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

"Perhaps, perhaps there are too many people and the Jade Blood Sword cannot withstand it."

As she spoke, Su Jin'er looked at Lin Zifu, her meaning clear.

Although Lin Zifu was stubborn about the fish issue, he wasn't ignorant of social etiquette, and he bluntly asked, "Are you trying to kick me out?"

Su Jin'er: ...Why do I feel like I've committed some heinous crime?

At this moment, the Jade Blood Sword was still constantly "overloaded," and its flight altitude was clearly decreasing. Nevertheless, Lin Zifu pondered for a moment before asking a completely unrelated question: "Did she come to catch fish to compensate me?"

Who else could this "she" be but Yu Xianxian? Su Jin'er hadn't expected Lin Zifu to still be struggling with this question at a time like this. Unable to answer, she could only stammer, "Hmm? It should be..."

"it is good."

Before she could finish saying "No way," Lin Zifu seemed to understand and jumped off the Jade Blood Sword into the pitch-black abyss.

Su Jin'er: ...

Others: ...

So what exactly was he thinking? Why did he just jump?

"It must be some kind of flying formation. Lin Zifu doesn't seem like the type to seek death. Oh, speaking of which, Junior Sister also jumped down just now. Ah, it's alright, it must be some kind of flying spirit beast."

Su Jin'er: ...

Yunmeng: ...

No, she wasn't. Come to think of it, why weren't they worried at all when they saw Yu Xianxian jump? Didn't they feel at all that she might die?

Su Jin'er: It's alright, Xianxian. No matter what, she is Shen Mengxi's spirit beast, and she's very powerful.

Yunmeng: It's alright, this girl is very lucky, at most she'll be half crippled.

Yu Xianxian, who is currently flipping through the script: Ugh, who's thinking about me?

"Haven't you found it yet?"

"Oh, stop rushing me, all you do is rush me. Don't be impatient. You need patience to be a demon, you know?"

Si Tu: ...Do you have some strange misunderstanding about demons?

"There's something significant beneath this temple. Alright, we've found it."

At this moment, words began to appear line by line on the script that was finally open for business.

"The place beneath this temple is quite extraordinary. Everyone knows this secret realm was left behind by Lin Yu and his companions' master. Since all five disciples have become powerful figures, their master must be even more remarkable. You see, their master isn't an ordinary person, but a celestial being from the heavens, in charge of..."

"Enough with the nonsense, turn the page."

"Hmm, I'm quite interested. I'll take a look."

"What are you looking at? To be a demon, you need a clear direction, understand? Find the right goal, otherwise you'll never do anything right."

Si Tu: ...How come you seem to know more about the secrets of being a demon than I do?

"Therefore, to protect this temple, there are three mechanisms underneath. The first is a maze from which you can never escape; it's just that the walls move with you, tricking you into a dead end, so don't worry. The second is a battle with a dragon, but after all these years, the dragon is old, so it's fine too. The third is a test of inner demons, but how could a true demon like the Demon Lord be affected by a minor inner demon, so it's fine as well. Finally, if you pass all the tests, congratulations to our hero Situ for obtaining a divine piece of equipment."

Yu Xianxian: ...So, why is this guy the hero? Uh, pshaw, no, what hero? Do you think this is some kind of adventure game? And what do you mean by "it's okay"? Look at what you're saying, is it even okay?

"Cannon fodder Yu Xianxian was extremely dissatisfied with the script's arrangement and made a scene, which was really... ugh."

Before she could even finish reading the script, Yu Xianxian, the cannon fodder character, slammed the book shut. Ugh, what a lousy book that betrays its own people.

A script: No, I only side with good-looking people.

"Oh, the wall moves with us? That's quite interesting."

Yu Xianxian walked to the wall. It was pitch black all around, and it was really hard to tell whether the wall had moved, based only on the faint light in her hand.

"Does it say where the exit is located?"

"Ah, wait, let me see."

Yu Xianxian opened the book, thinking she would have to look for it again, but unexpectedly, a certain script started writing as soon as possible.

"Ah, it's an honor that the Demon Lord needs my help. Of course I know the direction of the exit; it's right to the left of the Demon Lord."

"The left hand is facing the direction."

"Yu Xianxian" turned left and walked a few steps before bumping into a wall.

"In the way."

With a loud "boom," the wall cracked open.

Yes, wall: I'm cracking.

Si Tu calmly walked through the hole in the wall, but after only a few steps, he bumped into the wall again.

"Ha, this is troublesome, it will consume a lot of magic power."

Immediately afterwards, there were more than a dozen consecutive "booms," and Si Tu walked out of the maze without any effort.

Oh, Yu Xianxian, you asked what Yu Xianxian is doing? She's picking up her chin. Dude, did you ever study with some bald guy?

Script: I told you it's okay, but you just won't listen.

"That's all."

Just as "Yu Xianxian" finished saying something pretentious and was about to leave, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder.

Without any hesitation, he swiftly turned and seized the person behind him.

Yu Xianxian: ...When did she start practicing kung fu? How come she didn't know?

"who?"

Lin Zifu hadn't expected such a strong reaction from just a pat on the shoulder, but even after being caught, he still asked, "It doesn't look like there are any fish here. Why did you come here to catch fish?"

"What did you say?"

Catching fish here? Is this person trying to distract him? How could anyone other than Yu Xianxian have such a foolish idea?

The foolish Yu Xianxian: ...Hey, I'm listening.

"I'm asking you why you came to a place like this to catch fish?"

Lin Zifu thought the other party really hadn't heard him clearly, so he repeated himself.

"Catching fish? Why would I do such a thing?"

"You didn't come here to catch fish?"

After listening, Lin Zifu thought for half a second and then concluded: "I understand, you are trying to evade compensation."

After saying that, Lin Zifu did a backflip to escape his restraints, and also kicked someone in the process.

Already unsteady on her feet, this kick caused "Yu Xianxian" to stagger several steps before regaining her footing.

"This physical fitness always manages to broaden my horizons."

Yu Xianxian: ...If you want to insult her, then insult her. Do you think she doesn't know you're cursing her by being so subtle?

"Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

"I am the creditor, and I demand that you compensate me for my fish."

"fish?"

"It seems like something happened when we came out of the fish's belly, but I didn't hear it clearly. It seems like someone said we ruined his fish and they had to pay for it."

"Fish? Is it that rare and precious fish?"

"Exactly."

"Is that your spirit beast?"

"No, that's my dinner."

Si Tu: ...

Yu Xianxian: ……

Script: Well, it turns out to be a fight that started over dinner.
