I write novels in Liyue

The story wasn't finished?

She had initially thought that Tang Sanzang would settle in the Women's Kingdom since there weren't many pages left.

The result was good.

The plot just disappeared?

Or does the story end here?

Did the Queen of the Women's Kingdom and Tang Sanzang end up together like this?

Although there are still many things left unexplained, ending it here is not necessarily a bad thing.

However, when she flipped back to the cover, she discovered that it said "Volume 1" on the cover.

So, there's a second volume?

"Where's the second volume of 'Journey to the West'? Bring it out quickly."

Su Xiaoqi was a little impatient.

The following plot involves Tang Sanzang and the Queen of the Women's Kingdom together, while the other three embark on their journey westward to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

After all, in her view, the protagonist is Sun Wukong, not Tang Sanzang.

The role of Tang Sanzang is dispensable.

Logically speaking, Sun Wukong could also bring the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty in the East.

Although Tang Sanzang was highly accomplished in Buddhism, there were many other eminent monks in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, any eminent monk could be chosen and, using Mahayana Buddhism, could also enlighten the people, convene a grand Buddhist assembly to convert evil spirits in the underworld, and ensure the eternal stability of Emperor Taizong of Tang's empire.

Moreover, in her opinion, Sun Wukong is the undisputed protagonist, while Tang Sanzang is the second male lead. It's perfectly normal for the second male lead to get married halfway through the story and then disappear from the plot.

Thinking this, she looked expectantly at the thin man.

"Uh, the second volume hasn't been released yet..."

Feeling Su Xiaoqi's expectant gaze, the skinny guy awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"Not released yet?"

Su Xiaoqi was taken aback.

Only after the skinny man explained did Su Xiaoqi understand that the novel was being released in volumes.

They were reading the first volume; to read the second volume, they would have to wait for Fang Qiu to write the second book.

Moreover, the release time is unstable.

Although Fang Qiusu is known for his high productivity, he is also known for having liver all over his body.

However, works of the caliber of "Journey to the West" require significantly more time to write than usual.

Fang Qiu also wrote his previous book, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," much slower than his other works.

Hearing the skinny man's explanation, Su Xiaoqi felt annoyed and restless.

If it's going to be a long time before we can read the second volume, then why stop the story at such an exciting point?

Damn it!

I really want to know what happens next!

Isn't this deliberately teasing people and bullying honest people?

Seeing that Su Xiaoqi was a little unhappy, the skinny man's eyes lit up, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his lips.

Su Xiaoqi was indeed interested in Fang Qiu's book.

Although many unexpected events occurred during the process, the strategic goals have fortunately been achieved.

So he said, "Xiao Qi, let's go to the bookstore together and buy Qiu's completed works. After reading those books, the second volume of Journey to the West will be available."

"Previous works?"

Su Xiaoqi was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she left the Tinghai Pavilion, where the discussion about "Journey to the West" was in full swing, with the two groups of thieves and headed towards Wanwen Collection House.

Along the way, many people in the teahouses were discussing "Journey to the West," creating an unprecedentedly lively scene.

They arrived at Wanwenjishe, and the skinny man, despite the pain, bought the entire set of Fang Qiu's books in one go.

After buying the goods, at the teahouse in front of Wanwenjishe, there was a group of people going home to their respective mothers.

They happened to sit down there.

"Xiao Qi, which book should we read first?"

"What do you think?"

"Then let's go with the Legend of Sword and Fairy trilogy. I often hear people praising it."

The skinny man thought for a moment and then said.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

So, Su Xiaoqi found the Legend of Sword and Fairy trilogy among a pile of books.

She turned the pages of the book, and the story began with Jing Tian, ​​who was fast asleep.

Soon, Su Xiaoqi was completely captivated by the story of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

However, after reading for a while, Su Xiaoqi noticed that many readers around her were casting their gazes at her.

At first, Su Xiaoqi thought that her reading voice was disturbing other people.

However, Su Xiaoqi soon realized that something was wrong.

The gazes these people cast were not accusatory, but rather filled with expectation, and even... a little pity.

Several other people had smiles on their faces.

what's the situation?

Su Xiaoqi was very puzzled.

……

The moon casts shadows on the flowers, and snowflakes flutter and dance.

The lights of Liyue Harbor remain on.

Eat in the suburbs of Huyan.

The Qunyu Pavilion stands majestically amidst the swirling snow and wind, its lights shining brightly like a beacon floating in the night sky.

In the main hall of the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang closed the copy of "Journey to the West," her eyes slightly narrowed, a smile playing on her lips.

He said, "That's interesting. What do you think, Keqing?"

"It's very well written. Many things in the book are allusions to something."

Keqing thought for a moment and then said.

Although she disliked the power struggles in officialdom and the complexities of interpersonal relationships, and did not participate in them, as a member of the Jade Balance Star, she was not ignorant of them.

Fang Qiu's book contains many metaphors about officialdom, as well as a wealth of life experiences, interpretations of human relationships, and how to conduct oneself and handle affairs.

"It is not only a metaphor for officialdom, but also a warning and reminder to us."

Ningguang picked up her tea, took a sip, and said with a slightly serious expression, "After the Seven Stars took power, Liyue has completely entered the era of human rule. Without the guidance of the Emperor, the future of Liyue is in our hands. As for the problems that exist in those countries without divine rule in Fang Qiu's book, as well as some of the methods of doing things in the book, we, the Seven Stars, can learn a thing or two from them."

"Ah."

Ke Qing nodded in deep agreement.

She had only read half of Fang Qiu's book, but she had already learned a lot about how to handle things.

It's easy to imagine how much one can gain from reading the entire book and then carefully rereading it.

Thinking of this, Ke Qing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Indeed, I should have persuaded her to stay at Yujingtai more. With her abilities and knowledge, it would be a waste for her to just write books."

"That's not necessarily true."

Ningguang smiled faintly and said, "Fang Qiu's works are now being sold to other countries. Even the reporter from the Steambird Daily in Fontainebleau has contacted the publisher several times to interview Fang Qiu. If I hadn't been holding back, Fang Qiu's interview would probably have made the headlines. In other countries, Fang Qiu's name is known to almost everyone. In addition, the entertainment empire that she and I envisioned together will provide a lot of employment and development opportunities for Liyue."

"Ok."

Ke Qing sighed.

It's a pity, but it's what Fang Qiu wanted to do, and Ningguang's words weren't unreasonable.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Contact me again once the Lantern Festival event plan is revised. I'll go back and study this book carefully first."

Ke Qing stood up and said.

"I'll take you."

Ningguang also stood up and spoke.

"Need not."

Ke Qing shook her head and then left in a hurry.

After Ke Qing left, Ning Guang turned her gaze to the copy of "Journey to the West" on the table, her eyes narrowing slightly. She muttered to herself, "Fang Qiu, Fang Qiu, how many more surprises do you have in store for me? I'm getting more and more curious."

Chapter 658 Business Trip to Liyue

In Inazuma, the wind and snow howled, and the road was deserted.

Inazuma Castle was still brightly lit.

Naganohara Fireworks Shop.

"Xiaogong, the meal is ready. How's the soup coming along?"

"That's about it, Dad."

Nagano Hara Yoshimiya stretched and put down the book "Journey to the West" in his hand.

"The Monkey King Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. I'll tell the children this story tomorrow; they'll definitely love it."

Naganohara Yomi-miya muttered to herself as she went to find a towel to insulate the lid from the heat.

Although it snowed today, she still braved the heavy snow to buy books.

The story was very engaging and lived up to expectations.

Moreover, there was an unexpected surprise.
