I write novels in Liyue

Yun Jin said with a light laugh.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Fang Qiu blushed and quickly beckoned Yun Jin in. As she walked towards the kitchen, she said, "Yun Jin, please sit down. What would you like to drink? Is black tea alright?"

"Sure, I'm not picky."

Yun Jin smiled faintly.

"By the way, Yun Jin, how did you open the door?"

After Fang Qiu finished boiling the water, he asked.

"How did you get in? The door wasn't locked. I just pushed it open gently. At first, I thought no one was home."

Yun Jin said.

"Uh... I see?"

Fang Qiu felt a little embarrassed.

I didn't even lock the door properly...

"By the way, Miss Fang Qiu, I think there were a few 'ding' sounds just now. What was that sound?"

Yun Jin asked in confusion.

Upon hearing Yun Jin's question, Fang Qiu froze on the spot, his gaze wandering, unable to meet Yun Jin's eyes.

He couldn't very well tell Yun Jin that he had just thought she was a thief and was about to cripple her legs, could he?

But after realizing it was her, he gave up the attack, and the ice spikes fell to the ground.

That would be so awkward...

Uh?

Wait, the ice spikes have fallen to the ground...

Fang Qiu's pupils contracted.

Oh no, I forgot to spread out a few ice spikes.

Before Fang Qiu could react, Yun Jin turned her gaze to where Fang Qiu had just stood and saw several ice spikes lying quietly on the ground.

"That is?"

Yun Jin asked in confusion.

"Uh……"

Fang Qiu was taken aback.

It’s over.

It's too late...

The scene was very embarrassing.

Left with no other choice, Fang Qiu had to honestly tell Yun Jin what had just happened.

"Uh? So Miss Fang Qiu, you're already asleep? Sorry to bother you. How about I come back tomorrow?"

Yun Jin looked apologetic and made to get up and leave.

"No, no, I'm already sober."

Fang Qiu quickly said, "You're already awake, and you're already here, so sit down and chat with me for a while."

"OK then."

Yun Jin nodded.

When Fang Qiu asked Yun Jin why she came at this time, she learned that Yun Jin had come twice during the day.

But she was never home.

Fang Qiu also took the opportunity to tell Yun Jin about her change of residence and invited her to come over and visit sometime.

Yun Jin readily agreed.

Soon, the water boiled.

Fang Qiu poured Yun Jin a cup of black tea and placed it in front of her. After Yun Jin took a sip, Fang Qiu smiled and said, "By the way, Yun Jin, is there something you wanted to see me about today?"

"Yes, I'd like to discuss something with you about the new film."

Yun Jin said.

"A new play?"

Fang Qiu was taken aback.

"Yes, I'd like to perform during the Lantern Festival."

Yun Jin said.

"Uh, but I'm not good at traditional opera..."

Fang Qiu said somewhat awkwardly.

"Miss Fang Qiu, there is no need to be modest. Opera and stories are inherently interconnected."

Yun Jin smiled and said, "Moreover, the songs you wrote in 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy' are similar in style to traditional opera."

"OK then."

Fang Qiu nodded and said, "So what kind of play do you want to write?"

"The main theme of the Lantern Festival is to pass on the torch and keep virtue alive. On this day, people release lanterns to let the spirits of the dead return home. Over time, it has also come to mean family reunion. So I want to write a play about reunion."

Yun Jin asked, "Miss Fang Qiu, do you have any thoughts?"

After saying that, Yun Jin immediately added, "Uh, remember that you must reunite. No one can die, and it can't be a tragedy."

"Don't worry..."

Fang Qiu glanced at Yun Jin, both amused and exasperated, and said...

Does this girl have PTSD?

It seems my next book really should be about family reunions.

After saying that, he began to think.

In her previous life, she had studied opera for a period of time in order to write and copy texts.

Things like "The Fairy Couple", "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King", "The Legend of the White Snake", and "The Butterfly Lovers".

She has even studied a lot of foreign dramas, such as Romeo and Juliet.

However, it's really hard to imagine a family reunion.

While Fang Qiu was thinking, Yun Jin sat quietly to the side, occasionally taking a sip of red tea.

"Write a story about a child who goes through many hardships to save his mother, and is eventually reunited with her."

Fang Qiu asked.

"Hmm, it seems quite good. As expected of Miss Fang Qiu."

Yun Jin's eyes lit up.

Fang Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "Once upon a time, there was a famous mountain called Mount Hua. On the mountain was a temple, and the temple's deity was called the Third Holy Mother, who was similar to the Heavenly Emperor's niece in 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy'..."

She slowly and deliberately told Yun Jin the story of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother," also known as "The Lotus Lantern."

The Holy Mother of the Third Princess fell in love with the scholar Liu Yanchang and became pregnant.

However, at the Peach Banquet, all the immortals and gods gathered, but the Third Holy Mother was the only one missing.

The Holy Mother of the Third Princess feigned illness and stayed in the mountains, but her brother Yang Jian discovered this.

The Third Holy Mother violated the Heavenly Laws, so Yang Jian had his celestial hound steal his sister's Lotus Lantern, and then he suppressed her under Mount Hua.

The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms also gave birth to a child in the mountains, who was named Chenxiang.

She asked Yaksha to deliver the child to Liu Yanchang.

As Chenxiang grew older, he missed his mother more and more. So one day he set off to find her. After going through many hardships, he finally found Mount Hua. However, as a mere mortal, he was powerless to save his mother.

In his despair, a deity appeared, took him in, and taught him magic and immortality.

He gradually grew up.

Finally, we have the power.

When he tried to split Mount Hua, he was stopped by his uncle Yang Jian.

As Fang Qiu recounted his story, Yun Jin became completely engrossed, her heart filled with concern for the fate of Chen Xiang's family.

Yang Jian in Fang Qiu's story is extremely powerful, far beyond what a child like Chen Xiang could defeat.

In the end, with the help of various immortals and gods, Chenxiang was finally able to retrieve the Lotus Lantern. With the power of the Lotus Lantern, he split Mount Hua open with an axe and rescued his mother.

The Chen family of three was reunited.

"It's so touching. As expected of Miss Fang Qiu, this story will surely be loved by everyone. It's both a story about gods and a story about mortals, killing two birds with one stone."

Yun Jin exclaimed in delight.

After saying that, he changed the subject and asked with some doubt, "However, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did Erlang Shen Yang Jian suppress his own sister and let Chen Xiang rescue his mother? Isn't that his sister?"

"I have another story about Yang Jian here, would you like to hear it?"

Fang Qiu thought for a moment, then said with a smile.

"His story?"

Yun Jin asked in confusion.

"Ah."

Fang Qiu nodded and said, "After listening, perhaps you'll understand why Yang Jian wanted to stop Chen Xiang."

"I want to hear it."

Yun Jin nodded.
