow to many people.

But unexpectedly, this guy suddenly had an epiphany on his writing journey. Starting with "The Young Woman Rosalin," his writing style changed drastically, and every novel he wrote became a huge hit, leading the trend of the times.

"Kuroda, get me a copy of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame.'" Kanoin Heizo looked around to make sure no one he knew was there, then lowered his voice, sounding somewhat mysterious.

As an experienced editor, Kuroda was used to this kind of situation. He calmly took out a wrapped novel from under the counter and skillfully handed it to Kanoin Heizo.

Heizo Shinoin took the book and gently tucked it into his arms, as if it were a precious treasure.

He quickly completed the payment and then eagerly left the bookstore, running towards his home.

Not long after, Kanoin Heizo returned to his room.

He carefully closed the doors and windows, locking them one by one to ensure that no one could disturb him.

Then, filled with excitement, he lay on his bed and gently opened the novel.

He flipped through the pages very quickly, glancing over many pages at random. He wasn't particularly interested in the plot details, and soon he found the part he wanted to read.

"In the dimly lit chamber, Dotore curled up, her hands bound behind her back, her entire body wrapped in red rope. Her eyes were blindfolded with a black cloth, and she wore a collar around her neck..."

"Alza walked toward her with a smile on his face."

"Dotolei's face showed pain mixed with an indescribable pleasure."

Kanoin Heizo carefully read every word on it.

After reading "The Young Woman Rolinesa", he stepped into a new world. After reading a few more risqué novels, he thought he had explored almost all of this new world.

However, this book, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, clearly told him that what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the new world!

Chapter 158 The Hunchback of Notre Dame's Sumeru - Part 2

Mondstadt, the city protected by the wind god, where the warm sunlight shines on the ground beneath the Statue of the Seven, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

On this quiet afternoon, a bard sat alone on a bench beside the statue of a god, holding a novel called "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".

His eyes gleamed with intense interest, as if he wanted to uncover every secret within. A bottle of wine sat beside him; he would occasionally pick it up, take a sip, and then immerse himself once more in his book.

The novel's plot is full of twists and turns, and it is so exciting that the bard quickly forgot everything around him, even his drinking.

He felt a strange sense of pleasure when the female protagonist was subjected to various forms of masochism. This feeling was so wonderful that he couldn't stop himself from experiencing it.

A bold idea suddenly popped into his head: it would be great if he could put it into practice himself.

If you put yourself in the female lead's shoes, then who is the male lead?

"That old man from Liyue?"

"No, no, he definitely can't handle that huge rock pillar!"

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

"Or perhaps I should try that giant rock pillar myself?"

……

Mondstadt, the Grand Master's office of the Knights of Favonius.

As usual, Qin sat upright at her desk, concentrating on her official duties.

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a Knight of Favonius rushed in.

His face was full of anxiety and tension. Qin frowned when she saw this.

Knights of Favonius are all rigorously trained, and they must remain calm and composed at all times and in all places.

"Master Jean, it's terrible! Barbara's fans have surrounded Mondstadt Cathedral!" the knight said breathlessly.

Qin was startled, and the quill pen in her hand drew a long line on the paper. She immediately stood up, her face full of seriousness and worry. "Why would they do this?"

“Those fans think the church is too dark a place and are worried that Pastor Barbara will be imprisoned and abused!” The knight hesitated for a moment, then added, “Recently, a novel called *The Hunchback of Notre Dame* has become very popular, exposing the darkness and corruption of the church. They may have been influenced by the novel to take such action.”

Qin was completely bewildered; this whole thing sounded incredibly absurd.

Putting aside the issues with the Church of the West Wind, just considering Barbara's identity, who would dare to imprison or abuse her?

She is the biological daughter of the bishop of the Church of Zephyr and the younger sister of the vice-commander of the Knights of Zephyr.

Suddenly remembering something, Jean looked up at the knight and asked, "Is the one leading the group Albert?"

The knight nodded. "This is the guy!"

Qin held her forehead with her hand, looking helpless.

