I write novels in Liyue

Some people get so engrossed in reading that they might stop by the tavern for a few drinks, but sales are just too low…

Sad.

She took a big gulp of green apple cider to drown her sorrows, then continued reading.

However, she was taken aback after watching Liu Bei and Cao Cao discuss heroes over green plums and wine.

It wasn't that she was shocked by the verbal exchange between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but rather that she suddenly thought of a small business opportunity.

That's the plum wine from the book.

If I could replicate the plum wine from the book, I might be able to make a considerable profit by taking advantage of the immense popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

However, I still need to talk to Miss Fang Qiu about this.

We need to start preparing quickly, so we don't let others seize the opportunity.

If Miss Fang Qiu wants to develop her own brand and acquires the plum wine, the tavern's business will improve significantly.

She thought to herself that she would go and talk to Miss Fang Qiu tomorrow, and also ask about the book.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle, feeling much better. Just then, a few drinkers started discussing the contents of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"This arrangement of discussing heroes over wine is truly ingenious. It seems to be about discussing the heroes of the world, but in reality, it is not."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

What are your thoughts, sir?

Hearing that someone wanted to express their opinion, the tavern owner also cast a curious glance at them.

She... couldn't figure it out...

Wasn't it just that Cao Cao belittled all the other warlords and then said that the only heroes in the world were himself and Liu Bei?

Especially the skeletons in that tomb.

"In fact, the two men had the same view on the heroes of the world. Liu Bei's evaluation of the previous ones was based on fame and power, which was an exaggeration; Cao Cao's evaluation was based on character, which was a real denigration. The reason why Liu Bei emphasized external factors and exaggerated these people was, of course, to pretend to be weak. After Cao Cao pointed out that the only heroes of the world were you and me, Liu Bei pretended to be frightened by lightning. This seemingly frightened scene was actually Liu Bei's way of yielding to Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao temporarily put aside his murderous intent."

After taking a sip of wine, the drinker said, "That's why Liu Bei fled in haste later on. He could hide for a while, but not forever. Sooner or later, this dragon who kept his true form hidden would be discovered by Cao Cao, this dragon who stirred up clouds and breathed out mist."

"I never expected there to be such verbal battles."

"How come I didn't think of that? This plot is really amazing."

After listening, the tavern owner nodded in understanding and asked the waiter to bring the customer a pot of wine as a treat.

The drinker immediately expressed his gratitude.

The proprietress smiled faintly and turned her gaze towards the door.

The rain was still drizzling outside, and the streetlights were reflected in the puddles on the street.

However, the rain fell heavily into the puddles, creating ripples, and the lights reflected in the puddles were blurred into an indescribable glow.

Time slipped away amidst the sound of rain.

Before you know it, it's morning.

The rain hasn't stopped.

In front of the Hall of Rebirth, a few green leaves of the osmanthus tree fell due to the wind and rain, while the ground beside the osmanthus tree was covered with fallen flowers that only bloom in spring.

The second floor of the Rebirth Hall.

The candle burned all night, its flame flickering and illuminating the entire room with its warm light.

Zhongli sat at his desk, quietly flipping through the pages of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The first volume of Romance of the Three Kingdoms has reached its final chapter.

In the book, it is Guan Yu who flooded Cao Cao's seven armies, making his name famous throughout the world.

In this battle, Fang Qiu also used his writing skills to the fullest extent, vividly portraying Guan Yu's image as a man of both literary and martial talents.

This adds a rich and colorful touch to the end of this volume.

"Um……"

After finishing the last volume of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhongli nodded in admiration.

Just as Zhongli was about to savor the previous plot again, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

"Zhongli, Zhongli, are you awake?"

Zhong Li paused, sighed, closed the book, got up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Master?"

Zhongli asked.

"I knew you weren't asleep, Zhongli. Have you read Fang Qiu's new book? What do you think? Do you like it?"

Hu Tao smiled mischievously and asked.

"Very good."

Zhongli replied, "From a purely rational perspective, it's almost flawless. As for whether I like it or not, personally, I really enjoy this book."

"That's fine."

Hu Tao burst into laughter upon hearing Zhong Li's comment.

