"Is Teacher Shen back from his home visit?"
As soon as Shen Qingmang entered the Spiritual Palace, she heard the inner demon's sarcastic tone. However, she had long been accustomed to the other party's sarcasm and ridicule, so instead of being annoyed, she felt it was a friendly gesture.
"That's all I can do to complain to you." Shen Qingmang dove into the bamboo forest within the Spiritual Mansion and took a deep breath. "Yiqing is older than my senior brother, but I didn't expect him to be so naive. His family is truly a family of innocent people. Maybe it's because he's beautiful. Beautiful people always get a lot of preferential treatment."
"Why are you so jealous?" The inner demon sneered, "Go look in the mirror now and face yourself. You are the one who relies most on your looks in the entire Taichu sect."
Shen Qingmang conjured up a bamboo couch and lay down on it, saying nonchalantly, "Forget it. I'm not used to relying on my looks to make a living. Isn't it the heroine who really relies on her looks to make a living? But I really don't understand why the author had to write the heroine so naive and even labeled her as 'soft and healing', as if cuteness can save everything. I think the author is the biggest naive person."
"What do you know?" the inner demon said angrily, "Do you think I want to write like that? It's just because it's popular!"
Shen Qingmang stood up suddenly. "You are the original author!"
"Depend on……"
The sky above shook several times, and a translucent figure appeared in front of Shen Qingmang, gradually condensing into a solid entity.
The girl in front of me was wearing a green dinosaur one-piece pajamas. Her round glasses almost covered half her face, but they couldn't hide the obvious dark circles under her eyes. She looked down at her outfit and hurriedly put on the pajamas hat. "Oh my god, why am I dressed like this? Is this a nightmare I had in the dorm?"
Shen Qingmang looked at her appearance, which was completely out of place in the world of immortal cultivation, and smiled knowingly. "I guessed right. Little sister, can you introduce yourself?"
The little girl, not knowing whether it was out of shame or anger, blushed crimson and glared at her fiercely. "It's all your fault! I can't hide it anymore!"
"High school student? College student?"
"I'm already a sophomore!"
"Oh." Shen Qingmang smiled. Sure enough, she was right. He was younger than her.
"Don't laugh so disgustingly. You have the final say on whether to kill me or cut me up. Just give me a quick death."
Shen Qingmang spread his hands. "I don't mean any harm to you, relax a little. Why are you here in my spiritual palace?"
The girl stared at her for a moment, and seeing she wasn't moving, she said, "I was wondering, I was just enjoying watching a TV series in the dorm when suddenly my heart started to ache, everything went black, and when I woke up I was here."
Shen Qingmang studied her expression and guessed, "Did you die suddenly from staying up late watching TV series?"
The other person's face turned pale. "Don't talk nonsense, I will be able to go back one day sooner or later!"
"Hmm...Qianxia Liubing, that's the name, right?"
If the girl's complexion just now was the color of a late cherry blossom, now it had turned into a sunset glow, red as the sky, and her voice had risen an octave. "Don't call me that! It's too embarrassing!"
"Isn't this your pen name? Since you don't tell me your real name, I can only call you this." Shen Qingmang looked innocent.
"Li Shutong, that's my name. It's not the 'Shutong' of Master Hongyi, but the 'Shutong' of 'The waning moon hangs on the shutong tree, the clock stops, and people begin to quiet down.'"
"Okay Shutong, now you can tell me what the original plot is, right?"
"I can't." Li Shutong said, taking a step back cautiously. "Don't even think about searching my soul. It's useless."
"As expected of the original author, you know more about magic than I do. I never thought of using soul-searching. But why not?"
"If you really want to try..." She bit her lip lightly, "After Qiongju's death, the one who took over as the head of the sect was..."
Before she could finish her words, the spiritual palace shook violently. Shen Qingmang felt as if someone had hit her head. She squatted down with difficulty to maintain her balance while shaking.
"Look, it's not that I don't want to spoil the story. It's just that the rules don't allow it." Li Shutong shrugged. "The Way of Heaven no longer belongs to me."
Shen Qingmang felt vaguely that this sentence sounded familiar, but the headache left her no time to think more. It took a long time for her soul to calm down and her headache was gone.
"Why do you punish me for breaking the rules?"
"Because we are truly one now. I'm not lying to you, we truly share a common destiny. I tried this when you couldn't enter the Spirit Palace, but I couldn't get out. Unless you follow the plot of the novel and enhance my power, I can regain control of this world."
Shen Qingmang rubbed his temple and looked at her sideways. "Do you want me to die?"
"Ah, no, no," Li Shutong waved his hands. "If you really died, I might as well be gone. The general direction should follow the novel, but we can make some adjustments. I can fake your death, and then you don't have to worry about the Taichu Sect's mess. You can do whatever you want, right? Anyway, I can see you weren't very satisfied with the Taichu Sect anyway."
"Then you'd better stay here." Shen Qingmang stood up and turned his back to her. "I absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch what happens in the future."
"Hmph, then you'll just be a fool for the rest of your life." Li Shutong pouted. "You're still scolding the author. You're the naive one, and your whole family is."
"I think Si Rong is based on you."
"You're talking nonsense. I'm not that stupid. You don't think that just because it's an online novel, you can get it published, right? It has to be popular. If you want to be popular, you have to follow the trend. I wrote it because the soft and healing heroine is popular now. I also wrote it when the strong heroine was popular before, but you just didn't see it."
Shen Qingmang locked eyes with her. "Then have you ever considered what would happen if underage children read too many novels like yours and became brainwashed? The idea that the most important qualities for a girl are innocence and kindness, and that simply relying on a man will lead to a good life, is that really twisted?"
