"He truly is a hidden gem!"
She sincerely admired Chen Yuze's extraordinary abilities, but after a long while, Moxi shook her head with a wry smile:
"It's a pity that Young Master Chen doesn't write storybooks. Otherwise, if his superb drawing skills were added to a picture book, it would definitely be very popular in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It's not impossible that he could even take over the storybook market for human cultivators in the future."
"Even if the storybooks are very popular, it won't do me any good. I don't lack money, and I don't need fame. I can support myself by staying in Changqing Mountain."
"Eh?"
Hearing the sudden voice from behind, Moxi's body stiffened instantly.
After a long while, she turned around and asked, somewhat stiffly:
"Young Master Chen, when did you arrive?"
"You were just saying it was a pity I don't write storybooks," Chen Yuze said with a silly grin, scratching the back of his head as he looked at the painting hanging on the wall. "I just didn't expect that Miss Moxi would have such a high opinion of my painting."
"Ahem, Mr. Chen, you are too modest."
After dodging the question, Moxi quickly changed the subject: "However, Mr. Chen, I still can't quite agree with what you just said about not needing fame and money."
"Oh?" Raising an eyebrow, Chen Yuze turned around and started brewing tea at the wooden table in the living room. "Miss Moxi, may we sit down and talk in detail?"
"Actually, it's not to the point where we need to go into details."
Nodding, Moxi slowly analyzed:
"Based on my observations over the past few days, Young Master Chen, you must require a considerable amount of materials when brewing and making medicine, right? While some materials can indeed be obtained self-sufficiently through the herb garden in your backyard or by gathering herbs in the mountains, some rarer materials, or those that typically circulate only within the human cultivation world, are quite difficult to acquire. Although Young Master Chen could use the rare and precious materials in your courtyard for exchange, in my opinion, exposing these treasures would clearly do more harm than good. Moreover, Young Master Chen probably wouldn't want to rely on the power of Tushan or Qingqiu to acquire these materials for himself, would he?"
No, I really hope Qingqiu and Tushan can help!
Perhaps because he was used to a self-sufficient life, Chen Yuze had never thought of using the power of Qingqiu and Tushan to collect these materials that could be used in brewing and making medicine.
I finally came up with an idea after Moxi's suggestion, but Moxi's words just now completely blocked this path.
Chen Yuze was puzzled, very puzzled.
It seems that writing novels and storytelling is a viable way out.
Although Chen Yuze can continue to be salty as before, who knows when he might need to use those high-end materials.
To prepare for the future, he doesn't mind giving it his all.
"In that case, Moxi, why don't you take a look at what I wrote last night when I was bored?"
With that, Chen Yuze took Moxi's hand and walked towards the study on the second floor.
"Eh?"
After being pulled up the stairs by Chen Yuze, Mo Xi was clearly surprised that the young master Chen actually had some knowledge of the text.
"Young Master Chen, why...why did you ask me to come here?"
"Didn't you mention this when you were muttering to yourself just now? You must read storybooks to pass the time, and you should know better than me what kind of storybooks are more popular."
Chen Yuze was telling the truth.
Just like the online novels of his past life, although everyone has different tastes, the audience for "feel-good" novels is undoubtedly the largest.
He really didn't know as well as Mo Xi what the demon cultivators and immortal cultivators of this world liked to watch.
"arrive."
Upon arriving at the study, Chen Yuze immediately opened the cabinet and took out the three drafts he had written yesterday when he was bored.
"The Empress's Mister?"
Seeing the novel book title she had never seen before, Moxi's interest was immediately piqued.
130. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
"The Empress's kept man. First time, he's picked up a beautiful, fair-skinned wife?"
Her gaze slowly moved across the manuscript in her hands, and at first glance, Moxi was deeply intrigued by the slightly strange yet unique title.
In the world of cultivation, humans and demons devote the vast majority of their energy to cultivation. Therefore, there are very few things that can pass the time.
This can be seen from the fact that there is no mahjong in this world.
Therefore, storytelling became one of the few forms of entertainment available to people around the world.
However, due to the limitations of thought, most of the stories in this world are about heroes saving the world or lovers finally getting together.
Even those with exceptional writing skills can still produce flowing prose.
These are excellent works that will be passed down to future generations. However, everyone has read these themes to death, so even new versions of these stories will not be very interesting to read.
Thanks to this, Chen Yuze's new book, which is completely different from other storybooks on the market, will naturally feel novel and interesting.
"In March, during the Great Qian Dynasty, the current Empress Zhu Mufeng decided to travel incognito to observe the situation of the people."
"The faction in the court, led by the Left Chancellor, also took this opportunity to gradually reveal their ambitions. When the Empress went on an incognito visit, they sent assassins to kill her."