"The sect leader came to see me so early in the morning, surely it wasn't just to ask me what I thought of Miss Fang Qiu's new book?"

Zhongli asked with a faint smile.

"Today is the day Fang Qiu and the Traveler are selling their card game, so I thought I'd ask you to go buy some with me."

Hu Tao smiled and said, "How about it? Want to come along? So you don't forget your wallet if you go alone."

"I see."

Zhongli nodded and said, "Since the Hall Master has invited me, there is naturally no reason not to go. However, please wait a moment, Hall Master."

"Row."

Hu Tao waved her hand and said somewhat anxiously, "However, you should hurry up. Although most people haven't finished reading 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' the earlier parts are already quite captivating. I'm sure a lot of people will line up at the surrounding stores. If you're late, it will be too late."

"Don't worry, Master."

Zhongli glanced helplessly at Hu Tao, turned back to his desk, placed the closed copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" into the antique shelf, and then turned to leave with Hu Tao.

They went downstairs.

Old Meng and Yi Guan's younger sister were fast asleep, each slumped over a table, with a half-read copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" beside them, and covered with a custom-made plush blanket from Wangshengtang.

"The two of them aren't in good health. They couldn't stay awake until late at night and fell asleep. It was I who covered them with blankets."

Hu Tao shook her head, then her eyes lit up, and she said, "Zhong Li, what do you think? Should I send the employees of Wang Sheng Tang to martial arts schools to train their bodies, and at the same time promote Wang Sheng Tang's new packages to those martial arts schools? After all, practicing martial arts is a high-risk profession; who knows, someone might die one day?"

"Master, let's discuss this matter further."

Zhongli said, "If we don't leave now, we'll have to wait in a long line."

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about the important matter. It's still raining outside. Here, take your umbrella."

Hu Tao handed over an umbrella.

"Thank you, Master."

Zhongli took the umbrella and opened it. The words "Wangshengtang Special Offer" covered the entire umbrella surface.

Below those words is the latest special offer package from Wangshengtang.

Looking at the umbrella, Zhongli fell silent.

"How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"

Hu Tao asked with a smile, "These are a batch of umbrellas I ordered recently."

"That was quite unexpected."

Zhongli nodded and said, "However, Master, I'll use my own umbrella."

"Fine, fine, whatever you want."

Hu Tao waved her hand, opened an umbrella with a sign that read "Special Offer," and walked into the rain.

This child...sigh...is a real headache.

Watching Hu Tao walk in the rain with an umbrella, Zhong Li sighed helplessly, opened an umbrella (made sure it hadn't been tampered with), and stepped into the pouring rain, following behind his master.

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle, as soft as butter, fell steadily without any sign of stopping.

At this moment, in the Jade Pavilion.

The Jade Pavilion is perched high up, and the wind around it is much stronger than in Liyue Harbor. Bai Shi has prepared his clothes and is heading towards Ning Guang's bedroom.

"A purple silk bodice embroidered with golden phoenix patterns, a gossamer-feather gauze skirt...hehe..."

As Bai Shi walked, he muttered to himself, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

A great person like Lady Ningguang, who is busy with countless affairs every day, naturally cannot waste her great wisdom on trivial matters such as choosing clothes.

As the secretary of Qunyu Pavilion, she naturally had no choice but to take on all the responsibilities for Lady Ningguang.

Just thinking about Ningguang's back as she changed clothes, and her jade-like body after bathing...

She just...she just...

As she approached Miss Ningguang's boudoir, she quickly shook her head, clearing her mind of those jumbled thoughts. She coughed and knocked on Lady Ningguang's door.

"Enter."

Soon, there was a response from inside the house.

It was Ningguang's voice.

She pushed open the door, only to find that Lady Ningguang was not sleeping in bed as usual.

Instead, he lay lazily on his side on the bouncy bomb plush toy that Fang Qiu had recommended, reading a book, even though the bouncy bomb plush toy looked rather childish... well... childish...

But when Lady Ningguang lay on her side, she possessed a unique elegance and grace... and a touch of allure...

There was not a hint of awkwardness.

"Lady Ningguang, are you still awake?"
