I'm drawing an action-packed anime within a depressing one!

This is the most exciting moment!

I clicked on the comic book with great excitement.

However, He Zhou was drawing comics today, but what he was drawing was not quite right.

There was neither the demon pill she had imagined, nor Nezha as she had envisioned.

When he was resting and going to bed at night, he picked up Nezha's drawing paper and turned to a new page.

I drew a little person bowing at the bottom.

It seemed like he wanted to say something to them.

...

Everyone had a bad feeling.

isn't it?

Don't do this!!

It's simply because this is in Tian Xiaoxi's comic.

Previously, whenever I saw Tian Xiaoxi's author's remarks, it was basically equivalent to a "castrated eunuch's remarks."

What she wanted to say all revolved around eunuchs.

Everyone gets a bit of PTSD when they see something like "Author's Remarks".

What are they planning to do?

[Perhaps they have something they want to discuss with us?]

[Are they going to castrate him? This hasn't even affected his combat strength!]

But Lao He has been drawing sticks the whole time; he hasn't drawn anything about Nezha at all.

...

Song Yaoyao immediately tensed up, her heart pounding in her chest.

Her hands trembled as she flipped herself backward.

But the next picture was of a little person grinning.

The words above were written in large characters: [The Legend of Red Lotus Demon Child's Havoc in the Sea is temporarily suspended!]

For the sake of the artwork's presentation! I'll start drawing the sequel after finishing the next short story, "Havoc in Heaven"!

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The moment the words "discontinued" came out.

The entire comment section exploded.

Will there be a temporary hiatus before the finale?

What's the difference between temporarily suspending updates and abandoning the project?

How could Lao He do such a thing!

This must have been instigated by Tian Xiaoxi!

The readers were outraged.

The top comment was:

[Tian Xiaoxi!!! You get out here right now!!!]

Chapter 69 was discontinued for the sake of a stick (Part 2)? (Please continue reading)

"You've framed me!"

"This is absolutely a frame-up!!"

"I don't!!!"

When Tian Xiaoxi saw the words "[Temporarily suspended]", she jumped to her feet, feeling more wronged than Dou E: "I didn't!!"

"What's wrong with them?!"

"It really wasn't me this time!"

They clearly know that these comics were drawn by He Zhou, so why is it her fault that they've temporarily stopped updating them?

Is that right?

Is that right?! Ah!!

Tian Xiaoxi couldn't help but want to shout to the heavens to explain that a complete comic could increase the traffic to her comic!

Nowadays, some people have even spontaneously compiled a table of contents and posted it in the comments section. Visitors can accurately distinguish where the main storyline and the comic chapters drawn by He Zhou are. Many people will also catch up on the main storyline of her "Monster City" when they are bored after reading the comic.

How could she possibly instigate He Zhou to stop updating his work!

No delusion!

...

The comments section was filled with angry readers.

[Tian Xiaoxi! Was this the terrible idea you came up with? Did you say something about art to Lao He again? Otherwise, why would Lao He use such an excuse to stop updating!]

[It wasn't Tian Xiaoxi who instigated me to let her kick my head like a ball! Tian Xiaoxi loves to talk about art all the time!]

【I give up! Tian Xiaoxi, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for us? I admit I cursed you when you were a eunuch! You don't have to retaliate like this!】

Tian Xiaoxi frantically explained in the comments section!

I swear on my honor! This time it was definitely not me!

reply:【?】

Two pictures are below.

One of the comments is from Tian Xiaoxi when she finished drawing the first chapter of her previous comic: "I really want to update properly this time! I swear on my honor, I will definitely finish it this time!"

The second image is a familiar message: "[Sorry everyone, I'll stop here for now. I'll leave the rest open-ended.]"

...

Tian Xiaoxi's expression was somewhat stiff.

Did she say that?

It seems like she said it!

She immediately replied in a very friendly tone: 【But this time it's really different! This time it's definitely not me!】

Someone threw another picture at her face.

She made the same promise as before: "This time it's really different! Please trust me one more time!"

"..."

Tian Xiaoxi was speechless, finally understanding what it meant to be unable to defend oneself.

She was both anxious and frustrated. Seeing the barrage of insults on the screen, she could only send an email to He Zhou immediately.

【What are you doing! Why did you stop updating! Don't you know this behavior is wrong! They're all criticizing me!】

After typing, I stared at the wording for a long time.

Isn't that a very harsh tone?

What if He Zhou gets so angry that he refuses to cooperate?

Hesitantly, she reluctantly changed her tone: 【Dear collaborator He Zhou, why did you stop updating? Could you please finish the ending? ^^】

...

After posting, Tian Xiaoxi glanced at the comments section.

When she saw the comments section, she almost fainted.

Someone posted a long analysis below.

First, let me analyze why it must have been Tian Xiaoxi who instigated or instructed it, rather than Lao He. The reasons are as follows.

First, Tian Xiaoxi is a repeat offender. At least she used to finish the story around chapter 20 or so before abandoning it, and at least drew something. But she's become increasingly outrageous since then, claiming it's for artistic purposes!

Secondly, look at Lao He's previous comics, such as Calabash Brothers; his comics all contain metaphors.

It's clear that Lao He is a person with very insightful and profound ideas about content; he would never arbitrarily stop updating!

Lao He and Tian Xiaoxi are different! So this time it's definitely because of Tian Xiaoxi! We have to wait patiently for Lao He's explanation!

Someone asked below: "But Lao He didn't post any comments in the comment section."

The original poster replied: 【Old He will definitely draw that in the comics! We need to wait patiently! We need to have faith in Old He!】

That level of tolerance!

That level of trust!

That level of face-changing!

Tian Xiaoxi was completely stunned.

No!

Why are you changing your tune like this?!

You're both comic book artists, so how come you're so patient with He Zhou!

...

After reading the comments section for a while, Tian Xiaoxi quickly saw He Zhou's message to her in the latest chapter of the comic.

"Humph!"

"They must know about this and are here to comfort me..."

Before she could finish speaking, after zooming in and seeing that line of text, Tian Xiaoxi almost couldn't hold back her tears.

[My collaborator, could you please help me refine these key pieces? This is extremely important.]

"..."

What time is it?!

You're still drawing this stupid stick!

Tian Xiaoxi was furious, but when she saw the words "My Collaborator," she shifted her body and hesitated for a moment.

But he admitted that she was his collaborator.

After hesitating for a moment, she reluctantly picked up her paintbrush and began to carefully draw the "Sea-Stabilizing Needle" according to He Zhou's design.

While she was drawing, she also had to answer Song Yaoyao's phone call and make a promise to Li Yifei.

"No! He'll definitely resume updating!"

"We've made contact!"

"He must already be drawing it!"

There will definitely be an ending!

"If there's no ending, I'll fill in the gaps..."

After she finished speaking, Song Yaoyao, who had been filled with righteous indignation, fell silent.

This silence left Tian Xiaoxi with a lot of questions.

"What's wrong? I can really fill in the gaps! I've already thought about the rest of the plot, I'll just..."

"Xiao west."

"Ok?"

"Now I can suddenly accept it again."

Song Yaoyao sighed, "The thought of you coming to fill in the gaps in the ending makes me feel that waiting for Lao He isn't so bad."

"I'm hanging up!"
