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

"Hiss, are you two alright?"

"Cough cough, still alive."

"I think I'm dying. Oh, dear grandparents, mom and dad, I think I can see you."

With a "poof," a flame ignited at Shangguan Huan's fingertip, adding a bit of light to the pitch-black fish belly.

Bai Ge squatted down and patted Yu Xianxian, who was still dreaming, finally managing to pull her back from her reverie, even though she had already seen the bridge.

"Ahhh, what happened? Weren't we eaten by fish? Hey, did you all come here to be reincarnated together?"

Bai Ge: ...Okay, it seems you're still not quite sober.

"Cough cough, get up, we're not dead yet."

"Hey, he's not dead. That's strange. Then why do I see my family waving at me?"

Yu Xianxian sat up, scratching the back of her head, only to find that they were still inside the ball, which was floating on some kind of unidentified liquid.

"It seems this must be inside the fish's stomach."

"Stomach? Then is all that gastric juice down there?"

Yu Xianxian silently curled her legs up. Ugh, how disgusting.

"It seems that's the case. The ball has saved us for now, but we can't stay here for long. These liquids are constantly corroding the ball, and if we stay here any longer, we'll eventually become food for the fish."

"That's true, but how do we get out?"

"That's easy, just rupture the stomach, right?"

As she spoke, a sharp, long wooden splinter appeared in Bai Ge's hand. She used all her strength to stab it in all directions, but all she got in return was a "crack" as the splinter broke.

"What belly? It's so hard!"

Bai Ge threw away the wooden splinter and turned to look at Shangguan Huan: "Young Master Shangguan, why don't you try to burn this fleshy wall?"

"My flames are too weak, I'm afraid that won't work. And my magical artifacts don't have high offensive capabilities either, so they're probably useless as well."

"Really? That's troublesome. It would be great if there were a sword cultivator here at this time."

"Fellow Daoist Bai, don't you have any spirit beasts available? As long as it's a contracted spirit beast, it should be able to be summoned at any time, right? If we had a spirit beast that was big enough, we might be able to burst the fish's belly, and then we could get out."

"I don't have a contracted beast that big."

"And what about Fellow Daoist Yu?"

"Oh, I don't have any either."

Just kidding, Yu Xianxian doesn't even have a single contracted beast.

"Really? That's troublesome."

Just as the three were at a loss, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"That's strange, there are still people here."

Upon hearing the voice, Yu Xianxian turned around and, sure enough, saw Su Jin'er, who was standing on the Azure Blood Sword, floating in mid-air.

It's Jin'er! Good! Maybe there's hope.

But when Yu Xianxian's eyes fell on the person behind her, she couldn't smile anymore.

Yun... Senior Sister Yun, what's she doing here? And with Su Jin'er, are they teaming up for the competition?

No, no, no, that's not the point. The point is, Senior Sister Yun is here. If she finds out I secretly came to participate in the competition, ugh...

If it were just Su Jin'er, it could be easily fooled by Ling Bai's identity, but now there's also Yun Meng...

Yu Xianxian quietly moved behind Bai Ge, thinking it best not to be discovered.

"You were also swallowed up? Oh, nice magic artifact."

"You flatter me, beautiful fellow Daoist. May I ask your name?"

“Spirit Sword Peak, Su Jin’er.”

After saying that, she nudged Yunmeng behind her with her raised elbow, and the other person could only continue, "Spirit Medicine Peak, Yunmeng."

"Lingyao Peak Yunmeng, isn't that... Hey, Yu Xian, when did you get behind me?"

Upon hearing the words "Lingyao Peak Yunmeng," a glint flashed in Shangguan Huan's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"So you are fellow disciples from Spirit Sword Peak and Spirit Medicine Peak. I am Shangguan Huan from Spirit Weapon Peak."

Then, he turned to the side, making room for Bai Ge in the center position, which Bai Ge immediately understood.

"Spirit Beast Peak, Bai Ge."

Then, she turned to the side, but seeing that Yu Xianxian was still sitting there without reacting, she simply said on her behalf, "This is my junior sister from the Spirit Beast Peak, Yu Xian."

Yu Xian? That name sounds so similar...

Su Jin'er, in particular, frowned as she looked at the mask on Yu Xianxian's face. Although Yun Meng had seen Yu Xianxian wearing a mask before, she hadn't paid any attention to it, but Su Jin'er was different. She had a very deep impression of the mask, so she recognized it at a glance.

But the other party was clearly wearing the attire of a Spirit Beast Peak disciple, and judging from the way they were looking down, it seemed as if they didn't recognize them at all.

Yunmeng, on the other side, was thinking the same thing. It seemed that not only the name, but also the appearance and figure, were similar...

"Fairy..."

Before Yunmeng could even ask to confirm, suddenly, the group felt an earthquake and began to shake, especially Yu Xianxian and the other two, who bounced around between the fleshy walls like a bouncy ball.

After things finally calmed down, Su Jin'er hurriedly flew on her sword with Yunmeng to check on their condition.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Ah, it's nothing, I just feel a little...nauseous."

Shangguan Huan was the first to break down and start gagging, while Bai Ge and Yu Xianxian were in much better condition.

"It seems that this place is indeed not suitable for us to stay any longer."

Bai Ge looked at the two people flying in the air, especially Su Jin'er, and clasped his hands in a fist and asked, "May I ask if Fellow Daoist Su can break through this flesh wall?"

After saying that, she suddenly wanted to flick herself on the forehead. If the other person could break it open, wouldn't they have left already? Why would they be wasting time here?

The next second, to her surprise, Su Jin'er said, "Although the flesh here is very tough, I can still break through it with my swordsmanship."

"Then could you please break open the flesh wall, Fellow Daoist Su? I will be very grateful."

"No."

"what?"

This "no" left Shangguan Huan, who was busy gagging, somewhat bewildered. Since they were all trapped inside the fish's belly, wasn't it only natural to break through the flesh walls and get out? Even without any so-called generous reward, did Su Jin'er and the others not intend to get out themselves and instead plan to make their home inside the fish's belly?

Making a home inside a fish's belly? Hmm, even Bai Ge wouldn't dare to have that thought. That's not making a home, that's becoming nourishment for someone else!

"This fish is called the Hundred Treasures Fish. I want to use its bones to make a scabbard for my sword."

"The eyes of this fish are also very suitable for medicinal use, but they need to be removed while the fish is alive to be effective. Therefore, we do not intend to damage the fish's body or kill it, but are preparing to find another way."

Bai Ge: ……

"So, have you found it?"

"If it were found, it wouldn't be here."

Hmm...that makes sense.