"With the desperate protection of his three trusted confidants, Zhu Mufeng managed to find a glimmer of hope, but he had no choice but to hide his identity and wander in Qingshan City."
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Just when Zhu Mufeng was penniless and thirsty, a handsome young man appeared in front of her.
"And he is none other than Xia Anlun, the number one playboy in Qingshan City!"
Don't be fooled by the fact that these themes had already been overused by online novelists in Chen Yuze's previous life. But in this world of cultivation novels where stories are all the same, it's guaranteed to be a hit!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he opened a completely new door to the fundamental principles of this world.
For example, right now, Moxi, who had never read this kind of storybook before, flipped through the three draft chapters that Chen Yuze had written last night several times, her face full of a look of unsatisfaction.
"So, Miss Moxi, what do you think of this story I wrote on a whim?"
"Written casually?" A look of shock flashed across her eyes, but after realizing that the words were originally written by Young Master Chen, Mo Xi quickly understood.
"call--"
After taking a deep breath, Moxi gave her very candid opinion:
My assessment is—hurry up!
"?"
Seeing the genuine excitement on Moxi's face, Chen Yuze was somewhat bewildered.
"Miss Moxi, are you saying that my storybook is not bad?"
"It's really great! It's super fun!"
Baby handed the three pages of draft back to Chen Yuze. Now, Meixi's mind was filled with thoughts of what other stories might unfold between Zhu Mufeng and Xia Anlun.
If Moxi's feelings for Chen Yuze before were a mixture of respect and admiration...
So now, she is Chen Yuze's most loyal number one fan.
After all, Moxi had anonymously tried both drawing and writing storybooks. But the results were quite unsatisfactory.
It was because she had experienced it firsthand that she understood just how amazing Chen Yuze was, being able to master both drawing and writing storybooks to such an extent.
This is absolutely the epitome of a treasure trove of a young master!
"Young Master Chen, have you considered adding some illustrations to this storybook with your artistic skills? I guarantee it will be a huge hit!"
"That's a good idea." Chen Yuze nodded, then looked Meixi up and down:
“Miss Moxi, may I use you as the model for Zhu Mufeng’s portrait? She is the empress of the human dynasty, while you are the empress of Tushan. If you are the model, I should be able to capture the empress’s demeanor better. Of course, if Miss Moxi thinks my suggestion is abrupt, just pretend I didn’t mention it. I can ask Bai Hua later.”
"I am willing!"
Upon hearing Chen Yuze say he was going to find Bai Hua, Mo Xi agreed almost without hesitation.
Moxi was certain that this story had extraordinary potential. Rather than letting that brat Bai Hua's sister benefit from it, she'd rather do it herself!
Moreover, if Bai Hua knew that Young Master Chen had used her as the model for the female protagonist in the storybook, she might be furious.
Moxi could even picture Bai Hua's impotent rage.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Miss Moxi."
In reality, Chen Yuze had only mentioned it casually. He didn't expect Meixi to agree so readily.
However, this way, when describing Zhu Mufeng later, he could write based on Mo Xi's appearance and personality, saving him a lot of effort in thinking for himself.
"Speaking of which, how does Young Master Chen plan to draw the male protagonist, Xia Anlun?"
Perhaps because the female protagonist was based on herself, Mo happy also developed a strong interest in the prototype of the other protagonist in the book.
According to the book's description of Xia Anlun, although he was the number one playboy in Qingshan City, he was also dashing and handsome.
Meixi thinks that using Young Master Chen as a model is quite good.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuze doesn't seem to think that way.
"That's easy!"
As if he had already figured out how to portray the male protagonist, Chen Yuze immediately shared his thoughts with Moxi: "Moxi, what do you think of Lao Bai? Although my brother always refers to himself as 'mine,' he's actually quite handsome if you don't know how he talks. I heard his nickname when he was young was 'Little Cream.'"
"???"
Squinting and tilting his head.
The words "You must have some serious illness" almost slipped out of Moxi's mouth.
"Young Master Chen, I think this is inappropriate!"
"Huh?" Chen Yuze scratched his head, puzzled.
"Young Master Chen, haven't you always said that Old Bai is henpecked? When you used him as the model for the male protagonist in the book, did you ask his wife's opinion?"
? ”
"This……"
Touching his chin, Chen Yuze realized that what Moxi said made a lot of sense.
With Old Bai's henpecked nature and Meow Meow's domineering personality, if Old Bai were actually used as a character design, Meow Meow would probably break all five of his tiger legs.
"You're right, we can't break up other people's families."
With a sigh, Chen Yuze was clearly troubled by the male protagonist's image again.
"So, Young Master Chen, why don't you look in the mirror and copy your own image?"
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
