Jing Zhe was truly impressed, especially watching Zhou Ziqiong jump, with a certain soft spot bobbing up and down with her movements. All he could say was... a bittersweet experience...
It was just too painful; Jing Zhe couldn't bear it.
"Sixth Sister, the show's about to start, can we wait a bit before we start pinching each other?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziqiong immediately stopped.
This monkey story was indeed quite exciting. Zhou Ziqiong had never heard of it before. She was so busy playing around with Jing Zhe that she almost missed such a wonderful story, so she immediately stopped.
However, her hand was still gripping Jing Zhe's arm.
"Sixth Sister, my arm..."
Jing Zhe grimaced, signaling her to let go.
"Shut up, watch the show!"
Zhou Ziqiong had no intention of letting go; her gaze had already drifted to the stage downstairs, leaving Jing Zhe on the verge of tears.
Meanwhile, the story progresses rapidly. The monkey has already entered the Water Curtain Cave and led the other monkeys into this cave, which they had never been to before. He immediately gains the support of the other monkeys and has become their king...
As one act ended, another took the stage. The storyline on stage was full of twists and turns, with one climax after another, making the audience thoroughly enjoy the performance!
As the story unfolds, time flies by.
Fifteen minutes before noon, the story abruptly ended as the monkey snatched the magic staff—this seemed to have become Jing Zhe's habit of always ending the story at the most crucial moment.
This can no longer be called a break in the chapter; it should be called a break in the play.
Both newspaper staff and Wenxiangju shop employees were already used to this kind of practice.
However, for the people of Ruzhou who were watching the play for the first time, the interruption immediately aroused their strong dissatisfaction.
"Keep going, keep going!"
"It's finally over when we get to the part about causing havoc in the Dragon Palace?"
"Yeah, wasn't today's performance supposed to be about the havoc in the Dragon Palace? How come it's over before the havoc even started?"
"Is there a charge? We understand, we won't watch for free. Just tell us how much you want, we can afford it!"
"Yes, we can afford it. Just tell us how much you're willing to pay!"
"..."
Everyone immediately started talking at once. It can only be said that everyone has a dream of being a hero, and at the same time, a dream of showing off and slapping others in the face. And the monkey can undoubtedly fulfill both of their dreams.
They could all guess that the monkey was about to put on a big show, giving the Dragon King a good lesson and letting him know his place—how satisfying that would be! The current situation was—
Monkeys are showing off, that's what they're showing off.
The monkey slapped his face, that's them slapping his face.
But they stopped at such a crucial moment, as if they were suddenly ordered to stop and be pulled out while they were engaged in some indescribable, or indescribable, scenes.
This is so damn disappointing!
Jing Zhe was deeply moved after hearing everyone's suggestions.
The people of Ruzhou have a strong sense of copyright protection, which is worlds apart from the old freeloaders in Jingzhou. If everyone in the world were like them, how wonderful the world would be.
However, despite their enthusiasm, Chen Jiannan, who came up from the audience, still did not meet their demands.
Chen Jiannan pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet. Once no one in the hall was talking anymore, Chen Jiannan said, "Since it's lunchtime now, and our actors need to rest, we'll end the story of the Great Havoc in the Dragon Palace here for now!"
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, when will this play continue?"
"Does that mean we can start acting right after we finish eating?"
"Did the monkey attack the Dragon King next?"
"..."
Everyone chimed in with their own comments, clearly showing that they preferred the monkey story to the spirits.
Chen Jiannan smiled and said, "After lunch, we'll see how well our actors have rested before deciding whether to continue the performance. But don't worry, everyone, this monkey story will definitely be finished."
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, I only have time today. Could you please finish the entire performance today?"
"Me too! Even if it's performed tomorrow, I won't have time to watch it!"
"Oh dear, if it's performed tomorrow, we'll miss it!"
"..."
Not everyone has free time every day. It's already difficult enough to take a day off, let alone spend every day going to the newspaper office to watch plays.
After listening, Chen Jiannan laughed and said, "Don't worry, everyone. It's okay if you can't come to the newspaper office. Our story will still be seen by everyone!"
"Oh? What do you think?"
These words immediately piqued everyone's curiosity.
"This monkey story will soon be printed in the entertainment section of our newspaper. Everyone can just buy a copy and keep it at home to read whenever they have time!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became excited.
If this monkey story were actually printed, wouldn't it be wonderful if they bought a copy and kept it, so they could take it out and read it from time to time?
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, when will the newspaper be published?"
"Yes, could we release it today?"
"I want to buy one—no, three!"
"..."
"Don't worry, everyone! If nothing unexpected happens, our newspaper will be available here first thing tomorrow morning. Come and buy it then!"
"good!"
After Chen Jiannan's explanation, everyone was finally satisfied.
Next, it was lunchtime.
Because Wenxiangju specially brought a chef from Ruzhou, the dishes here are slightly different from those in Ruzhou. Everyone was curious and ordered a lot of Jingzhou dishes.
Then, the spirits were served along with the dishes.
"This dish is delicious!"
"As expected of Wenxiangju, it truly lives up to its reputation!"
"Wow, this liquor is really strong!"
"Indeed, the strong liquor that His Majesty praised is excellent!"
Both the dishes and the liquor at Wenxiangju received unanimous praise. The liquor, in particular, was highly acclaimed by everyone who tried it. In just one morning, the reputation of the newspaper, Wenxiangju, and Zhangjia Distillery spread far and wide!
Jing Zhe and Zhou Ziqiong were still standing on the second floor.
"Zhe'er, did that monkey actually cause trouble in the Dragon Palace?"
At this moment, Zhou Ziqiong no longer resembled a sister; she had become just like the other spectators downstairs.
"Sixth Sister, didn't you hear what Editor-in-Chief Chen just said? To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next installment in the newspaper!"
"Reading the newspaper, right?"
Zhou Ziqiong's hand "gently" stroked him again.
"Shall we wait and see what happens next?"
"..."
Jing Zhe winced in pain, forced to submit to Zhou Ziqiong's clutches, and quickly begged for mercy with a pained expression, "Sixth Sister, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
"Hmph, that's more like it!"
Zhou Ziqiong took her hands back, crossed her arms, and said smugly.
"Miss!"
Just as Jing Zhe was about to speak, Zhou Ziqiong's maid, Huaqin, rushed up in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, something's happened at the cloth shop. The master wants you to go back!"
"..."
