Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

"Yes, I will. After all, I have waited for so many years."

At this moment, Teshima's gaze had turned to the distance, as if he was waiting for his lover to appear.

"Mr. Teshima, I hope the lover you are waiting for will reunite with you soon. Goodbye!"

After saying goodbye to Tejima, the three embarked on their journey home.

"Traveler, do you have Mora?" Ueno Chiki wanted to borrow some Mora from Yingmei to buy some groceries and household items at the general store.

In the future, Yingmei and Paimon will be staying at his place for a while.

"Yes, but not many," Yingmei replied somewhat embarrassedly.

"Lend me some."

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"how much do you have?"

"one hundred."

"Pretend I didn't ask."

Unable to rely on Yingmei, this poor girl, he had no choice but to go to Yaedo to settle his royalties first.

........

At dusk, Ueno Chiki arrived at Yaedo with Yingmei and Paimon.

Kuroda, standing in the center of the counter, looked much better than before and was no longer so dejected.

"Editor Kuroda, it's been a long time. I've come today to settle my payment for the article."

"Chiki Ueno, the sales of 'Young Duck' have been decent lately, with about a hundred copies sold, and the royalties are only 10,000 Mora. However, according to my estimation, this light novel has no further sales potential, and it would be good if the total sales reached 500 copies. You need to work harder on your next novel."

At this moment, Yingmei stepped forward and said, "Qianshu, can I read one of your light novels?"

Kuroda was quite surprised by Yingmei's affectionate way of addressing Ueno Chiki, and couldn't help but ask, "Ueno Chiki, is this your foreign girlfriend?"

"No, no, no, she is a famous traveler, a friend I just met recently."

Ueno Chiki quickly explained.

"So you're the traveler who quelled the Mondstadt dragon calamity and helped Liyue defeat the Maelstrom? I've heard so much about you." Kuroda scrutinized her, finding her to be no different from any other girl, except for the flying pet beside her.

Yingmei raised her eyebrows slightly, put her hands on her hips, and said smugly, "I didn't expect that even Inazuma, who lives in a closed country, would have someone who knows me, hahahaha."

Paimon and Chiki Ueno covered their foreheads, speechless at Yingmei's complete disregard for her image.

But it is precisely Yingmei's innocent personality that attracts them so much.

This was the first time Kuroda had ever seen such a heroic figure; it was truly an eye-opening experience.

"Traveler, if you have any light novels you'd like to read, Yaedo can give them to you for free."

Yingmei's eyes lit up immediately, "Really?"

"of course it's true."

"I want that book, 'Husband's Impotence, ....'"

In that instant, Ueno Chiki just wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

This is absolutely outrageous!

A teenage girl actually went to a light novel store, specifically asking for light novels that border on erotica.

The key point is that this light novel was written by someone close to her.

Kuroda was completely stunned. It took him a long time to recover from the shock. He looked at Ueno Chiki with a complicated expression, his eyes filled with unspoken words.

"Traveler, I'm sorry, this book is currently banned, and I don't have it here. If you want it, you can ask..."

"Ahem." Ueno Chiki's dry cough interrupted Kuroda's words.

Yingmei was very sorry that such a good book was banned. "What a pity. Since that's the case, then give me a copy of 'Young Dali Duck'."

Kuroda took a book from the bookshelf and handed it to her.

She burst out laughing as soon as she saw the cover, because the person on the cover looked a lot like someone she knew, Prince D'Artagnan.

Chapter 35 First Intimate Contact

Aoi, the owner of the Ninety-Nine Goods Shop, stood behind the counter with a dejected expression, as if something bad had happened.

"Mr. Aoi, what's wrong? Have you encountered some difficulties?" asked Chiki Ueno, who came to shop.

With a sorrowful look in her eyes and a mournful tone, Kui said, "Someone owes me a large sum of money and hasn't paid it back."

"This is indeed a rather sad thing, but who would dare to owe you money? Everyone knows you have a close relationship with that guy from Tianling Fengxing, doesn't he?"

"It's that bastard Kurosawa. I thought that someone like him, a member of the Tenryo magistrate's army, wouldn't renege on his debt, but it's been so long and I haven't seen him at all. My buddy went to ask him for the money, but he said he didn't remember it at all. It's infuriating!"

Chiki Ueno struggled to control her facial expressions and prevent herself from laughing out loud.

