I write novels in Liyue

"Could it be that you are the legendary..."

"What?"

"Mentally challenged."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and a few people almost came to blows.

Those who were clamoring to throw tomatoes earlier have already had their tomatoes on the ground.

Tomato juice was splattered all over the ground.

Behind Su Xiaoqi, the two members of the treasure-hunting gang, one fat and one thin, were so frightened that they dropped the steamed buns they were holding to the ground.

"My goodness! She's Fang Qiu?"

The skinny man's eyes widened.

"What? You know him?"

Su Xiaoqi was looking at the woman on the stage with admiration when she heard the voice behind her and subconsciously turned around to ask.

"Uh...I've seen him on the street..."

The skinny man hesitated for a moment, then quickly spoke before the fat man could.

Su Xiaoqi must not find out about this, otherwise their relationship is definitely over.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu turned out to be an enemy!

The two of them even blocked her keyhole...

Not only that, they were also brutally beaten by Fang Qiu...

They were really ruthless...

They showed no mercy whatsoever. If the two of them hadn't slid to their knees and begged for mercy at lightning speed, they would probably still be lying in Bubulu right now.

Unexpectedly, that killing god was Fang Qiu...

"You're on stage! It's been a long time, little one."

Inside the VIP room, Yae no Miko smiled slightly.

After Fang Qiu's thank-you speech, the awards ceremony concluded, and then Fang Qiu's lecture journey officially began.

Fang Qiu was generous in sharing her writing experience, helping some of the shortlisted books by pointing out their strengths and weaknesses.

The authors all pulled out paper and pens and began to take notes.

Su Xiaoqi and the others, in particular, were writing furiously down every single word Fang Qiu uttered.

As they talked, it became afternoon.

The meeting adjourned temporarily, and after dinner, the book signing event began.

However, many readers did not leave, but instead rushed to Fang Qiu's stall and formed a long queue.

"I initially thought that the white-haired beauty was just an actress hired by the publishing house to fabricate Fang Qiu's identity, but after listening to her insights on the novel and answering the author's questions fluently, I can be fairly certain that she is Fang Qiu herself."

“I’ve told you before that Miss Fang Qiu is very beautiful, but you wouldn’t listen and even said that she was an old man.”

"Who could have known that such a young girl could write so many excellent, even timeless, works, as well as those magnificent poems?"

"Exquisitely talented and stunningly beautiful, there is no one else like her in the world."

"That's not quite right. Let's not go too far. Take Tianquan Ningguang for example. Although she is slightly less talented, she is also very successful in business. The two are equally matched."

"Indeed, Lord Yuheng Star is no less impressive."

"Speaking of Lord Yuheng Star, Fang Qiu's new tunnel and flood control dike design are truly exceptional."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about the new volume of 'Collapse'."

"What's there to say? We don't accept gifts during the Lantern Festival, except for new character sculptures. You should know what to bring when you come to my house, right?"

"It is said that, in order to celebrate the Lantern Festival, the new volume of Honkai Impact 3rd, the Deluxe Collector's Edition, includes a free 10-pull gacha pull for the Ideal Girl character."

"Hiss... Is this really so generous? Looks like I have no choice but to fight. I've saved up quite a few Mora this year."

"May the Rock King bless me, may I be able to kill him in one shot."

At this moment, Zhongli was sitting next to Hu Tao. Hu Tao patted Zhongli's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll just go backstage and ask someone to get a few deluxe collector's editions of 'Honkai Impact' and have Fang Qiu sign them for me."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."

Zhongli nodded.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Hu Tao waved her hand, in a very good mood.

"The sect leader seems to be in a good mood. Has something good happened?"

Zhongli asked with a faint smile.

"You'll see later. Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Hu Tao waved her hand and turned to leave.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, urging Fang Qiu to sign a few more books as a year-end bonus for Wangshengtang.

"Take care, Master."

After Hu Tao left, Zhong Li got up and walked towards the tavern downstairs from Wanwenji House.

VIP room.

Yae no Miko also received the new book, which she distributed to Ayaka Kamisato and the others before taking the book into General Raiden's private VIP room.

Yura and Amber, thanks to their status as members of the Knights and with Abel's help, were able to get the books backstage in advance.

Nel and the others received the new book under the guidance of the Traveler and Paimon.

Along the way, Araki Ichito and Hisaki Shinobu also followed the travelers to the backstage area.

Wendy, all alone, went to queue up early by herself.

Fang Qiu didn't have time to eat anything special. She just ate some casual work lunch and then started the book signing event with the other shortlisted authors.

After the book signing began, major bookstores also started putting the new volume of "Collapse" on their shelves.

For a time, the entire Liyue Harbor was bustling with activity and filled with noise.

Many novel lovers who bought the book found a nearby teahouse, sat down, and couldn't wait to open "The New Volume of Collapse".

Chapter One, "Elegy for a Sinner".

The story continues after "The Meteor in the Sky".

Chapter 694 How can sweet pepper curry be spicy...?

Inside the teahouse, Zhong Li picked up the fragrant tea in his hand, a top-quality tea from Qiaoying Manor, and took a small sip.

So he opened the beautiful book cover.

The story continues from the previous one.

In "Sky Meteor," Kiana, like a shooting star flying against the current, streaks across the sky.

The bomb was detonated on top of it.

The citizens of Sky Dome City looked up at the spectacular sight in the sky, unaware that a girl had given everything for the entire city.

The girl plummeted from the sky like a kite with a broken string, while Mei anxiously chased after the falling meteor on the ground.

She wanted to save Kiana.

The next moment, a dazzling white light shot into the sky, and countless plants surrounded the wounded Kiana as she landed safely. A blonde woman wielding a huge white and blue spear and wearing white and blue armor appeared beside Kiana.

Valkyrie Durandal, the possessor of the Divine Key Black Abyss White Flower, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, stood in front of Mei, who was ordered to take Kiana and Kaslana away.

Under Durandal's terrifying power, Raiden Mei had no chance of winning.

"It's not over yet... I won't hand Kiana over to you!"

Mei knelt on one knee, panting heavily, but her eyes were full of determination.

She wants to bring Kiana back.

"Not bad eyes, but you don't yet have the power to match that will."

Durandal glanced at Mei indifferently, then turned and leaped into the air with Kiana, shooting towards the sky like a flash of light.

In an instant, it disappeared from sight.

She was left all alone.

Mei chased after the light with all her might in the direction it had gone until she collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her face.

"I can't do anything..."

Mei's body trembled, her face filled with resentment, regret, and self-blame...

The most important person in her life was taken away so easily, and she... could do nothing about it...

If she were stronger, she could defeat the Queen and save Kiana; if she were stronger, she could resolve the crisis in Sky City for Kiana; if she were stronger, she could defeat Durandal and bring Kiana back to the Hyperion…

But... she was too weak...

I can't do anything...

At that moment, she completely broke down, tears streaming down her face...

Fang Qiu's description of this relationship is extremely powerful; the complex emotions seem to overflow from the pages of the book.

"Power?"

Zhongli fell silent, and after a long while, he sighed.

Perhaps, sometimes, having power really can change a lot.

Not just ordinary people.

The same applies to deities.

If he were any stronger, perhaps...

"Never mind..."
