Misabella took a few steps forward on her own initiative, and stretched out a pair of smooth, white hands and wrists from under her cloak.

No sleeves were seen.

Then, she tightly grasped Bird's hands and said excitedly, "Thanks to your advice, Mr. Bird, 'Happy Paradise' has been successfully transformed and has received a lot of positive reviews in its first issue!!!"

"No, no, it's all your personal effort." Bird quickly declined.

"No, no, no, it's all your credit," Misabel insisted. "It's thanks to a genius like you, a genius who has made a magazine, that Paradise has the vitality it has today!"

Bird: “…”

It sounds so weird! What the hell is a genius at a magazine? Who wants to be that kind of genius?

It would be best if he could transform himself. After all, Bersabia is currently serialized in "Happy Paradise". However, the term "Misabelle" always makes him feel resistant.

"Besides thank you."

Misabel continued, "There are still many difficulties. I hope Teacher Bird can help me solve them."

"Well, actually, I don't know much about the adult magazine industry..."

Bird said frankly: "I probably can't help with that."

"It's okay. You're a genius at Cheng* magazine. You'll understand after listening to me once." Misabel seemed very confident in him and began to explain.

In fact, the surface atmosphere of this era was still relatively conservative. There was no rating system at all, and there were no legal adult magazines. The government's attitude towards magazines was mainly assessed based on "whether they were corrupting the atmosphere" and "whether they had received reports."

Generally, if both conditions are met at the same time, the business will be subject to review, and if it fails the review, it will be banned.

However, in special circumstances, if it is "particularly corrupting to public morals" or "reported on a large scale or by influential people", it will also be subject to investigation.

Like the previous case of "Happy Paradise", it was repeatedly shut down because of its corrupt content and reports from church members. In the end, it simply resorted to guerrilla tactics and rented a basement as an office - and this was because the government turned a blind eye.

Although "Happy Paradise" has been temporarily spared because of the serialization of Berthapeare's "Time Travel" and "The Country Teacher".

But if Misabel wants to achieve her goal of becoming "the 'adult magazine' that everyone has a copy of under the sun," relying solely on such means will not be enough.

"I see."

Bird understood and said, "You want to circumvent the censorship, right?"

"Yes," Misabel nodded. "Although, thanks to your suggestion, Happy Paradise has become much more refined and less vulgar after its transformation, it's still an adult magazine, with a lot of borderline content. If someone were to take it too seriously, it wouldn't pass censorship."

It's better not to investigate some things. If you really investigate, even a serious magazine will have a hard time, let alone a fringe magazine like "Happy Paradise".

"The review issue is indeed a troublesome matter."

Bird agreed: "But at this point, it seems that Happy Paradise is definitely walking on the edge of the line and it is impossible to completely pass the censorship."

"Oh, is there nothing you can do?"

Misabel said with some regret.

"Of course not. After all, I'm just an ordinary author. What can I do in a place like the capital where so many bigwigs gather?" Bird shrugged. "If you insist, I can only give Happy Paradise a way out, that's all."

"A way out?"

Misabel blinked and asked in confusion.

"Yes, if Happy Paradise is ever maliciously reported and can't survive in the capital, perhaps we could consider moving to Forks," Bird said. "I know the mayor of Forks, so we don't have to worry about reports here."

Chapter 146 It took a lot of effort to get through

Moving to the Fox District is destined to be a last resort.

After all, the Fox District is just a small place on the edge. Although it is currently being developed with all its strength, its conditions in all aspects are much worse than those in the Central City, which is the capital. Whether it is the consumption power of residents, printing equipment, transportation conditions, etc., they can only be described as simple.

As long as Misabel still has a chance, she will never give up the current good situation of "Happy Paradise".

So after learning this, Misabel just nodded slightly and said with a polite smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Bird. It's really a great help. Now I can worry less."

"No, no, it's just a small favor."

Bird knew that the other party would not really do that, so he nodded politely.

The two of them were hypocritical to each other for a while.

Bird suddenly remembered something and took out the handwritten copy of "Lolita" that he had just won. "Oh, this is for you. I was planning to send it to the editorial department when I had some free time."

"This is?"

Misabel's eyes lit up when she saw the thick stack of manuscript paper: "Is it a new work?"

I am really looking forward to it. How wonderful will Mr. Bersabia’s latest magical work be?

She glanced at the title.

Lolita

Well, the title of the book makes it difficult to associate it with a fantasy novel. It is even more abstract than "The Rural Teacher".

"Um...it should be considered a new work."

Bird said uncertainly, "But not under the name of Berthabia. I hope it can be published anonymously, preferably without a name."

"Anonymous form."

Misabel opened her eyes wide, staring at the manuscript paper in shock, revealing the same shocked expression she had when she first saw the Little Emperor's Book: "Could it be that, could it be that this is... the Little Emperor's Book???"

Shock.

A well-known fantasy writer went into the entertainment industry and started writing Little Emperor books.

"Ahem, it's not really a small imperial book, at most it has some borderline content..."

Bird said a little embarrassedly, "I was watching the remake of 'Happy Paradise' and lacked a work that matched the overall style, so I wrote a little bit - but let me be clear, this is definitely not what I wanted to write!"

Misabel secretly checked the thickness of the manuscript paper.

