Ming Hong smiled slightly: "Marry me, and I'll write for you every day."
Linghu Lan: "Heh, do you think I'm someone who can be won over with just a novel? How naive!"
“No, but I’m someone you can handle with just one word.” Ming Hong’s tone was confident and indulgent.
"Hmm?" Linghu Lan's heart skipped a beat.
Ming Hong smiled slightly and continued, "As long as you say you love me, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you."
Linghu Lan's heart was pounding wildly. Stop, stop! You can't flirt anymore, or I'll strip naked and give you a piece of my mind.
The publication was thus happily decided.
Linghu Lan watched as Ming Hong spent an entire afternoon typing out the remaining 100,000 words of a book, and she simply didn't know how to describe her feelings.
When Ming Hong wrote the words "The End" with an air of dominance, Linghu Lan was completely captivated by Ming Hong's black robe.
She immediately grabbed her laptop and read the ending. Even after finishing, she was still captivated, completely immersed in the story, unable to tear herself away – it was simply too wonderful.
"Is it pretty?" Ming Hong asked.
"nice!"
Do you like it?
"like!"
"Get married?"
"Cheng... Huh? You tricked me?" Linghu Lan gave Ming Hong a death stare.
Ming Hong: "..."
Having finished writing, Linghu Lan felt at ease.
She picked an auspicious day, got into her car, and planned to visit Wenmo's hometown, Wenjia Village, to check on the situation.
From Mingxiu's memories, she learned only a few words about the spirit pen master; she still needed to find out the details herself.
The profession of pen spirit master is passed down from generation to generation, with only a handful of people in each generation receiving the pen spirit master's inheritance.
Linghu Lan collected some information about pen spirit masters online and found that most of them exist in ghost stories and novels, and there are basically no traces of pen spirit masters in real life.
Like corpse drivers, paper doll makers, executioners, itinerant knife sellers, and coroners, pen spirit masters are all professions with a supernatural element. However, unlike them, who mostly deal with the living or the dead, pen spirit masters deal with ghosts.
In legends, the pen spirit master is someone who communicates between the world of the living and the world of the dead with a pen. They can draw a path for ghosts to the world of the living, and they can also draw a path for the living to the world of the dead.
Long ago, spirit masters held a very high status. Some people, unable to forget their deceased relatives, would try to find a spirit master and buy a path to the underworld to personally visit the deceased. This was called "walking the path of the underworld."
More often, it is ghosts from the underworld who come to the spirit master, wanting to return to the mortal world and fulfill their wishes.
In the past, pen spirit masters were registered in the underworld and qualified to open a small shop in the ghost market. A large bowl was hung at the entrance of the shop. Ghosts who wanted to return to the mortal world only needed to put enough merit money into the bowl, and the pen spirit master would appear, draw a path that only that ghost could pass through, and lead him to the mortal world. After finishing his business, he could return.
Because they spend their lives traversing the realms of Yin and Yang, pen spirit masters usually have unfortunate fates and short lifespans. Therefore, many people no longer teach their descendants the skills of pen spirit masters, but instead let them live peacefully and anonymously in modern society.
Like other supernatural professions, the pen spirit master has disappeared into the vast sea of people.
These are all legendary pen spirit masters. Linghu Lan wants to see the pen spirit masters of the Wenmo lineage, and how they specifically pass on their skills.
