You are not monster girls!

Chapter 164 Winning from a Fallen Angel Only Exists in the 2D World (4k)

How's the comic coming along?

"The character designs and plot are already in place. All we need to do is draw the storyboards and scripts according to the process. The plan is to update every three days, and the first video will be released no later than tomorrow afternoon."

Lin Muran glanced at the comments section again. Judging from the discussion in the bullet comments and the comments section, the response to this short drama was quite good, and it had the potential to be developed into a new series.

While the vampire video isn't exactly a viral hit, it still has a certain impact. To create this comic series, we need to start updating while the video is still trending.

If the data of self-made comics can be kept at a similar level to the average data of their own videos, and the update frequency is slightly faster than that of videos, then naturally a lot of clients will come knocking on their door.

There's no need to force yourself to create a hit product.

Yun Yifei asked with some concern, "But... Sally seems to be your assistant's name, won't she mind if we use her name directly?"

Judging from the life story shown in the video, Sally should be a vampire with a bad temper. What if she comes knocking on your door after seeing your video one day?
Besides, aren't all the monsters hiding their identities when they come to this place?
Did you just open the box for them?

“Selly’s full name is Selly Brando. There are more than a hundred surnames after that. There are many Westerners with this name, both over there and here, so there’s no need to make a fuss about it.”

"Besides, I drew in the style of anime, and Sally has an ID card, so even if her disguise is exposed, she will only be seen as a cosplayer who cosplays a vampire, not the real one."

Lin Muran imported the pre-prepared comic panel template into Bai Mengqing's browser and continued:
"When Xia Li was writing, she wrote based on her impression of Selena. Using this name makes it easier for her to immerse herself in the creation. If there are any profits, I will also share some with her as a way of buying the copyright."

Now, Celie's character design as a genuine, top-tier Kyō-sama has been established through monster tidbits and manga.
If further exploration and development are carried out, this single personal brand can generate considerable value.

Anyway, she's either watching TV or sleeping at home now, so using her image fee is just a way of repaying the kindness from the other world.

Sally, don't blame me.

Blame capitalism.

Sigh, Meituan.

After saying that, Lin Muran let out a cackling laugh.

Knowing she couldn't help with drawing comics, Xia Li walked to the door, her long tail lightly brushing along the edge: "The assistant will definitely agree." Di Hou explained confidently to the big sister.

After saying that, she swung her claws out a gust of wind and left the studio for the living room.

She only realized how incredibly enjoyable it was to lie on the sofa, watch TV, and scroll through her phone after meeting Sally.

Is this a way of subduing the opponent?
Yun Yifei, exasperated, turned to Lin Muran and said, "Just know what you're doing."

"Don't worry, everything has been planned."

Lin Muran handed over the pre-written project process plan to the other party.

"I never expected that someone as carefree as you could actually manage a project so flawlessly."

"Who exactly is being so irresponsible?"

As she silently expressed her gratitude to the other world, her gaze shifted to Bai Mengqing, who was engrossed in her drawing.
"Bai Mengqing, won't there be any problems with you rushing to meet such a tight deadline?"

Seeing her younger brother arrange the process this way reminded her of her company's CS boss.

I may not like it, but
Bai Mengqing is, after all, a legendary dragon.

This kind of exploitation, like treating cattle and horses, seems a bit inappropriate.

"As long as Lin Muran meets the requirements, there will be no problem." Bai Mengqing put down her digital pen, turned her chair around, and seemed surprised that Yun Yifei would take the initiative to care about her.

The difficulty of creating comics lies in panel layout and plot. Now that she has both of these in place, all she has to do is be a ruthless drawing machine.

If drawing on a computer didn't restrict her freedom, she could easily produce 20 episodes a day.

"Conditions?" Yun Yifei's heart skipped a beat.

"It's just extra pocket money."

"And also going out to treat people to meals."

Lin Muran quickly interrupted Bai Mengqing, turning her chair around and pretending to lean back on her headrest: "Shh, don't let my older sister know about our agreement, or we're both doomed."

"why?"

"Do you think that if she finds out, her demands will still be met?"

The requirement, naturally, is to share a bed with someone.

Bai Mengqing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and instantly recalled how Yun Yifei had imitated her death rolls on Lin Muran's bed when he was not around.
The entire dragon immediately sensed something was wrong.

Could it be that Lin Muran's sister also has her eye on Lin Muran's bed?
No, we absolutely cannot let her succeed.

