I write novels in Liyue

He spoke with such detail and conviction that it didn't sound like drunken ramblings.

"Yes, no problem."

The proprietress nodded.

"My name is Fang Qiu."

Fang Qiu said.

"Fang Qiu?"

The proprietress was taken aback at first, then exclaimed in surprise.

Even though she managed to suppress her voice, it still startled the drunken young man at the next table, who was slumped over the table.

"Fang Qiu? Where is that old thief Fang Qiu? That old thief Fang Qiu is a heartless monster! I will live and die with Xiao Xun! Where is that old thief! Give me your life! Sister Long Kui, bring me my Demon-Suppressing Sword and Demon Sword. I will avenge you and let him taste my unique Dual-Sword Flowing Qi Slash."

He turned around and looked over.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

The proprietress was too shocked to react for a moment, but fortunately, the female editor Li Yao reacted quickly. She waved her hand and said, "You must have misheard. We're talking about Huanxiu, which is a kind of wine."

"Uh, is that so? Sorry, I misheard. I thought that old scoundrel Fang Qiu had appeared. Don't misunderstand, I was just saying it casually. Actually, I was going to ask him for an autograph. Don't get Qianyan Army to arrest me."

After saying that, he turned around and lay down again.

He was muttering something under his breath, like, "How could that old scoundrel Fang Qiu possibly be a beauty?"

"Sorry, I was just too shocked. You're the author, Fang Qiu?"

The proprietress asked in a low voice, "I used to hear people say that Fang Qiu was a great beauty with white hair. Now it seems that those people weren't exaggerating."

"Well, it's me."

Fang Qiu nodded helplessly.

Sure enough, as soon as you mention my name, people will immediately think of my pen name...

Upon hearing Fang Qiu's admission, the proprietress swallowed hard, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu was indeed a stunning white-haired beauty, just as some of the drinkers had said.

She possesses both talent and good looks.

Moreover, it possesses the Eye of God.

Heaven is really too kind to this girl.

Moreover, to his surprise, the author Fang Qiu, who had caused his business to boom, turned out to be the stunning beauty he had always wanted to bring into the tavern as its signboard lady.

Shocked, she introduced herself to Fang Qiu.

Her name is Jiang Qinji.

Upon hearing this name, Bai Qing, who had just taken a sip of wine, almost spat it out.

Even Fang Qiu couldn't hold back anymore.

Jiang Qinji?

Jiang Shi and Qin Ji?

The combined form of the two lovelorn women from Quanzhou in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4"...

Ah this...

This is too coincidental, right?

"what happened?"

The proprietress quickly asked.

"It's okay, I just choked."

Seeing that the others also looked curious, Bai Qing, adhering to her professional ethics as an editor, did not reveal the details of the matter.

Seeing that Bai Qing was alright, the proprietress breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh right, didn't you just say that you would get drunk after just one drink, so you didn't order any alcohol? I'll go and mix you a fruit juice with fruit wine as an apology for what you just did."

Looking at Fang Qiu's pretty face, the proprietress smiled slightly and said.

"Uh? No need."

Fang Qiu quickly said.

"Don't worry, I guarantee you won't get drunk. Just drink it like a beverage."

The proprietress smiled and said.

Without waiting for Fang Qiu to speak, he turned and left, quickly bringing over a drink that looked similar to juice and placing it in front of Fang Qiu.

……

……

P.S.: I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said I'm weak and need to take medicine to improve my health for a month.

There will be another 3,000-word chapter later to make up for yesterday's.

Chapter 197 The Legend of Sword and Fairy Released

This reminded Fang Qiu of an anime called "Grand Blue" from his previous life.

Oolong tea can be made by mixing vodka and whiskey in a 9:1 ratio.

The kind that can be set on fire in a wine glass.

The theme song of that anime has a misheard line that goes something like, "When a beverage becomes flammable."

But with so many people watching, and the proprietress assuring everyone she wouldn't get drunk...

Left with no other choice, Fang Qiu picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.

A sweet, fruity aroma immediately filled my mouth.

It has a rich and delicate flavor.

It wasn't nearly as unpleasant as the wine I drank in my previous life, and I didn't feel dizzy at all.

This looks exactly like fruit juice, doesn't it?

The landlady was so kind to me. To avoid making me feel awkward, she specially made me a glass of juice, pretending it was wine, so that I wouldn't feel embarrassed when I drank with the editors.

So Fang Qiu started drinking with the editors without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, at the counter, watching Fang Qiu drinking with several editors, the proprietress couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"It seems like there's no chance of getting her to work at the store."

After all, although she hadn't read Fang Qiu's books, no one understood their popularity better than she did.

A woman who single-handedly boosted the business of the pubs near the bookstores.

Once Fang Qiu publishes his book, the tavern will be packed with people that very night, all looking gloomy and sighing as they drink in silence.

Many people will come to drink for several days in a row.

For example, after reading Fang Qiu's "5 Centimeters Per Second", that guy named Chang Jiuye came to the tavern to drink for three consecutive days.

Moreover, Ms. Fang Qiu's book was recently adapted into a film with investment from Mr. Tianquan, and it is about to be released.

Therefore, with Fang Qiu's books being so popular, it's impossible for her to lack money.

Even if Fang Qiu were offered five times the salary of a shop assistant, it probably wouldn't be attractive to her at all.

Alas, how sorrowful.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to try a different approach and find another way.

Let her come to the pub often for drinks.

"I'll buy a copy of Fang Qiu's new book when it's released."

The proprietress thought for a moment and muttered to herself.

This should allow you to learn more about Fang Qiu.

If Fang Qiu comes to her bar to have a drink next time, she can talk to her about the contents of the book.

Moreover, the wine she just mixed for Fang Qiu had a very low alcohol content, so even someone who doesn't drink at all would only get slightly tipsy next time.

Meanwhile, Fang Qiu quickly finished several rounds of drinks.

Bai Qing was completely drunk.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and a tear would occasionally fall.

Several editors escorted her home, and Fang Qiu bid farewell to them and the landlady, walking towards her own home.

As soon as Fang Qiu got home, she was about to sit down and read a book when she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

I feel a little dizzy.

After casually preparing cat food for Tingyu, Fang Qiu walked to the full-length mirror, looked at the beautiful woman in the mirror with a flushed face and watery eyes, and then took off her clothes.

Her fair and delicate body was immediately exposed to the air.

"I feel so dizzy. Could it be that there was actually alcohol in that juice? And the effects are only starting to kick in now? I'm so sleepy... Oh well, I'm not wearing a nightgown."

Fang Qiu, naked and pale, walked to the bedside in a daze and then crawled into the quilt.

Feeling the friction of every inch of her skin against the clean sheets, Fang Qiu felt a strange sensation, but it was quickly overwhelmed by a deep sense of drowsiness.

She gently closed her eyes, curled her body into a ball, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was early morning.

The weather was overcast, neither hot nor cold.

A gentle sea breeze swept across Liyue Harbor.
