The reeds swayed in the wind, and a single reed fluff floated up, crossing the rippling water and heading towards Wangshu Inn.

Wangshu Inn.

roof.

Xiao sat on the roof, picked up the reed catkins that had drifted onto him, and then looked up at the sky.

The vast Milky Way stretches across the night sky, its stars twinkling, just as it did five hundred years ago…

He sighed deeply, his expression somber...

However, his expression suddenly darkened, and he transformed into a gust of wind, flying towards a certain place in Dihua Island. Just as several Hilichurls shrouded in black aura attacked a passing merchant, the Hepu Kite in his hand transformed into several spears, piercing into the bodies of those Hilichurls.

Amidst the gratitude of several merchants, they flew back to Wangshu Inn.

However, he had only just settled down.

Then a voice rang out from downstairs.

"Immortal, I've prepared some delicious dishes today, including almond tofu. Would you like to come down and try some?"

On the terrace, Yan Xiao and the others waved to him.

……

……

P.S.: I was terrified yesterday. I had an upset stomach, and after finally recovering, I was really struggling. I only slept for two hours out of the past thirty-plus hours, and then I just couldn't fall asleep. While I was writing, I suddenly lost consciousness. I was sitting on the sofa typing, and then in an instant, my body went out of control and I fell down. My phone even flew out of my hand... Luckily, it wasn't broken. After falling, I regained consciousness and was so scared that I immediately went to sleep. I'm taking a day off and will update tomorrow during the day. I was really scared; it was the first time I felt death was so close...

Volume 1: Chapter 441 (Part 2)

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Liyue Harbor.

The sky was cloudless and the weather was clear.

At the entrances of major bookstores, crowds of novel lovers lined up in long queues, waiting for the bookstores to open.

In front of Wanwenjishe.

Have you heard?

"What did you hear?"

"Over there in Sumeru, there is something called a Void Terminal. I heard that people from Sumeru can use that Void Terminal as long as they are within the territory of Sumeru."

"Void terminal? What's that?"

"With your intelligence, you might have a hard time understanding the theory I'm explaining. So, let me give you a direct example. For instance, Fang Qiu's new book, 'The Moon is Beautiful,' can be downloaded directly from the virtual terminal by the publisher. Without reading it, the content can be absorbed into the reader's mind."

"Holy crap? There's something this convenient? You don't even have to wait in line? But how do you pay for it?"

"Hiss, you know what, you've really hit the nail on the head with your question. I'll ask that Sumeru man who makes spices another day. But what you should be shocked about is that you can have the content implanted into your brain without even reading it. It's like buying it is the same as reading it."

"What's so interesting about that? In my opinion, the enjoyment of reading isn't the goal, but the process of reading. It's like the wedding night; do you only enjoy the result? Of course, you enjoy taking off the bride's clothes piece by piece, looking at her shy, pretty face, touching her all over, making her pant softly, and then..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Talking about this in public will make you look like a pervert."

In short, I enjoy the process of reading.

"But the people of Sumeru don't have to queue..."

"Thinking about it carefully, pursuing the result isn't so bad. When pursuing someone you love, who wouldn't want to skip the pursuit process and directly achieve the result of being with the person they love?"

"Why do you always use examples like this? Are you thinking about finding a partner lately?"

"Yeah, my neighbor Qiang got married! What am I going to do? He's only two years older than me!"

As everyone discussed, the first rays of summer morning sunlight shone upon the land of Liyue.

So, Wanwenjishe opened its doors.

The crowd surged.

"Hahaha, the door's finally open! I'm the first one there!"

So, the burly man at the front of the line walked up to the counter with a big laugh.

"Sir, what kind of book would you like to buy?"

The shop assistant asked politely.

"Give me a copy of 'The Moon Shines Brightly'."

"Excuse me, besides 'The Moon Shines Beautiful,' do you need any other books?"

"No more."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

So, under the disdainful gazes of everyone who thought, "This guy keeps calling himself 'this great man,' so arrogant. I thought he was a rich guy, but he only bought one copy of 'The Moon Shines Beautiful,'" Araki Ichito left with a copy of "The Moon Shines Beautiful."

