I write novels in Liyue

Lost face.

The cow exuded a powerful sense of oppression, making it a good time to stop updating.

However, Paimon and the Travellers came by during this time.

When I heard that she was writing the original story for the song "Daughter's Love," I immediately expressed my desire to read that part of the story.

So, she had no choice but to extend the storyline to the part about the Women's Kingdom.

The eighty-one tribulations.

This part of the story, which takes place after the Green Ox Demon in the original novel, is considered by many readers to be the most difficult ordeal for the pilgrims on their journey to the West.

So, she mischievously stopped the plot at the point before Tang Xuanzang made his choice.

To find out what happens next, please read the next volume.

Hehe.

This trick wasn't just used by those authors who only wrote short, fragmented chapters in the previous life; in this life, many storytellers in Liyue Harbor have mastered it to perfection.

Take, for example, another pillar of Heyu Tea House, the tea master.

Every time he tells a story, he gets to the most crucial point and then abruptly stops, leaving the audience wanting more.

I have to say, this trick is really effective.

Many listeners are so eager to hear the next show because of this.

The same applies to writing novels. Although interruptions may make readers feel uncomfortable, they are indeed the best way to encourage them to keep reading.

The more readers follow the story, the higher their creative passion will become.

That's why many authors in their past lives would ask for follow-up subscriptions or automatic subscriptions.

The higher the subscription rate, the more updates will be available.

Every subscription is a source of motivation for the author to keep writing.

If authors could achieve good subscription rates without interrupting their writing, which author would willingly choose to interrupt their writing?

After all, writing incomplete chapters is troublesome and can easily lead to criticism.

After saying goodbye to Sister Ying'er, I patted the lazy cat that was sleeping soundly on the sofa, which made it so angry that it wanted to scratch its silly owner who was grinning like an idiot.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

Don't argue with idiots.

Moreover, for the sake of the dried fish, let her off the hook.

Seeing Tingyu's angry yet helpless expression, Fang Qiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This guy, even though he can transform into human form, still sleeps like a cat every day.

It seems I'll have to ask Lord Liuyun Jiefeng to give it a good thrashing when I have some free time.

As she pondered these thoughts, she made her way out the door.

"The weather is getting colder and colder."

As soon as the door opened, a blast of crisp, cool air rushed in, and Fang Qiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Summer is over.

It's that time of year again when the Ice-attribute Eye of God is losing its power.

Sad.

Fang Qiu shrank back and headed towards the publishing house.

On the road.

Fang Qiu saw the old man again; he was playing cards with a young man.

"Little brother, it's my turn! This round will end your life!"

The old man looked excited, while the young man looked as if he had lost his parents.

What a sturdy old man.

At such an advanced age, playing cards with others so early in life.

However, then again.

Could this old man be some kind of immortal?

After all, Liyue Harbor is a place where immortals roam everywhere.

Shen He said that many immortals live in seclusion in the city, residing in Liyue Harbor.

This old man is so healthy and strong, and he's so good at playing cards, he might be some kind of immortal.

Perhaps the Rock King Emperor didn't die, but instead went into seclusion in the mortal world, transforming into this old man to play chess and cards.

hiss……

So, does that mean Mr. Zhongli is in great danger?

I beat this old man in chess and cards time and time again...

Who knows, the old man might secretly cast a curse on you, causing you to bump your toes on the corner of the table while walking at home.

Or rather, make sure Mr. Zhongli's gacha pulls in "Honkai Impact" don't yield any good results...

Very likely.

It's scary to think about it.

Speaking of which, I should probably find some time to continue writing "Honkai Impact".

Besides these acquaintances, I also heard a lot of interesting things that have happened in Liyue Harbor recently.

Upon arriving at the publishing house's editorial department, I immediately heard two authors complaining.

"the present"

"Readers are getting stranger and stranger. I used Fang Qiu's setting, flying on a sword, and some readers actually wrote to say that flying on a sword is very unsafe, and that it's easy to fall from the sky. They asked me to change it and put a railing on the flying sword to prevent the protagonist from falling and dying."

"You're lucky, it's like the readers are just teasing you. I get scolded by readers every single volume, it's so painful."

"Well, writing books requires a lot of resilience. Don't take it to heart when they criticize you; just treat it like they're criticizing a dog."

"Yeah... um... wait a minute, something feels off about what you just said?"

"What's so strange? You just tend to overthink things. Stop talking. The weather's nice today. Let's go out for lunch and relax."

As the two talked, Fang Qiu couldn't help but chuckle.

After greeting several female editors she knew, Fang Qiu walked to Bai Qing's desk.

She is talking to a female author.

I had only walked nearby when I overheard their conversation.

"Editor, how's my outline?"

"The story itself should be fine. Although it sounds a bit strange, if we keep things on the right track, it should be okay. It should be interesting. The problem is your name, the female teacher."

"What's wrong with the name?"

“Using Fang Qiu’s name as the protagonist is not quite right. I suggest you change it. No matter how much you like Fang Qiu’s books, you can’t just use her name as the protagonist.”

"Alright then, I'll change it. Hmm... how about Fang Dong? Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, it'll also connect me to Teacher Fang Qiu."

Looking at the somewhat excited girl in front of her, Bai Qing couldn't help but rub her forehead. She was about to say something when she saw Fang Qiu standing awkwardly to the side, so she subconsciously spoke up.

"Fang Qiu, you're here?"

Chapter 641 Journey to the West

"Teacher Fang Qiu is here?"

The girl instinctively turned her head and saw a white-haired beauty holding milk dumplings in both hands and a thick stack of papers tucked under her arm.

"Good morning, Sister Bai Qing."

The white-haired beauty smiled sweetly, handed one of the cups of milk tea with dumplings to Bai Qing, and said, "The weather is getting cold, have some hot drinks."

"Thank you."

Bai Qing accepted the cup of milk tea without ceremony and said, "Fang Qiu, why don't you sit down for a bit? We'll be done talking soon."

"Ah."

Fang Qiu nodded, placed the manuscript on the table, and then gave the girl a slight smile as a greeting.

Just as she was about to sit down on a chair, her hand was suddenly grabbed, which startled Fang Qiu so much that she almost spilled the milk tea in her hand all over her chest.

"You...you, are you Fang Qiu?"

The girl was so excited that she became somewhat incoherent.

"You... hello."

Fang Qiu shrank back slightly.

"You are my book fan... ah, no, I am your book fan. I have been reading your books since I was a child... ah, no, it was because of your books that I embarked on the path of writing books."

The girl exclaimed excitedly.

Thank you for liking it.

Fang Qiu was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This girl couldn't quite tell if she had social anxiety or just general social anxiety...

The former is social phobia, the latter is social terrorist.

If you call her the former, she dares to hold her own hand while speaking; if you call her the latter, her speech is intermittent.

After exchanging a few words, the girl realized she had been rude and quickly apologized before letting go of her hand.

"I never expected that Teacher Fang Qiu would actually be such a stunning beauty as the rumors say. She's really gorgeous. I knew it! How could someone who writes such intellectual pieces be a grumpy old man?"

The girl said, "By the way, Professor Fang Qiu, could you take a look at the outline for me and give me some suggestions?"

"Uh?"
