I write novels in Liyue

"If you, Mr. Zhenyu, could attend in women's clothing, then the popularity of 'The Record of Finding the Sword in Autumn' would reach a new peak."

Yae Shenzi said.

"No, no, a man should not dress as a woman. I was thinking of asking Yaedo to help clarify the rumors."

Xingqiu quickly refused.

If word of this cross-dressing incident gets back to Liyue, how will he face anyone?

"I see... Then, Ms. Zhenyu, could you please refrain from clarifying your gender for the time being?"

Yae Shinko feigned a worried expression and said, "If the readers had known from the beginning that you were a man, that would have been fine. But now everyone thinks you're a beautiful girl, Makoto-sensei. If we clarify this now, it will inevitably hurt the book's popularity. Although the hurt is only temporary, and with your skill, Makoto-sensei, it's only a matter of time before you recover your popularity, at this crucial moment of adapting the movie, if the popularity is suppressed, the movie's promotion progress on Inazuma Publishing will be affected."

"Ah, this..."

Yae no Miko's business analysis left Xingqiu speechless for a long time.

"Mr. Zhenyu, you wouldn't want your work to be hindered or even lost in Inazuma, would you?"

Yae no Miko sighed, her face showing concern for Xingqiu, and said earnestly.

"Uh……"

Xingqiu remained silent for a long time.

Although something felt off, what Yae no Miko said also seemed to make a lot of sense...

For a moment, there was no way to refute it.

Finally, under Yae no Miko's barrage of persuasive tactics, he could only reluctantly agree to temporarily not clarify his identity, allowing Yae no Miko to promote his book in a vague and ambiguous manner.

"Thank you for your understanding, Teacher Zhenyu."

Yae no Miko smiled, a mischievous glint flashing quickly in her eyes.

The first step of the plan has been achieved.

Seeing Xingqiu's expression, which seemed relieved that he hadn't been persuaded to wear women's clothing, Fangqiu sighed deeply.

That is to say, there is no Lu Xun in this world.

In that era of awakening, Mr. Lu Xun once said:

"Chinese people are always inclined to compromise and moderation. For example, if you say that the room is too dark and suggest opening a skylight, everyone will definitely object. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will compromise and agree to open a skylight."

Although the order is reversed, the principle should be similar.

Yae no Miko asked Xingqiu to help with publicity by dressing as a woman, but was refused. As a second choice, she asked Xingqiu to temporarily not clarify the gender rumors.

Xingqiu opted for a compromise.

After all, he would rather not clarify the rumors than wear women's clothing.

Chapter 361 The Traveler's Bizarre Adventure (Transitional Chapter)

But is it really that simple?

Is Yae no Miko's only goal to prevent Xingqiu from clarifying his gender?

Fang Qiu glanced at Yae no Kamiko, whose lips unconsciously curled into a smile as she drank.

She always felt that things weren't that simple.

But reason told her that it was better not to ask too many questions, otherwise Xingqiu wouldn't be the only one being persecuted.

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu couldn't help but swallow.

Sensing the glances directed at her and Paimon, Yae no Miko simply smiled and changed the subject.

I started chatting with them about local customs and traditions, and even invited them to visit Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Klee immediately became excited and expressed her desire to go.

That was the scenery that her brother Abedo had told her about.

She wanted to go and see.

Narukami Taisha Shrine?

shrine?

Fang Qiu was quite curious about the shrines in the anime from her previous life, such as shrine maidens, ema (votive plaques), and omamori (amulet).

Since Yae no Miko had invited him, and Klee was so looking forward to it, it seemed like a good idea to go and have some fun, so he didn't refuse.

After all, going out for fun won't get you persecuted.

"Then it's settled. I'll get back to work now. Enjoy your meal."

Seeing that Fang Qiu and the others agreed, Yae no Miko smiled faintly.

After exchanging a few words, Yae no Miko went back to her work.

After Yae no Miko left, Xingqiu sighed deeply, feeling somewhat melancholy.

He picked up the juice, took a big gulp, and said nothing more.

Fang Qiu and the others tacitly understood and did not mention what had just happened, continuing to eat their barbecue.

The banquet lasted for a full two hours.

"Traveler, we've finally made up for the losses we suffered from being tricked by that Divine Child last time, haven't we?"

After a hearty meal, Paimon patted his slightly protruding belly and said with a satisfied expression.

"That's it."

The traveler nodded.

"Last time?"

Fang Qiu was slightly taken aback.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Paimon recounted with indignation the whole story of how Yae no Kamiko had cheated them out of their royalties at Utopia Pavilion.

Fang Qiu was both amused and exasperated after hearing this.

No wonder Paimon ate so much; his belly was slightly bulging.

She had never seen Paimon eat so much before.

So there was a hidden story behind it all.

However, on another note, the Traveler and Paimon actually collaborated with Yaedo on a book.

"Travelers, what are the names of the books you write? I'd like to read them too."

Fang Qiu asked.

"I'm also a little curious about what kind of books people like Traveller and Paimon write."

"Sister Knight of Honor, Paimon, and Klee also want to read your books."

Xingqiu and Keli, who were standing nearby, also became interested.

"It's called 'The Traveler's Bizarre Adventure'."

Paimon puffed out his chest and said confidently, "How about it? Doesn't the name sound interesting? It sold quite well back then."

Upon hearing the name, Fang Qiu, who was drinking juice, almost spat it out.

A fantastic adventure?

Could it be the stand-in?

After a moment of surprise, Fang Qiu realized that it was probably just a coincidence of names...

After all, the Traveler and Paimon are always traveling, so they are bound to encounter some wonderful adventures.

For example, events like punching the Wind Demon Dragon, kicking Oser, and stepping on the Thunder General.

These experiences could easily be called wondrous adventures.

"The Traveler's Wonderful Adventure"—the title sounds like it tells the story of your adventures along the way.

Upon hearing the book title, Xingqiu stroked his chin and analyzed it carefully.

"more or less."

Paimon nodded and said, "Although the story is a bit bizarre."

"The story of the Honor Knight sister and Paimon's adventures? Klee wants to see it."

Klee's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly.

"I'm also somewhat interested."

Fang Qiu smiled and said.

She was also quite interested in reading about the traveler and Paimon's journey.

She was particularly interested in books that described the customs and culture of Teyvat.

It is said that Liyue Publishing is currently in discussions with Sumeru regarding potential collaborations.

Perhaps in a few days, I'll be able to buy Sumeru's book in Liyue.

It is said that Mount Sumeru is a land of wisdom.

By then, there should be quite a few books about nature and humanities.

Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma are three countries with different cultures, geography, and natural landscapes.

I just don't know what Sumeru is like.

She was really looking forward to it.

Of course, the book she was most looking forward to was "The Guide to Teyvat" written by Ms. Alice.

It includes descriptions of both human and natural elements, as well as Ms. Alice's interesting observations and reflections along the way.

It's less of a travel guide and more of a travel diary.

To write such an interesting book, I really want to know what kind of person Ms. Alice is.

Of course, the Teyvat Travel Guide also has its shortcomings.
