The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　"Subjectively, there is no distinction between high and low works, but objectively, there are differences in the quality of works."

　"You know, the ocean of literature is vast and boundless. We are lucky to find our place in it and resonate with it."

　As soon as these words were spoken, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

　There were some readers who were slightly unhappy with Carly's rejection of newspaper novels, but after her speech, most of them showed appreciation.

　And Finkiho...

　Xing Mo took a quick glance and found that he had already left secretly, with a dejected look on his back.

　I thought he would make some more excuses.

　It seems like he still has a low self-esteem...

　"By the way, everyone, please support 'Stars and Trees'!" Carly smiled and took Aurora's hand. "This kid's first time writing a book, but he's incredibly talented. His writing is quite detailed and interesting. It's definitely not as catchy as the one the gentleman just wrote, but we always need better writing, like 'The Sea of ​​Flowers is Always Blooming,' right?"

　"Yep!"

　"Okay, okay, I'll vote for 'Stars and Trees' tomorrow. Actually, I wasn't really interested in reading that doujinshi originally, I mainly voted because of the name 'Yesterday's Sailboat'..."

　""

　Amidst the cheers, Carly squeezed Aurora's shoulders and whispered:

　"Xiaoshu, so you are also a fan of my books?"

　"Well..."

　This made Aurora blush a little. She turned her head away, awkwardly for a moment, then quickly nodded.

　"Um..."

　At this moment, she seemed to realize something and looked at Carly in shock:

　"So, those little lesbian stories in the book... Carly and her sister..."

　"Shh..."

　Kali sealed Aurora's mouth with her index finger and smiled softly:

　"No, there's no way that little white flower would let me bully her like that..."

　"but..."

　"Half true, half false~"

　"Half...half true, half false? So is it true or false..."

　“You can guess which ones are true and which ones are false~”

　"Gu...it doesn't matter. Anyway, we have tried it on the little saint..."

Chapter 653: Laziness in Comfort (Part 12) -3k- (Two Updates in One)

　After the book signing, Xingmo and his group went to a high-end restaurant in Massena.

　Along the way, Aurora repeatedly stroked the novel she had just bought: "The Sea of ​​Flowers is Always Blooming", Volume 13, which was signed by the author Camellia.

　Seeing how fond Aurora was of it, Carly smiled softly and looked at Xingmo:

　"Does she like my novel so much?"

　“I really like it...”

　Xingmo looked at Carly with resentment, and Carly seemed to understand something all of a sudden.

　"Art creation." She smiled faintly.

　"It's indeed a work of art," Perlis waved at the reserved seat, "This way."

　The group sat down by the window. Through the carved crystal windows, the bustling nightscape of Massena came into view. Kerosene lamps lit up on both sides of the street. Electric lights were on around the hotel—in that era, using electric lights was actually a display of strength.

　From time to time, a steam train would pass by on the street, making the whirring sound of the steam engine running.

　Prosperity and peace.

　As soon as Aurora sat down, she couldn't wait to ask Perlis across the table:

　"Sister, is that you, the weak one down there every day?"

　These words made Polys faint. She frowned and glanced at Carly who was giggling beside her.

　“That’s art!” she said.

　"Art comes from life~" Aurora showed a wicked smile on her face.

　"Aurora~"

　"Kidding!"

　Aurora stood up, ran to Perlis, threw herself into her arms, and rubbed her neck.

　Perlis hugged her, rubbing her head while looking at Xingmo across the table with an indifferent expression.

　Smile:

　"Xiao Mo, when can you come to Gao Tianting for a visit? My unreliable street urchin wants to meet you."

　Unreliable street urchin...

　It can’t be the king in the ivory tower...right?

　Xingmo couldn't help but feel ashamed when she recalled Aurora calling that person "a small fry in the ivory tower".

　You guys really have no sense of distance...Aren't you afraid of God's punishment?

　"I... will come after I finish these things!" Xing Mo said.

　"Don't worry, we have some things to deal with right away."

　Perlis kissed Aurora on the forehead, let her go, and straightened her expression:

　"Let's go together then."

　"What's the matter?" Xing Mo was a little curious.

　"I'm going to kill the String Painter." Perlis said lightly.

　As soon as these words were spoken, Xing Mo was stunned.

　Go kill...the String Painter...

　A faint golden light flashed in her eyes, and she said softly:

　"I can help you."

　"I'll call you if necessary," Perlis smiled, "but not so soon. We need to figure out a few things first."

　"I can help you find it," Xingmo's right eye flashed with countless golden symbols, "You know, I can find anything on the River of Destiny."

　"In fact, we have found it."

　Carly sat down at the table. She had already gone to the kitchen to talk to the chef.

　"When we were living in the Silver Blade Tribe, we asked the Angel of Knowledge for help to find out information about a fallen object."

　"Fallen things?" Aurora was curious.

　Carly nodded and said:

　"On the night when the Shepherd's String coalesced, the Star-Scorning warships were destroyed. Although most of them perished in deep space, we deliberately spared a few."