There is so much content that it is impossible to write it in just a few days. It must be that Mr. Bird is embarrassed to admit it.

There's nothing to be ashamed of. What's wrong with wanting to write about sese? Who hasn't had sese fantasies? This is just a step further, putting those inner fantasies on paper. Even if there's something wrong, it's the world that doesn't allow sese to be publicly expressed that's wrong.

"I understand, Mr. Bird."

Misabel gave him an 'I get it' look. "In that case, what pen name are you planning to use?"

Bird shook his head: "I haven't thought about that."

Misabel thought for a moment and offered a suggestion: "In that case, how about calling it Canary?"

"Canary?"

Bird looked puzzled. "Is there anything special about this pen name? It always sounds a bit feminine."

Misabel explained, "Well, Mr. Bird, your name 'Bird' sounds a bit like 'bird', doesn't it?"

"It does look a bit like it."

Bird thought for a moment and then asked, "Why a canary and not some other bird?"

Misabel smiled meaningfully: "Canary feathers are yellow."

Bird: “…”

Misabel smiled and said, "Since you have no objection, then let's make it like this. If you want to publish your own novels in the future, you can use this pen name."

After deciding on the pen name, she couldn't wait to lower her head and appreciate the little imperial novel produced by Teacher Bird.

Really looking forward to it.

This feeling of anticipation is even greater than the anticipation for Mr. Bird's new magical work.

Bird could understand Misabelle's feelings. After all, if he knew that Liu Cixin had written a small imperial novel, he would definitely appreciate it as soon as possible no matter what he was doing.

However, he glanced at the time and stopped the other person from flipping through the pages.

"Don't look at this from me."

He began, "My companions here will be back soon, and to be honest, I don't really want them to know that I wrote a book like Lolita."

Other books are fine.

If a book like "Lolita" were to be seen by Sarah or Sophia when they return... he might as well die.

At most, Sarah would call a simple little royal article a pervert, and she might even read it secretly afterwards.

But you have to know that the main content of "Lolita" describes a middle-aged man named Humbert who is madly obsessed with a girl named Lolita who is much older than him. In order to get close to her, he even married her mother. After having sex with her, he used all means to control her in order to satisfy the dark desires in his heart.

Although Bird is not a middle-aged man, Sarah, Sophia, and Lolita are a little bit similar in age...

To sum up, Bird will definitely take this matter to his grave and no one will know about it!

Hear Bird's request.

Misabel, who was about to taste the food, paused and put away the manuscript paper. "Oh, so that's it. I see. I'll go back and taste it."

Although she felt very sorry and wanted to appreciate the little imperial article written by Mr. Bird immediately, she still knew the situation and it was impossible for her to go against Bird's request in person.

Just now.

"Ah-"

Misabel sneezed a little.

Seeing this, Bird politely said, "It's cold now, Editor Misabel, please keep warm."

"Thanks for your concern, but this reminds me."

Misabel said, "I was so happy chatting with you, Mr. Bird, that I almost forgot about the important things."

"Business?"

Bird was stunned. "What business? Wasn't that what we were talking about just now?"

"Well, my main purpose this time is to thank you, Mr. Bird," Misabelle said.

"Oh, that's not necessary."

Bird waved his hand: "I don't need any thanks."

"No, you've been so helpful, I must thank you." Misabel tightened her cloak around her and said with emotion, "Besides, I've worked so hard to get through this, and I can't let it go to waste."

"wear?"

Bird noticed a strange word.

At this moment, Misabel suddenly brought up something seemingly unrelated: "The new issue of 'Happy Paradise' has been very well received, especially the commissioned color cover featuring a blonde model wearing black lace-up lingerie. It's been widely praised by male readers..."

Chapter 147 Fresh and Warm Same Style Clothes

Listening to Misabel's description, Bird's heart skipped a beat, and he had a very ominous premonition.

He looked at it carefully.

The black cloak wrapped Misabel's petite body tightly, with only her small green head sticking out. If the owner of the cloak didn't lift it up herself, it would be impossible to tell what she was wearing underneath...

If you want to judge.

When they first met, they shook hands, but at that time he only saw Misabel's white little hands and a small part of her equally smooth wrist, and didn't see anything like sleeves...

Then, the girl sneezed just now and seemed to be very cold...

Why is it so cold?

Difficult, could it be???

Bird thought of some very outrageous possibility in his mind, and suddenly took a breath, his face full of disbelief.

But immediately he felt that his idea was a little bit outrageous.

No, no, no, this is outrageous. In this weather, wearing only that new-style clothes, with a cloak on the outside, walking all the way from the editorial office, Bird felt that even the plot of a novel would not dare to write like this...

Besides, we just met for a short time, and it doesn’t make sense to show her underwear to a man.

Even the editor-in-chief of a magazine wouldn't do that, right?

"I've thought about it, but there's nothing I can do to repay Mr. Bird..."

Misabelle continued to explain her crime... Her motive for thanking him: "Since the new lingerie designs by Cover Girl were so popular, I thought Mr. Bird would like them too, so I quickly sent someone to order a copy overnight for Mr. Bird."

"Send me a new style of women's underwear?"

Bird was stunned for a moment.

Why is it different from what he imagined? Shouldn't he have worn it and shown it to me? Why did he give me a copy?

But it felt a lot more normal.