He would feel sympathy and indignation if others encountered such a thing, but when the unscrupulous merchant Kui encountered such a thing, he would only applaud in his heart.

"Sigh, I never expected Kurosawa to be this kind of person." In front of Aoi, he could only share her hatred; he couldn't very well gloat.

"Boss Kui, I've come to buy fifty catties of rice, two catties of meat, and some seasonings."

The arrival of business finally lifted Aoi's spirits considerably. She roused herself, called over a shop assistant, and brought the goods that Ueno Chiki wanted to buy to him.

"Traveler, put these things into your inventory bag first."

"okay."

With a thought, Yingmei instantly vanished and stored in her spatial backpack.

Chiki Ueno watched this scene with envy; Yingmei's spatial backpack ability was just too useful.

The three returned to Chiki Ueno's house in the dim twilight.

Yingmei found a comfortable spot in front of the door, opened "Young Dali Duck," and began reading with Paimon.

Meanwhile, Chiki Ueno began preparing the ingredients for tonight's dinner.

Soon, a decent dinner was ready: braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and vegetable soup.

Yingmei's mouth was practically watering as she looked at the delicious-looking dinner.

She quickly picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks. The pork was bright red, with a perfect balance of fat and lean meat, and you could almost see its juicy filling and its enticing aroma.

With a gentle bite, the braised pork burst in her mouth, its crispy skin and tender meat filling her mouth with a blissful flavor.

"This is absolutely delicious! Although it's not quite as good as Xiangling's, it's still really tasty!"

After making this remark, Yingmei devoured the plate of braised pork without any regard for her image.

"Traveler, don't eat alone!" Paimon quickly joined the fray.

Ueno Chiki watched the two of them devour the food like hungry wolves, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.

But soon, his smile vanished, because the two of them were eating too fast.

In the blink of an eye, they devoured a plate of braised pork.

They turned their attention to refreshing farmhouse stir-fries.

"Hey, leave some for me."

But Yingmei and Paimon, who were already in a frenzy of fighting, didn't care about him anymore and continued to wolf down their food.

Left with no other choice, Ueno Chiki had to join the fierce battle.

A three-way battle has begun.

……

After dinner, night fell.

Yingmei lay sprawled on the mat on the ground, completely unconcerned about her appearance, and exclaimed contentedly, "This is life!"

"I wish it could be like this every day." Paimon, lying next to her, also looked blissful.

"Hey, Chiki, tell us a story. Aren't you a light novel author? This should be a piece of cake for you."

Ueno Chiki was also bored, so he started telling Yingmei a story.

The Water Dragon King Navelette was looking for a husband for his daughter Fufu. The requirements were simple: anyone who weighed over 100 pounds would be eligible.

The sea turtle was very excited when it heard about it and came over to weigh itself, but unfortunately it only weighed 99 pounds.

On his way home, he encountered a small shrimp.

He had a sudden inspiration and said to the little shrimp, "I weigh exactly ninety-nine pounds, and you weigh exactly one pound. You can hide it in my ear, and I'll go again tomorrow, and it will weigh exactly one hundred pounds. If I become the Dragon King's son-in-law, I'll share half of my wealth and glory with you."

Upon hearing this, the little shrimp was overjoyed and agreed.

The next day, the sea turtle confidently stepped onto the scale and weighed exactly 100 pounds.

But then, an awkward scene unfolded: the little shrimp just emerged from the turtle's ear and was seen by the Dragon King Navelette.

Navelette asked angrily, "What are you doing, you little shrimp?"

The little shrimp said nervously, "I...I...I'm telling a story to the turtle."

After finishing the story, Yingmei scratched her head, "That's it? No sequel?"

Seeing her still puzzled expression, Ueno Chiki repeated, "I'm telling a story to a turtle."

At this moment, Paimon realized what was happening. "Ueno Chiki, you're so mean. I've decided that you'll be number one on my list of most hated people."

Yingmei was still completely confused. "What's wrong with Qianshu?"

Paimon held her forehead in her hand; she was truly about to be defeated by Yingmei.

"I'm telling a story to a turtle. Qian Shu is the storyteller, so who is the turtle?"

Yingmei then realized what had happened, and the thought of how silly she had been made her furious.

Enraged, she pounced on Ueno Chiki and started tickling him relentlessly.

Because Yingmei was a girl, Ueno Chiki felt embarrassed to use force and could only beg for mercy from her.

After a while, Yingmei finally let him go.