　"Some of them didn't survive, and some were forced to land on Muguang Star."

　"Crash landing?"

　As soon as these words came out, Xing Mo frowned slightly:

　“I didn’t notice at all…”

　"The Star-Scorning Tribe knows how to conceal themselves from the conceptual level, thus blending themselves into the ocean of concepts," Perlis said softly. "If you don't have the relevant power, it's normal not to notice their existence."

　"But the Angel of Knowledge has the relevant authority," Carly nodded. "It took her two full years to find out the location where the battleship crashed from the ocean of knowledge."

　"Where?" Aurora asked.

　"The Sea of ​​Lost Souls west of the Falu Mountains," Perlis whispered, "but it's just a coordinate; its depth is unknown."

　"We haven't used our authority to remove it yet," Carly said. "The Angels of Knowledge simply tried to touch that concept, and they reacted with force—the storms and currents in the Sea of ​​Lost Souls became several times more violent, and the local fishermen suffered terribly."

　"If we force our way there, they might self-destruct," Perlis shook her head. "So don't worry, just soothe them for a while and tease them a little."

　Can you actually detect hostility at a conceptual level and take precautions in advance?

　After Perlis and Carly provided information, Xingmo had a new understanding of the existence of the Contempt Star Clan.

　The advanced civilization cultivated by the String Painters obviously possesses considerable power.

　"Let's not talk about this," Perlis looked at Aurora across the table, "Xiaoshu, have you started writing a book?"

　"I'm the king of writing books." Aurora put her hands on her hips.

　"It's normal for Havrgard to have great artistic talent," Perlis chuckled, "but I never thought you would actually start writing a book."

　"What do you mean!" Aurora obviously noticed the hidden meaning.

　"I feel like you're still a playful little girl," Perlis muttered. "Writing a book, something that requires concentration, doesn't seem like something you should be doing at this stage."

　"So what do you think we should do at this stage?" Aurora asked.

　"Go travel, eat, and ask your little saint to pay your bills." Perlis shrugged.

　"It's almost the same actually..." Xing Mo chuckled.

　"Stereotype!" Aurora was extremely dissatisfied. "I can do so much more! I used the authority of the Lost Kingdom to create a large number of followers before, and they even formed a biosphere!"

　"No one dares to step into the Holy Tree Forest now." Xing Mo added.

　"Stop talking!" Aurora puffed up her cheeks.

　Seeing her cute appearance, everyone laughed.

　"But it seems your publishing process isn't going smoothly." Carly took Perlis's wine glass and poured herself a glass of wine. "Xiaomo, would you like some?"

　"I'll drink some." Xingmo said.

　"We want to drink too!"

　Aurora reached out to take her wine glass, but Xingmo was one step ahead of her and took her glass away.

　She glanced at her sister across from her who also had no wine glass, and the two sisters sighed at the same time.

　"It's not going well!" Aurora huffed. "We were even laughed at by that fat guy who writes fast food fanzines!"

　"Why would you be angry with someone like that?" Carly raised her glass and clinked it with Xingmo's. "Didn't I fight back for you?"

　"But I still get angry when I think about it," Aurora muttered. "He said my writing was just nerdy. It's obvious that his writing was just too vulgar. He doesn't know how to appreciate words, can't feel the beauty in them, so he thinks I'm nerdy!"

　"That's right. This is how most people react when faced with texts they can't bear to read," said Perlis.

　The other nodded, "Actually, the same thing was said about 'Flowers Are Always Blooming'."

　"Huh?" Aurora looked at Carly in surprise. "Really?"

　"Yes," Carly nodded, "At least that's the case with the first volume. Although the editorial department approved it, it wasn't very popular with readers, and there were also many similar criticisms."

　Aurora felt it was incredible for a moment. She stared at Carly blankly for a long time, and her cheeks puffed up.

　"unfair!"

　"It's not fair or unfair," Carly chuckled. "Starting from the seventh volume, I changed the writing style a bit, making it much more readable. In a way, it's more in line with the preferences of casual readers?"

　“It’s true that many previous readers feel that the writing is not as exciting as before, but this has also attracted more readers and gained greater fame.”

　"Won't you feel regretful about throwing away your own things?" Aurora said with a look of disappointment.

　"That's not the case," Carly blinked. "I didn't lose anything. Doesn't it mean that the story of "Flowers Are Always Blooming" is not exciting starting from the seventh volume?"

　"Very exciting!" Aurora nodded quickly.

　"Yes, the core of the story hasn't changed, and the emotions haven't changed either. It's just that the narrative has been made a little more relaxed," Carly nodded slightly. "Isn't this a good direction? Writing novels that more people can read, so that you can truly convey your ideas."

　"So that's how it is... You can change the way you write stories so that more people will enjoy reading them, but don't lose sight of your original intention..."

　Aurora looked enlightened.

　"I get it. This is much better than newspaper novels like 'Yesterday's Sailboat'! They're either quick and brainless, or they're pretentious, quoting a bunch of memes from famous works to try to make readers think they're profound, but it's all fake!"
