Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 174 The Twin Fiends of Water and Fire

As soon as she entered the city gate, Zhu Wuyao noticed that pedestrians on the roadside seemed to be discussing her new book, "Outer Gate Servant".

Zhu Wuyao was quite surprised.

In my memory, the storybooks serialized by Mohen Bookstore were only sold locally.

Only completed stories are collected into volumes and sold in bookstores.

After making a few inquiries, Zhu Wuyao learned that the previous book, "Sword Immortal Master," was so popular that a resale business had emerged after the new book was launched.

That's not all. In places where information is scarce, some people impersonate Mr. Silent, find a random storybook, put their name on it, and deceive people.

Therefore, many readers believed it to be true.

They thought those things were really written by her, and they angrily scolded Mr. Wuyu for getting arrogant after achieving some success, and for actually writing such garbage.

Even worse, some people excessively praise Mr. Silent.

Even when faced with counterfeit stories, he can analyze them logically and clearly.

In just a short while, Zhu Wuyao heard quite a few jokes.

"Young lady, you wouldn't believe it. In a small town two days' journey south, there lives a self-proclaimed scholar who's been taking a storybook titled 'After Being Kicked Out of My Home, I Became the Number One Cultivator in the World' and completely believing it was written by Mr. Speechless."

Zhu Wuyao was quite surprised to hear this.

Putting everything else aside, the name sounds very similar.

She picked up a cup of tea, gave a self-promotion, successfully integrating herself into the Mr. Silent Reader's Exchange Meeting, and asked:

What did that book say?

The gentleman opposite me was quite talkative, speaking with great enthusiasm:

"Hey, can't you tell from the name? It's not that the book is bad, it's just not that good. The key is that the writing style is completely different."

"That scholar surnamed Ge was always at the bottom of the class in his studies, but he wanted to show off and gain fame."

There's a line in a story about borrowing names: "A swallow flew in front of the door, then another swallow flew in, and finally yet another swallow flew in." He insisted that this line was extremely clever.

"It is said that Mr. Wuyu used only three swallows to describe the protagonist's boredom and idleness, and fully expressed the protagonist's feeling of being lost and unable to adapt after being kicked out of his home."

A woman nearby chimed in:

"That's right. I studied there, and when this book came out, Mr. Wuyu was severely criticized. It was clearly just padding the word count."

"But he has absolutely no scholarly integrity. He spouts this nonsense and has even gathered a group of people, made him their leader, and established the 'Silent Language Society' to analyze that storybook that falsely uses the name of Mr. Silent Language!"

Mr. Speechless, holding his teacup, was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

And then "another swallow flew in"...

That scholar surnamed Ge was truly born at the wrong time; he was, however, a promising talent for reading comprehension.

"Haha, seeing that the resale of books by Mohen Bookstore is serious, I might as well earn this money myself and bring over Mr. Wuyu's new storybook."

"The expression on Ge Shusheng's face at that moment was absolutely priceless. I was there at the time, and the way everyone was making fun of him was truly hilarious."

Zhu Wuyao shook his head helplessly.

She, a storyteller who benefited from her past life's good fortune, actually made a name for herself and even became a kind of "authority".

Fortunately, there are still many people who have their own judgment.

Zhu Wuyao casually inquired, "I wonder how Mr. Wuyu's new story is going?"

"I only read the opening chapters of the new story before embarking on my journey, and I haven't read the rest yet."

Everyone got really excited when this was mentioned.

Praise poured out like water, lauding this new storybook as unprecedented, making it a groundbreaking benchmark and a leader in the storybook wave.

The "rebirth" setting, in particular, is a topic of much discussion.

Moreover, besides being reborn, Zhu Wuyao's plot is also unique.

She changed her previous flamboyant style and had the passionate woman, Ming Chi, hide her identity within the Hundred Virtues Sect.

As mentioned earlier, Mingchi did not make a big splash like in her previous life, but instead had her sister Mingwan accompany her, pretending to be ordinary.

He became an ordinary doorman/maid.

To avoid being targeted by Elder Lin, who was using the Soul-Binding Refining Array.

However, in secret, she and her sister Mingchi were making progress.

Since she was reborn, she naturally remembered the cultivation techniques she practiced in her previous life, so why should she fight or snatch those useless things?

Mingchi spent two days copying down the techniques she remembered, then called her older sister Mingchi and said in a very domineering manner:

"A chance encounter, choose whatever you like!"

Mingwan was stunned by her sister's grandeur and stood there for a long time before finally saying:

"If you go to rob and plunder again, never go alone, or I'll worry."

Mingwan didn't know where her younger sister got the martial arts manual from, and the more she read it, the more alarmed she became. But she knew that Mingchi wouldn't harm her.

Therefore, after selecting two notebooks to write down, he burned all of them.

To make things easier, Mingchi wanted to hide his identity, but his sister discovered it. Helpless, the "arsonist" who should have been famous in the cultivation world ended up as the "water and fire duo".

Rumor has it that the Water and Fire Demons have an unknown lineage, unknowable realm, and are elusive and mysterious.

They seem to have the ability to foresee the future.

Sometimes, upon opening a piece of heritage, one is greeted by those arrogant, large characters—

"The Water and Fire Duo were here."

It's truly infuriating; one can't wait to get rid of them.

Relying on her memories from her previous life, Ming Chi avoided many detours. She was naturally gifted and, coupled with knowledge of certain opportunities, her cultivation level improved extremely quickly.

On the surface, the two are Qi Refining stage disciples of the Hundred Virtues Sect with no talent whatsoever; in secret, Ming Chi and Ming Wan are Golden Core stage cultivators who stir up trouble.

He lived an exceptionally carefree life.

It maintains the same refreshing style as "Sword Immortal Master".

"Not to mention, Ming Chi has also secretly planted countless hidden messages within the Hundred Virtues Sect, helping many grateful people."

"I think Miss Mingchi has other plans, but I don't know what she's plotting against the Hundred Virtues Sect."

"It would be so wonderful to be able to live a second life, but unfortunately, every chapter ends with the line, 'The ending of this story is fictional, and the matter of rebirth is purely coincidental.'"

"After the Sword Immortal Master appeared out of nowhere, I thought that there was no one who could compare to him in the field of popular vernacular stories. Who knew that Mr. Wuyu's new book seems to have reached an even higher level!"

"Every time Mr. Wuyu writes a book, he always stirs up a new wave, with many followers. Just when we finally see his back, it seems that Mr. Wuyu will stand on the crest of a new wave."

"I don't know how she comes up with so many ingenious ideas, I'm so envious..."

Listening to the discussion around him, Zhu Wuyao chuckled to himself:

With the entire world's novel tropes as a treasure trove, she probably won't run out of ideas anytime soon.

With that in mind, she drank tea and chatted with everyone, thoroughly enjoying herself.

After the event ended, Zhu Wuyao planned to visit the local Ink Trace Bookstore. He had just picked up "The Invincible Path of a Reborn Outer Disciple" when he heard a voice behind him—

"How will you be here?!"

I hope you won't be invited to look back.

She recognized the person in front of her at a glance; it was Ye Xiaozhou, whose face was concealed.

Ye Xiaozhou looked like he'd seen a ghost; his expression was incredibly interesting.