But she can also crack skulls, a powerful opponent from Lin Muran's sect. How can I contend with her?

She could only swallow and nod, not daring to speak.

Lin Muran added, "Also, we should try to avoid too much physical contact during this period, such as holding hands or hugging, so as not to make her jealous."

He hadn't mentioned it to Bai Mengqing for a while, mainly because she was focused on painting and had no free time.

Now that the project is simpler, it's worth mentioning.

"Eh"

Bai Mengqing immediately became unhappy upon hearing this: "But you can hug your sister openly, so why can't I?"

"You set the rules yourself, whoever enters the house is the most important. She's the most important and she's my sister. It's normal for family members to hug each other, right?"

"What about Xia Li?"

“That’s how pet cats hug. My older sister hugs her like that too.”

"And what about Qingyi?"

"Then when did I hug her?!"

The closest contact between Lin Muran and Qingyi was holding hands; there was no hugging involved.

"Why can't I be a pet's hug?"

"Because of you"

Lin Muran glanced at Bai Mengqing's most prominent feature and said, "You're very big."

"big?"

Bai Mengqing's dusky eyes followed Lin Muran's gaze downwards; she indeed seemed unable to see her toes.

Does having a small chest mean you have to hug a pet?

Her gaze quickly shifted to Lin Muran's chest: "You mean you and your sister are our pets?"

Qingyi's chest heaved quite a bit, no wonder Lin Muran never hugged her, but she always took the initiative to hug him.

Lin Muran:???

"Don't get me wrong, I meant large in size."

"."

"Anyway, just bear with it for now."

This is a crucial moment for Yun Yifei as she begins to interact with Bai Mengqing; first impressions are very important.

If Bai Mengqing were to suddenly use the dragon chariot to injure herself again, as before, the conflict between Yun Yifei and her would only escalate.

On the contrary, if she is earnest and honest, she will take the initiative to become friends with Bai Mengqing.

Once the relationship is good, everything else will be easier to discuss.

"Oh"

Bai Mengqing's tail drooped dejectedly to the ground, without any bounce.

"I'll make it up to you after my sister leaves, okay?"

"Then I'll add an unconditional command."

"Whatever makes you happy."

"And our relationship?"

Bai Mengqing hesitated for a moment, then picked up her pen again and started drawing: "Okay."

Lin Muran, who had secretly discussed the matter with Yun Yifei, turned to her and said, "There are no conditions, just a simple doubling of salary."

"really?"

Yun Yifei's eyes sharpened: "Spirit beasts are also interested in money?" "Of course, Master Qing can testify to that."

"Ah I?"

Qingyi, who had been watching the fun from the sidelines, suddenly became the center of attention, her blue-green ear feathers sticking up excitedly: "Uh, cough, yes, that's true."

Seeing Yun Yifei's "Really? I don't believe it" expression, Qingyi could only start making things up:
"You see some Pixiu or toad statues holding gold coins in their mouths. Don't think I'm being silly; you should know that the designs of many statues are not based on random sources."

"Does Long like it too?" Yun Yifei asked.

"Of course, didn't you see that the three of them even went to listen to the sound of the gold coins clinking when the Alipay account was credited?"

"That's true."

"right."

Lin Muran and Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously, finally managing to cover up the lie.

"Master Qing, you've been living here for a while now. Is there really something wrong with this room?"

If Lin Muran hadn't suddenly brought up the topic with Qingyi, Yun Yifei would have almost forgotten that Qingyi had come to her house to have her feng shui checked and exorcise evil spirits before staying there.

"Ah this."

Qingyi felt a tightness in her chest. She had been so busy eating and drinking for free at Lin Muran's house these past few days that she had completely forgotten about tricking Yun Yifei.

She hadn't even come up with a reason for the follow-up, nor did she know how to come up with one.

Qingxiaoling does not offer services such as feng shui consultation or ghost exorcism.

Okay, let's just make something up for now. Anyway, Xiaoyun is the only one here who can't see the real ghost.

"That's right, Xiaoyun."

Qingyi's expression was grave: "The problem is more serious than I imagined."

"Severe? Serious?"

"Recently, Lin Muran told me that he's been inexplicably losing several pairs of pants, while the traitor reports that he often hears footsteps in the corridor at night."

Bai Mengqing: (⊙x⊙)
Yun Yifei: =()
"I don't think I've lost anything. I think I really have lost my pants."

Lin Muran only realized yesterday, when she was about to take a shower, that she was wearing fewer and fewer underwear.

