"Of course it's the title of the novel. I've already outlined the plot for you. You need to derive 120,000 words from this outline. Can you do it?"
"It should be fine."
"Remember, this novel's selling point is for men. Don't add any male-male romance or anything like that. If I find out, I'll have to rewrite it. Everything should be written from a male's perspective."
"Oh, I see."
Qin Yuesheng threw out a silver note worth one hundred taels: "Go ahead, this is this month's deposit. I'll help you deal with your parents' gambling problem in the near future."
Huang Wei stood up with a stack of outlines in her hand: "Sir, I don't know your name yet?"
Qin Yuesheng picked up the teacup, looked out the window, and took a sip.
"The eldest son of the Qin family is me."
…
It was three o'clock in the morning.
"It's dry, be careful with fire."
"It's dry, be careful with fire."
The night watchman walked slowly forward, shouting out the words he had been shouting for many years in a calm tone.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from an alley not far away. Before the night watchman could react, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he cut his throat with one claw.
"Well!"
Blood gushed out from the wound, and the broken throat made it impossible for the night watchman to utter a single word.
The black shadow sniffed the night watchman's body, then took a big bite and began chewing quickly.
"It's not you, you are not him, I want revenge."
The night watchman was thrown to the side of the road, and the black shadow immediately disappeared into the night.
The next day.
Qin Mansion Plum Blossom Residence.
Qin Feng, Qin Yuesheng and Duan Hongjin sat beside the round table, quietly eating breakfast on the table.
Xiaolongbao, beef porridge, braised duck feet, pig ears... there are as many as twelve kinds.
Qin Yuesheng ate the porridge in the bowl slowly and carefully. It was the rule of the Qin family that everyone had to sit together and eat breakfast.
At this moment, the chief steward Qin Zheng suddenly walked in from outside with an official notice in his hand.
"Master, last night in Qingyang City, thirty-two families were brutally murdered, and three night watchmen also died."
Qin Feng stopped talking: "How could such a thing happen? Who did it?"
"The authorities are still investigating. The perpetrators were extremely brutal, with each fatal blow snapping the victim's neck, leaving no one alive. A notice is currently offering a substantial reward for any witnesses who can provide information."
Duan Hongjin couldn't help but say, "Master, I'm afraid some bandits from other places have come to Qingyang City."
"It's possible. Steward Qin, please tell the guard commander to have all the guards in the Qin Mansion be alert during this period. They should patrol the Qin Mansion in shifts around the clock and not let down their guard for even a moment.
Also, remember to stay in groups of three, and stay together wherever you go. You cannot leave the group without permission."
"clear."
Qin Yuesheng looked at the notice in Qin Zheng's hand thoughtfully without saying a word.
Another day passed.
The massacre in Qingyang City continued, and hundreds of people died in just a few days, which immediately caused widespread panic in Qingyang City.
Rich merchants and wealthy families can sleep soundly at night because they have many warriors and guards, but ordinary civilians are not so comfortable.
Anyone who encountered that murderer would surely die and would never see the sunrise the next morning.
As a result, people in Qingyang City became panic-stricken for a while, but the business of martial arts schools, blacksmith shops, and weapon shops in the city became very booming.
However, the common people were worried and upset, but Xun Sheng, the prefect of Qingyang City, was even more upset.
Someone breaking the law in his jurisdiction was a complete challenge to his position as the prefect. What made Xun Sheng even more worried was that they still didn't know whether the murderer was a human or a ghost.
"Master Bai, do you have any clues?"
In Bai Hao's room, Xun Sheng sat at the table and asked with a serious expression.
Bai Hao's hair was messy, obviously not having been taken care of for some time.
"Nothing was found." Bai Hao shook his head helplessly. "There were no footprints at the scene, and the wounds on the deceased's body all looked like they were caused by claws. Few people in this area of Jiangnan use claw blades as weapons, so I suspect that this crime was most likely committed by a ghoul."
"Corpse ghost!" Xun Sheng's expression changed.
Both corpse ghosts and evil spirits are very dangerous. The power of evil spirits lies in the fact that they have mastered many strange methods. The most common ones are to use illusions to confuse people, absorb people's essence, possess and control the human body, etc.
The Seven Stars Guard calls this kind of thing "ghost covering the eyes", "ghost building a wall", and "ghost possession".
The tricky thing about ghouls is how brutal they are.
The purpose of every corpse ghost's existence is to kill. They have no consciousness or wisdom, and their only idea is to hunt down any living creature with blood.
Wherever a corpse appears, there will be a disaster of slaughter.
