The neighborhood is quite large; it took about ten minutes to walk to the building.

Once inside the elevator, Yi Qin swiped her card with practiced ease and pressed the button for the 19th floor, acting as if she were in her own home.

The elevator went up very quickly, arriving in just a few tens of seconds. Yi Yang guessed it was designed for one apartment per floor.

After exiting the elevator, there was indeed only one door number, 19A.

After looking at it, Yi Yang couldn't help but nod. The security, landscaping, and privacy design of the residences were all quite good.

It's basically the dream house for many people.

Of course, the price will also be very attractive.

This is like looking at houses in advance. Once I've saved enough money, I'll at least buy a decent one.

As soon as she entered, Yi Qin called out, "Qingxue, Leba, my brother is here."

Yi Yang also changed his shoes, from one pair of slippers to another.

Today, Yi Yang's outfit consisted of a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, a typical summer look. Unfortunately, it was all for naught, and he was still incredibly hot.

As soon as Yi Yang passed through the entrance hall, he saw Teacher Yang and Le Ba coming out to greet him.

"This must be Yi Yang's younger brother!"

Yang Qingxue greeted Yi Yang warmly when she saw him.

However, Yi Yang didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded.

"Come in, come in... have a seat... what would you like to drink? I have everything here."

Yang Qingxue was even happier to see Yi Yang's somewhat shy demeanor and immediately beckoned him to come this way.

When she was leading the way, why did she walk with a model's crossed steps? Does a big star have to maintain proper etiquette even at home?

Why is Leba next to her different? She even walks with her toes pointing slightly outwards.

What Yi Yang didn't know was that Yang Qingxue had already defined herself as a homebody, the kind of guy who could be easily won over with just a little sweetness.

After everyone was seated in the living room, Yang Qingxue handed Yi Yang a bottle of ice water and a white towel.

They probably saw that Yi Yang's upper body was already soaked with sweat, so they decided to wipe it off.

After Yi Yang accepted it, she said "thank you," but she had to admit in her heart that the woman had observed very carefully.

Unlike his own sister, who is already quite capable of taking care of herself, he would never think of her younger brother.

"Your sister and I are friends, so I'll call you Xiao Yang too! You can call me Sister Xue..."

Yang Qingxue's sweet, childlike voice, deliberately spoken in this tone, was incredibly alluring.

However, Yi Yang was a man who had experienced "Brother Black Chicken" back on Blue Star, so how could he be easily seduced?

"I'll still call you Teacher Yang! It's more appropriate."

After hearing Yi Yang's words, Yang Qingxue observed Yi Yang's expression again. Seeing that there was no change and he still had a faint smile, she also subtly adjusted her strategy.

This young man seems a bit difficult to deal with.

With a smile on his face, he replied, "Of course, Brother Yi Yang can call me whatever he likes. It's just a form of address."

Leba, standing nearby, was also observing Yi Yang with great interest, finding this young man quite interesting, as he was able to resist Sister Xue's charm.

Yi Qin, that simpleton, chimed in, "If you're told to call her Sister Xue, then call her Sister Xue. She's not an outsider, why call her Teacher Yang?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Yang shook his head inwardly.

Yi Qin is such a big idiot. She's only good at bullying people at home. She's useless as soon as she goes out. She can't even tell when someone is trying to get close to her before asking for a favor.

If you let her negotiate or anything like that, she'd probably be sold out and still be helping the seller count the money.

Upon hearing Yi Qin's words, Yang Qingxue's smile widened even more.

"By the way, Xiao Yang, how far have you gotten with your book? I saw that you just put it on the shelves today, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Yang nodded, "Yes! It just went live today, and if you include the drafts, I've written about a third of it!"

After listening, Yang Qingxue thought for a moment and then asked, "So, do you have any specific plans for the upcoming plot?"

At this moment, Yi Yang also thought about it. The main reason was that Qiao Feng had not yet appeared online, so readers would assume that Duan Yu was the protagonist.

Yang Qingxue might also think that it's better to clarify things now.

"Actually, there will be three main characters in this book, and Duan Yu is just one of them."

"oh..."

Yi Yang's words startled Yang Qingxue, and her expression clearly changed.

However, Yi Yang didn't pay any attention and continued talking.

"The title of the book, 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' comes from Buddhist scriptures. It means that no one is without grievances, and all sentient beings are bound to suffer karmic consequences."

"The stories of the three main characters are also like this, all revolving around four words: greed, anger, ignorance, and love..."

"The content being updated online now is just the beginning. The turning point will come when the second protagonist, Qiao Feng, appears, and the whole book will enter its climax."

“I could tell you now how the story ends, but that would take away the fun of continuing to explore, and would be putting the cart before the horse.”

After Yi Yang finished speaking, he was also a little thirsty, so he opened a water dispenser and drank some.

I've sweated a lot and talked so much, so I need to replenish my fluids.

At this moment, Yang Qingxue's eyes lit up. She didn't understand much of what Yi Yang said, but that didn't stop her feelings from growing stronger.

Once this book is finished, it will definitely become a classic.

Because she heard Yi Yang say those eight words: "No one is without grievances, and all affection is a curse."

As a professional actress, she understands that people tend to laugh off happy things and not take them too seriously, much less make them a lasting memory.

On the contrary, they always hold grudges against unpleasant or frustrating things.

As the old saying goes, life is full of disappointments...

This further solidified my resolve to acquire the copyright to this book.

Yi Qin and Le Ba, who were standing next to him, also looked at Yi Yang. Unlike Yang Qingxue, Yi Qin felt that her younger brother was usually quiet, but when it came to his novels, he was very talkative.

Leba's reaction was somewhat one of admiration; she thought this young man was so handsome when he was talking eloquently! He seemed to be glowing. His eyes were almost shaped like stars.

At this moment, Yang Qingxue directly said to Yi Yang, "Brother Yi Yang, could you sell the copyright of this book to your older sister? The price is negotiable."

After he finished speaking, his expression became even more sincere.

After hearing this, Yi Yang thought about it for a moment. Given Yang Qingxue's situation, if the copyright were sold to her, she would definitely want to play the lead role herself.

The most outstanding female lead in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is definitely Wang Yuyan.

But to be honest, Yang Qingxue's temperament doesn't fit at all.

One is pure and innocent. The other is alluring and captivating. Can they be compared?

Leba, standing next to her, could actually play a princess of the Western Xia Dynasty, mainly because her face has a touch of exoticism, which makes her more suitable.