Even that super conspicuous red underwear is gone.

But I got so busy making videos that I forgot about it, and now that Qingyi said it, I suddenly felt something was off.

Could it be that our home has attracted a collection of spirits?
With Xia Li and this guardian spirit beast in the house, how could it possibly be haunted?
He didn't think these spirit beasts would secretly take his clothes, since they took them openly and honestly.

Bai Mengqing turned around and said hesitantly, "Lord Siming, I think it's necessary to investigate this matter thoroughly to avoid repeating the same mistake."

"But I've stayed for half a day and still haven't solved the problem, so I feel a bit embarrassed to stay any longer."

Repeating the same mistakes?

What is the same as what?

Never mind, let's talk to Bai Mengqing first.

"I think it would be best for you to stay here for now, Master Qing, until things are cleared up."

Yun Yifei said somewhat guiltily, "Anyway, it didn't cause any problem. Besides, we're friends, so why be so polite? It's fine if you stay here indefinitely."

She suddenly felt a little fortunate that Bai Mengqing lived here.

Qingyi noticed Yun Yifei's change, suppressed a laugh, and bowed her head, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Benefactor Yun."

She didn't know anything about this before; she just wanted to get revenge on Lin Muran for leaving her with this mess.

I never expected to uncover such a huge inside story.

But why were those two stealing Lin Muran's clothes?

Why not just take it openly and honestly?

She's worn it herself several times already, and she doesn't understand why she has to do it secretly.

"What about the food expenses?"

Lin Muran didn't want to miss this opportunity to get Qingyi's meal expenses reimbursed.

"Do you have any opinion?"

"No, no, I'll do whatever you say, sister."

"Then you can get to work."

"Oh, sis, what are you guys always doing standing in the back?"

"Let me observe your work process."

"."

Unlike when Bai Mengqing was spying on him, he always felt that there was a strange sour taste in this gaze.

But since she was his older sister, he couldn't say anything.

Lin Muran could only pull out a chair and sit next to Bai Mengqing, while drawing the storyboard for the later scenes in her notebook in advance according to the script, and helping her adjust the storyboard effects before drawing.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Bai Mengqing immediately learned how to import templates as soon as he sat down, and her drawing speed also increased.

"Take a look at the storyboard."

"Ah."

"Adjust the hand angle to be higher. You don't need to redraw it; just use a selection and then press Ctrl+T to rotate it."

"it is this?"

"Forget about tapping the screen with your paws, let me demonstrate for you."

"Hmm~"

"You're quite proud of yourself."

Watching Lin Muran frequently turn to Bai Mengqing to help her operate the computer, and the two tacitly handing over their work, their elbows went from being barely touching at first to being inseparable. Even if Lin Muran wanted to move away, Bai Mengqing would immediately rejoin her with her elbow.
It's just like a high school couple secretly flirting during class.

Upon seeing this scene, Yun Yifei, who was standing behind, unconsciously clenched her fists.

She always felt like the clown-like headmaster who stood outside the window, witnessed everything, but had no reasonable excuse to interrupt the class and stop it.

I was already angry, and now I'm even angrier.

Qingyi, standing to the side, smelled the sourness, comparable to aged vinegar, glanced at Lin Muran, and couldn't help but shake her head.

It seems Xiaoyun still harbors resentment towards Xiaoqinglong; I'll have to try to soothe her tonight.

No matter what, I am a spirit beast, and I must maintain the same status as hers among the spirit beasts in the family.

But right now, we have to keep her away from those two.

If this drags on any longer, the gas cylinder will explode.

Thinking of this, Qingyi patted Yun Yifei's shoulder to draw her attention back, and said with a smile, "Little Yun, I suddenly discovered a new use for eel waves, do you want to see it?"

"This"

"Since you're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, and you're going to move back later anyway, you might as well get familiar with it in advance."

Yun Yifei wanted to see what other tricks the dragon had up its sleeve, but hesitated.

But upon hearing the words "move back," she instantly recalled Yan Yifan's plan for her.

First, act as a considerate older sister to repair the relationship.

Then, using this identity, they can gradually close the distance, and when the time is right, they can reveal their true identity and take her down.

The idea of ​​winning a green plum from the sky probably only exists in the world of anime and manga.

But this is the three-dimensional world, it's reality.

How does flying dragon riding face lose?
"Ok."

Yun Yifei suddenly understood, nodded in agreement, and was then pulled by Qingyi to the living room.