This Albert is Barbara's ultimate brainwashed fanatic. He does nothing but spy on, photograph, and stalk Barbara all day long. The Knights of Favonius have talked to him countless times, but each time he only stays calm for two or three days before relapsing into his old ways, making life unbearable for Barbara.

However, these are usually just Albert's personal actions, and this is the first time such a large-scale riot has occurred.

Qin began to ponder the reason. Could it be the influence of that novel?

But it's unbelievable that someone like Albert could lead a disturbance just because of a novel.

"Bring over that copy of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'."

The knight looked strange. After a fierce internal struggle, he took out a novel from his pocket and said awkwardly, "Commander Qin, I have one here."

Qin took the novel from his hand, immediately sat down, and began to read it.

Upon seeing this, the knight quickly left the office.

Qin initially read very quickly, only wanting to get the gist of the story. However, as the plot unfolded, she turned the pages more and more slowly, eventually becoming completely immersed in the story.

Soon, she saw the "confinement" plot, where all sorts of bizarre props and methods opened her eyes. The villain, Alza, would come up with new tricks every day, and as he sought thrills, he became increasingly perverted, torturing the female protagonist to the point of wishing she were dead.

Qin gradually understood why Barbara's fans were so indignant.

Because Barbara and Dotore in the novel are very similar in that they are both pure and kind, with angelic and delicate faces.

After learning the details, she had a plan. In front of the public, she swore on behalf of the leader to the god Barbatos that the Church of the West Wind would never allow such a filthy thing to happen and that Barbara had not been violated in any way.

If Albert dares to cause trouble again, then let's make sure he can never get going again!

Qin was very efficient; she immediately led her people to the church and quelled the riot.

After the riots subsided, many unsuspecting people learned that the riots originated from a novel, and they couldn't help but become very interested in that novel.

As a result, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame became a huge hit in Mondstadt!

.......

Liyue Harbor.

A handsome young couple walked hand in hand down the street, their intimate behavior attracting the attention of passersby.

However, they have become accustomed to it.

"Xingqiu, are you going to buy novels again?" Chongyun asked gently.

Xingqiu's face was flushed with happiness; nourished by love, he was even more charming and captivating. "Hmm, I heard that Wanwen Yashe has released a new novel, written by the author of 'Brokeback Mountain'—a toy merchant from the winter capital."

"It's him!" Chongyun couldn't help but fall into memories. It was after reading this novel that he gradually understood Xingqiu's deep love for him. In order to avoid a regrettable ending for him and Xingqiu like in the novel, he decided to put everything aside and bravely take that step.

The two quickly arrived at Wanwen Yashe. Although they knew the sales would be booming, the scene still surprised them greatly. The long queue in front of Wanwen Yashe stretched from the store entrance all the way to Wangsheng Hall, a distance of two or three miles.

Despite the long queue, the two decided to join it.

In the long queue, they spotted a familiar face—Zhongli, a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth.

"Zhongli, you're here to buy novels too?" Xingqiu greeted him politely.

Zhong Li shook her head. "I don't have the money. I'm not buying it."

"And who are you?" Xingqiu asked in confusion.

"I bought it for Master Hu."

Chapter 159 The Hunchback of Notre Dame's Sumeru - Part 3

Fontaine, the top floor of the Mo Mang Palace.

Furina was sitting at her desk, reading letters from fans. As a star in Fontainebleau, she received many letters from readers every day. Most of the letters expressed their love and admiration for her, which made her very happy.

However, the latest letters are becoming increasingly strange.

Many readers hope she will play Archbishop Arza in "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame," wielding a whip to brutally lash out at the female lead.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame?

Judging from the title, this should be a novel by Sumi, right? Why does it feel so strongly reminiscent of Inazuma?

Just then, there was a crisp knock on her door.

She put down the letter in her hand, slowly walked to the door, opened it, and found Melousin Sedna.

Sedna smiled and looked up, holding a beautifully printed novel in both hands. "Lady Furina, these are the books you wish to purchase."
