Chapter 29: Yang Mi: Ye Xuan, I want to send you razor blades!

"What?! That man who rejected the Nobel Prize has a new book out?!"

"Ye Xuan’s books are an absolute must-buy, no-brainer!"

"Doesn't this guy’s inspiration run dry? It hasn't been long since the last two..."

"Which great writer doesn't spend ten years writing a masterpiece?! How is this guy so fast?!"

"Was he awakened by the sound of my clapper?!"

Just as the chat was overflowing, a creak came from the door.

Yang Mi looked up and saw Ye Xuan entering with an enamel mug.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s confused expression, Yang Mi explained first.

"I came to tell you about the pig-selling situation..."

Yang Mi had prepared her words on the way, but now she brushed over the pig-selling situation in just a few sentences.

Not for anything else, but because there was something more important in front of her!

It was Ye Xuan’s new book!

Thinking that the new book was right in front of her, Yang Mi’s bright eyes lit up.

She couldn't wait to point at the new book on the computer, asking with anticipation.

"Ye Xuan, this is your new book, right?"

Seeing Ye Xuan nod, Yang Mi curled her lips, her tone filled with expectation and excitement.

It was as if the idol she had admired for years was standing in front of her, and she was a little fan girl waiting for an autograph.

"Can I take a look?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan didn't intend to refuse.

According to his original plan, he intended to write and update *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* simultaneously.

He had already finished the first five chapters, so why not let Yang Mi take a look?!

Seeing Ye Xuan nod in agreement, Yang Mi’s eyes flashed with excitement!

This was the new book of Nobel Prize winner Ye Xuan!

She didn't expect to be the first reader?!

Taking a deep breath and suppressing her excitement, Yang Mi sat at the computer desk and focused on the screen.

The opening of the novel immediately caught her eye.

"The vast waters of the Qiantang River, day and night, flowed endlessly past Niu Family Village in Lin'an, flowing east into the sea."

Hmm...

For some reason, as soon as her eyes touched these words, Yang Mi’s heart slowly calmed down.

The words "vast waters," "day and night," and "endless" seemed to roll forward like the wheels of history, instantly capturing Yang Mi’s attention.

Yang Mi read very, very slowly.

She hadn't read a book at such a slow pace in a long time.

The 365-day-a-year work schedule in the entertainment industry had long left Yang Mi with very little rest time.

High-intensity filming tasks and the pressure of memorizing lines had made her a speed-reader.

However, at this moment, ten minutes had already passed.

She had only finished the first chapter.

"Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin?!"

Muttering to herself, Yang Mi’s thoughts were already rising and falling with the story.

The Jin army moved south, the Divine Land sank, the Central Plains fell, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

The Southern Song and Jin Dynasties stood side by side, divided by the Yangtze River.

In troubled times, the imperial court was corrupt and rotten, while chivalrous heroes emerged from the people.

The Quanzhen Sect’s Qiu Chuji assassinated a traitor and happened to meet the two loyal descendants, Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin.

Learning that both their wives were pregnant, Qiu Chuji bestowed the names Guo Jing and Yang Kang upon the unborn children.

But who knew disaster would strike? Corrupt officials chased Qiu Chuji to this place, and the Guo and Yang families were destroyed in an instant!

Seeing this, Yang Mi bit her lip, her eyes filled with anger.

As descendants of loyalists, why should they suffer the destruction of their homes and the separation of their families?!

While the corrupt officials could hold power, rise to prominence, and dominate?!

The contrast depicted by the excellent writing seemed to unfold a scroll of the Jin people’s brutal looting and the displaced Han people...

Yang Mi felt her breathing accelerate, her chest rising and falling.

Until Qiu Chuji appeared again...

Through a misunderstanding, Qiu Chuji and the Seven Freaks of the South became acquainted through a fight.

They made a bet to find the descendants of the Yang and Guo families and teach them martial arts.

Eighteen years later, they would compete at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to avenge their fathers!

Seeing this, Yang Mi felt her breath almost freeze.

Could Qiu Chuji and the Seven Freaks of the South find the descendants of Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin?!

They should be able to, right?!

Her mind was filled with the plot of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*. Yang Mi stared at the screen without blinking, sighing as the story rose and fell.

When she flipped to the next page and saw the Seven Freaks of the South finding Guo Jing, Yang Mi gripped the mouse even tighter.

Thank goodness they found him...

Continuing to read, she saw the Seven Freaks of the South thinking Guo Jing was mediocre and wanting to test his courage, but unexpectedly, Guo Jing ran into the Twin Evils of the Black Wind. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====

The Seven Freaks of the South fought the Twin Evils of the Black Wind, but the final outcome was that Chen Xuanfeng and one of the seven were both severely injured.

Seeing the words "*Nine Yin Manual*," curiosity sparked in Yang Mi’s eyes.

With a light click of the mouse, the content on the screen continued. Yang Mi saw a young boy pick up a bow and arrow, kneeling on his right knee, holding the bow with his left hand.

The bow was bent like a full moon, the arrow like a shooting star, one arrow hitting two eagles!

Brave!

Magnificent!

Yang Mi almost couldn't help but applaud.

But seeing the young boy blankly pulling the Taoist to touch his head and kowtow, crying that "I am too stupid, I can't learn martial arts, I made my master angry," Yang Mi felt a pang of heartache.

He was still just a child...

Continuing to read, seeing the martial arts competition that was bound to shock the world’s heroes getting closer, Yang Mi’s heart tightened.

Would Guo Jing win?!

Or would Yang Kang win?!

Yang Mi was now completely immersed in the world of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*.

However, just as she clicked to the next chapter, the story came to an abrupt end.

The final text stopped at this sentence.

"Guo Jing said, 'Absolutely not!'"

Finished?!

That’s it?!

Just like that?!

Isn't this completely teasing the audience?!

Which "cliffhanger ghost" did this wicked thing?!

How did it happen to stop at the most critical moment?!

Stuck in the middle like this, where is one supposed to put this breath?!

Yang Mi was so angry her scalp felt numb.

The cameraman behind her had been filming Yang Mi’s performance, and the live stream chat was already in an uproar.

"Boss Yang has been reading for a long time, why hasn't she said anything?!"

"I’ve waited until my flowers withered!"

"I’m so nervous! What did he write?!"

"Can you let me take a look too?!"

Under the production team’s high-definition camera, Yang Mi puffed out her cheeks in anger and blurted out a sentence.

"Ye Xuan, I want to send you razor blades!"

As soon as she said this, the netizens were all dumbfounded.

This... what is going on?! ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