"Give me a copy of 'What to Do? As the leader of a treasure-hunting group, all my subordinates are Thousand Rock Army spies,' then another copy of 'Severely Injured, I Became a Cat and Was Adopted by a Beautiful Girl,' and then yet another copy of 'Severely Injured, I Became a Pig and Was Adopted by a Beautiful Girl.'"

"Wait a minute, bro, the books you're reading are way too outrageous! Turning into a cat and being adopted is one thing, but turning into a pig and being adopted is another? Would a decent pretty girl adopt a pig?"

"They're different. The former is a story about a cat-like beautiful girl becoming her master's companion and embarking on the path to godhood together, while the latter is a food-themed story."

"A...food novel? The protagonist gets eaten by a beautiful girl? What kind of book is this...has Inatsume-sensei gone mad?"

"The darkness within a person's heart is unpredictable. Just like when Fang Qiu, that old scoundrel, first published his book, someone had already started using it on their cat before it even turned into a beautiful girl..."

"Dude, stop talking, I'm feeling nauseous..."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

downstairs.

Tavern.

Looking at the long queue, the tavern owner was a little worried.

Although many people come to the tavern for drinks after reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", most of them come to express their lofty ambitions.

In other words, they came to drink and boast.

Although the alcohol consumption wasn't very high—we only ordered one or two bottles—the conversation started to flow freely.

The income was far less than that of Fang Qiu's previous novel, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Only when Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu died did some people come and drink some wine.

Headache……

She sighed and was about to take a look at the contents of "The Moon Is Beautiful" when she saw Zhongli walk into the store.

"Mr. Zhongli, this is your portion."

She picked up a copy of "The Moon Is Beautiful" and handed it to Zhongli, saying...

Thank you.

Zhongli took the book, took out her wallet to pay, but realized that although she had brought her wallet, she had forgotten to put Mora in it...

"As usual, I will put it in the account of the Rebirth Hall."

The tavern owner naturally saw this scene and immediately spoke up.

Thank you.

Zhongli thanked him again and turned to leave. Then he saw a familiar but long-lost figure sitting quietly by the window of the tavern, reading a book.

It's him.

Master Chang.

He had also heard about Master Chang from Hu Tao.

When Chang Jiuye's beloved childhood sweetheart died, he was depressed for a long time. Finally, with Hu Tao's encouragement, he resolved to make his name resound throughout Teyvat and to let the world of the dead spread his name everywhere.

He let his deceased childhood sweetheart hear the name of Chang Jiuye, the greatest writer in Teyvat.

For one person alone, I would give everything.

Although it was just a small act of love, it still reflects the brilliance of humanity.

"He hasn't been to the tavern in a long time. I went to ask him and he said he finished writing his new work today and submitted it to Liyue Publishing House. It just so happens that Fang Qiu's new book is being released, so he came to the tavern to sit for a while."

When the tavern owner saw Zhongli looking at Master Chang, she offered an explanation.

"I see."

Zhongli nodded and said, "Take a cup of his favorite wine to him and put it on the bill of the Rebirth Hall."

"it is good."

The tavern owner nodded.

Then, Zhongli took the book and turned to leave.

He had just stepped out of the tavern when he encountered Araki Ichito, who was coming downstairs with a book in his hand.

"Hahaha, what a coincidence, Brother Zhongli, are you here to buy books too? Hmm? Wait, how come you have Fang Qiu's new book? Wasn't I first in line?"

Araki Ichito had just finished greeting them when he saw that Zhongli was holding a book that was exactly the same as the one he was holding, and he was stunned.

"A brother of one."

Zhongli smiled, greeted them, and then explained the tavern's book distribution system to Huanglong Yidou.

"Hahaha, I see."

Araki Ichito suddenly realized, and then said, "In Liyue's words, since we've met, it must be fate. Let's find a place to read together."

"That's fine too."

Zhongli nodded.

"Let's go to that place over there. I have some Mora left, so it's on me."

"No need to be polite. You've come all this way to be a guest, so let me pay the bill."

"Hahaha, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Next time you come to Inazuma, the whole bill is on me!"

"Then thank you very much, Brother Yidou."
