The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

Outside the cave, rain drizzled, and Yu Xianxian, who had finally found a hiding place, could only shiver inside.

She was genuinely trembling because she had just been soaked by this sudden, unsportsmanlike rain. She felt cold all over.

"After the rain in the empty mountains, autumn arrives in the evening. The fairy is so pitiful, she can only live in a cave..." It actually rhymes quite well.

A certain script: Not at all.

"How long are you going to keep arguing?"

Suffering from Yu Xianxian's strange verses, Si Tu covered his face. Even his battle with Shen Mengxi back then was not as brutal as spending half a day with this guy.

"Demon Lord, can't you use your precious magic to make me a small fire? If this continues, I'm really going to freeze to death."

"Don't worry, you're not in a life-threatening situation yet."

Yu Xianxian: ...So that means as long as she's not on the verge of death, this guy won't give her even the slightest glimmer of hope.

"No, I really will freeze to death. You'll have to find someone else to help with your health then."

"Don't you mortals even have the basic ability to start a fire?"

"Yes, but sorry, I'm useless."

For a shut-in who has never stepped outside the house in over twenty years, how can you expect her to start a fire without a lighter or matches?

Trying to start a fire by rubbing sticks together—believe it or not, Yu Xianxian actually did try. But the result was undoubtedly a failure. Yu Xianxian proved through practice that some things really can't be learned just by watching them on TV.

Si Tu was speechless upon hearing Yu Xianxian's sincere yet shameless reply.

As expected, Luo Jia was right. Mortals, though as weak as ants, can be quite formidable, yet some ants can make you miserable without you being able to kill them.

"You're the first person to keep testing my patience and still be alive. I advise you to leave a wish to ensure that I won't kill you first after I'm resurrected."

"Okay, I know without you having to tell me."

With a wave of her hand, Yu Xianxian sent black flames leaping onto the wood that she had been trying to ignite for half an hour. Instantly, the black flames burst forth, and it finally became a proper campfire.

"Stop bothering me, my patience is limited."

"Alright, sir, have a safe journey."

After saying that, Yu Xianxian took off her mask and stuffed it into her bosom. The movement was so smooth and the speed so silky. Tsk tsk tsk, she really had no feelings. She was just using him. Si Tu was definitely a tool.

Si Tu: ...Indeed, I should have let this woman freeze half to death before making my move. Oh well, if I don't agree, she'll definitely keep bothering me anyway, so I might as well get out of this misery sooner rather than later.

At this moment, Ku Hai Yu didn't care at all how the Dog Demon Lord was making fun of her. She was still thinking about how she would survive in this secret realm.

Although she's a complete homebody, Yu Xianxian also has an adventurous spirit.

So, for a while, she insisted on watching other people's wilderness survival videos at home every day. As for why it was for a while, it was because Yu Xianxian later felt that adventure was too far removed from her own life, so she went back to watching lighthearted and silly dramas.

If I had known this would happen, I would have watched it carefully back then. Now, all she knows how to do is sit by the fire and add firewood.

Fortunately, Yu Xianxian was clever. She had spent a lot of time coaxing and begging Ling Yao to give her a few more Bigu Pills, so food was not a problem at all. Just one Bigu Pill was enough to last her for half a month.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the food issue at all. What Yu Xianxian should really worry about is whether she will become food.

"Roar!" Just as she was thinking this, a roar belonging to a wild beast suddenly came from afar. Yu Xianxian stood up abruptly and then saw a scene of birds taking flight from the forest in the distance.

The distance wasn't too far, but it wasn't too close either. After thinking for a moment, Yu Xianxian decided that she should lay low for a while. What if that unknown retailer rushed over here and gave her a full-service funeral? Who would she complain to then?

Yu Xianxian picked up a piece of wood that could be used as a torch and walked into the cave. Before even reaching the entrance, Yu Xianxian had already confirmed with Si Tu that there were no spirit beasts in the cave, nor did it seem to be a spirit beast's lair. Moreover, the cave looked quite deep, so Yu Xianxian hadn't initially planned to go in.

But for now, it's best to go in and take a look first.

(Fun fact about the script: Because the fire is formed by magic, how long it burns depends entirely on Si Tu; it doesn't need any flammable material. Yu Xianxian added firewood to the fire earlier simply because she didn't want the wood she had worked so hard to collect to go to waste.)

Yu Xianxian didn't expect that just as she picked up the torch and turned to take two steps inside, a male voice came from behind her.

"I didn't expect those idiots on Spirit Beast Peak to lure the spirit beasts away. So I'll just have to..."

The abrupt halt in the voice told Yu Xianxian that she didn't need to turn around to know the other person had already seen her.

Shangguan Huan hadn't expected there to be anyone in the cave, and judging from the orange robe, this person should be the same Spirit Beast Peak member he had just called an idiot.

Shangguan Huan: ...Well, this is a bit awkward.

"Haha, I never expected to meet such a beautiful and charming fellow Daoist here. My apologies for not recognizing her."

Although he didn't see Yu Xianxian's face at all, his years of experience in flirting with girls told him that he should just compliment her on her looks first.

As it turns out, even a shameless person like Yu Xianxian would respond with a rather perfunctory smile upon hearing this.

After all, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and since the other party hasn't done anything that warrants a beating, they should naturally be treated with courtesy.

"Ahem, fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I just... wow, another handsome guy."

Shangguan Huan: ...How could someone say "Wow, another handsome guy"? I don't really understand, but "handsome guy" is supposed to describe a man, right? And this person in front of me...

Shangguan Huan looked her up and down. Hmm, although she seemed a little different from the ones he usually saw, she was indeed a woman.

Yu Xianxian was unaware that she had been categorized as "neither female nor male" by the other party, and simply stared at him with infatuation.

The red and white Taoist robe indicates that he is a disciple of the Spirit Weapon Peak. His peach blossom eyes are very alluring. He is the kind of man who you know is promiscuous, but you are still willing to take up the banner and charge forward.

Some playboys don't want to give every girl a home; rather, every girl wants him to give her a home. Shangguan Huan is one of those people.

At this moment, Yu Xianxian was moved.

After encountering the cunning old fox Fu Yan, the treacherous Luo Jia, and the scoundrel Si Tu, Yu Xianxian even wondered if she was developing a phobia of handsome men.

But as it turns out, she was still quite attracted to handsome men.
